This unexpected move caught Shadow Killer off guard.
The huge courtyard was completely silent, and only the chirping of birds could be heard. The three elders were even more silent. They subconsciously looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief, especially Qu Yihu, who swallowed his saliva.
"This …" Qu Yihu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Of course, Director Qu wasn't any better. He had sympathized with me, but he didn't expect Shadow Killer to pay a heavy price in the blink of an eye. Chief Feng trembled with excitement and cursed, "You're amazing, Xiao Zhuang. You retreated in order to advance. That's f * cking awesome!"
"Retreated in order to advance?!" Qu Yihu muttered to himself with a strange expression.
He hurried over and helped Shadow Killer up.
After taking the punch, Shadow Killer's face was slightly pale, and there was some blood at the corner of his mouth. Just now, I was filled with anger, so I didn't hold back. However, I hit his right chest. If his left chest was hit, even if he didn't die, he would be half-dead.
He stared at me, unable to hide his anger. "Brat, how dare you trick me? You're courting death!"
As soon as he said that, he dashed over like an arrow. He was indeed a master at the late stage of Clear-strength. Shadow Killer was the trump card of the Tiger Head Gang. I had a rough idea. There might not even be a warrior at the Clear-strength stage in Yun City.
No wonder Brother Long panicked when he saw me. Now that I thought about it, it wasn't strange. After all, the strongest person in the Tiger Head Gang was Shadow Killer, and a warrior at the Clear-strength stage could easily defeat him.
It was obvious that the Tiger Head Gang was suspicious. Now that I had entered the Clear-strength stage, with the help of Bajiquan, defeating Qu Yihu would be a piece of cake. However, it was still difficult to deal with Shadow Killer. He had taken a punch from me, so his strength was greatly reduced.
Without a second thought, I pulled out the dart and threw it aside. Then, I clenched my fist, and a strong force swept out. A faint cyclone surrounded my fist. Ying Sha's eyes flashed with astonishment. Perhaps he didn't understand why I had such an amazing change in such a short time. Previously, I hadn't reached the Clear-strength stage, but thanks to him, he had forced me to a dead end. My intense hatred had stimulated my potential and allowed me to cross that hurdle.
Shadow Killer only hesitated for a moment before he braced himself and fought me head-on.
What surprised me was that he ran to the stone bench next to him and easily leaped onto it. Then, he pushed off with one foot and leaped two meters into the air. With a strange arc, he flew towards me. This kind of inertia plus his own destructive power wasn't as simple as one plus one.
Moreover, his leg technique was really sharp. Although I had sharp senses, I could only see afterimages. It seemed he could kick several times in the blink of an eye.
I now understood why he was called Shadow Killer. With this kind of kick speed, it was easy to confuse the enemy and kill them in one hit.
I had no other choice. Soon, he swept over and hit the cyclone in front of my fist. There was a loud "Bang! Bang!" sound as if metal had collided with each other.
What made me happy was that I could basically resist his leg technique. It should be a kind of martial art, but it was of a lower level. It couldn't be compared to Bajiquan.
Due to inertia, his body fell quickly. Before I could take a breath, Shadow Killer bent his body at an angle that defied common sense and kicked me sideways.
He was worthy of being an expert at the later stage of Ming Jing. His combat experience in all aspects was not something I could compare with. I was caught off guard. Fortunately, my reaction speed had increased. I took two steps back, and the tip of his foot was only a few centimeters away from my face. A sharp heat wave hit my face, as if I was warming myself.
Fortunately, I dodged. Otherwise, I might have been disfigured. This kind of battle between experts was too exciting. My blood was boiling. I grabbed his wrist and tried to control him. But then, Shadow Killer had an idea and kicked me with his other leg. It was a tricky attack. His method was very risky. If I went all out, he wouldn't be able to win. However, I was worried that he might have some hidden weapon. If he tried to sneak attack me, all my efforts would be in vain. Thus, I chose to avoid the attack and took a few steps back.
What followed was another storm of attacks. At first, I was at a disadvantage. Shadow Killer was leading me by the nose, but I still had the strength to resist. I was surprised to find that Bajiquan had a special characteristic. It was stronger when it met the strong. When I fought with Qu Yihu just now, I had successfully entered the Clear Jing stage. Even if I met a veteran expert like Shadow Killer, I would still dare to fight him.
The energy and blood in my body flowed crazily. There was only one desire in my heart, and that was to defeat Ying Sha. From a certain perspective, he was at the top of Cloud City's pyramid. Even Qu Yihu had to respect him.
Although I was young, I also desired to reach that level. Just thinking about it made my heart surge.
Plus, he had insulted me and threatened me with my sister-in-law. He said that he would find someone to rape her. His words touched my bottom line. No matter who it was, they couldn't hurt my sister-in-law. Not even the top expert of the Tiger Head Gang!
The more I fought, the braver I became. Although I couldn't avoid some minor injuries, with a few wounds on my body bleeding, it stimulated my fighting spirit. I only felt satisfied, and there was only one word to describe it: awesome!
It was like playing basketball or going to the gym. Once you reached your limit, you wouldn't sweat anymore. From head to toe, you would feel like your hormones were bursting.
Gradually, I gained the upper hand. The lethality of Bajiquan could be said to be terrifying. Since I had just entered the Clear Jing stage, I could release a part of its essence. It wasn't a problem for me to deal with Shadow Killer!
Compared to my fanatical face, Shadow Killer's expression became solemn. I was that kind of person. Even if I couldn't kill him, I would tear off a few pieces of his clothes.
"Brat, stop!" Shadow Killer shouted after pulling away from me.
"Why should I?
Today, I want to decide who's stronger and who's weaker. "
To be honest, I didn't have much confidence. I always felt that Shadow Killer still had a trump card. It was just that he had some concerns. Then, we looked at each other.
"There's no need to fight to the death. That's enough. I quite admire you. To possess such strength at such a young age, you really are a talent worth nurturing. Lord Tiger, when he exchanged blows with you, he really did go easy on you." Shadow Killer revealed a bitter smile.
Qu Yihu's face twitched and he nodded. His forehead was covered in sweat, and he raised his hand to wipe it.
