Hell's Handbook

Chapter 258: Indecent Woman

Su Jin stood in the crater and casually dusted himself off. Murray’s punch had been pretty strong, but that was about it. There was no way that amount of strength could hurt him at all. If the rest weren’t able to carry on the fight, then this crater was definitely big enough for him to bury all three of them.

The trio stared in disbelief at Su Jin, while Su Jin shrugged and said, “I know, s often portray wizards and the like as people who cannot handle close range battles and can’t hold up against something like a good old punch in the face. But guys, we’re not in a . Are you prepared to face my wrath now?”

“We’ve got to attack together and not let him have time to catch his breath. He can’t use psychokinesis, so he can’t be that hard to fight!” roared Murray as he transformed himself into a colony of bats again and flew toward Su Jin.

Jack and Tracy had no choice but to agree with Murray. In any case, they had to quickly kill Su Jin first and not allow him any time to rest. Once Su Jin regained his ability to control his psychokinesis, they were definitely doomed.

Jack launched an attack too. A pair of bat wings emerged from his back with a loud whoosh, and frightening fangs grew out from his mouth. His situation was similar to Murray’s, except they had chosen to evolve a little differently from each other.

Murray had inherited the agility and creepiness of vampires, while Jack had inherited their strong body and incredible ability to heal. The two of them had become like this after going through a particular Challenge, and this transformation had enabled them to get through a lot of Challenges.

Tracy was in a bit of a pickle. She only had psychokinesis and had no other way of attacking her opponents. Su Jin had trouble controlling his psychokinesis, but it didn’t mean that it was gone. If she used her psychokinesis to attack Su Jin, she might end up killing herself instead.

Murray was faster and had already reached Su Jin. The bats he had turned himself into were all able to suck blood out of any living creature very quickly, and their fangs were laced with a powerful numbing substance. Anything that was bitten by these bats would be immobilized instantly.

When Su Jin saw all the bats coming his way, he suddenly thought of how he had handled the multiple worms shooting at him during the Alien Invasion Challenge, so he decided to try the same stunt again.

His rapid spinning created a tremendous centrifugal force. The bats that came closest to him were hit by the wind Su Jin had created and turned into minced meat instantly.

Murray was horrified and quickly made all the bats retreat. Every bat was made from his own blood, so if Su Jin killed too many at once, he would be greatly weakened.

But after Su Jin spun several times, he had to stop because he felt like vomiting. As he realized that he couldn’t spin anymore, Jack had reached him and he launched an attack that carried more energy than Murray’s. His fists were like a cannonball just fired from a cannon as they hit Su Jin in the chest.

Su Jin was still feeling nauseous and immediately puked everything out when hit by Jack’s fists. Jack wanted to maximize the strength in his fists, so he had lowered his body to lower his center of gravity, but this resulted in Su Jin’s puke getting all over his head.

Jack almost lost it. They were engaged in battle, so why was saliva involved? Besides, the stuff on his head wasn’t even saliva!

“Thanks!” said Su Jin a little embarrassedly. He had been feeling really awful earlier and Jack’s punch had been just enough to make him puke and feel better.

“I want you to die! I want you to die!” Jack seemed to have gone mad as his arms were suddenly covered in a layer of scales, and he swung them violently toward Su Jin.

“Hey, hey, watch it! You’re going to spray all that stuff on your head on me at this rate!” said Su Jin with a look of disdain.

Jack’s eyes bulged angrily. The stuff on his head came out of Su Jin’s own body, for crying out loud. How could he say something shameless like that? Jack was even more determined to kill Su Jin now.

Jack’s attacks became more and more ferocious, which surprised even Murray. But that wasn’t a bad thing anyway. What was more puzzling to Murray was how this “Xu Ran” merely puked after Jack punched him that hard earlier.

Su Jin had no idea that Jack and Murray thought he had puked because of Jack’s punch. But he didn’t have to explain himself. He continued to nimbly dodge all of Jack’s attacks. This man was very strong but didn’t plan his strikes at all. He was like a strong man who was just swinging an axe randomly at another person. If that person was hit by the axe, the person would be badly hurt. But if he continued to swing the axe without hitting anyone, he was going to hurt himself in the long run.

Murray joined in the fight again, while Tracy gave up the idea of using psychokinesis altogether. She retrieved a sniper gun and used it to shoot at Su Jin. Even if an owner wasn’t really very capable, the one thing they were good at was shooting. Almost every owner knew how to use a gun.

The trio quickly worked together to fight Su Jin simultaneously. While Jack was throwing punches at Su Jin, Murray turned into either bats or red beams of light to assist him, and Tracy kept shooting away. The problem was that the sniper gun she was using wasn’t an ordinary gun and its bullets could cause more damage than usual. They still couldn’t get through Su Jin’s skin, but it still hurt.

“Playing with guns, huh? I’ve got them guns too!” Su Jin started to get annoyed, so he pressed a palm against his Handbook and retrieved Black Fire and White Ash.

He held onto the two guns and started spraying bullets at his attackers. The two guns could turn its owner’s Spirit Power into bullets that carried any specific attribute, so Murray and Jack felt the impact of these bullets immediately.

The bullets shooting out of White Ash contained saintly attributes, which was like covering ice with flames to the two men who were evolving into vampires. Jack retreated with a loud howl after getting hit and he was trembling all over.

Murray and Jack’s first reaction was to escape. The two of them flew into the sky and abandoned Tracy, who couldn’t fly. If Su Jin were an ordinary owner with just some saintly weapon, they were still confident of defeating him. But Su Jin without those guns was already very hard to fight. With the help of those bullets, he had become impossible to fight.

Su Jin didn’t bother chasing after the other two men, since he wouldn’t be able to catch up anyway. They could fly and he could fly too, but he needed psychokinesis to fly. Even if he used the Protection of the Gods to help him, that would still require a large amount of psychokinesis, which was difficult for him to produce right now. Black Fire and White Ash required a lot less, so he was still able to use them. Protection of the Gods required too much for him to handle for too long.

But even though two of them had escaped, one had been left behind. One could even say that Tracy had brought this upon herself. If she hadn’t caused Su Jin to be unable to gather his psychokinesis, he would have gone after Murray and Jack by now and she would have had the chance to escape. But now, she could only wait to die.

Su Jin gave up running after Murray and Jack, and smiled brightly as he walked toward Tracy. He glanced at her and said, “You have psychokinesis, huh. Excellent, excellent… your method was very effective and I admit defeat, but… I hope you can admit defeat now too.”

Tracy had a look of fear in her eyes as she responded immediately, “Please don’t kill me! I can become your servant and obey your commands! I’ll do anything!”

Su Jin raised an eyebrow. This woman was good at adapting in order to survive. After thinking about it, he figured that it was a good idea to keep this woman alive. He still had many questions about the other two who could turn into bats and he could get answers from this woman.

“Come with me,” Su Jin said to Tracy. Then he suddenly spun around and said, “If you dare to pull any funny tricks, I’ll kill you immediately. You hear me?”

“Yes! Got it!” said Tracy frantically. She seethed inside at how Murray and Jack had just abandoned her like that. This damned Dark Council, she thought. She was going to make them pay for doing this to her.

Meanwhile, Jack and Murray flew as quickly as they could. After they were sure that Su Jin hadn’t come after them, they slowed down a little. Jack sighed and said, “We just left Tracy behind… Her father will not let us off.”

“Humph, so what? The Dark Council may not be afraid of him. If we hadn’t done that, you and I might be dead by now,” said Murray in a frosty voice. But the thought of Tracy’s father gave him a headache. He was a famous owner among the ones on their side of the world and rumor had it that he was one of the top 100 owners on the owner ranking.

If he found out that the two of them had abandoned his daughter, he wasn’t going to let them off easy. After giving it some thought, Murray said, “Let’s think of a way to rescue her then. If we can’t, then… just kill her. Nobody would know what really happened. We’ll just tell her father that Xu Ran killed her and that we did our best to rescue her. Even if we still get punished for that, I don’t think it’ll be too harsh.”

Jack nodded slightly. That was the only thing they could do now. He sighed heavily and said, “Exactly how powerful is this Xu Ran? He’s a psychokinesis owner, yet he was still so formidable after being unable to use his psychokinesis. I think his physical body is stronger than ours after evolving.”

Murray sighed as well. He had miscalculated his opponent badly this time. But it didn’t matter. Xu Ran was all by himself, while the Dark Council was a bigger group. Even if it was going to take a long time to slowly wear Xu Ran down, he was certain they could eventually wear him down to death.

At the same time, Su Jin brought Tracy back to the bungalow. By the time he got back, all the lights inside were on. It was clear that his disappearance had been discovered.

Since that was the case, he didn’t have to go through the window he left from and marched through the front door. Kano Mai was the leader and the rest were gathered in the living room, talking among themselves. Their faces lit up when they saw Su Jin enter the house, but their expressions differed when they saw that he had brought home not just a woman, but a very beautiful one.

“This stupid womanizer,” thought Kano Mai.

“Mr. Su is a senior in every aspect. He’s even able to snag himself a foreign beauty so easily. I really admire him,” thought Yun Tianye.

“Mr. Su is a martial artist alright. He’s still energetic even late at night, so he went looking for a woman. Where in the world did he find such a beautiful woman?” thought Thomas.

“She’s so pretty!” thought both Zhou Zhenghe and Wei Wu.

“She must be some indecent woman!” thought Sang Qiu’er and Yun Han.
