Chapter 152 - Today isn't the day I will die

XG 152 - Today isn't the day I will die

In the beginning, Suzie Yap's speed was very much worse than Master Sheng's. But as time passed, she noticeably sped up, overworking her body muscles until they could match with Master Sheng.

"What's the use of us fighting when we have the same goal?" Master Sheng asked as if he was sincerely puzzled.

"Do you think a mother would be happy with the plan of sacrificing her daughter?" Suzie Yap snapped. She worked hard to punch that hateful face, but most of it was dodged and even if some landed, it failed to bother Master Sheng even the slightest.

"I had allowed you to punch me to relieve your anger. What else do you want?" Master Sheng asked when Suzie Yap continued charging forward like an angry bull, with Charles Wong trying to restrain his movement with metal. "There is no time for us to have meaningless fights."

"I want your life!"

"I will have to disappoint you. Today isn't the day I will die," Master Sheng informed.

Master Sheng lightly touched Suzie Yap's wrist and changed the direction of her incoming fist. After that, he invaded her personal space and punched her solar plexus.

It was only after that punch did Suzie Yap realized she had underestimated Master Sheng's strength. He was good at martial arts, with high flexibility and agility. Not only that, the strength of his punch could actually break something.

Luckily for her, she has a tough body with high pain tolerance... and a fast retaliator.

She grabbed his arm and mercilessly crushed it with all her strength, and finally succeeded in holding him in place. "For your information, I did succeed in breaking your 'fortune telling'."

Metal poles broke out from the ground and stabbed through Master Sheng's lower legs before they curled around the length of his legs to lock him. Next, more metal poles emerged from the ground and did the same thing to Master Sheng's arms.

A small piece of metal floated to Suzie Yap as it morphed into a knife, which she grabbed without looking. It was through years of mutual understanding and teamwork between the couple that they could achieve this level of synergy. "You had really forced me to move around quite a bit."

Master Sheng suddenly laughed, even when he was in a dire situation. "My prediction is always accurate."

It was a great shock when the image of Master Sheng being tied up disappeared like an illusion. What they actually caught was just empty air!

The incoming wind from below had her body instinctively move, and it reduced some impact when a clearly uninjured Master Sheng hit her torso with his palm.

Feeling her airway was still blocked even after she choked out some blood, she had her husband switch place with her so that she could have the time to heal herself. Charles Wong fiercely attacked Master Shen and no longer created bullets, but cannon balls. His attacks succeeded in creating some distance between them, and the accumulation of his attacks destroyed the wine cellar completely.

Even the floor above was not allowed to escape, and some unfortunate person had fallen off.

When Charles Wong suddenly saw his daughter that should not be here suddenly appeared out of nowhere, he knew it was done by Master Sheng. They had assumed Fortune Teller Sheng's ability was the prediction of a person's death, but clearly, that was not the case. There were no records of an Awaken person having two different abilities, so Fortune Teller Sheng's fortune telling was a skill he learned.

Seems like Fortune Teller Sheng was not a complete quack.

Only sparing brief attention to destroying his fake daughter with a cannon ball, he searched for Master Sheng that had disappeared from view just as the fake illusion started.
