This Curse Is Just Awesome

Chapter 36: Fighting for Survival in the Face of an Impasse

Looking at the strong man walk towards him step by step, Chen Yu felt his heart sink to the bottom of his stomach.

It turned out that the “boss” that other man had told him about wasn’t a Level 3 warrior but the big boss of their Lewei Group.

Level three warrior… that was just his personal bodyguard…

“D*mn!”

Secretly cursing to himself, Chen Yu made a sudden retreat while at the same time tossing a smoke bomb behind him.

“Hiss-hiss-hiss…”

The grenade landed on the ground and immediately ejected streams of thick, concentrated smoke. Rayleigh Taylor instability took place, the smoke rapidly expanding and penetrating the surrounding air.

In a second, the smoke had filled the entire room.

“Want to escape?” With a ferocious look on his face, the strong, burly man rushed over to where he remembered the door to be and swung his arm to land a punch!

“Dong!”

It directly knocked Chen Yu off his feet and sent him crashing into the wall.

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +1785]

“Puke…”

Wiping the blood spilling out from the corners of his mouth, Chen Yu rolled over and got to his feet. With a few tumbles and turns, he hid amidst the thick smoke.

“We’ll see how long this smoke can last,” the strong, burly man said. He took up his position in front of the door and stood guard. “The audacity of you to dare kill Chairman Le,” he said. “Even the gods can’t save you!”

“…”

Chen Yu said nothing in reply. Faced with an impasse, he was extremely calm. First, he would decisively sentence the remaining two enemies who were still unconscious to death.

As such, he quickly crouched down and thought about the countermeasures he needed to take.

But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn’t think of a way to guarantee that he would escape death.

The other party was, no doubt, seriously injured, but based on his strong, resilient vitality, he wasn’t the least affected.

Even with his current strength that had been “blessed,” he was still a far cry from a Level 3 warrior.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other party wanted to capture him alive, that punch just now could have directly shattered everything inside his chest cavity.

At that moment, Chen Yu came up with a plan.

He tightened his grip on his Tang knife, stomped both feet heavily against the ground, and heaved himself up!

“Bang!”

He leapt a few meters high, his entire body moving up into the air.

Then, he positioned himself in an upright yet upside-down stance in the air, with both legs pushing against the ceiling!

“Whoosh!”

Like an arrow leaving its bow, he made a dash for the upper half of the main door. It seemed like he wanted to escape through the gap above the door.

“Dream on.”

By listening to the sounds of Chen Yu’s movements, the strong man managed to pinpoint his position. So, he bent both knees and jumped into the air. Then, with raised arms, he swung Chen Yu away.

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +1543]

“What a heavy punch.”

Rubbing his swollen, painful shoulder, Chen Yu switched his knife to his other hand and charged forward again.

“Dong!”

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +1644]

Charge again!

“Bang…”

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +1706]

Continue to charge!

“Thud-thud…”

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +1220]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +1352]

The strong man was exerting his strength more and more aggressively.

But something felt increasingly wrong…

Even if his opponent was also a warrior of his level, after receiving so many solid punches, he should have sustained internal injuries.

Why was this little brat totally unscathed?

And why was he very much alive and kicking?

“Bang!”

After kicking his opponent away again, the strong man shoved his intestines back into his abdomen before gathering his internal strength and pumping it into every part of his body.

He was ready to execute a few vicious moves and directly incapacitate the other party.

But Chen Yu stopped. With a flip of his hand, another grenade appeared in his palm.

“Click.”

He pulled out the safety pin.

Thick black smoke spewed out into the room again.

The smoke that had just started to dissipate became thicker again.

The strong man gritted his teeth in anger and said, “We shall see exactly how many more of these smoke bombs you still have!”

“…”

Chen Yu still didn’t reply. Raising his Tang knife in a horizontal position, he continued to charge forward.

In the battles he’d engaged in earlier that night, he’d learned many techniques and gained much experience with using a cold weapon like his long knife.

It was also quite a pleasant surprise…

“Swish!”

The knife glinted, while on the other hand, the strong man closed his eyes, dodged to the side, and along the way, sent a flying sidekick that was so fast it stirred up quite a mighty breeze.

Likewise, Chen Yu closed his eyes and used his sense of hearing to dodge the kick.

The two of them exchanged three rounds of blows at an extremely high speed. However, the strong man managed to discover one of Chen Yu’s weak spots, and so he flung his elbow out to strike Chen Yu and sent him flying away.

“Dong!”

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +2060]

“Poof…”

Blood was spurting out of Chen Yu’s mouth so freely that it was almost as if it was worth nothing at all.

“I’m not going to be deterred by you!” Chen Yu cried out.

Wiping his mouth clean of blood, he leapt over for the “nth” time…

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +2233]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +2347]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +2400…]

“There’s no way I’m going to let you get away.” The strong man endured the pain in his abdomen and wielded his internal strength to ward off Chen Yu’s waves of attacks.

On the surface, it would seem like he was definitely the one with the upper hand.

But many times, he clearly felt that he had damaged the other party’s internal organs, and yet the other party would still charge toward him as fast as before, not even requiring as much as a fraction of a second to recover…

“This kid definitely has a freaking problem!”

The strong man fought down his anger and quietly waited for the moment when the smoke dissipated and cleared.

At that time, with the crushing power of his strength, he could definitely capture the other party in at most three moves.

As for why he had to capture the other party alive and not kill him…

If he’d wanted to kill him, he would have long completed the deed!

Now that the chairman was dead, the entire Green City was headed towards turbulent times. And he could hardly shirk his responsibility as the late chairman’s bodyguard. Only by capturing the murderer alive could he reduce the punishment he would receive.

“Swish!”

Amidst the thick smoke, the figure ahead of him stirred up the air in the room, and the sound was detected by the strong man’s ears.

“Here we go again.”

With the energy building up in his chest, he increased the input of his internal strength and directly delivered a powerful, forceful punch!

This was far more powerful than any of his previous attacks!

“Now, it’s time for you to fall to the ground, I guess…” the strong man said.

“Pfft-tsk!”

What an impressive punch!

“Crack…”

Blood and bones splattered everywhere!

“Mm? Something’s not right…”

This unusual sound and touch brought the strong man back to reality as he snapped out of his trance and opened his eyes. Then, his face instantly turned white.

At close range, he could see clearly….

What he just hit wasn’t Chen Yu at all.

Rather, it was…

Chairman Le Wei’s head!

It turned out that Chen Yu had brought Le Wei’s dead body with him when he’d charged at the strong man.

“Not good!”

The strong man reacted extremely fast and was just about to dodge…

But it was already too late…

“Pfft-tsk!”

The sharp Tang knife pierced through Le Wei’s dead body and directly stabbed the strong man’s chest.

More than a dozen rounds of combat with each other, all those sneak attacks and underhanded means, were just for this one final, fatal blow!

“Ah!!” Chen Yu’s eyes turned red, and his wrist twisted sideways. Then, pushing both the dead body and the strong man away, he charged out of the room.

Having left the smoke-filled room, the two now had a clear view of each other’s hideous faces.

“F**k you*!” The strong man was glaring so hard that his eyeballs looked ready to pop out of their sockets. His left arm was still covering his abdomen, which was gushing with intestinal juices, while his right arm was swinging up in one complete circle to heavily hack down on Chen Yu’s left arm!

“Crack!”

With a gut-wrenching sound of bones breaking, Chen Yu’s left arm instantly bent and snapped.

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +4180]

“Crack…”

“Crack…”

And at the same time, he seemed to have broken a few ribs as well.

But Chen Yu didn’t even bat an eyelid. He continued to pick up pace in a frenzied manner while using his Tang knife to push the strong man forward.

“Dang!!!”

“Dong!”

Finally, the two reached the wall at the end of the corridor.

The Tang knife that had pierced through the strong man’s back was forcibly broken by this huge force.

And applying this point of force, Chen Yu was also able to push the blade further in horizontally and hack the other party apart by stopping him at the “chest.”

Naturally, the strong man wouldn’t simply sit and wait for death.

He dropped his left hand from his abdomen. Then, paying no heed to the intestines that were already drooping out, he clutched the Tang knife in his chest and exclaimed, “Chen Yu! I want you to die!!!”

With his back against the metal wall and a corpse in between them, the strong man wasn’t in the best position to exert force. Thus, all he could do was swing and wave his right fist and attack Chen Yu’s head.

Chen Yu also knew that at this point in time, the other party would stop at nothing to beat him, so he immediately bent down, lowered his head, and then, using the strength of his entire body to support his hold over the knife blade, he pushed the knife all the way to the other side of the man’s body.

“Roar!”

The strong man spat out mouthfuls of pus and blood and clutched Chen Yu’s broken left arm in a vice-like grip, as if he were struggling not to drown in deep waters and it was a life-saving buoy. He exerted so much strength that even his fingernails seemed to dig deep into Chen Yu’s muscles.

Chen Yu screamed miserably, while his bloodshot eyes turned even redder.

The intense pain stimulated all the aggressiveness and ferocity that both men could possibly contain inside themselves.

Adrenaline pumped through their blood at a crazy rate. It was just like pouring gasoline into a blazing fire. Their emotions ran high and wild, tumbling and rolling in waves!

“Roar!”

“Ah!!”

“Pfft-tsk…”

“Crack”

The massive blood loss, as well as the severe injuries on his chest and abdomen, made the strong man increasingly weaker.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, was still at full strength!

“I… No… impossible…” Blood was pouring out of the strong man’s nostrils, his face becoming all the more hideous.

“Roar!”

Chen Yu suddenly extricated himself from the fight to put a greater distance between himself and the other party. Then, gathering all the strength he had inside his body, he raised his leg and kicked at the handle of the sword!

“Dong!”

“Tsk…”

The blade of his knife slashed horizontally!

The strong man, who had exhausted his strength, was finally finished off, his chest cleaved apart…

“…” He opened his mouth, his face ablaze with anger, eyes bulging, and slowly fell to the ground as he said, “No… Impos…”

“Thump.”

A Level 3 warrior, a strong man, had breathed his last breath.

And had died with a grievance that would remain unredressed.

“Thud.”

And Chen Yu also sank down to the ground, weak and limp, his entire body covered in cold sweat…
