Chapter One Hundred Fourteen: New Allies!

Half-human, half-serpent Hals was always a little anxious, well aware of how powerful the X Organization truly was. He could no longer hold back and finally spoke up.

“You shouldn’t always overthink, Ye Yang. Listen to me—do not provoke that organization you cannot approach.”

“That’s your boundary, but I insist on crossing this line.”

“We’re with you!”

Lu Kai and the others raised their hands together. “Don’t worry, boss. If you’re up against those people, you have us.”

As they spoke, their gaze shifted toward the side.

In truth, the monster was already barely restraining itself, on the verge of erupting. Fortunately, at that moment, the man with a human head and serpent body rushed over to stop him.

However, he was unsuccessful; the mutated creature spared him but remained ruthless toward everyone else!

Seeing matters come to this, Chen Yi also unleashed his supernatural ability.

The half-human, half-serpent watched Chen Yi soar through the air, observing the cold, formidable power he radiated. Envy and resentment flashed in his eyes.

He had thought Chen Yi was merely special, so he’d rushed forward to protect him. Now, he suddenly felt like a fool.

Chen Yi fixed his gaze on the giant monster with a look of disdain for the world, his fists clenched.

“If you refuse to yield, you’ve lost all dignity as a human. I’ll personally slay you!”

With that, Chen Yi spread his silver wings, and eight scythe-shaped weapons emerged on his body, gleaming one after another.

“Amazing!”

The half-beast monster dared not approach. Among all the opponents he had encountered, none had been as formidable as Chen Yi. Now, witnessing this power, he dared not act rashly.

Chu Yunxi noticed the man’s unusual reaction.

Though he had promised to cooperate, his response seemed more like that of an enemy.

Chen Yaxi tugged at Chu Yunxi’s arm. “Sister, do you think there’s something wrong with him?”

Chu Yunxi was surprised.

“You sensed it too?”

Chen Yaxi nodded. “I can clearly perceive Brother’s power, so I won’t mistake it. The red markings on his body enhance intelligence and precision, similar to my shuttle ability.”

“I know.”

Chen Yaxi nodded, though worry lingered on her face.

“Though the mutant claims he was coerced, he seems to relish it—look at him, always gazing down on everyone!”

Even a child could see it; how much more so Chu Yunxi and Chen Yi?

At this moment, the red markings on Chen Yi’s body glimmered visibly, altering the color of each scythe on his limbs.

“Tsk, tsk.”

Lu Kai stroked his chin, impressed.

“Boss looks even cooler now that his scythes have changed color!”

“Is this the time for that?”

Chu Yunxi shot Lu Kai a glance, but inwardly she couldn’t help but worry.

Though it seemed insignificant, the advantages and disadvantages of the red glow were still unclear. Chu Yunxi remained tense.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Chen Yi slowly descended from the air, coming to Chu Yunxi’s side.

“I assure you, the power in me is stable now—no adverse effects.”

Only then did Chu Yunxi breathe a sigh of relief, though concern lingered.

“If nothing’s wrong, why did you look pained just now?”

“It’s fine.”

Chen Yi replied calmly. “When I first began to merge with this power, it was hard to adapt. But gradually, I could sense the new strength integrating, so it’s bearable.”

“Promise me.”

Grasping Chen Yi’s hand once more, Chu Yunxi spoke nervously.

“You must never let anything happen to yourself. You’re the one I love most; how can I be at ease if you’re in danger?”

“Understood.”

Chen Yi gently tapped her head, his gaze tender, but quickly turned again to the half-human, half-serpent monster.

“Are you going to be our friend or our foe? Today, someone must pay the price—will it be him or you?”

The mutated serpent’s eyes were filled with terror.

“I know I should make a choice, but this matter is not—”

“Don’t bother with ambiguous words. You no longer have the right to decide.”

Chen Yi stared at him coldly, his scythe pressed suddenly to the monster’s chest. “One slight move, and your life ends. What happens is entirely up to you.”

At that moment, the giant monster roared again, preparing to kill.

The mutated serpent’s expression turned icy, but he finally chose to change his fate, clenching his fists.

“I’ll listen to you—let’s deal with him!”

“Good.”

Chen Yi nodded lightly and led him forward, launching an attack on the giant monster without hesitation.

Under immense pressure, the monster was unable to defend itself, forced to retreat. Chen Yi’s newly strengthened power inflicted heavy damage, causing it to roar in a deadly fury.

As it prepared to act again, Chen Yi’s twin blades and lethal red scythes tore it apart.

The giant monster disintegrated instantly, blood and flesh scattering across the ground.

The mutant watched helplessly, hatred burning inside.

“Your heart isn’t ruthless enough.”

Chen Yi turned to the furious mutant. “At this point, he’s no longer your companion. If it were me, I’d choose the wisest way to grant him freedom, not let him linger in agony. You know your friend best—how would he choose to live on, humbled?”

These words struck the mutant deeply. “You’re right. But seeing him die like this, I cannot find peace—I feel nothing but resentment!”

“That’s a perfectly normal emotion. Why should you care?”

Chen Yi spoke calmly.

“Understand this: if you can be indifferent to a friend’s death, you’re no better than a beast. And people like that—I have no fondness for them.”

“Thank you for the guidance, boss!”

The mutant bowed, utterly submissive.

“From now on, my life belongs to you!”
