144: That kick took over a decade to master; I wonder if you can withstand it.

Geng Long, over 1.8 meters tall and built like an ox, was sent flying three to four meters by Qin Shou's headbutt, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood and collapsing heavily to the ground.

After several bloody clashes with Geng Long, Qin Shou realized that the secular world's boxing techniques previously rewarded by the system were fine for beating up petty thugs, but when facing true masters, it was entirely about combat experience; those flashy moves were useless, and every strike was a deadly blow.

Just as Qin Shou had knocked Geng Long away and before he could catch his breath, Gu Ling from behind had already kicked towards Qin Shou's back; Qin Shou hadn't even turned around yet but already felt a gust of wind.

"Damn it! Athlete's foot!"

Qin Shou's heart tightened; he dared not be slow. Unable to turn around in time, he could only twist his body to dodge Gu Ling's sneak attack from behind.

At the same time, Qin Shou, disregarding the pain in his palm, grabbed Gu Ling's calf.

Gu Ling had not expected Qin Shou's reaction to be so agile; he had just been fighting fiercely with Geng Long, yet now he could react, dodge her sneak attack, and even counter-attack.

Actually, what Gu Ling didn't know was that Qin Shou cultivated immortal techniques.

Compared to ordinary martial artists, besides improvements in strength, speed, and agility, Qin Shou's senses and reaction speed were also greatly enhanced, which was why he could react in time.

With her right leg caught by Qin Shou, Gu Ling originally planned to push off the ground with her left leg and use the momentum for a spinning kick.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shou, holding her calf, suddenly pulled it hard. Gu Ling instantly lost her balance and did a full split on the spot.

Qin Shou only heard a tearing sound; her crotch, damn it, had split open, revealing her pink underwear.

In his haste, to anger Gu Ling and make her lose her composure, Qin Shou didn't forget to intentionally give a wicked, charming smile and glance twice, seeing a pink Mickey Mouse pattern embroidered on it.

At the same time, Qin Shou's hands weren't idle; he directly pulled off Gu Ling's shoe, and immediately, a pungent, stinky odor of athlete's foot assailed his nostrils.

Qin Shou had no time to savor it at the moment; he grabbed Gu Ling's sole and began to scratch vigorously.

Indeed, Qin Shou's actions immediately made Gu Ling both furious and embarrassed, yet also laugh so hard she was doubled over. She thought, 'This person is so shameless; even at the brink of life and death, he still has such thoughts.'

Gu Ling's foot sole was restrained by Qin Shou, but her hands were not. In her shame and anger, Gu Ling no longer cared about any rules; with a flick of her hand, Qin Shou saw more than a dozen silver needles flying towards him.

Fortunately, Qin Shou was prepared, knowing that in her shame and anger, she would inevitably do something like this. He had already rolled away in advance, dodging them.

"Ah—!"

As Qin Shou just got up, he heard a scream. Qin Shou looked closely and saw Geng Long, who had just managed to stand up with difficulty and was preparing to ambush him from behind, was struck in the face by a handful of flying needles directly thrown by Gu Ling, instantly turning into a porcupine.

It was just a pity that Gu Ling's movements in her shame and anger were not precise enough, and combined with being tickled by Qin Shou, she felt soft and weak all over, resulting in the thrown handful of flying needles not having much power. Although they caused Geng Long immense pain, they didn't cause any significant damage; it was the kind that looked intimidating, as if a big move had been unleashed, but upon inspection, the opponent hadn't lost much health.

Qin Shou thought to himself, 'Fortunately, these two have no coordination with each other; they're pure pig teammates. One plus one is even less than one, otherwise, I would have been in trouble today. If these two had come one by one, Geng Long alone would have been enough to give me a hard time.'

Seeing Geng Long in pain, Qin Shou wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. This person was truly too ruthless; he absolutely couldn't be allowed to recover, so Qin Shou aimed a fierce kick at Geng Long.

But Qin Shou still underestimated Geng Long. Although he was in pain, his mind was highly focused. Seeing Qin Shou's kick coming, he thrust the steel needle in his hand towards Qin Shou's sole.

If that hit squarely, Qin Shou's sole would likely have a large hole instantly, just like his right hand.

But the big man underestimated Qin Shou's learning ability. Qin Shou learned from his mistakes; how could he not know that the big man had a steel needle in his hand? His foot, halfway through the kick, stopped dead in mid-air, but Qin Shou's shoe flew off his foot and, using inertia, attacked the big man.

The big man sneered, seeing the steel needle in his hand instantly penetrate Qin Shou's sole. Upon closer inspection, however, he realized it was Qin Shou's shoe.

The big man never expected Qin Shou to feign an attack and use such a despicable tactic, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then, the big man suddenly caught an incredibly foul odor of athlete's foot, and his face instantly darkened, gagging from the stench.

This athlete's foot attack was something Qin Shou had suddenly thought of in a flash of inspiration when he was taking off Gu Ling's shoe earlier.

Qin Shou thought, 'Since physical attacks aren't effective against you, I'll hit you with a biochemical weapon. I was on the university soccer team when I was in college; this Hong Kong foot technique has more than a decade of history. I'm just asking if you can withstand it.'

Qin Shou's move was a continuous killing blow; the flying shoe and athlete's foot attack weren't the end. Then, Qin Shou suddenly changed his stance, executing a high kick.

Geng Long, dizzy and disoriented from Qin Shou's athlete's foot stench, hadn't yet recovered when he suddenly saw Qin Shou, barefoot, aiming directly for his face, and his toenails were even gray, damn it.

Geng Long was greatly alarmed. 'Who can withstand a biochemical weapon in close combat?' Geng Long strained with all his might to tilt his head back, trying to dodge Qin Shou's high kick aimed directly at his face.

However, Qin Shou's rapid combo was as fast as lightning, and Geng Long was currently muddled from the stench, reacting half a beat too slow. In his haste to look up, he originally wanted to dodge completely, but still didn't fully succeed. Qin Shou grazed him, and by an unfortunate coincidence, Qin Shou's gray big toe directly poked into Geng Long's nose.

The athlete's foot odor went straight to his brain. Instantly, various fungi like Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and Candida albicans surged into his nostrils. Geng Long, a top assassin who had been hunted by the military for years without being caught, now found his vision blackening, and he passed out from the stench.

Qin Shou saw Geng Long fall straight down, his eyes rolling back, foaming at the mouth, his body twitching a few times before becoming still. Qin Shou estimated that having been hit by his biochemical weapon, he probably wouldn't be getting up anytime soon.

Just as Qin Shou finished dealing with Geng Long, he suddenly heard Ling'er exclaim in his mind, "Master, be careful."

Although Qin Shou didn't know what it was, even without time to turn around, Qin Shou immediately dodged, and sure enough, he heard a "bang" as a gun fired.
