TL - Chapter 48: Wu Yu 07 (3)

The barrel of a gun stared down at me as I became briefly distracted. My mind blanked as I went all out, grabbing Zhu Shuyun’s arm and twisting it toward him. Amidst the chaos, I heard the cracking of bones and flickers of fear, anguish, confusion, and realization flash before Zhu Shuyun’s eyes.
