“He’s a monster, he won’t die,” Meng Ruliu continued running without looking back. “If I don’t run, I’m doomed.”
No sooner had Meng Ruliu finished speaking than a loud bang erupted behind them, bricks and tiles shattered and wood exploded. Chu Kai stood up from the ruins, wielding his halberd and chasing after the two.
