Chapter 06: The Battle of Life and Death

Sun Zele sneered and fired a shot at the flying dagger that was coming his way

Teng Qingshan suddenly crouched down without any warning, his feet forcefully pushing off the ground. With both hands grabbing the earth, he leaped forward like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, covering nearly ten meters in a single bound, delivering a powerful punch towards Sun Ze

Teng Qingshan's abdomen instantly softened like cotton. The moment the bullet struck his abdomen, a powerful internal force was released, dissipating seven parts of the bullet's impact. Simultaneously, the muscles tensed up like steel plates, effectively trapping the bullet's tip, which was then expelled by the muscles. Teng Qingshan himself resembled a steel plank, with both hands pressed against the ground, his entire body twisting like a swimming dragon, suddenly darting to the side.

What they just said seemed to be in consideration of Teng Qingshan. However, in reality, they aimed to influence Teng Qingshan's will. If Teng Qingshan were to commit suicide, that would be the best outcome for them. In this way, the two of them could accomplish their task effortlessly. However, if it were a genuine life-and-death battle, even if they could kill Teng Qingshan, they would likely sustain injuries.

He was originally less than ten meters away from Teng Qingshan. As Teng Qingshan threw the flying knife, he immediately fired his gun. When the flying knife shattered, it was only about two meters away from him.

Dolgothrov distinctly felt a peculiar force transmitting through his gloves, causing his entire right arm to involuntarily twist, producing a subtle cracking sound. Dolgothrov's expression changed; fortunately, he had achieved a high level in ancient yoga techniques, managing to withstand this spiraling force: "If my strength were a bit weaker, my arm might have been broken! As it stands, my right fist can probably only exert eighty percent of its power."

This Russian strongman was indeed struck by a flying knife while on the rooftop. However, both of them were already aware of Teng Qingshan's exceptional knife-throwing skills. Therefore, they had both donned specially designed outfits with strong defensive capabilities for this occasion. Just now, after a flying knife pierced through the clothing, its power had already diminished significantly. The fragmentary machine, Dolgotorov, easily pinched the blade of the flying knife with his muscles and squeezed it out.

"Wolf, let him accompany the monkey to the grave!" Dolgorukov, the Russian giant, had a faint red glow in his eyes, resembling an angry lion that began to growl softly. Within his line of sight, the black uniform of this Russian giant suddenly swelled up, and this strong killing machine kicked off the ground.

The greatest threat is the sharpshooter Sun Ze; he must be killed for me to have a chance of survival

"No—" Sun Ze's expression changed dramatically

A strange sound echoed as the right arm unexpectedly swelled to size 1

Dorgotov's massive fist, accompanied by a trace of residual shadow, collided with Teng Qingshan's fist

Not good

Just as the flying knife was about to collide with the bullet, without any object touching the knife, it bizarrely shattered into seven or eight pieces of iron. The trajectories of these shattered steel fragments slightly altered, yet they still shot towards Sun Ze at an extremely high speed. The bullet, of course, missed its target.

The veins bulged, as if about to burst, with each muscle resembling the rebound of beef tendons, generating a powerful spiral force. The right fist moved like a rotating electric drill, producing a sharp whistling sound

Hmph— that Russian giant, Dolgothrov, let out a low growl, and with his metal-gloved right fist, he struck fiercely at the flying knife

Pung!

When it comes to marksmanship, Sun Tzu can undoubtedly rank among the top ten in the world. Hitting a flying knife with a single shot is a very easy task for him

"Underestimating oneself." Sun Ze couldn't help but let out a sneer, yet his gaze grew even colder.

With both feet continuously striking the ground, it was as if a giant was trampling, causing the cement floor to crack incessantly. Teng Qingshan appeared fierce, yet his form was as graceful as a swimming dragon. His left palm was positioned horizontally in front of him, while his right fist struck out like a dragon emerging from the water, with his waist as the pivot, concentrating all his strength instantaneously in his right arm

Not far away, a faint cold smile appeared on Sun Ze's face

Haha... the Russian giant laughed heartily and charged towards Teng Qingshan

The cement floor trembled, cracking open as if a heavy-duty truck were rushing by at high speed

Puff. Another bullet, Teng Qingshan was unable to dodge, and beside him, the terrifying monster known as the 'Shredder' Dolgotelev was attacking.

One of the S-rank assassins in the dark world, the Bagua Palm master—'Sharpshooter' Sun Ze, has met his demise

At the moment of the fist clash, Teng Qingshan was propelled backward by the force, and "Haha..." Dolgotrov let out a maniacal laugh, showing no hesitation as he swiftly pursued.

Although Teng Qingshan did not understand why, in that state of mind, there could be a slight connection to the 'internal strength' in the flying knife technique, he nonetheless remembered that state and this move. He also named this move 'A Moment of Gloomy Blade'

With this slight connection, one can completely control when the flying knife shatters

Ah! The monster Dolgortrov leaped up, raising his right fist clad in a metal gauntlet high, and then, with immense force, like a cannonball fired at high speed, he struck fiercely towards Teng Qingshan

The handgun bullets are even more cunning and ruthless

A flying dagger shot forth, and as it approached the enemy, it suddenly shattered into several pieces of shrapnel. There was no time to react. For someone like Sun Ze, at a mere two meters distance, it was impossible to respond, and he was pierced through the head.

At this moment, Teng Qingshan turned his body next to the peach tree in the courtyard, each hand grasping a flying knife. His gaze became dim and sorrowful, and simultaneously, the two flying knives were released, each tracing a cold trajectory as they pierced through the air, aimed at Sun Ze and Dolgotrov.

Puff! '' Puff! '' Puff! ''

"Haha, this is great!" Teng Qingshan laughed heartily, not retreating but instead stepping forward to meet it.

scoff

Absolute killing move

Dolgortrov is not feeling well, and Teng Qingshan's situation is even worse

Teng Qingshan's gaze was cold and deep, concealing a hint of sorrow. The internal energy infused within the two flying daggers was astonishingly subtle, resonating with a certain connection to Teng Qingshan's state of mind

In the realm of powerful figures within the books, this face is generally the area with the lowest defense, unless one reaches the master level, where there are no weaknesses throughout the body. For instance, Sun Ze, who has not yet attained the master level, is undoubtedly doomed.

You, you..." The Russian giant looked at his partner, who had already died, and stared in shock at Teng Qingshan

Teng Qingshan looked at the Russian giant and felt a sense of relief in his heart

Three fragments of the flying knife pierced directly through Sun Ze's face, emerging from the back of his skull

Pong. The Russian giant Dolgothrov encountered the same peril, but he was much luckier, as he used his right fist to block the flying knives, while his left fist was instinctively raised to protect his face. When two shards from the shattered knives shot towards his face, he easily blocked them with his gloved left hand.

"Monkey, this wolf is seeking death; let us fulfill his wish." This Russian giant, Dolgothrov, spoke Chinese fluently.

At the moment the opponent raised the gun, Teng Qingshan immediately twisted his body, like a venomous snake, and forcefully leaped sideways.

Teng Qingshan finally revealed a hint of a smile on his face

"Monkey, monkey..." Dolgortrov looked at Sun Ze's corpse, "How could the flying knife break?"

My speed and agility are inferior to that of Sun Ze; I cannot catch up to him, yet he can continuously attack me. Additionally, there is this Shattered Body Machine, Dolgothrov... If I react even slightly slower, it will be the end for me. I only have one chance! Teng Qingshan understood this deep down

On the agility of close combat postures, among the three major internal martial arts, Baguazhang is regarded as the foremost. Baguazhang is characterized by the principles of 'one walking, two observing, three sitting, four flipping.' The first principle, 'walking,' is the most fundamental. The master-level practitioner of Baguazhang, Sun Ze, moves like a swimming dragon, as swift as lightning, and as graceful as the wind

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, the marksman Sun Ze slightly curled the corner of his mouth, and then he moved. This movement was like a wisp of illusion gracefully encircling from one side, while the silver pistol in his hand emitted a faint sound that was almost inaudible

During the fierce battle within the red organization's base, I found myself fighting against numerous assassins alone, my fists unable to withstand their overwhelming numbers. Just as I was about to be overwhelmed and face death, on the brink of life and death, in a state of despair and gloom, I unexpectedly discovered that in that special mental state, under a unique perception of the surrounding world, there was a strange connection between my inner strength and the flying daggers being thrown.

The agility of Baguazhang, combined with the power of modern firearms, is indeed quite formidable

Pung!

Puff! ''

A flying knife, inexplicably shattering on its own

"This Dolgothrov, I struck him with a knife, yet it had little effect." Teng Qingshan glanced at the Russian strongman, "He and Sun Ze are both wearing black uniforms, which should possess strong defensive capabilities."

Uh... Sun Ze's eyes still held disbelief, but soon they dimmed and lost their luster, and he collapsed to the ground.

At a distance of two meters, with the speed at which the flying knife fragments were shot, this sudden change meant that Sun Ze's nerves had only just begun to react when the knife fragments were already in front of his eyes
