54: Deathmatch

Qin Shou naturally couldn't miss such an excellent opportunity for a counterattack; he quickly crawled out of the overturned hummer vehicle, executed a clean roll, knelt down, and swiftly pulled out his pistol, firing several shots in quick succession at the remaining Men in Black, his movements crisp and decisive.

Li Zhengxi was indeed no ordinary person; he immediately realized the danger and quickly hid behind the land rover vehicle, using its body for cover.

However, Qin Shou's target was never him. Through their brief previous exchange and observation, Qin Shou had already vaguely sensed something peculiar about Li Zhengxi; he seemed to possess some ability similar to precognition, allowing him to sense impending danger in advance.

Therefore, unable to guarantee a one-hit kill, Qin Shou decisively chose to prioritize eliminating the other, less threatening Men in Black.

Under the powerful blessing of the God of Firearms skill, Qin Shou's marksmanship was honed to perfection. The other Men in Black had no chance to resist him; Qin Shou took them down almost one by one, each shot precisely hitting their foreheads, cleanly and instantly eliminating five Men in Black without giving them any opportunity to fight back.

However, after firing five consecutive shots, the pistol in Qin Shou's hand was completely out of ammunition.

Seeing that Qin Shou's pistol was empty, Li Zhengxi knew his chance for a counterattack had arrived. He immediately charged out from behind the land rover vehicle, moving at extreme speed directly towards Qin Shou, raising his right foot and delivering a powerful, heavy kick towards Qin Shou's chest.

Li Zhengxi's kick was fast, vicious, and full of power; if it connected, Qin Shou would be severely injured, if not killed.

Qin Shou was currently in a half-crouch, his center of gravity unstable. He dared not directly take Li Zhengxi's powerful kick. In his haste, he directly used the empty pistol in his hand as a weapon, smashing it fiercely towards Li Zhengxi's face.

Li Zhengxi reacted quickly, raising a hand to block Qin Shou's pistol. His kicking leg naturally paused, losing its original force and speed. Qin Shou seized this rare opportunity, immediately executed a side roll, dodging Li Zhengxi's attack, and then followed up with a sweeping leg, powerfully striking Li Zhengxi's lower body, knocking him to the ground.

Immediately, Qin Shou unhesitatingly pounced, pinning Li Zhengxi beneath him, then raised his fist and brought it down hard on Li Zhengxi's face.

However, Li Zhengxi's reactions and combat experience were also very rich. The moment he fell, he quickly adjusted his posture, turning his head, narrowly dodging Qin Shou's powerful punch. Then, he took the opportunity to raise his knee, delivering a fierce upward thrust that heavily impacted Qin Shou's abdomen.

As a minor leader of the Blood God Cult, Li Zhengxi possessed the power of an evil god and also had immense strength. The force of his knee strike was enormous. Qin Shou felt an intense, churning pain in his abdomen, as if his internal organs had shifted. He could no longer hold it in, and with a 'wah' sound, he vomited out all the sour liquid from his stomach, along with his overnight meal, which landed squarely on Li Zhengxi's face, splattering him.

The two were already entangled in a close struggle, their distance very short. Li Zhengxi had no time to react, and his mouth was already slightly open, so he ended up catching all of Qin Shou's vomit.

"Damn you! I'm going to kill you today!"

As a Goryeo national, Li Zhengxi was usually very particular, even applying makeup like a woman when going out. He could not tolerate such a humiliating disgrace as being covered in vomit.

He was instantly disgusted and disoriented, letting out a furious roar. He forcefully flexed his arms, actually lifting Qin Shou's entire body and slamming him hard against the adjacent hummer vehicle.

With a loud 'bang', Qin Shou's body heavily impacted the deformed hummer vehicle. He felt a sweetness in his chest, and a mouthful of fresh blood couldn't be held back, spraying out and staining the hummer vehicle.

Qin Shou was utterly horrified. He knew he possessed strength comparable to Tyson, yet he had no advantage against Li Zhengxi, being completely suppressed by him. This guy was simply a monster.

Qin Shou was somewhat stunned and dizzy from the heavy fall, and before he could fully react, Li Zhengxi had already rushed over again, raising his foot and, with a whistling gust of wind, stomped down hard towards Qin Shou's head.

Qin Shou was greatly alarmed. Enduring the soreness and discomfort throughout his body, he suddenly rolled over, narrowly dodging Li Zhengxi's fatal kick.

"Catch!"

Just then, Zhu Xinyao, who had been hiding inside the hummer vehicle, suddenly leaned out of the window and threw a sharp short knife towards Qin Shou.

This short knife was originally equipped in this hummer vehicle, stored with the pistol. Qin Shou had seen the gun in the hummer vehicle before, so he naturally hadn't taken this dagger.

At this moment, Qin Shou was engaged in an intense struggle with Li Zhengxi. Zhu Xinyao, hiding inside the hummer vehicle, watched anxiously. She immediately found the short knife that Qin Shou had left in the hummer vehicle and threw it out without hesitation.

"Thanks!"

Qin Shou, with quick eyes and hands, grabbed the short knife Zhu Xinyao threw. As he rolled to dodge Li Zhengxi's kick, he used all his strength and, with a 'crack', plunged the knife down hard into the foot Li Zhengxi had just used to stomp.

Qin Shou put all his might into that strike. He poured all his strength into the knife, and the sharp short knife actually pierced through the top of Li Zhengxi's foot, deeply embedding itself, along with his foot, into the ground, the blade sinking in up to the hilt.

"Ah—!"

Li Zhengxi never expected Qin Shou to suddenly have a knife in his hand. He screamed in agony, his voice shrill and desperate. In that instant, Qin Shou seized the opportunity, abruptly stood up, gathered all his strength, and delivered a direct punch to Li Zhengxi's face.

Li Zhengxi's entire foot was now firmly pinned to the ground by Qin Shou's short knife. Immobilized by the intense pain, he was utterly unable to dodge Qin Shou's powerful punch. In his desperation, he could only barely cross his arms, attempting to block Qin Shou's fierce blow.

However, Qin Shou's punch was a feint, employing a move from the Wing Chun style. It was a false attack, seemingly aimed at Li Zhengxi's face to attract his attention, but the true killing blow was aimed at the heart.

Qin Shou's left hand suddenly swung out from under his armpit with lightning speed, striking later but arriving first, directly and heavily impacting Li Zhengxi's chest.

When delivering this punch, Qin Shou didn't forget Butler Fu's reminder. He secretly gathered a breath of true Qigong energy, driving it along with his fist into Li Zhengxi's heart. This was not merely a physical strike, but an invasion of Qigong force, specifically targeting the parasitic worms within Li Zhengxi's body.

Li Zhengxi took Qin Shou's punch, imbued with Qigong energy, head-on. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes bloodshot, his face turning incredibly pale. He looked at Qin Shou with an expression of disbelief, his lips trembling slightly.

"You—you actually know—Qigong!"

Li Zhengxi uttered a few difficult words, then fell straight down.

Qin Shou let out a long breath, wiped the cold sweat that had seeped from his forehead due to the intense struggle, and turned, intending to check on Zhu Xinyao, who had been hiding in the hummer vehicle.

"Come out, they've all been dealt with."

However, just as Qin Shou was about to lift his leg to step forward, he suddenly felt his ankle tighten, firmly grasped by someone. His heart jolted in alarm, and he quickly looked down...
