Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Eric, nonchalantly, said, "You need to understand, it's you who wants to kill me, why should I come over and fight you one-on-one? And whether I have guts or not, that's not for you to judge!"

The scar-faced man remained silent, but his face darkened to the extreme. He tightly gripped the handle of his steel battle knife and walked step by step towards Eric.

Seeing this, the four elite guards moved forward to block the scar-faced man's path.

"Step aside and let him come," Eric said with a mysterious smile.

Confused, the four elite guards glanced at Eric but dared not disobey, so they reluctantly stepped aside.

At this moment, a chilling wind blew through, and because the mahjong parlor was sparsely populated, it gave off a chilling feeling. The air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood.

The scar-faced man continued his steps, his target being Eric. However, just because the four elite guards stepped aside didn't mean Eric would engage in a one-on-one duel with him.

In front of Eric stood Tan Ailing.

The command "step aside" didn't apply to her! In Tan Ailing's mind, there was only one thing at the moment, and that was to protect the "weakened" Eric! Anyone who wanted to kill Eric had to pass her first.

One was a stunning beauty, empty-handed; the other was a scar-faced, fierce-looking man with a heavy steel knife.

At first glance, Tan Ailing seemed to be at a disadvantage. This was almost the unanimous opinion of all the elites of the Axe Gang, and even some who were somewhat sympathetic couldn't bear it.

But Tan Ailing didn't care at all. She stood steadily in front of Eric, blocking the scar-faced man.

Seeing someone blocking his way, regardless of gender or appearance, the scar-faced man roared, "Get out of the way!"

But Tan Ailing stood firm, unaffected by his shouts. Enraged, the scar-faced man swung his arm, and the steel knife swept in a heavy blow towards Tan Ailing.

Tan Ailing snorted coldly and side-kicked, directly hitting the blade.

"Bang!" The scar-faced man's wrist shook violently, and the huge shock from the blade made him involuntarily step back three steps. Tan Ailing, on the other hand, stood firm and unmoved.

This result was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Axe Gang. No one could have imagined that a seemingly delicate and beautiful woman could overpower the scar-faced man, who was known as the "second strongest" in the gang! Although leg strength was generally greater than arm strength, judging from their confrontation, the two were at least evenly matched!

It was remarkable for a woman with a standard figure to have such strength!

The scar-faced man rarely lost in tests of strength, which made him realize that the woman in front of him was not easy to deal with. He quickly calmed down, staring at Tan Ailing with his eyes fixed on her. The heavy steel knife was already in the most convenient position, ready to launch a strong and fierce attack on Tan Ailing at any time.

Tan Ailing slowly raised her right hand, pointing directly at the scar-faced man, and said in a deep voice, "If you want to kill my husband, you have to get through me first!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

A hint of excitement flashed in the scar-faced man's eyes. As the fifth-ranked among the eight top experts of the Axe Gang, he was very combative. He loved to challenge powerful opponents and often fought to the death, leaving no one alive. It could be said that he had a notorious reputation, and few people in the Shanghai underworld were afraid of his name. Faced with Tan Ailing, whose strength was "almost equal" to his, he couldn't help but feel excited, and the steel knife in his hand was itching for action.

However, when he saw Eric behind Tan Ailing, this fighting spirit immediately subsided, replaced by intense hatred.

This hatred was somewhat inexplicable. Speaking of which, Eric had only taunted a few words, and no one with a brain would believe it. But for some reason, the scar-faced man was itching with hatred and vowed to chop Eric down with his knife.

The scar-faced man glared at Eric and shouted, "Kid, you live up to your pretty boy looks, always hiding behind a woman..."

Eric had been silently lamenting since Tan Ailing stepped forward, thinking that he might not have a chance to make a move. But when the scar-faced man said this, it played right into his hands.

He lightly patted Tan Ailing's fragrant shoulder and smiled, "Ailing, let me handle this!"

Afraid of hurting Eric's "self-esteem," Tan Ailing didn't refuse immediately, but said tactfully, "But, your body..."

"Don't worry, I've already recovered!" Eric didn't lie. As early as when Chang Laosan and the scar-faced man entered, he had used the "Recovery Technique" and "Blessing Technique" on himself repeatedly, restoring his physical strength to its peak state!

After carefully scanning with his spiritual sense and confirming that Eric was no longer weak, Tan Ailing still hesitated, "Eric, why are you so eager to fight and kill..."

Eric chuckled and said, "It's not just you women who enjoy a good fight; men love it too!"

"Twisting the Meaning of Words!" Tan Ailing shot him a look and cautioned, "Be careful, this person's martial arts are not weak!"

"I know!" Eric nodded and smiled, "This person was not easy for me to pick. If it were someone else, I wouldn't even bother!"

"Why?" Tan Ailing was curious, "Does this scar-faced man have any special abilities?" Don't you see? This person also doesn't know internal energy, only relying on brute force. Compared to my current situation, relatively speaking, it's a bit..."

Indeed, having applied the "Strength Technique" and "Agility Technique" on himself, Eric's martial prowess was similar to those of external martial arts masters.

With Tan Ailing's advice and the scar-faced man's impatience, Eric finally stood in front of the scar-faced man with a chopper in hand. To match his opponent's strength, Eric used several auxiliary magic spells to enhance his strength and speed.

The scar-faced man coldly looked at Eric, then gestured and sneered contemptuously. However, such a childish provocation couldn't provoke Eric. Instead, he stared at the scar-faced man as if watching a show.

Seeing that his little trick didn't work, the scar-faced man suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Pretty boy, don't worry about your woman. Hehe, after I chop you up later, I'll naturally go and comfort her..."

Such words fueled Eric's anger, but he didn't show it. He just said calmly, "I'm not worried about her at all, because I know, with your skills, in the end, you can only comfort yourself..."

The slight laughter from the elite members of the Axe Gang behind him made the scar-faced man unable to pretend anymore. He swung the palm-wide steel knife in his hand, without saying a word, and made a swift diagonal slash toward Eric.

Eric, seeing the blade coming towards him, quickly stepped aside and retreated, while at the same time, he swung the chopper towards the scar-faced man's blade with force.

"Bang!" Eric's body shook slightly, and he stepped back a big step, obviously losing out in strength. On the other hand, the scar-faced man who repelled Eric had a triumphant smile on his face. He shook the steel knife in his hand and rushed forward again.

Knowing that he couldn't match his opponent's strength even with the help of the "Strength Technique," Eric naturally wouldn't confront him head-on. After the scar-faced man rushed up, using the speed brought by the "Agility Technique," Eric tried not to directly clash with the scar-faced man's blade, but instead, engaged in guerrilla warfare.

One slash nullified the scar-faced man's attack, immediately followed by a kick to his lower abdomen. When he dodged, Eric's fist came at him at the right moment. Although the scar-faced man narrowly avoided the punch, it still made him break out in a cold sweat.

After Eric's quick attacks, the scar-faced man was panting, having consumed nearly half of his stamina. However, under the effects of various auxiliary magic spells, Eric's stamina remained abundant.

With a grin, Eric didn't give his opponent any chance to catch his breath. The blade flashed brightly in the air, sweeping towards the scar-faced man like a swift wind.

At this moment, the scar-faced man's figure changed, unexpectedly turning around and wielding his knife at a speed not inferior to Eric's, shouting fiercely as he swung his knife, and delivered a heavy chop along Eric's blade.

The two blades clashed, emitting a deafening sound. Eric felt a huge pain in his hand, and his body involuntarily staggered back several steps.

But the scar-faced man's face was filled with a proud expression. He smirked and arrogantly said, "Kid, with just your little bit of skill, you can fight me for so long. It's already a proud thing in your life. I'll send you on your way later, and you can complain to the King of Hell. Remember, I'm the Fifth Master of the Axe Gang..."

Eric knew that the scar-faced man had deliberately pretended to be weak just now to crush his confidence. He wasn't inferior to Eric in terms of agility in body movements and was stronger than him, making it seem like he was winning this battle.

However, Eric wasn't surprised, as he had already seen through his opponent's cards with the "True Sight" spell. Even so, he couldn't avoid the scar-faced man's incoming strike. It seemed that this Gate-Crashing Saber technique was indeed just "a little bit of skill"! He would have to learn more top-notch moves in the future...

Eric didn't think much about it. At this moment, the scar-faced man took two steps forward, raised his big knife, and swung it fiercely toward Eric's head.

Abandoning the chopper, Eric shouted and engaged in a fight with the scar-faced man. This time, Eric not only didn't fall behind in moves, but he even surpassed many. In a moment, the scar-faced man had been hit by his two feet. Especially the kick to the chest was powerful, making the scar-faced man's blood churn, almost unable to catch his breath.

At this moment, a fierce light suddenly appeared in the scar-faced man's eyes. He raised his hand and dropped his knife, giving Eric a fiercely powerful chop. The blade tilted towards Eric's right side, forcing him to dodge to the left. As the scar-faced man swung his knife down with his right hand, he swiftly switched the knife to his left hand and spun to the left. As the left-hand knife rotated, it swiftly stabbed towards Eric's abdomen.

From the heavy chop to switching the knife to the left hand, to spinning and stabbing towards the opponent's abdomen, this series of actions was done in one go, without any pause or delay. It could be seen that he had practiced this move hundreds or thousands of times, and it was so skillful that it couldn't be more skilled.

This was one of his killer moves, called "Turning Knife Fatal Strike." Many people who were enemies of the Axe Gang had died under this move, and looking at the current situation, Eric seemed to be no exception.
