With his right hand, he slapped open the inside of the opponent's wrist, while at the same time, his left fist, like a bullet fired from an air gun, struck the opponent's face, producing a cold and crisp sound.
"Good application of force."
The middle-aged man uttered his first words since he appeared on stage.
The voice wasn't particularly distinctive either.
It's the kind of thing you can see everywhere.
However, unlike others,
He spoke while Yato's straight punch had struck his face, distorting his features.
"Your skin is unusually thick."
"Yato said coldly."
His expression was extremely grave.
Chapter 29
Yato has seen plenty of shameless people.
But this is the first one that can withstand such a beating.
His Jeet Kune Do skills may seem to be only LV4, but this is calculated based on the inclusion of all Jeet Kune Do techniques. Some people may be less proficient in one technique and more proficient in another, but he is not like that. He knows them all, and his proficiency is only higher.
To put it bluntly, it means that the lower limit is higher than the lower limit of a normal LV4 Jeet Kune Do skill holder.
Therefore, each advancement brings him a profound and enlightening experience.
With 80% force and near-perfect execution, he landed a straight punch on his opponent's face, but it only caused the capillaries in the opponent's nasal cavity to rupture, resulting in a little nosebleed.
Not even a bruise remained.
As Ye Dou moved nimbly, creating distance between himself and the middle-aged man, he couldn't resist activating the system's detection function to check the other party's attributes.
Name: Wu Hori
Title: Ghost Ox
Bloodline: Wu's bloodline
Skills: Liberation LV6, Wu Martial Arts LV5
力量 （5.5）、敏捷3.5（4）、体质4.5（4.0）总和12.1（14）”
……
Upon seeing these figures, Yato's eyes began to twitch.
Was it really necessary? To kill him, they actually deployed three elite members.
One of them was a veteran powerhouse.
The liberation rate of LV6 means that it has reached more than 60%.
How many people like this are there in the Wu clan?
Other secret techniques will not be mentioned for now.
What on earth is this attribute?
Although the Wu clan are born with superb physical abilities, it's a bit outrageous that a person in their forties or fifties would have a total of 12 points in their normal three-dimensional attributes.
She was a full three points taller than him!
After liberation, it became 14 points.
This physical ability has created a complete dominance.
Agility, strength, and physique—none of them gave them an advantage.
Although there are many factors involved in combat, attributes are only one of the more crucial ones, but they are not absolute.
However, the gap is more than 3 points.
This means that he has an extra attribute.
Yato had no doubt that even without using the myriad secret techniques passed down through the Go clan, his opponent could pose a huge threat to him with just basic fighting skills!
Just like in the original work, there was a battle between Wu Lei'an and the protagonist, Wang Ma.
Without using any secret techniques, he overwhelmed Ohma with his physical strength alone, forcing Ohma to unleash his full potential and exhaust a large amount of his life force in order to barely win.
Yato even suspected that if it weren't for the excessive exertion in this match, Ohma might have been able to defeat Kuroki in the final.
Although Wu Horio might not be as strong as Wu Lei'an, they are the same to me, and Wu Horio might even be more difficult to deal with.
After all, Wu Horio wasn't that crazy. Not only was he calm and composed, but his knowledge, willpower, experience, and skill level all demonstrated the advantages of being an older person.
This means that most tactics can be seen through by the opponent at a glance and then used against them.
This kind of opponent, who is both terrifyingly strong and surprisingly composed, is the last person Yato wants to encounter.
The win rate is too low!
"Do you want to retreat?"
Yato discreetly observed his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.
Then, speechlessly, they discovered that Wu Fengshui and Wu Bianzao had somehow managed to move to either side of the alley, each blocking one side. Clearly, they had considered the possibility of him running away if things went wrong and had taken that into account, thus preventing him from doing so.
Although even with their strength, they wouldn't be a match for him if they activated [Liberation], if they could only hold him off for a second or two, Wu Horio would catch up, and then he would be caught in a pincer attack, making the situation even worse.
The only thing that hasn't been blocked yet is that unfinished building.
Yato's eyes gleamed.
With a swift movement, he rushed into the unfinished building.
"That guy is probably going to be disappointed; there's no way out from there."
Seeing this, Wu Fengshui gloated.
“No, that kid’s kicking skills are amazing. He might be able to clear a path where others can’t.” Wu Hori Xiong disagreed with Wu Fengshui’s judgment. As he stepped into the unfinished building, he instructed, “You two continue to guard outside. No matter what happens, don’t come in, lest you become their breakthrough point.”
"Understood." Wu Bianzao nodded readily. The feeling of relying on a big shot was too comfortable. Fortunately, they met Uncle Horio on the way out, who was doing business nearby. They thought they would go back to [Kureno Village] together after completing this mission. That's why Wu Horio came along. Otherwise, the two of them alone would have really messed up.
"By the way, Uncle Horio, be careful not to kill anyone, or we won't be able to explain it to our employer!"
Suddenly remembering something, Wu Bianzao hurriedly reminded him.
Wu Horio waved his hand without turning his head, indicating that he knew his limits, and his bear-like, majestic body disappeared into the shadows.
"Really."
After everyone left, Wu Fengshui couldn't help but complain.
"If it were a proper sniping mission, they would have taken him out with one shot long ago. Why would they have to get so close and use rubber bullets? He almost lost his life."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. This time, the employer knows Grandpa, so he specially sent the two of us. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been wiped out by now."
Wu Bianzao put his hands on his head and comforted him.
"That's true. By the way, how long will it take Uncle Horio to take down that bastard?"
Wu Fengshui snorted softly and asked curiously.
"Three to five minutes, I guess," Wu Bianzao said after thinking for a moment. "How long exactly depends on how fast the other party runs. After all, he should have realized that he is no match for Horio-san in a head-on confrontation."
Wu Fengshui's mind raced, and he thought of something amusing, chuckling as he said:
"Speaking of which, that guy doesn't seem to know our purpose yet. He seems to really be treating us as assassins. In other words, when Uncle Horio actually catches him, he'll be in a lot of despair."
"...You should think more about how to make yourself stronger. Although your liberation rate is higher than mine, your hand-to-hand combat skills are really terrible. I wouldn't believe you're from the Wu clan if I told anyone."
Wu Bianzao said helplessly.
"That's why I've been practicing dagger techniques!"
Wu Fengshui muttered to himself.
After saying that, she turned her head away, seemingly not wanting to talk to this guy who only 'bullied' his sister anymore.
Wu Bianzao shrugged, indicating that whatever makes you happy.
They also focused their attention on the unfinished buildings.
Although the possibility is extremely low, we should still be prepared to intercept the other party if they try to escape.
……
The unfinished building was pitch black.
The only light source came from the distant neon lights.
The unpainted walls are cold, hard, and rough.
Sometimes you can still see exposed steel bars.
Yato's speed is even more exaggerated than that of a track and field athlete; it wouldn't be surprising if he were mistaken for a ghost at night.
He rushed up to the fifth floor in one breath.
It is also the top floor of the unfinished building.
He had previously made a rough observation and found that there was a high wall behind the building. The only way to escape from here was to take advantage of the building's height.
Although it's a bit dangerous, given his lower body skills, as long as he finds a good landing spot, nothing unexpected will happen.
However, when Yato arrived on the fifth floor, he realized that his judgment was wrong.
That wasn't a high wall at all.
Instead, it's a taller building right next to the unfinished building.
"****!" Yato blurted out an American slang term.
But he didn't give up.
Since it's a building, it must have windows.
Just as he was trying to find the 'entrance', Wu Horio caught up with him.
3D technology truly doesn't lie.
Even though they were delayed outside for a while, their speed was not slow at all.
The timing was also perfect.
He truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran expert from the assassin clan.
"call……"
Yato took a deep breath, turned around, and faced the approaching giant black shadow.
Of course, this is just a psychological illusion.
However, the immense pressure is undeniable.
"Come on, kid, your only way out is behind me."
Wu Hori is the type of person who is taciturn.
Every word carried a sense of heaviness, but to the enemy standing before him, this heaviness was like an echo of a shout in a valley, an invisible pressure sweeping in from all directions, which he could only passively endure.
"I think so too."
Yato squinted his eyes and silently adjusted his breathing.
Raise your hand to lift the bangs from your forehead and comb them back to avoid obstructing your vision during combat.
His eyes, filled with chilling killing intent, stared directly at his opponent.
At this moment, he had temporarily abandoned the idea of escaping.
Because he knew that fighting with this mindset was tantamount to suicide.
