Chapter 59: Anfisa's Astonishment!
Three men from Fusang sat facing Fatty Liu. Seeing the unsightly expression on Fatty Liu's face, a playful smile appeared on the corners of all three men's mouths.
Meanwhile, Fatty Liu felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Although they were business partners, Fatty Liu knew very well what kind of scum these people were. They were definitely mocking him in their hearts!
"That won't be necessary, Mr. Fukushima. The one who broke in is just a greenhorn; I can certainly handle it."
After saying this, Fatty Liu directly waved to a henchman beside him and whispered,
"Tell those five fellows on the third floor to make their move immediately. To let a single person cause such a commotion—aren't we just making ourselves a laughingstock for Mr. Fukushima?"
Hearing this, the henchman nodded and rushed directly downstairs.
However, what this henchman didn't expect was that Qin Yuan had already reached the third floor.
After wiping out the bodyguards on the second floor, Qin Yuan directly activated his thermal imaging ability and discovered that there were only five people on the third floor. Furthermore, these five were quite strange: aside from carrying firearms, they were also equipped with a number of cold weapons.
"Heh, it seems these five are close-combat experts?"
Qin Yuan was amused on the spot. He had just acquired the Praying Mantis boxing technique today, and they would make the perfect sparring partners to test out his moves!
With that, Qin Yuan strode up the stairs. The five men on the third floor saw him walking up and instantly aimed their guns right at him.
Yet, noticing that Qin Yuan was completely empty-handed, a trace of astonishment flashed through their eyes. This kid wasn't even carrying a gun?
A cold smile played at the corners of Qin Yuan's mouth. As expected, upon seeing him, these fellows didn't immediately open fire!
At that moment, a man with a scar across his face wore an extremely ferocious grin as he took in the scene:
"Kid, do you think you're invincible just because you took out those trash downstairs? You actually dare to walk right up here!"
An untouchable smile hung on Qin Yuan's face as he looked at the scarred man and replied flatly:
"What? Not walk up? Should I have had you carry me up instead?"
Seeing that Qin Yuan was still being so arrogant, the scarred face instantly flew into a rage and roared:
"Brat, you're courting death!"
With that, the scarred man instantly drew a Kukri knife and slashed straight at Qin Yuan!
Since they already had several guns trained on Qin Yuan, they considered him completely within their grasp and felt no pressure at all.
Therefore, they wanted to use a blade to properly teach Qin Yuan a lesson, letting him know the consequences of daring to provoke people like them!
However, watching that incoming blade, Qin Yuan's eyes held a trace of disappointment!
He had originally thought that since these five occupied an entire floor, they would possess formidable strength.
Yet this very first strike already showed their cowardice!
Slow!
Slow!
Far too slow!
In Qin Yuan's eyes, the blade in the scarred man's hand was sluggish, moving just like a snail!
Such an opponent provided no training value whatsoever.
Mimicking a praying mantis, Qin Yuan hooked his wrist and delivered a sideways strike, instantly plunging his hand into the scarred man's neck and drawing a splash of fresh blood!
One-hit kill!
"Gurgle..."
The scarred man never imagined that he wouldn't even survive a single exchange in front of Qin Yuan.
Moreover, Qin Yuan's fingers were like a sharp long blade, slicing through his neck without the slightest resistance.
Qin Yuan himself was somewhat surprised. He had originally intended to shatter the opponent's throat, only to find that his fingers were as sharp as a knife!
This Praying Mantis blade technique was truly formidable!
Excitement flickered in Qin Yuan's eyes. He grabbed the scarred man's corpse and hurled it directly at the others!
At that moment, seeing that the scarred man was already dead, panic instantly swept through the remaining men!
The scarred man was considered the strongest expert among the five of them!
Yet he was wiped out by Qin Yuan in a single encounter?
"Shoot! Kill him!"
The remaining four shrieked in terror, but it was already too late. Using the corpse of the scarred man as cover, Qin Yuan had already charged right up to them!
"Together!"
These four were also martial arts practitioners.
Naturally, they understood that in close quarters, melee weapons were far more reliable than firearms. They instantly drew their daggers and slashed at Qin Yuan!
Qin Yuan smiled with disdain. Curling two fingers into claws, he lunged straight for the throats of all four men!
Thud! Thud!
With two crisp sounds, the two men rushing in front clutched their throats and crashed straight to the ground!
As for the remaining two, looking at the bloody holes in the necks of their three dead comrades, their eyes were filled with absolute terror. Losing all courage to fight Qin Yuan, they began retreating uncontrollably.
Yet they soon realized their speed was nowhere near Qin Yuan's. Desperate, they brought their daggers up near their throats, hoping to block Qin Yuan's attack!
Seeing this movement, Qin Yuan's hand did not alter its trajectory in the least as it slammed heavily onto the fine steel dagger!
With this single blow, Qin Yuan shattered the dagger right down the middle with sheer brute force!
Splat!
The broken blade, its momentum unbroken, sliced straight across the man's neck!
Drawing back his other hand, Qin Yuan looked at the five corpses and felt a lingering sense of unfulfillment.
Indeed, killing with close-range martial arts and killing with firearms were two completely different experiences.
Besides, the strength of these five was simply too poor.
Qin Yuan hadn't even been able to unleash the true power of the Praying Mantis boxing technique!
Just then, Qin Yuan heard a commotion from the stairway and instantly pinched a playing card between his fingers.
It was the henchman Fatty Liu had sent down to give orders. Before even reaching the spot, the henchman shouted:
"The boss wants you guys to go down and resolve—"
Before he could finish shouting, he saw five corpses lying haphazardly about, while an unfamiliar man was staring right at him.
"You..."
Qin Yuan casually flicked a playing card, which instantly embedded itself deep into the henchman's throat. The henchman clutched his neck and collapsed!
However, just as Qin Yuan was about to move upward, his gaze turned cold. The playing card in his hand flickered out, flying directly toward the upper floor!
Anfisa, who was on the upper floor, stepped aside with disgust upon seeing the corpses on the ground. Yet this exact movement fortuitously allowed her to dodge Qin Yuan's flying card!
With a soft thud, the playing card sank deep into the marble staircase, breaking Anfisa out in a cold sweat!
So close!
She had almost been finished!
Without pausing, Qin Yuan leaped upward in a single bound!
By now, the mercenaries downstairs had been completely dealt with!
Only Anran, Anfisa on the fourth floor, and... Fatty Liu and the others on the fifth floor remained!
"Huh? It's you?"
Qin Yuan instantly bounded onto the fourth floor!
The moment he appeared, an exclamation rang out from ahead. It was Anfisa, who, upon spotting Qin Yuan, watched with surprise and delight shining in her large, beautiful eyes!
