Chapter 212: Chapter 0212: A Shocking Battle_1
 

Skeleton is Ruan Jingyang?

This thought emerged in his mind, and Ye Xiong was instantly shocked.

He had never expected such an outcome.

Thinking back, it also explained why the Skeleton’s traces were often seen near Du Yuehua.

The thought that his own Reaper Squad might have been harmed by this guy caused Ye Xiong’s anger to surge, turning into towering rage.

Regardless, he had to defeat Skeleton and find out why he had provided false information back then and who was behind it all.

In an instant, Skeleton had already attacked, his movements as elusive as a ghost or a demon, and his appearance and attire made him look like a haunting specter.

An average person, when facing such an expert, would probably have lost courage before the battle even began.

Unfortunately for Skeleton, he encountered Ye Xiong.

A Reaper who also loved the night and feared no demons or ghosts.

The two engaged in rapid combat, back and forth with imposing momentum.

The incessant clinking of blades colliding, sparks flying in all directions.

In terms of strength, Skeleton was clearly outmatched by Ye Xiong, whether it was combat experience or his own Cultivation Level, he was a cut below Ye Xiong. The only reason he could temporarily hold his ground was his mysterious and unpredictable Nine Palaces Mystic Step.

Nine Palaces Mystic Step, an extremely powerful technique, was said to have evolved from the Nine Palaces Diagram, unpredictable as spirits and demons, it wielded tremendous power in close combat.

“If I could learn this Nine Palaces Mystic Step, my strength would surely increase by another level”, Ye Xiong thought to himself.

At this moment, he could not afford to think too much and invested himself wholeheartedly in the fierce battle with Skeleton.

After a moment of fighting, Skeleton finally couldn’t withstand it any longer. He was forced to retreat step by step, overwhelmed by Ye Xiong’s assault.

“Why did you betray the organization, why did you provide false information, where did the remaining three intelligence agents go, who instructed you?” Ye Xiong, wielding his dagger, angrily questioned.

“Want to know? Defeat me first!” Skeleton sneered.

“Defeating you is too easy.”

Ye Xiong’s Inner Strength wildly surged within his body, immediately causing the air around him to swirl, his powerful Inner Strength forming a cyclone around him with himself at the center of a small whirlwind.

This was the first time he had completely unleashed his Inner Strength.

Everyone outside the arena was shocked.

Especially Phoenix and Vermilion Bird, they simply couldn’t believe their eyes.

They would have never imagined that Ye Xiong’s Inner Strength had reached such a level.

He was only twenty-four years old. At what age did he start his Cultivation to achieve such a level of Inner Strength?

Empowered by Inner Strength, Ye Xiong’s speed had almost doubled from before. He turned into an agile tiger, launching an attack on Skeleton, myriad blades lights shaving off pieces of black cloth from his body, fluttering in the air.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Several slashes were made on Skeleton’s body in quick succession.

Even Skeleton’s hood was shaved off by him, revealing his true face.

Seeing Skeleton’s true appearance, many people covered their mouths.

Some of the more timid children even screamed.

One side of Skeleton’s face was intact, while the other half looked as if it had been eaten by something, leaving only shriveled skin looking like tree bark. That one green eye set within seemed like it was embedded in a tree, shocking and unbearable to witness at a glance.

Ye Xiong also didn’t expect Skeleton’s face to be like this.

“Devil!”

Among the crowd, a child’s voice was particularly loud; it was Youyou, who had been frightened by Skeleton’s face and screamed.

“Uncle Xiong, kill that devil.” Youyou shouted loudly.

“Hahaha!”

The Skeleton burst into loud laughter, his already ferocious face looking even more terrifying.

The sound was not so much angry as it was sorrowful.

His own daughter couldn’t recognize him, his own daughter called him a devil, what meaning was there left to live for?

“No one here today shall live,” the Skeleton pointed at the two Gene Warriors surrounding him, and commanded, “Transform, kill all the adults, and leave the children for experimentation.”

The two Gene Warriors immediately transformed into two-meter-tall giants and charged viciously into the crowd.

Ba Lei, with more than a dozen Men in Black, also came killing their way over.

In an instant, the scene descended into chaos.

Phoenix issued a command, “Two directors, take the children and go, everyone else, charge with me.”

In response, Vermilion Bird, Du Feng, Lu Long, and Luo Weiwei stepped forward to engage in the fray.

Ye Xiong analyzed the situation and found it to be very unfavorable.

The opponents had two Gene Warriors, and these warriors were even stronger than any he had seen before, coupled with Ba Lei and a dozen skilled Men in Black, they were bound to suffer huge losses if they continued fighting.

He had to act fast and take down the Skeleton.

Whoosh!

The Peerless Divine Weapon Aloof was drawn forth by Ye Xiong.

As soon as Aloof appeared, it brought a draft of cold light, its powerful murderous aura instinctively making the Skeleton retreat.

Ye Xiong didn’t take advantage of the situation to pursue; the Skeleton’s Nine Palaces Mystic Step was too unpredictable, it wouldn’t be easy to kill him swiftly, especially since he had not undergone Transformation. Right now, the most important thing was to eliminate the opponent’s reinforcements.

Turning into a shadow, Ye Xiong charged toward the two Gene Warriors.

With his Inner Strength fully unleashed and wielding an invincible Peerless Divine Weapon, he seemed unstoppable.

The first Gene Warrior had just transformed and had yet to strike when Ye Xiong used Aloof to sever his head.

Seeing this, the other Gene Warrior threw a fierce punch that sent Ye Xiong flying five or six meters away, tumbling on the ground.

Ye Xiong quickly got to his feet, disregarding his injuries, and charged again.

After enduring several heavy blows, he cut off the second Gene Warrior’s wrists, followed by his ankles, severing them entirely.

Without support, the Gene Warrior fell to the ground like a felled elephant.

In less than a minute, the two Gene Warriors, whose attack power was off the charts, were killed by Ye Xiong with all his might.

Ye Xiong coughed, feeling a rush of blood to his chest. The heavy hits from the second Gene Warrior had caused him internal injuries. It was in a state of injury that he had defeated his adversary.

Witnessing Ye Xiong standing next to the body of the Gene Warrior, clutching his bloody daggers and slowly rising to his feet, everyone around was stunned.

Especially the several policemen, who were utterly shocked.

They had always believed that Gene Warriors were invincible, that unless their heads were blown off with a gun, they couldn’t be killed.

But Ye Xiong’s actions showed them.

Humans could still defeat these monsters without guns, simply with sheer strength.

“Is this the real strength of our instructor? He’s incredibly powerful,” Lu Long sighed.

“In my whole life, I’ve never seen such a powerful person,” Du Feng couldn’t contain his amazement.

Even Phoenix saw Reaper unleashing his full firepower for the first time. In that state, he was like an indestructible Peerless Divine Weapon.

“Skeleton, it’s your turn now.”

Ye Xiong, holding his blood-drenched dagger, walked step by step toward him, saying coldly, “Transform, let me see what kind of monster you will become.”

“Since you want to see, I shall let you witness it before you die!” the Skeleton roared.
