Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

But every move Huai Tianpei makes has countless follow-up moves, and every attack is a true all-out effort.

That was the ultimate martial arts performance that Lin Yuxia had never seen in her life!

"Hahaha! So happy!"

After exchanging dozens of blows in the blink of an eye, Huai Tianpei laughed loudly, abandoning all his so-called moves, and gathered all his strength to unleash a simple, unadorned straight punch.

The two fists collided in mid-air with perfect precision, producing a muffled thud.

Lin Yuxia felt her eardrums vibrate, and she had to cover her ears and back away.

But there was another figure who was even faster than her.

Huai Tianpei flew backwards, passing Lin Yuxia's steps and crashing heavily into the debris on the side of the street.

"Hey, are you alright?!"

Lin Yuxia was shocked and rushed over to rescue Huai Tianpei from the clutter.

"Cough cough, thanks." Huai Tianpei grinned and said, "This thing is something else. When I threw a punch, I felt like it hit me all the way in."

Lin Yuxia turned her head and glanced at Jing, who remained calm and composed, seemingly unharmed. Her expression turned somewhat grim.

“This can’t go on,” she said to Huai Tianpei in a deep voice. “The enemy is a behemoth, and a mimicry-type authority at that. No matter how hard we try, we can’t defeat ourselves. We have to think of a way…”

"Little girl, if you're scared, then get out of the way."

Huai Tianpei couldn't stand these words and pushed Lin Yuxia away, saying, "You're saying we can't defeat ourselves?"

"Why are you being so stubborn about this kind of thing!" Lin Yuxia was getting a little angry.

Huai Tianpei couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "I see you have some martial arts skills too. Tell me, where did you get these skills from?"

Lin Yuxia, not understanding why, subconsciously answered:

“It was taught to me by my father.”

"It seems your father is also a master," Huai Tianpei sincerely praised, then continued, "So you're destined to be weaker than your father?"

Lin Yuxia was stunned, but quickly recovered and shook her head, saying, "That's nonsense. Even if I can surpass my father in the future, it won't be something I can do overnight."

"You're right."

Huai Tianpei stretched his slightly sore arms and walked step by step toward another version of himself.

His voice was still deafeningly loud: "I, Huai Tianpei, have practiced martial arts for over forty years and have never seen a high mountain. Apart from suffering a loss at the hands of that kid Qi, I have never been defeated!"

I studied under several famous teachers, but each time after a period of study, they would wave their hands and say that there was nothing more to teach me. From then on, I made up my mind that I would practice my own martial arts!

I want to make my punches heavier, my steps faster, and my eyesight more accurate!

He struck a pose again, staring intently at his alter ego, but then boldly addressed Lin Yuxia behind him:

“Little girl, it will take you time to surpass your father, and I won’t say anything to you. It took me a year and a half to surpass my masters back then.”

But now we are facing ourselves. There's only one thing we need to do: surpass ourselves. And in that case, with each punch you throw, you've already surpassed yourself!

After saying that, Huai Tianpei shot out.

Under Lin Yuxia's shocked gaze, she could clearly feel that after each punch Huai Tianpei threw, the speed and force of his next punch were both faster and more ruthless.

Even though Jing's punches were getting faster, and even though Huai Tianpei would get one or two more injuries with each punch, the joy on Huai Tianpei's face grew stronger.

"Come again!!"

“Come again!!!”

Huai Tianpei's punches grew faster and faster, and he sustained more and more injuries, but his steps continued to move forward.

Jing, his rival, possesses an almost cheat-like ability to imitate, yet he always finds himself half a step behind Huai Tianpei.

In the end, amidst Huai Tianpei's maniacal laughter, Jing's defensive stance was distorted by Huai Tianpei's punch, which landed squarely on Jing's face without any hesitation.

Jing's body flew backward, crashing heavily into the debris on the street, just like Huai Tianpei had done before.

Huai Tianpei swayed twice, but his feet remained firmly planted on the ground as if rooted to the spot.

His maniacal laughter echoed in the mirror's world.

"Too weak! My last punch was far too weak! Giant beast, you are just as weak!"

"How can it be……"

Jing struggled to her feet from the clutter, glanced at the figure standing proudly on the street, and felt her thoughts come to a standstill.

He couldn't understand why that mortal, who was already in a sorry state and whose mouth and nose were oozing blood, could grow faster than he could imitate.

"it's not finished yet!"

Huai Tianpei suddenly shouted, startling Jing so much that her body trembled uncontrollably.

“I have defeated my previous self with the last punch, but I can continue. Giant beast, you still have more!” Huai Tianpei shouted, pointing at the mirror. “There are so many puppets in your world. You must have imitated countless masters.”

"Come on, let's combine all their moves into one, and then we'll fight again!"

Chapter 909 Mirror: You've angered me! Qi Yan: Yes, you've angered me.

Faced with Huai Tianpei's provocation, Jing was somewhat stunned.

It wasn't an emotion of shock, but rather a feeling that He believed He should respond with anger at such a moment.

However, neither of the two people in front of me showed any emotion called anger.

After a long pause, just as Huai Tianpei was getting impatient, Jing finally revealed an incongruous expression of anger.

"You have angered me." Jing stood up and waited for the two people in front of her.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's fight!"

Huai Tianpei rushed forward and threw a punch.

The human and the god clashed again, but Jing was quickly defeated once more and was sent flying for the second time.

Huai Tianpei stood there with a furrowed brow: "Something's not right. This is still my own skill. Why won't you show me the skills of other masters?"

Jing got up, thought for a moment, and waved to summon the surrounding puppets to attack Huai Tianpei.

However, these puppets could barely withstand a single punch from Huai Tianpei, and were quickly wiped out. After that, Huai Tianpei broke through the encirclement and fought Jing again.

"What I want is not a siege, but superior martial arts!" Huai Tianpei roared, and punched Jing in the chest again.

After staggering back more than ten steps to regain his balance, Jingmian's expression became even more blank, like a program that kept reporting errors, pausing as he assumed another starting stance.

Huai Tianpei rushed forward and fought with Jing for a while, then defeated him with even greater ease.

Jing stood up again, seemingly unharmed, and continued to assume the starting stances of other kung fu styles.

Then history repeated itself.

After defeating Jing several times in a row, Huai Tianpei's face lost its initial joy and pleasure; instead, his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"Something's not right, something's not right, this shouldn't be happening!"

Huai Tianpei roared, "Are you an idiot? Why do you always just bring up one martial art? Can't you combine them into your own style?"

As he spoke, Huai Tianpei displayed his skills, combining the martial arts techniques that Jing had just demonstrated into his own style, and rushed forward to give Jing a brutal beating.

"anger……"

After being beaten up, Jing finally managed to capture the emotions she wanted from Huai Tianpei.

He suddenly unleashed a power beyond that of ordinary people, punching Huai Tianpei until he vomited blood and flew backward.

Lin Yuxia leaped up and caught the seriously injured Huai Tianpei, then immediately looked warily at Jing, who had stood up again.

She could clearly sense the anger emanating from Jing, and she could also feel the terrifying power of a behemoth that Jing was unleashing without reservation.

You've angered me!

Jing stretched out his palm and grasped Lin Yuxia and the other person in a loose grasping motion. The mirror's surface cracked in countless ways, attacking the two people from all directions.

Lin Yuxia could clearly feel that this world belonging to the mirror was putting pressure on her and Huai Tianpei, wanting to crush them into a pile of rubble.

Sensing the imminent threat of death, Lin Yuxia broke out in a fine sweat.

"We have to think of a way. Should we call him? But that would play right into his hands. What if it has a negative impact on him?"

A sense of despair welled up in Lin Yuxia's heart.

She didn't want Qi Yan to have any accidents because of her, but facing an enemy who was not even on the same level, she was completely powerless to fight against him on her own.

Just as the crack in the mirror was about to touch her and Huai Tianpei, Lin Yuxia took a deep breath and made up her mind.

She desperately threw the heavily injured Huai Tianpei out through the cracks in the mirror.

This was the last thing she could do; at least she couldn't let her companion fall before her. As for whether Huai Tianpei had any chance of survival, that was no longer something she could consider.

Looking at the black cracks that had already reached the tips of her hair, Lin Yuxia resignedly closed her eyes.

Let him die if he wants, at least don't let Qi Yan get involved.

I believe he will avenge me in the future.

After closing her eyes, darkness engulfed Lin Yuxia, and the breath of death gently licked her face, causing Lin Yuxia's heart to contract violently and ache slightly.

"mirror!!!"

Before the agony of death struck, Lin Yuxia heard a strange roar from the darkness, filled with deep-seated hatred.

The next second, a deafening roar like the sky collapsing and the sound of the mirror shattering into pieces, a chill that could freeze the soul, and a violent feeling of weightlessness all mixed together and engulfed Lin Yuxia.

Lin Yuxia opened her eyes in astonishment.

She saw a white wolf descend from the sky, its snow-white claws stomping heavily on Jing, and its golden wolf eyes burning with a flame of rage.

An indescribable chill of terror erupted, frantically drilling into Jing's body, the agonizing torment causing Jing to let out inhuman screams.

The chill emanating solely from the mirror's body instantly froze the street.

Lin Yuxia was suspended in mid-air when she uncontrollably plummeted towards the frozen street.

Just as she was about to hit the ground, a strong arm caught her.

"Are you mute, little girl?"

Qi Yan held Lin Yuxia's soft waist with one hand, glanced at Huai Tianpei who was also falling beside him, and then ignored the big tiger, continuing to look at Lin Yuxia in his arms.

He couldn't help but scold her with a hint of anger: "You dare to fight silently when you encounter a giant beast? Are the monsters and demons on Rhodes Island so friendly that you've lost sight of yourself?"

The two landed lightly on the frozen street. Huai Tianpei fell down beside them, bounced twice on the ground, and spat out another mouthful of blood. Using the stickiness of the frozen blood, they successfully stuck themselves firmly to the ice.

Huai Tianpei: "..."

Lin Yuxia: "..."

Qi Yan raised an eyebrow: "What? You're really mute?"

As she gradually came to her senses, Lin Yuxia, who suddenly realized that she had escaped from the brink of death, felt a little like crying.

Her voice choked with emotion, and she said with some grievance, "That giant beast is after you and Qi Lin, and I'm afraid it will affect you."

Qi Yan paused for a moment, then smiled gently, put Lin Yuxia down, and reached out to rub her fluffy ears.

"You're usually so smart, how could you do something so stupid at a time like this?"

Qi Yan reassured, "It's just a giant beast. I'll stick my head out in front of it and let it chop it off. If it can even hurt a single hair on my head, I'll consider it a loss."

Lin Yuxia burst into laughter through her tears: "Who knew you'd be so amazing now?"

"There's something even more amazing, let me show you."

Qi Yan gave Lin Yuxia's big ears a final rub, then turned and walked toward the mirror that Qi had stepped on.

The moment he turned his back to Lin Yuxia, all the smiles on his face vanished, his eyes became calm as still water, and he walked step by step to Jing's side and squatted down.

Qi raised his wolf claws, not vying for the right to dispose of the substitute body created by the mirror.

Jing was covered in frost, and her body was covered with countless mirror-like cracks, each piece of broken skin displaying a different appearance.

These are all individuals that His body imitated.

Qi Yan reached out and picked a fragment from His body. Looking at the child in the mirror who was clearly only a few years old, he rubbed his fingers together and crushed it into dust.

"You're looking for me?" Qi Yan asked casually.

"I am Qi Yan."
