Part 7

Chen crossed both of his armed in front of his torso and kicked the rack in front of him to gain leverage over his body to jump backwards in mid-air, the punch landed on his forearms, and sent Chen flying across the room, knocking over three racks before hitting the floor. But due to the evasive move taken by Chen, he had taken the minimum as the impact of the punch was not fully connected with his body.

"That was a nice move, lad! But I wonder how many more you can take?" the Bear taunted. Chen realized that in terms of strength, he was at a disadvantage, to beat this man; he knew he has to rely on his speed and agility. Chen got up and before he could find his footing, the Bear lunged at him with another punch, after seeing his attacks, Chen knew he won't be hit with the same attack twice, Chen ducked down to avoid the furious punishment, the punch had blasted through the wall and left a huge hole. Chen took this opportunity to taking down the opponent by sweeping the opponent's legs with a downward sweeping kick. The ground shook as the huge man landed hard on his face. Chen then jumped on Bear's back and raised his palm, taking aim at the man's cervical vertebrate, getting ready for the final blow. But the man was too strong; he got up even when Chen was on his back. Chen nearly lost his balance as he jumped off Bear. Bear's face grew red with anger, he began to take wild swings towards Chen and knocking over racks nearby with every strike. Chen knew that an angry opponent is an easy opponent, the attacks were more obvious than ever then, Chen ducked left and right and avoided every punch with ease. Bear got even angrier as he misses every time. One of the punches landed on the floor, Chen stepped his left foot down, trapping Bear's arm on the floor, then Chen took this chance to strike the opponent's ear with a palm strike, causing him to be disorientated, this left Chen open to land six chain straight rapid punches towards the opponent's nose, mouth and throat. The opponent was spilling blood from his nose and mouth, after the attack, Chen let go of the man's arm by moving his foot aside and he stood in a horse stance to generate power, then with lightning speed, he lunged and stroke. Blood splashed across the room as Chen pierced the huge man's throat with a precise stabbing strike with his hand. The fight was over; the huge man fell lifelessly on the floor as blood gushes out of his wound.

Chen packed up a few grenades from the armoury and now he is one floor away from his objective.
