Chapter 340
Chapter 340 – Hua s.h.i.+ VS Sun Fang & Li Jing
Sun Fang glanced at his remaining lifespans in his system menu . Less than 60,000 years were remaining .
He hesitated if he should activate his Qi s.h.i.+eld, so he would be invulnerable to ambushes .
"If I were her, I would have ambushed us here . "
Sun Fang looked around the shacks and the houses of the civilians in the county . As all peasants were asleep, only he and Li Jing ran around in the middle of the town .
Although it was pitch black at night, they could still sense their surroundings . Furthermore, they could also catch a glimpse of Hua s.h.i.+"s presence further away inside the city .
Li Jing"s eyes sharpened, "She"s here! Get ready!"
Sun Fang took a deep breath and summoned his soul, [Patience] . His soul had the same appearance as his previous life, the bodyguard of Ping"s family .
Patience flew forward toward the direction of Hua s.h.i.+"s presence to probe her .
And Hua s.h.i.+ took the bait .
[Diligence] and [Love] from Hua s.h.i.+ flew at Sun Fang"s soul with their glowing short sword . Both of them slashed at [Patience] .
Surprised, Sun Fang pulled his soul backward . However, [Love] managed to connect the slash with [Patience]"s face, cutting from the forehead across his face toward his cheek on the other side .
A slant wound appeared on Sun Fang"s real face as the cut injured his soul .
"d.a.m.n it! Qi Blast!"
An energy ball manifested before Sun Fang"s soul and shot at [Love] .
The soul with the appearance of a young nurse grinned . She braced the impact without defending herself .
*BOOM*
The energy ball exploded, but [Love] was unharmed!
*PU*
[Love]"s glowing knife stabbed into [Patience]"s chest!
Within Sun Fang"s body, the same stab wound appeared as his soul received another injury . Blood from his veins flooded into the damaged lung, and the red liquid was pumped out of his respiratory system .
Sun Fang choked and spat a mouthful of blood . He screamed, "Jing"er, help!"
Li Jing stared at the souls of Hua s.h.i.+ as if she saw ghosts . She recognized the appearances of these nurses .
It was her crush in her previous life, Sunday .
When Li Jing heard the scream of Sun Fang, she came back to her sense . Upon seeing the distressed look and the injuries, Li Jing"s anger shot through the roof .
In Li Jing"s last life, she did everything she could to save Hua s.h.i.+, but she was betrayed . Now, Hua s.h.i.+ was about to kill her husband .
"SUNDAY!!"
Li Jing shouted as she summoned her virtuous soul, [Love] . It s.n.a.t.c.hed Li Jing"s sword from her belt and flew toward Sun Fang and Hua s.h.i.+"s soul .
Ironically, the girls possessed the same virtue, yet their karma bound them together as enemies .
Al though Li Jing"s [Love] tried to attack at Hua s.h.i.+"s soul, she was stopped by Hua s.h.i.+"s [Diligence] .
"AHHHH!!"
Li Jing continued screaming as if she had gone mad . [Love] swung the sword without form, but it contained the aura of an immortal .
[Diligence] parried the sword with her short sword . Because her knife range was shorter, Hua s.h.i.+"s soul could not find a chance to counter-attack .
On the other side, Sun Fang retreated as his injuries worsened for every second pa.s.s . He attempted to use his healing skill, but the wounds on his soul remained .
"Argh!"
Desperate, Sun Fang took out a medicine pill he concocted with his [Dao of Alchemy] skill . It was a pill listed in the system as a wind pill .
The detail stated that this pill could increase the speed of the consumer by 50% upon consumption, but his speed would be penalized by 50% when the effect of his medicine was over .
Sun Fang did not know how long this pill could last, but he threw it in his mouth anyway .
Once the pill was swallowed, it melted into his stomach, and Sun Fang could sense the change . This pill had a similar effect as Tong"s overclock mode as it accelerated his perception . Everything became a slow-motion while Sun Fang could maintain his average speed .
A bullet-time activated!
Sun Fang"s [Patience] managed to catch his breath and dodged another strike from [Love]"s knife . He countered her with his strongest punch to her guts .
*POEK*
[Love]"s body bent forward as she could feel the pain, which it stunned her .
.
Meanwhile, the master of these two souls, Hua s.h.i.+, had been hiding behind a shack .
The moment Sun Fang punched her, she was stunned and could not control her bowel .
*PLUEK*
Hua s.h.i.+ vomited her last meal, and her concentration shook for a split second .
*SWUA*
[Diligence] got stabbed into her stomach by Li Jing"s [Love] . The soul glared at Hua s.h.i.+"s soul in resentment as she bellowed .
"SUNDAY! YOU WILL PAY!!"
In a panic and pain, Hua s.h.i.+ unsummoned all of her souls . She activated her regeneration skill to heal her physical wounds, but she could not heal her soul .
Now, both Hua s.h.i.+ and Sun Fang had soul injuries .
"YOU CAN"T HIDE!!"
Li Jing went into a frenzy as she traced Hua s.h.i.+"s presence and ran to her hidden spot .
Seeing the pursuer, Hua s.h.i.+ gritted her teeth . Although she could not remember who this person was, Hua s.h.i.+ had a vague déjà vu feeling coming from this woman .
Using her brain, Hua s.h.i.+ ran toward the open area in the town center . On this location, many night patrol guards gathered and drank in peace .
Hua s.h.i.+ screamed, "Help!! Murderers!"
The guards turned to Hua s.h.i.+"s direction in reflex . They grabbed their weapons and ran toward her .
Hua s.h.i.+ abandoned her disguise and hid her weapons in her inventory . She ran to the guards like a helpless housewife .
Following behind Hua s.h.i.+, Li Jing and her soul screamed and kicked the ground, leaping at their target in full speed .
"A witch!"
"What!? A ghost!?"
The guards panicked, but they raised their spears to attack Li Jing .
"SCRAM"
Li Jing"s soul ignored the attacks . She slashed the guards" neck as she flew after Hua s.h.i.+ .
While Li Jing switched her focus to the guards, Hua s.h.i.+ summoned a crude oil barrel and hurled it at Li Jing"s main body .
*BANG*
The barrel hit Li Jing, but it did not break .
Li Jing shoved the barrel away . When she regained her sight on Hua s.h.i.+, she was drawing a bow in a full moon arc, aiming at Li Jing"s main body .
40 Light arrows flew from Hua s.h.i.+"s bow, locking on Li Jing"s torso .
*PUEK*
*PUEK*
*PUEK*
*PUEK*
As Li Jing did not unsummon her soul and use her aura, her real body was still vulnerable to all system skills . All arrows struck into Li Jing"s body, turning her frontal body into a reverse porcupine .
"Ah …"
Li Jing came back to her sense after she felt several cold arrowheads lodging into her chest and stomach . She fell on her back afterward .
"JING"ER!!"
Sun Fang screamed, fearing for the fate of his wife . Before he could get closer, Hua s.h.i.+ already pointed her short sword on Li Jing"s neck .
Looking at her from 50 meters away, Sun Fang noticed that Li Jing was still breathing .
Sun Fang glared at Hua s.h.i.+ with hatred, "Let her go!"
Hua s.h.i.+ spat the remaining digestive fluid inside her mouth . She sneered at Sun Fang, "I came here in peace, but you two wanted me dead . This is what you get!"
"We won"t go after you anymore . Please, let her go . "
Sun Fang was desperate . As a former virgin with no experience in relations.h.i.+p, Li Jing was his first wife and first love in two lives . As such, his mentality and thought centered on Li Jing"s existence .
He could not afford to lose her here .
On the other hand, Hua s.h.i.+ clenched her stomach . The physical wound had been healed, but the lingering pain was still there . She could sense that both her souls also retained the stabbed wound, and it did not show any sign of recovery any time soon .
With such injury, Hua s.h.i.+ did not want to continue fighting or having any hostile otherworlder coming after her .
Killing Li Jing here would be ideal, but she would have to fight with Sun Fang next .
"Should I take both of them out, or should I take this girl as a hostage and kill her later?"
Hua s.h.i.+ looked at the half-dead Li Jing on the ground . She was looking at Hua s.h.i.+ in the eyes as she muttered, "Sunday …"
The owner of the name frowned . Upon closer inspection and recollection about Li Jing"s soul and her appearance, Hua s.h.i.+ recalled a bad memory in her previous life .
There was a sick female doctor that asked her out, but Hua s.h.i.+ turned her down .
After that collapsed-hospital incident, she fed her human"s flesh and blood instead of regular food and water .
Moreover, she killed a doctor, who was Hua s.h.i.+"s crush and forced-feed his flesh to her .
When the rescue team found them, this mental girl was talking to herself, planning to kill Hua s.h.i.+ and commit suicide .
"Ah, you"re that psycho b.i.t.c.h . "
The eyes of Li Jing shook . She raised her arm, trying to touch Hua s.h.i.+"s face .
"I … still … love you . "
"Sorry, I already have a husband and a child . If you reincarnate into a hot stud next life, maybe I"ll give you a chance . "
"Sunday …"
Realizing the ident.i.ty of this half-dead woman, Hua s.h.i.+ made a decision . It might be risky, but she had confidence that she could pull it off .
