65 Zhu Long, Injured

"I guess that we do have to battle!" Zhu Long looked fiercely towards the beast. He seemed to be very excited by the thought of battling this huge beast. 'I haven't had this much challenge since I trained with Old Yang.. This will be fun!' Zhu Long's eyes had a fire within them. The beast also stared at Zhu Long. At this moment, both enemies were staring at each other, causing there to be absolute silence.

Both of them moved, The beast jumped backwards and started to throw some rocks towards Zhu Long. But the rocks hit nothing, Zhu Long had already moved towards the beast as soon as the beast showed signs of jumping. The beast continued to throw more rocks towards Zhu Long, who was running towards it. Zhu Long jumped towards the beast, reaching just at an arm's length from its body. " Palm Fury! " Zhu Long's voice revertibrated in the forest as he struck towards the chest of the demonic beast with his palm, it wasn't only a single strike, Zhu Long continued with a dozen more palm strikes until he couldn't continue. 'Only 13.. I'm still behind oldie but I have improved the number of strikes that I can do at once. When I reach 25, I will be able to reach the intermediate stage of the Great Palm Arts.. Well, I don't need to think about that at this moment. I'm sure that those palms strikes have affected the beast internally.' Zhu Long didn't care for the effects of his attacks on the beast externally but what he did care about was the possible effects of his attacks on the beast internally. A well placed and time attack could even create some parts of the beasts inner organs to bleed, weakening it.

Thump

Zhu Long luckily landed on his back, preventing any serious injuries. But even though he had avoided injuries from falling, Zhu Long was already injured from the beast's sweep. He looked towards his left foot with a distasteful expression, "It's at least fractured, maybe even broken... " Zhu Long didn't have much time to  think as the beast roared once more and jumped toward Zhu Long, who was lying on the ground, with the intent to slam him again. The beast's body was in the, it aimed towards the injured Zhu long, it's arms coiled back, ready to slam at any moment towards its victim. Zhu Long had a grim expression on his face when he saw the beast and  used all the strength he could muster up to retreat from the beast's slam, while trying to prevent the pain of his injury from slowing him down.

Ch-2 Malory Smith

BANG

As fuck, it looks like they heard the car engine turn on. But still, the man should be very confident that this woman has entered in the car to shoot it. However, how did he know that? This alley way is pitch black and it's almost impossible to see that far… This is a tricky situation. Fuck it, I'll just drive quickly towards the police station. 

I pressed the accelerator and drove away from the alleyway. The sound of glass shards came into my ear which made me look back. 'This is a mess, He actually shot and broke my window. I swear to god, I'll find out who that prick is and cut off his balls!' This was a brand new car, I used all my hard earned savings to buy this and as soon as I do a mission with this car, the window breaks. I felt a little bit depressed when I saw the broken window.

"Excu..Excuse me.. I'm sorry that I got you into this mess… Now your car's window is broken.. I promise you that I'll pay for it.." A sweet voice came into my ears, it made me feel a lot better. "I can't let a lady pay for this.. Don't worry about it, It's insured. For now, All you need to be is happy, those guys didn't get to you. A person's life is better than some car windows. For now, let's just get to the police station." I said comforted the woman. I looked towards her and was blown away, she's a real beaut! But I don't want to stare and seem like a pervert. The woman nodded and smiled. There was an awkward silence after that exchange so I thought to get some small conversations done while we get to the police station. "So, What's your name? If you don't mind me asking." I asked her the most simple conversation starter.

The woman looked towards me and thought for a little bit. "Malory Smith." The woman replied. "That's a great name! Suits you. My name is Adam Carter." I replied to her. I managed to catch a small sneaky smile on the woman's face when I told her my name. But I couldn't look at her too much, no matter how beautiful she was, It's dangerous to be distracted while driving.
