Chapter Eighty-Eight: Dying Struggle
Lao Hua's face at this moment no longer has the indifference of Fang Cai.
He thought he had a complete victory.
The assassins he sent again and again were not just to kill Jiang Xiao and his party. Even if he fails, he can completely understand the abilities of Jiang Xiao and his party. Now Lao Hua knows very well that among the remaining three, no one has the ability to pose a threat to him.
Xinyun's spiritual coercion could not be effective against him, who was also a priest, and the ability to predict all physical attacks could not see through the severed space.
Zhao Tianyu, a warrior who can only engage in hand-to-hand combat, even if there are a hundred or a thousand, it is impossible to hurt half of his hair. If you can't hit the opponent's body, no matter how sharp Gao Zhoubo's hand knife is, it won't help.
As for Jiang Xiao, he was just a useless semi-awakened person. Although there seems to be some leadership and judgment faintly revealed, it does not mean anything in the face of absolute strength.
But Lao Hua did a lot of calculations, but he didn't count that Jiang Xiao, who had been in a semi-awake state for four years, suddenly ...... at such a time Fully awakened!
He didn't even calculate that after Jiang Xiao awakened, the ability he gained was terrifying!
Now, it's just a go!
Lao Hua didn't know what Jiang Xiao's speed was after he fully awakened. But if you can't keep up with yourself...... Then maybe there's still a chance, relying on his own sprint, to let him crash into the cutting surface in front of him.
At the other end of this cut-off surface, the ...... is connected A high earth orbit at a distance of 3,000 kilometers from the surface.
The physical enhancement of the Archon rank should not be too high. And no matter how high it is, it is impossible for him to survive in a vacuum!
What's more, even if Jiang Xiao's body was strengthened to the extent that he could resist the vacuum in a short period of time, it would never be possible to resist the high heat caused by friction in the process of falling through the atmosphere!
As long as you can hit Jiang Xiao...... It's victory!
Lao Hua gritted his teeth and stared at Jiang Xiao in front of him, and at the same time, he didn't forget to create two spatial sections next to Zhao Tianyu and Xinyun in the corner.
Lao Hua didn't want this hand to kill them. And as long as Jiang Xiao can be distracted...... Even half a second of attention is enough!
But just as Lao Hua was about to rush in front of Jiang Xiao, he heard Jiang Xiao's sneer.
"You forgot...... Can I also create spatial sections?"
Damn it!
Lao Hua immediately knew what was happening, trembled suddenly, turned over in the air suddenly, and was about to retreat, but it was too late.
There was a sharp pain in his waist, and Lao Hua's upper body and lower body had been split into two halves, and he fell to the ground.
The fractured space has been restored, but the objects that once existed in the spatial section can never be restored to its entirety.
And Lao Hua, who rolled to the ground, also saw Zhao Tianyu and Xinyun on the side out of the corner of his eye, suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then fell to the ground from mid-air in another corner.
Lao Hua closed his eyes in pain.
Since he can clearly see every spatial section he has opened, Jiang Xiao can naturally react immediately, and also create a spatial section controlled by him under the feet of the two of them!
And when the section under the foot is suddenly connected with another section, the result is naturally obvious - falling from one end of the section and falling out from the other end of the section.
Myself...... There is no longer any chance of winning.
Jiang Xiao...... What exactly are you...... Stuff!"
Although he has understood his end, Lao Hua is still not completely dead.
He can be defeated or die, but he doesn't want to know Jiang Xiao's identity until he dies.
His use of words is not "someone", but-
"Something"!!
"My self-healing ability has not been strengthened very much...... Injuries from the waist slash...... It can still support me for five minutes at most......" Lao Hua tried his best to raise his head, looked at his bloody waist, and sighed dejectedly: "Tell me...... What exactly are you...... Why do you say that you can get the highest authority as an archon in the seed, and you can have the rank and ability of an archon, but you still say it...... Myself...... Not an archon?!!Tell me!Jiang Xiao!"
"I ...... What is it?"
Jiang Xiao turned his head and saw Xinyun and Zhao Tianyu, who were also looking at him, waiting for the answer.
"You know, your men are buried...... How did you die?" Jiang Xiao suddenly changed the subject and asked rhetorically.
"Burial ......?" Lao Hua gasped hurriedly: "He...... I arranged for him to be protected by the abyss and go to intercept and kill you. The last report that the scar abyss gave me was that the evil burial had successfully obtained the blood of Xinyun and was in the process of cocooning...... But then...... Communication between the wound and me was abruptly cut off. He...... You killed him before he could complete his cocoon?"
"Hmm. No wonder, you don't know what's going on. Jiang Xiao sighed: "No, the cocoon is complete." Merely...... The person who came out of that cocoon was no longer a burial. ”
"It's not...... Who is that!?" Jiang Xiao's words made Lao Hua completely incomprehensible.
"That's a ...... Infected. The newly-born infected body, except for the cells that build the body, naturally has nothing to do with the original individual. ”
"What infections...... Wait!What are you talking about!!!!" Lao Hua trembled suddenly, and the blood in the wound on his waist even slowed down for a moment due to the contraction of his body: "Jiang Xiao! Don't talk nonsense ......to me!" Where do the infected come from here! All the infected ...... All viruses...... Haven't they all been left behind in the mother world?"
Even after hearing Jiang Xiao's ability, even after being easily defeated by Jiang Xiao, who could only survive for another five minutes at most, the expression on Lao Hua's face had never been as terrifying as it was now.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Jiang Xiao sighed softly.
He can fully understand Lao Hua's excitement now.
What he has devoted his life to is to regain the mother world of his dreams.
Although he is dead, at least there are still awakened beings on Earth, and there are seeds. Perhaps one day, an awakened person with the same idea as him will appear to complete his unfinished business.
But now...... When Lao Hua heard that there was also a virus on the earth and an infected body, his dream was finally completely shattered.
"That's why I'm telling you what I know about history...... More than you. Jiang Xiao sighed sadly: "Within the seed of escaping from the mother world...... Infected organisms have also been mixed in. Maybe...... That's why the seed is yawed. But this ...... It also saved the ancestors of those who survived. ”
"If it weren't for the yaw that fell to the earth, then those ancestors would have died long ago or been infected by the virus. The different environment of the earth and the mother world not only suppressed the genes in the ancestors, but also the genes of the virus. While the bloodline left by the ancestors has been sleeping in the long history, the virus has also fallen into a slumber for tens of thousands of years. But...... No matter how long you have been asleep, you will wake up when you should wake up. ”
Xinyun and Zhao Tianyu silently walked behind Jiang Xiao, and one of them gently held his hands and passed on his body temperature and support.
"Like the Awakened, the virus ...... It also needs to be awakened. But perhaps it's because the conditions are more harsh...... Like what...... Burial, he is an awakened person with a sleeping virus lurking in his body. And when he used his ability for the first time to absorb the blood of Xinyun and cocoon, the virus in his body also woke up at the same time, and smoothly eroded his body, turning him into a ...... Infected!"
"And what about you...... are you...... Is it infected?" Lao Hua stared at Jiang Xiao with a pair of eyes.
"Nope. I'm not an infected person either. Jiang Xiao shook his head: "The awakened person who is really infected, such as the one you haven't seen, has almost no reason and only acts on instinct. There were only two things on his mind - to kill all the rotten primordials in their mouths, that is, ...... The ancestors and their descendants, and the same kind were not the targets of killing. And luckily, I ...... Identified by him as of his own kind. ”
"But...... Actually, I'm not his kind. I'm a ...... who has both the rank of Archon and the virus gene Monster. But it seems that it is precisely because of this that over the long years, the genes in my body have not been eroded by the virus, but have coincidentally produced ...... Antibody. ”
Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly: "From the perspective of modern medicine, I am a person who was born with smallpox, but did not die because of it. I have the smallpox virus in my body, but I also have antibodies to the virus. I have the rank of Archon, which allows the Seed to recognize my authority, and an infected like Burial identifies me as one of my kind. I am...... A freak. ”
"You...... No...... Not a freak......"
Lao Hua struggled to prop up his body with his arms: "Are you ...... Antidote!"
The eyes he looked at suddenly radiated a longing light: "Promise me! Please promise me one thing......
"Needless to say. I know what you want me to promise. Jiang Xiao said lightly: "I just want to know now, have you finished asking me about the things you want to ask me?"
"Yes...... My doubts...... It's all been unraveled...... So now...... I ask you to promise me only one thing...... Can...... Is it okay?" Lao Hua's face was full of hope and pity, as if a traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert had seen an oasis.
Jiang Xiao turned his head, glanced at Xinyun, and then suddenly laughed: "Why do you think that I have the obligation to agree to your request?"
"You...... You don't have ...... I was just...... I beg you to ......"
But Lao Hua's intermittent words were only halfway through when he was ruthlessly interrupted by Jiang Xiao:
"Have you forgotten? You killed Isaiah, you killed Chaoyang. And unfortunately, they ...... It happened to be my friend. ”
Jiang Xiao's voice was cold and stiff, just like his eyes looking at the dying old Hua.
"Do you think that I told you these secrets before you died, because I was soft-hearted?"
"Do you think that if I am soft-hearted towards you, it is possible to agree to your request before you die?"
"Do you think that in my eyes, you are not greedy for your own power, not to satisfy your own selfish desires, so you are excusable, and I will promise you the trust before I die?"
"Nope. You're wrong, Lao Hua. ”
Jiang Xiao spat out a series of sentences in one breath, not giving the weak Lao Hua any chance to interject at all.
"I'm telling you these secrets that you don't know, just to make your death even more painful. I want you to die more painfully than old Isaiah, more painful than the mess! It is more painful than learning that Lao Hua, who has been friends with her for many years, is actually the dean of the academy, and has been sending his subordinates to hunt her down!"
"That's right. It is true that you do not do these things for the sake of your own power, not for the sake of your own desires!, but—you who can do anything for the sake of an ideal which you consider noble, is even more disgusting to me than a man who acts for the sake of selfish desires!"
"So, goodbye, Lao Hua. And your sincere plea before you died, I-"
Lao Hua fanned his lips hurriedly, but he couldn't even say a word, he could only look at Jiang Xiao's face, and his color became more and more intense.
"I don't want to hear a word!"
"Accept it! This will bring you the most painful death!"
As Jiang Xiao's voice fell, a blood line suddenly appeared on Lao Hua's neck.
The space section arranged between his neck simply cut off Lao Hua's neck.
And until he was dying, he did not wait for the answer he expected.
He didn't even have the opportunity to say that trust himself.
Jiang Xiao turned around and faced Xinyun behind him, although there was no expression on his little face, he had already burst into tears.
Jiang Xiao gently took Xinyun in his arms, touched her head, and whispered to her in his most gentle voice:
"Okay, stop crying, it's all over. ”
