Chapter 736: Not Strong Enough? I've Only Just Begun!

"Chen Ye! You..."

The moment Chen Ye spoke, Sun Xixi abruptly turned toward the direction of the voice.

Even the sword clouds above paused for a moment.

Those bright, large eyes seemed to want to see right through Chen Ye.

"Foolish woman, do you think I'm a human or an Anomaly?"

Sun Xixi stared at Chen Ye with intense focus, and in that instant, all the oppressive aura radiating from her body drained away completely.

The unstoppable female Sword Immortal from moments before suddenly felt wave after wave of exhaustion crash over her.

Yet the Pink-haired Girl kept her eyes locked on Chen Ye without so much as a blink, while teardrops the size of beans streamed down her cheeks like an opened faucet.

All that grievance, all that helplessness, all that resolve.

In that moment, they transformed into tiny shards of glass hidden within her tears, falling to the ground and vanishing without a trace!

As if she had lost all her strength, her entire body began to drop from the sky.

The sword clouds above disappeared in the blink of an eye, as cleanly as if they had never existed at all!

Chen Ye instantly transformed into smoke and vanished from his spot.

The next moment, he appeared in front of the Pink-haired Girl, trying to sweep her into his arms.

Damn, he'd finally reached Sequence 4, and this kind of idol-style entrance was exactly what matched his swagger.

It was just like those cheesy tropes from idol dramas, the male and female leads embracing each other, then a few close-up shots, and finally a spinning camera angle.

Though the Pink-haired Girl was utterly exhausted right now, the moment she saw Chen Ye transform into Green Smoke and rush toward her, she had already cast herself in the role of the female lead from those cheesy idol dramas.

Wei Butong watched with eyes burning red.

This kind of scene should be starring him as the protagonist, so why was it this guy?

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

And then...

The moment Chen Ye missed the Pink-haired Girl's falling body, his heart lurched in panic.

Damn it, the Sequence 4 Body Transformation into Blue Smoke ability was way faster than before, he wasn't familiar enough with it and overshot.

In Jiang Rou's eyes.

Chen Ye transformed into Green Smoke, then shot right past the descending Pink-haired Girl.

And then...

"Hmph!~~~"

The Pink-haired Girl crashed straight into the ground, letting out a muffled grunt, and promptly passed out cold.

Jiang Rou: "..."

Chen Ye: "..."

Wei Butong: "..."

While Jiang Rou was speechless, deep down she was also slightly startled by Chen Ye's speed from just now.

So fast, compared to herself, it might even be a bit quicker.

Moreover, the process of Body Transformation into Blue Smoke had become much faster than before as well.

In almost the blink of an eye, the One-eyed Guy had gone from Green Smoke back to human form.

Though the speed of this transformation wasn't obvious to the naked eye, it held tremendous significance in battle.

This One-eyed Guy in front of her seemed... different somehow.

With a brief sense, Jiang Rou discovered that this One-eyed Guy had actually risen to Sequence 4.

Sequence 4!!!

Jiang Rou's jaw dropped!

Hou Junji and Lin Qingge, along with the fair-skinned young man standing beside the Fat Pufferfish, all wore looks of utter disbelief.

Number Two slowly turned around, its two crimson flowers quivering slightly like a pair of eyes, sizing up the man before it.

In its eyes, this man seemed...

Very different!

"You... seem different!"

"Humans are truly fascinating. Perhaps I should get to know humans anew!"

"You and us, we really are very different!"

"Humans aren't all worthless after all!"

Chen Ye didn't bother answering Number Two's questions. He pulled a cigarette from his pocket, took out a lighter with his right hand, and lit it.

Even though he had risen to Sequence 4.

Chen Ye still didn't have much confidence facing Number Two right now.

Besides, dawn was approaching.

There wasn't enough time!

Even after rising to Sequence 4, the dead knot remained a dead knot!

After all, just now, so many Sequence 4s had ganged up on Xu Wan and could only manage that much. Now he was facing Number Two, who was far stronger than Xu Wan.

Relying on himself alone was truly a bit overconfident.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to step up.

The Monster Pickup Truck was wrecked, Hatred was wrecked too, so what other trump cards did he have left?

He couldn't even run!

What to do?

Fight?

Then fight!

Beside him, Wei Butong was in a completely different state of mind.

When he saw that Chen Ye was still alive, this young nobleman who had descended from the Sky Whale was genuinely shocked.

Even he found Number Two's abilities hard to handle.

Fortunately, Number Two didn't seem interested in him, otherwise, he wouldn't still be standing here.

But this guy was actually still alive.

Just moments ago, his aura had completely vanished.

How was he still alive?

And on top of that, facing such a terrifying Anomaly, Chen Ye showed not a trace of fear, he even lit up a cigarette.

What an incredible flex!!!

Note this down, next time, when I make my entrance, this is exactly how I'll do it.

But... but I don't know how to smoke!

Damn it!

Someone this composed should be me!

Wei Butong carefully observed every single move and gesture Chen Ye made, silently memorizing them all in his heart!

Preparing to use them when he made his next entrance.

Fierce jealousy surged through the young nobleman's heart.

Just then, Number Two began to move. It once again raised its withered, dried-up finger.

Its target was aimed directly at Chen Ye!

Chen Ye didn't dodge or evade. He simply raised his left hand and charged straight at Number Two.

The crimson demon hand radiated a thick, sticky red glow, trailing a long red ribbon through the air, the visual effect was absolutely sick!

The crimson demon hand clashed against Number Two's withered index finger.

That scalp-crawling, withered index finger!

Jiang Rou also watched the battlefield without blinking.

That man's left hand seemed somewhat off.

Wei Butong stared intently at Chen Ye. At this moment, he was both worried that Chen Ye couldn't defeat Number Two.

And worried that Chen Ye could defeat Number Two.

If Chen Ye couldn't defeat Number Two.

Then he would probably be doomed to die as well.

But if Chen Ye could defeat Number Two.

Then this man would be stealing way too much of the spotlight.

The reason he had crawled out of the Fat Pufferfish's mouth was because the Fat Pufferfish had already grown full of flowers. If he'd stayed inside, the only possibility was dying along with the Fat Pufferfish.

As for why he didn't flee, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but because he knew he couldn't escape.

He had been watching from the very beginning, Number Two's speed was something he knew he couldn't outrun.

Even Hou Junji, lying on the ground, and Lin Qingge were watching the clash on the battlefield with tense expressions.

So from start to finish, Wei Butong just stood there with an intense inner monologue raging.

Wanting to show off in front of everyone, yet feeling like he couldn't pull it off.

And the fear within his heart slowly bred and grew amid all that inner turmoil.

Chen Ye's brow twitched slightly as he cast a casual glance at Wei Butong, but this was no time to be distracted.

Chen Ye's sole focus on dealing with Number Two before him was the real priority.

When that familiar, colorless, formless Anomaly energy came surging in.

Chen Ye's demon claw erupted with crimson light, directly suppressing that invisible, shapeless Anomaly energy.

Truth be told, before raising his demon claw against Number Two's attack, Chen Ye wasn't even sure he could withstand it.

But a voice deep inside seemed to tell him he could!

So Chen Ye did exactly that!

One claw strike, straight at Number Two.

A barrier of flowers rapidly condensed in front of Number Two.

The demon claw grabbed onto the flower barrier, and in an instant, petals scattered into the air, once again forming a sea of flowers on the beach.

But Chen Ye's claw strike was ultimately blocked after all.

Number Two tilted its head in surprise, examining Chen Ye: "You're very strange, and a bit stronger than before, but... not enough!"

Chen Ye glanced at the blood moon in the sky, then looked at the few people lying on the ground.

"Not enough? I've only just begun!"
