Chapter 170: 170: The Vulnerable Junyi
The location where the signal flares had been fired was dozens of miles away from Ye Fei, through a dense forest that would make it nearly impossible for an average person to reach in less than a day. Even for a highly trained special forces member, it would have taken several hours. But this distance posed no challenge for Ye Fei.
Sprinting through the forest at incredible speed, he soon grew dissatisfied with his pace. Deciding to increase his speed, he launched himself into the air, leaping from branch to branch as if flying above the treetops.
Driven by concern for his aunt, Ye Fei moved as fast as he could, pushing himself to the limit. Within just three minutes, he reached the valley where the signal had been launched.
Perched on a large tree, Ye Fei surveyed the scene below and immediately frowned. Nearly a hundred special forces members, including his aunt Liu Junyi, were pinned down in a narrow valley. More than twenty soldiers had already been killed or injured, and the rest were in a fierce gunfight with terrorists who remained hidden behind trees.
The special forces hadn't managed to hit any of their enemies, and it was clear that they had been ambushed, just like Ye Fei's own team earlier.
From his vantage point, Ye Fei quickly spotted Liu Junyi. She was crouched behind a tree, furiously firing her SMG toward the enemy. Her expression was a mix of frustration and helplessness—despite her exceptional combat skills, she couldn't charge into the fray for close-quarters combat. The terrorists were well-concealed, and she hadn't managed to hit a single one.
Seeing his aunt in such a vulnerable state, Ye Fei's anger flared. Letting out a fierce roar, he drew his two massive swords and charged into the enemy ranks. The scene became chaotic as Ye Fei began cutting through the terrorists like a whirlwind, the blades of his swords gleaming as they sliced through men, trees, and even rocks.
Despite having already killed more than 50 terrorists and destroyed countless obstacles earlier, the swords remained as sharp as ever, with not a scratch on them.
The sudden assault threw both sides into confusion. The terrorists were initially too stunned to react, and it wasn't until Ye Fei had cut down dozens of them that they started firing back. But, just like before, their bullets either missed completely or had no effect when they hit him.
The terrorists were now in full panic, realizing that they were dealing with something far beyond their comprehension.
Meanwhile, the special forces, seeing this unexpected and powerful reinforcement, were equally shocked. Liu Junyi, recognizing the familiar figure slicing through the enemy lines, was astonished. She knew it was her nephew, Ye Fei, and though surprised by his godlike combat prowess, she also felt an overwhelming sense of pride. With renewed energy, she shouted, "Charge forward!
Kill all those bastards!"
The special forces, who had been holding back, sprang into action. Encouraged by the sight of Ye Fei mowing down terrorists with ease, they spread out, surrounding the remaining enemies. Within five minutes, the gunfire ceased, and the woods fell silent.
Ye Fei, still breathing heavily from the fight, realized something strange. After each battle, his strength seemed to grow, as if his skills and abilities were leveling up like in a video game. After killing so many terrorists, he could feel himself getting even stronger. The thought excited him—if he kept improving like this, who knew what new heights he could reach?
But when Ye Fei scanned the area for any potential rewards, like in a game, he was disappointed. There were no special items or treasures—just the equipment the terrorists had been using. He shook his head with a bitter smile, realizing that reality didn't work like a game after all.
As the special forces gathered themselves, those who hadn't yet met Ye Fei looked at him with a mix of awe and disbelief. While the Wanghai Special Forces had heard of his sharpshooting skills, no one had expected him to possess such terrifying combat prowess.
Turning his attention back to his aunt, Ye Fei noticed that instead of celebrating their victory, Liu Junyi was looking down at the fallen soldiers with an expression of deep regret. Her eyes were filled with guilt, and it was clear that she blamed herself for the deaths of her team members.
Ye Fei approached her quietly, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Aunt, don't dwell on it. Let's focus on taking our brothers back, whether they're injured or lost. We can't just leave them here," he said gently.
"You were ambushed too?" Liu Junyi asked, surprised. She thought Ye Fei had been following her all along. "Was anyone hurt?"
"Only Uncle Li and one soldier on patrol," Ye Fei replied solemnly. "Uncle Li was injured because of me. But the others are fine."
Liu Junyi sighed in relief, then asked, "How did you know where we were?"
Ye Fei smiled. "Didn't you see the signal?"
Realization dawned on Liu Junyi. She understood now why Zhang Qiang had launched a different signal flare. Ye Fei had anticipated this and had taken measures to protect her. Warmth filled her heart as she realized how much he cared. A feeling she hadn't felt since her past relationship stirred in her heart again, stronger and more comforting than before.
"Thank you. Xiaoman." Liu Junyi whispered, moving closer to Ye Fei and resting her head against his chest, her arms wrapping around his waist in a tight embrace.
Though Ye Fei had often been hugged by her when he was younger, this time felt different—it carried more meaning.Ye Fei's heart raced. He had never held Liu Junyi like this before. His aunt, who always seemed so strong and invincible, now felt delicate and soft in his arms. His pulse quickened, but he knew this was not the time to dwell on it.
Gently, he returned her embrace, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.Smiling softly, he whispered into her ear, "I'll protect you for the rest of my life, Aunt. There's no need to thank me. We're family."
Liu Junyi didn't respond immediately, only tightening her grip, resting more comfortably in his arms. She felt an overwhelming sense of safety, something she hadn't experienced in years. In the past, she had always been the one protecting others, but now, being cared for by someone so close to her warmed her deeply.
The feeling wasn't just comforting—it was something she hadn't realized she longed for.
"Yeah..." Liu Junyi murmured softly, whether in response to his words or just enjoying the comfort of the moment, even she wasn't sure. All she knew was that, for the first time in a long time, she felt truly at peace. Even though the world around them was still chaotic, in this moment, in his arms, everything felt right.
Ye Fei smiled, feeling the calm settle over them both. He held her close, letting her rest for as long as she needed, promising himself silently that no harm would ever come to her as long as he was there.
