I teach judo in Tokyo.

......

Amidst the chaotic shouts and cries, the lower-ranking guards inside the villa sprang into action.

Snake Fang Jiuxin listened to the chaotic footsteps outside the door, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the powerful figure sitting awkwardly on the sofa.

He lowered his voice, his voice hoarse like that of a wild beast as he demanded, "Bruce, tell me, what's going on here?!"

The powerful figure known as Blue instinctively stood up, muttering incredulously, "No, it can't be! Before I left... they were clearly about to finish off the enemy..."

At this moment, continuous gunfire rang out throughout the entire villa community.

Meanwhile, Sosuke and Shin Kyogoku had each stormed into a villa.

***

Chapter 258 Speedrun

Just as the Countermeasures Bureau's combat team was briefly blocked outside the community by core members of the Serpent Bone Society, who were also subordinates of the World Serpent.

Sosuke and Shin Kyogoku each chose a villa to "infiltrate".

Before they even entered, they had already seen several enemies rushing out of each of the two villas. These enemies were incredibly agile and seemed to be far beyond the average person.

These individuals, who reached the ferocity level but were not particularly strong, formed the "backbone force" of the Serpent Bone Society supported by the Serpent of the World.

But not top-tier strength.

Therefore, in such situations, the core members must go out together with the next lower-level personnel to engage the enemy, thus buying time for the "core members" at the next higher level to retreat.

As these people left, the number of figures hiding by the windows and behind the doors immediately decreased by more than half in the thermal imaging field of the AR glasses.

Now, only the core personnel should remain inside the villa.

Unlike Shin Kyogoku's proper infiltration, which involved climbing to the rooftop balcony of the villa.

Sosuke leaped into the villa, smashing through a first-floor window.

As he flew through the air, he had already seen what was happening behind the window.

He barged into the lobby on the first floor.

There is a person in the seat closest to the window.

Then there are two people on the diagonal.

From upstairs, you can see two people in the first-floor corridor.

Then, he landed on the ground, rolled, and stood up.

In an instant, the straight blade in his right hand swung diagonally upwards, instantly killing the nearest member of the Serpent Bone Society.

Immediately afterwards, his figure flashed, rapidly advancing in a "Z" shaped trajectory.

Using the furniture as cover, they successfully evaded the crossfire from enemies who had already drawn their pistols from the opposite corner.

The next second, he hid behind the sofa, took out several playing cards from his body, and with a flick of his wrist, threw all the playing cards out at once.

Several playing cards flew in deadly arcs, heading precisely towards the locations of the two enemies he had previously identified.

The moment a muffled groan was heard, he suddenly sprang out from behind the sofa.

He lowered his body and rushed forward at a speed that was almost touching the ground, quickly bypassing the hall and arriving at the location where the two people had been.

Despite being scratched by the playing cards, the two opponents were quick-witted enough to immediately raise their guns and fire.

Although these two were just ordinary fierce-level experts, they were sharpshooters specializing in marksmanship.

With the powerful offensive capabilities of firearms, combined with their superhuman physical control and reflexes, they could achieve great things.

The combined destructive power of the two is enough to give even a top-tier expert a headache.

After all, even the strongest experts still have flesh and blood bodies, and can be injured or even killed if they are hit by bullets.

However, Sosuke was no ordinary master.

His eyes flashed the moment he saw the two men raise their guns, and with a step, his figure disappeared in an instant.

SSR-level movement skill - Beyond Flames!

The principle is to unleash the power of the leg muscles in an overloaded manner during the sprint, and instantly complete a change of direction to get past the opponent in a "<" trajectory.

The effects observed during use will vary from person to person.

If an ordinary person were to use it, it would appear to others as a quick back-and-forth motion.

However, if it is used by a monster like Sousuke, then even in the eyes of a fierce or even supreme opponent, it is almost no different from teleportation.

The two elite members of the Snake Bone Society paled in shock when they saw Sousuke "disappear" out of thin air.

But before he could react, he was jolted awake.

The next second, their upper bodies fell diagonally.

As the two men fell to the ground, cut into four pieces, Sousuke, who had just finished wielding his sword, appeared behind them.

Unfortunately, neither of these two guys were above level 25.

Otherwise, the system could have been upgraded at the same time.

Sosuke kept moving and quickly rushed upstairs after killing the three elites on the first floor.

As soon as I stepped out of the stairwell, a curved blade came crashing down in my face.

Zongsuke immediately raised his knife to block it.

"when!"

Sparks flew as the metal clanged together.

Sousuke, with his sharp eyes, noticed a noticeable crease on the blade of the curved sword that he had deflected.

His own "Orichalcos steel" blade still gleamed like a pool of autumn water.

It's indeed a fine knife!

However, there's no time to admire my weapon now.

The instant the scimitar was parried, a sharp glint of light shot right before his eyes.

It was a swift sword with a long, slender, and sharp blade!

At this moment, Sosuke's long sword had just been swung out and was difficult to withdraw, and he was also blocked at the stairwell and it was inconvenient for him to dodge.

For the vast majority of people, this situation is no different from a desperate situation.

However, for Sousuke, it was only of average quality.

He has several ways to deal with this situation.

But he chose the simplest and most convenient method—raising his left hand to block directly.

The sharp, swift sword instantly pierced the back of his left hand, but was immediately blocked by his Orichalcos armor, the blade bending violently and then bouncing away.

After thwarting two deadly attacks, Sosuke had a clear understanding of the situation.

Unlike the two "gun users" downstairs, the two upstairs are "weapon users" who use blades.

The one who struck him first with a curved blade used the defensive technique "Military Knife 24".

Another person wields a swift sword that resembles a large rapier, and their defensive skill is "Supreme Arts 25".

With a fleeting glance, Sousuke quickly stepped forward, once again using a movement technique that surpassed even the flames, directly bypassing the swift swordsman and rushing towards the saber-wielding man who had been deflected by his powerful block.

Immediately following was a powerful and heavy "Kisara Heavy Slash".

The swordsman reacted extremely quickly, and in the face of Sosuke's attack, he hurriedly steadied himself and raised his sword to parry.

"Ding!"

"Break!"

The two blades clashed, the military knife was instantly cleaved in two, and then he was cut in two.

The knife-wielder died without ever realizing how quickly he had lost.

Sosuke once again easily killed the enemy by taking advantage of the weapon.

However, it's not over yet.

As Sosuke swung his sword to kill the swordsman, he already felt a chill run down his spine.

That was a warning of danger given to him by his keen sixth sense.

He jumped right from the spot.

Then, as he jumped, his body spun rapidly in the air, using centrifugal force to slash out with his sword.

Swallows return!

The blade struck the swift sword precisely, cleaving it into a ">" shape.

After landing, he sheathed his sword at his side and assumed a "flat-eyed" stance with his body parallel to the ground.

The next instant, to the astonishment of the opponent, three thrusts shot out like bullets!

Chest, throat, face!

Three bright red blood blossoms bloomed, and the swift swordsman fell to the ground with a look of unwillingness.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Sosuke saw that another permission upgrade requirement had been met, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then they set off again, quickly kicking open all the doors on the second and third floors, completing a thorough search in no time.

nobody.

Sosuke wasn't very lucky.

The villa he chose was not the one where Snake Fang Jiuxin was stationed.

It's time to go support the other side.

......

Chapter 259 Super Powerful New Authority

Time was of the essence, so Sosuke didn't linger at the scene for long.

He rushed out of the villa as fast as he could.

Then we saw two people rush out from the front gate of another villa.

Strictly speaking, it was one person carrying another person out.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Atsushi Yokoi and one of the powerful figures who had rescued him and then left the two of them behind.

[Bruce (33), Mild danger]

Self-defense techniques - Muay Thai 28

This powerful man named Blue was burly and tall, wearing a hoodie with the hood pulled up to keep a low profile.

The moment the two met, Blue recognized Sosuke.

He stared at Atobe Sousuke in shock, then asked incredulously in English, "How did you survive!?"

On his back, pale-faced Atsushi Yokoi stared at Sousuke, speechless, his face filled with terror.

His "mad blood" has subsided after he fell into a coma and received treatment and serum neutralization, but due to the prolonged treatment time, he is now in a state of complete weakness.

However, after regaining consciousness, he was still able to clearly remember the circumstances of his madness.

At that time, power surged continuously from his body, making him feel that his strength had surpassed that of his master, Snake Fang Hisanobu, reaching the "mad" level.

However, even someone as powerful as herself was easily defeated by Atobe Sousuke.

No one knew better than him how terrifying the boy in front of him was.

"Run!" he weakly urged his companion.

Then, as he wished, his companion threw him off his back.

He turned and ran away amidst the shocked and terrified expression on Atsushi Yokoi's face.
