"it becomes awful and clicking sound from the drive extruder."
If you have the stock plastic extruder (on top of the E motor) then then pressure arm is prone to cracking. The result is that the filament doesn't get pushed. 100% of the plastic extruder arms fail. If you have a plastic one take it off and look at the underside for cracks.
The Creality printers (I have an Ender 3 Pro) are known for blockages within the hot end at the end of the bowden tube. When the extruder skips steps, it means something is blocking the flow of filament (or cracked extruder arm).
When the print head moves left and right on the X beam it causes the bowden tube to rotate in the fitting on top of the heat exchanger. That back-and-forth rotation eventually allows the bowden tube to move away from the back of the nozzle causing a gap there. Retractions pull molten plastic into the gap causing problems with filament flow.
You would need to take the hot end apart, clean it out, and trim 5 or 6mm off the bowden tube, then reassemble.
You may have a clogged nozzle, but more likely it's a cracked arm or a blockage in the hot end.
The Gcode looks fine. There are no missing lines or extrusions.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
