Wu Horio slowly approached.
His black eyes with white pupils were filled with a captivating sense of oppression, constantly putting pressure on Yato, attempting to force him to bow his head and admit defeat.
At least in this way, I would have a good reason to leave without arousing the suspicion of the target.
'But I never expected this kid to push me to this point. Even without using the clan's secret techniques, using [Liberation] still left me in such a sorry state. In terms of performance, he's already exceeded the minimum standards for the employer of alteration and feng shui; he can be considered excellent. Truly a remarkable fellow.'
Wu Horio thought to himself.
He had heard Wu Bianzao mention the mission they had taken on, so he knew about it.
Although I don't know what the employer's purpose is.
However, according to the requirements, all you need to do is try your best to test the other party's true strength and then give an evaluation. You don't need to kill anyone, even if you perform poorly.
Wu Hori had no particular feeling about not being able to kill.
But it must be admitted that...
He almost couldn't resist killing this kid.
Even for him, it would be difficult to test someone's strength without harming them.
After all, defeating someone is much more difficult than killing someone.
Especially since it's an assassin tasked with this kind of mission, it's really asking too much of them.
Wu Huoxiong didn't know why the clan chief had taken on such a troublesome matter, but in any case, there shouldn't be any problems here.
He thought this, but he never received Yato's declaration of surrender.
Instead, they saw Yato get up from the ground again.
"!?"
Wu Horio's eyes widened.
According to his estimation, the other party had at least a grade two fracture and a muscle strain.
The injured areas are the ankle, sole of the foot, knee, and the entire thigh.
A normal person would faint from the pain alone.
But this young man in front of me was actually able to stand up.
Even if it's trembling and precarious.
But he still stood up.
Is this something that can be accomplished simply through willpower?
"Why are you still able to stand up?"
"Because I haven't beaten you down yet."
Yato still had blood left on the corner of his mouth from the kick he had received earlier. As he spoke, he revealed his teeth, which were also stained with blood.
His smile was filled with murderous intent and anger.
There is also an indescribable sadism.
Just by seeing that expression, Wu Hori was certain that the other party was determined to tear him apart.
"In that case..."
He clenched his left fist.
He charged suddenly at Yato.
"I'll beat you down first!"
Even before he was released from his "liberated" state, his aura remained as fierce and wild as ever.
The heat kept rising, like an overloaded internal combustion engine.
With a fist carrying immense kinetic energy, he sent Yato flying.
The leg injury has had a significant impact on him; even maintaining his balance has become a pipe dream.
Even his arm made a cracking sound.
This is because the use of the shoulder blade lacks leg coordination, greatly reducing its ability to absorb force, and it can no longer withstand heavy blows.
Yato tumbled down the stairs.
Wu Hori followed closely behind.
However, perhaps because he was too impatient, Yato seized on his weakness.
"Die!"
With bloodshot eyes, Yato grabbed one of his opponent's legs, flipped over, locked his arms around the opponent's neck, and twisted it with a sudden burst of strength.
This is a grappling technique found in many martial arts.
Among them, strangulation is considered the most dangerous.
Wu Horio's breath hitched. Due to his injured legs, his center of gravity was not as stable as it had been at the beginning. With the help of Yato's full strength and the choke technique, he fell down the stairwell, which had no handrails.
The two people rolled from the fifth floor all the way down to the first floor.
Wu Hori was even unable to maintain the state of "liberation".
"Stinky brat!"
Wu Horio was furious.
The task was completely forgotten.
At this moment, he completely regarded Yato as an opponent worthy of his all-out battle!
"Lion bites..."
He got up from the ground and struck a unique pose.
Like a lion crouching on the ground, it will charge forward in one go and bite through the trachea of its prey.
"cough……!"
Yato coughed up blood again, enduring the pain.
Driven by a surge of heat from his body, he shakily got up.
His ribs, spine, internal organs... it can be said that more than half of his body tissues suffered injuries of varying degrees during the fall.
But even injuries so severe that they would require immediate hospitalization could not break him.
the reason is simple.
He has a talent called 'Conqueror'.
Chapter 33
That's a talent obtained through the system, which can provide comprehensive enhancement in battle. Once it reaches its limit, it grants recovery power equivalent to half of its amplification effect.
Yato's current attribute values are actually higher than in his normal state, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand the opponent's [Release] for so long.
After all, if the attribute values are insufficient, any technique will crumble at the first touch.
However, at this moment, the attribute bonuses are no longer important to Yato.
On the contrary, his greatly enhanced recovery ability is his true reliance!
That's superhuman recovery ability... no, it should be called 'regenerative ability'!
"giant……"
At the moment when Wu Horio used his secret technique and rushed over.
Yato leaned against the stairwell wall, looking utterly exhausted.
But suddenly, he jumped up the stairs behind him, and using the height and terrain advantage, he did a backflip, his feet slamming into Wu Horio's left arm like rocks falling from above!
"Suppress them!"
Originally, the lion bite move also requires the use of both hands.
A lion that bites with only one hand is imperfect.
Therefore, Wu Hori's plan to defeat Yato with this move failed.
Yato fell down the stairs again.
He felt like his back was really clashing with the ground today.
On the other side, Wu Horio had two deep wounds on his left arm, from which blood was flowing continuously.
"Huhuhu..."
Wu Horio was also sweating profusely, panting heavily like a bellows.
Slowly, he walked up to Yato.
Before Yato could even get up, he was punched.
It hit him right on the forehead.
"!"
Yato felt like he was seeing stars.
Then a dizzying sensation followed, and a feeling of weightlessness washed over me.
"ended."
Wu Hori whispered.
Grab Yato's clothes and slam him against the wall.
boom!
boom!
boom!
……
In just a few strokes, Yato's shirt was torn to shreds because he used too much force.
But Yato was thus freed from his grasp.
"Kid... uh!"
Wu Horio was about to say something when he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Suddenly, Yato kicked him in the groin.
No man could withstand such a heavy blow.
"Can your muscles get any bigger?"
Yato grinned.
See his smile.
For some reason, Wu Horio felt a chill.
why?
Why did they suffer such a blow?
Yet he had not lost consciousness and was even able to launch a counterattack.
Is this guy even human?!
The masters of the Wu clan are often referred to as 'ghosts' by outsiders.
But in the eyes of Wu Horio, who was known as the "Demon Bull," the young man in front of him was more like a demon!
While he was stunned, Yato seized the opportunity and punched him in the nose.
Wu Hori was beaten so badly that blood splattered from his nose, and his head tilted back uncontrollably.
"It's my turn!"
