Yato used an elbow strike, a technique often employed by Muay Thai experts, to deliver a powerful blow to him.
For the first time, Wu Horio's stout body was defeated by Yato.
Yato rushed forward, disregarding whether his arm was broken or not, and launched a rapid attack with punches and kicks, aiming directly at the opponent's weak points.
He even managed to overpower Wu Hori, leaving him powerless to fight back, like a wooden dummy being beaten at will.
"Varied--!"
Suddenly, after dodging a punch, Yato suffered an unexpected blow to the abdomen.
Looking down, I saw a bloody fist mark on my stomach.
Looking again at Wu Horio, who was panting heavily, with his previously crippled right fist raised in front of him in a defensive posture, Yato immediately understood.
"Your willpower... is not to be underestimated either. The feeling of bone fragments embedded in flesh must be unpleasant, right? If it were at the beginning, this punch would probably have blown my stomach apart."
"...I also regret not doing that."
Wu Horio said in a low voice.
"Then die with regret."
Yato let out a low growl and charged at Wu Horio once again.
The two were now almost exhausted. Although Wu Horio's injuries were less severe and he had better stamina, he was still no match for Yato's incredible recovery ability.
Even if it means taking a punch, you have to exchange it for another.
He has turned Jeet Kune Do's principle of offense and defense into a matter of exchanging injuries for injuries.
The two fought like street thugs, completely disregarding defense and relentlessly beating each other.
Yato's physical abilities were inferior to his opponent's.
One hit would send you staggering back several steps, or even knock you to the ground.
But he always manages to get back up.
Even though she moved as slowly as an old lady and looked like she could be blown away by the wind, she still got up.
"..."
Yato felt the world before him becoming blurry.
Even the sound of breathing seemed very distant.
He knew he was nearing his 'limit'.
Even with the strongest recovery ability, it can't keep up with the cumulative effects of injuries.
But he still forced himself to walk toward the other person.
"..."
Wu Hori was no longer able to express his feelings.
His shoulders slumped, like a bull with its sharp horns broken.
Just by standing there, a pool of blood slowly accumulated beneath him.
Yato's attacks, though not powerful, were sharp enough.
His current condition is largely due to excessive bleeding.
"Do you want to continue fighting?"
Seeing his opponent repeatedly enter his attack range, Wu Horio took a deep breath, and with mixed feelings, mustered his last bit of strength to throw a punch at Yato's head.
Head strikes are always the preferred choice in combat, no matter the situation.
Yato stared at the fist that was spreading outwards.
If this punch lands...
Either the jaw or the chest cavity could have caused his death.
The opponent is a master among masters; there's no way they wouldn't know how to target the weak points of the human body.
boom!
As expected, a heavy blow came.
As Yato fell backward, he instinctively used all his strength to kick out.
"Iai...kii."
A sharp, swift toe brushed past Wu Hori's neck.
Blood splatters!
The lateral side of the neck is also called the carotid artery.
Located on both sides of the neck, the carotid artery contains the carotid sinus, and the walls of the carotid sinus have a large number of dense pressure-sensitive nerve endings. This triangular area is very sensitive to external stimuli. If it is hit by a palm, knife, or punch, the pressure will exceed the circulating blood pressure, resulting in insufficient blood and oxygen supply, leading to coma or death.
Yato had tried to hit this spot quite a few times, but Horio's protection was excellent, and his physical abilities were practically superhuman. While an ordinary person might be badly injured after being hit, he might not necessarily be hurt.
But only there.
Yato used the Tempest Kick this time.
A laceration and a blunt force trauma are two different things.
Yato didn't believe that Wu Horio could withstand this attack and still stand up.
And indeed, that's exactly what he expected.
After falling to the ground, Yato saw Wu Horio clutching his bleeding neck, slowly backing up against the support pillar and sliding to the ground, his breathing becoming barely audible.
However, he couldn't feel happy at all.
"you……?"
Yato stared intently at him.
My consciousness, which was almost completely blank, became somewhat clearer under the influence of anger.
"If you're going to win, win beautifully, kid."
Wu Horio's voice was hoarse and weak.
"What's with the loser trying to be cool?"
Yato was panting heavily, his body soaked with sweat that dried and then soaked again, the sweat running into his eyes, which he couldn't lift to wipe away. His body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.
The final blow from both sides.
Yato was even prepared to perish together with his opponent.
But Wu Horio suddenly changed his tactics.
His fist suddenly opened.
In other words, he fell to the ground entirely because Wu Horio pushed him down with one palm.
Instead of being beaten down.
That's why I haven't lost consciousness yet.
"Damn it, you'll die after I collect the rewards for mission ③!"
Yato spat out a mouthful of blood at the unconscious 'Oniu'.
Carrying his battered and bruised body, he walked towards the exit of the unfinished building.
Chapter 34
Outside the unfinished building.
Wu Bianzao and Wu Fengshui seemed somewhat uneasy.
The battles inside lasted too long.
Even with complete trust in one's elders' abilities, some worries are inevitable.
"I'll go in and take a look."
Wu Fengshui, whose injuries had already been treated, couldn't help but say something.
"No, have you forgotten what Uncle Horio said before? No matter what happens, you're not allowed to go in."
Wu Bianzao quickly grabbed her.
"But almost ten minutes have passed. Even if the other party escaped, Uncle Horio should have come out by now, right? But there's still no sign of him, and the noise inside... is making me a little uneasy."
Upon hearing Wu Fengshui's words, Wu Bianzao fell silent.
Yato was unaware that although his battle with his opponent took place inside an unfinished building, the quiet surroundings and the spacious interior inevitably caused some noise to travel outside.
In particular, Wu Hori, who resembled a ferocious beast, punched and kicked like a typhoon, causing significant damage to the interior of the building.
Given enough time, one person could probably demolish this building.
Both Wu Fengshui and Wu Bianzao were martial arts practitioners with superhuman physiques, making them particularly sensitive to such movements.
You can roughly sense the intensity of the battle.
What was initially thought to be a sure thing has taken an unexpected turn.
That's why they felt uneasy.
However, soon—an even more unsettling situation occurred for the two of them.
Footsteps could be heard inside the unfinished building.
"...!"
"what?!"
When they saw who it was, they were utterly shocked.
That's right.
It was Yato.
He was covered in wounds.
Some movements and postures look awkward, and to an expert, they can be seen at a glance as signs of a fracture.
Moreover, judging from the number of fractures, the severity of the fractures is not minor.
The possibility of massive internal bleeding cannot be ruled out.
Yato struggled to open his swollen eyes and stared at Wu Bianzao and Wu Fengshui.
Although his injuries had accumulated to such a terrible degree.
But after he fixed his gaze on me...
Wu Bianzao and Wu Fengshui both felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being watched by a wounded beast. For a moment, they dared not make any rash moves, fearing that any excessive action would bring about a fatal blow.
"...If someone comes within five minutes, there's still hope for that guy."
Yato suddenly spoke.
It broke the silence of the standoff.
This also brought their attention back.
Upon hearing this, Wu Bianzao and Wu Fengshui exchanged a glance and instantly understood what he meant.
"Go on, call for help."
Wu Bianzao left with a remark and rushed into the unfinished building to find Wu Horion, probably to take some temporary emergency measures.
Wu Fengshui quickly took out his phone and sent messages to his teammates in the Tokyo team, asking for help.
The Wu clan has ample experience and means of dealing with this situation.
For an ordinary person, five minutes would be enough to wait for death.
The ambulance couldn't arrive in time.
But for the Wu clan, five minutes is more than enough!
