245: Chapter 245 Injured During the Autumn Harvest
Demon Dog, ranked in the top 20 of the Black List, was indeed a world-class martial artist.
However, Qiu Shou had been through many battles herself, and her individual combat capabilities were no joke.
She quickly exerted power from her waist, her upper body springing up like a drawn bow!
Clasping her hands tightly together like a small hammer, she smashed them heavily onto Demon Dog's head.
But Demon Dog merely grinned; it turned out he had done it on purpose. The hardness of his head was enough to withstand Qiu Shou's full-force strike.
"Hehe, beautiful. I didn't expect to fall for your trap! Is this a honey trap? Then I won't be polite—I'll take everything you're offering!"
With her legs still restricted, Qiu Shou could only rely on her core strength. Ignoring whether she was exposing herself, she attacked with both fists like Wu Song Fighting the Tiger.
However, Wu Song Fighting the Tiger only happened in novels after all.
In reality, Demon Dog's individual combat capability was still significantly higher than Qiu Shou's.
It was likely that even if all four members of the Black Kite were present, they might not necessarily achieve a complete victory over this Samba man.
Qiu Shou felt she had encountered the most troublesome enemy of her life.
However, she wasn't particularly panicked right now; she knew the man in the shadows wouldn't let her be insulted.
Su Nange, who also possessed max-level stealth skills, had already taken advantage of the heat of their battle to quietly find the perfect angle.
He sprinted forward with full force, landing a jab directly on Demon Dog's head.
Demon Dog didn't even have time to be surprised that there was an ambush—even his 'dog nose' hadn't sensed it!
His entire face contorted as he was sent flying by Su Nange's strike.
Qiu Shou finally regained her freedom. The feeling of having no use of her feet was truly unsettling.
Demon Dog massaged his face and slowly stood up.
He actually appeared completely unharmed.
Su Nange was shocked. Was this guy really that powerful? Who exactly was he? It seemed today would definitely be a hard-fought battle!
On the contrary, Demon Dog calmed down at this moment.
He was a professional killer, a top-tier one at that. Although he couldn't control his lower body's urges, it didn't mean his brain was faulty.
He finally realized something was wrong. These two had meticulously planned this to lure him in; they shouldn't be Japanese people from this building.
Then, this wretched couple must be people sent by China. Their purpose was obvious: they were here for that dead young couple.
Su Nange and Qiu Shou exchanged a glance. It was fortunate that Liu Yuan had the foresight to let Su Nange guide the Black Kite.
The two of them shared a decent chemistry now.
Su Nange took the lead in the attack while Qiu Shou provided support.
Su Nange charged straight in.
Samba Jiu-Jitsu? Not only was Su Nange skilled in it, but he was also top-tier.
Thus, for a time, Su Nange and Demon Dog were locked in combat, evenly matched.
Now, Qiu Shou's role finally became apparent.
Although she couldn't deal a fatal blow to Demon Dog, her movements were agile, and she didn't interfere with Su Nange's frontal assault.
Instead, she took advantage of every opening, using her sharp kicking techniques to put immense pressure on Demon Dog.
As one side gained while the other lost, Su Nange began to take the upper hand.
His strength was not inferior to Demon Dog's, and his fighting skills were not weak at all.
Demon Dog's originally confident expression began to turn into one of struggle.
How could this Chinese man and woman be so powerful?
He finally believed Lucifer's words: China really was a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
The hotel rooms of the Japanese were not large to begin with.
Demon Dog was unable to fully utilize his skills and was firmly suppressed.
Defending consumed the most stamina; in perhaps a few dozen more rounds, Demon Dog would be defeated.
Panic finally surfaced in his heart; he was about to pay the price for his actions.
Demon Dog considered himself No. 13, with few rivals left in the world. Consequently, upon arriving in the territory of the yellow race, he had become arrogant and lawless.
Demon Dog took a punch to the abdomen from Su Nange, and his cheek was slashed by Qiu Shou's high heel.
The dignified Black List expert began to show signs of fatigue.
"Are you Chinese police? Why did you set a trap for me today?"
Demon Dog actively retreated, backing into a corner of the room. This way, it was harder for the opponents to extend their strikes, giving him a chance to counter-attack.
Su Nange replied, "Set a trap for you? You killed Chinese citizens. You must face the sanctions of our law!"
Demon Dog grew desperate and shouted, "Bullshit! That happened on the high seas. What the hell does it have to do with China?"
Su Nange and Qiu Shou exchanged a look, then Su Nange turned to Demon Dog: "So, you really were the one who killed them!"
Demon Dog only then realized his mistake and roared in fury, "Fuck! You tricked me!"
Su Nange didn't waste words with him, settling into his stance to launch the final onslaught!
Meanwhile, on the highest floor of the building, Saionji Sawa had already changed into her pajamas and was preparing to rest.
But there was a knock on her door again.
She felt helpless; there were always endless matters to handle.
A man walked in. "Miss Sawa, a fight has broken out downstairs. It's tonight's guest and those two killers."
"Should we intervene?"
Saionji Sawa thought for a moment and smiled slightly. "No need to mind them. In fact, pretend we know nothing! Those two killers are being watched by the Chinese government; they've always been a ticking time bomb."
"Now that we can use Mr. Su's hand to get rid of them for us, we should actually thank him."
The man nodded. "Understood, Miss Sawa!"
Su Nange was like Iori Yagami from KOF, pinning Demon Dog against the edge and beating him until he had no power to fight back.
Some of Su Nange's self-created moves made Demon Dog feel that they were simply impossible to defend against.
Qiu Shou, watching from the side, was also filled with amazement. Where did Young Master Su learn these routines?
Trapped in the corner, Demon Dog could only raise his arms to block.
Su Nange seemed to have infinite stamina, enough to support his storm-like offensive.
But just as Demon Dog's defense was about to be broken...
Su Nange instinctively sensed an extremely dangerous presence.
A loud explosion of gunpowder rang out.
It was a gun!
Fortunately, Su Nange dodged in time, and a nearby vase was blown to pieces by the bullet.
Demon Dog was overjoyed. This was Death Knell's signature weapon: the 'atonement silver coffin'!
Qiu Shou was shocked. When exactly had this tall, brown-haired man arrived at the door?
If that shot just now had been aimed at her, her head would probably be in pieces by now.
Su Nange was also filled with lingering fear. The stealth skills of this group were all quite remarkable.
Death Knell hadn't expected his strike to be dodged. The man who could suppress Demon Dog was indeed not simple.
However, Death Knell had already planned his strategy.
He sprinted at full speed from outside the door, heading straight for Qiu Shou, who was supporting Su Nange.
Realizing the target was her, Qiu Shou set her stance, ready to counter whatever move came her way.
However, Death Knell's strength was even greater than Demon Dog's.
His moves were unadorned, slamming into Qiu Shou like a truck.
The slender Qiu Shou was sent flying, crashing heavily into the balcony glass, which instantly shattered into a floor of icy shards.
Qiu Shou was in a wretched state, her body covered in fine bloody scratches.
But fortunately, it was tempered glass, which helped absorb much of the impact, so Qiu Shou only looked battered.
Su Nange was incredibly distressed, knowing that the battle's momentum had been broken.
He decisively abandoned Demon Dog, whose defense was nearly broken, and rushed to Qiu Shou's side to help her up.
"How are you?"
Qiu Shou's expression seemed alright. "It's nothing serious. That person's strength is just too terrifying!"
The situation was now a 2v2, but it was clear that Su Nange's side was at a disadvantage.
The newly appeared Death Knell not only had a gun, but his strength was also above Demon Dog's.
Su Nange felt a headache coming on. No matter whether he chose to fight Demon Dog or Death Knell now...
The other person might launch a surprise attack on Qiu Shou.
Moreover, Qiu Shou hadn't brought her blades today, and her outfit wasn't suitable for combat. If she were to go head-to-head with such brutal fellows, the outcome was unimaginable.
For the first time, Su Nange found it hard to decide.
But Qiu Shou came from a military background; she had no concept of retreat. She actually stood up on her own, her face full of determination.
Su Nange marveled inwardly; this woman really was charming. His own blood was also ignited. At worst, he would fight two alone! He'd kill the bastards!
However, Death Knell didn't seem interested in continuing the fight. He dragged Demon Dog and ran outside!
Su Nange chased after them, only to find the opponent's speed was not weak at all. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared into the stairwell.
He turned back and said to Qiu Shou, "Let's go back first. This time it's my fault for misjudging them."
"It seems capturing them alive is impossible."
Qiu Shou's arms and legs were covered in bloodstains. Her black stockings had become battle-worn. Yet, her whole being had an indescribable aura that was very attractive.
Su Nange felt she looked a bit like Ada Wong from the games.
Qiu Shou began to comfort Su Nange. "Your plan was fine. It's just that no one could have expected their strength can no longer be judged by normal logic."
"I've fought many people before, but that big guy just now gave me a sense of powerlessness. Who exactly are they?"
Su Nange shook his head. "I don't know. We can only plan again from a long-term perspective."
