Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 838 - 837: Glass Bullets

"You! Bastard! You pervert! Then get lost! Who needs your rescue anyway!"Chu Ge's shout was still echoing in the air, when Mu Xiaoting screamed right after, her heart racing wildly, her once weak legs regaining a bit of strength. She finally saw a glimmer of hope and was ready to rush towards Chu Ge once he got closer.

Though from the current situation, this hope was still so slim it was negligible, doing something was at least much better than doing nothing at all.

Chu Ge felt secretly pleased; it didn't matter if Mu Xiaoting had truly had a breakthrough or if she was just flustered by him. In any case, when Mu Xiaoting shouted, it had quite a good effect, and the masked man's eyes exposed to the outside showed a bit more astonishment.

At this point, the distance between him and Mu Xiaoting was three meters, where the fragments of glass on the ground were the most concentrated.

Even though this might not be the best distance, Chu Ge couldn't worry about much else. He was well aware that this trick could only buy him a little time at best.

If he continued to approach, the two kidnappers opposite would definitely become more vigilant. In reality, under the current circumstances, being able to get this close while the helmeted men on either side did nothing to him was already more than he could ask for.

Seizing the moment when the masked man was staring at Mu Xiaoting with a peculiar look, as Chu Ge's right foot lifted and fell again, his body lowered slightly, and with a fierce push off the ground with the ball of his right foot, he suddenly leaped forward, rushing ahead.

"Ssshh"

Another fresh wound appeared on Chu Ge's foot, as a piece of glass over two centimeters long pointed upwards, embedding almost entirely into his flesh. Even though Chu Ge was fully concentrated on rescuing, the intense, piercing pain still made him clench his teeth tightly.

After all, the nerves in the arch of the foot are incredibly sensitive to various sensations.

Directly in front of him, there were routes with relatively smaller pieces of glass, but he had been moving straight forward. If he made even the slightest directional adjustment, it would signal the enemy.

So to increase the possibility of saving Mu Xiaoting, he had to do this, no matter how great the pain; he had to endure it. Moreover... the shards of glass sticking to his foot were useful to him!

As the saying goes, details determine success or failure, especially at this crucial moment; Chu Ge could not allow himself even a momentary lapse in his gaze!

When Chu Ge's right foot pushed against the ground, completing a stepping motion, a bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the night sky, illuminating the dark world for an instant, lighting up Chu Ge's resolute and cold eyes, showing his body in mid-air, and the scarlet blood spurting from his foot.

Simultaneously, it illuminated Mu Xiaoting's sudden mixture of anxiety, anticipation, and delight in her expression.

And also, the turbaned man's eyes, which hadn't shifted from Chu Ge, remained as indifferent as ever, akin to a dead pool of water, even when Chu Ge violently sprung into action.

"Hmph"

The turbaned man let out a slight nasal noise, representing utmost confidence and disdain, as his large hand suddenly reached out towards Mu Xiaoting.

The turbaned man had every reason for his absolute confidence, in that he had a distinct advantage in distance compared to Chu Ge.

In his view, the differing distances between them and Mu Xiaoting already decided the outcome.

All he needed to do was extend his hand, firmly controlling Mu Xiaoting. No matter how fast Chu Ge's moves might be, it would all be futile, and after that... Chu Ge would have no more chances for any tricks.

Of course, he had to admit, Chu Ge picked the perfect timing, and his actions were as swift as lightning. If he weren't there, Chu Ge might have actually succeeded.

After all, everything depended on the fact that he never once relaxed his vigilance against Chu Ge. If he had been dazed for even a moment, Chu Ge's plan might have succeeded.

However, since he wasn't dazed, all of Chu Ge's plans were vain and petty tricks!

What the turbaned man could foresee, wouldn't Chu Ge foresee as well?

The answer was, of course, no!

From the very beginning, he focused his attention much more on the silently lurking turbaned man than on the masked man. As a saying from Hua Country goes, "A silent dog bites."

The pain he endured while walking on the scattered glass, the blood from his feet, wasn't for nothing!

Since he had no weapons on him, he would use these tools granted by his enemies!

Just as the man in the headscarf reached out a large hand toward Mu Xiaoting, to be precise, the moment before that, Chu Ge's slightly curled right leg fiercely kicked out in mid-air.

As Chu Ge swung his right leg, several shards of glass embedded in the sole of his foot shot out along with the blood dripping from Chu Ge's foot, aiming straight at the headscarf man's outstretched hand towards Mu Xiaoting.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sound of cutting through the air arose, and the glass shards were like bullets moving at lightning speed, far faster than the headscarf man's movement! As for the blood on Chu Ge's foot, it acted as a smokescreen to obscure the headscarf man's vision!

This was the double safeguard Chu Ge improvised, whether the headscarf man got hit by these shards or he was skilled enough to dodge them, Chu Ge's main goal was to buy time.

As long as there was a moment's delay, he could free Mu Xiaoting from the enemy's control. Even if a fierce battle ensued, at least he wouldn't be so passive.

Chu Ge's intuition was spot on; the headscarf man's reaction was indeed astonishingly fast. Even though he never imagined Chu Ge would use such a strange tactic, when a cold glint flashed in the air, he abruptly halted his movement.

Immediately, the headscarf man spun his foot on the ground, and his body moved like a whirled windmill, tracing an unpredictable arc. Not only did he evade all those shards, but he also ghostly executed a small "S"-shaped maneuver, once again reaching for the utterly stunned Mu Xiaoting.

Chu Ge's heart tightened; his actions were already swift and unexpected, yet the headscarf man's fluid movements were so smooth, without the slightest delay!

An expert can be recognized from a single move, and through this brief confrontation, Chu Ge felt a heavy sense of gravity; this man was a master! At least close to someone of Liang Xiao's caliber!

The headscarf man's current position was behind Mu Xiaoting, intending to choke Mu Xiaoting's neck with his arm. Even if Chu Ge still had the capability to attack, and he could fling the glass shards from his left foot like bullets, he simply couldn't do it.

Because the headscarf man's goal was not only to control Mu Xiaoting but also to use her body as his shield!

Worse still, facing such sudden changes, Mu Xiaoting instinctively screamed, her body shivering from fear.

Chu Ge couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration; being in mid-air, executing a precise attack was difficult enough, let alone the fact that he had been struggling for half the night. Just getting here had consumed a lot of his stamina, and now he had lost so much blood. Plus, with Mu Xiaoting's erratic movements, he simply couldn't guarantee not hurting her.

Faced with the headscarf man's rapid reflexes and precise judgment, though it was not the time for admiration, Chu Ge couldn't help but secretly praise such cunning! Such skill! And felt regret for Mu Xiaoting's response.

Actually, in that brief moment, Mu Xiaoting had a chance to run towards him. Just a couple of steps, or even just one step, could have turned the situation around dramatically.

Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoting was a pampered young lady who hadn't weathered any storms. Just the fact that she hadn't been scared senseless and managed to scream was already commendable, so she couldn't be blamed for this.

All of these events, though complex to describe, happened in an instant. Besides Chu Ge and the headscarf man, everyone else hadn't yet realized what was happening.

And in this flash of light, Chu Ge made a new judgment; given the circumstances, directly seizing Mu Xiaoting was clearly no longer viable. Therefore, he had to take a roundabout approach and try a different method.

With a swift decision made in his heart, Chu Ge still charged toward the headscarf man on the surface.

Ha! Was he completely losing his cool, unable to see the situation clearly, and making a desperate fight like a cornered beast? How foolish!

The headscarf man's eyes glinted with a cold smile. He initially intended to use his forearm to choke Mu Xiaoting from the front but instead decided to grab her neck from behind and lift her up.

No matter what attack Chu Ge launched, Mu Xiaoting would become his shield.

Now's the moment!

Meeting Mu Xiaoting's terrified eyes, Chu Ge grinned at her, suddenly curling his legs in mid-air, and with a "thud", he crashed to the ground, rolling over to the masked man's side.

Chu Ge's actions once again took everyone by surprise, but the masked man's reaction wasn't slow either. Seeing Chu Ge approaching, he displayed a merciless cold smile and kicked toward Chu Ge's head.

"Watch out, Chu Ge!"

Seeing the masked man raise his leg, Mu Xiaoting's face turned even paler, worried that if Chu Ge's head took such a heavy blow, the already dire situation would become even worse!

Hearing Mu Xiaoting's fearful shout, the corner of the masked man's lips curled even higher.

The headscarf man placed Mu Xiaoting back on the ground. As he turned his head, his usually calm eyes finally showed a change. His pupils shrank as he silently cursed under his breath!
