Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 199: Defeat and Commemoration
Gloria's pupils suddenly dilated.

As the four fire seeds were extinguished, the overflowing fire stream rushed into Song Shi frantically.

He raised his hand, and cracks inch by inch snaked along the surface of his body, like fragmented and barely glued porcelain. His originally short hair quickly began to grow longer and fell to his shoulders, with the ends showing a gradient of red gold.

At the same time, as if attracted and immersed in it, the sea of ​​fire that was originally circling around Song Shi began to change color. At a speed visible to the naked eye, everything turned into red gold.

In other words, become more "pure"!
Different from the previous battle at the research institute, the "self-immolation" when facing Gaboyi.

At this moment, with the psychic energy reaching the upper level of the second ring and the investment of a total of eight psychic energy skills, the "self-immolation" effect that Song Shi is now demonstrating is more than just much stronger?
Song Shi held the heavy gun and suddenly turned it around, pointing forward.

The "Flame of Forging" surged forth wantonly, completely engulfing Chongshi, making the latter no longer look like a straight blade, but a streak of fire floating in the wind.

Very strong.

——Very strong.

——Very strong!
As Groden, who was granted the "whole person" with pure talent, the pinnacle of the second ring is [transcendence].

Feeling the terrifying flames in front of her, she had clearly judged that the "within three strikes" mentioned by the other party was by no means a bluff, but an unquestionable declaration from the heart - and the other party did have the power to fulfill this declaration!
Even those fourth-ring ones of Fubo Energy, when they suppressed their strength to those of the second ring and practiced against themselves, had never felt this way.

This gap seems to be very close, yet it is like a chasm.

Gloria slowly closed her eyes.

My skin felt a strong stinging sensation, and something in my heart seemed to be bursting out, and my intuition kept trembling.
This is the real oppression when facing life and death?

Then, the woman opened her eyes, and for the first time, a look called joy blossomed from the depths of her pupils!
——Qiang!

The pure golden stream tore through the flames and slashed towards Song Shi.

The extremely condensed plasma and psychic energy aggregated and transformed into a light-chasing sharp blade, which was further advanced with the two-in-one connection. At this moment, in Gloria's palm, two dazzling golden lights twisted at high speed, dragging out criss-crossing stream marks - each slash was powerful enough to easily cut a shuttle in half.

But at this moment, all the attacks were completely ineffective!

Song Shi was also moving at high speed. Every time a beam of golden light slashed down, it would be met by an equally blazing stream of fire. And in the next moment, when the red and golden light traces completely dissipated, a new bombardment completely tore the former apart.

He has clearly entered the [Flowing Energy] state, with significant improvements in all aspects.

But Gloria was shocked to find that she was the one being suppressed at the moment - although it was also a temporary state, the opponent's "self-immolation" was stronger than hers!

"——First strike."

After blocking the slashing attack once again, Song Shi's eyes suddenly lit up. Without hesitation, he exerted his strength, took advantage of the momentum, and slashed at Gloria with a knife.

Yes, "smash".

Because the moment he swung down the heavy killing sword, all the nearby flames rushed over, and the extremely condensed pulpy state made them turn into a real wave, ready to swallow up everything in front of them!
——Crack!
Gloria's pupils lit up, and a shield of light formed in front of her, then it couldn't bear the weight and was crushed into pieces in an instant. But immediately afterwards, another new shield of light was propped up, and then continued to shatter.

Rise again, and break again!
Three light shields were shattered in succession, but she finally managed to raise her two swords in time to resist the subsequent aftermath.

"Not bad!" Song Shi laughed and praised, then stepped forward without hesitation: "——Second strike!"

In terms of the level of spiritual power, the other party has undoubtedly surpassed himself.

Gloria could sense that the opponent did not use any fancy techniques, but simply summoned the flames and condensed them to slash out.

However, the opponent exerted this unimaginable abundant power to the fullest extent; it was simple enough, so pure enough, and therefore "irresistible"!
But Gloria still blocked it!

She growled, raised her sword with all her strength, and golden light instantly spread in all directions.

Attack against attack!

Like a reef standing under the raging waves, Gloria's radiance was squeezed by the red-gold waves, and she was shaky - but she was still swinging her sword! She even increased her speed!

The oncoming sea of ​​fire was split and chopped apart, and the overflowing flames licked Gloria frantically. Ripples continued to appear on her tall body with flowing light patterns. The energy plating tried to resist the flames, but under the continuous attack, it was ultimately unable to completely block it.

Her red hair began to burn, and pieces of her skin peeled off and turned to ashes. On the back of her shoulders, where the disease was most serious, one could even vaguely see white bones like glass.

Only Gloria's eyes became brighter!
"That's it."

Her flesh, bones, and even every cell were jumping for joy, and her mind seemed to be gradually withdrawing from her body. It was the ripples of boiling will. Her "heart" and "body" were separated and no longer harmonious and unified, but this was not a bad thing.

That's because both of them are making progress, so the deviation brought about is above the peak of the second ring, which is a further step of "progress".

When the two settle down again and merge into one again, that is the scenery of the third ring.

And she has already glimpsed this scenery!
Life and death, powerful enemies, oppression.

So, [transcend].

This was the path that Emmanuel had chosen for Gloria, and at this moment, the latter was moving straight and accurately along this path.

Seeing the woman's expression, Song Shi became even more delighted and he laughed approvingly.

Then, the third one——

"--No."

At this moment, Gloria raised her head and refused loudly.

The psychic gripped his weapon tightly, and brilliant golden light bloomed on his body.

She spoke word by word: "-The end of the third strike will start with me." Under Song Shi's gaze, Gloria turned into a beam of light - no, four beams of light!
The Light-Chasing Blade split into four blades again, and the woman's silhouette completely disappeared in the golden light.

It is not an ability like "energyization", but simply a visual illusion caused by high-speed movement.

Even the sound disappeared in the light, not daring to cause any ripples.

——And then, gather together!

Four beams of light appeared at the same time, and behind each beam of light, there was an afterimage of Gloria. It was as if she was holding four light-chasing blades at the same time. In just a moment, a network composed of pure light energy appeared in all directions.

They crisscrossed in an instant, and at the last moment, they converged towards the goal.

Song Shi laughed wildly and controlled the stream of fire to blast out!
The world suddenly went dark, and all the original colors faded away, leaving only two completely different colors colliding - and then, in an indisputable manner, the flames surged, boiled, and roared, completely drowning out the golden light!

pure white.

Under the collision of energy of too high a level, even with the psychic's extraordinary vision, a brief period of pure white appeared.

Gradually, the dazzling white faded away and vision returned.

call--

The scorching hot wind swept past silently.

Gloria coughed softly and slowly looked at Song Shi. There were several scratches of varying depths on the other person's body. The most horrifying one had left a wound on the young man's right forearm so deep that the bone was visible.

But that's all.

Look down.

Most of the heavy sword had sunk into the woman's chest. The carefully crafted energy center, extraordinary organs, and heart that had already become heterogeneous would be no more solid than foam in front of this weapon.

click.

Time seemed to have just begun to flow at this moment. Amidst the tiny sounds, cracks appeared on the surface of not one but four Light-Chasing Blades in Gloria's hand, but cracks on the surface of the blades at the same time. Then they quickly spread and expanded. The four psychic weapons completely collapsed and turned into scattered points of light.

That was the overwhelming pressure after the collision.

After realizing the weakness of pure psychic energy, she chose to increase her speed to an unprecedented limit in the last attack just now. With this incredible speed, she controlled four Light-Chasing Blades at the same time, thus achieving a killing power four times that of her own in an instant.

This is an extremely difficult technique, requiring an extremely delicate balance between the body, mind, and spiritual energy to produce a terrifying killing force that is almost overlapping and far beyond the past. Even if I have the gift of "whole person", I have never really achieved this attack in the past.

Until just now.

Under unprecedented pressure, all the shackles that had been difficult to break through and even unnoticed in the past were broken by herself, and the mind and body achieved an unprecedented unity. This was undoubtedly the absolute peak in the life of the psychic named "Gloria Groden" for 24 years.

——She “surpassed” her past self!
".How did you do that?" the woman asked after a moment of silence.

"After realizing the gap in 'strength' between you and your opponent, you use 'skills' to make up for the gap and even defeat the opponent. This is undoubtedly correct. There is nothing wrong with your thinking."

Song Shi looked quite happy: "It's a pity that there was a problem with your execution."

"You don't have a psychic skill like [Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation], so the four attacks just now were not really made by four of you at the same time. It was just that you relied on your super high speed and control over yourself to switch between the four Light Chasing Blades in a very short time, and confined the four attacks in an instant."

“But no matter how ‘instantaneous’ it is, it is not ‘simultaneous’ after all.”

Song Shi patiently explained: "There is a time gap between them."

"To be honest, your speed and reaction ability are better than mine. This is my weakness compared to you, so I can only make up for it with my 'skills'."

"I saw through all your disguised sword moves, predicted the true trajectory, found the weak points of the beam flow, and then took action a moment earlier to block their most dangerous parts one by one."

"And since you have used this level of strength, you will inevitably fall into a short-term slump after this move. As long as I seize this moment to counterattack, I can easily penetrate your defense and lay the foundation for victory."

"That's why I said your idea is fine, but the execution is a little poor."

Song Shi shook his head slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and he sighed: "Well, I know a woman, that guy is beyond like you."

"Although she is not a perfect person, but..."

The young man raised his head with a look of nostalgia.

"If it was her who came just now, it would definitely be more than four times... maybe seven or eight times? The difficulty of predicting and resisting would be greatly increased, and it would be a real threat to my life."

"Well, it's about time."

Sighing once again, suppressing the nostalgia, Song Shi looked at Gloria again.

With that all-out, unprecedented final blow, the latter achieved a new breakthrough, but his body could not bear the burden, and coupled with the severe injuries suffered by Song Shi, he could only half-kneel on the ground.

The tall body that had always been standing tall was finally no longer tall.

It was not until this moment that the two people's eyes were truly level in the physical sense.

Song Shi looked at the other person, and his eyes no longer looked down on him.

He asked calmly and gently, "Any last words?"
