Chapter 323: Mission
Chu Ge was dumbfounded as he watched this contest of flesh and blood.
Ning Xiaofeng became more and more frantic under the stimulation of the severe pain, and his ten fingers pierced deep into the back of the flaming sword like ten scimitars, tearing his back to pieces.
Even with sharp fangs, he tore off a large piece of flesh and blood on his body in one mouth, and soon saw Bai Sensen's bones.
But the flaming sword really didn't let go like a hot iron nail into the rock.
Even, the splashed blood turned into a raging fireball, rushing towards Ning Xiaofeng, like a moth to a fire, going forward and turning him into a burning man.
No matter how rough Ning Xiaofeng was, he was ignited by the will of the Flame Sword.
His screams gradually changed from hideous to terrible, and from bitter to weak.
The original ugly face, covered in flames and charred, cracked in pieces, fell down piece by piece, and the rest was like a skeleton.
The deformed and protruding skeletal faces are full of confusion, pleading, and despair.
He couldn't understand at all why the Flame Sword had no grudges against him in the past, and no enmity in the near future, why he had to stare at him to the death, and even pay the price of his life, he had to die with him.
He wanted to open his mouth and beg the Flame Sword to stop, but he just wanted to run away with his tail between his legs, and he didn't dare to return to Lingshan again.
But he also understood that it was just an extravagant hope, because the Flaming Sword was even crazier than him, a complete lunatic.
At this time, his eyeballs were burned through, and two red lotuses bloomed from his eye sockets.
Under the severe pain, Ning Xiaofeng struggled in the end, and forcibly tore off the two large pieces of flesh and blood behind the Flame Sword.
The blood of the Flame Sword surged wildly, but it burned the moment it burst out, as if adding a pair of huge and friendless flame wings to him.
He flapped the flame wings vigorously, further increasing the impact and penetration, it was like a raging meteor outside the sky, killing Ning Xiaofeng on the mountain rock.
Rumble!
There was a loud noise from the rocks, and large chunks cracked.
Ning Xiaofeng was completely pierced by the Flame Sword, and he couldn't even scream, so he was completely engulfed by the flames.
The flames exploded from the depths of the mountain rock, almost bursting the world in front of Chu Ge's eyes, and after the blinding white, there was darkness for half a minute.
Chu Ge could only feel a warm light enveloping him.
This feeling neutralized the destructive power of the fifth-level genetic potion and the after-effects of the fierce battle, and finally made him regain his ability to move.
Half a minute later, the world was clear again.
The first thing Chu Ge saw was a humanoid hole on the mountain rock.
It was like a strange-shaped ground-penetrating bomb, which hit the mountain rock at a depth of more than three meters, which was really terrifying and destructive.
Looking at the bottom of the mountain rock, there is the fragmented body of the "madman" Ning Xiaofeng.
A hole the size of a basin had been pierced through his chest and abdomen, most of his organs were missing, and the rest of his flesh and bones, including his bones, had been charred, and as the mountain rock collapsed, it smashed into the wreckage, and instantly turned into a black powder.
He was burned to ashes by the Flaming Sword, and he couldn't die anymore!
And the sword of flame ......
He was lying not far from Ning Xiaofeng, also seriously injured and on the verge of dying.
His right hand was shattered by a grenade just now, and at this moment, his left arm burned to the ground as a "burning", and the remaining remnants of his body were also covered with the scars left by Ning Xiaofeng's dying counterattack, and even the bones and internal organs were clearly visible.
The blood had also been turned into fuel, and it was almost burned to the ground, and now, his wound was like a miserable white lip, and there was no trace of blood to be seen.
Even though the injury was so severe, he still struggled to get up, squirming his body and arching in the direction of Ning Xiaofeng, to see if the enemy was completely dead, whether he wanted to condense the last life force and make up for the blow.
"Flaming Sword!"
Chu Ge couldn't help but rush over and hugged the middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance tightly in his arms.
Before this action, Chu Ge really didn't expect that he would worship and be moved to such an extent by a folk hero who crossed the law.
But now, even if he pays a few years of life, as long as he can exchange his life for the Flame Sword, he, he will let it go!
"Where did you hide my backpack?"
Chu Ge said in a trembling voice, "Tell me, I'll go get it, there are a lot of first-aid medicines in it, as long as you inject it, you'll be fine, you won't die, don't worry, I won't let you die, never!" ”
The Flaming Sword smiled.
In most places around him, he was either caught by Ning Xiaofeng and his flesh and blood were blurred, or his superpowers were out of control, eating himself, and there were also signs of carbonization.
Only one face, except for the blood stains and soot, is still intact.
Chu Ge found that when he laughed, he was a very warm and attractive man.
Perhaps, a long time ago, before the baptism of years and the weight of life left so many marks on his face, he was also a handsome and dashing young man with an incomparably bright and free future.
"Don't bother, it's useless, I'm overdrawn and incurable."
The Flaming Sword said calmly.
He seems to have returned to the light, his spirit is quite clear, he faces his ending calmly, and only cares about one thing, "Ning Xiaofeng...... He's dead? ”
"Dead!"
Chu Ge gritted his teeth and said, "He was crushed by you, and there is no place to bury him!" ”
"That's good, that's good."
The Flame Sword let out a long sigh of relief, and the tense nerves and muscles gradually relaxed, as if letting go of the burden that had been carried for many years, and muttered, "Then, my mission is finally complete." ”
"Why?"
Chu Ge's tears rolled in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask again, "Why are you folk heroes like this, talking about 'justice' and 'mission' at every turn, no one has given you such a mission, and you have to sacrifice your precious lives!" ”
"You don't understand that every superpower has its own side effects or sequelae, in other words, awakening, there is a price."
The life force of the Flame Sword gradually passed, and his body became colder and colder, but in his unfocused eyes, the invisible flames were still hot, and even brighter and brighter.
It was as if, at the last moment of his life, he had condensed everything he had awakened into his eyes, turned into a scorching red lotus, and projected it into Chu Ge's heart.
"At first, I thought that I had only awakened the ability to control flames freely, a superpower that was full of streets and had no creativity-just flames, which were neither as convenient as bullets and firearms, nor as powerful as aircraft cannons, and would not change my life much at all except for the convenience of cooking."
The Flame Sword smiled self-deprecatingly, "But, I was wrong, and it didn't take long for me to find out that in addition to freely manipulating the flames, I seemed to have awakened another superpower that I could listen to...... The voices of those who have died.
Ma Xiaoyu, Wang Lin, Zhou Yuhang, Nie Xinghua, Zhao Lei...... All the people, all the people killed by the Ning Xiaofeng group, and the thousands of innocent people killed by other criminals, when I see their names and photos, and even touch their scarred corpses, I feel as if I can hear their wails, screams, moans, and desperate roars.
"These unjust souls follow me all the time, they float around me, they appear in front of my eyes and in my mind, they are not hideous, they do not show their teeth and claws, they just look at me pitifully, and plead with me silently.
"I also know that what I have done has crossed the line of the law, but I have tried all legal means.
"I, I can't tell them, I've tried my best, but there's nothing I can do - maybe I can tell the unjust soul and myself that before I awaken my superpowers, and pretend to have a clear conscience.
"But when I awakened my superpowers, I couldn't deceive myself, and I knew there was one last way, the one way you see.
"That's right, I didn't take over the sacred mission from the official and the law, but directly from the victims, if this mission is not completed, I will live like the walking dead for the rest of my life, which is the 'side effect' of my awakening."
"What's the joke?"
Chu Ge had mixed tastes, and resisted the urge to shake the Flame Sword vigorously, "What kind of grievances are there, it's just your own imagination, it's a mission that you imposed on yourself!" ”
"Maybe, maybe these unjust souls are all imagined by me."
The Flame Sword smiled faintly, "But does it matter, at least for now, they can all rest in peace." ”
His eyes widened, the light under his eyes gradually faded, and his quiet and tranquil expression really seemed to see the souls of injustice in the sky, disappearing like crystal butterflies.
