Chapter 2440 When I Get Angry, I'll Even Cut Myself!
Song Shuhang felt that his ability to remain composed was wearing thin. Due to an awkward situation, his Half Body No. 2 was practically racing back to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.
"My physical composure may be sufficient, but my mental resilience still needs some cultivation," he thought to himself.
Senior White's Disposable Flying Sword: Small Black Room-Breaking Edition emitted a dazzling rainbow-colored light.
Song Shuhang's Half Body No. 2 had successfully returned.
Upon seeing the seamless return of his half, Song Shuhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The virtuous lamia temporarily halted her efforts to slice through the tribulation clouds. The clouds had already been riddled with holes, and it would take some time for them to reassemble before she could continue sculpting the desired shapes from them.
Although the tribulation cloud was vast, it contained a significant amount of water. After being compressed and sealed by Fairy @#%×, the once expansive tribulation cloud now was the size of a round table.
"By the way, Senior Chu, when I encountered half of my body, I suddenly had an idea," Song Shuhang transformed both halves of his body into an ethereal smoke form and prepared to merge them.
"What idea is that?" Pavilion Master Chu asked casually.
Song Shuhang replied, "Senior Chu, if your main body recovers a bit more and you feel like venturing out into the Inner World, I can detach my Half Body No. 2 and lend it to you for a stroll. After all, staying cooped up in the Inner World for too long might get tiresome."
"Thank you, but I don't need it," Pavilion Master Chu responded nonchalantly. Borrowing Song Shuhang's Half Body No. 2 was out of the question.
However, perhaps the tail of the virtuous lamia could be considered!
If she could occasionally venture outside, wouldn't it be delightful to employ the virtuous lamia's tail for a stroll?
Fairy @#%× regarded Pavilion Master Chu with suspicion.
...
...
"Fusion!" Song Shuhang softly commanded.
He guided the two halves of his body to merge them.
At that moment, a bloody light suddenly emanated from Half Body No. 2.
The blood-red light carried a seven-colored treasure glow and some minuscule specks of light, swiftly returning to Song Shuhang's Half Body No. 1—it was the Scholarly Sage's blood!
It had abruptly taken the vital components of Song Shuhang's Half Body No. 2 and fled to return them to Song Shuhang's Half Body No. 1.
Song Shuhang was taken aback.
He immediately applied the brakes and halted the merging of the two halves of the ethereal smoke body.
The actions of the Scholarly Sage's blood served as a warning!
It was highly likely that his Half Body No. 2 had encountered an issue.
"Cancel the fusion, dispel the pseudo-immortal smoke body!" Song Shuhang's thoughts raced.
The two halves of his body shed their ethereal state and descended to the ground.
"What's the matter?" Pavilion Master Chu asked as she regained her composure.
"When I was preparing to merge with Half Body No. 2, the Scholarly Sage's blood, my last resort, returned along with the organs safeguarded by Half Body No. 2. I suspect that Half Body No. 2 may have a hidden problem; otherwise, the Scholarly Sage's blood wouldn't have taken such action," Song Shuhang asserted with deep concern.
The blood of a Saint didn't act without reason.
"Before your Half Body No. 2 returned, did you allow my main body to examine it?" Pavilion Master Chu inquired.
"Yes, I did. I even had Senior Turtle inspect it. However, neither Senior Chu nor Senior Turtle detected anything amiss," Song Shuhang observed his body closely.
"In other words, it might have the ability to elude detection by my main body and Fellow Daoist Turtle. Your Half Body No. 2 went for a walk. Whom did it possibly offend this time?" Pavilion Master Chu reprimanded Song Shuhang with a sharp knock to his head.
If it could evade her main body's detection, it implied that the opposing party was at least on par with her in terms of cultivation, thus enabling counter-reconnaissance.
"I don't know, I'm clueless!" Song Shuhang was equally puzzled.
Half Body No. 2 hadn't been absent for long. It was only approximately four hours.
Who knew what it had experienced during this short span?
...
...
Subsequently, in the serene and peculiar Heavenly Tribulation Realm, Song Shuhang's upper and lower halves faced each other.
"It appears to be fine. There's no other energy mingled with your Half Body No. 2," Pavilion Master Chu stated thoughtfully. She didn't possess energy in her hair, so she relied on her 'sight' to assess the situation.
"And I still maintain control over Half Body No. 2... I didn't perceive anything unusual," Song Shuhang stated.
However, this was what made the situation even more alarming.
"Why don't we sever it?" Pavilion Master Chu recommended casually, "After all, the vital components of Half Body No. 2 have already been retrieved by your Scholarly Sage's blood. As for the remaining portion of Half Body No. 2, you can employ the Superclass of the Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique and Cheng Lin's Self-Healing Technique to regenerate it."
The tool spirit fairy on the glove lifted her finger in approval.
The virtuous lamia, situated behind Song Shuhang, stood ready as well.
Song Shuhang clenched his teeth and steeled his resolve.
Half Body No. 2 had proven to be extremely enigmatic. With the Scholarly Sage's blood serving as a reminder, Song Shuhang was unwilling to merge with it once more.
Moreover, Pavilion Master Chu's suggestion was logical. Given that the vital elements of Half Body No. 2 had been reclaimed by the saint's blood... As for the remaining portion, it could, at the very least, be regenerated!
Wasn't the reason for mastering the Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique so that he could confront a situation like this?
"Stay still and don't move!" Song Shuhang ordered Half Body No. 2.
Behind him, the skeletal giant, virtuous lamia, flat imperial hat, and the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure, condensed into the form of the Armed Empress and waited.
Senior White Two's Holy Sword of the End emitted a menacing aura of destruction.
"Cut!" Song Shuhang gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and issued the ruthless command.
Even though he was divided into two halves, Half Body No. 2 was still his own body. It was akin to wielding a giant blade to slash at his own thigh.
Song Shuhang never imagined that he would find himself in such a predicament—having to eliminate a portion of himself.
This blow was bound?to be excruciating!
"You troublesome bug, even squishing you feels a bit tricky!" the virtuous lamia remarked, her words oddly fitting the situation.
On the Holy Sword of the End, a tremendous sword energy was unleashed.
Boom!
A colossal sword light erupted, and a thousand-meter-long sword qi manifested in the virtuous lamia's hand!
The sword qi cleaved through the sky and the earth.
Beneath this formidable sword qi, Song Shuhang's Half Body No. 2 appeared as insignificant as an insect.
In the following instant, Song Shuhang experienced the agony of his Half Body No. 2 being gradually eroded.
However, thanks to his cultivation of the Three Great Body Tempering Techniques, Half Body No. 2 possessed remarkable resilience. Under the onslaught of the formidable sword qi, it didn't shatter immediately, but was gradually worn away.
Song Shuhang finally comprehended the sensation of someone attempting to kill him—a body so robust that it couldn't be severed, presenting a quandary for his adversary.
Just as Song Shuhang's Half Body No. 2 was slowly diminishing, the entity concealed within it could no longer remain idle.
It had never encountered an individual as ruthless as Song Shuhang, who was willing to eliminate half of his own body. Such unyielding ruthlessness was three times fiercer than that of the most ruthless individuals.
If it didn't emerge soon, Half Body No. 2 would be utterly annihilated and spell its own demise as well.
With a piercing buzz, a pitiful droplet of liquid metal oozed out from Half Body No. 2.
