Chapter 243: What’s With Those Numbers

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

“Run!” When Lin Sanjiu wrote that word, Rena had also thought of the same thing. Among the three of them, two of them were badly wounded, and so the only one who had some strength to fight was Rena. However, she had already used up all her Ripple Spheres, which were supposed to be her trump card.

As the girl was a Growth-type, her combat ability wasn’t very strong to begin with. Right now, she had to take care of her brother and Lin Sanjiu. Furthermore, she didn’t know what was the number on her body. The probability of her winning a fight with Zhu Mingchun, who was in perfect combat condition, was too low. Rena made her mind up, she tightened her grip on her brother’s arms and ran without even looking back.

“Do you all think that you can run away from me?” A wild laughter rang out behind Rena. “You’re too naive. Since fate had intended for you guys to get rid of Derik and Hannie, it means that I am destined to be the big winner here!”

Zhu Mingchun was obviously so pleased with the turn of events that he didn’t think too much. As he ran after them, he laughed happily. His loud laughter scared Rena so much that she ran like a lamb that was chased by a hound.

Even though Rena wasn’t slow, she was carrying a person on her shoulders and she wasn’t wearing any shoes. She had used all the strength she could muster to run, but the distance between them and Zhu Mingchun gradually shrunk.

Rena knew that if she continued running, he would catch up with them eventually. Her anxiety drove her out of her wits. Just as she hesitated over whether she should just stop and fight to the death with that man, the skull on her shoulder suddenly rose. The skull turned and flew in the opposite direction.

“She’s almost half dead, does she still want to fight?” Worried, Rena stopped before she could even consider her options. She placed her brother on the ground and turned to run toward Lin Sanjiu.

Lin Sanjiu heard a sound behind her. When she turned to look, she was furious. She thought that her plan should be easily understood when she turned back. She wanted to give the siblings more time to escape. With her higher consciousness form, she could always fly up into the sky if she couldn’t hold that man back. Presumably, Zhu Mingchun probably didn’t have any sort of Special Item to chase after her.

However, she didn’t expect that Rena would foolishly turn back for her just because she didn’t spell out the entire plan. It was such a wasted opportunity. She really hated that she didn’t have a mouth right now!

“That’s right.” Zhu Mingchun lowered his face creepily, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. Clearly, he was different from his companion, Hannie. He didn’t like to play any cat and mouse games. He bent slightly and rushed over without saying a word. contemporary romance

Zhu Mingchun was a physical combatant. His abilities were all skewed for physical combat. Before he got close, Lin Sanjiu already noticed his arms turning silver at a very fast speed. Under the dark sky, they seemed to have a metallic sheen.

Before Zhu Mingchun’s punch reached Rena, it had already created a draft of air. If Rena was hit by that punch, she would definitely be badly hurt. Lin Sanjiu gathered the little amount of higher consciousness she had and swooshed up to his face, taking advantage of her size. Meanwhile, Rena had already taken out her fly-whisk. She stooped down and swiped Zhu Mingchun’s legs.

Zhu Mingchun wasn’t flustered by the two simultaneous attacks. He dodged the fly-whisk skillfully and threw an upper-hook with his steel-like fist at Lin Sanjiu. Considering the strength of her current higher consciousness, Lin Sanjiu did not dare to counter the attack with force. When she condensed her higher consciousness, she was tangible. She released her higher consciousness with a ‘bang’ in the air. Zhu Mingchun’s fist passed through Lin Sanjiu’s smoke-like form. Before he could react, he suddenly jumped backward. Rena had aimed another attack at him.

After they exchanged a few blows, they created some distance between them. Lin Sanjiu and Rena looked at each other. They couldn’t help feeling worried. Zhu Mingchun had not brought out his weapon. After he fought bare fist with the both of them, they knew that they couldn’t deal with him. If he were to use any sort of Special Item, the situation would become worse.

“Rena had already wasted the chance to run away. Under such circumstances, we just have to fight.” Just as this thought surfaced in Lin Sanjiu’s mind. She saw Zhu Mingchun pulling out a war banner with his left hand.

The dark red war banner unfolded in the air. It started waving noisily in the air, even though there wasn’t any victory. Zhu Mingchun chuckled and all his bones started making crackling sounds. His body grew by about ten feet, and within a short time he was huge, almost like a prehistoric creature. He suddenly had a very threatening aura.

“Oh no!” Rena couldn’t help muttering.

Zhu Mingchun rolled his eyes and looked down at the girl from high above. He let out a vicious roar. His mammoth-like body moved and he smashed his huge left fist down on Rena, using half his body weight…

“You can die once first!” Zhu Mingchun’s voice echoed in the dark. It was so loud that the rubble from the collapsed building vibrated.

Rena couldn’t help letting out a sharp cry. Zhu Mingchun’s fist was almost the size of half her body. Her leg was injured so she couldn’t dodge as fast as she usually could. As the huge fist, almost the size of a hill, loomed over her, casting its shadow, Lin Sanjiu screamed involuntarily in her heart and tried her best to rush forward—

Just then, a piece of yellowish white shadow swept past her. “Smack!” Just as Zhu Mingchun’s fist was about to reach Rena, that thing hit the man’s fist.

“Huh? ” Lin Sanjiu watched in a daze as that shadow disappeared into the air. Zhu Mingchun’s fist, which was clearly going to hit its target, suddenly hit the ground, missing Rena as if he had swerved his arm.

“Brother! You’re awake!” The teenage girl who had a close shave with death rolled and crawled away. She looked up and yelled delightedly, “You used your almanac?”

Reno lay with his chest on the ground. Before the blood on the side of his mouth had dried, he had vomited another mouthful of blood. His face was so white that it was almost comparable to a duoluozhong. He took a few breaths before he finally replied, “Yes…”

“From the looks of it, his injuries were far worse than organ trauma… ” Lin Sanjiu was worried.

Then, she heard Reno speaking again, “Energies for the day make it suitable for relocation, suitable for festival feasts… unsuitable… unsuitable for fighting…”

There wasn’t another almanac page more suitable than this!

Even though Reno’s voice was very soft, Zhu Mingchun heard everything clearly. At first, he tried attacking them a few times, as if he refused to believe in this heresy. Yet, he realized that each time he tried to attack the two people in front of him, he would miss no matter what. On the other hand, when they attacked him, his body felt heavy and clumsy. Within less than a minute, he had been hit quite a few times by Rena’s fly-whisk. The muscles in his legs cramped up like a fried dough stick. He knew that he couldn’t get anything from this even if he continued fighting.

Seeing that the situation had turned against him, Zhu Mingchun was quick to react. He grabbed his war banner and started to run. His body shrunk back to its original size as he sprinted away. Noticing that Rena was intending to check her brother’s condition, Lin Sanjiu held her back and quickly wrote two words, “Catch him!”

Rena suddenly realized her mistake. She hit her head and followed the smoke-like skull. After a few leaps, she managed to hit the back of Zhu Mingchun’s leg with her fly-whisk heavily. As long as Zhu Mingchun engaged in a fight, his movements would slow down significantly. His speed dropped to that of a normal person and he fell down from the impact of the fly-whisk attack without even much of a struggle.

“Tell us! What do those numbers mean!” Rena shouted as she stepped on his twisted left leg. He screamed in pain.
