110 Brawl (2/2)

Alright, that's half of their numbers done. This is a bit exhilarating, I haven't had a good brawl for a while now. The institute is too peaceful for my liking so far, I know that there will be events that would make things interesting but the only events that I know of, so far, are the Biannual Examinations, which I have to wait six months for, and the Mission System, which has very random contents. It also doesn't help that I joined the Pill Saint Pavilion since there's little to no combat there. Alas, all of this is for the sake of the greater good. Patience me, patience.

I clapped my hands and started walking away.

No, I am not running away. I haven't forgotten about the rest of them. This is a bait, and since they're still observing me, the leader should make the decision seeing that my guard is down.

Not even five paces later, he already gave the signal. This time, the leader moved as well but he just went closer to observe. Six people surrounded me this time, and unlike their fainted/writhing in pain/crying comrades. They're treating me seriously now.

One guy decided that it would be a good idea to use smoke bombs. Commendable effort, but this is just a minor inconvenience for me, the spiritual feed tracks them well so I could monitor them constantly.

Had to give it to them, fighting inside a thick cloud of smoke isn't easy, much less coordinating with many people.

They moved like slithering snakes around me, often times two assassins will attack me at the same time, sometimes it would be three or so on. But again, their moves are way too obvious, simply dodging their blows in an unnatural angle would make them flustered.

I would catch someone's arm and threw him at the direction of his teammate, then the pressure on me will lessen and I will have enough room to maneuver around.

A punch for you, a kick for that guy. Dislocate this one's shoulders, jab at that one's jaw. Flip backwards, rush, and then kick this guy in the stomach, then punch this guy on the back of his head.

There! Only one man left. During my fight against these six people, I never left him out of my observation. The last thing that I want, is to let an experienced assassin stab me in the back.

Sure enough, I was right.

Not even a second later after I defeated the sixth guy of the second batch, this guy jumped from his hiding location and threw a bunch of needles towards me. I flipped backwards to evade and saw him jumping from on building after another while constantly throwing needles whenever he gets the chance.

If he was throwing plain needles, then I could've just stood here and allow him to shoot till he dropped, but he's an assassin, and just like the rest, he likes poison. Of course he will throw poisonous needles at me, he probably thought that I'm too much to handle in a close quarter combat so he relied on range.

Well, it's not his fault for thinking like that. If I was on his shoes, then I might've thought the same. Unfortunately…

”I'm getting tired of this…”

I jumped from my location and ran to the wall, I could almost feel his shock all the way to my position, but when he saw me running on the wall like I would on the ground, he immediately started panicking.

Yeah, that training with Energy Control is now paying off huh? Bet you weren't expecting me to run on walls did ya'?

He jumped and jumped, doing acrobatic movements just to gain distance away from me while still throwing poisonous needles at me. But I was quick and also nimbler than him, I alternated from running to walls to ground and so on. He tried anticipating my movements but I am proving too much to handle so with a loud grunt, he decided to stop running and faced me head on.

Good call! I thought he was going to run in the middle of the crowd, but it seems that he didn't thought that far ahead.

He took out a long blade, and surprise surprise! It was also coated in poison. He charged at me fiercely but instead of slowing down my momentum to evade his strike, I did the opposite and even went to a full throttle instead.

Yes, I could still move faster.

Because of that sudden change, he panicked and his blade shook. Shame, I guess this ends here.

I quickly closed the distance between us, he grunted heavily and swing his blade at me vertically. With on fluid dodge, my fist met his face. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

He tumbled a couple of times before ending up embedded into a wall, his jaw must be dislocated as I used at least 70% of my strength in that punch. I looked at the mess I made and sighed…

”Alright, let's clean this up.”
