Chapter 102: Xue’er’s Peculiar Behavior (1/2)

Staring at Liu Su, who was confronting the Giant Creature, Shen Cheng suddenly wondered if he had truly done everything within his power to save her.

The answer was clear.

Shen Cheng was certain he had pushed himself to the limit, but every attempt ended in failure.

Yet Shen Cheng felt that he could break through this limit.

Perhaps it was because Shen Cheng knew that what was in front of him was fake—an illusion—so his subconscious loosened, preventing him from truly breaking his limits.

—But in this illusion, everything felt incredibly real.

From the warmth of the short sword in his hand, to the dampness of the forest air, and even the feel of the breeze brushing against his face, down to the pain coursing through his body…

If everything in front of him were real…

His grandfather wouldn’t show up, and Liu Su would remain standing there, about to be crushed by the Giant Creature. The only one who could save her was Shen Cheng.

Just like last time, Shen Cheng had no idea that his grandfather would appear. He stood there dumbly, watching, unable to do anything.

If that moment was the same as now, and Shen Yu didn’t show up, then the outcome would be…

Shen Cheng had only one chance. If he failed, he would lose Liu Su forever…

The short sword in his hand and the silver pistol in his arms both bore the intricate inscription of the character “Su.” These items were given to him by Liu Su, and they had saved Shen Cheng’s life more than once.

“This time, it’s my turn to save you, even if all of this is fake… No, from now on, it’s real.”

With that thought, Shen Cheng gathered all his strength into his legs.

—I can save you.

—I won’t let you die.

Time resumed its flow.

“Ahhhh!!!”

The moment time resumed, the strength in Shen Cheng’s legs exploded, and he shot forward like a hunting falcon, leaving behind a faint trail of air in his wake!

The hidden dark purple Demi-Human, upon witnessing this, couldn’t help but have a slight tremor in her pupils.

She saw that Shen Cheng’s legs had deformed slightly from the sudden exertion…

The body has protective mechanisms, keeping actions within a reasonable range to prevent self-harm.

But Shen Cheng’s current performance clearly showed he had broken through this protective limit!

Throat, eyes, elbows, and…

Before the Giant Creature’s massive hand could fall halfway, Shen Cheng had already arrived behind it. He raised his right fist and slammed it into the creature’s right knee with all his might: “Knee!”

“Bang!!”

“Crack—”

As flesh met steel, Shen Cheng’s right arm visibly deformed, bending at unnatural angles. Even his right fist twisted into a bizarre shape, the sound of bones cracking echoed in the air, sending shockwaves through the dark purple Demi-Human’s mind.

But the sound wasn’t just coming from Shen Cheng’s hand.

The armor covering the Giant Creature’s knee shattered as well!

With his left hand, Shen Cheng drew his short sword and fiercely stabbed it into the Giant Creature’s knee, twisting it sharply—

“Roarrr!!!”
