Chapter 2236 - 2229: Still Human?
The fiery sword qi burst into existence, flames shooting out in all directions, swiftly rushing to slay Gui Jingjing.
Gui Jingjing seemed to understand the power of the sword qi, using her hands to protect her head.
The sharp sword qi did not shred Gui Jingjing’s body, but instead cut countless gashes into her.
When the sword light disappeared, apart from her face being intact, Gui Jingjing’s arms were a bloody mess, looking shockingly gruesome.
This far exceeded Wang Dadong’s expectations.
The Fiery Sword Qi was immensely powerful, capable of cutting through even steel and bone, yet it couldn’t harm Gui Jingjing’s bones, only grazed her skin.
From this alone, it was clear that Gui Jingjing’s skin was harder than steel.
In the brief moment Wang Dadong was dazed, all of Gui Jingjing’s wounds had healed, looking unhurt.
"It’s you again, bastard! I’m going to tear you apart!" Gui Jingjing’s eyes showed fierce intent, a crimson tongue slipping from her mouth.
"Damn, what kind of monster is this!" Wang Dadong dared not be careless, quickly deploying the fourth form of the Legendary Battle Technique, the "Zhe" word formula!
The Golden Giant appeared, its fist directly smashing towards Gui Jingjing’s body.
The huge fist was almost the same size as Gui Jingjing’s body.
Summoned by the "Zhe" word war tactic, the Golden Giant was tremendously powerful, sending Gui Jingjing’s body flying from the room like a cannonball.
Shattering the room’s window.
When Wang Dadong reached the window, he found no trace of Gui Jingjing.
However, the punch he just threw, even if Gui Jingjing were a Saint, would surely have caused severe injuries. Her internal organs were likely shattered.
Hard to survive.
In an office of a hospital.
"How did you get so injured? Is there anyone on this planet who can hurt you?" A middle-aged man in a lab coat frowned at the woman covered in blood.
"Uncle, didn’t you say my body is harder than steel?" The woman was on the verge of collapse.
"Let me examine your wounds."
After examining, the middle-aged man was shocked, "Such powerful strength!"
According to the data, Gui Jingjing’s body strength at this moment was comparable to fine steel, yet her internal organs were almost completely shattered by the impact.
Even her bones had numerous cracks.
"However, Jingjing, you need not worry. You haven’t reached your strongest form yet. Once you do, you won’t get hurt again." The man narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
...
Stowing away the Fighting Sword, Wang Dadong sat on the half-ruined sofa.
Gui Jingjing was too powerful; the battle had consumed much of his Inner Strength.
This kind of combat power was astonishingly terrifying, far beyond a Dragon Group Warrior, no, even among the Divine Shield, she would be considered top tier.
Clearly, Gui Jingjing couldn’t have obtained such power through cultivation; it was a technological power.
If it could be mass-produced, then Saints would become as common as cattle in the future.
Just imagine, a single organization with dozens or hundreds of Saints, how horrifying that would be.
A hundred Saints, probably capable of even destroying a Void Level entity.
While Wang Dadong was lost in thought, Li Xiaoxue finally caught her breath.
"Are you even human?" Li Xiaoxue looked at Wang Dadong in terror.
Wang Dadong’s earlier performance was too frightening, with a punch capable of smashing a hole in the wall.
In fact, what Li Xiaoxue had seen was already Wang Dadong suppressing his strength; otherwise, it was possible he could collapse the entire building.
"Of course, I’m human. But your friend is probably not anymore. What exactly happened to her?" Wang Dadong asked while regulating his breathing.
"I don’t know what happened to Jingjing. I accidentally poured hot water on her hand, but she didn’t feel a thing. I got scared, so I called you while going to the bathroom..."
Wang Dadong nodded, "Thankfully, you called me, otherwise you might have ended up like her or dead."
Looking at the devastated living room, Li Xiaoxue was still shaken; indeed, the current Gui Jingjing was terrifying, like a mad dog, savage and bloodthirsty.
After about half an hour of regulating his breathing, Wang Dadong finally recovered most of his strength, and stood up.
"Gui Jingjing probably has her eyes on you now and will come looking for you again. Be careful recently. I’ll go now, call me if anything happens." Wang Dadong said, heading for the door.
Seeing Wang Dadong leave, Li Xiaoxue felt extremely conflicted, wanting him to stay, but remembering they had no relationship; he had already saved her once. How could she expect him to stay and protect her?
But if Wang Dadong really left, and Gui Jingjing came back, what then? Be killed by Gui Jingjing, or become a monster like her?
Although Gui Jingjing still looked normal, Li Xiaoxue knew she was no longer the Gui Jingjing she knew — she had become insane, devoid of reason.
While Li Xiaoxue hesitated, Wang Dadong was almost at the door.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for saving me today. May I treat you to dinner?" Li Xiaoxue finally spoke up.
She had no choice; she was too scared. Although it seemed inappropriate to have a man stay in her home, at this moment her only protector was Wang Dadong.
The scene she had witnessed earlier was beyond her comprehension, and calling the police would be useless.
Wang Dadong turned around, scratching his head, "How could I impose... where shall we eat?"
Actually, Wang Dadong wanted to stay too, seeing as he had severely injured Gui Jingjing. If she were any ordinary Saint, she would likely be dead by now.
But Gui Jingjing was a technological product, not to be considered with normal human logic.
If Gui Jingjing returned, Li Xiaoxue would be in danger.
"There’s a barbecue stall outside our community that’s quite good, if you don’t mind..." Li Xiaoxue said softly.
This was her first time inviting a man on a date.
She was previously busy training, later got injured, and due to her physical disability, rarely interacted with any men.
"I don’t mind at all, let’s go quickly." Wang Dadong said with a smile.
Minutes later, the two arrived at the barbecue stand.
The vendor was an older man, and upon seeing Li Xiaoxue being held by Wang Dadong, he chuckled, "Xiao Li, dating someone?"
Li Xiaoxue’s face flushed, shyly saying, "Uncle Yang, don’t say such things..."
"Ha ha, the little girl is shy, it’s the first time I see you shy."
After Li Xiaoxue contracted facial paralysis, she retired from the swimming team, became a swimming coach, and moved into this community. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be shy before, but she couldn’t.
Everyone thought Li Xiaoxue was always cold and aloof, like an iceberg, hard to approach, so she was not well liked.
