Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1522 Kill!

The hand gripping the sword hilt was torn apart instantly by the enormous impact and high-frequency vibrations. Hot blood spurted out like a crushed berry, instantly soaking the rough leather hilt and meandering down the trembling forearm.

The irresistible impact propelled his feet like an out-of-control icebreaker, sending them shoving backward half a meter across the wrecked floor with a sickening crack! The debris piled beneath his feet was ground into dust, producing a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

However, this desperate block, imbued with all his will and strength, was not in vain!

He shook the scythe of death!

That terrifying bone blade, capable of slicing through steel bars, was blocked and deflected by his precise, lightning-fast upward slash!
The cold blade, whistling like tearing fabric, grazed his scalp!

Several strands of black hair, stuck together by sweat, broke off silently and drifted away. The vacuum shockwave brought up by the blade scraped across his cheek, leaving a burning sting. He could even smell the burning odor of protein as the hair strands instantly charred!
But the venomous fangs on the left side had already reached his ribs!

Just as Hachiman was channeling all his strength into blocking the attack, his body momentarily stiffened by the massive recoil, and his center of gravity inevitably shifted in a fatal instant—the vicious, scorpion-like sting from the left had already silently arrived!

The sharp tip of the bone blade was less than 20 centimeters away from the soft area of ​​his left kidney!
Hachiman could even clearly "sense" the chilling killing intent emanating from the alien creature gathered on the blade's tip, and smell the faint, sweet, metallic scent of the blood of other unfortunate souls lingering on it! The skin on his waist tightened suddenly under the extreme threat of death, and his hair stood on end!

Life and death hang in the balance in the blink of an eye!
"Ugh!" A muffled groan, suppressed by intense pain and despair, escaped from Hachiman's clenched teeth.

With his body still numb from the immense strain of blocking, he forced the last bit of strength from deep within his spine and, in a posture that was almost as if he were about to break his lumbar vertebrae, twisted his entire upper body to the right (towards the parasite) in a terrifyingly wide motion!

This movement caused him to pull his left ribcage back to its limit, attempting to create distance from the deadly tip of the stabbing bone blade.

At the same time, his right hand, which was tightly gripping the blood-stained longsword and was as numb as rotten wood, used the powerful rotational torque generated by twisting his waist to stop trying to block, just as the momentum of blocking the frontal attack had not yet dissipated. Instead, like riding a runaway horse, he forcefully pulled the heavy sword towards the lower left of his body! This was a way to deflect the force in a desperate situation, a final interference using the inertia of the weapon!
Pfft——! !

The tearing sound of flesh and skin ripping apart, enough to make one's scalp scalp explode and bone marrow freeze, clearly pierced the air!

The bone blade tip, which came at him like a venomous snake from the side, could not be completely avoided in the end!

It grazed the edge of the exposed left waist and abdomen of Hachiman's twisted back, and swept past fiercely!

The blade, made of high-density biological crystals and sharper than a scalpel, sliced ​​through the thin cotton pajamas like a hot knife cutting into butter, then cut through the skin and subcutaneous fat without any resistance, until it was deeply embedded in the muscle bundles of the external oblique muscle!
A terrifying wound, nearly 30 centimeters long and deep enough to reach the muscle layer, with eerily smooth edges due to high-speed cutting, burst open in an instant!

Beneath the rolled-up skin and flesh, the pinkish-white muscle fibers were clearly exposed, like ropes that had been roughly untied. You could even see the outline of the abdominal cavity, protected by tough fascia, rising and falling with each rapid breath!
The scalding hot blood didn't gush out, but rather gushed out in a fan shape driven by blood pressure! The pungent, suffocating stench of blood instantly filled Hachiman's mouth and nose and the entire space!
Half of his body, along with his tattered clothes, was instantly stained a glaring, sticky crimson! The cold ground beneath his feet was rapidly soaked and spread by the warm, life-giving fluid. Excruciating pain!

This goes beyond ordinary pain; it's like a red-hot steel rod being violently stabbed deep into a wound and then violently stirred!
The excruciating pain, enough to instantly destroy one's mind, transformed into a violent electric current, surging up along every nerve fiber and fiercely burning his fragile central nervous system!

Suddenly, his vision was filled with boundless darkness and the frantically exploding Venus. The intense dizziness was like the gaping maw of an abyss swallowing him up. All he could hear was the roar of blood rushing through his veins and the desperate pounding of his heart in his chest!
Cold sweat cascaded down his tattered clothes in an instant, mixing with the gushing blood. The cold, sticky, and heavy sensation enveloped him, giving him a slippery feeling as if he were falling into an abyss.

However--!
His extreme twisting and dragging of the blade, achieved at the cost of his flesh and blood, pried open a gap under the Grim Reaper's scythe!
clang!
Just as the bone blade was about to tear through the muscle and penetrate the abdominal cavity to cause irreversible damage, the thick and solid spine of the longsword that he had dragged down with the momentum struck the middle and rear of the bone blade that was thrusting from the side with immense force, like the last weight on the scales of fate!

The impact sound was dull yet extremely penetrating!

Although the hasty force could not completely deflect this premeditated and insidious stab, this heavy and precise strike was like applying a powerful lateral force to the side of a high-speed bullet!
The bone blade, which was originally poised precisely at the kidneys and spine in a fatal trajectory, was decisively deflected!

The central thrust, which was originally enough to pierce through the body and end the battle instantly, was transformed into a gruesome and terrifying tearing wound that miraculously avoided major organs, blood vessels, and spinal nerves due to the interference of the longsword and the combined effect of Hachiman's extreme twisting.

respite!

This is a blood-stained moment, painstakingly carved out from the fingers of death with fresh blood, torn muscle, and a nearly broken lumbar vertebra!
The excruciating pain in my lower back and abdomen was like a bone-deep wound; every breath pulled at the chapped wound, bringing a suffocating tearing sensation.

The strong smell of blood rushed into his lungs with each breath, making him want to vomit, but the excruciating pain held him back from swallowing.

Cold sweat mixed with blood streamed down his twitching face and neck, blurring his vision, which was congested with pain.

His body trembled uncontrollably from blood loss and nerve shock, as if his strength was rapidly draining away from that huge wound.

However, the two clusters of burning ice flames in Hachiman's eyes were not dimmed by the terrible wounds; on the contrary, they seemed to be completely ignited and irrigated by his own scalding blood!
The excruciating pain became the most violent fuel, igniting the almost obsessive, insane fighting spirit within him, born of his desire to protect, to its boiling point!

The icy flames were no longer anger, but hellfire tempered on the edge of life and death, a mixture of boundless pain and indomitable will!

It is hot enough to burn away fear, and cold enough to freeze death!
