Chapter 270 - 265: Runt vs Lei Zhi! (1/2)

Runt stood up on stage with his teammates against Lei Zhi's team. A black liquid flowed around his body continuously like a guardian snake. His golden ocarina shined from the sun's light. Floating incorporeal green chains wrapped around his forearms. This was probably going to be his toughest fight yet.

Jue couldn't help but loudly squeal looking at the serious version of her little brother. She wanted nothing more than to just swallow him up in her arms and shake him from side to side. The only thing stopping her was the black thing circling around him! When she tried giving in to her instincts, it started melting her skin!

”Be careful.” Runt sighed. ”Protect me, alright?” Runt said.

”I'll protect you Little Brother! Nothing will be able to get past me!” Jue confidently claimed. .

”Oh, sure.” Runt wasn't speaking to her but whatever. ”Shi. If you can do it, try and take out the small guy first. If not, help us deal with the big axe guy.” Runt said to the silent beauty.

”I'll do whatever I want.” Shi scoffed and turned her head.

”I can kill her if you want me to, Little Bro.” Jue spoke nonchalantly.

”We'll fail if you two fight. Just protect me and let her do her thing. I'll try and follow her lead.” Runt couldn't agree to that suggestion. ”You don't have to listen to anything I say, but please don't try and fight the old man.” Runt tried to give her a warning.

She didn't give any acknowledgment of his warning. Her back was faced toward him and she didn't even make an annoyed noise this time. Runt could only hope she listened to his advice. If not, it was going to be kind of impossible to win.

”Begin!” The elder started the match.

Runt immediately played his ocarina, only to suddenly see a hook flying toward him. He watched Jue step in front of him. Knowing the strangeness of everyone's weapons in Heaven's Angels, Runt knew things would end badly if Jue tried blocking it. He wasn't sure if his Boss's stuff would be able to melt through it either.

”Don't block it! Avoid it!” Runt warned her.

”Huh? Okay.” Jue calmly dodged the hook as Runt ducked down low, still playing his instrument.

Shi Lina decided to ignore his advice entirely. She directly ran past the small guy with the dagger and headed toward Lei Zhi. The short let out a relieved breath of air when she passed by him. Jue stood in front of Runt to protect him from this guy but he wasn't attacking alone. Both the short guy and big guy with the axe rushed at them.

”How fuċkɨnġ annoying...” Runt muttered before blowing into his ocarina with higher intensity.

The beautiful serene music flowed gently throughout the entire event. It gave nearly everyone a feeling of peace, relaxation, and calmness. Runt focused a majority of his qi on controlling the soundwaves within the arena. He'd be wasting qi if he cared about the soundwaves outside the ring.

”Come on out!” Changlin brought down his axe on top of Jue's head.

A clear sharp bang rang out as an invisible barrier appeared in front of Jue. It completely surrounded Jue and Runt but it also seemed to stop them from attacking their opponents. Jue tried uppercutting the axe coming down on her but clashed with the barrier. Runt stared at Lei Zhi toying around with Lin. Maybe he could win if he dealt with these two fast enough...

”Are you feeling sleepy?” A voice entered Changlin and Gou's head.

Both momentarily stopped in their tracks to break down the barrier. Changlin rapidly shook his head while Gou stumbled.

”Wouldn't it be nice to just take a nap, instead of doing all this fighting? No need to exert yourself. No need to get hurt. Just a nice relaxing nap.”

No one but Runt understood why Gou suddenly collapsed. He fell face-first onto the stage and started snoring loudly. His dagger clanging against the stage away from his hand's reach. Just as Gou fell, Runt took down the barrier on the verge of destruction and took another peek at Lei Zhi.

”No one will lay a hand on my Little Brother but me!” Jue announced with her rising fist.

”I'll break you and that kid!” Changlin horizontally slashed his axe.

”Maybe you should aim lower? Her waist looks pretty vulnerable...” The voice reentered Changlin's head.

Changlin didn't recognize the woman's voice but felt somewhat compelled to listen. Such a beautiful, soothing voice wouldn't lead his astray, right? He didn't know the woman talking to him but Changlin felt like he was already in love! His axe lowered down from its initial target to aim for the girl's defenseless wait.
