184 The Result of the Pas (2/2)

I question while scratching my head before shaking it rather dismissively.

”What did you say!?”

Xi Shi notices my subtle insult. It is easy to piss her off, and I am rather surprised that she hasn't try to attack me yet.

”Please calm down, Miss Xi Shi. He is just taunting you.”

Mo Shu speaks up calmly and keeps his eyes on me. It is pretty hard to taunt someone who uses their brain and remains cool like him, and from what Legion tells me, there is something very strange within his genetic makeups.

His cells are also very unstable, so he technical be dead or at least be dying. He is not, however.

And that is strange.

I would like to analyze his blood more, but the micromachines have been found out within his body at the moment.

They are destroyed by his enhanced immune system very quickly.

He is also the only one who has managed to detect those micromachines. Strangely enough, he didn't tell the others about them.

”Yes, miss. And whatever he is, we will find out after we kill him.”

Sun Xiao tells Xi Shi before tensing his body up. His muscles swell, making him incredibly bulky. Doing that will drop his speed, so he must have an ace up his sleeve.

I decide to find out and leaps forward. To my surprise, Sun Xiao manages to evade my downward slash even if barely. I honestly didn't expect him to be that fast from his now hulking size.

And I also didn't expect him to retaliate so quickly either.

My sword immediately turns sideway to block a counterstrike. His punch is a lot heavier thanks to all of that muscle mass, and it is powerful enough to send me flying against the wall.

I am weighting about half a ton right now, so that is something.

”I am at a loss at how Lu Bu gets defeated by him?”

Sun Xiao questions as I pull myself out of the hole that he has just sent me in before patting off all the dirt and dust, looking completely fine.

That surprises Sun Xiao since his punches can shatter concrete and dent steels.

”I might have underestimated your speed due to your current size. I apologize. Let me try again.”

I response before twirling my blade. Before he could blink, his animalistic instinct saves him from being decapitated. I did give him a nice haircut though.

A shockwave follows, driving up dirt and rubbles since I have swung the blade so fast. Unlike in manga, air friction becomes really annoying when you exceed the speed of sound.

”Bastard!”

Sun Xiao shouts and attempts to strike me, but I severe his arm in an instant. Both arms actually. And I would have cut off his head too, but Mo Shu manages to save him by stepping in.

Mo Shu immediately follows up with a barrage of punches, so fast that I can feel getting smashed even if his fist didn't connect to my body. It isn't the only thing that is most surprising.

I am unable to severe his arms due to the carapace covering his skin. It is stronger than steel and also far more flexible than rubber. That shouldn't be possible.

My movements slow down for some reasons, allowing his fists to finally connect. Dozens of punches crashes into my body, turning my innards into mush despite being biomechanical in nature.

That is how much force behind each blow.

A single punch can kill a grown person. Not just kill but pulverize the person.

Once I realize why my movement has become so sluggish, Mo Shu distances himself and stands next to Sun Xiao, who manages to reattach his arms.

His rapid regeneration allows him to connect them as if it is an inconvenience.

That rapid regeneration seems like the most overpowering ability of them all, but it does burn a lot of energy. That is the drawback, but it will take a lot of slicing and dicing to eventually kill them.

A sure way is decapitation. That always work in the past.

”Why didn't you finish him off when you have the chance?”

Sun Xiao questions while I cut all the almost invisible strands that are wrapping around my limbs and trying to hold me in place. They are not strong enough to do so, but they do slow me down.

That is an annoying ability Xi Shi has. It is also strong enough to cut into my skin, drawling blood. Fake bloods, but still blood, nonetheless.

I guess that is why Xi Shi doesn't really fear my speed.

However, she is taking me a bit seriously now.

”It is not possible to kill him like that. His regeneration is abnormal. No. Not just that. His entire body is abnormal. It is like he is a machine. An organic machine.”

Mo Shu responses, making me frown lightly.

He manages to figure that out from trying to punch me into a pulp. I had thought that biomechanical construct can emulate a person perfectly, but apparently not.

Or maybe it has something to do with his ability.

”What the fuck is an organic machine?”

Sun Xiao questions while Mo Shu narrows his eyes at me, seemingly realizing something.

”It means that I can't play around anymore.”

Mo Shu responses before roaring. His killing intent washes over the entire room as his power skyrocket to unknown height.

This causes both Sun Xiao and Xi Shi to be shocked.

I am as well since his killing intent is far more powerful than a Chimera should have.

It also explains why Mo Shu can easily destroy and expel those micromachines infesting his body while the other two haven't even noticed them yet.

”You. What are –

Sun Xiao utters before his head gets crushed by Mo Shu.

”Sorry, but I don't have time for weakling, but at least you can be of some use to me. Be grateful that you will live on within me.”

Mo Shu responses before lifting up Sun Xiao, and right before my very eyes, the huge corpse instantly get devoured by Mo Shu. Not devoured. More of absorb into his body.

Seeing that, Xi Shi immediately back away as far as she can. She is frightened, more so than facing me even though I can kill her pretty easily.

”I apologize. I should have realized who you are from those things inside my body. When did they get into me? I think it was when I am talking to Lu Bu. That means Miss Xi Shi is right, Lu Bu is not who he supposes to be.”

Mo Shu speaks up and casts a look at Xi Shi.

”Infector…! Impossible!”

The pale woman utters.

”Oh. You know what I am, but too bad you don't know who I am. If you did, you would be begging for your life about now. Maybe I should infect you as a way to enter the organization.”

Mo Shu speaks up.

”Wait. I am not Xi Shi. I am just –”

Mo Shu tries to grab her before she could finish the sentence, but I severe his outstretched arm before slashing his body several times, forcing him to back away.

”It isn't nice to interrupt the lady, Mo Shu, or whoever you are.”

I point out as my blade glows red. It seems I need to resort to laser edge to cut through his limbs. This makes him one of the strongest Hybrids on file.

Stronger than even Kings and Queens in their prime.

In fact, his ability seems to be very similar to someone.

Someone that supposed to be dead, at least from what Johnathan has reported. Seems like I have to have a chat with the man about that. That is slobby work, but then again, it is pretty hard to kill him, as he is called a perfect parasite.

Mo Shu looks at his severed limbs before regenerating it. His severed arm also regenerated, growing and morphing into a full-grown man.

Another Mo Shu.
