Chapter 494: The Ceiling of National Security Combat Power

Yu Dazhang had long been on guard against this.

As he dodged, the dagger in his hand swept upward toward the wrist of the opponent holding the blade.

But just as the dagger tip was about to touch the man's wrist, the opponent suddenly pulled his hand back and assumed a defensive stance.

Just as Yu Dazhang was about to press forward, that woman suddenly attacked from the other side.

A three-edged military spike drove viciously toward his ribs.

Damn, their teamwork is really something... Yu Dazhang realized the two of them attacked with extraordinary coordination, giving him no chance to pursue at all.

This time, just as he dodged the woman's military spike, the man shifted from defense to offense, his pointed blade lunging at him again.

Yu Dazhang quickly parried while stepping back half a pace, trying to break free of their pincer attack.

Unfortunately, the opponents simply wouldn't let him have his way; their assault only grew fiercer.

So this is what top-tier agents are like... At this point, Yu Dazhang was already struggling to cope, cold sweat beginning to bead on his forehead, his breathing growing ragged.

The two of them attacked with a style that was simple, vicious, and direct, yet full of skill and explosive power.

Every strike was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, impossible to guard against.

All along, Yu Dazhang had been most confident in close-quarters combat.

But only now did he realize he had simply never run into a true expert.

If his reflexes weren't fast enough, he probably would have been stabbed into a sieve by these two long ago.

Another parry.

The moment Yu Dazhang knocked aside the man's pointed blade, that woman's three-edged military spike drove viciously toward his wrist.

He couldn't dodge it!

At this moment he was in the transition between his old force spent and new force not yet born, with absolutely no way to evade.

In his desperation, Yu Dazhang could only abandon his blade and pull his hand back.

But even so, the military spike still sliced open his wrist.

Though the wound wasn't deep, the pain caused him to briefly zone out.

The man opposite naturally wouldn't let this chance slip by; he charged forward fiercely, his pointed blade stabbing straight at Yu Dazhang's abdomen.

It's over~

Yu Dazhang inwardly let out a wail.

Dodging was definitely out of the question.

All he could hope for now was that the layer of fat on his belly was thick enough to keep this blade from damaging his organs.

The man opposite clearly saw that this strike was sure to land; not a ripple of emotion crossed his eyes, and the way he looked at Yu Dazhang was like looking at a corpse.

At this hairsbreadth moment, a slender, charming figure suddenly appeared before Yu Dazhang's eyes.

Did reinforcements arrive?

A surge of hope leapt up in his heart.

But the next instant, the opponent's pointed blade stabbed straight into this person's abdomen.

This is...

Ying Xuelian!

When Yu Dazhang saw clearly who had taken the blade for him, he could hardly believe his own eyes.

Why her?

No, that's not right.

The question should be, why would she do this?

But now he had no time to think it through; seeing the man about to pull his blade out, Yu Dazhang ignored his wounded hand and grabbed fiercely at the man's wrist.

If that blade were pulled out now, it would surely cause massive bleeding, and by then Ying Xuelian would have a very hard time surviving.

The man was clearly caught somewhat off guard by this sudden turn of events, so his movements were half a beat slow.

Yu Dazhang seized the chance and grabbed his wrist in one motion.

As the two sides wrestled, that woman lunged over again.

It's over... Yu Dazhang inwardly cried out in bitterness.

Never thought he'd die here.

He had clearly been very careful, even deliberately picking out a position that looked safe and completely risk-free before acting.

Yet in the end it had turned into the most dangerous spot of all.

When a person is out of luck, even cold water chokes their teeth.

If he let go now, he could naturally dodge the woman's attack, but Ying Xuelian would be done for.

Yu Dazhang still couldn't bring himself to stand by and watch someone die.

Especially since Ying Xuelian had taken the blade for him.

Just as he was in despair, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the back door.
