Urban Super Soldier King

Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118 Close-Range Combat

Yuan Huai’s entire movement was executed in one smooth motion and was very graceful. It was clear to see that he had professional training.

In theory, with such confidence, Yuan Huai should have easily leaped up.

But in the end, when Yuan Huai stopped at the highest point and reached out to grab the window edge on the second floor, he realized he was still over ten centimeters short.

He had no choice, for safety’s sake, Yuan Huai had to run back.

Wang Qian looked at Yuan Huai with a complex expression; the good impression she had just built instantly disappeared.

Yuan Huai awkwardly smiled and said, "I used to climb up to places like this effortlessly."

Wang Qian shook her head silently. She believed what Yuan Huai said was true; the average person couldn’t pull off that move.

Clearly, Yuan Huai was an expert once, but soaking in alcohol daily would weaken even the strongest body.

"Let me try." Wang Qian said emphatically and started preparing.

She was unsure if she could climb the height but felt compelled to try now that they were at this point.

Yuan Huai nodded awkwardly and whispered, "I’ll be the human ladder."

Yuan Huai then surveyed the surroundings and approached to squat down.

Wang Qian felt a bit embarrassed, but this method was indeed good. She stepped on Yuan Huai’s shoulders.

Yuan Huai stood up with effort, and Wang Qian easily grabbed the window ledge without having to jump.

"Can you hurry up?" Yuan Huai managed to say as he strained underneath.

"Are you even a man, can’t you handle this weight?" Wang Qian wanted to scout the inside further but seeing Yuan Huai struggle, she cautiously opened the window and jumped up.

"How much do you weigh?" Yuan Huai asked as he sat down heavily on the ground, looking at her.

Wang Qian climbed up, confirmed there was no one inside, then angrily glared at Yuan Huai. "You don’t want to come up, do you?"

Yuan Huai quickly shut his mouth. In the past, he could come and go from places like this with ease.

"Lend me a hand," Yuan Huai quietly said, then took a running start.

He grabbed Wang Qian’s arm, slightly pulled, then caught the window ledge and directly jumped up.

Before Wang Qian could react, Yuan Huai had already climbed up, then elegantly jumped down, performing a forward roll.

Not a sound was made throughout.

Wang Qian was genuinely impressed by the whole set of movements. She carefully jumped down and asked Yuan Huai, "Why aren’t you standing up?"

"Don’t move, I hurt my leg when I jumped down." Yuan Huai quietly replied.

Wang Qian: "..." noveldrama

Inside the house, there was a large dining table adorned with flowers. Surrounded by sofas and a coffee table, it seemed to be a dining area.

Standing there, they could hear the sound of fighting outside. If they listened closely, they could even discern Tie Zhuzi’s voice.

They weren’t fools; they didn’t rush out. Instead, they quietly moved a chair to peek outside through the window.

The first thing they saw was the brutal scene on the first-floor hall. Over twenty people were lying on the ground, Xiang Yu was covered in blood, and Tie Zhuzi seemed exhausted, using an iron rod to support himself.

Even Xiao Xuan was panting there.

Dozens of people still surrounded them. They had blood on them, too. It seemed they had developed a shadow over Xiang Yu and the three of them, standing there without daring to advance.

Xiang Yu stood there with a cold smile.

"Come on, come over here," Xiang Yu said, his smile looking so eerie.

"Brother, use this." Tie Zhuzi handed the iron rod to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu took it without hesitation. Tie Zhuzi was exhausted, and Xiang Yu needed to stand by his side to protect him.

He waited for Tie Zhuzi to rest a little before engaging again.

The more Xiang Yu provoked them, the more hesitant they were to move.

Sitting on the second floor, Sky Thief Rat leisurely ate, not in any rush. Today he aimed to slowly torment Xiang Yu to death.

Seeing Xiang Yu covered in blood thrilled him. He didn’t push his brothers to attack; that would ruin the fun.

He didn’t care about the twenty or so people lying on the ground, maintaining a leisurely demeanor.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qian’s heart ached, and she wanted to rush out.

If they didn’t save Xiang Yu in time, it would really be over.

Yuan Huai noticed Wang Qian’s impulsive action and quickly pulled her back, covering her mouth with his hand and whispered, "Going out now won’t save him; it’ll disrupt his fight and cause him harm."

Wang Qian’s tears began to fall, not knowing why she cried, just feeling a deep sadness.

"We must wait for the right moment. Believe in Xiang Yu; he won’t be defeated by these people," Yuan Huai quietly said.

Seeing Wang Qian nod, Yuan Huai released her.

"What do we do now?" Wang Qian, holding back tears, looked at Yuan Huai.

She was in chaos, lacking a clear idea.

"Wait," Yuan Huai said with firm eyes.

He wasn’t sure what he was waiting for, or maybe it was his trust in Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was a master in his heart; he wouldn’t easily fall to these people.

Of course, he had another hope he didn’t mention.

The two calmed down and quietly stood on the chair again.

"Xiao Xuan, take a short break, I’ll handle them," Xiang Yu boldly said.

"Brother, be careful." Xiao Xuan said before sitting on the ground. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about Xiang Yu, but he had to recover his strength quickly to relieve Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu stood confidently with the iron rod, pointing at those around him. "Come on, let’s see how many of you are worth fighting."

The people were from the Hongmen group. Usually, they were arrogant, gritting their teeth upon hearing Xiang Yu’s words, eager to fight, yet no one dared to make the first move.

Since they didn’t advance, Xiang Yu wouldn’t foolishly attack. He was exhausted too and needed time to recover.

The opposing group seemed to understand this; someone muttered, triggering another assault towards Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu swung the rod and sent one flying, then used it as a pivot to leap and sweep around.

The scene was impressive, but reality was harsh. Xiang Yu’s leg got sliced by a knife-wielding attacker, gushing blood.

But he stood there confidently, smiling as if unaware.

Now he focused on protecting Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan, helping them recover quickly.

"Attack those two sitting down," someone suddenly shouted, and they rushed towards Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan again...
