Chapter 58 Clean and efficient

In the narrow alley, Yang Yao led Ji Jingqiu closer to an abandoned house deep inside.

Yang Yao stopped in his tracks: “As we agreed earlier, I’ll go up first to draw fire, and you’ll enter from the side to rescue them. Remember, don’t hold back! Holding back will only get you killed!”

Ji Jingqiu nodded; he had already changed into a protective suit.

This was, after all, his first real-world experience. He took several deep breaths and visualized Fire Dwelling Buddhist Prison in his mind. His slightly agitated heart was covered by a thin layer of frost, and the noise and disturbances of the outside world were shut out, restoring his mind to tranquility and profundity.

Using the shadows cast by the wall, Yang Yao moved with light, silent steps, almost blending into the pulse of his surroundings. Power began to gather in every inch of his bones, like a tiger on the hunt, poised to pounce.

Suddenly, the shadow of a gunman appeared on the ground ahead.

Ji Jingqiu witnessed Great Master pounce out like an arrow, gently crushing the other’s neck before landing silently and catching the limp corpse.

“who?!”

Yang Yao’s hunting was almost silent, but the people inside the house still noticed and shouted angrily.

Without a word, Yang Yao dropped the corpse in his hand, and suddenly charged forward, smashing through the wall like a bulldozer, rushing towards the source of the Dao sound.

This instantly stirred up a hornet’s nest.

The already set-up firearms erupted in gunfire.

Ji Jingqiu slipped away, sneaked into the courtyard from behind, jumped, grabbed the windowsill on the third floor, and leaped inside.

The room was empty.

He stood at the doorway, listening intently as several people on the third floor hurried downstairs and then quickly left the house to search for Lou Qinglan.

Soon, he found Lou Qinglan sleeping on the bed in the inner room.

Before he could step forward, a figure suddenly sprang up from the corner!

Ji Jingqiu dodged in time, a light sweat breaking out on her forehead.

As soon as they clashed, Ji Jingqiu realized that his opponent’s physical abilities were superior to his, but far from overwhelming. He was probably at the True Seed level, not yet having developed his internal energy.

Hidden inside the house was a man with a scar on his face and a burly, strong build.

“ Forging the Body?” He grinned maliciously, shifting his weight as he lunged forward, his hands aimed straight for Ji Jingqiu’s vital points on her shoulders and neck.

Ji Jingqiu noticed that the person’s finger joints had thick calluses, indicating that the person had probably practiced boxing for many years.

He used the terrain to maneuver against his opponent several times, demonstrating a strong combination of offense and defense in his core strategy.

The scarred man seized an opportunity, grabbing Ji Jingqiu’s wrist with one hand and using the other to lock her joint. He didn’t use punches, but instead used an unexpected grappling technique.

Ji Jingqiu’s gaze remained calm. Using the opponent’s wrist lock, she twisted and rotated her body, breaking free from the restraints. She then twisted the opponent’s arm behind her back, thus shifting the balance of power.

Divine Tiger Art also includes basic grappling and counter-grappling techniques.

The scarred man roared, leaned forward, broke free of his restraints, spat out a heavy spit, and turned to deliver a powerful punch in return.

From the grappling and turning punch, this punch was extremely abrupt, powerful and heavy, with force surging and the wind from the punch seemed to tear the air apart!

Within this confined space, the punch actually struck Ji Jingqiu. Wu Fa’s illusion of avoidance.

Fortunately, he was prepared for the opponent’s punch. He unleashed his internal strength, forcibly twisted his body, and dodged the punch. Using the force of the twisting and rotating, he seized the opportunity when the scarred man was absorbing the force of the punch and changing his stance, and slammed his right palm into the scarred man’s temple!

The palm strike landed squarely, and Scarface nearly fell over, his mind reeling.

Ji Jingqiu seized the opportunity to attack, forcing the scarred man, who was forced to defend, back into a corner.

At that moment, a man carrying a gun suddenly rushed in through the doorway and fired without any regard for the unconscious girl inside.

Ji Jingqiu’s eyes flashed, she circulated her Qi throughout her body, and with the help of her protective suit, she withstood two shots before smashing the opponent’s Adam’s apple at close range.

However, this brief respite gave the scarred man a chance to catch his breath. He quickly regained his composure and charged forward like a giant bear.

Ji Jingqiu maintained her core position and dealt with him.

Soon, the scarred man, enraged, realized something was wrong.

Ji Jingqiu is not much less agile and fast than him, but his strength is obviously inferior, giving him the advantage in this confined space.

However, the opponent’s offense and defense were too perfectly coordinated, especially the transition between offense and defense, which was almost seamless. Instead, they often seized his openings to counterattack. Even if he deliberately led Ji Jingqiu to attack in order to expose his weaknesses, the latter could quickly return to defense.

This made it very difficult for the scarred man to hit him.

With a loud crash, the ground beneath their feet tilted sharply, and the entire house began to collapse.

The scarred man staggered, his eyes wide with rage. Sure enough, the young man who had never shown any weakness advanced instead of retreating, and threw a punch straight in, slamming it heavily into his temple!

With that punch, the scarred man, his fate unknown, collapsed to the ground.

Ji Jingqiu stepped forward and delivered a follow-up punch, then let out a long sigh, quickly picked up the unconscious girl from the bed, jumped out of the window, and sent a message to Zhang Xingyi at the same time.

After running a dozen meters, he looked back and saw that the house had been smashed down by two inhuman figures fighting. Amidst the swirling dust, the blows were brutal and direct.

The dull, resounding blows of flesh seemed to resonate with the listener, making them feel aches and pains all over.

Wait until the smoke and dust dissipate.

When Ji Jingqiu saw Senior Brother’s muscles bulging, his bones creaked and his tendons taut like a fully drawn bow, a sound like the ringing of bells and the throbbing of tendons!

He took a step, twisted his body, and threw a punch. Amidst the roaring sound like a tiger’s howl, his opponent did not back down either. The two fists collided like battering rams!

In an instant, the two forces clashed like dragon snakes, neither willing to yield. The surging waves rolled like spring thunder, sending bricks, stones, and mud flying and exploding, leveling the ground for dozens of meters!

Ji Jingqiu quickly retreated, inwardly marveling at how incredibly powerful Great Master was.

The power of his martial arts was even more outrageous than he had expected.

He quickly stepped back and handed the unconscious girl to the personnel who had come to provide support.

Zhang Xingyi shook his head, telling him to continue carrying it and that he would take it back later.

Then the group stood together dozens of meters away, witnessing the battle.

“Second brother, aren’t you going to help?”

“The sniper is in position, this True Seed with implants…” ” Martial Artist, regular firepower is completely useless; you need a special sniper rifle to break through his physical body.”

Zhang Xingyi kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, without blinking.

“Besides, I don’t think you, Senior Brother, need any support at all. You didn’t see it, but at the last martial arts tournament, he dominated the Divine Travel martial arts school.”

” Great Master can still keep Divine Travel in check.” “Martial Artist?”

“Youth has an advantage in boxing, and Master Ji Jingqiu’s skill is only at the lower level.” Zhang Xingyi exclaimed, “Don’t be fooled by the fact that there’s only one level difference between the lower and middle levels. They are worlds apart. If the middle level is already like this, I can’t even imagine what the upper level is like.”

Ji Jingqiu deeply agrees.

The battle didn’t last long. Cheng Yan put on brass knuckles, his face fierce, ready to trade his life with Yang Yao.

Seeing that Cheng Yan had abandoned the grappling technique and turned to a desperate fighting style, Yang Yao remained calm and chose to take the punch head-on. He grabbed Cheng Yan by the neck, lifted him up, and with a surge of strength, slammed him hard to the ground!

With a loud crash, a large crack appeared in the ground.

The sound of bones shattering rang out clearly.

Yang Yao knew exactly how to deal with these implanted Martial Artists. He seized the opportunity and used forceful vibrations to temporarily disrupt the implants’ operation.

This attack left Cheng Yan completely numb, and the implant in his body also malfunctioned, leaving him almost unable to move. His strength was also completely suppressed by Yang Yao.

But this man was, after all, a Martial Artist who had fought his way up from the bottom. He held back his anger and stubbornly refused to fall. He slowly raised his head, seized the opportunity, and punched Yang Yao in the chest with all his might.

This punch was slow; it was a desperate counterattack before death.

Yang Yao did not dodge, but instead used his strength to suppress him, calmly lifted him up, and slammed him hard to the ground again.

Once again, bricks and soil flew everywhere, and ripples carrying dust and ash spread outwards.

This time, Cheng Yan was unable to raise his head again. His head drooped, his body went limp, and he fell completely silent.
