423: Chapter 420 is about deadly poison; I used deadly poison.

Ye Ouyang rolled to the side as the Dinosaur Person's fist grazed his shoulder and smashed into the ground, cratering it.

Now!

He flicked his hand back, and his golden claws stabbed deep into the Dinosaur Person's arm before it could be withdrawn. The blades sank into the flesh, and a golden fluid was frantically injected!

Overdose Injection.

The Dinosaur Person let out a pained roar and jerked its arm to shake him off, but Ye Ouyang had already pulled his claws back and retreated several meters.

The Dinosaur Person looked down at its arm.

The wound was healing. No, it was more than just healing—it was Excessive Regeneration. The muscles on that arm began to bulge unnaturally, forming one lump after another, as if something were scurrying beneath the skin.

"What's happening to him?" Zhou Zihui's tail flicked slightly in the air as he stared warily at the increasingly distorted figure.

Ye Ouyang caught his breath, his eyes fixed on the Dinosaur Person.

"Excessive Regeneration. Too many internal organs—the internally regenerated organs are cramming together. He's about to burst from the inside."

Just as he spoke, the Dinosaur Person let out a shrill scream.

It arched its body, those bulges surging frantically under its skin like trapped rats. But at that moment—

Splurch!

A hole suddenly exploded in the Dinosaur Person's abdomen, and a stream of transparent liquid gushed out, carrying a pungent, corrosive odor. As the liquid hit the ground, white smoke immediately rose, and the soil hissed as it was eaten away.

Next, the same liquid poured from the Dinosaur Person's mouth, dripping down its chin.

Ye Ouyang was stunned.

"No... what is this?"

Zhou Zihui narrowed his eyes at the Corrosive Liquid.

"Whatever it is, it looks like something corrosive," he said. "And he doesn't seem to have any resistance to it himself."

"Wait," Ye Ouyang realized, "then why would it be inside his body—"

Before he could finish, the bulges on the Dinosaur Person's body began to recede.

Those excessively regenerated organs, the extra tissue that should have burst it from the inside, were being dissolved bit by bit by that Corrosive Liquid. The liquid flowed out from within, taking away the things that shouldn't exist, along with part of its flesh.

But the wounds were healing.

The golden cells were still at work, desperately repairing even as they were being corroded. The Dinosaur Person's body became a battlefield—the Corrosive Liquid and the Gold Weave Cells were locked in a frantic struggle.

A few seconds later, it stood up straight.

The wounds on its body remained, but that lethal Excessive Regeneration had been forcefully "cured" by the Corrosive Liquid.

Ye Ouyang's lip twitched.

"No way... this actually works?" His eyes widened. "It used self-mutilation to turn my 'treatment' into actual treatment?!"

The Dinosaur Person gave him no time to continue complaining.

It took a deep breath, its throat bulging, and then suddenly spat forward—a stream of transparent, pungent liquid lunged toward Ye Ouyang like a high-pressure water jet!

Ye Ouyang lunged to the side. The liquid grazed his heel and hit a tree behind him. More than half of the trunk was instantly corroded away, and the upper half came crashing down.

Before he could catch his breath, another jet of water sprayed toward him!

Dodge!

Another tree was snapped in half by the corrosion.

Just as he dodged for the third time, a thick tail swept out from nowhere and struck him directly!

Bang!

Ye Ouyang was sent flying, snapping several trees in succession before crashing into a thicket of bushes.

The Dinosaur Person retracted its tail and was about to give chase when a greenish-gray afterimage stabbed toward its face!

Zhou Zihui's tail thrusted repeatedly like a spear, forcing the Dinosaur Person back. He took the opportunity to close in, sweeping his tail against the Dinosaur Person's ribs and making it stumble. Then, his tail coiled around the Dinosaur Person's right leg and slammed it hard into the ground!

Boom!

The Dinosaur Person crashed down, but its reaction was swift—it grabbed the tail wrapped around its leg and yanked hard!

Zhou Zihui was pulled forward several steps. Before he could steady himself, the Dinosaur Person's fist was already swinging at him!

Bang!

That punch landed squarely on his chest, sending him flying backward—but since his tail was still wrapped around the Dinosaur Person's leg, the creature was also dragged along. Both of them flew out, snapping several trees behind them and rolling into a heap.

Ye Ouyang scrambled out of the bushes and shook his head.

"No... I can't give it any more treatment!"

He pushed off the ground, his golden figure charging straight ahead.

As the Dinosaur Person tried to get up, Ye Ouyang arrived and slashed his claws across its back! Blood splattered, and scales were torn away!

The Dinosaur Person grunted in pain, its tail instinctively stabbing toward Ye Ouyang's chest—

Just as the tip of that tail was about to pierce Ye Ouyang's chest, a fist slammed hard into the Dinosaur Person's face from the side!

Bang!

The Dinosaur Person's head snapped to the side, and the thrust went wide, grazing past Ye Ouyang's ribs.

Simultaneously, Zhou Zihui's tail coiled around the Dinosaur Person's neck, its tip aimed at the creature's throat—

The Dinosaur Person instinctively recoiled, breaking free from the lethal thrust, and retreated a few steps to put some distance between them.

Right then—

Chii!

A slender bone sword pierced through the Dinosaur Person from behind, its tip emerging from its chest!

The Dinosaur Person let out a sky-shaking roar of pain. Before it could turn around, a figure stepped onto its back, used it as a springboard to leap away, and pulled the long sword out in the process. The figure spun in mid-air, neatly dodging the Dinosaur Person's instinctive backswing, and landed lightly.

Under the moonlight, the pure white armor shimmered, its gold trim flashing in the night.

"Senior!" Ye Ouyang's eyes lit up. "Wei Ziqing!"

Wei Ziqing flicked the blood off his sword and glanced at him, then at the Dinosaur Person that had turned around and was glaring at him.

"Why are you here?" Ye Ouyang stepped forward quickly to stand beside him.

"Hmph," Wei Ziqing's lips quirked. "I received the message. This guy killed a police officer at the Detention Center. As soon as I heard, I knew he was coming for you."

The Dinosaur Person let out a low growl and lunged!

Wei Ziqing's figure blurred as he sidestepped the overhead claw, his long sword sweeping across to leave a bone-deep wound in the Dinosaur Person's side. The creature grunted in pain and swung its other claw, which Wei Ziqing ducked under, his blade flicking upward to open another gash on its arm.

His movements were too fast; despite the Dinosaur Person's consecutive strikes, it couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes, while its body only gained more wounds.

The Dinosaur Person roared and opened its mouth at Wei Ziqing—its throat bulged, and that Corrosive Liquid was about to spray out!

Wei Ziqing's gaze sharpened. Instead of retreating, he advanced, delivering a fierce sweep kick to the Dinosaur Person's ankle!

The Dinosaur Person's massive frame lost balance and toppled sideways. The mouthful of Corrosive Liquid sprayed out—but due to its falling posture, it was poured entirely over itself!

Sizzle—!

White smoke rose as the Dinosaur Person let out a shrill scream, its chest and shoulders scorched with large patches of blackened wounds from its own Corrosive Liquid.

Now!

Zhou Zihui's tail thrusted out like a Long Spear, the tip piercing through the Dinosaur Person's flank and coming out the other side!

Before the Dinosaur Person's screams could stop, Wei Ziqing had already leaped up, landing several sword strikes on its back and neck!

Covered in blood, the Dinosaur Person still hadn't fallen. With all its strength, it swung a fist at the newly landed Wei Ziqing!

Wei Ziqing blocked with his sword—

Bang!

The force of the punch was too great; he was sent flying and slammed heavily into the ground, creating a massive crater.

Ye Ouyang closed in from behind, his golden claws stabbing deep into the Dinosaur Person's back.

This time, he didn't inject any cells.

The claw blades tore directly through the flesh, ripping out a large chunk of meat. The Dinosaur Person let out a shrill wail and swung a punch back at Ye Ouyang—but halfway through the swing, its strength dissipated.

Its massive body swayed and suddenly collapsed to its knees.

Blood gushed from its mouth as it vomited uncontrollably. It tried to stand, but its limbs wouldn't obey, leaving it sprawled on the ground, making gurgling sounds in its throat.

Ye Ouyang stepped back a couple of paces, watching it warily.

"What's going on?" He turned to look at Wei Ziqing.

Wei Ziqing sheathed his sword and flicked the blood from the blade.

"Lethal poison."

He walked over and stood beside the Dinosaur Person, looking down at the vomiting behemoth.

"Before coming this time, I didn't use the kind of poison that paralyzes nerves and knocks people out," he said calmly. "I used lethal poison. Within those few strikes I landed, you were already fatally poisoned."

The Dinosaur Person looked up, its dark yellow vertical pupils fixed on him, blood still pouring from its mouth.

It opened its mouth as if to say something, but only blood foam bubbled out.

A few seconds later, its massive body crashed to the ground, never to move again.
