Chapter 822 437: Crippled!
Duan Yun had heard something in a past life: being bitten by a mosquito is level one pain, childbirth is level ten pain, so what's more painful than level ten childbirth pain?
The answer is getting bitten by a mosquito during childbirth.
In other words, pain can accumulate.
While making half the city suffer, Duan Yun didn't forget to summarize his experience.
His Ten-layered Spring Rain Sword Qi's induced pain can accumulate. Normally, reaching a certain height of pain would make a person faint, but his Sword Qi keeps people conscious—in other words, no fainting allowed, not even suicide is an option; all that's left is to fully experience the cumulative pain!
One could say, Thunder God and Mother is currently the most pained person in centuries.
The pain is beyond human.
She endures despite having the rare capability to commit suicide, just by relying on her superhuman "body" and "supreme will," no matter how much pain she feels, how venomous her gaze might be, it will all be unleashed on this ugly mortal later!
At this moment, her mouth hurt so much it had collided with her upturned nose.
Amidst immense pain, Thunder God and Mother had continuously ignored one person.
The Murong brothers.
Yes, she didn't care about him. Firstly, his presence was weak; secondly, Duan Yun's relentless offensive left her with no attention to spare for someone with such a weak presence.
Maybe even if she knew it was an illusion earlier, her intuition was that he had been trapped in the Qiankun Bag and was gone.
And now, the Murong brothers, who always appear last, have arrived!
In the Electromagnetic Sword Field, there were many Thunderfire, one cluster fell from the air unnoticed; at that moment, the Murong brothers suddenly revealed their form.
Simultaneously, the Blood Shadow Mad Blade appeared with them!
The Blood Shadow Mad Blade was blood-like, and the Murong brothers emerging from the Thunderfire were layer upon layer of blood shadow.
"Ah!"
The blood-like blade edge suddenly fell, fast and fierce.
It was the Murong brothers unleashing all their power after gathering strength!
During the earlier eye contact, Murong Brothers and Duan Yun had already tacitly completed the division of labor.
Duan Yun utilized the Thunderfire in the array to hide the Murong brothers' form, while the Murong brothers relied on Thunderfire to advance undetected, just waiting for this opportunity!
They wanted this fat pig to die!
Thunder God and Mother was already in paralyzing agony, unable to extricate herself. The Murong brothers' sudden appearance caught her off guard, leaving no time for effective defense.
Just a crisp crack was heard, as the Blood Shadow Mad Blade accurately pierced into her neck, and because the blade was too long, it even collided with her spine.
The Blood Shadow Mad Blade's edge had grooves, and the Murong brothers were proficient enough to sense details, confident they could extract the spine along with decapitating her when the blade hit the opponent's spine!
The Murong brothers acted immediately!
As the blade entered the body, they firmly planted their feet on Thunder God and Mother's shoulders, pulling the blade and extracting the spine!
With a swoosh, the spine flew up half a foot before suddenly halting.
This was because Thunder God and Mother's fatness came alive again, tightly gripping the blade.
Thunder God and Mother had rarely suffered such severe injury; at least in her remaining memories, there was no such incident.
Previously, despite being in excruciating pain, as long as she didn't commit suicide, she wouldn't die, but now her life was at risk.
The spine, also known as the Dragon Bone, if removed, would mean demise even for an Immortal.
She remembered a fellow who liked to extract people's spines to use as a sword.
Thunder God and Mother desperately held onto the blade, her gaze venomous as she said, "Shameless! Ambush!"
Seeing this scene, Duan Yun acted without hesitation, reducing and weakening the Sword Field, channeling the remaining True Qi into his own body.
At this moment, his body resembled an unstoppable flying arrow, rapidly sweeping towards Thunder God and Mother!
The Murong brothers struggled to extract the blade; he was there to help!
With a thud, when Duan Yun landed on Thunder God and Mother's shoulder, the two brothers' hands were already gripping the hilt together!
"Die!"
"Die!"
Duan Yun and the Murong brothers exerted force simultaneously, causing the Blood Shadow Mad Blade's blade to surge upward, pulling Thunder God and Mother's spine along with it!
This time, the blade raised the spine two feet, visibly showing that her spine was golden.
Yet in this situation, they didn't fully extract it.
Because the Qiankun Bag formed by the Eight Heavenly Dragons was once again approaching, sucking at the two to pull their hands holding the blade down.
One side was pulling up, the other was sucking down, like a tug-of-war.
Only this tug-of-war seemed rather underworldly, the rope being Thunder God and Mother's spine, concerning the life and death of both parties.
The Murong brothers looked pained.
The earlier strike had nearly exhausted them, now facing resistance, was not much different than a spent force.
Duan Yun's state was better, but not by much.
This should have been his highest-intensity usage of the Electromagnetic Sword Field; both the previously charged thunder and the demon electricity within him were running low.
The demon electricity, sensing his fatigue, even began acting out of control.
Continuing like this, it was uncertain who would prevail.
Just then, Duan Yun's Extraordinary Wisdom flashed, his eyes lit up.
He squatted his body pulling the blade, and placed a palm on Thunder God and Mother's head.
You suck me, I'll suck you back!
"Beiming Divine Skill!"
Duan Yun used his left hand to pull the blade with the Murong brothers, while his right hand was on Thunder God and Mother's head, absorbing her True Qi and thunder.
Using one hand to pull the blade and the other to absorb simultaneously, draining her True Qi and thunder, was like killing two birds with one stone.
I'm simply a genius!
Nevertheless, Thunder God and Mother's True Qi and thunder were so pure, purer than anyone he had absorbed before.
This increased the difficulty of assimilation for him.
Moreover, the action itself was challenging.
This squat pulling and absorbing motion was also a bit unnatural, affecting force exertion.
Duan Yun resolved, upon returning, to master absorbing True Qi with his feet, making it more convenient for situations like this next time.
"Ah!"
Duan Yun was digesting Thunder God and Mother's Thunder True Qi, his eyes turning blood-red.
Thunder God and Mother noticed the anomaly, fear spreading across her eyes.
For at this rate, a situation of mutual growth and decline could really appear, unless Duan Yun self-destructed.
By right, a mere mortal should not withstand her True Qi.
But Duan Yun wasn't a typical mortal; he had long mastered demon electricity, truly "nobody understands thunder and electricity better than him!" wasn't an exaggeration.
And Duan Yun had indeed begun digesting her True Qi.
More horrifyingly, at that moment, the Sickled mouth slanted to Thunder God and Mother's nose suddenly opened wide, shouting, "I want to be a Hero!"
Entering Duan Yun wasn't just Thunder God and Mother's True Qi but also her memories.
Thunder God and Mother lived above, among the clouds, those memories.
These memories were cryptic, akin to the Thunder Language she left for the Thunder Listeners.
For she originally came from those Thunder Language, and the traces she left in the human world were merely developments of her Star Fury.
Yet from within these, Duan Yun understood some of her emotions.
She wasn't only deeply concerned with beauty and ugliness but also extremely afraid of injury.
It was unclear how long Thunder God and Mother had lived, being considered an Immortal wasn't a stretch, but perhaps living so long and wielding such "Divine Power" didn't come without costs.
The cost was her inability to be wounded.
Or rather, the injuries of an Immortal living long and seeing all are irreversible.
Once injured to a certain extent, healing becomes impossible, potentially worsening throughout the body.
Consequently, even if Thunder God and Mother won, she was genuinely crippled.
Crippled even more than the legendary Old Demon Duan.
At this moment, Duan Yun's eyes suddenly focused.
He sensed Thunder God and Mother's total commitment to her emotions.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Thunder God and Mother roared, the flesh and blood inside her squeezed inwardly with madness.
A snap sound, like a metal fastener being unhooked.
Thunder God and Mother herself broke a section of her spine.
Thus, the next instant, Duan Yun and Murong brothers felt a sudden release, as their bodies followed with the blade flying out.
