Chapter 118: You're Even Using Cheats in a Fistfight
Page (1/3)
The members of the Hongying Society who had driven over to extract Ivanka, along with those slowly drifting down from the sky beneath their parachutes, gradually joined the battlefield.
Lu Ye did not dare underestimate them. He immediately drew his black dagger.
If he got the chance, he intended to kill this notorious spy chief on the spot!
After all, Chen Xiaoting had said that whether she lived or died did not matter.
Ivanka, however, was no helpless lamb awaiting slaughter.
With a casual sweep of her sleeve, she suddenly produced a flamboyant butterfly knife.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
She toyed with the butterfly knife between her fingers, spinning it so rapidly that it dazzled the eyes.
Anyone unskilled with such a weapon could easily chop off their own fingers in a matter of seconds.
Ivanka, however, was clearly a master of the butterfly knife.
Clang, clang, clash, clash!
The butterfly knife and black dagger repeatedly collided and crossed paths.
In a mere few seconds, Lu Ye and Ivanka had exchanged more than a dozen attacks and defenses.
To be honest, this was the first time he had ever encountered such a formidable opponent.
Ivanka’s subordinates tried to join the battle and support their leader.
But Meng Beauty was no transparent man. He pulled out a length of parachute cord and wielded it like a long whip!
The cord, more than a dozen meters long, whirled in a wide arc. Accompanied by a sharp sonic crack, it instantly sent three or four men flying!
“Boss, keep battling this American dame. I’ll take care of the rest of the trash!”
“Okay!”
The long whip lashed out, sweeping everything before it.
“You little bastards! Your grandpa Meng Beauty is taking on twenty of you! Get over here and take your beating!”
The rabble immediately exchanged bewildered looks.
“Shit, this muscle-bound idiot is too arrogant. Take him out first!”
Meng Beauty cleverly dragged the fight dozens of meters away, keeping it from interfering with Lu Ye’s battle.
He could tell that the American woman’s skills were no weaker than those of his own captain.
If Lu Ye lost, old Meng would be dead within minutes as well. He could not afford to waste a moment.
...
Splurt.
Splurt!
In the second exchange, Lu Ye and Ivanka crossed paths.
Ivanka’s butterfly knife struck first, leaving a bloody line across Lu Ye’s face.
Lu Ye returned the favor, slashing her across the back with a backhand stroke.
Again!
Lu Ye suddenly flicked up the tip of his foot, kicking up a sheet of yellow sand that showered Ivanka from head to toe.
Ivanka instinctively turned her head aside to avoid it.
At that instant, Lu Ye closed in, driving his black dagger straight toward her.
Though Ivanka had her eyes shut, she wielded the butterfly knife like a pair of nunchaku. It flashed between both hands, weaving a dense, airtight blur of afterimages.
If Lu Ye forced his way through, his black dagger might never reach Ivanka. She would likely chop off one of his hands first!

Damn!
How could this American woman be so strong?
Recalling something Crimson had mentioned on the island, Lu Ye found the matter even more incomprehensible.
Back then, Ivanka had been beaten by the Queen on that island and forced to flee while wounded!
Lu Ye had once felt a trace of contempt over that.
Since the Queen had already injured Ivanka, how could she possibly have let her escape?
Was she really that weak?
But now he no longer dared to think that way. He had discovered that, at best, he could only fight Ivanka to a draw.
Then just how terrifyingly strong was the Queen?
Lu Ye had underestimated his opponent.
Now he was caught between a rock and a hard place, able only to grit his teeth and continue fighting Ivanka for his life.
Splurt, splurt, splurt...
The sounds of blades slicing through flesh rose one after another.
Neither Lu Ye nor Ivanka could gain the upper hand. His combat jacket had already been slashed open in more than a dozen places, while Ivanka’s tight black leather suit had likewise been cut to ribbons by his black dagger.
If they continued like this, they would end up eviscerating each other and dying together.
Two strange, dusky-violet beams suddenly shot from Ivanka’s eyes.
This time, she intended to seize the initiative!
Swish, swish, swish!
A dazzling storm of blade-shadows erupted as the butterfly knife spun toward him.
Lu Ye immediately raised his black dagger to block, but his movements seemed to lag several beats behind.
He failed to stop even a single strike, allowing Ivanka to inflict the full force of her attack!
Lu Ye staggered back more than a dozen steps. Enduring the excruciating pain in his chest, he complained, “Damn it, you’re cheating!”
Ivanka coldly hurled the butterfly knife from her hand. It shot straight toward Lu Ye’s throat.
Forced to bend backward into a rigid bridge, Lu Ye barely dodged the flying blade.
Ivanka took advantage of the opening to withdraw from the battlefield and sprint at full speed toward the convertible sports car.
Yet her running speed was nothing like the ferocious burst she had displayed earlier. It seemed that after using her precognitive ability, she had fallen into a weakened state.
“Trying to run?”
Lu Ye naturally refused to let her go so easily. He rose and chased after her.
Ivanka curled two fingers against her lips and blew a piercing whistle.
“Wheee!”
The Hongying Society members still entangled with Meng Beauty immediately turned back and rushed to block Lu Ye.
Lu Ye unleashed the Eighteen Clothes-Touching Throws, hurling every man in his path aside.
Though he broke through the encirclement, he was ultimately a step too late.
“Vroom, vroom, vroom!”
Ivanka abandoned everyone else and drove away alone in the convertible sports car.
Lu Ye had no time to stew in frustration. He quickly called Chen Xi.
“Sis, I couldn’t stop Ivanka. She’s driving a red Mazda MX-5 toward the American overseas base.”
Chen Xi replied, “The main force has just landed. We’re heading out to intercept her now. You and Beauty figure out a way to catch up!”
Lu Ye warned her, “She’s extremely strong. Don’t let your guard down!”
“Understood!”

The plan had changed, and Chen Xi no longer had time to rendezvous with Lu Ye.
She had to lead the main force straight from the airport to intercept Ivanka.
Suddenly, Lu Ye pitched forward and went sprawling on the ground.
Meng Beauty came sprinting over and only then realized that Ivanka had cut Lu Ye into a bloody mess.
“Captain, are you all right?”
Lu Ye sat up cross-legged, raised his fist, and slammed it into his own body.
He struck himself with half a set of the Fists of Saving Lives and Healing Wounds, temporarily suppressing the most serious injury in his chest.
There were also more than a dozen horrifying wounds across his back, but even he could not punch his own back.
“I’m fine. Let’s go.”
The group that had come to extract Ivanka had brought more than one sports car.
Lu Ye jumped into a BMW M3, while Meng Beauty commandeered a Mitsubishi Evo.
The two cars charged onto the highway one after the other, racing madly in the direction Ivanka had fled.
...
A four-car convoy sped through the streets of Japan.
A Wuling Hongguang led the way, followed by a Porsche Panamera—formerly Su Qianqian’s car.
Behind them came Lin Zhongze’s Audi A8 and the Mercedes-Benz S600 belonging to the married couple Wei Xin and Yang Qing.
The four cars appeared to be careening about like headless flies, but in truth they were all making straight for the American overseas military base.
Liu Yiyi had tapped into reconnaissance satellites to keep Ivanka’s location under constant surveillance.
There might still be a chance to intercept her before she reached the military base.
A radio communications network had already been established.
As he drove, Lu Ye said, “I have a feeling Ivanka’s precognitive ability isn’t limitless. When I was fighting her just now, she only used it once, at a critical moment.”
“After that, she seemed like a spent arrow and became extremely weak.”
Chen Xi said, “Little brother, are you saying she’s currently unable to defend against an interception by our main force?”
“Exactly! We absolutely cannot let her escape into the American military base, or all our efforts will be wasted!”
Lu Ye was not arrogant enough to believe he could storm an American military base bare-handed.
Besides, if things reached that point, it would escalate into an international diplomatic dispute.
Ivanka would receive full protection, making her even harder to capture in the future.
The Mazda MX-5’s Soul Red streaked along Japan’s coastal highway.
Ivanka glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time. Seeing no pursuers, she gradually began to relax.
The moment she let down her guard even slightly, several cars suddenly came flying through the air from the hillside on the left.
Leading the charge was the Wuling Hongguang driven by Chen Xi!
Bang!
The Wuling Hongguang slammed directly into the side of the MX-5.
Both cars soared into the air and rolled several times before flipping upside down.
To stop Ivanka, Chen Xi had clearly risked her life in a desperate attempt to force her to stay.
