Chapter 184: The Flawless Person

"Interesting." Zhang Shan nodded. "Let me see how many strikes it takes to knock down your bamboo-like physique."

Lao Sun, hiding in the farthest spot, turned pale at the sight.

Xiaoxiao had once said that if this man named Zhang Shan gained "Hui Xiang," no one could defeat him.

But even without "Hui Xiang," his combat strength was still formidable. A burly man over 1.9 meters tall was definitely not something two ordinary men could take down.

Luo Shiyi reached up and unzipped his leather jacket, revealing his muscular upper body.

"Xiaoxiao!" he shouted. "I need 'Jia Huo'!"

"Damn..." Xiaoxiao lay on the ground and cursed. "I need 'Wang You'... This guy is too strong..."

After hearing that, Luo Shiyi sensed trouble. He glanced sideways and saw that Xiaoxiao had already been knocked down.

What was the background of that skinny, tattooed man?

How could he have taken down Xiaoxiao?

Such a skilled fighter—why had he never heard of him before?

Looking more closely at Xiaoxiao's pained face, it seemed she had been knocked down multiple times.

"Hey... Xiaoxiao, are you serious?" Luo Shiyi asked doubtfully. "Aren't you a fighting coach?"

"Shut up..." Xiaoxiao slowly got up, her face twisted in pain. "Just give me 'Wang You.' I want him dead."

"That tattooed guy looks too skinny. He couldn't possibly have the strength to take you down," Luo Shiyi said.

Hearing that, a faint smile crept onto Xiaoxiao's lips. "Thanks."

"Still not giving up?" Qiao Ji Jin said with a laugh. "Though I don't want to push you over the edge, my hands are already stained with blood—I don't mind adding a bit more."

"You can try." Xiaoxiao flexed her limbs again, slowly raising her hands, bending her arms slightly to shoulder level, clearly adopting a Judo stance.

Qiao Ji Jin sighed helplessly and slowly bent his arms and right knee.

The one-on-one fight had reached a critical moment; the opponent would likely bring out her best moves.

If this Judo stance was Xiaoxiao's trump card, he would have to use Muay Thai.

Strike swiftly to cut through hesitation, using hardness to break softness.

As long as he could land a killing blow, all other techniques would be futile.

"When I was seventeen, I nearly killed someone on the street with Muay Thai," Qiao Ji Jin said. "I haven't used it since then."

"Hmph, in today's society, killing someone in broad daylight? What a pathetic lie."

Xiaoxiao sneered and charged forward, swinging her right hand down to grab Qiao Ji Jin's arm.

Qiao Ji Jin jumped in place and slammed his left elbow downward onto Xiaoxiao's right hand, immediately followed by a powerful right punch that landed squarely on her cheek.

His entire posture was oddly aggressive, completely ignoring his own vulnerabilities, with every move aimed at finishing the opponent.

Xiaoxiao grunted and stumbled backward uncontrollably.

But Qiao Ji Jin didn't stop. He took a couple of running steps, leaped up on one leg, and swung both arms from the sides, fists targeting Xiaoxiao's temples, while his knee simultaneously struck her chin.

Hitting three vital points on a human head at once would be fatal in any situation.

Due to completely abandoning his balance, Qiao Ji Jin staggered several steps after landing before steadying himself.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao showed no signs of injury from such a lethal attack. Seizing the moment while he was unsteady, she hugged him from behind.

Her arms locked vertically around Qiao Ji Jin's throat.

A naked choke.

Without hesitation, Qiao Ji Jin reached back and gripped Xiaoxiao's fingers, yanking them down hard. There was a clear "crack," but she didn't let go.

"What...?" Qiao Ji Jin was stunned. Normally, anyone would release from the pain, but Xiaoxiao continued as if she felt nothing.

"Thug, you've lost!" Xiaoxiao snarled with a laugh.

Qiao Ji Jin kept shifting his body, trying to find a way to escape.

With his fighting experience, all escape methods relied on making the opponent feel pain and back off.

But now, Xiaoxiao seemed completely immune to pain—how could he counter that?

Seeing Qiao Ji Jin twisting around, Xiaoxiao leaned back, dragging them both to the ground.

She lay on her back with him in front, maintaining the choke on his throat.

Now, Qiao Ji Jin's feet were off the ground, making it even harder to exert force. He knew that if this continued, he'd fall into shock and lose the fight for sure.

Thinking of that, he lifted his right leg high and slammed his heel down onto Xiaoxiao's calf. The blow was forceful, but no scream came as expected.

He kicked several more times, each with great power.

Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong; though she didn't feel pain, she couldn't sense her right leg anymore.

She curled her legs up and clamped them tightly around Qiao Ji Jin's waist, then pulled upward, causing his face to flush red from the intense pressure.

"Damn... You're cheating..."

Qiao Ji Jin had never imagined someone could be completely numb to pain—his usual tactics were useless.

He thrust his elbow toward Xiaoxiao's ribs again, but she reacted like a lifeless doll, showing no response.

"Hey! Qiao Ge!"

Li Xiang Ling noticed the two grappling on the ground and rushed over, giving Zhang Shan an opening to break free.

"Be careful..." Qiao Ji Jin gritted his teeth and said, "She's cheating..."

Seeing the pair on the ground, Li Xiang Ling's face turned cold. She extended two fingers and thrust them straight toward Xiaoxiao's eyes.

"Shit!"

Xiaoxiao was startled and quickly turned her head away. Even without pain, she had instinctive reactions.

This small movement exposed a huge weakness.

Seizing the instability, Qiao Ji Jin grabbed Xiaoxiao's arm and yanked it down hard.

Finally, her arm slipped from his neck.

"Cough, cough! Damn..." Qiao Ji Jin coughed a few times as he stood up, realizing the situation was tricky. "This tough woman has no weaknesses..."

"Do you need my help?" Li Xiang Ling asked.

"No need." Qiao Ji Jin shook his head. "You go help the big guy. I won't get locked up again."

"Are you sure it's okay?" Li Xiang Ling asked.

"Don't worry." Qiao Ji Jin said, "That caught me off guard earlier. Now I have a strategy."

"Then... then be careful." Li Xiang Ling nodded.

Li Xiang Ling circled around Xiaoxiao and returned to Zhang Shan's side.

Meanwhile, Xiaoxiao stood up, appearing unaffected.

"Thug, you can't beat me." Xiaoxiao laughed as she advanced. "Next, I'll make you... hmm?"

She suddenly realized her right foot wasn't responding.

Now, she walked with a limp, unable to put weight on it.
