Chapter 62: A Shot to the Head
"They still have the strength to struggle?"
Gu Xie was shocked by Liu Chun's power, but he was already floating in the air. With a wave of his hand, a piece of his black robe fell off and landed on the ground.
When he was fully exposed, his entire body was made of steel, with no part of normal human flesh and blood. Just looking at him, he felt extremely mechanical.
Intelligent robots?
Recalling what he had seen and heard in his previous life, Liu Chun quickly came up with this idea.
However, now is not the time to interact with the robot. For his own safety, Liu Chun must take this opportunity to beat him up.
"Don't worry, I'll deliver the final blow. Are you ready?"
Liu Chun looked distressed. After struggling a bit, he found that Wang Pei's strength seemed to have solidified, and no matter how hard he tried to exert force in his palm, it was to no avail.
"Break it open quickly!" Liu Chun screamed inwardly, but even so, Wang Pei didn't give him any face and still held him firmly in his hand.
"Without you, dealing with Liu Chun will be much easier for us later."
Gu Xie laughed wildly and charged at him with all his might.
Suddenly, Wang Pei, who had been obediently waiting for Gu Xie to attack Liu Chun, became active. Perhaps feeling increasingly uneasy, he grabbed Liu Chun, stood up, and threw him at the oncoming Gu Xie.
With this impact, Liu Chun no longer felt the fear of being slaughtered and immediately gathered his strength to fight back against Gu Xie.
This time, instead of clashing fists, Liu Chunfei used the "Canhe Finger" technique while flying, aiming it at Gu Xie's forehead. Just before his fingers collided with Gu Xie's forehead, the power of the "Canhe Finger" erupted, directly impacting Gu Xie's forehead.
Liu Chun just wanted to give this opportunity another shot, so regardless of whether the "Consort Finger" was ultimately successful, he was prepared to take it.
After the "Convergence Finger" technique was finished, Liu Chun immediately withdrew his fingers and clenched his fist. Then, Gu Xie's fist struck his wrist directly, and a sharp pain instantly swept across his entire arm.
If it weren't for the protection and support of the body's "internal strength," even timely medical treatment would have been useless; the entire arm would probably have been ruined.
Gu Xie didn't stop charging forward. After passing Liu Chun, he continued rushing towards Wang Pei, who had already transformed into a monster, to see what he was up to. He had actually thrown Liu Chun out, causing Gu Xie's plan to fail.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Xie pressed him.
At this moment, Wang Pei was speechless, but his eyes were filled with anger as he quickly clenched his fist and blasted it towards Gu Xie.
"Damn it!"
Gu Xie didn't care about anything else at the moment. He threw out his two swords, which accurately hit Wang Pei in the eyes, causing him to roar in pain.
The two swords had already pierced into his eye sockets, and Wang Pei tried to use his senses to pull them out, but to no avail.
In the midst of a violent struggle, Gu Xie decisively made his move and quickly and easily dealt with Wang Pei, who had mutated into a monster.
Liu Chun knew that it was the "Canhe Finger" he had just used that had worked, which was why Gu Xie had been dealt with so easily. Moreover, Gu Xie had even killed his own people, showing his ruthlessness. Therefore, he could not let him live any longer. This kind of "settling scores later" was too dangerous for him.
"There's one more!" Gu Xie slowly turned his head, using his internal energy to remove the two swords from Wang Pei's body, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Liu Chun on the other side.
"Are you coming over here yourself, or should I go to you?"
Liu Chun swallowed hard. It wasn't that he was worried that Gu Xie might suddenly have the strength to resist, but rather that he saw that Gu Xie was weak and now even standing seemed mechanical, not as agile as before.
He sheathed the cleaver at his waist and slowly said to Gu Xie, "Even if you are strong, I just used the 'Canhe Finger' to hit your head. Although you didn't feel anything, judging from your current performance, you can no longer hold on."
After Liu Chun's warning, Gu Xie slowly noticed his own condition. Not only were his movements slow, but his entire body also felt particularly heavy. This was not because he was being pressed down by stones, but because his own steel body was inherently heavy.
"You...how could you possibly hurt me?" Gu Xie was completely dumbfounded. "I...I don't believe it!"
Having said that, he charged at Liu Chun with his two swords raised, saying, "You can't possibly beat me."
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
As Liu Chun silently counted down, just as Gu Xie arrived in front of him to launch an attack, his once impenetrable body seemed to deflate completely, losing all its vitality. Now he was nothing more than a piece of steel.
Liu Chun stepped forward and pushed him to the ground, took the two swords away, and then observed him for a while. After confirming that Gu Xie was indeed dead, he was relieved and notified Pang Wenke and the others to come over.
Looking at the motionless corpse of the Steel Demon on the ground, Pang Wenke was still shaken: "Brother Liu, wasn't this Steel Demon incredibly powerful? Is he really dead?"
Liu Chun stared at the ancient evil spirit on the ground for a moment, then looked at Pang Wenke, and after a long while said, "Perhaps the ancient evil spirit that existed in this steel body is dead, and the true body has not yet appeared... But I am entrusting him to you now, so that if any danger occurs in the future, I will need your protection."
Liu Chun fiddled with the kitchen knife in her hand and walked towards Brother Zhang Man: "Let's go back first. I might not be feeling well, so I'll have to trouble you angels in white to take a look at me."
"Oh dear, let's go upstairs and rest for a bit."
"You're just too eager to show off. Next time, you can leave these kinds of things to us. We can show you how to do things too, okay?"
"Definitely, definitely..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Man and Pang Weixiong helped Liu Chun upstairs. He had just promised Liu Yifei that he would return to the film crew to film properly, and they couldn't afford any more problems.
Pang Wenke told those around him, "Quickly disassemble these steel parts, put them in special boxes, and take them back to the organization for research to prevent him from becoming lively and energetic again."
"Yes."
Regardless, this is to prevent accidents from happening again. Pang Wenke has seen the battle and what happened just now. If this Gu Xie is alive, none of them present are a match for him.
It seems that Liu Chun is indeed quite extraordinary. We must find a way to recruit him into the organization as soon as possible. Such a person must be recruited to avoid wasting his potential.
"Internal strength?" Pang Wenke looked at himself and muttered to himself, "If I could also cultivate that so-called 'internal strength,' maybe next time I could go in and out of those dangerous places with Brother Liu and risk my life together."
Then he took out his phone and dialed one of the numbers: "Hey! Boss, I'm planning to try out our 'Superman' project. If I succeed, everyone else will naturally be eager to participate, right?"
……
"Okay, okay, I'll go over as soon as I'm done with my things here. Please wait a moment, boss."
Seeing that Gu Xie's steel body had been dismantled into pieces and each part had been stored separately, Pang Wenke felt relieved and returned to Liu Chun's home.
Liu Chun tossed him the apple: "Is everything settled?"
"It's all cleaned up, so it won't affect the neighbors' daily lives." Pang Wenke sat down and ate with relish after receiving the message, then looked at Liu Chun: "Brother Liu, if you don't have anything else to do, just focus on filming. Leave the rest to us."
"Hmm." Liu Chun recalled what had happened before and voiced her guesses: "I heard Si Huajin's voice when I was taken away. They should be near Wang Pei's company. You can search those places carefully... There's something else I need to tell you. There's a person named Hai Xuan who's with Si Huajin. I'll provide you with his photo later. Pay special attention to this person during the investigation."
Now that filming has resumed, Liu Chun can take a break.
