Chapter 423: Battle with the Serpent – Part 1 (10 Chapters Batch-1)

“Ye Xiong, you can’t transform anymore, let’s join forces and finish her off,” Phoenix said.

“But this is a Second Generation Gene Warrior, how can we fight without transforming?”

“Ye Tongtong lacks actual combat experience, let’s try it first. We absolutely can’t transform unless it’s a matter of life and death, or you’ll fall deeper into it,” Phoenix warned.

“Then let’s try joining forces.”

Ye Xiong didn’t want to transform either. As the number of transformations increased, he had begun to notice that the side effects were getting more severe. If this continued, he didn’t know what would happen.

He had heard before that Gene Warriors paid for their power by burning their lives, and now it seemed all too likely.

...

More importantly, subconsciously, he felt that Ye Tongtong might not be their only enemy; Long Lan and Mr. M might well be lurking in the shadows, waiting for him to transform. During the time when the transformation’s side effects hit him, it would likely be their chance to strike.

Hiss Hiss!

Transformed, the Serpent moved incredibly fast, rushing to Ye Xiong’s side in the blink of an eye and slashing down with sharp claws.

Clang clang.

Ye Xiong countered with his knife and was preparing to strike back when the Serpent had already vanished.

Whoosh!

She struck again like lightning, and by the time Ye Xiong realized, there was already a cut on his arm.

“Be careful, she’s a speed-type Gene Warrior. Overall, her strength is much weaker than Skeleton’s,” Ye Xiong whispered.

If she had been as formidable as Skeleton, they would have been wounded long ago and wouldn’t have lasted until now.

As the fight began, the entire hall had emptied out. Even Murong Ruyin had carried the injured Yang Xinyi away. Only Ye Xiong, Phoenix, and the Serpent remained battling in the large second-floor hall.

To handle the assault, Ye Xiong and Phoenix stood back to back, the feeling of their backs pressing together was all too familiar to Ye Xiong.

“Phoenix, when was the last time we fought side by side like this?” Ye Xiong suddenly asked.

“Island Country, Ninja Clan,” Phoenix replied indifferently.

“Glad you haven’t forgotten. I thought you were so mad at me you forgot everything,” Ye Xiong said with a laugh.

Before Reaper Squad was destroyed, Ye Xiong and Phoenix had been on a mission in the Island Country. They had been surrounded by dozens of warriors and had fought back to back, carving out a path of survival and escaping.

Recalling those times stirred Ye Xiong’s blood.

“What I should remember, I will remember. What I shouldn’t, I won’t,” Phoenix said flatly.

“Could you forget what happened at the company last time?”

Ye Xiong was referring to the artificial respiration incident that had lingered in Phoenix’s mind.

“I can’t.”

“I just don’t want things to become so cold between us, it’s very uncomfortable to interact like this.”

“You should focus on how to defeat this Serpent instead of wasting so much breath,” Phoenix said.

As they talked, the Serpent suddenly attacked from above.

Instantly separating, Ye Xiong grabbed a nearby chair and smashed it fiercely at the attacker.

Hiss hiss hiss, the chair, grazed by the Serpent’s nails, splintered into pieces. The sneak attack foiled, the Serpent darted back ten meters, waiting for another opportunity.

“She’s too fast. At this rate, we’re bound to lose,” Ye Xiong whispered.

“There’s nothing we can do about it, we simply can’t match her speed,” whispered Phoenix in reply.

“It seems we need to set a trap and force her into a smaller space where she can’t use her speed. If she can’t leverage her speed advantage, we’ve won half the battle,” Ye Xiong said.

“Unless we lure her into a small room, but would she be so foolish as to enter and walk into her death?”

“Maybe not others, but Ye Tongtong might. She lacks real combat experience,” Ye Xiong pondered for a moment before continuing, “When she charges at us again, we’ll pretend to be scattered by her attack. She’ll definitely target you, as you’re seemingly the weaker one. Keep fighting while retreating into one of the rooms. Whether or not we succeed will depend on you.”

Phoenix nodded. It was a good plan. If they could trap her in a smaller space, her speed advantage would diminish significantly.

“Be careful, and don’t let anything happen to you, or I won’t let you off the hook,” Ye Xiong said with concern.
