Chapter 20 - Life and Death

Fortunately, the skill formed by the System was powerful enough. Although it was only at the most basic stage, like an ordinary person who had cultivated day and night for three to five years, everything had become instinctive.

It had given him a chance of survival in a desperate situation that could be said to be fatal.

Fortunately, the other party's strength was indeed not as strong as that fat monster earlier, so he could withstand it.

The two blows just now seemed to be identical to the method which had caused Feng Zicheng's death. His neck and waist were attacked at the same time.

Fortunately, the sharp iron piece had not been long enough.

Lu Ren glanced at the iron piece in his hand. Two clear marks had almost severed the iron piece, leaving only a thin layer still adhering to it.

If it were to suffer another impact, it would definitely break directly. It might not even be able to withstand much force.

Lu Ren tried his best to maintain the rhythm of his breathing. The muscles in his body relaxed slightly in order to obtain a better instant strength.

His physical fitness was not very strong, but with the increase in the digitized attributes, whether it was his strength, agility, or reaction time, he was a level stronger than ordinary people. The most important method to deal with enemies was the Basic Sword Technique, which could unleash 200% of his physical strength.

This gave him a strong advantage in combat.

This thing was seen swinging its two blade arms, and charging at him rapidly. Its running posture was like a scarecrow as it swayed left and right, but its speed was extremely astonishing.

Seeing this, Lu Ren did not hesitate at all. He immediately took a step back, turned around, and ran into the room. There were many escape exits in this room. If he could not defeat it, he still had a chance to escape.

However, when Lu Ren entered the room, he saw Chen Jin stumbling backward and frantically retreating.

Just now, it seemed that it was the same direction that he and Feng Zicheng had fled. He remembered that they had not walked toward the door of the room.

Lu Ren's mind was racing. He did not have the time to think about anything else. The sharp sound of the wind behind him made his hair stand on end. As he bent down to dodge, he picked up an office chair beside him and threw it behind him.

Immediately after, he heard a few clanking sounds of metal cutting. From the corner of his eye, Lu Ren could only see a few broken metal chairs scattered.

The so-called Bamboo Node Blade's two blade arms were still as new.

"No, don't come over!"

Looking at Lu Ren and the monster behind him, Chen Jin sat down on the ground in horror. He supported himself with one hand and swung the other hand in front of his chest crazily.

Lu Ren looked at him expressionlessly and did not stop in his tracks. He immediately pressed his hands on the table in front of him and jumped over the conference table in a parkour leap.

However, the Bamboo Node Blade monster behind him was chasing relentlessly. It was even a little faster than Lu Ren.

Lu Ren's heart sank as he watched the blades approach faster and faster, almost cutting through his back.

This can't go on!

Sooner or later, he would be struck by the other party. If he were struck, his physical ability to move would decrease greatly. Lu Ren could not find any reason to survive except death.

The Bamboo Node Blade monster seemed to be exceptionally sensitive to Chen Jin's loud roars. It did not hit Lu Ren with its last attack, so it pulled back and pounced on Chen Jin, slashing the sharp blades of its two arms at Chen Jin's vital points.

Chen Jin was so frightened that he rolled and crawled. He opened the cabinet beside him. The high school student named Ren Zhoucheng was hiding in the cabinet with a pale face.

When he saw Chen Jin suddenly open the cabinet, his eyes could not help but widen in shock.

In the next moment, what Chen Jin did terrified him.

Chen Jin pulled Ren Zhoucheng out and pushed him crazily toward the bamboo monster.

"No, don't come over. Please…"

Before he could finish, Ren Zhou Cheng's voice stopped abruptly. His body was directly cut into two by the blades of the bamboo monster.

Lu Ren glanced expressionlessly at the flustered Chen Jin. Seeing that the other party was about to run, Lu Ren threw the iron piece in his hand directly at him; it slammed down solidly on his thigh.

"Ah!"

With a scream, Chen Jin fell to the ground and clutched his thigh as he wailed.

The loud, horrified scream had attracted the attention of the Bamboo Node Blade monster. It charged at Chen Jin, who was struggling crazily on the ground, and slashed with its sharp blades.

Lu Ren was not even interested in what would happen next to Chen Jin. However, the sudden screams in his ears made him move faster.

It was not that he could not fight. Although the other party was very agile, it had not reached the limit he could not withstand. He had to find a way.

Lu Ren's mind raced, and the phone he was clutching tightly in his left hand emitted a faint flash of light, illuminating the area ahead.

He turned around and charged directly into a slightly narrow office.

Li Shu, who was hiding in the dark, widened her eyes in shock.

"Has he gone mad? Is he deliberately walking into a narrow environment?"

Immediately, she realized that Lu Ren was trying to use the location's advantage to restrict the monster's movements. She had to do something.

She turned around and looked at the dead Ren Zhoucheng, Chen Jin, and Feng Zicheng. When her gaze turned to Chen Jin, she could not hide the fury on her face.

Li Shu had really not expected such a person to push another person out to be his shield to save his own life.

In less than three seconds after he had entered the office, he quickly scanned the environment of the office. He then heard the sound of rushing wind behind him.

Lu Ren did not hesitate at all. He immediately took two steps forward, and as he dodged the other party's blades, he raised his leg and actually used the push against the wall to charge down. He twisted his trunk and kicked in the air, turning into a quick flash as he swept over.

Just as the Bamboo Node Blade monster was about to slash down, it was stopped by the steel frame on the ceiling.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ren was excited. It was as he had expected!

With a bang, a strong force directly tilted the upper half body of Bamboo Node Blade by 70 degrees.

This made the bamboo monster stagger.

This fellow was agile enough, but its resistance and strength were much weaker than that fatty monster.

Seeing that the other party had suffered a serious blow, Lu Ren did not stop at all. As he took a step forward, all the muscles in his body suddenly tensed up. With his shoulder as his head, he charged into the arms of the Bamboo Node Blade monster.

Dong!

Under the powerful impact, the lean monster took a few steps sideways and hit the wall.

Lu Ren did not stop in his tracks either. He pressed himself tightly against the other party, and immediately, his body leaned back a little and separated a small distance. A foot, like a spear, was seen going toward its face, hitting its iron chin solidly.

Immediately after, he turned his right elbow around and smashed it down.

A series of smooth consecutive fights had caused the Bamboo Node Blade monster, which was in a narrow space, to be unable to launch any attacks at all. As it waved its arms, it would either knock against the wall or the steel frame above its head.

It could only be beaten up.

In order to lure this bamboo monster over, he had risked death several times.

In the end, Lu Ren stretched out his hand and grabbed the other party's blade joint. Then, he exerted strength with both hands. With all his might, the veins on his body bulged, and the muscles on his arms, chest, shoulders, and neck bulged as if they were about to explode.
