Cyber Ghosts

Chapter 181 The Challenge of Parasitism
He did not know that after all these days, Hao Ning was not only skilled in the use of unseen power, but also good at ranged attack kung fu skills such as the six-pulse Excalibur, wuxiang-zhi, and so on. The six-pulse Excalibur was such a powerful kung fu skill. At that time, Murong Fu’s family enjoyed a wealth of martial arts and good weapons. But whether how good the sword was, it would be smashed by one attack of the six-pulse Excalibur.

“Don’t hurry,” Hao Ning knew that Xiao Hong was not happy, but the situation was urgent, and he had no time to pay more attention to this. Hao Ning thought for a while and then talked to Xiao Hong. “I just think that if what Liu Shuai said is right, this kind of parasitic worm does spread by letting the bird eat the snail. Now Doctor Xue controls this Pixiu but does not attack us. Maybe he wants you to attack him and then parasitizes you? If you just used Flame Spear attacked it, I am worried that you would be parasitized!”

“Parasitic? Will I a god be parasitized by this kind of thing?” Xiao Hong stunned. He had never heard such a statement. Although he disagreed with Hao Ning’s thoughts, he admitted that Hao Ning was good for him. “Thank you, Brother Hao Ning. If so, it’s also easy. I will throw the Flame Spear out and don’t touch it.” Regardless of the fact that Hao Ning was still thinking, Xiao Hong shook his hand and threw another Flame Spear out. For Xiao Hong’s extraordinary martial arts, this Flame Spear’s head directly went into the blue light of the head of Pixiu, and its body was only half left. Pixiu hit by this spear rolled on the ground, as if it had been suffering from constant pain.

“Ha ha ha, you the monster,” Xiao Hong saw one hit got scored, so he happily applauded and laughed, “turned out to be so vulnerable!”

“Xiao Hong!” Hao Ning looked clearly in the air, and he screamed in a hurry. “Your hand! Use the Samadhi True Fire!”

“Ah?” Xiao Hong did not finish laughing, but suddenly found that the Flame Spear that had entered the Pixiu’s head had become blue. No! It was not that the Flame Spear turned blue, but the blue spread to the end of the spear along with the Flame Spear handle. The blue wrapped the fire red, so it seemed to become blue when he looked far away. Xiao Hong couldn’t help but be shocked. He looked at his own hands, only to find that the fingertips actually appeared blue!

“Ah!” Xiao Hong immediately quitted a few tens of meters backwards and used the Samadhi True Fire to clean up the blues on his hands. He rubbed his hands together and was about to scream. Who knew that this fire was just finished, and the blue on his hands appeared again? Xiao Hong quickly used Samadhi True Fire again. But this time the blue on his fingertips actually could not be burned by the Samadhi True Fire, and even was quite expanding!

“What, what’s going on!” Xiao Hong was shocked. He could feel that the blue part of his hands had lost consciousness, as if it had not been his own body.

“Ha ha ha ha!” The small blue man on the back of Pixiu began to laugh. His voice was miserable and cold, and it seemed that the cold could blow out the real fire of Xiao Hong. “Your friend is really someone who knows the goods! He can find out the key point of my Parasitism Trick!”

“Parasitism Trick?” While bearing the numb blue part on his hands, Hong Hai’er said hardly, “What is this magic!”

“Your friend has already said it very clearly!” Said the little blue man. “Whether how great the power do you have, if you are parasitized by me, you can’t escape. And then, won’t I be you? Hahaha, it is really unexpected. Today I will encounter the Innate Fire Spirit. Although the Samadhi True Fire is difficult to deal with, you can resist it at will, and only for a moment, there will no longer be the Innate Fire Spirit. You will be replaced by‒me, hahaha!”

“What are you talking about!” Xiao Hong put his hands behind his back and said. “The Flame Spear that I inserted on you will soon disappear for the lack of power. I will see how you can parasitize then!”

“You the kid are really dull!” The little blue man whispered softly. “How can you know the power of my own original biomimetic tricks, Parasitism Trick? Do you think that I parasitize through your power? You did belittle me the great doctor!”

“Do you parasitize through the cause and effect?” Hao Ning said suddenly, “So even being so far away, you can still parasitize!”

“Who are you?” The little blue man heard Hao Ning said, “the cause and effect” and immediately became serious. “How do you know?”

“By cheating, hey,” Hao Ning immediately changed his expression. He smiled and pointed at the air. With the Soul Cutter circling in the air, a faint blue line gradually appeared in the air. In a twinkling, when the blue line appeared, Hao Ning immediately put his thumb outwards, and a fierce Qi of sword sent out, cutting off the line. When this line was broken, the blue light on Xiao Hong’s hands no longer increased. Although the blue part was still numb, Xiao Hong felt much better than just now.

Xiao Hong immediately raised his hands before his chest. After seeing the situation, he was shocked. Both his palms and forearms turned blue. Although the blue no longer expanded, his forearms had already lost consciousness. “This, Brother Hao Ning, I‒”

“Hush!” Hao Ning had already sat down on the ground and closed his eyes at this time. Xiao Hong felt strange but found that Hao Ning’s thumbs gradually turned blue!

“Ah, Brother Hao Ning, why would you be the same?” Xiao Hong screamed out and had no time to take care of his own forearms. “Did you sacrifice yourself to save me?”

“Ha ha ha ha,” the blue light man continued to laugh wildly. “It should be the fact that Iron Crutch Li has thousands of wonderful drugs in his bottle gourd, but he can’t cure his own lame leg! You already know that my Parasitism Trick is parasitizing through the cause and effect. You broke the cause and effect between him and me, and then, naturally, this cause and effect will be borne by you. Unfortunately, I am still envious of the body of Innate Fire Spirit. But you are so smart, and your body will also be useful. I will parasitize you first!”

While his saying, the blue light on Hao Ning’s thumbs became stronger, and his whole arms had turned blue in a short time. This blue quickly spread from the arms to the whole body. Xiao Hong quickly restored the real body, and then looked at Hao Ning who sat on the ground with the eyes closed. There was only the head still being the normal color among his whole body. Xiao Hong suddenly dropped on his knees on the ground and cried:

“Brother Hao Ning! It is me that hurt you. How can I be such a thing!” Xiao Hong cried out of breath. While crying he slapped his face, “If it were not my bravado, how would I have been tricked? If you did not try to save me, how would you suffer from this? I am a god, but I should need you to sacrifice yourself to save me. Hao Ning, I am sorry for you. If I knew that you would die young today, I would have been a woman in the morning, at least leaving a baby for your family!”

“Hey, how can this be!” Liu Shuai was wiping his tears when hearing the last sentence of Xiao Hong. He felt a bit strange, and quickly asked Zhou Yuan, “What does his last sentence mean?”

“Xiao Hong‒he means,” It was also unexpected for Zhou Yuan to get such a change and he could not help but wipe tears. “He should turn into a woman and make love with Hao Ning after he was beaten by Hao Ning this morning, to give Hao Ning a child. So even when Hao Ning is dead, his family will still have successors.”

“…” Liu Shuai finished his tears and showed a strange expression. “It’s such a sincere feeling, but why am I not touched at all? Not only am I not moved, but even feeling a bit‒”

“Strange?” Zhou Yuan tempted to ask and found Liu Shuai nodded. The two people got goose bumps and could not help but tremble. With such an emotional change, how could they have tears then?

“Isn’t that the gods are unable to be with mortals?” Suddenly the sound of Hao Ning came out in the center of the field. Xiao Hong opened his eyes and had a look. Hao Ning was staring at him, and said helplessly, “I don’t have feelings for you. Let’s still be the good brothers‒Even if you become a woman, we are still good brothers!”

“OK, I know. Let’s be good brothers.” Seeing that Hao Ning opened his eyes and his body was still blue, Xiao Hong nodded the head. “Brother Hao Ning, I know that you are the last radiance of the setting sun. Rest assured, and I will surely ask Brother Zhang to find a way to gather the soul for you. Believe me. We can still be the brothers after your 10 thousand years of reincarnation! You can go with peace of mind!”

“Hey! You are going to reincarnate. Your family is going to reincarnate!” Hao Ning spat at Xiao Hong. He was even amused and yelled at Xiao Hong: “I haven’t died yet. Cry what? Moreover‒”Hao Ning stared at the blue light man, “Who wants to reincarnate for 10 thousand years? As a great man once said, 10 thousand years is too long, and let us just fight for the day!”

After he said, the blue on Hao Ning’s body was all gone, not fading but being disappeared, as if there had been no blue at all just now.

“You, how did it happen!” It was obvious that the blue light man also saw the abnormal situation of Hao Ning. “Why did my Parasitism Trick not work‒No, it is not that it did not work, but, but it missed!”

“Oh, yes, you are worthy to be taught.” After the blue light on Hao Ning disappeared, he stood on hot wheels flew again. Hao Ning flew to the front of the Pixiu, holding both hands before his chest, and suddenly felt something missing when he looked around. When he looked down, he found that Xiao Hong looked at him as if he had been a ghost. He smiled and said: “What are you doing? Get bigger hurriedly. It looks not good enough for me one person to stand here. I need you like the background to keep aggressive!”

“Ah? Oh…” Xiao Hong saw that Hao Ning was really fine, and then he immediately smiled and wiped his tears with his paralyzed arm. He was soon turned into the three-headed and six-armed giant Great Saint Infant King. This time, Xiao Hong smiled and shook his head at Hao Ning. “Brother Hao Ning, sit here. It is comfortable.”

“Well!” Hao Ning did not decline and just sat on one of the heads of Xiao Hong. After he sat down, Xiao Hong wrinkled his nose and smiled with slight embarrassment, “Brother Hao Ning, your personal hygiene seems not to be better than me…”

“Less nonsense!” Hao Ning’s face turned red. During these two days, he was too tired and did not even take a bath. He quickly jumped down from Xiao Hong’s head and patted his pants, standing on the hot wheels, “Can you let your Flame Spear not burn me?”

“Well?” Although Xiao Hong did not understand, he still used his head to touch the top of Hao Ning’s skull, “Finished. The Flame Spear is linked with my heart and it will not hurt you now.”

“Good!” Hao Ning immediately flew to the front of Pixiu and pulled the blue Flame Spear down!

“Oh? Hahaha,” As the blue light man saw that Hao Ning was so bold, he went blank for a while and then laughed wildly. “You can’t blame me for looking for death yourself!”

As soon as his voice finished, Hao Ning’s hand holding the blue Flame Spear turned blue again.

“Brother Hao Ning! Quickly let it go!” Xiao Hong saw Hao Ning was going to turn blue again, and he immediately yelled, “Don’t be trapped by him again!”

Hao Ning looked at Xiao Hong and shook his head. Before he talked, the blue light man had already screamed. “No, what is going on! Why is my Parasitism Trick missing? No, it is not missing. It is absorbed by you!”

“You got it!” Hao Ning smiled and held the Flame Spear. At this time, the Flame Spear was no longer blue at all and it was a fiery red spear again. Hao Ning smiled and flew to the top of the blue light man and used the spear to smash him. The blue light man screamed as if he had been burned, and from his body actually appeared a cloud of light smoke.

“Ah, what’s going on!” The blue light man screamed. “What the hell are you!”

“Shut up. Don’t swear during the fight!” Hao Ning took the Flame Spear and knocked on the head of the light man. The light man got pain and immediately drove Pixiu staying away.

“Brother Hao Ning, what is going on?” Xiao Hong now had known that Hao Ning was not afraid of this Parasitism Trick, but he thought for a long time and did not understand the reason, “Why are you not afraid?”

“Do you know that among the martial arts in the world, each kung fu skill has its specific inner strength?” Hao Ning did not answer Xiao Hong’s question but asked an irrelevant question, “And only when you use the specific inner strength to motivate the kung fu skill, it can work well?”

“Um, I am not very clear.” Xiao Hong’s kung fu skill was a kind of martial arts without other magical effects‒In other words, Xiao Hong himself was a god, and naturally, there was no need for him to use martial arts to obtain magical effects. What he needed was to pursue speed and power. And the martial arts mentioned by Hao Ning referred to the kung fu skill in the Wuxia Novels, while was Xiao Hong the one who would read Wuxia Novels? Thinking of it, Xiao Hong couldn’t help but be curious. “What is inner strength?”

“Well…This inner strength is like your power.” Hao Ning grabbed his hair and could only explain it in this way. “But you remember. Every kind of kung fu skill has its own inner strength to drive. If you change the inner strength to use the kung fu skill, there will be big problems.”

“Ha‒sleepy,” Liu Shuai turning off the voice box, yawned, and then said to Zhou Yuan, “I will sleep for a while. When Hao Ning finishes speaking, you call me up.”

“What happened to you?” Zhou Yuan looked at them nervously. Seeing Liu Shuai’s performance, he felt strange and asked, “This is not finished yet!”

“Don’t you find it? Hao Ning has taken control of the whole situation.” Liu Shuai rubbed his eyes, with his head squatting on the voice box, and he said with his eyes closed. “Now it is time for Teacher Hao Ning to have a class. If you want to listen, just listen. Anyway, I have to take a break. I was so busy last night.”

Hao Ning did not know that Liu Shuai acted so, and he still explained happily. “But there is such a kind of kung fu skill, being able to absorb other people’s inner strength and use it for their own purposes. But there is a problem. Others’ martial arts are different. After you absorb the inner strength, if you use it directly without digestion, your body will have a big problem.”

“It turns out!” Xiao Hong nodded. He was the god of martial arts after all and passed it all at once. But nobody knew why the blue little man on the Pixiu did not attack and did not say any word now.

“So, someone has practiced a half-handed kung fu skill,” Hao Ning did not look at the blue little man but knew that he was also listening. “It’s called Solutions to Kung Fu. When using the palms to attack, this person will put poison on the palms, and if others use the inner strength to fight against this person, the poison will destroy their inner strength. And if they do not use inner strength, this poison will flow into their own body along the veins. If you face this kind of kung fu skill, it can be said that whether you use the inner strength or not, your inner strength will be consumed by the other side. You have just seen this kind of kung fu skill.”

“Ah?” Xiao Hong understood now, and when he thought of what he had just seen, he suddenly realized, “Is it the kung fu skill appeared just now when you fought against the Doctor Xue?”

“Yes, the kung fu skill he used is just the Solutions to Kung Fu,” Seeing Xiao Hong reacted so quickly, Hao Ning nodded with a smile. “But he seems to be not smart enough, and his understanding is worse than his predecessors. He remembered that he needed to use the poison just after fighting against me with the palms, so he took out the poison from his pocket. But unfortunately‒”

“Unfortunately what?” Xiao Hong asked. “Is there anything wrong?”

“Nothing is wrong,” Hao Ning shook his head. “The disadvantage of this kind of kung fu skill is that if the inner strength of the person who fights against him is more than ten times higher than that of his own, the inner strength will be violent, and the person who uses the Solutions to Kung Fu will inevitably be in danger.”

While Hao Ning spoke of this, Xiao Hong understood. He tentatively asked: “Brother Hao Ning, your inner strength is so powerful!”

“Ha ha ha, you flatter me,” Hao Ning waved his hand and glanced at the blue light man. “It is not that our army is so strong, but the enemy is really too weak. As to a doctor with a bad mind, how much inner strength can he have?”

Hao Ning did not tell the truth. While he fought with people these days, no one knew how much his Dantian had been expanded. Would his inner strength be limited to be over ten times higher than that of the Doctor Xue? But in other words, this was also the reason why Doctor Xue’s inner strength was insufficient. Otherwise, if the other side changed, Hao Ning’s inner strength would still be stronger than his or hers, but it would be somewhat reluctant to boast that “over ten times”.

“Then the Parasitism Trick?” Xiao Hong saw that the previous question had been answered and he asked another key point.

“Isn’t that simple?” Hao Ning continued to look at the blue light little man indifferently, and the blue man trembled with fear. “What is the essence of his Parasitism Trick?”

“Is‒the cause and effect? No. Is it power? Or the inner strength?” Xiao Hong guessed.

“Well, your guessing is very accurate,” Hao Ning nodded. “Doctor Xue’s practice is somewhat peculiar, but in the end, Doctor Xue’s kung fu skill is also an inner strength. Because of this, he can have such a talent to create this abnormal Parasitism Trick, but since he is a doctor, it is not surprising for him to learn from biological creatures through bionics.”

Speaking of this, Hao Ning secretly admired Liu Shuai’s vision. The knowledge basis of this bio-professional programmer was really solid. He could guess out what kind of creature Doctor Xue had imitated according to a glance. If it had not been that Liu Shuai had found out Doctor Xue’s ability, he would also have had difficulties in thinking of how to deal with it in a short time.

“Then why could Big Brother you deal with him?” Xiao Hong had been playing, but the more he listened, the more he became fascinated, and he actually asked, “And why couldn’t I do it?”

“Because what you wanted is to deal with him,” Hao Ning continued, “and what I wanted is to absorb him.”

“Absorb!” Xiao Hong’s expression changed. “Isn’t that even more dangerous!”

“Don’t worry,” Hao Ning shook the fiery red Flame Spear to show that he was fine. “Do you forget? As for the kind of kung fu skill I just said, if you want to use the absorbed inner strength, you must make the other’s inner strength‒What word is better for this? Decomposed? You must decompose the other’s inner strength into what you can use. As a result, the Parasitism Trick created by the other’s inner strength, in the eyes of this kind of kung fu skill, is nothing but a new kind of inner strength. Whatever it is, you can decompose it directly!”

“Wow!” Xiao Hong couldn’t help but nod his head‒he had wanted to applaud, but he couldn’t feel his hands at all. “So great! What is this kind of kung fu skill? Can I learn it?”

“You can’t learn it,” Hao Ning said with a smile. “This kind of kung fu skill is called‒Divine Power of the North!”

“Plop!” The Pixiu suddenly fell down to the ground, and the blue light man seemed to be dejected, no longer showing the arrogance.

“Xue Muhua!” Hao Ning screamed with a serious voice. “I don’t care how you ran out of the book, what monster you are, what kind of Book Elf you used, what secret method you created, or how you intended to parasitize. But you did such evil things in the world, poisoning the gods, confusing people, and parasitizing holy animals. It is really difficult for heaven and earth to forgive you. Today, on behalf of the people, the court, and the communist successors, I will send you into hell!”
