Seeing He Shi lunging towards him, Bu Zhi closed his eyes, about to bite off his tongue.
His body was meant for Tian Shang, and he would absolutely not let that lewd woman defile it.
Although his body was weak, his innate abilities as an esper remained unchanged. Even if he exerted all his strength,
besides excruciating pain, his tongue wouldn't sever. However, the intense pain did help him regain some strength.
Bu Zhi sprang up from the ground and bolted.
But the recovery was temporary. He hadn't run ten meters before he collapsed again with a thud.
He looked back in panic, wanting to see if He Shi was chasing him. Upon seeing, he just lay on the ground, giving up completely.
Because he saw Ming Yue, Ba Jiu, and Bao Bao standing in a line, blocking He Shi.
"He Shi, how can you be so shameless? Bu Zhi is Bu Ying's own brother.
And you treat him like this? Have you no sense of propriety, honor, or morality?"
Ming Yue pointed at He Shi and cursed, knowing everything He Shi had done just now.
To find the killer of She Er, she had activated her heavenly sight and earthly hearing, enveloping the entire Yunmeng Mountain.
She then discovered Bu Zhi running, with He Shi in pursuit.
She was puzzled as to how He Shi had entered the cloud sea without her knowledge.
But there was no time for her to ponder, as He Shi, by some unknown means, had already subdued Bu Zhi.
He Shi's vulgar words and utterly shameless actions made Ming Yue feel as if her eyes and ears had been polluted.
She immediately rushed over with Ba Jiu and Bao Bao to rescue Bu Zhi and berate He Shi.
"Propriety, honor, morality? He Ming Yue, don't be ridiculous.
This is the apocalypse, do those things still exist? Also, let me remind you.
I'm not He Shi anymore, I'm Huan Li. Huan from 'fantasy' and Li from 'separation.'
Since you're here, I don't need to bother with this fool anymore, forcing him to hand over the divine medicine that brings the dead back to life.
And the method to transform scorched earth into fertile land. It's quite troublesome. Just give me the medicine and tell me the method."
Seeing Ming Yue appear, He Shi showed no panic. Instead, she struck a seductive pose and directly made demands of Ming Yue.
"You slut, who do you think you are? Who cares if you're called He Shi or Huan Li? Today, I'll beat you into pieces."
Seeing He Shi's pretense towards Ming Yue, Ba Jiu was enraged.
Invisible mental energy condensed into needle-like forms and shot directly towards He Shi's brain.
Immediately, he waved his hand, conjuring a fireball that followed closely behind, also charging forward.
He was going for the kill, first using his mental energy to turn He Shi into an idiot,
then burning her to ashes with a fireball. He detested this woman so much that he wanted her gone.
But to his surprise, his mental energy attack was like a clay ox entering the sea, having no effect whatsoever.
Moreover, He Shi, who was supposed to be a normal person, dodged his fireball with a flash of movement.
Then, like a falcon, she soared through the air, over Ming Yue and the others, flying directly towards Bu Zhi.
Ba Jiu was stunned. When did He Shi become so powerful? His attack was level nine mental energy,
capable of attacking opponents of higher levels. He wasn't boasting; even a level ten esper couldn't withstand it.
Yet He Shi, without any esper abilities, not only blocked it but was completely unaffected. It was truly bizarre.
While Ba Jiu was in a daze, Ming Yue was not. He Shi's objective was clear: Bu Zhi.
She absolutely could not let He Shi succeed. Ming Yue waved her hand, and three wind blades appeared.
They shot directly towards He Shi, no, Huan Li's back.
The wind blades were incredibly fast. Before Huan Li could reach Bu Zhi, they caught up and struck her back.
With three crisp clangs, the wind blades seemed to hit metal. Huan Li's speed did not diminish.
She suffered no damage and directly grabbed the bewildered Bu Zhi.
"Now, will you hand over the medicine and tell me the method? Otherwise, I'll kill him.
Surprised? Your esper abilities are useless against me because I am now a cyborg.
He Ming Yue, do you know how much torture I endured?
In that damned laboratory, when I couldn't bear it any longer, the only thing I thought of was you.
I thought that once I became strong, I could step on you like I used to.
Now, I have succeeded. In the farmland, I watched you take She Er away, and I didn't intervene.
Because it was he who turned me into this, making me wish I were dead. Did you kill him?
Then, on behalf of myself and Bu Ying, I thank you. It was he who killed Bu Ying and turned me into this.
However, it's just a thank you. Between us, we are still mortal enemies.
You killed my mother. This deep-seated hatred, I will avenge."
Huan Li held her right arm across Bu Zhi's neck. Her once fair palm instantly transformed into a dagger.
At first, she was merely threatening Ming Yue with Bu Zhi. But as she spoke, she became more agitated.
She began to vent her rage, shouting at Ming Yue. Although she was vain and shameless,
even now as a cyborg, she was, at her core, still a normal person.
She had been taken to the laboratory by She Er while unconscious. When she woke up,
she found herself on a cold operating table, her limbs restrained, and naked.
She was terrified and on the verge of collapse, but she couldn't scream. Infinite fear filled her heart.
But what awaited her was not just fear, but also pain.
For the past two days, she had been forcibly given large doses of medication. When the effects took hold, the pain in her body was like being cut by a thousand knives.
Eventually, the pain was so intense that she lost all sensation, as if her body was no longer hers.
Just as she lost the feeling of pain, she was plunged into another nightmare, one she could never have imagined.
While fully conscious, she watched as two men in black,
one by one, sliced the flesh from her body. Only her skeleton remained.
Although she couldn't feel the pain, watching her body being dismembered while fully conscious, she wanted to go mad.
But she couldn't. Perhaps the drugs she had taken not only numbed her to pain but also strengthened her will.
However, being stripped of flesh was not the end. Her bones were also dismantled, one by one, and replaced with metal ones.
Then, the men in black poured some concoction onto her internal organs. She saw her organs, visibly metalizing.
Once her organs had all turned to metal, the two men in black took out countless gold-attribute crystal cores.
Using a special method, they dissolved the crystal cores into a liquid and dripped it onto her skeleton.
Under the catalyst of the men in black's esper abilities, the crystal core liquid transformed into flesh and blood, enveloping the metal skeleton.
She had a body again, and thought it was over. But it was far from it.
