Eternal Night

Chapter 27 Toward Death
After becoming a half-paper man, Xu Zhenshan became much stronger than he was when he was alive.

Chinese martial arts use strength, which is actually the power of the human body itself, but Chinese martial arts transforms it into explosive power.

However, this half-paper man uses a cold thing, which, when hit on the human body, can actually cause a similar effect to quick freezing.

To be honest, this is already a real supernatural power, similar to internal force, and it is not ordinary internal force, but the powerful internal force of the ice qi. Therefore, in a fight, Lin Heier who was caught off guard was knocked down by one blow.

Otherwise, if Xu Zhenshan was alive, Lin Heier could easily beat him up.

At this time, Wu Xianxiao rushed over directly, and used the Lotus Sitting Power, which he had not yet fully mastered, to fight. As soon as the blow made contact, Wu Xianxiao's heart sank immediately. An indescribable cold breath was transmitted from the contact of his palms, freezing the meridians and blood vessels in his palms almost in an instant.

But at this time, Wu Xianxiao was using the Sitting Lotus Power, or the semi-finished Sitting Lotus Power. Although it had not yet become a simulated Dan Power, it had condensed half of the body's qi and blood. Its condensation effect had far exceeded the Dark Power stage. It burst out at this time, dispersing the cold air directly, and continued to blast upwards along the palm of the half paper man.

There was a loud bang between the palms of the two men, and then the half-paper man's palm was actually blown up directly. Moreover, this half-dark energy and half-simulated Dan energy force spread upwards, blowing up half of the half-paper man's arm, and it stopped until the elbow part. At the same time, the half-paper man was blasted back nearly ten meters and directly to the edge of the fire line.

At the same time, Wu Xianxiao himself was not feeling well either. The energy and blood in his body instantly condensed and exploded, and he felt slight pain all over his body.

However, the benefits of a strong body and blood were demonstrated. Although Wu Xianxiao felt slight pain all over his body, it did not hurt him fundamentally. Within a few breaths, his body gradually became full of blood and qi, and the slight pain disappeared.

In terms of physique alone, Wu Xianxiao is even stronger than Yamade, the genetically modified veteran of World War III. He is almost at the pinnacle of normal human physique. Although he is only about 1.8 meters tall, his strength, endurance, blood, and strength are stronger than the top athletes of the 21st century. If there is a physical confrontation on the basketball court, he can even knock O'Neal away in his prime.

With one blow, the half-paper man, whose arm was blown off, actually looked shocked.

That’s right, Xu Zhenshan, the half-paper man who should have been ignorant, actually showed a look of shock on his head. However, the look was only fleeting, and then it returned to the eerie and terrifying expression of a dead person.

"Who... is coming?" Xu Zhenshan asked in a very "difficult" tone.

Wu Xianxiao was surprised, but he still stood up from his sitting position. He looked around and felt relieved when he saw Lin Heier slowly standing up. Then he clasped his fists towards Xu Zhenshan and said, "Tiger Demonic Skill... Wu Xianxiao!"

This can be regarded as adapting to local customs. Wu Xianxiao did not understand many of the etiquette of this era, but after talking with Xu Rongyu and Lin Heier over the past few days, he also roughly understood some of the rules of communication in the martial arts industry.

For example, when two martial artists are strangers to each other and they fight for the first time, they will either call each other by their own sect, such as Wudang so-and-so, Shaolin so-and-so, or by the name of the region where they are from, such as Foshan so-and-so, Guangdong so-and-so. If you have none of these, either because you are not well-known in your region, or your sect is gone or is not well-known, then you will call by the name of your martial arts, such as Tai Chi so-and-so, Xingyi so-and-so, etc.

After hearing this, the half-paper man also saluted with one hand in a very "difficult" manner, and then continued "difficultly" to say: "The stone-smashing hand...Xu...Zhen...Shan!"

Wu Xianxiao's thoughts raced, and he had an incredible guess in his mind.

Could it be that Xu Zhenshan’s self-consciousness has not been completely destroyed?
Now it wants to use its last bit of consciousness to fight as a warrior?
Just as Wu Xianxiao was guessing and wondering, he saw the half-paper man suddenly stretch out his hand and pull hard at the paper man who was about to float past him, pulling the paper man onto his palm. The paper man struggled and screamed frantically, the sound as sharp as a thorn, but the half-paper man was not affected at all, and actually lifted the paper man and put it into his mouth.

It looked like it was made of paper, but after it fell into its mouth, flesh and bones were bitten out. Dark red blood gushed out of its mouth along with rotten flesh and bones. Xu Zhenshan's head was almost completely deformed, and its mouth was torn enough to swallow a basketball in one bite. The whole paper man was swallowed whole by it, and a thin tongue even rolled over the flesh and blood residue on the lower jaw.

Within a few seconds, the half-paper man devoured a paper man, and then its broken arm began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Strands of paper threads extended from the broken arm, and then outlined the arm in an intertwined manner. Then the arm turned from paper into flesh and blood, and the half-paper man was restored to complete health.

"Come!" The half-paper man stretched forward the lid with one hand as if it were light, and lifted it up with the other hand as if it were light and heavy. After assuming this posture, he strode towards Wu Xianxiao.

Since Wu Xianxiao stood up at this time, he naturally had no intention of retreating. Perhaps he had not yet completely mastered the lotus-sitting power, and perhaps Yamade had not yet completely completed the throwing device, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. It was impossible for a person to be suffocated to death by urine, so he also went forward to the half-paper man.

The half-paper man used a set of martial arts with each of his two arms. With one hand, he could lift heavy objects as if they were light, like a long whip, and every palm strike made a snapping sound. With the other hand, he could lift light objects as if they were heavy, as if he was holding a thousand pounds of strength, and a single palm strike had the power to split mountains and break walls.

On the first day of the fight, Wu Xianxiao's tiger claws were suppressed by the palm like a braid as soon as they were exposed, and he could not move forward at all. At the same time, another palm strike came from the side of his body towards his chest. Before the palm arrived, there was a strong wind and Wu Xianxiao felt a dull pain in his chest. At the moment when the palm was about to hit him, he saw his body flash and he turned upside down.

But Wu Xianxian supported himself on the ground with his hands, his feet facing upwards, and with a flying kick, he collided head-on with the man who was breaking the monument.

With a dull thud, the seemingly life-or-death blow to the stele was actually kicked away by the kick. Then Wu Xianxiao rushed forward with both palms, almost reaching the half-paper man. He switched his hands to claws, jumped and pounced, and dug out a large piece of flesh from one of the man's arms, even revealing the bones. "Good... move!"

The half-paper man cheered with difficulty, then actually pulled over another paper man and chewed and ate it on the spot, and his arm became complete again.

The half-paper man had a bloody mouth and licked the blood with his slender tongue. Then he did not attack immediately. Instead, he used Xu Zhenshan's head to look at Wu Xianxiao. Then his moves changed again. He put his palms together in a circle, stepped on something inexplicably, and stepped towards Wu Xianxiao step by step.

"Furnace Grinding Wheel Palm!" Xu Rongyu lay weakly on the ground. At this time, Xu Shilan was guarding him with two torches, intimidating the paper people flying in.

When Xu Rongyu saw this move, he immediately shouted, "People's hearts are like iron, official laws are like a furnace, and the world is a millstone... My father has never mastered this move. It is said that this move can directly penetrate the realm of the master of transformation. He often lamented that he learned this move too late. How could this monster use it!?"

Wu Xianxiao still said nothing.

In terms of moves, the Tiger Demon Kung Fu may not be very wonderful, but he has already developed a little bit of awaken consciousness. When it comes to the real combat, although his mind is full of distracting thoughts, evil thoughts, when it comes to the moment of life and death, his awaken consciousness will react like an instinct, just like when he faced the stele slammer just now, he actually turned his body 180 degrees and kicked the stele slammer with his foot.

This move is called "Flipping Body Tail" in the Tiger Demon Kung Fu, but the normal "Flipping Body Tail" is to lean the body backwards, in a straight position, and then kick out with one foot, rather than kicking out with both feet upside down.

You should know that the strength of human legs is twice that of arms. This trick allowed him to easily break the Monument-Smashing Palm.

At this time, the half-paper man came forward again, with his palms clasped together as if holding a round millstone. Wu Xianxiao still rushed forward, roaring with his tiger claws, and tried to tear at the half-paper man's neck. However, he had just stretched out half of his arms when he immediately felt a rolling force coming from between the half-paper man's arms.

One of the half-paper man's palms spiraled clockwise, while the other palm spiraled counterclockwise. Between the rotation of the two palms, a cold force burst out, pulling Wu Xianxiao's tiger claw to rotate as well.

At that moment, Wu Xianxiao felt as if his tiger claws were extended into extremely viscous mercury liquid, and the pulling force was still rapidly expanding, covering his forearms, elbows, chest, and upper body. In less than a second, he even felt himself solidified and could not even move a finger.

At this moment, the half-paper man put his palms together, and a spiral force exploded violently. His palms easily crushed Wu Xianxiao's tiger claws. Without stopping, the force penetrated his body, and his palms hit Wu Xianxiao's chest deeply in a flash.

With a loud bang, Wu Xianxiao was knocked more than ten meters away and hit the outer wall of a building, breaking the wall and rolling into the building.

"Hua Jin!?" Lin Heier had already stood up at this time. She didn't even bother to wipe the blood and ice from the corner of her mouth. She just screamed.

“Ha, ha, ha…”

The half-paper figure smiled up at the sky intermittently. It still used that dead face to speak in a very happy tone: "I have... attained the Tao, with the grace of my mother. What is the meaning of transformation...? My son, now I will let you attain the Tao together with me."

It seemed that whenever this half-paper figure spoke words belonging to the warrior Xu Zhenshan, his voice would become stuck and hesitant, but when he talked about words like attainment of the Tao and old mother, he spoke fluently.

Everyone could see that this seemed to be a half-paper man, or rather, the remaining will of the original Xu Zhenshan still existed, but it was estimated that there was not much left.

Xu Rongyu cried out in pain and grief, and at the same time shouted, "Father, if you are still conscious, resist the influence of this monster!!"

The half-paper man said nothing and walked towards Xu Rongyu, while the flying paper men flew towards Lin Heier, Xu Shilan, and Yamade who was doing the final adjustments.

Everyone's life or death depends on this moment!

Suddenly at this moment, half of the paper man stopped, and all the paper men stopped flying, and the mist was forced back by an invisible force.

Inside the half-collapsed building wall, a pair of blood-red pupils suddenly opened!
