Chapter 219: Sixty-four Yong Xin and Ian_2
He paused.
“So, Father, are you going to stop ?”
“It was you who made what I am now.”
“And now, are you just going to watch and let live forever like this?”
Gerard did not speak.
But even Bai Wei could feel his body trembling slightly.
…Such a bloodless knife.
Bai Wei thought to himself.
Then, he heard Gerard softly say, “No, I won’t just watch. Since all this was caused by , then I shall take responsibility.”
Upon hearing these words, a smile gradually returned to Yong Xin’s face.
But in the next second, the roaring of the Chainsaw Sword resonated.
Yong Xin’s body was split in two once again.
“I will send you to Hell myself,” Gerard said coldly, “and don’t call father, I’m quite sure… you are not Ian.”
A heavy sigh.
“So, you’ve seen through after all.”
This ti Yong Xin did not rush to reassemble his body. Instead, he remained split apart and pulled several segnts of bone out of his body.
The bones were inlaid with tal.
“Just like the original Ian, who at all costs wanted to kill , even implanting these blades into his bones to prevent resurrection,” Yong Xin said with a light smile, “But he failed, just as you will today, and I killed him, and today I will… kill you too.”
With that, Yong Xin charged at Gerard with a howl.
More accurately, each part of Yong Xin howled as it charged Gerard, like a Puppet whose body parts had scattered, each part attacking Gerard from different directions.
And Gerard certainly wasn’t just watching.
He activated [Overload]. Although the prosthetic limb perfected by Youju could not unleash the full effect of [Overload], at most only the effect similar to a youthful version, it was adequate to handle the current onslaught.
Gerard swung the seemingly heavy Chainsaw Sword with the agility of a twig, continuously slashing, and the Chainsaw Sword screeched as it sliced through the air.
Then ca several crisp sounds and the collision of sparks; those bones were shattered, flesh flew in all directions.
But it didn’t have much effect. Soon enough, they regrouped and attacked Gerard again.
Just as Yong Xin had said.
The separated flesh would co together again, the broken bones would reconnect.
He was Undying, no one could kill him.
“What should I do?”
Gerard asked Bai Wei in his mind.
“There are two thods,” Bai Wei said lightly, “The first one is my eyes.”
“Use your eyes?”
“Yes,” Bai Wei said, “You haven’t forgotten the Rule of my eyes, have you?”
Of course, Gerard hadn’t forgotten.
Facing that assistant nad Terrell in the Fourth District tower, Gerard had witnessed the true power of Bai Wei’s eyes.
Sothing immortal, just erase it, huh?
Indeed, it was a very good thod.
Only a Rule can counteract another Rule.
“But I wouldn’t recomnd using this thod,” Bai Wei’s voice rang out again, “because this guy is no ordinary person. Just erasing a sufficient part of his body would kill him for sure, but from my observation, even if only one finger is left, he’s the kind that will not thoroughly die and maybe turn into sothing that hops around leading others to fall.”
…Hopping, leaping creatures leading others to fall?
Gerard always felt this phrase sounded a bit odd, but he couldn’t afford to ponder it, for the attack launched by Yong Xin was becoming increasingly troubleso.
Although the Chainsaw Sword in his hands could sever every part of Yong Xin, the severed parts would either reattach themselves or split into two and continue to assault Gerard, leaving them impossible to vanquish.
This back and forth, even with the enhancent of Overload, Gerard couldn’t possibly endure indefinitely.
“So, if you want to use your eyes, you can only eradicate all of his parts, which is quite troubleso, and your body will hardly withstand it,” Bai Wei said slowly, “Therefore, I suggest using another thod.”
Gerard felt irritated; he didn’t understand why Bai Wei was speaking so slowly, as if he was concerned about sothing.
In that instant, a rib had already circled to Gerard’s blind spot and, with a whistling sound tearing through the air, stabbed towards Gerard’s head.
By the ti Gerard noticed, it was nearly in front of his eyes.
But at that mont, a swift shadow flashed by, and before Gerard could react, it sent the rib flying away.
Gerard froze. He turned his head and saw that the shadow that had neutralized the attack was…
Yong Xin’s right hand.
…What was going on?
Was Yong Xin’s body trying to stop another part of itself?
After a mont of confusion, Gerard thought of sothing.
His eyes widened incredulously, but he still roared toward that arm: “Ian!!!”
As soon as his words fell, more flesh surged in front of the arm, quickly engulfing it, and then reford into the figure of Yong Xin.
“Ah, you’ve found out, huh?” Yong Xin said with a faint smile, “Yes, your son hasn’t died yet.”
At that mont, Gerard finally lost his calm deanor he maintained before. His eyes bulged with bloodshot vessels, and his intense gasping nearly overwheld the roar of his Overload state!
“What have you done to him?!”
“Hm? What do you an, ‘what have I done to him?'” Yong Xin tilted his head, then slowly raised his right hand; Gerard saw that the hand was trembling violently, “I haven’t done anything. It’s just that he wanted to kill , but he didn’t succeed, that’s all.”
He paused, then a glint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
“Do you know? He and I should have been the closest of people. After you left him alone in that place, helpless, tornted daily by the agony of the Polluted Land, by the burden brought by his body disintegrating and reconstituting – yet even so, he refused to return, didn’t want to see you, because… he sensed my presence.”
“Yes, he knew he was… um, as you say, contaminated. He thought I was dangerous, so he refused to let return at all costs.”
“During that ti, he tried various thods to stop , like attempting to kill directly on a soul level, but how could that be possible? The Polluted Land is my ho ground; I possess an endless supply of power, whereas he had nothing.”
“He also tried killing himself, but, as I’ve said before, Domination… or rather, you wouldn’t let him die. So, even if he gouged out his own heart, chopped off his own head, severed his limbs, it was all in vain; the body would reconstitute ti and again. Even if he embedded steel into his flesh, it was of no use.”
“So in the end, I won, and he… lost.”
Gerard clenched his fists so tightly that his nails nearly pierced through his flesh.
“In the end, I still returned here, under the guise of ‘Yong Xin.'” Yong Xin spread his right hand in front of him, “And he is left with only this… To be honest, I still can’t be certain if he is alive or rely left with a lingering sentint, but I’m inclined to believe he’s still alive.”
“And the person responsible for such an outco…”
In Gerard’s trembling pupils, Yong Xin’s smile grew ever more triumphant.
“It’s you, Gerard.”
In that instant, lightning flashed outside, casting the entire hall into a pale light.
Seconds later, the thunderous roar slowly followed, striking Gerard’s heart like a bomb, causing his body to quiver uncontrollably as if he was about to collapse the next second.
But he propped himself up with his sword and didn’t fall.
Then, he spoke slowly, as if addressing Yong Xin or another person: “Another thod… what is it?”
Bai Wei’s voice slowly resonated within his mind.
“I’ll seize the Domination within him and give it to you for one more use… but only one more ti.”
“You, you should understand what I an.”
