Chapter 43 - the battle for survival
The second soldier flinched, clumsily aiming his gun barrel at Lily. But her speed far exceeded their imagination. She lunged forward, disarming him with a clean arm bar.
A scream of pain rang out. Lily spun around and followed up with a crushing elbow strike to the back of his neck, knocking him out on the spot. Every movement was incredibly decisive, bearing the heavy imprint of Grace's martial arts.
Just then, the third man rushed in, swinging a razor-sharp dagger. The blade grazed Lily's sleeve, tearing a thin strip of fabric. She took a step back, maintaining a safe distance.
He smirked, thinking the rich young lady was terrified. But Lily merely observed his every breath coldly, searching for an opening. She recalled the lesson Grace had once taught her.
"Never let the opponent see your fear. Use their own strength against them." Lily shifted her stance, faking a stumble to trick the soldier into lunging straight forward.
The exact moment the blade was mere centimeters away, Lily leaned back and used both legs to kick fiercely into his chest. The momentum sent the assassin flying backward, slamming hard into the wall.
He slumped down unconscious. Three hardened soldiers had been taken down in less than three minutes. However, a slow, sinister clapping sound suddenly echoed from the end of the hallway.
