37: Man in black

After sending Xu Nanqin back to her dorm, Qin Shou planned to return directly to his rented small house.

During this period, Qin Shou would occasionally stay at Yan Yourong's villa for a few days, enjoying sweet times with the mature beautiful woman, but due to his busy filming schedule, he did not go to the villa as frequently as before.

Of course, the main reason was that Yan Yourong really couldn't handle Qin Shou's overly powerful combat strength.

During this time, she felt like her body was about to be hollowed out and she really couldn't bear it, so naturally, she didn't actively contact Qin Shou as frequently as before.

She even often whispered in his ear, urging Qin Shou to quickly win over her two good sisters, which would also help her share some "pressure" and allow her to catch her breath.

Qin Shou returned to the front of his humble rented house, took out the key from his pocket, and was about to open the door.

"Are you Qin Shou?"

A somewhat hoarse, low voice suddenly sounded beside him.

Hearing the voice, Qin Shou immediately raised his head vigilantly and looked in the direction of the sound.

Beside him, a tall, mysteriously dressed Man in Black had appeared at some point. He was wearing a dark, long trench coat, a low-brimmed black hat, and large sunglasses that almost covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his true features.

Qin Shou rented an apartment, and the long corridor had been completely empty just now. Qin Shou had no idea when or from where this person had suddenly appeared.

Moreover, the corridor lights were dim, and this Man in Black was wearing sunglasses, exuding an inexplicable strangeness from head to toe.

Qin Shou's height was a good 1.83 meters, which was considered quite tall among ordinary people, but this Man in Black stood about a head taller than him, estimated to be at least 1.9 meters.

Furthermore, this Man in Black was not only tall but also very burly and strong, with broad shoulders and a powerful physique, exuding a strong sense of oppression that made Qin Shou feel a strange unease.

"Who are you? Is there something you need?"

Qin Shou's brows furrowed slightly, his muscles instinctively tensed, and he subconsciously took a step back, creating a bit of distance from the mysterious Man in Black.

"Then it's correct."

Suddenly, a cold light flashed! The Man in Black had a sharp short blade in his hand at some point and, without any warning, suddenly attacked with lightning speed, stabbing fiercely towards Qin Shou's waist. The move was vicious and aimed directly at a vital point!

"Holy crap!"

Qin Shou was startled and terrified, never expecting the other party to act so decisively and violently, even using a knife!

Fortunately, he was prepared and reacted quickly enough, his body agile enough to swiftly dodge to the side at the critical moment, barely avoiding the fatal stab.

After dodging the attack, Qin Shou immediately counterattacked, grabbing the Man in Black's right wrist, which held the knife, intending to disarm him with a "bare-handed disarm" move.

But Qin Shou clearly underestimated the Man in Black's strength. As soon as he grabbed the Man in Black's right hand, the Man in Black quickly raised his left hand, and with a whooshing sound, a powerful punch came crashing towards Qin Shou's face!

The punch came with great force and speed, clearly the result of professional training.

Qin Shou dared not meet it head-on, so he kicked out, striking first with a powerful kick aimed at the Man in Black's abdomen.

Using the recoil, Qin Shou instantly created distance from the Man in Black, narrowly dodging the formidable punch.

However, what Qin Shou never expected was that the Man in Black, who had taken a solid kick to the abdomen, acted as if nothing had happened, merely retreating a few steps before quickly regaining his balance, without even a hint of pain on his face.

Qin Shou's pupils suddenly contracted. He was very clear about the force of his kick just now; he possessed the strength of peak-era boxing champion Mike Tyson. If an ordinary person took that kick, even if they didn't die, they would be seriously injured and unable to get up, with internal bleeding being a minor injury.

Yet, this person in front of him was completely unharmed, as if that kick had merely tickled him. His physique was simply monstrous!

The burly Man in Black was also a bit surprised. He looked down at his abdomen, then looked up at Qin Shou, a hint of surprise in his hoarse voice, and snorted coldly, saying:

"Interesting, you've got some skills. No wonder you were able to save that woman from them."

"That woman?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou immediately understood. It seemed this Man in Black and the assassins who chased Ren Jing on the highway that day were definitely from the same group!

However, those assassins had guns, while this person only had a short blade. Qin Shou knew that if the other party had a gun, he would probably be in serious trouble today and definitely not an opponent.

Thinking of this, Qin Shou secretly felt lucky.

After saying this, the Man in Black again gripped his short blade, and with a movement of his body, like a ghost, he rushed towards Qin Shou. The short blade in his hand transformed into streaks of cold light, continuously thrusting at Qin Shou, each move deadly!

Despite the burly and tall physique of this Man in Black, his movements were exceptionally agile and fast, completely unlike the flexibility expected of someone of such a large build.

Fortunately, Qin Shou's skills were also not weak, and with his keen reactions and flexible footwork, he repeatedly and narrowly dodged the Man in Black's attacks.

But even so, Qin Shou was still inevitably injured; his right arm was cut by the short blade, and blood instantly soaked his sleeve.

In fact, if it came down to hand-to-hand combat, Qin Shou could clearly feel that his skills were definitely superior to this Man in Black's.

But what astonished Qin Shou was that he landed several heavy punches on the Man in Black, yet it was like hitting a thick wall; the other party showed no reaction at all, not even a frown!

This terrifying resistance to blows was even more absurd than that of a heavyweight professional boxer! Qin Shou even suspected that the other party might have practiced some kind of Qigong.

Qin Shou was not a fool; he knew that continuing to fight like this would be of no benefit to him and would only become more dangerous.

So, he seized an opportunity, kicked the opponent away fiercely, then suddenly turned around, quickly slammed open his own door, swiftly darted into the room, and then tightly shut the door behind him.

The Man in Black reacted quickly, kicking fiercely at Qin Shou's door, directly shattering the wooden door panel, and swiftly followed him in.

Qin Shou had already opened the balcony window and was jumping down floor by floor along the air conditioner's outdoor unit next to the balcony.

Fortunately, the floor where Qin Shou lived was not too high, only five stories. A moment later, Qin Shou had already landed by the roadside.
