Chapter 143: Pass Five Gates and Slay Six Generals

Xu Nuo's consciousness was instantly thrown into chaos, almost exclaiming out loud, inexplicably feeling a wave of shyness:

"Wait, Teacher?! Where are you... touching..."

But in the next second she understood. That peace amulet worn on her chest was unhesitatingly pulled off by Xu Nuo and tightly gripped in her palm.

At the same time, her body was abruptly released like a bowstring drawn to its limit!

No retreat, no hesitation, throwing her whole body forward!

Pouring the last remaining strength, the ultimate techniques endowed by the Kung Fu Master Experience card, and Xu Nuo's limitless will entirely into this pounce!

Fast as lightning, fierce as a mad tiger!

Using the wedge-shaped tip of that wooden amulet, she viciously stabbed toward the Xinshu acupoint slightly below Tsukuyomi's back, a part confirmed to be extremely vulnerable combining traditional meridian cognition and modern medical anatomy!

"Pfft!"

Although it was just a wooden peace amulet, under the blessing of absolute speed, power, and precision, it was enough to kill!

"Ugh... hng..."

Tsukuyomi's forward-rushing motion instantly went rigid!

His eyes bulged out, his face full of extreme astonishment, bewilderment, and primal fear of death!

Thud!

His legs went weak, and he fell face-first stiffly onto the floor. His body twitched slightly twice, and then completely stopped moving.

Xu Nuo understood.

A sharp strike with sufficient force to this part can cause instant respiratory muscle paralysis and sudden cardiac arrest... No wonder his later public cause of death would be diagnosed as a sudden heart attack.

Xu Nuo knelt on one knee, using the wooden amulet to support herself on the cold floor, barely managing not to collapse along with him.

Panting violently, the erosion of the drug's effect and the high-intensity outburst just now placed an immense burden on this body.

However, when Xu Nuo forced herself to stand up and swept her gaze toward the inner room, her movement paused slightly.

Little Sumire was inside, temporarily safe.

But... time.

From controlling the body's outburst until now, more than three minutes had already passed.

No time to care about Little Sumire!

At this moment, she couldn't even protect herself. Taking an unconscious child would mean absolutely no way out!

She could only escape the danger first, let this body wake up from the drug's effect, and then talk about other things!

Xu Nuo took a deep breath and pulled open the door.

In the corridor outside the door, as expected, there were people!

Gekka-ki had not gone far. She was leading three female members also wearing black tight clothes, waiting like statues in the snow not far outside the door.

Hearing the door sound, the four turned their heads simultaneously to look.

When they saw that the one opening the door and coming out was not Lord Tsukuyomi with a possibly satiated expression as they expected, nor the kidnapped or unconscious Xu Nuo, but "Xu Nuo" with cold eyes, unsteady breath, yet still standing straight.

Those eyes of Gekka-ki that always flowed with charm showed undisguised shock and astonishment for the first time!

"Li... Little Nuo?"

Her voice changed pitch due to extreme surprise,

"You... Lord Tsukuyomi he..."

Outside the screen, Xu Yunzhou hurriedly redeemed another five-minute experience card.

Physical strength was restored again.

Xu Nuo completely didn't give her a chance to react!

In the instant the door opened, her body had already darted out like a cheetah!

The first target was the member closest to the door, holding a short baton, still with a surprised expression on her face!

Xu Nuo lowered her body, dodging the short baton swung subconsciously by the opponent, and delivered a swift and precise low sweep kick, viciously kicking the outside of the opponent's supporting ankle!

"Crack!"

A clear sound of bone breaking!

"Ah!"

That woman let out a miserable scream, instantly falling to the ground, rolling while clutching her twisted ankle.

Xu Nuo's movements didn't stop. Taking advantage of the momentum, she rolled on the ground, casually grabbing a decorative cobblestone from beside the swept-down woman.

Without even looking, she hurled it fiercely toward another female member diagonally who was about to draw her sword!

"Whoosh—bang!"

The stone precisely hit the opponent's knife-holding wrist!

"Ugh!"

That woman let out a muffled groan, the short sword flying out of her hand, her wrist instantly turning red and swollen.

Xu Nuo had already bounced up like a ghost, pouncing toward the third female member who had taken a defensive posture.

That woman's reaction wasn't slow, chopping a knifehand toward Xu Nuo's neck!

Xu Nuo neither dodged nor avoided. While blocking with her left hand, her right hand shot out like lightning, clasping the opponent's wrist joint, and taking advantage of the momentum, twisted and pushed!

"Ah!"

The third woman's wrist hurt severely and lost strength. Borrowing her force, Xu Nuo flung her to the side, crashing into a corridor pillar, temporarily losing combat capability.

The entire process, like a rabbit darting and a falcon swooping, took no more than a short minute!

Only Gekka-ki remained!

"Little Nuo... you really... surprise me time and time again..."

Her expression was vigilant, her voice icy cold, without a single bit of the sweet cloyingness from the past.

Xu Nuo remained silent, just staring fixedly at her, footsteps not stopping, calculating the distance and remaining time.

Gekka-ki slowly slid two short swords flashing with cold light from the wide sleeves of her kimono. Holding them backhandedly, she assumed a stance.

"Let me see, just how many skills you still have hidden..."

Before her words fell, Xu Nuo suddenly moved!

But not rushing toward Gekka-ki, but abruptly bending down, scooping with both hands in the snow, lifting a large spray of accumulated snow mixed with gravel, and violently throwing it toward Gekka-ki's face!

"Hmm?"

Gekka-ki subconsciously narrowed her eyes and tilted her head to dodge.

Right at the instant her line of sight was briefly obscured by the snowflakes!

Xu Nuo abruptly kicked off the ground beneath his feet, the snow exploding!

Her body was like an arrow leaving the bow, instantly closing the distance with Gekka-ki!

In the gap where the snowflakes hadn't completely fallen, her right hand clenched tightly into a fist, the muscles in her forearm twisting tight like steel wires, condensing all the remaining strength of her whole body into this punch!

Waist and stance as one, twisting the body and sending the shoulder!

Half-Step Burst Punch!

The plainest, fiercest, and most violent killing move in Xingyi Quan martial arts!

No fancy tricks, only seeking a one-strike sure-kill!

The fist, carrying an indomitable momentum, solidly blasted between Gekka-ki's soft chest and abdominal diaphragm!

"Pfft—!"

Gekka-ki's eyes bulged out, her charming face instantly twisting!

A mouthful of fresh blood mixed with gastric juices sprayed out wildly!

Her whole person was like being hit by a truck traveling at high speed. Both feet left the ground, flying backward, smashing the wooden railing behind her with a "crash," and falling heavily into the icy snow.

Xu Nuo maintained the punching posture, panting violently, her chest heaving like a bellows.

This burst just now almost emptied all her strength, and the eroding sensation of the drug effect surged over again like a tide.

Time was limited, no time to see if they were dead or alive.

Xu Nuo forced herself to walk out of the villa.

In the distance, through the sparse trees, she seemed to already be able to see the blurry outline of that black SUV she drove here, lying quietly in the snowy night.

When the time comes, using the last five minutes, she'll drive as far as she can.

Xu Nuo said excitedly:

"Teacher... thank you... for saving me again..."

Xu Yunzhou's voice responded in her consciousness. Although exhausted, it carried a reassuring steadiness:

"Don't speak, save your physical strength, concentrate. Hold on, Nuo. Shadow's people should also be finding their way over according to the changed coordinates soon. Everything... will pass."

But as the words fell.

His footsteps abruptly stopped.

His face instantly became incomparably ugly.

Ahead, about twenty meters away, at the exit of the path.

Over a dozen figures wearing black clothes silently blocked the way.

They spread out in a semicircle, locking down all possible directions for escape.

Although they didn't obviously raise weapons in their hands, their well-trained standing postures and icy gazes already showed they came with ill intent.

The leading person was a woman.

Her figure was tall and vigorous. Wearing a black mask that only revealed her eyes on her face, her gaze carried the iron blood and indifference honed by experiencing many battles.

Crow.

That hellish instructor known for being cruel and ruthless in the Crescent Group's secret training base.
