Chapter 165: The Intertwining of Past and Present (6)
But before Hao Qing could pursue further, painful tremors swept through his body, even beyond his self-control, and his body instinctively made him kneel to the ground, unable to stand up for a while.
He lowered his head and glanced at himself. The bloody wound on his shoulder, the bloody fist, and the scratches on his back... were only minor injuries compared to usual, but due to the effect of the philosophical weapon, they expanded into serious injuries that could affect his actions.
Really, I put all this behind my mind when my body warmed up. What a fool I am.
After laughing at himself, Hao Qing waved his hand to seal the wounds on his body, stood up and prepared to pursue.
Whoosh——
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the alarm bell of danger rang loudly in his heart. He took a step back, and the scarlet spear fired from her exposed feet, barely grazing his face, leaving a large bloody gash.
It fell far away, and the impact of the explosion caused sand and stones to fly up and splash into his eyes, causing Hao Qing to blink and shake off what went in.
His whole body was covered with symphogear...
This iconic image reminded Hao Qing of the fusion body, but... the current response should only be from the third category of qualified people who have been exposed to the mirror of the mythical beast. Why can they still do this?
"graaaa——!!"
It's just that the battlefield left people no time to think. The violent beast had broken its restraints and rushed towards him. Hao Qing could only brace himself to fight. Unexpectedly, the strength of the opponent's explosion this time was beyond imagination, and he was directly knocked down.
On the ground.
Rumble——
The sharp hands like claws were attached to his face, continuously radiating the energy entwined with scarlet and dark gold, and exploded at zero distance. It was like launching a human bomb, and the ground exploded violently, revealing an abyss of tens of kilometers.
Hao Qing flew downwards like an underground piercing bullet. After the bump, a stinging sensation spread all over his body, making his whole body shake. He reacted immediately, spread out his arms and forcefully hit the surrounding area.
After scraping away countless gravels, he barely managed to stop the car, but when he raised his head, the murderous spear pierced towards him with a horrifying brilliance.
[If you collide with her head-on, the explosive energy will be released...]
Ah... Really, I don’t want to worry about that much now!
Hot heat emerged from the fist, illuminating the face with wounds and blood. He raised his head, and his slightly angry face glowed with a high-pitched fighting spirit, and he charged towards the murderous gun——
"Stop it, you guy, sober up for me——"
Symbolizing the collision of the two people, unprecedented brilliance burst out from the intertwined fists. After a flash, the squeezed energy shrank to the limit and instantly expanded into a white ball. The extremely powerful shock wave centered on them, and in an instant,
Sweep the entire space.
The strong impact suddenly turned the entire underground upside down. As soon as he was stunned, the light from the outside was projected in. The ground felt beneath his body, and the blue sky was in front of him.
Am I... back to the ground?
Hao Qing turned his head and saw the rampaging beast lying opposite him. His eyes tightened for a moment, and his muddy mind suddenly came to his senses. He kicked his feet and stood up.
Correspondingly, the other party seemed to be affected by the impact just now, and the whole person was in a daze. However, when Hao Qing bounced up, she seemed to be stimulated. She also stood up, arched her body, and carried
The panting beast roar and the scarlet gaze full of destructive impulse seemed to be about to pounce on him and bite him, biting off his throat.
However, looking at her appearance, he seemed to have thought of something, and Hao Qing suddenly sneered: "Hey, wasn't it very majestic just now? Why are you panting? If you want to kill me, you can't rely on this level~
"
As if feeling that the other party was provoking him, the ferocious beast roared and was about to rush over, but after taking a few steps, he tripped over the gravel on the roadside and fell to the ground.
"Tsk, that's really unseemly. After all, why would I ask you for a duel like this? You're just like a child."
Rampage, after all, is not a sustainable fighting mode, not to mention such intense output, the consumption and load on the body is even more astonishing.
Originally, he had the mentality of giving it a try, but after giving it a try... it turned out to be the case.
"aaaa..."
The ferocious beast grabbed the ground and tried to stand up, but someone walked up to her, stretched out his hand, and said "well-intentioned".
"How about it, do you need me to help you stand up?"
Snap——
Unsurprisingly, the hand was slapped off.
"Graaa...it's so noisy! Who do you think you are, you are always judging people!"
It seemed that due to severe physical exertion, the impact of the rampage began to gradually subside, and the other party actually began to have the consciousness to respond to him.
Hao Qing was stunned for a moment, and then pursed his face: "Haha? Aren't you the one who has been pestering me all this time? And then you ran off on your own, and you are so willful, do you still want me to give you something?
Do you want a hug?"
After saying that, he also made corresponding movements, and the response he got was naturally a fist——
"I'm not a child! And who have you to say that I'm willful? People who run around wearing a spider mask and say smugly that this is adult romance are the worst childish people!"
"Hey, I don't remember doing anything like this!"
Hao Qing, who avoided the punch, retorted with some guilt for no reason, and then looked at Hibiki's current state thoughtfully.
Is it because she is not fully conscious yet? She is more willing to communicate with me than before.
"I don't remember, I don't remember, I don't remember, how much you like to use this excuse to prevaricate!"
This sentence seemed to stimulate her again...
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about."
Just don't remember, just don't remember. Hao Qing, who doesn't intend to lie, chooses to face it head on.
"Anyway, I'm going to finish you off here today!"
The pulled-up glove was punched out with the miasma inside, and Hao Qing counterattacked with a hot left fist.
"It's up to you? If you can do it, try it!"
The two fists clashed, creating an even brighter and brighter white light. The force of the recoil sent both of them flying, and they rolled to the ground several times before barely stopping.
"Why, can't you stand up?"
After slowing down for a while, Hao Qing stood up first and looked at Xiang who was half-kneeling on the ground. He put his hands on his hips and showed a very proud posture, which made her eyes instantly become angry.
"Oh, it's not over yet!"
Looking at the clear ingredients in those scarlet eyes, Hao Qing decided to add a few more ingredients——
"Really, but you can't even overcome the urge to destroy, how can you talk about this? Just admit defeat!"
"Don't be so casual and look down on others——"
Hibiki, who had regained his strength, fought against Hao Qing again, but when they were going back and forth with each other, a young voice suddenly came from the surroundings.
"Where...is this?"
This sound attracted Hao Qing's attention. He took out his telekinesis and found a young girl huddled in the corner, looking at them timidly.
Why are there children here? Didn’t I disperse everyone here in advance?
Wait a minute, it seems we are no longer in the park...
"Where are you looking!"
But the person opposite didn't notice this, and instead took the opportunity to attack him with a fist.
"Wait, you idiot!"
Hao Qing, who noticed that the energy was about to approach, quickly dissipated the heat in his hands, blocked her fist, and held it.
"you……"
At the moment when they were briefly brought closer, without waiting for Hibiki to say anything, Haoqing threw Hibiki over with the help of a small amount of telekinesis, and the landing point was right next to the little girl.
At the same time, as if affected by the fight between the two, a rock fell loosely, and Hibiki, who happened to fall in front of him, noticed her, almost subconsciously, and rushed over to block in front of her.
Bang.
The falling rocks rolled down and landed on Hibiki's back, scattering countless fragments.
But she protected the child in her arms.
"Is it you..."
Looking at the little girl in his arms, Hibiki felt a little dazed and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her before...
[It’s okay, sister, I will protect you!]
Yes, I remembered that in the beginning, this power existed to protect others.
But now I am...
"Big sister...?"
The little girl stretched out her hand towards her cheek. Hibiki subconsciously wanted to get out of the way, but failed.
The warmth brought by the fleshy little hands against his face soothed the ferocious and angry expression.
"Aren't you afraid of me..."
She knew what she looked like now, that appearance, which would make people feel scared...
"Why should I be afraid? Big sister saved me. She is a very good person and very handsome!"
Handsome, but I'm obviously a very bad person...
Putting down the big words, I have to use the power of these hands to maintain and protect others, but I can’t catch anything, and I can’t protect anything. I even use this miraculous power to hate and hurt others...
She is no longer qualified to be like before...
Facing her gaze, Hibiki subconsciously turned his gaze to look at the puddles on the ground, only to find that the miasma on his body had long since faded away, and what was left behind was the pose of a pretender who had finished drawing his sword.
Hibiki's golden eyes widened in disbelief.
Why, I feel like this...
"Huh, it's finally okay. That's great."
Just when he was stunned, someone's annoying voice came over again, making his face tighten.
As a result, what the little girl said next made Hibiki's face tense and he couldn't hold it in for an instant.
"It's uncle!"
"puff--"
This uncontrollable laughter made Hao Qing stagger as he walked over. After a glance, he quickly calmed down and said: "Ahem, why are you alone? If a child goes out without anyone to accompany him, he will
Very dangerous.”
"My mother said she had something to do and asked me to wait for her where I was... Then I saw eldest sister and uncle swinging around together. I was a little curious, so I stayed."
Hearing each other's innocent words, Haoqing and Xiang looked at each other guiltily, and immediately separated.
"Well, we are playing a game, just...wrestling!"
"Ah, yes, yes, we are wrestling. You have to pay attention to these and don't imitate them."
At this point, the two people who had previously clashed surprisingly reached an agreement.
"Wrestling is great. I can wear such handsome clothes, so I will also follow suit in the future!"
"No, it's not. This activity is very dangerous and you can easily hurt yourself..."
Hibiki hurriedly tried to persuade him, but looking at the light in the child's eyes, he thought his words were all in vain.
Damn it...it's all this guy's fault, he taught someone a bad lesson again.
However, after this experience, she felt much calmer.
It turns out that I can still touch something now...
"Are you leaving like that? I want my mother to see such a handsome person!"
"No, no need, that's fine..."
"When you go back, please pay more attention to your safety."
"Got it~"
With a smile on his face, Huai sent the child back to his mother. After looking at each other to make sure that there was no one around, the two of them changed their expressions. In the next second, they punched each other in the face with their fists.
"You idiot, do you want to know how dangerous it was just now!"
"Oh, it turns out you don't want to hurt others. I thought you didn't care at all!"
Although the mentality of both of them has undergone subtle changes due to the previous incident, the previous matter cannot be forgotten like this, but they don't know what to say. The strong warrior and the pretender who drew the sword had no choice but to play with each other.
They are looking for trouble with each other and want to continue fighting like this.
What they didn't expect was that the pain on their bodies and lack of physical strength caused them to lose their strength. Their fists were loosened from each other's bodies, and they half-knelt on the ground together.
The two of them couldn't stand up for a while, couldn't fight, and couldn't put aside the matter, so they had no choice but to continue talking -
"Huhu... I didn't expect that you were trying to hold on. That's right. You can't show your ugly side to your children."
"What qualifications do you have to say that I..."
"Of course, you have to be tough, hehe."
"You say this so naturally. You really haven't changed."
"Hey, don't sound like you know me very well. We've only met a few times, right?"
"It seems inappropriate to say this to a person who unscrupulously exposes other people's scars when they first meet, right?"
"It doesn't matter whether you are worthy or not. In terms of self-confidence, you are at the highest level."
This matter-of-fact tone made Xiang raise his eyebrows, raised his head and glared at him, his face full of dangerous aura:
"...Didn't you say you don't remember?"
"I have my own intelligence gathering channels - my partner told me!"
Hao Qing brought up the topic without changing his expression, and when he heard that the person who had taken care of him, the expression on Xiang's face also softened.
"It seems like you have a pretty good relationship."
"Haha, after all, we are partners, even though this guy always tries to tear me down." In the second half of the sentence, his voice lowered, and then as if to cover up, he continued loudly, "So
, I have every reason not to lose to you, because I have made an appointment with it!"
Made an appointment...
[I'm back!]
[Welcome back... But, you are late again.]
[Hey, because I found another lost child on the roadside...]
It's just that the sunshine that belongs to me is no longer there.
Thinking of this, Hibiki's eyes dimmed a little, and then became sharp again.
Then, there is only one thing I have to do.
"I know, but neither do I. I can't lose to you here."
"oh?"
Facing his slightly surprised look, Hibiki did not give in, thus showing that he was serious.
Hope... I take it for granted.
"Okay, if you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end."
At this point, Hao Qing did not continue to delve deeper. He just clenched his fists and stood up.
"Well."
As soon as he stood up, the wound caused by the "God-Killing Fist" began to hurt, causing Hao Qing to stagger a little. If he was not careful, he would fall to the ground.
Snap.
A soft and strong hand grabbed him.
"you……"
Looking at Xiang, Hao Qing was a little surprised, but Xiang just turned his head away and continued calmly: "I just want to change places, and if you fall here... it will be very troublesome."
"Oh, it's up to you."
Although he could guess what the other person's expression was at this time, this time... Hao Qing chose to let nature take its course.
The two of them supported each other and walked along the road according to their vague memories. They fell down many times during the process...
By the time they returned to the ruined park, night had arrived. The two of them let go of each other's hands as if they were relieved, and sat half-sat on the ground, looking at the moonlight. For a while, each other remained silent.
I never noticed it before... today is a full moon.
