Chapter 367 - 367 367 The Lizard's Gene

367: Chapter 367: The Lizard’s Gene 367: Chapter 367: The Lizard’s Gene “””A person should not stumble over the same stone twice, but what if a wound is struck in the same place twice?

A roar erupted from the park, its owner undoubtedly Refining Mo, knowing all too well that tooth extraction is deemed one of the most brutal forms of punishment, one could imagine how excruciating it must have been to have a tooth forcibly knocked out.

Yet what enraged Refining Mo even more was that not one, but two individuals had managed to break his teeth.

“Breaking Sky Fist.” Ye Shikai channeled his Inner Strength, throwing punches with the speed of a motor at Refining Mo’s face, the force of his fists whipping past and grazing the skin, causing a stinging pain.

Refining Mo, consumed by fury and humiliation, swung the Desire Splitting Blade, but lacked the energy to sustain his attack, and the edge of his blade was dispersed by the Breaking Sky Fist in midair.

“Pfft.” The Breaking Sky Fist struck Refining Mo in the abdomen, causing him to violently spew out blood as his body was sent flying like a cut-string kite for several meters.

Rong Yuan, who was nearby, was not faring much better.

Soul Destroyer wielded the Long White Sword while Demoness fought with a Soft Sword in hand.

The two combined hard and soft styles in a seamless flow, as Rong Yuan, despite having energy, couldn’t hold off their four-handed assault, and found that his own blade was starting to curl at the edge.

Under their coordinated onslaught, several wounds appeared on his body.

“Damn it, Rong Yuan, retreat!” Refining Mo cursed out loud as he took out a smoke grenade from his pocket and smashed it on the ground.

It exploded instantly, releasing thick white smoke along with a pungent odor.

It’s best to retreat in the face of overwhelming odds.

Rong Yuan nodded in response, turned around to make an escape, but was intercepted by Soul Destroyer.

The white blade cut across his path, slashing towards his head.

Rong Yuan hastily used his own sharp blade to block.

“Bang.” Suddenly, a streak of white light flashed by, accompanied by a whistling sound, and the target was the temple of Soul Destroyer.

Realizing the danger, Demoness thrust her Soft Sword like a silver serpent at the incoming white light.

In barely a moment, the two collided, producing sparks.

“Barrett anti-material sniper rifle.” Ye Shikai cursed under his breath; he was all too familiar with the sound of that gun.

From his time abroad, too many had died under that rifle’s heavy caliber bullets, which could sever limbs even when hitting a joint.

The owner of the bullet was clear—it was Te Que of the Tomb Spirit Organization.

This individual had been lurking in the shadows, and thankfully, Demoness’s Soft Sword was made of a synthetic metal that was indestructible; otherwise, it would have been difficult to fend off the bullet.

However, Rong Yuan seized the moment to dash into the small woods and disappeared from sight.

“Forget it, let’s not chase them.” Ye Shikai stopped the others, observing their frustrated faces; he commented calmly, “We should head to the hospital instead.”

…

At the hospital.

Nightmare was rushed into the intensive care unit.

Though it wasn’t due to illness, there weren’t many “parts” left in good condition on his body.

Externally, he was riddled with knife wounds, and his internal organs had suffered major bleeding due to shockwaves.

Since his arrival in Hong Kong, it seemed he was constantly getting injured, and the reason for that lay with the woman outside the sickroom.

Illusion Fox stared blankly at Nightmare, who was inside the hospital room.

She had been maintaining this state for several hours, motionless.

The surrounding nurses and doctors looked at her with curiosity, none daring to approach and speak to her.

“It appears you care a lot about him,” a magnetic voice suddenly spoke up behind Illusion Fox.

She turned around to see Ye Shikai looking at her with a grave expression.

“Soul Destroyer and Demoness have been sent away by me.

Now it’s just the two of us here, there’s no need to hide anymore,” Ye Shikai spoke softly, shifting his gaze towards Nightmare in the sickroom.

After a long silence, Illusion Fox let out a deep sigh, her face showing an expression of sadness.

“I’m the one who caused all this to him,” Illusion Fox turned to face Ye Shikai and bowed deeply, “I’m sorry.”

“You should be telling this to him,” said Ye Shikai as he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, about to light it, but then remembered that smoking was not allowed in the hospital and took it out of his mouth.”””

“He has endured too much for you.” Ye Shikai seemed to be reflecting, as if lamenting.

“I know.

I’ll leave him and won’t come back again.” Illusion Fox slowly squatted down, leaning against the corner of the wall, silently shedding tears.

“Are you in such a hurry to leave?

What about him then?” Ye Shikai walked over to Illusion Fox, not caring about her resistance, and pulled her up forcefully.

“You, you…

what do you mean?”

“Sigh, from now on, I won’t interfere with you two being together, and neither will the people from Netherworld Palace, but I hope you don’t do this sort of thing again.”

“You, you won’t let me leave him?” Illusion Fox showed an incredulous expression, her voice trembling non-stop, not daring to believe her own ears.

“Nightmare is my brother, but I’m not his dad.

Who he loves is his business.

However, I warn you, if you do this kind of thing again…”

“Thank you, thank you.” Before Ye Shikai could finish, Illusion Fox excitedly grabbed his hand, shaking it continually, crying with joy.

She wiped away her tears and said excitedly, “I’ll never do it again.”

“The patient has woken up; where is the family?

You can go see him now, but please, keep the noise down.” At this time, a nurse came out from the inside and said to the two of them.

“Don’t you hurry to take a look.

I guess you two have already talked it over, haven’t you?” Ye Shikai pointed towards the entrance of the ward, showing a faint smile.

“Okay.” Illusion Fox nodded, her excited and thrilled expression was more than evident as she scampered into the room.

Ye Shikai stood silently outside the ward, watching the two of them talk.

Being someone who had experienced it all, when he heard that recording, he had already understood the purpose behind Illusion Fox’s actions.

In fact, he could really understand her.

But on the other hand, if Nightmare, who was once from the Tomb Spirit Organization, could be accepted by Netherworld Palace, then why not Illusion Fox?

……

“Boss, Boss, what are you doing here?” At this moment, a voice came from not too far away, and Ye Shikai turned his head to see it was Worm, out of breath as if he had run a long way.

“Worm, what do you need from me?

Oh right, didn’t you already head back to the Netherworld Palace base?” Ye Shikai said in surprise.

“Yes, I had just reached the airport when I got a call from Jeddon; he asked me to give you a document.” Worm took out a file from his backpack and handed it to Ye Shikai.

“Jeddon found something in the severed arm of Refining Mo; he said you would definitely be interested.”

“What kind of document is this, so mysterious.” Ye Shikai curiously flipped through the papers.

Last time, in order to study the cloaking and Regeneration Skills of Refining Mo, he had specifically sent the severed arm to Jeddon for testing.

Ye Shikai had just flipped to the second page when he saw a line of small text that made his heart tremble, and then his eyes fixated there.

The result was both unexpected and reasonable.

From the DNA of that severed arm, they actually detected lizard genes, and limb regeneration is precisely the lizard’s special skill.

As for the cloaking ability, it is very possible that, like chameleons, it involves adjusting skin pigments according to the surroundings, gradually blending into the environment, as if becoming invisible.

These points made Ye Shikai think of the incident that occurred in Yanjing.

The Mothman case.
