Dafeng Night Watchman

Chapter 677 - 677: Finale

Long Tu stared at his daughter with a sharp gaze, and suddenly froze, shaking his head and said:

"No, Lina herself has not mastered the secret art of the extraordinary realm."

The six elders also reacted, and they were so angry that they forgot about this.

Then, the elder seemed to remember something, slapped his head, and shouted:

"It turned out to be him!"

Seeing Long Tu and the other elders, the elder explained:

"Today, when I took Lingyin to Jiyuan for promotion, I found that the power of the Gu God in the periphery became abnormally thin. The third and fourth elders and I went deep into the situation and found that the power of the Gu God somewhere inside the forest was also thin.

"At that time, I thought that a powerful Gu beast was born..."

Speaking of this, the elder was suddenly speechless, because they hurriedly took the meat home to cook it because they were worried about the freshness of the meat, and ignored the important matter of the suspected birth of the Gu beast.

The third elder said faintly:

"When did he practice the power Gu? How did he practice to the level close to the extraordinary realm? Who taught him the secret art of practice? "

The three consecutive questions made the elders feel sour and envious.

Even Long Tu couldn't help but say:

"Rage... is only a step away from transcendence."

Only the Great Elder could use Rage for a short time, but the duration was very short.

The Great Elder murmured: "How long has he been practicing? How long has he practiced to reach this level? It won't be the same as Lingyin, right?"

It won't be the same as Lingyin, right... Including the clan leader Long Tu, everyone looked at the Great Elder as if he was a madman.

........

"As the intelligence mentioned, he really knows Gu Shu. But it was different. When he fought with Miss Yuan Shuang, the son of Ji Xuan, in Yongzhou, his Gu technique was mediocre, even worse than that of the fourth-grade one...."

Gen Wenxuan, who was holding a monocular telescope, saw this scene, and his handsome eyebrows frowned.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Xu Qiyan deliberately concealed his cultivation in Yongzhou, or whether he had made a breakthrough recently.

If it was the former, it means that this boy's mind was so deep that it was terrifying.

If it was the latter, it means that this boy's cultivation progress was so fast that it was chilling.

"If the information in Yongzhou is correct, then his progress is too fast. In this case, the information becomes meaningless."

Ge Wenxuan's eyebrows almost frowned into the shape of a "chuan" character.

A perfect trap, a proper plan, needs accurate intelligence to support it.

For someone like Xu Qiyan, it is impossible to take it slowly.

Because it will be outdated at any time.

"Carrying the fate of the country, can it really be so terrible? "

Ge Wenxuan is a martial arts master, a fifth-rank warrior and a sixth-rank sorcerer. He is stuck at the sixth rank because he does not have the confidence to survive the bad luck that a "prophet" has to bear.

As a sorcerer, he is not unfamiliar with luck. Although those with great luck have deep blessings, the effect of luck will be infinitely weakened when they reach the extraordinary realm.

This is also why strong men above the third rank are qualified to disdain the Emperor of the Central Plains.

For a first-rank, second-rank, or third-rank strong man, killing the Emperor of the Central Plains will be backfired by luck, the result of backfire.

I don't want to provoke the emperor, but I am afraid of the backfire of luck.

In In Ge Wenxuan's opinion, this is a kind of balance.

Otherwise, wouldn't those with good fortune be able to do whatever they want?

But he couldn't understand Xu Qian'an's situation.

"Is there a difference between national fortune and good fortune, or is there another reason.......

"The sorcerer system has only existed for 600 years, and before that, no system has ever been so closely related to good fortune. In 600 years, neither the first generation of supervisors nor the current supervisors have ever refined national fortune and stored it in someone's body.

"Teacher is the first to try this. In the absence of precedents, perhaps even he doesn't know what it means to have national fortune? Is this idea of ​​the teacher the result of his own hard thinking, or was it inspired by someone else? "

Ge Wenxuan's thoughts flashed, and as his mind wandered, he was watching the battle through a monocular, and his spirits lifted.

The situation in the field changed again.

........

Riding on a third-grade zombie, Xu Qiyan, who was wantonly venting violence, suddenly lost his vision, hearing, and smell... All his five senses and six consciousnesses were blinded.

The leader of the Dark Gu Tribe lurking around used the Dark Gu Tribe's high-level method on Xu Qiyan - blinding!

"Bang! "

Seizing the opportunity, You Shi manipulated the puppet to butt heads, and the two men's foreheads hit each other hard.

Under the blessing of the Star Shifting, Xu Qiyan's crisis premonition did not work, so he failed to predict the operation of the dark Gu and the attack of the zombies below.

The frontal bone of the zombie puppet cracked, and Xu Qiyan's pupils were empty in an instant, he temporarily lost his will, and his brain was blank.

He leaned back suddenly, and fine cracks appeared on the dark golden skin on his forehead.

You Shi didn't feel dizzy, how could a dead person feel dizzy?

"Take advantage of now! "

He shouted in his unique hoarse voice.

They underestimated the enemy. Although Yingzi and Chunyan did not take action, the plan assisted by Luanyu and Baji was to test the depth of this kid first.

But underestimating the enemy is underestimating the enemy. This kid is not an ordinary third-grade. He can burst out the combat power of the third-grade perfection in an instant, which directly defeated the zombie formation he controlled.

Several leaders also realized this problem. Before Youshi roared, they had already taken action.

A pale middle-aged man who seemed to have not been exposed to sunlight for many years jumped out of the shadow behind Xu Qian'an. He flexibly climbed onto the back of this Vajra body.

The extremely strong and yang flames burned his body, as if it was just burning a layer of illusory shadow, without any real object.

The high-level defense method of the Dark Gu Department - Shadow !

A slightly curved hook-shaped dagger slid out of the sleeve of "Shadow". It was pitch black and looked like jade but not jade, iron but not iron.

This was the peerless magic weapon handed down by the leaders of the Dark Gu tribe - the scorpion hook.

This weapon was specially used to break the flesh of warriors. In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, "Shadow" almost killed a Buddhist Vajra with this magic weapon and the characteristics of Dark Gu's sneak attack.

Bang!

The scorpion hook chiseled out dazzling sparks on Xu Qi'an's forehead, and the fine cracks expanded.

The pain made Xu Qi'an's eyes burst with light, and he forced himself out of the dizziness.

Chun Yan, the almond-eyed beauty who was running wildly, stopped and opened her mouth to let out a silent scream.

Xu Qi'an was struck by lightning, and his pupils, which gradually regained their focus, became empty and scattered again.

The manipulation technique of the heart Gu shook the soul and forcibly controlled Control!

This can only last for less than a second. For Tiansheng's "shadow" at this moment, this is a fleeting chance of victory.

Dangdangdang...... The scorpion hook chiseled dense sparks on the dark golden forehead.

With the sound of "Puff", the slightly curved dagger pierced Xu Qiyan's forehead, pierced into the brain, and stirred fiercely.

Seeing this scene, several leaders including You Shi's eyes lit up, as if they saw the end.

Even for Xu Qiyan now, such damage is enough to be called a heavy blow.

His brain was damaged, but his soul was completely awake.

As if she expected that he would regain consciousness in such an injury, Luan Yu happened to come in the wind, with her long gauze skirt fluttering, and she sent herself into Xu Qiyan's arms.

Her slender arms hooked around his neck, her eyes full of affection Piteously, half coquettishly and half begging:

"Don't~"

Charm!

This is an upgraded version of charm bonus, turning passive skills into active ones.

Xu Qi'an's murderous intent and anger disappeared, and he stared at the beautiful face close at hand, intoxicated.

Luan Yu raised the corner of her mouth, raised her pointed chin, held his lips, and passed the sub-gu and aphrodisiac gas into his body.

The next moment, Xu Qi'an's dark golden skin appeared a layer of bright red, and the tent in his crotch was erected high.

After achieving the goal, Luan Yu withdrew with a smile.

Puff puff puff~

Ba Ji's attack followed closely, and the purple arrow shot at Xu Qi'an's knees, chest, and face, dyeing the Vajra body with a layer of deep purple.

Chun Yan opened her mouth again, emitting a silent scream, taking advantage of Xu Qi'an's indulgence in lust to control him for the second time.

Thump, thump, thump... You Shi grabbed two bone knives and rushed towards Xu Qi'an.

At this time, Xu Qi'an's forehead was pierced, blood and brain matter flowed along the wound, the light of the diamond body was dim, and it was on the verge of collapse. The soul was controlled by the heart poison, and the blood and qi rushed to the lower body because of the strong desire, and he could not use the violent power poison.

You Shi was confident that he could kill him in one set, or at least seriously injure him.

Let him lose a lot of combat power and it will be difficult to stir up trouble.

"Hey, don't kill him."

Seeing this, Luan Yu frowned and shouted.

She hadn't tasted this perfect male physique yet. If it fell, it would be a waste of heaven's gift.

You Shi said:

"Don't worry, I can refine him into a zombie to retain 80% of his strength, and then I can control him to sleep with you."

Luan Yu spit.

As he spoke, he had already arrived in front of Xu Qi'an, crossed his two swords, and tried his best to cut the wound on his forehead.

Whoosh!

The bone knife wrapped in the twisted air energy cut Xu Qi'an and "Shadow" in half.

As if cutting the air, You Shi made a puzzled "hmm" sound, and cut a cross with his two swords, still cutting the air, and Xu Qi'an's body was like green smoke and shadow, but there was no entity.

"Shadow, what are you doing!"

You Shi blamed all this on the leader of the Dark Gu tribe.

Unexpectedly, Shadow's reaction was even more exaggerated than his. Shadow jumped to a distance like a frightened deer, looking at Xu Qi'an with eyes as if he had seen the Gu God.

"You also know the Dark Gu technique!"

Shadow's voice was low and unbelievable.

At this time, You Shi also realized that something was wrong. His face changed, and he retreated decisively, giving up the plan to pursue the victory.

He knows the Dark Gu technique...... Everyone present looked at Xu Qi'an as if they were looking at a monster.

After the power Gu, he can also use the dark Gu?

Long Tu and the six elders who were watching the battle from a distance looked at each other, speechless.

Mu Nanzhi felt relieved, leaned over and picked up Bai Ji, touching her and comforting her:

"Be good, I'll just ride you for a little while, why are you crying like this."

Bai Ji cried and said, "My waist hurts so much..."

Mu Nanzhi comforted her casually for a few words, and then kept his mind on Xu Qian'an.

The battle is not over yet, I hope he can find a way to escape...

"Impossible, this is impossible..."

Luan Yu shook her head repeatedly. In the history of the Gu clan, there were indeed many geniuses who practiced two kinds of Gu arts at the same time, but without exception, none of these people could enter the extraordinary realm.

These are not the main points. The main point is how a Central Plains person can practice the power Gu and the dark Gu, and practice to this level.

In her opinion, the absurdity is like the northern monsters pushing cannons and bed crossbows, holding military crossbows and fire guns.

"Is it the ability of a Confucian scholar?"

Chun Yan narrowed her almond eyes and asked tentatively.

The sixth rank of Confucianism - Confucian scholar!

This realm can learn the enemy's methods and then write them down on paper. The core ability of Confucian scholars is "learning".

Luan Yu shook his head: "If he is a Confucian disciple, my charm will not work at all."

After thinking fruitlessly, they turned their eyes to Xu Qiyan.

I'm so excited...Xu Qiyan poked the wound on his forehead with his finger, smiling grimly.

He had to admit that the leaders of the Gu tribe cooperated well, with surprise and strong control, and could easily kill a warrior of the third rank.

These were only five leaders. If Tian Gu Granny and Longtu were added, it would be no problem to surround and kill a second rank warrior. Of course, the premise is that the second rank warrior fought to the death.

Just now, it was the great wisdom Dharma in the pagoda that awakened his mind and made him sober.

But in fact, even if the old monk Ta Ling stood aside, Xu Qi'an also planned to use the shadow jump to escape the encirclement.

The leaders of the Gu tribe are very strong, but unfortunately the means they are proud of are difficult to work on themselves. This is the confidence of Xu Qi'an to fight five alone.

"We have to change our countermeasures."

Chun Yan took a deep breath and sent a message to her companions:

"Shadow, you can't attack when Shadow jumps or turns into a shadow, so once he jumps, you will force him out immediately. Then Luan Yu Charm cooperates with my manipulation to control him by force.

"Ba Ji, you immediately release the poison arrows and replace them with toxins that paralyze the body. Shadow, you take the opportunity to attack, just like before. You Shi, you are responsible for restraining and cooperating with Shadow to attack. "

As soon as the voice fell, she saw Xu Qi'an merge into the shadow and disappear.

"Shadow! "

Chun Yan shouted.

She didn't need to remind him. The moment Xu Qian'an merged into the shadow, the "shadow" jumped forward and disappeared.

The two illusory shadows chased and entangled on the ground, and then both fell out of the shadow.

When a warrior known for his fighting ability controls the shadow jump of the dark Gu, it is something that makes masters of any system shudder and their backs shiver just thinking about it.

And the short-distance jump of the dark Gu is so fast that it is faster than the warlock's teleportation array.

It is truly impossible to defend against and cannot be stopped.

Only the dark Gu can deal with the dark Gu.

Seeing the two people fall out of the shadow, Chun Yan immediately opened her mouth and made a silent, but extremely sharp whistle to the soul.

Luan Yu rode the wind, her gauze skirt fluttering, like a peerless enchantress, and took the initiative to greet Xu Qian'an.

She opened her arms, pretending to be a suckling swallow throwing herself into the forest, and at the same time pretending to be pitiful, with tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly:

"Don't hurt me~"

"Charm" can be said to be invincible against martial artists. She saw that the man's eyes looking at her became obsessed.

Taking this opportunity, Luan Yu successfully threw herself into this King Kong body that made her drool, and her snow-white arms hooked around his neck, and her moist red lips pressed against him.

"Hu~"

She exhaled a sweet and fragrant breath, and sent more than a dozen sub-Gu into the other's mouth.

At this time, Luan Yu heard the young man whisper:

"Are you like this to all men?"

This... Luan Yu's pupils contracted violently, and the next moment, the man exhaled into her mouth in one breath, the breath was hot and spicy, and it was very heartburning.

"Ah..."

Luan Yu covered her lower abdomen, her healthy wheat-colored face bulged with black veins, and black blood flowed out of her mouth.

The love Gu Department focuses on aphrodisiac, enchantment, and confusion of mind, and the flesh is not the strong point of the love Gu Master.

Although Xu Qi'an's poison is not as fierce as Ba Ji's, it is enough to deal with a "weak woman".

He opened his arms and gave the enchanting and charming bitch a bear hug.

Click... Luan Yu's body bones were broken instantly.

"Your breath can't arouse me, but my breath can poison you half to death!"

Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart.

Luan Yu's state stunned people inside and outside the venue. Her charm that was always effective lost its effect, and she was severely injured by Xu Qian'an with unknown means.

Black veins covered her beautiful face, and black blood oozed from her mouth and nose...

Ba Ji's face suddenly changed, and he growled:

"Poison Gu? It's poison Gu?!"

He roared several times in a row, as if only in this way could he vent his inner astonishment.

Xu Qian'an was actually a poison Gu master?

Long Tu turned his head to look at the six elders, but found that what they saw was the same as his - stunned!

A Central Plains person actually knew three kinds of Gu techniques, and they were all cultivated to a very high level.

Could it be that Wei Yuan captured the masters of the Gu tribe and extracted the secret techniques from them?

Long Tu felt that he had guessed the truth.

They in the Li Gu Department still had the leisure to be shocked and think about the source of the three kinds of Gu techniques, but the leaders in the venue did not have that leisure.

Although their inner shock was no less than that of the bystanders, they were in the game and had no time to care about other things. The first priority was to defeat the enemy.

Once again, darkness replaced light, and Xu Qi'an was once again "blinded" by the dark poison, and all his five senses and six consciousnesses were blocked.

A shadow emerged silently, holding a slightly curved dagger in his hand, and stabbed the dark golden eyebrows with all his strength.

You Shi held a bone knife in each hand, buried it on his back, and ran to Xu Qi'an in three or two steps, slashing his neck with two knives.

Ba Ji already knew that the poison was useless, but he still cooperated and spit out three dark green poison arrows.

In order to ensure that the three companions could accurately hit the enemy, Chun Yan screamed again and exerted control with the heart poison technique.

The attacks of the three leaders did hit the enemy, but it was just a shadow without substance.

Under the triple attack, the shadow twisted like smoke, and then jumped and disappeared in front of the shadow and You Shi.

"Shadow" leaped into the shadow and chased after him.

"Chun Yan, retreat quickly!"

You Shi yelled.

Chun Yan, who had a pair of beautiful big eyes, had a slightly changed expression. She found it hard to accept that her ability to control her soul had failed, but under You Shi's warning, the experienced Chun Yan immediately leaped up and left the ground, so that she could prevent the enemy from getting out of her shadow.

At the same time, she opened her mouth and continuously issued silent screams.

Her body leaped in the air, and she looked down alertly and calmly, and saw a dark golden figure coming out from under the shade of a tree near her.

Then, the warrior bent his knees, and the ground sank with a "boom". He was like a sharp arrow shot into the sky.

Chun Yan's heart was horrified, and she kept opening her mouth to scream.

This time, the scream did not shake the soul, but stimulated Xu Qian'an's gentle and compassionate side.

Another method of the heart poison: empathy!

In addition, she summoned beasts from dozens of miles around like she was sharpening her gun before the battle.

The reason why she didn't use empathy in the previous few times was that the shock of the soul and the forced control had a better effect and could create advantages for teammates.

Empathy is relatively not that strong. It can stimulate the emotions that already exist in human nature, but if it is done too much, the opponent will immediately notice that something is wrong and break away from the empathy state.

For example, if a warrior with strong willpower is made to have a will to die or become negative in a life-and-death battle, this kind of empathy will most likely fail.

The choice of compassion and tenderness at the moment is much softer in nature, and the dominant power is in the hands of the other party.

In addition, empathy is not imposed unilaterally, but the synchronization of emotions between both parties.

If Xu Qiyan has a will to die, she will also have a will to die.

In the previous battle, if she forced Xu Qiyan to have a will to die, I am afraid that she would be the first one to rush up and fight with Xu Qiyan, begging for death!

Under empathy, Xu Qi'an's eyebrows softened and he said softly:

"Don't worry, I will be gentle and won't hurt you. Is this your first time?"

Chun Yan nodded shyly: "Yes!"

A few seconds later, the two of them broke free from the empathy state at the same time.

This must be wrong. They talked about that while fighting.

The sense of disharmony was too strong, even stronger than the determination to die. Empathy failed.

Why is he so kind to women... Chun Yan's eyes flashed with despair.

At this moment, the shortcomings of the heart poison master were clearly revealed. She was not good at fighting and fighting. Facing the attack of an extraordinary warrior, she could not resist or hide.

Escape, but not even fast enough.

"Boom!"

The sound of the ground collapsing sounded again, and You Shi also turned himself into a sharp arrow to chase him, trying to prevent him from getting close to his companions.

But in the next moment, the boundless darkness enveloped him, and You Shi also felt what Xu Qi'an felt not long ago.

Because Shadow had just used Blindness, he could not use it continuously in a short period of time, and could only helplessly watch the boy from the Central Plains entangle Chun Yan.

Pah Pah Pah!

Xu Qiyan responded with a familiar combo, which could only be performed by martial artists above the level of Hua Jin.

He then realized that perhaps in order to make up for the lack of individual combat power, this beautiful Heart Gu Master was also a peak fourth-grade martial artist.

Xu Qiyan grabbed the wrists of the almond-eyed beauty and twisted her hands behind her back.

"Hiss~"

The two red snakes on Chun Yan's earlobes loyally protected their master and bit the man's arm.

Xu Qiyan saw at a glance that the snake was extremely poisonous.

The two thin snakes bit Xu Qiyan's upper arm respectively, and with two sharp sounds, the little snakes curled up in pain, as if their teeth were broken.

"You...."

Chun Yan's big, round almond eyes were filled with anger and panic. She opened her pink little mouth and was about to let out a silent scream.

Xu Qian'an sprayed a highly concentrated aphrodisiac gas and a love Gu sub-Gu towards her face.

The black, slender sub-Gu instantly entered Chun Yan's mouth and disappeared.

In just a few seconds, her blood began to boil, her skin turned bright red, and the lust in her body was ignited, burning her reason.

Love Gu, he is also a love Gu master....... Luan Yu had an incredible thought in her mind.

Her few rationalities completely collapsed at this point, her skin was bright red, her cheeks were hot, and her legs rubbed unconsciously.

The "blindness" lasted for a very short time, and You Shi quickly recovered his perception and killed from the side with a bone knife, with a fierce momentum as if he wanted to kill the couple together.

He did it on purpose, using murderous intent and knife energy to help her "wake up".

Sure enough, after being stimulated by the outside world, Chun Yan's delicate body trembled, and her blurred eyes regained clarity.

But it was too late......

Bang!

The bone knife hit Xu Qi'an's head fiercely, cutting out a string of sparks. He had no intention of dodging, but when the bone knife hit him, he gave Chun Yan a bear hug.

Crack, crack!

Women's bodies seemed to be equally soft, and their bones were equally fragile.

Xu Qi'an threw down more than a dozen bones and broke them. Chun Yan, who was accompanied by love poison, stood proudly in the air, looking at the three leaders of Dark Gu, Corpse Gu, and Poison Gu, and grinned:

"It's your turn."

The three leaders felt a chill in their hearts for no reason.

Taking a deep breath, he sprayed a breath of aphrodisiac gas at the three people below.

In addition to the zombies, Ba Ji and "Shadow" had tents erected high in their crotches, and their eyes were burning with lust, but they soon calmed down.

After all, this has not reached the extraordinary realm, so its power is relatively weak.

Xu Qi'an's means are naturally more than that, and he immediately disappeared in mid-air.

"Baji, watch your step!"

The shadow shouted loudly.

Baji understood and leaped to the side. Because of Chun Yan's previous experience, he did not dare to fly in the air.

Xu Qi'an really came out of his shadow.

Baji calmly grabbed a handful of black pills from the small animal skin bag on his waist, stuffed them into the end, and swallowed them whole.

A black light suddenly appeared on his body.

"Pop!"

Baji clapped his palms together, and accompanied by a sound, there were bursts of black smoke visible to the naked eye.

The black smoke quickly engulfed Xu Qi'an, clinging to the surface of his skin like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and then the pain came.

Sure enough, the poison sprayed from a distance and the poison from close contact are completely different in level... Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart, Ba Ji's poison is one level higher than his, and he can't digest it with his poisonous body.

Want to force me back? The fire ring behind Xu Qi'an's head exploded, making the black smoke shake like a curtain, evaporating more than half and thinning a little.

He opened his mouth and let out a silent scream, causing You Shi and "Shadow" who came to rescue from behind to stiffen.

Seizing this gap, Xu Qi'an forcibly carried the highly toxic black smoke and ran to Ba Ji in three or two steps, using his hands and feet, and turning the joints of his body into weapons.

Pah pah pah.....

The melee lasted less than three seconds, and Ba Ji's arms and legs were torn off.

The price Xu Qi'an paid was that half of his body turned black and purple, his Vajra body was corroded by the toxin, causing severe dizziness and vomiting.

If it were any other leader except Longtu, their limbs would be torn off violently, and they would be half disabled.

But the poisonous body is different, and it has a different regeneration ability.

After temporarily disabling Baji, only the shadow of the dark poison and the zombies controlled by Youshi were left. At this point, it was already very simple.

Xu Qi'an, who has a Vajra body, a warrior's immortal body, and the means of the Seven Deadly Gu, can deal with a third-level zombie, a dark poison master who is good at assassination, even without the pagoda.

What the situation is, it is self-evident.

The boundless darkness enveloped Youshi again, and Xu Qi'an cast a blinding on him.

At the same time, Xu Qi'an's five senses and six consciousnesses were also blinded by the "shadow".

He could not see or hear the position of Youshi, but Youshi could not tell his position either.

Whoosh!

A dark golden blade flashed out from his arms, slashing around the zombies, making a crisp sound of "ding ding ding".

With the guidance of the Taiping sword, he grasped the position of the corpse.

Furious!

Muscles bulged one by one, and the body expanded nearly twice in an instant. Xu Qi'an heard the sound and identified the position, seized the opportunity, and attacked the zombies like a storm.

Dang dang dang... During this process, his eyebrows were constantly hit by the "shadow".

"Shadow" gave up quickly, he merged into the shadow, rolled up Luan Yu, Chun Yan, and Ba Ji who turned into a human stick and left, going to the place where Tian Gu Granny was.

His decision was wise, because he realized that it was more difficult for him to drill through Xu Qi'an's forehead than for Xu Qi'an to cripple the zombies.

"Puff..."

Finally, after a punch, the head of the corpse exploded into pieces, and the gray-white brain splashed everywhere.
