As the thermal weapon technology advanced, it gradually faded into obsolescence. In an unexpected twist, however, Japanese ninjas have continued to remain relevant. At that moment, Charlie noticed a subtle movement beneath him—his opponent was getting ready to activate the hidden short de within his ninja shoe.


    In fact, Tenglin Quintongtian had already positioned his toes in an S-shape, nearlypleting the maneuver. Just a slight adjustment of one centimeter in the right direction would trigger the hidden de to spring forth from his toe!


    Tenglin Quintongtian had made up his mind. He intended to create a diversion by using the sword in his hands to draw Charlie’s attention. While Charlie was focused on the shuriken, he would unleash the hidden short de from his shoes for a surprise attack.


    At that moment, both upper and lower des, along with the four sharp edges, would emerge. If even one of them struck Charlie, it would surely be fatal!


    Despite Gao Qiao Zhenzhi’s prior instructions not to kill Charlie just yet, Tenglin Quintongtian felt increasingly threatened by him and decided to ignore those orders. His priority was clear: eliminate Charlie!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With determination, he began to draw Charlie into conversation. “Sir, feel free to ask any questions. I will answer honestly!”


    Charlie nodded, inquiring, “Are you four the strongest under Takahashi Zhenzhi?”


    “Absolutely,” Tenglin Quintongtian replied confidently.


    Charlie frowned, a hint of disdain creeping into his voice. “I find it hard to believe that the four of you are truly skilled. Isn’t your expertise limited to throwing knives? And judging by your current state, it seems you’re struggling. With those skills, no one in China would even bother to watch you perform in the streets, and you’d be left behind.”


    Feeling insulted, Tenglin Quintongtian snapped back, “That’s nonsense! My shuriken uracy is unmatched. I can slice the wings off a fly from 100 meters away!”


    Charlie arched an eyebrow. “Is that so?”


    Tenglin Quintongtian asserted, “Of course! If you doubt me, I can demonstrate!”


    Charlie smirked dismissively. “Go ahead, put on your show.”


    Realizing the moment had arrived, Tenglin Quintongtian gritted his teeth and sneered, “Alright! Just watch!”


    With that, he abruptly thrust both swords towards Charlie!


    Simultaneously, he subtly rubbed his feet against the ground, causing the short des from his toes to spring out instantly!


    Without hesitation, Tenglin Quintongtian lunged forward to kick Charlie!


    Charlie was already prepared, a look of contempt flickering across his face.


    He remained still, merely snapping his fingers, releasing two invisible forces that slightly deflected the iing shurikens.


    Then, he moved his swords in a swift motion resembling the Chinese character “eight,” effortlessly dodging Charlie!<fn2ff3> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? ?ovelFind</fn2ff3>


    Tenglin Quintongtian’s face turned pale with fear at this unexpected turn of events. He could only hope for sess with his toe de!


    A gust of wind apanied his kick aimed at Charlie.


    Charlie’s expression remained unfazed as he swiftly countered, seizing Tenglin Quintongtian’s ankle with a tight grip.


    Tenglin Quintongtian noticed the short de from his toe was merely inches away from Charlie, yet he found himself utterly immobilized, unable to advance even slightly!


    Charlie’s voice dripped with scorn as he taunted, “Since you enjoy using short des so much, I’ll grant your wish and provide an ending to your story!”


    Tenglin Quintongtian, gripped by fear, pleaded, “No! Please…”


    Before he could finish, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his ankle and knee!


    With a sickening crack, Tenglin Quintongtian watched in horror as his calf bent unnaturally forward from the knee!


    Charlie had effortlessly broken his leg with one hand!


    Overwhelmed by excruciating pain, Tenglin Quintongtian screamed, “Ah!!!”


    But in an instant, his cries were silenced.


    The short de from his own shoe had prated his mouth, the bloody tip protruding gruesomely from the back of his neck!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
