Chapter 119: BLOOD! (1/2)

Still, that much of an attack isn't enough to defeat me. While I was smiling inwardly, I noticed something that almost pricked my heart and rocked me to my core. Somehow, blood spurted from my should where my arm was cut off. Why do I have blood? Aren't I a rabid human? How come? Where did I get it?

I stared at it for a few seconds, trying to think of a reason why I was bleeding. Honestly, it looked really gory, but deep inside, I was elated. One way or another, I can finally label myself as a human. Even if I'm a rabid human before, I already have blood. BLOOD!

For the life of the flesh is in the blood... or so the famous saying goes from ancient scripture.

Slash!

And then, my other arm was cut off from me once again.

What am I doing? Am I really going to let her land a free hit on me? Well, if I think about it on another angle, I can say that this is retribution. This much is not enough punishment after everything I did to her. While she's at it, she could at least cut off my head and be done with it. It's not like I'd die from being killed.

”You're weak, relatively weaker than him. And yet, and yet... ” Shi Meili muttered once again. I have no idea what she was talking about or whom she was referring to, but I could feel her rage and sadness. She was seriously intent on killing me.

”And Yong Rui froze! I think this is the end for him! He just can't keep up with Shi Meili's movements, the famous dancing phoenix!” The commentator continued. ”I guess his first dodge was just a fluke, a momentary lucky break.”

”Yong Rui, what are you doing? Are you forfeiting the fight?!” Shen Rong called out but I didn't hear him. Instead, I gave all my attention to Shi Meili.

Suddenly, everyone from the audience fell silent as they felt the ominous aura erupting from my body. To someone who has never encountered the blood element before, this was probably their first time feeling something like this. Even Shi Meili, who was quite confident with her speed, couldn't even budge from where she was standing. She seemed like she was choking because of the pressure but I didn't give her a window of opportunity to attack me. Right now, I have to do all I can to avoid being recognized by her.

However, there was one person who seemed to not have been affected by my release of pressure. It was none other than Shen Rong. Instead of cowering in fear and being gripped with terror, he was casually standing beside the arena where Meili and I were fighting.

”As expected of someone who had experienced countless death encounters. To those who didn't know, Yong Rui spent the last five years outside the walls of the Shelter. Yes, he had survived fighting rabid humans for five years.” Shen Rong announced.
