The gentle energy that flowed from Dr. Fracture’s fingers into Zhang Lisheng’s skin,
Taking risk’s something that I hate. I won’t kill you, but…

Just when Dr. Fracture was treating Zhang Lisheng like his closest friend while killing him with a smile, a tall, skinny silhouette in thick, sports hoodie ran towards them from far away all of the sudden. The person in the chilly wind was talking on the phone while walking quickly in big steps. He walked pass Zhang Lisheng and Dr. Fracture like nothing was out of the ordinary.
However, the silhouette bent its body suddenly when he was passing by them. He opened his arms wide while ten sharp nails that seemed like the tip of a knife appeared on his fingers. He drew a huge, chilly ‘X’ in the air. The trajectory included half of Zhang Lisheng and Dr. Fracture’s bodies, which would cut both of them into four parts if that was what it was intended.
‘Whoosh’, a sharp wind whistling sound came out, so sharp that it would pierce through one’s eardrum. Zhang Lisheng could no longer fight back as the sharp claws came. Dr. Fracture who was attacked too had boiling red heat wave exploding from his body when the sharp claws were getting to him. It pushed away everything five meters away from him.
It was like a strong wind blowing on straws, Zhang Lisheng flew five to six meters into the air and fell on the cold cement road by the street, splashing a puddle of filthy melted snow. He felt pain as if his body was going to explode, he spat a mouthful of fresh blood. However, there was elation and chilly gleam in his eyes as he mumbled silently.
Meanwhile, Dr. Fracture who released a mysterious power to protect himself hopped onto a tree by the street instead of chasing after the person. Nobody knew he did that because of the draining of power was too much or he was innately cautious. He seemed like he would plan his next move after getting out of the place.
However, his body froze when he was three to four meters in mid-air. Subsequently, bloody holes arranged in curves appeared on his chest all of a sudden. He was bending in an odd and unnatural angle between his head and toes. At the same time, the hunchbacked silhouette that was blown away by Dr. Fracture’s protective heat wave fell onto the ground as he curled up in the air.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he jumped up lightly like he had spring under his shoes. He dashed towards Zhang Lisheng who was lying in the puddle. However, as he dashed one to two meters away, ‘krr…’, there was cracking sound coming from his bones as if he was hit by a car that was driving on a highway. He flew tens of meters out in devastating shriek and fell onto the ground.
The hunchbacked silhouette that was injured badly did not give up just yet. He spat a mouthful of blood and pieces of flesh while roaring and dashed towards Zhang Lisheng while his hand turned into a beast claw with spotted fur. Just when the gigantic beast claw was going to grab Zhang Lisheng, a wind-whistling sound came from Lowbige school compound from far away. A gigantic toad whose size could be comparable with a large armored vehicle occupied the school field. It opened its big, black mouth and released a sound barrier-tearing high-pressured spiral stream.
The stream hit the tree by the street directly and hit on the beast claw, it was a close call. ‘Bang’, a loud thud came while the stream and beast claw disappeared. There was mist coming out of the collision. In the night, the dazzling neon lights in the empty street in New York Brooklyn shone onto a giant beast of four limbs, tens of meters long with ugly scales all over its body.
The giant beast was clenching its teeth with Dr. Fracture who was slightly twitching its mouth. Every time its mouth moved, the scariest serial killer in New York’s history would shake in ultimate pain. Meanwhile, the hunchbacked silhouette who fell behind the big, broken tree was shrieking continuously.

Damn, I’m surprised that this fella isn’t your friend. It’s your lucky day, kid,
The hunchbacked silhouette watched that while panting on the ground. He shouted with a roar,
Next time, next time I’ll give you a good one,
He got up from the ground with the support of his both hands while screaming. He then turned into nine silhouettes that looked exactly the same and scattered off rapidly like civet cats.
Zhang Lisheng identified the hunchbacked silhouette’s voice. It was Mountain Cat who came all way to New York to take revenge after healing himself in China. However, he did not control his wizard worm to go after him with all of his might like he did the last time. The reason being Zhang Lisheng thought a bird in the hand was worth two in the bush. Since he already got his hands on Dr. Fracture, he should do everything he could to kill this enemy first. He did not want to let the opportunity slip just because he was going after Mountain Cat and gotten nothing in the end.
He supported himself up with one hand while clenching his teeth. He stood up and staggered slowly to Island Dragon which body was now invisible as the mist faded. At the moment, the negative emotion that was rushing in Dr. Fracture’s head was so intense that it almost ran the wizard power in Zhang Lisheng’s body automatically.
Bearing the pain that was coming from the boiling of wizard power in his body, Zhang Lisheng lifted his head and looked at the dying Dr. Fracture,
Doctor, it seems like today isn’t your lucky day but that’s uncertain. If we’re not at the street of New York’s bustling city, I’m more than willing to spend the long night with you because it benefits me. But I must run away to prevent exposing my identity. It seems like I must end your suffering as soon as possible. Judging by that, you’re considered very lucky.

Mountoad arrived at Zhang Lisheng’s feet like it was riding on a rapid wind by hopping as he spoke. Subsequently, Zhang Lisheng chanted witchcraft incantation to expand Mountoad’s body. It extended its gigantic tongue and stuck on half of Dr. Fracture’s body that was hanging outside of the giant lizard’s mouth. He then spat a mouthful of black blood and shouted ‘assemble’ in Chinese with his deep voice. He spat the blood onto Dr. Fracture.
Dr. Fracture’s body that was being pulled apart by the two wizard worms turned into a cloud of fog all of the sudden when it was tearing apart,
You must have thought you’ve gotten everything in your hand, young Dark Walker. Let me give you a taste of failing to kill your enemy at the very last moment. You should be proud of yourself that you made me show my trump card. You managed to escape my critical hit because of your cautious attitude that’s like a lady, you’ve won my genuine respect because of that. To show my respect, I’ll end your life directly when we meet next time…
A husky mumble came from the black fog and faded slowly.
However, a bunch of flying bugs gathered around before it faded away. People who did not witness that would find it hard to believe, the fact that there were so many flying bugs in New York’s street since it was a cold winter when Christmas was just around the corner. It was annoying if there was one bug that usually rested in the field, hoping to spend the winter in hibernation appeared. However, it was petrifying when tens of thousands of them came together with a buzzing sound. The bugs chased after the fog that Dr. Fracture turned into while they died one after another. However, there were more and more bugs coming after him.

What…what did you do Witch Doctor? What did you do to me…
Dr. Fracture’s shriek came within the fog, he was no longer as calm and leisure as he was. Zhang Lisheng watched the red blood drops falling from midair like it was raining, he had no expression in his eyes as he watched silently. The blood dyed the entire street red.

Witch Doctor, killing me doesn’t benefit you. Since…no…no…
Dr. Fracture seemed like he wanted to bargain with Zhang Lisheng but he could no longer speak. He was getting weaker slowly and disappeared into the quiet night eventually. At the moment, ear-piercing police siren came from far away. From Mountain Cat’s attack to Dr. Fracture being killed by witchcraft incantation, everything happened in lightning speed. Dr. Fracture’s struggle took nothing longer than three to five minutes. However, the patrolling police in Brooklyn community reacted in such a short period of time.
Zhang Lisheng let out a long breath and controlled Mountoad to lick the blood spots on the street clean. Bearing the pain, he walked quickly to the tree that was destroyed by the high-pressured spiral stream coming from Mountoad.
There was a person who fell on the melted snow under the tree, it was Maddie. Her face was filthy from the fall, she was shaking and her mouth was opened as she looked at the young man blankly under the neon lights that were continuously changing colors. She could not even exclaim now.

Can you drive?
Zhang Lisheng who was expressionless asked all of a sudden. Hearing him speak, Maddie was stunned for a moment before she stuttered ‘ya…’ while nodding hard.

You’ll drive my car, let’s leave this place right now.

Maddie struggled to get up in panic. She ran to Zhang Lisheng’s Explorer while nodding continuously. She rushed onto the driver’s seat. The girl seemed to know very well that calling the police or running away by driving the car could not fight Zhang Lisheng’s supernatural powers. She sat there terrified while panting, waiting for that scary young man to give her order as he got into the car limping,
Drive ahead first and pull over three blocks later.

She started the car engine and drove forward as she was ordered. ‘Wee woo wee woo…’, the police siren went on as the Explorer passed the rushing police car by when it drove out of the street where Lowbige Junior High was. Maddie pulled over the car after driving three blocks on the empty streets clumsily with a couple of cars driving by occasionally. She began crying suddenly and said with her husky voice,
Please don’t kill me… I’m begging you, I’m begging you… I found out that you left when I bumped into George… George when I was looking for you… I felt sorry to have left you because you hired me as your date so I came after you… I’m…I’m sorry…


Maddie, the person who attacked me earlier who I ended up killing was Dr. Fracture. I think you’ll know who he is if you read the news, whether he deserves to die. Listen to me, don’t be afraid. I never hurt the innocent. Please swear that you won’t tell anyone what you saw tonight.

Maddie shouted while lifting her fingers immediately,
I swear, I swear to god that I’ll keep your secret forever.
