Chapter 88: Taken Down a Second Time

Sister Yao acted very naturally as she pushed the door open and got out of the car, then shouted at Liu Shuzhi: “Where did you run off to? I’ve been looking for you for ages! What exactly is going on? How did I end up sleeping on the street by myself? How could you take such poor care of me?”

Liu Shuzhi stared straight at Sister Yao, listening, and suddenly said in a muffled voice: “I was looking for you, I didn’t know you went outside. Where are we going now?”

“Nonsense! Don’t I need to take a shower? Don’t I need to eat? Don’t I need to sleep?” Sister Yao finished scolding him, then tugged at her clothes as if she hated the feeling of them sticking to her body, and got back into the car. She saw Liu Shuzhi walking over. She watched him expressionlessly, and only asked a question when she saw Liu Shuzhi come to open the car door and get ready to squeeze in: “What are you doing?”

“…Getting in the car.” Liu Shuzhi looked a bit confused.

“The road outside is so narrow, don’t you know you should help watch out?” Amidst Sister Yao’s questioning, Liu Shuzhi unhappily closed the car door and stood outside to guide Sister Yao so she could drive the car out safely.

Sister Yao drove the car back and forth a few times and finally drove out of the narrow alley, still complaining: “What’s wrong with them! Leaving such a tiny road when building a house, why even make a yard to use as a garage? What kind of car does this person own? A Smart car?”

Liu Shuzhi took some effort to squeeze into the car door; sitting was impossible, he was too bulky and uncomfortable, so the backrest was always kept in a reclined position.

Sister Yao started the car, secretly paying attention to the time. Counting from the moment they had close contact, Chen Fengshi had said that they must absolutely not reach ten minutes; they had to get away at nine and a half minutes at most, even if the plan did not go smoothly. Nine and a half minutes was the limit.

But the time should have been plenty.

Except for… the damn red light!

On the road under the night sky, only her car was left lonely waiting for the red light; there were no other engine sounds.

This red light was a bit long.

“Where did you faint?” Liu Shuzhi asked her, looking very normal and concerned.

But Sister Yao felt it was terrifying. This excuse was clearly nonsense that Chen Fengshi had made up on the spot, but Liu Shuzhi could actually play along so, so well?

Being possessed by an Evil Ghost really made one shudder. If Chen Fengshi hadn’t told her, Sister Yao really wouldn’t have been able to see anything wrong with Liu Shuzhi now, let alone connect him with the image of him holding a gun and shooting wildly just moments ago.

“Just by the side of the road we passed! How would I run there by myself? I don’t even smell like alcohol!” Sister Yao glanced at Liu Shuzhi, as if this really happened, and she had to make Liu Shuzhi give an explanation, because it was his responsibility. “Speak up! What exactly is going on? I’m in a bad mood and this is how you keep me company? Letting me sleep by the road by myself? What if a homeless person walked by? What if there were bad guys? What if I met an enemy? What if…”

“You ran off by yourself, I was just looking for you.” Liu Shuzhi’s answer was very simple.

“Did I run off by myself?” Sister Yao looked confused. At this moment, the green light turned on.

She started the car and drove a bit faster than usual.

The car turned the corner, went along the right side for a while, and after another short straight stretch, drove into the roadside of the auxiliary road under the overpass.

Sister Yao stopped the car and instructed as she unfastened her seatbelt: “I’m going to use the restroom, I’ll be right back.”

Liu Shuzhi just sat in the car and waited; this was not the first time this had happened. Sister Yao was just like this; when she couldn’t hold it in on the road, she would find a place like this to relieve herself, nothing like a rich family’s daughter… However, even though she came from a rich family, she was never the elegant lady type to begin with.

Liu Shuzhi hadn’t waited long when he suddenly heard the roar of an engine coming from far to near, rapidly approaching.

He looked at the rearview mirror inside the car, but he didn’t see any lights; he only heard the sound coming from behind, and it was already very close!

Heiqi stopped by the roadside behind the car.

Chen Fengshi got off, walked up the curb, waved at Liu Shuzhi in the car, and pointed to the sidewalk by the road. The meaning was very clear: stop sitting around, get down here quickly.

Liu Shuzhi’s face turned into a sinister smile. He glanced in the direction of the bridge underpass where Sister Yao had gone; she was still nowhere to be seen at this moment, so he pushed the car door open and crawled out.

“Why wasn’t a Sub-body Core implanted?” Liu Shuzhi’s body shape didn’t look as exaggerated as before; now he just looked like an excellent bodybuilder, not as exaggerated as an elite bodybuilder like before, and of course far from the muscle-man level bodybuilding warriors of Queen Huang’s four.

However, Liu Shuzhi’s strength was now greater than before. This clearly meant that his body had been maturely modified by the Fungal Demon.

Chen Fengshi did not speak, because once he spoke, Liu Shuzhi might compare him with the Chen Fengshi in his memories. He only raised his hand and pointed at Liu Shuzhi a few times from across the empty air, as if to say: for your own good.

“You think—I’m afraid of you?” As he spoke, Liu Shuzhi suddenly pulled a handgun out of his pocket and quickly pointed it at Heiqi in front of him!

He had already been on guard.

But just as he drew his gun, Heiqi in front of him reverse-gripped the hidden dagger in his left hand, turning it into a cold flash as he slashed out!

In an instant, in the darkness, sparks suddenly flashed along the trajectory of the blade.

The blade passed by, and the gun was still in Liu Shuzhi’s hand; he had already raised it, but he couldn’t aim it at Chen Fengshi.

Because only the gun handle was still held in his hand.

The short dagger was in Chen Fengshi’s hand, instantly held in a normal grip, and in the next instant it disappeared, changing to a reverse grip and hidden away, repeating this over and over, clearly showing off.

Chen Fengshi was very satisfied with the sharpness of the blade. When he confirmed it, Little An told him very firmly that with the power of the Golden Power of Life and the tough alloy of the equipped blade, it could absolutely cut through iron like mud, absolutely overbearing!

The facts proved that Heiyang, as logistics, was very reliable; the motorcycle met the needs, and the quality of the blade was also beyond doubt.

Chen Fengshi raised his hand, pointed at Liu Shuzhi, then pointed at the road beside him, then held his palm upright, and slowly tilted it to lie flat.

The meaning was very clear: stop struggling, lie down there nicely.

“Damn Huang Tribe parasite! Go to hell!” Liu Shuzhi furiously charged at Chen Fengshi.

But before he could reach him, Heiqi slid to the side like a swimming fish right in front of his eyes, then gave a push to his charging shoulder as he went past, and tripped his feet.

Immediately after, his whole person was thrown flying forward, his body even spun two circles in the empty air, and when his hands touched the ground and he hadn’t fully absorbed the impact of the landing, Heiqi had already caught up, flying a kick from far away right at the side of his half-bent knee.

This kick was ruthless enough; Chen Fengshi’s goal was to make him unable to stand up. Anyway, with the Fungal Demon’s recovery ability, he wasn’t worried that Liu Shuzhi would become crippled.

But even though this kick clearly landed solidly, Liu Shuzhi’s body only tilted and rolled once, and that leg looked like it was completely fine as he directly stood up.

‘…Is this the striking resistance of a level-nine muscle-type Sub-general?’ Chen Fengshi couldn’t help but be secretly shocked. In terms of strength, he clearly had a slight advantage, but right now, the fact that Liu Shuzhi’s unprotected areas could withstand such a strong blow really scared him.

So, Chen Fengshi instantly urged the golden mist inside his body to spread out, rapidly swallowing Liu Shuzhi up.

At the same time, realizing that his life force was being quickly absorbed again, the Sub-body Core inside Liu Shuzhi’s body awakened all the Parasites within its range under the crisis state, and many red mist threads quickly extended over from all directions.

The muscles on Liu Shuzhi’s body rapidly expanded, and his body suddenly thickened by a circle. The overly piled muscles covered many normally unprotected areas on his body with thick layers of muscle.

He roared and pounced at Heiqi!

He probably knew that he couldn’t escape Heiqi’s pursuit.

Chen Fengshi dodged his grabbing hands, and as he slid past his side, he took the opportunity to fiercely kick Liu Shuzhi in the waist!

But this kick only made Liu Shuzhi retreat two steps to the side, and then he charged over again.

It was as if he completely didn’t care about his striking power!

Chen Fengshi unwillingly dodged two more pounces, landing a punch to Liu Shuzhi’s head with one strike, and a punch to the back of his neck with the other.

But they were both useless.

The very thick muscles on the back of the neck shouldn’t be attacked in the first place, and the facts proved it was indeed useless; as for the head, it clearly had no muscle protection!

But Chen Fengshi’s own hands hurt from the hitting, while Liu Shuzhi just held his head, swayed dizzily for two seconds, shook his head, and pounced over again!

Chen Fengshi wasn’t worried about Liu Shuzhi’s attacks; he had no proper technique, just blindly seeking speed to achieve his goal, not even knowing to consider details like choosing the distance of his movements, so actions that could have been completed faster ended up taking extra time.

This was a big difference between someone who had trained and someone who hadn’t. Because of this, even if their speed and agility were similar, it was still hard to succeed.

So Chen Fengshi wasn’t under much pressure, but right now, Liu Shuzhi similarly showed no pressure against his attacks…

Liu Shuzhi pounced over again, but what Chen Fengshi cared about was that Liu Shuzhi had been in the golden mist for over twenty seconds, yet the red mist on his body was still very dense! This was just too weird!

“Ahhhh—damn Huang Tribe bloodsucker!” Liu Shuzhi shook his head and roared as he charged at Chen Fengshi again.

The words he shouted had actually caught Chen Fengshi’s attention long ago, and Little An had noticed them long ago too, but they just had no way to investigate.

Just as Liu Shuzhi leaped forward, a figure suddenly dropped down from above his head—Sister Yao!

Sister Yao bent her body, stepped both feet on the back of Liu Shuzhi’s neck, grabbed his head and face with both hands, shoved two fingers into Liu Shuzhi’s eyes, pushed with her feet and pulled with her arms, trying her best to bend Liu Shuzhi’s head and neck backward.

Blood flowed out from Liu Shuzhi’s eyes, and he screamed in pain, but he didn’t cover his eyes. Instead, he reached out and grabbed Sister Yao’s arm, using his strength to throw her out, while he himself was immediately kicked in the head by the cooperating Chen Fengshi, causing him to tilt and fall to one side.

Before Liu Shuzhi’s body could stand straight, he was kicked into a crouching position by Chen Fengshi’s following kick, and before he could stand up, another kick completely sent him crashing flat onto the ground.

Chen Fengshi quickly rushed forward, pressed on the back of Liu Shuzhi’s head, and stepped on his back, making him unable to get up.

After controlling Liu Shuzhi, he checked on Sister Yao’s situation, and saw that she had just stepped on the bridge surface, using the force to lightly fly back.

“Awesome!” Chen Fengshi admired Sister Yao’s courage, as well as her excellent adaptability.

Sister Yao crouched on the ground, looking in disbelief at how Liu Shuzhi’s eyes, which she had gouged, were actually healing rapidly. Even though the facts forced her to believe it, she was still shocked by this healing ability…

“God! Is this… an immortal body after being possessed by an Evil Ghost?”
