Chapter 103 Fungal Remains Frenzy 64 "Don't pull out your own ribs anymore..."
Things happened too fast. By the time Nanmen Jue realized what had happened, it was already too late.
Cheng Xiuye had one arm chopped off by Ying Yao, and used all three remaining arms to grab Nanmen Jue. He learned from his previous experience of being blocked by Nanmen Jue with props, and used all his strength at once. Guan Junren's body made a teeth-grinding crunching sound in his palm. When Nanmen Jue raised his head, he only met Cheng Xiuye's wide-open eyes.
Time seemed to stand still. Guan Junren and Nanmen Jue looked at each other, but what they saw directly in front of them was Nanmen Jue's back. His body had been twisted twice, but there was no pain in his eyes, only a sense of bewilderment and a hint of relief.
"..."
He opened his mouth, but Nanmen Jue heard no sound. His throat had been completely severed, and only thick blood gushed out.
His blood sprayed all over Nanmen Jue's head and face, covering Nanmen Jue's stunned expression.
Because surgery was required, even in such a harsh battlefield environment, Guan Junren still tried his best to keep Nanmenjue clean. He wiped Nanmenjue's head and face clean and bandaged him, just like a patient who had just undergone surgery in the operating room, receiving the best care that he, as the attending physician, could do.
And that purity was completely destroyed at that moment.
The moment of eye contact felt incredibly long to Nanmen Jue, but in reality it was only a fleeting instant.
Cheng Xiuye realized she had arrested the wrong person and was briefly stunned. In that brief moment, Nanmen Jue saw the confusion and relief in Guan Junren's eyes.
"How dare this kid show up and get in the way?"
Cheng Xiuye's voice was no longer as confident as before, but filled with repression and madness. He muttered this and was about to throw away the thing in his hand when a cold light flashed. The move was too fast, and even Cheng Xiuye did not have time to react. Ying Yao, who had just arrived, was also stunned on the spot.
Blood splattered again, this time from Cheng Xiuye.
His arm, which was closest to Nanmen Jue, was completely severed, the cut clean and neat, done in one go.
Given Nanmen Jue's speed and her current state, she should have been unable to inflict such a serious injury on Cheng Xiuye, but she did it anyway. Cheng Xiuye was stunned for several seconds before letting out a scream and throwing the thing in her hand away.
Nanmen Jue didn't even look at him. He turned around and caught Guan Junren's body. It was soft to the touch. Those three hands were like a cruel meat grinder, crushing all the bones in his body. When Nanmen Jue caught him, his face was still facing his back, and his body was twisted back.
At this moment, Nanmen Jue remained expressionless. Her face was deathly pale as she knelt on the ground, carefully holding Guan Junren's limp body. The physical condition of a reincarnator was truly remarkable; even now, Guan Junren was still alive. He stared at Nanmen Jue with his large, unfocused eyes, his face ashen like someone in an old photograph.
Ying Yao stopped Cheng Xiuye again. Nanmen Jue was no longer interested in them. She took out a talisman, one of the props that Ying Yao had left behind. Nanmen Jue was too badly injured, and Guan Junren had used all the props on her without hesitation. Only this last one was stopped by her. Unexpectedly, it was used on Guan Junren himself.
Nanmen Jue used the prop, and the side effects transferred to her. She felt a surge of blood and qi, but she endured it and just stared intently at Guan Junren, watching his eyes move slightly, revealing a clear look of pain.
She suddenly regretted it.
This prop wasn't enough to save Guan Junren's life, but it temporarily pulled him back from the brink of death, making him consciously experience the excruciating pain of broken bones.
Nanmen Jue's mind went blank for a moment, and she subconsciously used the prop. But now she really regretted it. Scenes of someone dying in her arms flashed through her mind again. She seemed to see Zhao Huai Ren and Wu Qing's faces again. For a moment, she even felt that the face twisted in pain looked a bit like Nanmen Yu.
Her arms trembled. "I'm sorry..."
Since entering the world of reincarnation, she had never shown such weakness. Guan Junren slowly turned his eyes to look at her face, as if he recognized her.
"South Gate." His voice had been partially repaired, and the sound was completely unrecognizable as his own.
Nanmen Jue immediately lowered his body and put his ear to his lips, "Tell me."
Guan Junren's lips opened and closed, spitting out streams of blood. His lips touched Nanmen Jue's earlobe, and Nanmen Jue had never felt such a cold body temperature.
She pieced together what she could barely make out a sentence.
"...Before I die, I can still save your life...I'm a good doctor, not...a cowardly coward, right?"
Nanmen Jue's eyes suddenly turned red.
“You are a very, very good doctor. You saved my life,” she said gently.
Guan Junren seemed to laugh, and a spurt of blood sprayed directly into Nanmen Jue's ear. Nanmen Jue seemed unaware and hugged him even tighter.
Having experienced nearly two worlds, she knew a little about the conventions among reincarnators. When they were about to die, if there were trustworthy people around, most reincarnators would leave some instructions, such as the distribution of property or taking care of their families.
But Guan Junren didn't say any of that. He seemed to be trying hard to pronounce the words, and Nanmen Jue listened with difficulty, and then he heard him speak.
"...I want to see you."
Nanmen Jue was startled and immediately raised his head, allowing his face to fully enter Guan Junren's field of vision. Guan Junren's pupils were already shrouded in a deathly shadow. He stared intently at Nanmen Jue's face, which was probably smiling.
"What... happened?" he said with a laugh. "I'm really not... gay, why, why?"
Nanmen Jue stood there, stunned. Her lips moved, and the truth was on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say it.
Ying Yao and Cheng Xiuye were not far away, and at this distance, they were very likely to hear it. Nanmen Jue was not someone to gamble on.
“…I’m sorry,” she whispered.
Guan Junren tried to shake his head, but he had completely lost control of his body. With all his might, he gave Nanmen Jue a ferocious smile and hissed, "Kill me..."
Nanmenjue's heart clenched into a fist.
Guan Junren was in excruciating pain, but he still didn't show any negative side to Nanmen Jue. When Nanmen Jue didn't respond, he tried his best to utter, "Kill me...please."
Nanmen Jue felt as if she had been punched hard. Starting from the bridge of her nose, her entire face began to feel numb and sore. She wasn't sure if she had shed tears. In the flashing light before her eyes, she reached out and grabbed Guan Junren's neck.
As Guan Junren looked on with an expression of relief, she spoke in a low but resolute voice.
“I will make Cheng Xiuye die a more painful and miserable death than you, I swear to you.”
After she finished speaking, the veins on the back of her hand bulged, and Guan Junren's neck went limp and he breathed his last in Nanmen Jue's arms.
Nanmen Jue lowered her head, her neck intertwined with Guan Junren's. This action was not ambiguous for her; it was like a lone wolf mourning the death of another wolf. A deep and cold killing intent emanated from her, even startling the two people not far away.
Cheng Xiuye was no longer the same as before. The two men had broken his arms in succession, and with the knife that Nanmen Jue had plunged into his heart at the beginning, his movements were getting slower and slower, and his face was turning purple. His body was too big, and his oxygen supply system could not keep up.
"Looks like it hasn't had time to grow a second heart yet, has it?"
The gentle question that entered the fray caused Cheng Xiuye's expression to change drastically.
He stumbled back a few steps until he reached the shore. The seawater churned, and a huge, ferocious head emerged from it, its body crackling with visible electricity, illuminating the night sky like lightning. It snapped its jaws empty and then quickly fell back into the sea.
The sea dragon snake, before being parasitized by the mycelium, should have been a marine creature like an electric eel, but now it is completely unrecognizable. It is huge in size and power, and is a Class A parasite. Its only weakness is that it cannot go ashore.
Jin Jian had previously gone to lure this thing away, but now it's back, and Jin Jian is still nowhere to be found.
Cheng Xiuye retreated to the shore, where the sea dragon and snake were right beneath her feet. In front of her were Ying Yao and Nanmen Jue, who were closing in step by step. Ying Yao was also injured, leaving a bloody footprint with each step. Nanmen Jue was expressionless, covered in blood, like a reincarnated Asura.
Cheng Xiuye looked at them, her purplish face suddenly losing its panic, revealing a maniacal smile.
"You think you've won? Even if I die, I won't die at the hands of the enemy!"
As he spoke, he opened his arms, laughed wildly, and fell backward, plunging headfirst into the seawater.
The two immediately stepped forward. The terrain of Ningde Town rose again, looking down like a cliff. In the dark sea, there was only a flash of lightning, and Cheng Xiuye could no longer be seen.
Ying Yao looked at Nanmen Jue, who was gazing into the water. After a moment, she turned around without hesitation and strode towards the hospital.
Ying Yao quickly followed. He was wrapped up tightly, so it was impossible to tell where he was injured, but his voice was still relatively steady.
"He might not be dead yet."
"Am I supposed to jump down and chase after him right now? I'm not that crazy."
"You're blaming me."
"I wouldn't dare."
"It was my fault that I didn't keep my promise to you, but if I hadn't come, you would be dead."
Nanmen Jue suddenly stopped. She didn't look back at Ying Yao and quickly continued on her way, which was already her fastest speed at this moment.
“Logically, I owe you a favor, and I have no right to blame you.” She said softly, almost word by word, each word taking a lot of effort. “But sometimes I’m not a reasonable person. If something really happens to Zhang Zhi, I will blame you. So don’t follow me anymore. I will find a way to repay the favor I owe you.”
Ying Yao did not continue to argue about the issue, nor did he stop walking. He followed for a while longer and then extended his hand.
His gloves were gone, and his bare hands were pale as if they had never seen the light of day, yet they were exceptionally delicate and slender, a stark contrast to his cold exterior.
Between his bloodied fingers, he quietly gripped a familiar, slender bone knife.
Nanmen Jue's pupils contracted sharply as he looked incredulously at Ying Yao's face, which was still covered by a mask, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
“I think you’ll find this more convenient.” Ying Yao paused, then added, “Don’t remove any more of your ribs. A repaired body is never as good as the original.”
