Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 57: Restrained
Song Shi stepped out and stood with a knife in his hand. Grove looked furious, and his huge iron arms made a dull mechanical sound.

The next moment, the two of them disappeared at the same time.

Throughout the entire factory, the harsh sound of metal collision suddenly exploded!
The monomolecular blade and the iron arm pressed tightly against each other, and at the moment when countless mechanical components were twisting and roaring, unparalleled power was transmitted to the iron arm, directly causing Song Shi to fly backwards!

“It’s really powerful.”

The moment he was thrown backwards, Song Shi adjusted his posture, landed on the ground and took several steps back to relieve the huge force.

No need to look.

Song Shi could feel that his right hand was trembling slightly.

Even though he was wearing the [White Armor Type III] power arm guards, he was still a long way behind in terms of pure strength - the opponent's pair of "giant iron arms" with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters were truly heavy-duty prostheses, and their main features were pure violence and the protective power of overlapping armored shells.

Just a head-on collision just now made my internal organs feel uncomfortable.

But at this moment, the appearance of this pair of "giant iron arms" became even more miserable.

Large areas of armor had peeled off, the surface was bumpy and covered with black marks of gunpowder, and from time to time a few arcs of light could be seen jumping - the previous strong firepower from the three sentry towers and a series of grenades thrown by Song Shi had caused scarlet "fault warnings" to pop up continuously in Grove's field of vision.

But there was no time to think.

Almost at the same time that Song Shi landed on the ground, Grove's body sank slightly, and his legs, which had already been implanted with the "alloy skeleton" and "hydraulic conduction system", began to exert force.

Then, as the ground cracked under the heavy load, Grove roared, and the whole person was like an unstoppable heavy tank! He rushed forward at full speed! Crush all obstacles! Crashed towards Song Shi!

boom! boom! boom!
Just the "stepping" and "landing" was like a series of artillery shells roaring in my ears.

This cold storage building is not small.

But at this moment, when Grove opened his arms and launched a charge, all the space in front of him seemed to be wrapped up and crushed in his arms - everything in front of him had only one option left: "being crushed"!

There is no way to avoid it.

——Then don’t avoid it.

Lines of spiritual energy began to rise, outlining the outline of the "Forging Flame".

But this time, the flames no longer gushed out as wildly as before. Instead, they were gathered together under the control of a thought and flowed into every part of the body.

Completely abandon the "external" application of the Forging Flame, and instead put all of it into the body, temporarily turning oneself into "firewood", exchanging the raging burning for more powerful body functions.

"This method of 'keeping oneself within oneself' is a high-level operation of psychic energy."

There was no flame visible around his body, only Song Shi's eyes were shockingly bright at this moment, and a hint of molten red gold appeared in the depths of his pupils.

Grove said nothing.

He didn't have time to speak, he just raised his arms to interrupt Song Shi, turning into a "death" without sound that didn't need to be expressed with sound!
Then, Song Shi disappeared on the spot with a loud laugh, leaving only his voice echoing.

"——Just what I want!"

clang!
Dazzling sparks flew everywhere and sharp buzzing sounds continued.

With the forging flame "burning within the body", at this moment, although Song Shi still had a gap in strength, his pure speed had completely surpassed that of his opponent.

Boom——clang clang clang clang!
But within a breath, the single-molecule knife and the huge iron arm had violently collided more than ten times!
The previous sword had just been slashed out and seemed about to fall, but in the next moment, another completely different slash was already slashed out. Song Shi's entire body had already dragged a trail of afterimages, and only the harsh sound of metal collision was still echoing.

Even more expensive.

Because Song Shi had no defense. Facing the huge iron arm that could easily crush him, Song Shi swung his sword with an almost cathartic gesture, without the slightest intention of defending - or rather, he was attacking instead of defending!
For a moment, one might even question whose station this was.

Faced with the endless stream of sword light all over his body, at this moment Grove completely curled up under the protection of the iron arms, using the latter's quadruple outer armor - now "two layers" - to block the slashing of the single-molecule sword with this pair of iron arms.

--suppress.

Obviously, the degree of transformation was much higher than the other party, and the implants were purchased at a high price, but at this moment, it was actually him who was being...
suppress?

When the monomolecular knife once again separated at the first touch, the next attack was about to come out but had not yet been made.

Feeling the force of the slash weakening for the first time since the start of the battle, Grove suddenly opened his arms, and his prosthetic eyes captured the trajectory of his movements with incredible accuracy. He grinned and stretched out his giant hand, grabbing the retreating blade!
"—Jaridon!"

The sound of gunfire exploded from afar!
In the quagmire filled with broken limbs and debris, with several shrapnel piercing his right eye and a severed thigh, the blood-stained strong man leaned on several corpses.

Instead of pretending to be dead, he suddenly raised his head, aimed at Song Shi in the distance, and pulled the trigger on the rifle in his arms!

At the same time, a terrifying sound of metal twisting was heard.

Grove's pair of heavy-duty prosthetic limbs, which were specially designed for power output, were enough to break the sentry tower. The moment he grasped the single molecular blade, he roared and exerted force, trying to crush the latter -

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Everything around him began to slow down. Grove opened his eyes wide, trying to see fear on the other person's face, but the black mask blocked everything.

At this moment, Song Shi was also twisting with force. Under two completely different forces, time resumed flowing again -

Countless fine cracks appeared on the blade of the monomolecular knife, and in less than tenth of a second, these cracks suddenly expanded, and the monomolecular knife disintegrated and shattered amidst the flying iron fragments!

There was no longer any sense of gripping anything in Grove's hands.

From the moment the single-molecule knife shattered into pieces, Song Shi was no longer bound and disappeared on the spot.

Why is this guy behind me?
Looking at the scene below, Grove was startled, but then the thought "Why am I suddenly looking down at these" occupied his mind. In the next moment, these complicated thoughts fell silent as his head fell to the ground.

Then, the roar of assault rifles followed.

Using Grove's body to block the first wave of bullets, Song Shi seized the moment and swung out three broken blades sideways, which pierced into Jarridan's throat while he was still pulling the trigger, causing the latter to go limp.

Until this is all over.

Grove's huge body lost its head, and pungent blood spurted out. He fell backwards with a dull sound.

"call--"

Song Shi slowly stepped over Grove's body.

With every step he took, a white mist emanated from his body and lingered around.

Just like the "steam" that comes out of boiling water burned by flames.

Finally, he stopped.

Holding the badly damaged single-molecule knife with only a small half left, Song Shi nodded slightly as he looked at Jaredon lying on the ground covered in sticky blood and still staring at him.

"Do you have any last words?"
