Chapter 730: Chen Ye! Die!

That tall, gaunt figure moved with inconceivable speed. No matter which direction Wei Butong tried to flee, escape was impossible.

Number Two extended a finger toward Wei Butong and lightly tapped the air.

Wei Butong was startled and slapped the fat pufferfish beneath him.

The pufferfish instantly opened its massive mouth and swallowed Wei Butong whole in a single gulp.

At this moment, the giant pufferfish was nothing more than an escape pod for Wei Butong.

He knew very well that all his offensive abilities were likely useless against the creature before him.

Even coming from the Sky Whale wouldn't have made a difference.

That thing was far too powerful!

But just as he was being swallowed into the pufferfish's belly, Wei Butong suddenly sensed that the blood moon in the sky seemed to have undergone some kind of change.

Wei Butong was inside the pufferfish's mouth, yet he felt not a shred of safety. He nervously sensed the situation outside.

Through his perception, flower sprouts began appearing on the pufferfish's body.

Those flowers seemed to be growing directly on the pufferfish, as if they were treating it as a flower pot.

The flowers were beautiful, possessing a kind of eerie, bewitching beauty.

But his fat pufferfish was in agony, and he was suffering too.

Wei Butong realized it wasn't just his pufferfish that had started growing flowers.

Even on his own body, no, inside his body, something seemed to be trying to burrow its way out.

Accompanied by excruciating pain and terror, vivid blossoms burst forth.

But at that very moment, within Wei Butong's perception.

A blood moon shot in from the distance.

That's right, a blood moon.

It was the blood moon from the sky.

Red with an ominous, demonic hue!

As the blood moon approached, it grew larger and larger.

It seemed that with every inch it closed in, the blood moon expanded by an inch.

Danger!

Good heavens, who had torn the blood moon down from the sky?

How was this possible?

The blood moon drew closer...

Wei Butong didn't know how to describe what he was feeling, but at that moment, he knew nothing at all.

All he knew was red, everything was red.

But it seemed the blood moon's target wasn't him.

That blood moon grazed right past the edge of the fat pufferfish.

He didn't know how long had passed.

Wei Butong could feel that he was still alive.

Although a tiny flower bud had already appeared on the back of his hand, it wasn't a big problem.

It seemed things outside had also gone somewhat wrong.

"Huff... huff..."

Chen Ye gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently!

Blood Moon Summoning!

This was the last trump card he had left!

Since he couldn't escape anyway, why save it for later?

He had taken advantage of the moment when that skulking, hiding bastard was drawing Number Two's attention to use this move.

From now on, he was an ordinary person.

A completely and utterly ordinary person.

No, it didn't seem entirely like that.

Using Blood Moon Summoning this time felt a little different from the last time.

There still seemed to be a little bit of energy left in his left arm.

This should be the effect of practicing the Blood Moon First Set of Broadcast Calisthenics.

But what could that tiny bit of energy possibly do?

Was he supposed to kill Number Two with that?

Number Two wasn't dead!

After unleashing Blood Moon Summoning, it had indeed produced some effect on Number Two.

But it hadn't killed him at all.

Number Two was only slightly disheveled.

From the little garden carried on his back, many flower petals had been scattered, drifting slowly through the air.

His entire demeanor seemed somewhat wilted.

That shouldn't be right.

He was only Sequence 3, so how could he possibly have dealt damage to him?

"Indeed, you haven't disappointed me. You're a very unusual ant!"

"With you, I can always see something special!"

Number Two walked over slowly, carrying the flower-covered fat pufferfish.

"Although you're weak, you, this person, will be one of the parts worth remembering in my endless darkness to come."

Number Two walked slowly, speaking slowly.

Chen Ye gasped for air in great heaves.

He knew full well he couldn't kill the thing, but when backed into a corner with no way out, he had still used this move!

It was a stupid thing to do!

But he truly had no other choice.

"Human, do you... have anything else to help me pass the boring time?"

Number Two looked at Chen Ye and tossed the fat pufferfish to the ground.

Chen Ye still said nothing.

"You said, to kill you, I'd have to step over his corpse to do it!"

With that, Number Two genuinely stepped over Wei Butong's fat pufferfish.

Wei Butong, hidden inside the pufferfish's mouth, cursed endlessly. Of course, it was only inwardly.

Half of the cursing was directed at Chen Ye, and the other half at this Anomaly!

He had originally thought this would be a simple mission.

Who would have thought he'd end up dying here?

If it weren't for this Anomaly, those flowers wouldn't have killed him. With the abilities from the Sky Whale, troublesome as it might have been, he still wouldn't have died.

But this Anomaly refused to leave, and all his methods would prove useless.

He'd planned to show off in front of everyone.

But his first outing had ended in disaster!

Chen Ye forced a smile from the corner of his mouth: "He's... not... dead yet! So, he doesn't count as a corpse!"

Whatever, even living one more second was a win.

Chen Ye pointed at the pufferfish, which was clearly still full of vitality.

"Goddamn it..."

Wei Butong finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He cursed loudly from inside the pufferfish's mouth, though his voice couldn't fully carry out.

All Chen Ye could hear was a muffled stream of grumbling curses.

Number Two looked at the still-twitching pufferfish and shook his head: "I'm an Anomaly. My words can't be trusted. I've now decided I'll just kill you after all!"

Number Two extended that withered finger once more.

Such a tiny ant, one that took him multiple attempts to finally kill, was enough to make him proud.

That finger seemed to carry a mysterious energy.

Chen Ye felt as though he had been chosen by some kind of mystical force.

It was a power that could not be defied in any way.

This time, Chen Ye had no other tricks left.

Every ability he could use had been used.

Blood Eye?

Don't be ridiculous!

The Blood Eye couldn't even handle Xu Wan, let alone him?

A group of human faces burst out from the sandy ground, seemingly trying to attack Number Two.

These human faces were a piece Chen Ye had buried when the battle started, hoping they might achieve something miraculous.

Unfortunately, there just hadn't been any opportunity to use them.

But before those faces could even crawl up Number Two's body.

They transformed into blossoms and fell onto the beach.

Still no effect!

A wasted piece.

Chen Ye raised his left hand feebly. There was still the last trace of Supernatural Power in it.

Driven by that Supernatural Power, his entire left arm began to faintly glow red.

Perhaps due to insufficient Supernatural Power, the redness on his left arm wasn't all that intense.

That mysterious force spread into his left hand, filling it from the palm outward.

Then it reached his forearm, then his upper arm, then his entire body.

Chen Ye froze for a moment, then felt many things appearing inside his body.

It seemed something had taken root within him.

Those things pierced through his five organs and six viscera, then through his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

They were madly absorbing the blood, flesh, and fat from his body.

Chen Ye stared blankly at his left hand.

A tiny sprout tore open a hole in the skin of his arm, then burst through his clothes. On the surface of the fabric, a verdant, emerald-green shoot revealed itself.

A fresh green sprout, quite beautiful to look at!

So out of place in this apocalypse!

The fresh green sprout began to grow a flower bud. A yellow flower bud.

A very small flower.

A faint golden light appeared at the edge of the sky.

So, the night was finally about to end.

This night had taken everything from him!

More flowers began to sprout from Chen Ye's body.

More and more!

Chen Ye felt the strength draining from his body. It seemed that with every flower that bloomed, his Life Force was also ebbing away.

Something was leaving his body.

They said that before death, a person would see their entire life flash before their eyes.

Chen Ye hadn't quite believed it before, but now...

Chen Ye saw the days of being a beast of burden before the apocalypse, those times he never wanted to think about again.

He also saw Zhou Lan from back then, and Old Bao...

The people he had met, the people he missed, appeared before his eyes one by one, as if saying their final goodbyes.

Chen Ye felt he could no longer stand, but he didn't want to kneel.

Staggering, he fell backward with the sea breeze.

The blooming flowers on his body were crushed to pieces as he fell flat on his back. Some petals drifted up with the sea breeze.

This time, no one held a funeral for Chen Ye.

Only the sea breeze came to hold his funeral.

There were no guests at the scene!

Clearly, golden sunlight at the edge of the sky was still painting the clouds a brilliant gold.

But he couldn't see it anymore.

His vision grew darker and darker, until he sank into deep darkness.

Darker and darker!

Chen Ye!

Dies!
