Chapter 107: Catch Me If You Can

  "It's really biting to death!" After panting for a breath, Jiǔ Mìng took a look at the time, it was already the third day... No wonder he had some doubts about how he got through these days. Every time he heard that there were mixed voices over there, he quickly rushed over, but those Moon Rabbit soldiers were like chasing rabbits, biting him to death and not letting go, forcing him to another place.

  It's been nine deaths and I still don't know what the situation is like there now.

  "This guy is really persistent!?" Not only was Nine Lives exhausted, but the Moon Rabbit soldiers chasing him were also getting nowhere. As he became more familiar with the surrounding terrain, they found it increasingly difficult to move around, and several times they almost had their special cards taken by Nine Lives.

  "At this rate, our mission will be impossible to complete." At the speed at which the nine of them were responding to her, in just one day, they would no longer be able to perfectly keep him under surveillance, let alone capture him. Capturing him alive and dead were two completely different stories, with the former being more difficult than the latter in any situation.

  As for crippling him? The state of disability has not appeared on Jiǔ Mìng's body, whether it was being shot through the arm or being hit in the knee, anesthetic-type ammunition had no effect on him.

  "Hold on a bit longer, we'll soon drive him to our camp and he won't be able to escape." The Moon Rabbit soldiers discussed through the communicator, looking at Jiumeng who was leaning against a rock with his hands holding his gun. "His shooting frequency has decreased a lot, he's almost out of bullets."

  Nine lives are almost out of bullets here, and not only does this gun require high-energy crystals, but the energy consumed in the war of attrition also requires high-energy crystals as a recovery agent. If not, by the second day, he would be exhausted to the point of being unable to move.

  Now he can only try his best to save the consumption of high-energy crystals, bullying people with short hands is not like this... Without this gun, he would have become a complete living target.

  The Moon Rabbit soldier suddenly received a new order here...

  "Yakumo Purple didn't even come to respond... Hmph!" The seated Kurenai muttered, quickly dodging to one side, making a few disorderly movements with great familiarity, evading the next few attacks. However, this time's attack seemed different from before - it wasn't just an attack followed by dormancy, but rather continuous attacks!

  Even the nine lives saw that in the distance appeared a dozen or so faintly distorted transparent existence traces, ding!

  He flung the firearm in his hand, and a crisp sound rang out on the sturdy gun body. A bullet shot to one side with great force, and Jiǔ Mìng was also knocked back by the impact of the bullet.

  "Every time I see him make this move, I feel like sighing... This gun's material is really resilient! Keep suppressing him!"

  "What the hell is this!?" As they started to suppress, the stone slab where Jiǔ Mìng was hiding had already been shattered into pieces by several bullets. It seemed that he hadn't even killed a rabbit in the past few days, so there was no need for such a big grudge.

  Boom!

  In the distance, a deafening roar suddenly burst out, and the pillar of light that pierced the sky made Jiuming's eyes twitch. Was this the Moon Capital's ultimate weapon? Or had some powerful demon made its move?

  The intense shock was clearly felt everywhere, and those relentless attacks that had been suppressing him were also affected, resulting in a brief interruption.

  "What a great opportunity!"

  A sealed card suddenly appeared in Jiǔ Mìng's hand, and in that instant his arm slightly lifted. As expected, a swift and fine strike that was almost imperceptible to him brushed past his wrist. This wasn't over yet; Jiǔ Mìng quickly dodged several times, avoiding those fine and swift attacks once again.

  "We'll meet again..."

  "Good grief, it's really because of this little thing that almost made a big mistake."

  With a slightly dazed expression, Jiǔ Mìng's fingers, which were holding the sealed card, moved slightly, and the entire sealed card was like a small shield blocking his wrist.

  This storage card, don't look at how easily it can be crushed by a pinch of nine lives, the reason is that its ownership belongs to him, outsiders can't do this, perhaps this storage card isn't something indestructible, but wanting to suffer damage from external forces other than the original owner isn't easy.

  So this sudden attack was blocked by Jiǔ Mìng, a snow-bright knife. If Jiǔ Mìng had continued to choose to crush the card just now, his wrist would have been cut off before he even launched it...

  "This time it's actually not a rabbit?"

  She stared at the sudden appearance of a pale purple single ponytail girl in front of her, who was wearing a very strange open-crotch long skirt... Hmm, this skirt is convenient for fighting? "Who are you?"

  "This question should be asked by me instead." The pale purple ponytailed girl slightly furrowed her brow, and applied a bit more force with her hand. As a result, the card that Nine held up against her weapon didn't budge in the slightest. Putting aside what material the card was made of for now, it was already impressive enough that he could hold back her slash with just two fingers.

  Maybe a good opponent?

  "You're probably not supposed to be able to wield a weapon like this... Who are you?!"

  Jiǔ Mìng's expression suddenly revealed a look of realization, "So you've been chasing me like mad dogs for so many days just for this!?"

  "What do you think?" The girl slightly frowned, being described as a 'mad dog' was indeed unpleasant for her. "Otherwise, how could a mere small fry like him possibly make us mobilize so many people?"

  She quickly fought back with language.

  "Ah... I'm just a small fry, and the soldiers of the Moon Palace have been chasing this small fry for so long without getting their hands on me... Tsk tsk." The Nine-Lives Monster smiled twice, although there was a self-deprecating tone to his words, but it made the sword-wielding girl's anger rise. What did he mean? He was referring to the "small fry" among small fries!

  "Hmph! It seems that their usual training has been too lenient." The knife-wielding girl scowled, her face darkening as she coldly snorted, "Now you have two choices."

  "Oh? Tell me about it?" Jiǔ Mìng's face showed a look of interest.

  "Even if your counterattack is only slightly injurious, even the humblest of demons, Tsukumogami, would show mercy. First, quickly lay down your arms and surrender. Second, I will subdue you, but you may have to endure some suffering."

  The girl with a knife said with a cold smile, "After all, my subordinates were injured, and I wouldn't do something to betray them!"

  "...declare your abuse of prisoners first...come and try to subdue me."

  Generally speaking, what is the reason why villains go wrong?

  Cause of death: talking too much!

  The knife is so bright that it can be used as a mirror, and Jiǔ Mìng (Nine Lives) suddenly lifted her head, with flame-like transparent markings appearing on her body. When Jiǔ Mìng chose to resist, the girl holding the knife knew that Jiǔ Mìng would not surrender quietly. Now seeing Jiǔ Mìng's abnormal state, she took a step ahead and made an attacking posture.

  Sheathe your sword...

  At the moment she withdrew her sword, the blade in her hand emitted a strong humming sound. How is this possible? It was just lightly flicked by the card in his hand, yet it had such power!!

  The girl with the knife was shocked, the intense trembling of the knife almost made her unable to hold onto the weapon. The power of the attack was generated solely by the muscle strength driven by two fingers... this is simply unscientific!

  No! He's going to run away!

  Seeing the nine lives popping open her weapon in an instant, the sword-wielding girl immediately realized what he was going to do. Her hands were unable to move, but she still had her feet. With a mighty kick, a large amount of dust rose from the ground due to the powerful force.

  Then a violent kick was blocked, and the residual force that burst out from the contact between her ankle and palm made the ground around her collapse with a loud noise. Jiǔ Mìng stood still like a mountain, his hand lightly blocking her attack... How is this possible? She had already used special powers to enhance her strength... And it's still not enough?

  Wait... this impact's tactile sensation is off! If Jiǔ Mìng can withstand her attack, the counterforce she brings must be very heavy. After all, with great power comes great physical intensity; otherwise, one punch would cause self-inflicted severe injury before even hitting the target due to being unable to withstand the explosive force.

  Now she felt like she was holding onto a high-intensity rubber practice block, it was a weird feeling, and even the nine-lived arm didn't have the slightest tremble of forced support.

  The sharp-eyed girl with the knife immediately noticed the anomaly on the palm of Jiumeng's hand grasping her ankle, a faint gray gas was emanating from his palm and dispersing around him, and his body seemed to have become slightly more transparent than before. What did this mean?

  Before she could think further, the sword-wielding girl suddenly saw the Nine-Lives' eerie smile as he grasped her ankle, slightly tilted his head and actually looked down at...her skirt.

  "You! Bastard!!!" The knife-wielding girl, whose anger had instantly reached its maximum, fiercely shook her leg, and the weapon that had stabilized from intense trembling was now slashing down at Jiǔ Mìng, apparently having ignited a fierce flame.

  "Well... you've been chasing me for several days, and I suppose it's about time I got some payback. The color is noted, no mistake! This is a threat!"

  In the blink of an eye, the knife-wielding girl was lifted off the ground by his double-layered spiritual explosion and slammed back down to the earth with a loud thud. A massive cloud of dust burst into the air due to the shockwave, and as for him, he even felt pain from that one swing!

  As for being kicked to death? If she was kicked to death like that, it would be too unjust for the foot that almost kicked herself to death just now!

  Where did this little girl get such strange power from!!

  “Cough...” The girl with the knife, who had been slammed to the ground by Jiuming's powerful blow, let out a painful cough. She wasn't dead from the fall, but it hurt like hell. Jiuming had put his strength into that one hit, and as soon as she recovered from the shock, the girl swiftly swung her weapon in her hand.

  The gray dust surrounding the surroundings was blown away by the knife wind, "Run... ran?"

  A dark aura known as resentment lingered around her, causing the Moon Rabbit soldiers who had already materialized to dare not approach, and could only watch with bated breath as their leader's expression grew increasingly somber.

  They had never seen the knife-wielding girl so angry before.
