Even with such injuries, Gao Kui still charged at the heroic spirits time and time again, his legs, with torn ligaments and contused cartilage, still undiminished in speed.
His forearms were almost completely devoid of flesh and blood, not to mention wrist flexors and palmaris longus muscles, but that didn't stop Gao Kui from nimbly swinging his arms to parry and block.
Of course, while enduring immense pain to get close and entangle with the Heroic Spirit, Gao Kui also mechanically used the Yin Flow of Words to relentlessly attack the Heroic Spirit, leaving one wound after another on its body and armor.
It inflicts 300 casualties on the enemy but also 8,000 casualties on itself.
Chen Motong was completely shocked by Gao Kui's fighting style and those golden eyes that seemed ready to die.
At that moment, Chen Motong understood why certain cult films had so many fans and why so many people loved cult movies.
Violence, the bizarre, horror, dark humor, intense visual stimulation, and an extreme and abnormal style... combined with the director's strong personal will, ultimately created a strange and absurd film.
Blade Runner, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club...
Such cult content can always cause some form of mental pollution to viewers, whether physical or psychological.
These types of films are not market-driven and are not popular with most viewers. However, viewers who can connect with a particular cult film are very likely to become die-hard fans of that film.
His usual dark humor, neuroticism, and unreliability are contrasted by his incomprehensible compassion in critical moments, his unwavering determination to save others, and his almost self-destructive and bloody fighting style...
Gao Kui is practically a walking cult film.
Chen Motong felt as if she had clicked into the energy of this cult film.
Chapter 56 You can only go this far, you cannot go any further.
Giving up the chance of survival to others, fighting with a self-destructive, bloody style, all to save someone he'd only known for a few days and didn't even like.
The scene was bloody and violent, yet the spirit it evoked was deeply moving.
Few people could remain unmoved when treated this way, at least Chen Motong couldn't. Whether one could understand it or not, this kind of "kindness" touched the heart.
Chen Motong was shocked, and so were the heroic spirits.
You're cheating again, damn it!
Without using incantations or alchemy, any hybrid or dragon species needs to engage its muscles to perform actions such as dodging or gripping.
The nervous system sends signals, muscles contract, and bones move, ultimately generating force to produce movement...
This is common sense.
At this moment, Gao Kui defied this common sense.
Despite the shattered muscle and cartilage in her legs and the mere remnants of flesh and blood in her arms, she could still move flexibly as if nothing had happened.
Anyone who dares to say Gao Kui didn't use cheats, the spirits will slap that person twice on the spot. You're not even acting anymore, how dare you say you didn't use cheats?
God-ordained indestructible bones that cannot be broken, athletic abilities that defy physiological systems, an indomitable fighting spirit, and excellent fighting skills inherited from "Constantine"...
The spirit realized that it seemed unlikely he could kill or defeat Gao Kui in the short term.
On the contrary, he himself suffered many injuries under Gao Kui's fighting style of risking his life for injury, and his limb strength and coordination were inevitably affected to some extent.
If I continue to entangle with Gao Kui, I am very likely to be dragged down before I can completely defeat him.
This temporary hunting "puppet" was still too poor in overall quality, only A-grade by hybrid standards. Even after being enhanced during its transformation into a Deadpool, it was still far inferior...
It would be better to use a puppet, as it is not of great use.
Should we abandon Gao Kui and then pursue Chen Motong? With Longinus in hand, Chen Motong would probably be even harder to kill than Gao Kui.
He had personally witnessed just a few days ago how tenacious Chu Tianjiao's vitality was, wielding the Longinus.
After only a moment's thought, the heroic spirit made a decision: he still had to kill Chen Motong.
Gao Kui and Chu Tianjiao were difficult to kill, partly because they were overpowered, and partly because they both possessed an indomitable and maddening will.
Without that kind of will, even with cheat codes, a roadside road will still be a roadside road.
Making a decision, Yingling slashed Gao Kui's right arm radius bone with her sword, forcing him back, then turned and charged towards Chen Motong, brandishing her sword.
He didn't think Chen Motong had any strong will; he was just a vessel.
To the Heroic Spirit's surprise, Chen Motong seemed to be infected by it. His golden eyes became resolute, and he gripped the long sword Longinus tightly. Imitating Gao Kui who had just charged at the Heroic Spirit, he stomped off the ground to meet the Heroic Spirit.
She has been contaminated.
Cult films can cause mental pollution to the audience. Having witnessed Gao Kui, a walking cult film, going to such lengths to save her, Chen Motong could not help but be moved.
Longinus possessed decisive power.
If Longinus had been in Gao Kui's hands, he would not have had such a difficult and brutal fight, or at least it would not have looked so miserable.
But Gao Kui gave Longinus to her.
While Gao Kui was fighting the Heroic Spirits like a madman, she did nothing despite having Longinus by her side, which was completely unacceptable.
Perhaps Gao Kui didn't expect her to do anything, but Chen Motong, having realized what was happening, would not allow herself to do nothing.
Clang!
Longinus clashed with the ring-pommel sword, producing a piercing clang. The immense impact transmitted to Chen Motong's arm, shattering the girl's thumb, wrist, ulna, radius, muscles, and ligaments...
A piercing pain shot through her brain, but then subsided as Longinus healed her injuries. Only then did the girl realize the extent of the pain Gao Kui had endured and the sheer willpower with which he had fought.
She didn't think her willpower was as strong as Gao Kui's inhuman strength, but if she could just hold on for a little while longer, that should be enough.
With her long, dark red hair flying wildly, the girl gripped Longinus and struggled to defend herself, her silver teeth clenched as she looked at the horribly mutilated Gao Kui not far away.
Gao Kui understood the girl's gaze.
At that moment, Gao Kui seemed to see Xiuqin standing on the city wall of Ping'an County, shouting "Fire at me!" to Li Yunlong. She was truly a heroine.
"In fact, you don't need to give me any signals, and I didn't intend to ask for your opinion. My Italian cannon is already ready."
Gao Kui grinned and muttered to himself, uttering his first words since the start of the war.
From the moment the heroic spirit turned and rushed towards Chen Motong, he had already begun to brew the mutated Yin Current, without any hesitation or regard for Chen Motong's feelings.
This indifference was even stronger than his determination to save Chen Motong.
Even though the act still constitutes a good deed of saving others, it seems quite different from Emmanuel carrying the cross two thousand years ago.
First airflow channel, second, third... seventh...
Seven airflow channels are far from Gao Kui's limit; the previous spiral airflow had already gathered more than a dozen ordinary Yin flows.
This was a move meant to kill the heroic spirit. Gao Kui originally intended to further push the limits and gather more airflow channels, but when the seventh airflow was generated, Gao Kui strangely stopped.
He sensed a will, a revelation.
That was a revelation that was completely different from Emmanuel's revelation, a revelation that was more majestic, more authoritative, more real, and more trustworthy.
It's as if someone descended into my heart and said to my soul: You can only go this far, you cannot go beyond.
Gao Kui chose to trust this feeling, raised his hand and pointed at Ying Ling and Chen Motong. A spiral stream of air formed by the convergence of seven regular Yin Streams swept out and drilled towards Chen Motong.
The spiraling airflow of the rotating attack completely pierced through the girl, pulverizing her flesh, organs, and bones inside her chest cavity.
Broken flesh and bones mixed into the spiraling airflow, turning it blood red, and continued to drill towards the heroic spirit.
The heroic spirit instinctively tried to dodge, but the spiraling airflow was extremely fast and very close to him, leaving him almost no room to dodge.
As expected, the Heroic Spirit's armor, scales, and exoskeleton, which were already severely damaged in the waist and abdomen area, were now struck again, making matters worse and causing the entire body to be abruptly severed at the waist.
Chen Motong's injuries healed in an instant, and the broken body of the heroic spirit fell heavily to the ground, just like Odin who was cut in half at the waist by Chu Tianjiao a few days ago.
The golden eyes beneath the black iron mask gradually dimmed, revealing a complex and contradictory mix of emotions: shock, fear, disbelief, and absolute certainty.
This is a stark contrast to Odin, who had calmly accepted his fate of death just days earlier.
"That's it...that's it..."
With a murmur of sudden realization, the light in the spirit's eyes gradually faded.
Chapter 57 Duanmu took me to Metersbonwe
The heroic spirit that acted as regent is dead; the remaining dead servants are merely lambs to the slaughter.
Chen Motong ran towards Gao Kui with her back to the setting sun, her dark red hair flowing behind her head. Ignoring her tattered clothes and blood-stained body, it was truly romantic, just like the female lead in a romance movie who, after going through various trials and misunderstandings, finally proves her true feelings and runs to the male lead.
As Gao Kui watched Chen Motong rushing towards him, he thought of Nan Xizi from "Ultraman Ace".
Is there an episode where Hokutosei and Minami Yuko leap towards each other and transform under the setting sun? Takagi doesn't quite remember, but he feels there might be such an episode, after all, no one understands the sunset better than Tsuburaya Productions.
Then Chen Motong rushed over and stabbed Gao Kui, the blow swift and vicious, straight into his heart.
"This is to repay you."
Chen Motong released the knife hilt, took a half step back, stuck out her tongue, paused, and then whispered, "Thank you, thank you so much..."
Those who heard this wept as his heartbreaking injuries were instantly healed. Gao Kui, wincing in pain, unleashed a stream of Yin energy to reap the remaining remnants of the attacking Death Servants, and said, "If you really want to thank me, could you do me a favor later?"
You run towards me, I run towards you, and then we both do a somersault and leap towards each other at the same time…
"wake up."
With the crisis temporarily averted and the tense atmosphere dissipating considerably, a deep sense of exhaustion followed. Chen Motong weakly complained, "Ultraman doesn't exist."
No matter how beautifully we jump, no matter how perfectly we recreate the scene, we can't combine into Ultraman Ace. We'll just crash together and fall flat on our faces.
Gao Kui drew Longinus and leisurely continued to reap the rewards from Deadpool, saying with a regretful tone, "Indeed, Ultraman does not exist, and the transformation moves of Hokutosei and Minami Yuko are indeed quite difficult."
Chen Motong looked at Gao Kui in surprise.
"Did you think I would say something like, 'You're lying, you Baltan alien'?"
Gao Kui sighed: "Don't underestimate me. I have common sense that there is no Ultraman in this world. I'm just reminiscing about my childhood and want to recreate a famous scene."
"Then I must be a really bad woman, hurting your innocent and childlike heart."
Chen Motong strolled alongside Gao Kui, glancing around at the merciless slain servants. After a pause, she said, "No matter what, you saved me."
If you really like it, I could even dress up as Hokutosei and Minami Yuko with you for a time, but you'll need to bring your own transformation gear.
"Ultraman Ring?"
"Correct."
"Forget it. Ultraman Ace is an old show from many years ago. Transformation devices and related merchandise for older Ultramen are usually quite expensive. I'd rather buy a Spark Lens and transform into Ultraman Tiga."
Gao Kui instantly fell for someone else. Thinking about it carefully, Tiga wasn't bad either. His transformation pose was even more amazing. Nagano Hiroshi's waist twisting was so enviable that even men would be envious.
