Chapter 5.3 - Dream of Changes
Su instinctively raised his left hand to protect his body. At the same time, his right hand brandished a military dagger, stabbing it towards Marthamâs wrist with the greatest speed he could muster. The sharp and firm blade forced itself through Marthamâs muscles and flesh. Su knew that the blade was currently hacking at the muscles of the giantâs arm, but he still felt as if what he was slicing through was instead an incredibly hard, steel-reinforced bar.
However, the serious damage Su inflicted on Marthamâs wrist didnât seem to decrease his speed or power in the slightest. The enormous fist directly struck down on Suâs arm, and with clear sounds of bones shattering, Marthamâs fist smashed down onto Suâs chest, blasting his relatively frail body outwards.
The power that Su instantly erupted with was already close to four levels, but it couldnât defend against Marthamâs overwhelming power in the slightest. The only reason he wasnât flung outwards by this blow was because of the military knife he was tightly gripping onto.
However, this wasnât necessarily a good thing. Marthamâs right fist stopped, and then it pulled back before striking forward again. This series of movements made with all of his power was something not even this giantâs body could handle. Concentrated sounds of bones fracturing could be heard from his chest and shoulders.
However, Su had already been slammed heavily into the solid ground. A large portion of his wide and strong back was blasted to the point where it seemed to cave in!
If it was anyone else that suffered these injuries, this would have already been a fatal injury, However, Martham had an extremely strange feeling, as if what he had smashed his fist against was a large and slippery mollusk-like existence. He didnât feel like he smashed apart any bones at all. Due to the rushed exertion of power, the strength Marthamâs fist displayed wasnât even half of what it normally was. As soon as his power slightly relaxed, Suâs body suddenly released a wave of elastic force, sending his fist back a few centimeters.
It was just a slight opening, but Su already moved away horizontally like a lizard. Then, with a flip, he landed on the floor more than ten meters away. This time, Su half squatted on the ground while holding his hands in front of him, assuming a stance that would allow him to move in any direction. Even though Su looked like his clothes were a bit more dirty and his left arm was a bit deformed, there didnât seem to be any other damage. However, Martham could feel how much weaker Suâs power was. Even though he didnât smash apart Suâs bones, the strike just now still made Su suffer serious damage.
Su breathed in and out with difficulty, forcefully suppressing the blood that was surging from his chest. The injuries he received were actually more severe than what Martham saw. Almost all of his internal organs were damaged, and countless injuries were seeping out blood. There was simply no way to deal with them one by one.
The sky had already completely darkened.
Suâs left eye flickered with a deep green light in the darkness that was especially eye catching. With a slightly rough voice, he said, âYou are actually truly trying to kill me.â
âOf course.â Marthamâs smile was extremely sinister.
What followed this exchange of words that sounded rather strange to outsiders was a suffocating silence. From time to time, a frightening redness would emerge on Suâs skin that was as fine as jade, and then, like bloodstains washed out by flowing water, they would gradually fade and disappear. Then, more traces of blood would reappear.
The corners of Suâs lips curled upwards, revealing a somewhat mysterious smile. âYou missed the best opportunity. You wonât have the chance to kill me again.â
Even though it looked like Martham had an overwhelming advantage, Marthamâs expression became more and more grave. His current situation wasnât as good as it looked like on the surface either. His movements that had exceeded the limits of what his body could handle already caused half of his skeleton to develop cracks. Even if he was in a perfect state, he still didnât have certainty in capturing Su who possessed exceptional movement abilities and was even capable of avoiding his perception targeting ability. However, Su also had a weakness, and that was precisely his two subordinates. Regardless of whether it was that male or female, they both looked extremely important to Su, important to the point where he would forsake personal safety for them.
Using this weakness of Suâs definitely wouldnât make Martham happy or proud. Concern was a weakness; this was a law nearly everyone in the wilderness understood, as well as a law not many people would offend. Those that carried this weakness usually didnât live long, unless it was someone like Martham who was equipped with overwhelming abilities. However, even Martham, for Malim, almost died under the Su whose abilities back then couldnât be considered powerful.
However, this slight bit of uneasiness was far from enough to stop Martham. He already made a firm resolution to use all methods to destroy Su, and now was the time to do so!
âThe opportunity hasnât been missed.â Martham laughed, the smile on his face extremely malevolent. Right at this time, two enormous and oppressive gunshots rang through the darkness, immediately causing that smiling expression to freeze.
Li squatted on a cement platform with both hands holding an enormous and crude pistol. The muzzle of the pistol was still releasing an orange colored smoke. The muzzle of this pistol was ridiculously large, to the extent where it was about the same as a shotgun. The large gun body and long barrel seemed to silently suggest that it might be more appropriate to call it a hand cannon.
Martham turned around in a somewhat rigid manner. His lizard like eyes immediately shone with burning radiance! Li, who always seemed fearless, truly had to urge to throw away the pistol and turn around to run for her life. This wasnât a sign of cowardness, but rather an instinct in front of an enemy with overwhelming power. This uncontrollable fear made Liâs body ice-cold and her muscles go rigid. Even if she ran, she likely wouldnât get very far.
Li gave Su a look, and then she suddenly erupted into a hysterical shouting! She closed her eyes, and then her innermost potential erupted, forcefully dispelling the fear that controlled her body. Then, through pure instinct, she pressed down on the trigger!
Bang! Bang!
The gunshots tore through the peaceful night, and at the same time, plucked at everyoneâs tense nerves.
A pa sounded. The pistol slipped out from Liâs fingers, falling down on the cement, bouncing a few times before falling off the edge. Li was immediately covered in sweat. It completely soaked through her maroon colored short hair, causing it to stick to her forehead. Liâs body went limp. All of her bodyâs strength disappeared at this moment, and she slowly collapsed.
Firing these last two bullets had already exhausted strength that went beyond her limit. Right now, even the weakest person could do whatever they wished with Li. Liâs body rested on the ice cold concrete, gazing at the deep and dark night sky while breathing in and out with great difficulty. However, she was also smiling. She was now waiting for death, waiting for Martham to tear apart her body that had expended its final sliver of strength. However, she still managed to fire those two bullets in the end. Even though she no longer had the strength to get up and see whether she even hit her target, she already did everything she could, so there was only calmness in her heart now.
As long as she did everything she could, Li would always feel at ease and relaxed. She was, in the end, an extremely simple girl.
Martham took a step forward, and then he stopped. He lowered his head and looked at the two injuries on his chest with a bit of disbelief. The wounds didnât seem that large, but they seemed to bring Martham extremely great pain.
