Chapter 642: 641 Unstoppable Chapter 642: 641 Unstoppable On one side, Atkins believed that Li Wei was bluffing, so he opted for a retaliatory strike.
On the other side, Li Wei also thought that Atkins was bluffing, so he decided to lure him into a trap.
Li Wei, going with the flow, obliged Atkins’ wish by initiating first, yet he closely watched Atkins’ movement details, especially his knees and shoulders, after accurately judging Atkins’ grappling tendency—
Brake.
Halt.
In just a short moment, waiting for Atkins to make a grappling move, Li Wei pushed off with his left leg, maintaining a light and agile body as he spun counterclockwise, circling three hundred and sixty degrees around Atkins’ left arm.
Atkins was startled: He had actually missed!
Really!
...
With no time for annoyance or anger, he instinctively tried to react again to catch up, but then he found that Li Wei’s body relied completely on his own, simply using Atkins as a pivot to complete the turn, with his strength and body solidly pinned against Atkins, trapping him in place.
Atkins couldn’t move.
His clumsy and heavy body was always one beat slower than Li Wei.
Atkins awkwardly and disgracefully turned his head, noticing that even though Li Wei was close on him, he was helpless and couldn’t even use his body as a weapon to throw himself at Li Wei to disrupt his center of gravity.
Then, Atkins saw those eyes in Li Wei’s helmet.
Clear, bright, with a hint of a smile.
Atkins: ???
The next second, that smile skillfully slipped out of sight, vanishing like a wisp of smoke.
That posture, that motion, done so effortlessly, seemed to convey:
Wait, was someone just trying to guard me?
Atkins was about to spew out a mouthful of old blood stuck in his chest, but before he could, the body that had been pressing down and relying on itself simply couldn’t hold up anymore and charged out fiercely, hitting the turf.
On the side of the field, Lewis got so choked up he nearly couldn’t catch his breath: Damn!
Stop him!
Hurry up and stop that damn guy!
“Breakthrough!”
“Starting up!”
“Wow, Li Wei’s lightness and agility make Atkins look like a lifeless wooden stake, effortlessly completing the escape and continued advance.”
“Outside Linebacker Nick Vigil is trying to grapple.”
“Straight Arm Block!”
“Li Wei resists Vigil’s attempt to grapple, and the two get entwined together, with Cornerback Williams Jackson rushing over quickly to assist.”
“Beautiful!”
“Li Wei brakes, breaking free from the tangle, and with a Straight Arm Block, he shoves Vigil away.”
“Vigil loses balance, tumbling forward out of Li Wei’s path.”
“Terrible!”
“Jackson brakes too late, and Vigil collides head-on with his teammate.
When Bates came crashing in again, their positions shifted, shoulders colliding, converting the intersecting forces into a whirlpool.
Bates: Damn it!
Still immersed in his own joy, Bates realized something was wrong.
Indeed, Li Wei spun around, using his left shoulder to deflect the momentum of Bates’s charge and stepping out of his trajectory, his feet already darting toward the sideline.
Then came the acceleration, the sprint.
Bates’s heart clutched tightly, no time for panic or fear, following instantly, pushing his speed to the limit without any reservation.
In the Rookie Training Camp, Bates had impressed scouts with his short burst of acceleration within ten yards, and now he was showcasing his specialty.
He was getting closer.
Even closer!
Jersey number twenty-three, within arm’s reach.
“Edgerunner!”
“God, Li Wei!
Li Wei!
Li Wei!
The Edgerunner shines again at Arrowhead Stadium!”
“Bates, just a bit more, just a tiny bit, a half a palm’s distance, he almost touched Li Wei’s shoulder, but he was still one step behind.”
“In just three to five steps, Li Wei had already made the adjustments, not only regaining his balance but also accelerating without any reservations.”
“Bates had given it his all, but the speed of Li Wei was truly astonishing.”
Bates: Argh, agh, aghhh!
Speed, power, all burst forth, yet he could still see the once reachable distance pulling away again before his eyes, visibly expanding.
Li Wei’s footsteps dazzled along the sideline, the tips of his shoes continuously pounding the ground, picking up speed with each stride, a tumultuous surge lifting off the right sideline, swiftly engulfing Bates, Vigil, and Jackson—
Leaving them in the dust.
“Twenty yards!”
“Twenty-five yards!”
“Thirty yards!”
“End zone, touchdown!”
“No one can stop Li Wei, no one!
Once he’s at full speed, it’s a nightmare for the opposition, a nightmare of despair!”
“The Edgerunner completes a thirty-three-yard breakaway run for a touchdown, claiming the first score for the Kansas City Chiefs in the game’s opening offensive drive!”
“It seems the Kansas City Chiefs are completely unaffected by the previous game’s outcome.”
Boom!
The entire Arrowhead Stadium instantly turned into a red ocean, a volcanic eruption, with familiar chants soaring through the skies, stirring up a rolling heatwave.
“He’s here, he’s there, he’s everywhere, he is the Edgerunner, Li Wei Li Wei Li Wei!”
