76: Chapter 76 Vanished into Thin Air

Its body instantly became immensely huge, standing over three meters tall.

With thick skin and flesh, exuding a heart-palpitating sense of oppression, it was unmistakably a dinosaur-form mutant!

Chen Ye thought to himself that this was bad, "Now that this guy is here, this group of Second-order Beasts has stopped moving; it seems to possess absolute strength!"

Before Chen Ye could think it through.

"Roar!" The dinosaur mutant let out a roar.

The sound was deafening as it swung its massive claws, smashing fiercely toward Chen Ye.

The claws carried the force of a thousand jun, as if wanting to smash Chen Ye into meat paste.

Chen Ye's eyes narrowed; he dared not be the slightest bit careless, channeling all the strength within his body.

At the same time, he wrapped it in Thunder Light, gripped his short blade tightly, and met it head-on.

"Bang!!" The short blade collided with the dinosaur's claw, emitting a loud noise.

Chen Ye only felt a sharp pain in his arm, his body shaken back repeatedly by the immense force.

"What strong strength!" Chen Ye sighed inwardly, the strength of this dinosaur mutant.

Was actually on par with his 185 points of Basic Strength.

It was even slightly superior; it was truly terrifying!

The dinosaur mutant pressed its advantage, roaring once more as it swung its claws toward Chen Ye again.

Chen Ye's eyes were sharp; relying on his 305 points of extreme speed, his figure flashed instantly, dodging in the nick of time.

Simultaneously, he circled behind the dinosaur mutant, his short blade carrying Thunder Light, and slashed fiercely at the base of its tail.

"Sizzle!" The Thunder Light struck the dinosaur mutant's tail, blasting open a charred wound as black blood gushed out.

The dinosaur mutant roared in pain, its tail lashing out violently, smashing toward Chen Ye.

Chen Ye flashed aside, dodging the attack.

But he was still clipped by the shockwave of the tail, his body slamming heavily against the wall.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, the wounds on his body reopened, and blood stained his clothes red.

"I didn't expect that despite being so large, its attack speed would still be this astonishing!" Chen Ye exclaimed.

The three guards nearby also took the opportunity to launch an attack.

One transformed into a snake-bodied, human-headed creature, spitting out poison.

One transformed into a wolf-bodied, human-headed creature, moving extremely fast, pouncing and biting crazily.

And Jin Xiaojun transformed into an eagle-bodied, human-headed creature, flapping his wings to attack from the air.

Chen Ye suddenly stretched out his hand to make a stop gesture and shouted: "Wait, wait, wait, wait!"

The four were baffled by his shout, but Chen Ye did not wait for them to ask.

He continued immediately: "You have strength in numbers; is it honorable for you to gang up on me?"

"I have a proposal. Pick one of you to duel me one-on-one. If you win, I will surrender, which will save you the trouble!"

"And if you lose, you let me go. How about it?"

At this moment, Jin Xiaojun shouted anxiously from the air: "Boss, don't listen to this kid; he's definitely stalling for time, we..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was struck by a bolt of lightning secretly unleashed by Chen Ye.

It turned out that Chen Ye didn't actually want to duel, and he knew they certainly wouldn't agree to a one-on-one.

He just wanted to create an opportunity for himself to secretly activate his Superpower.

Watching the eagle-bodied mutant slowly land, Chen Ye rushed forward rapidly and stomped his foot onto his neck.

The protagonist said in a deep voice: "You do have some brains, but your strength is lacking."

"No, no, no, don't kill me, I was wrong!" Jin Xiaojun cried out in pain: "Boss, save me! I don't want to die!"

"Remember, don't harass others in your next life!" Chen Ye didn't waste any more breath and stomped down hard.

"Crack!" A sound of neck bones breaking came, and Jin Xiaojun lost his breath instantly.

The other three were all shocked, "You bastard, actually playing dirty, you're courting death!"

Only after Jin Xiaojun died did everyone realize Chen Ye's ruthlessness; they no longer held back, and the human-beasts swarmed toward Chen Ye.

The beasts and mutants attacked in turns. Chen Ye was attacked from front and back; the wounds on his body increased, and his movements became sluggish.

He knew that if this continued, both he and Shangguan Lingyue would die here.

Chen Ye activated his Superpower again, purple light swirling around his body, and then four beams of purple energy burst toward four First-order Beasts respectively.

The next second, the pupils of the four First-order Beasts glowed with purple light, and they began to attack the other beasts around Chen Ye at random.

The scene quickly fell into chaos.

Peng Wu was somewhat incredulous, his eyes full of doubt: "Is this his ability too?"

At this moment, he could no longer afford to hesitate and shouted loudly: "Do not hold back anymore, all of you, attack!"

Chen Ye ignored his roar, grabbed Shangguan Lingyue, held her tightly in his arms, and said: "Hold onto me tight!"

Shangguan Lingyue subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, her soft body pressed tightly against his chest, her snow-white skin rubbing against his arm, carrying a hint of warm sensation.

Chen Ye no longer hesitated, channeling all the speed within his body.

Holding Shangguan Lingyue, disregarding the sharp pain in his body, he sprinted rapidly toward the direction of the mountain forest.

The forest was pitch black, without a single light, and the trees were dense, making it perfect for hiding his figure.

Chen Ye carried Shangguan Lingyue, moving rapidly through the forest, avoiding obstacles.

"What are you standing there for? Chase after him!" Peng Wu issued the order again.

The roars of the beasts and the angry shouts of the mutants behind him were gradually left behind.

By the time the dinosaur mutant and the crowd of beasts and mutants caught up to the forest.

They discovered that the figures of Chen Ye and Shangguan Lingyue had long since vanished without a trace.

Only the pitch-black forest remained, terrifyingly silent.

"Search! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find them!" The dinosaur mutant roared and led the group, rushing into the forest to begin a frantic search.

At this moment, Chen Ye was holding Shangguan Lingyue, hiding inside his own symbiosis pod.

He looked down at Shangguan Lingyue in his arms; her face was pale, and her whole body was trembling.

Yet she was still clutching his neck tightly, her eyes full of reliance and gratitude.

"Don't be afraid, we are safe for the moment." Chen Ye comforted her softly, his tone carrying a hint of exhaustion.

The wounds on his body sent waves of sharp pain, and the toxins in his body were still faintly wreaking havoc.

Shangguan Lingyue raised her head, looking at the bloodstains all over him, her eye sockets slightly reddening.

She reached out with her fair little hand, gently stroking his wounds.

Her voice was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of a sob: "Chen Ye, you are hurt... It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had to work so hard."

"Also, thank you for coming back to save me. I don't know if it's worth it for you to do this!"

Chen Ye smiled and shook his head, reaching out to gently wipe the tear stains from her face: "It has nothing to do with you. Since I promised to save you, I will definitely do it."

Shangguan Lingyue nodded, obediently leaning into his embrace, her soft body pressed tightly against him, her warm breath blowing on his neck.

The man in front of her, from initially refusing to share a room with her, to saving her when she was being harassed at the back door of the restaurant, and then returning upstairs to save her.

Even just now, he killed Jin Xiaojun, who had harassed her, for her sake. Every time, it refreshed her favorable impression of Chen Ye.

But what Shangguan Lingyue didn't expect was that Chen Ye suddenly seemed like a different person, suddenly glaring with rage.

A large hand directly gripped her neck.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Shangguan Lingyue looked at Chen Ye in disbelief, her slender hands weakly grabbing Chen Ye's arm, the bloodshot veins in her eyes clearly visible.

Chen Ye didn't continue to apply force, saying in a calm tone: "Don't pretend anymore; this illusion was set up by you, right?"
