Chapter 162: Sister Gui's Bad Luck

Before he could finish his sentence, Wujue threw a punch with a terrifyingly fast speed.

It directly shattered the guy's nasal bridge. Moving like a fierce wolf, Wujue lunged at his opponent and growled, "I'm so used to fighting zombies that I'm afraid a single blow might take a life."

With that, he unleashed a flying kick, sending the fellow hurtling a dozen meters away. The man crashed straight into a distant road barrier, tumbled over a few times, and plunged outside to become food for the zombies.

This left the remaining bodyguards shocked and furious, prompting them all to attack. Two of the nearest bodyguards swarmed him from left and right. One threw a fierce punch straight at Wujue's face, while the other dropped low to deliver a sweeping low kick, intending to leave Wujue helpless against attacks from both high and low angles.

To their surprise, Wujue's reaction was even faster. He reached out and grabbed the incoming fist, then leaped upward into mid-air to evade the low sweep. Following that, he clamped his legs around the torso of the man whose fist he had caught, utilizing a heavy-drop technique. Combining his own strength with the three-to-four-hundred-pound weight of the two men, he slammed directly down onto the legs of the other bodyguard.

With a loud crack, the leg bone of the second man fractured. Without pausing, Wujue maintained his grip on the first man's arm and applied joint-locking techniques. Rending bone apart with a few twists, he directly dislocated the man's arm.

Taking advantage of their shrill cries of pain, he shifted into a sitting posture and twisted their arms and legs together like woven dough until they were hopelessly entangled.

Looking toward the few remaining bodyguards who were charging forward, he saw they had already been utterly routed and defeated by Anyi and Xiao Han, proving completely incapable of putting up a fight.

Wujue hoisted the two beaten men up, looked toward Sister Gui, who was staring in utter shock from the second-floor office, and shouted fiercely, "Here is your subordinate, returned to you!"

With that, he hoisted the two unfortunate bodyguards and hurled them directly upward. They shattered the second-floor glass, scaring Sister Gui so badly that she fell straight to the ground, a mixture of terror and fury washing over her.

"Let's go up!" Such divine strength was enough to stun everyone present. The defeated bodyguards were completely dumbfounded, and not a single one dared to step forward to block their path.

The trio thus led the men of the South China Gang into the building.

The spacious building, however, was completely empty and eerily desolate.

A few scattered women were hiding fearfully in various corners, not daring to make direct eye contact with Wujue and his companions.

Anyi frowned and muttered, "What kind of place is this, anyway? So bizarre!"

"Who knows?" Xiao Han also felt something was amiss. He hurried over to the elevator banks and pressed the call button, preparing to head upstairs.

After waiting for a long time, the elevator finally descended. When the doors opened, a tall woman stood inside, trembling as she stammered, "Welcome, the three of you. Please come... come up."

Wujue glanced at her and asked, "Are you one of Sister Gui's subordinates? Except for those bodyguards, are all the people here women?"

The woman hurriedly nodded, her chest heaving as she replied, "Yes, Big Sister runs a nightclub, and everyone here is part of our sisterhood."

"So she really is a female boss," Xiao Han muttered, sticking out his tongue slightly. He stepped into the elevator and said to the woman, "Don't worry, as long as you don't harbor any malicious thoughts, we won't act recklessly."

Anyi and Wujue followed them in, stepping casually into the elevator as they asked, "Which floor?"

"The fifth floor!" The woman paused for a moment, blurting out the answer before shaking her head. "No, wait. The elevator system changes above the third floor. You have to walk from the third floor onward."

"What a hassle!" Wujue remarked, pressing the button. The elevator slowly ascended and finally came to a halt on the third floor.

When the three of them stepped out of the elevator once more, they discovered even more women crowding the corridor. However, these people seemed unaware of what had transpired downstairs; the moment they spotted Wujue and Xiao Han, they actually swarmed around them.

"Oh my, it's been so long since we had visitors. What's this? You're new faces—did you just arrive in this place?" The women began to tease them playfully, reaching out to touch and stroke them.

Xiao Han's face flushed red, but Wujue pulled him away, saying, "Ladies, please make way. We aren't here for pleasure, so be careful a gun might accidentally go off and hurt someone."

With that, he flashed the pistol at his waist to warn the women against any reckless behavior. Princess Anyi followed close behind, chiming in, "How can you be so shameless? This is already the end of the world, yet you still let yourselves be used by others?"

Her words caused the women's faces to flush with anger. One of them retorted mockingly, "So what if I like doing this? So what if I like hooking men? What does a country girl like you know? What's the matter, are you going to murder us?"

She grabbed at her clothes and tried to rub herself against Wujue. Realizing they were purely looking for trouble, Wujue directly pulled out the green crystal he carried with him. Bathed in the radiant green light emitted by the crystal, the women abruptly recoiled in retreat.

"If you want to play dirty, it won't be that easy!" Wujue turned back and demanded of the woman from the elevator, "Where are the stairs? Lead the way!"

The woman hurriedly scrambled out and led them in a panic toward the stairwell. As the three of them moved along and pushed open the stairwell door, a figure suddenly lunged out.

With a vicious slash, a blade came hacking directly toward Anyi's forehead. Quick as lightning, Anyi raised her arm to block, and the close-fitting bracer on her wrist directly knocked the opponent's blade flying.

Taking a closer look, she saw that the attacker was a heavily built woman of about her own height, looking extremely fierce and intimidating.

Realizing her strike had failed, the woman discarded her weapon altogether and lunged forward furiously.

Anyi grabbed her by the wrist, pulled her aside, and shouted, "You guys go on ahead, I'll hold her off. Since we're both women, it's easier for me to fight."

Wujue did not hesitate, quickly rushing upward with Xiao Han. The two of them fought their way through the fourth floor, where a few more women launched sneak attacks. Xiao Han took the initiative to stay behind to hold the line, leaving Wujue to proceed alone into the fifth-floor corridor.

This time, the surroundings were finally much quieter, and no more fierce women emerged to launch ambushes.

Relying on his ability to discern position through the sound of the wind, Wujue sensed the likely locations of Huron and Sister Gui, and walked straight ahead.

Crossing the corridor, he reached the largest empty room in the center. Sister Gui was standing there speaking with a sneer. Clearly shaken by Wujue and the others, she was still nursing her anger as she ranted, "Boss Wu, are these the people you invited over? Is this supposed to make a fool out of me? What on earth is the meaning of this? What are you trying to pull? For so many years, we've minded our own business and never crossed lines like this. Are you trying to force me, your old sister, to break ties?"

Huron replied calmly and firmly, "Listen here, Guizhi, what are you acting so tough for? Don't assume everyone in this world is afraid of you. I, old Wu, advocate harmony and have always wanted to avoid damaging friendly relations, but you keep pushing people into a corner. What kind of era is this? Those outsiders roaming around don't play by our old rules—you'd better watch out before some fierce newcomer beats you to death!"

"As if I'm scared!" Sister Gui scoffed coldly. "You're the one joking around. Don't forget, in this neck of the woods, could your South China Gang have ever survived without me, Guizhi? For decades, even your previous boss didn't dare utter a peep of nonsense, let alone mess with me! Do you remember that I still have powerful backers behind me? Would you like me to invite them over and clean out your backyard?"

Hearing this, Wujue realized that Sister Gui indeed had someone influential backing her up. He stepped right out from the shadows and said, "In that case, let's not waste any time. Why don't we lay our cards on the table right now, face-to-face and clear as day?"

His sudden appearance stunned the two adversaries locked in confrontation inside the room.

Sister Gui had already witnessed Wujue's terrifying strength earlier. Now, glaring at him as he tracked her down to her lair, she put on a dark, gloomy expression and said, "Young man, you've got quite a temper, daring to challenge me, Sister Gui! This matter isn't over today. Let's see who has the last laugh."

Wujue responded with a cold smile. "You call me a young man? I'm afraid you have no idea who I really am."

He strode into the room, his footsteps leaving over a dozen deep indentations in the floor as he declared, "Originally, I didn't want to lecture anyone, but this humble monk was a monk at the Dalin Temple over a hundred years ago and accidentally traveled through time to this era. If I were to explain my origins, you probably wouldn't understand even if you listened for three days and three nights. In terms of age, you are merely a junior!"

Sister Gui was momentarily taken aback, failing to process this immediately. Then she recovered and snapped, "Fine, fine, you certainly have a way with words. Let's set that aside and talk about the present—just what do you think you're doing barging into my territory?"

"What do I think?" Wujue said with a smile. "This world has already changed. Since you lack the ability to deal with the zombies, the task falls to us to handle them. Isn't that right, Huron?"

Sitting to the side, Huron—who had all along been maintaining his disguise as Boss Wu—finally stood up. He shed his false appearance, reverting to his true self, and walked up to Sister Gui.

Looking at her panicked expression, he said quietly, "I'm sorry, but you no longer have the right to choose!"
