Su Tao let out a sigh. He had picked up this technique from Liu Jianwei. He never expected that his a.s.sa.s.sin wouldn't fall for it, and he could sense the increasing danger as the other party approached. Thus, he could no longer keep up with his pretence when the other party was about one meter away. He rolled on the ground and moved a few inches to the side. Although Ba.s.soon was surprised, he reacted swiftly and held onto the hilt of the knife in his right hand then pounced towards Su Tao.
Aside from Muay Thai, Thailand also had traditional martial arts like the Krabi-krabong. Compared to Chinese martial arts, it wasn't fancy and was more direct with high lethality.
Su Tao felt a cold wind blowing against his scalp as the blade sc.r.a.ped past his scalp. He wasn't in the mood to see how many hairs were separated and immediately launched a counterattack.
His body's flexibility was freakish as he lashed out a kick that caught Ba.s.soon by surprise. Although everything happened in a flash, Ba.s.soon knew that he would lose his fighting capability if that kick struck him. Su Tao's ability to recognise acupoints was outrageous, which made even an experienced fighter like Ba.s.soon feel troubled.
This was generally the mindset of experienced a.s.sa.s.sins. After testing the other party's skill, they would be able to swiftly grasp the situation. Thus, Ba.s.soon crouched down and leapt over with his eyes flickering with splendour.
Su Tao rubbed his arm, feeling as if he had clashed with a plate of steel from the previous confrontation. Ba.s.soon had trained his body to the limit, so Su Tao had to avoid the next frontal clash and find a breakthrough.
At this moment, Ba.s.soon was observing Su Tao's actions. He wasn't trying to kill Su Tao, but he wanted to capture the latter alive to find the location of his sister.
After a brief deadlock, the door was suddenly knocked and Su Tao was stunned. He speculated that it must be Liu Ruochen.
Thus, he instantly became uneasy. If it was a one-on-one fight, he could rely on his wits and agility to keep Ba.s.soon at bay. But if Liu Ruochen appeared and Ba.s.soon made a move against her, wouldn't he be restricted?
Ba.s.soon was sensitive and charged towards the door. At this moment, Su Tao could only give chase and lashed out a spinning kick at Ba.s.soon's waist. Ba.s.soon felt a cold breeze blowing at his back. He knew that he had to dodge this move. Thus, he changed his footsteps and readjusted his posture before chopping down with his knife at Su Tao.
Facing the chop, Su Tao inwardly cursed, since the skill of this a.s.sa.s.sin was high. Even if Ba.s.soon hadn't reached Liu Jianwei's level, it wasn't far away. Ba.s.soon was experienced, and his reaction speed was insane, along with an accurate judgment. The moment the door was opened, Liu Ruochen felt a coldness on her neck and a silhouette appeared behind her. "Don't move!"
Ba.s.soon was speaking in Mandarin. Although it was half-baked, Su Tao could make out what he was saying and coldly declared, "Let her go. If you dare harm her, I will bestow you a tragic end!"
Liu Ruochen, who initially felt nervous suddenly calmed down from Su Tao's words for some reason.
Ba.s.soon took a few steps forth, Su Tao had also retreated a few steps before the former asked, "What happened to Nida?"
His words instantly gave clues to Su Tao. This person must be related to that female a.s.sa.s.sin. Hence, he casually said, "She was arrested, and is currently kept in a special prison in China. If nothing happens, she will be imprisoned for a lifetime!"
"You!" Ba.s.soon was agitated by Su Tao's words and his eyes turned red with flames gus.h.i.+ng out.
