Chapter 517 You Depend on Mutation While I Depend on…Cultivation!

Boom!Elder Hiroshi’s body was unsurprisingly sent flying. He flew through the air, drawing a beautiful arc, and crash-landed on the wall in the distance, punching a human-shaped dent into the sturdy wall!

Dust was everywhere!

They then looked at Ye Lingchen, who did not move an inch!

He maintained his punching posture, standing right there like an unwavering pine tree!

Gulp!

In the hall, everyone could not help but swallow hard. Their lips were trembling, unsure of what to say.

“He won’t be able to endure even one move!” Elder Hiroshi’s boastful words seemed to be still echoing in their ears, yet the sudden change of events turned out to be quite pathetic.

Tsune Takeshi’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets with his mouth agape. Elder Hiroshi’s grandeur and pride was still fresh in his mind. If not for the unsuitable situation, he would have retorted with, ‘Don’t act tough or get thunderstruck!’

“Cough cough cough.”

As the dust settled, Elder Hiroshi could be heard coughing lightly, attracting their attention.

They saw him with his white hair disheveled and blood around the edges of his mouth. His fist was drooping with mangled digits. Even the muscles on his shoulders were torn apart. His body trembled as he looked at Ye Lingchen, his gaze was filled with utter disbelief.

However, under such power, he still managed to survive!

“Hehe…wonderful. Just wonderful!” Elder Hiroshi’s voice was hoarse. His eyes were bloodshot. Although he looked pitiful, he seemed to be welling up with a mysterious energy. “I didn’t expect you to achieve such a level in martial arts. In that aspect, I, Hiroshi, will admit that you’re the strongest!”

After his standard bragging attempt, his body started to show weird signs of changes.

“This… How’s this possible?” Everyone, including Tsune Takeshi, was staring at him wide-eyed in disbelief. His body was slowly recovering from those terrible wounds!

Although it may seem slow, it was a slow speed that was visible to the naked eye. It was extremely amazing!

Within 20 seconds, the terrible wounds on his body were fully recovered, as though he was never hurt before. The bleeding had stopped as well. However, in exchange, his body started growing green colored scales and his skin started to turn rough.

“You should be proud of forcing me to be in my non-human form.” Elder Hiroshi’s voice turned ugly. He was like a beast trying to speak a human language. His voice caused everyone’s hair to stand on end.

Rip!

Suddenly, his skin ripped open. The originally scrawny arm disappeared and was replaced with a thick dark green arm with sharp claws!

‘Lizard? Monitor lizard?’

Ye Lingchen’s brows twitched.

Elder Hiroshi’s traits were obviously one of a man-lizard hybrid. Even his pupils changed into one that looked like a lizard.

Boom!

The next instant, Elder Hiroshi’s body dashed forward suddenly at a speed that was difficult to follow. It was like a monitor lizard hunting its prey. With a blur, his body had already appeared in front of Ye Lingchen!

His huge lizard-like claws were bigger than a human’s head. Its sharp claws glinted creepily as it formed a fist that was aimed at Ye Lingchen!

‘This brat…needs to die!’

After multiple failed attempts at boasting, Elder Hiroshi’s rage was boiling over. Only by completely crushing Ye Lingchen would allow him to regain his throne as the king of boasting!

The fearsomeness of a monitor lizard required no explanation. Once it was fused with a human, its increase in power could only be described as explosive!

Although the previous group of people was also fused with the strength of a beast, they were not at the same level as Elder Hiroshi!

It was visible to the naked eye that a burning wave of energy was flowing within those claws. That…was the inner force!

When the strength and speed of a wild beast paired with the inner force of a martial artist working in tandem with the intelligence of a human, its power could only be described as terrifying beyond comparison!

“Hahaha, open your eyes and observe well. It’s not that I like to boast, but I am truly that amazing!” Elder Hiroshi was exhilarated as he roared. At that moment, he felt that he could destroy the entire floor with a single punch!

“Interesting!”

Ye Lingchen’s expression turned serious, his gaze chilling. He once again raised his hand and sent a fist straight at Elder Hiroshi!

His fist was puny compared to Elder Hiroshi. It was like a comparison between beauty and the beast. If such a scene were to be recorded, it would definitely be an epic level sci-fi film that needed no special effects!

Bang!

A stronger impact force spread outward. The calm air in the room immediately transformed into a hurricane, cutting at its surrounding like a razor blade!

“H-h-how is this possible?!”

Elder Hiroshi, Tsune Takeshi, and everyone else was completely stunned!

Ye Lingchen remained unmoving!

Such a terrifying strength was already sufficient to shake them to the core. Moreover, Ye Lingchen was just a human. How did he muster such strength?

“Impossible! This is impossible!” Elder Hiroshi immediately changed to a crazed expression. “I’ve gone through the most detailed calculations. Humans are naturally born weak. Their body strength and limitations are no match for wild beasts. How did you gain such strength?”

Boom, boom, boom…

They continued to trade blows. At first, they seemed evenly matched. However, as time passed, Elder Hiroshi’s body was being pushed back!

As he was pushed back, Elder Hiroshi’s body crashed into the tea table, sofa, and other furniture. All the things that he touched were quickly crushed to bits and sent flying!

His shock grew as the blows continued. Elder Hiroshi was not in control of his movements, and he finally crashed into the wall once more, causing a crack to appear!

Pfft!

He spat out a mouthful of blood as he trembled under the serious injuries he had taken!

Although he could depend on the lizard form to recover his wounds, its ability had a limit. It was unable to endure such a horrifying assault.

Elder Hiroshi’s eyes were completely taken over by an indescribable fear.

To him, Ye Lingchen could not be considered a human, but instead something more monstrous than him.

“How can you be this strong?” Elder Hiroshi was unable to accept reality.

He was a martial artist who borrowed the strength of a monitor lizard. It allowed him to cover the shortcomings of both sides and turn him into an unrivaled existence, declaring himself a god. How could he be defeated by a mere human?

“You depend on mutation, while I depend on…cultivation!” Ye Lingchen smiled and answered calmly. He grabbed Elder Hiroshi’s lizard arm and twisted it, causing a sickening cracking sound.

“Oh my goodness, t-t-that’s just crazy!”

Tsune Takeshi was dumbfounded, crying out in astonishment. He then ran toward the sixth floor. The others were not slow either. Looking at the situation at hand, they quickly retreated!

“Elder Hiroshi caused quite a lot of trouble for me. He should just admit that he’s no match. Why must he act like he’s the best in the world? He’s going to get me killed!” Tsune Takeshi was terrified. At that moment, only one thing mattered to him—escape!

‘Trying to run?’

Ye Lingchen’s brows twitched, then kicked at the broken tiles on the floor. Under his strength, those shards turned into the sharpest secret weapon in the world as it shot toward the escapees with a sonic boom!

Sphhhlt!

The shards buried itself in the throat of one of the workers, piercing right through it.

Within five seconds, all six workers were killed!

By then, Tsune Takeshi was already at the top of the stairs.

“You can’t kill me. If I died, Amaterasu Genetics will not let the world enjoy its peace!” Tsune Takeshi’s voice was shrill and filled with fear.

Ye Lingchen’s gaze turned serious. Without wasting time for words, he casually kicked a piece of wooden board around him, sending it flying toward Tsune Takeshi like a blade!

Tsune Takeshi was filled with dread and shifted his body to the side. That wooden board went right through his arm and cut it off completely!

“Ahh!”

He emitted a terrified shriek. The excruciating pain almost caused him to pass out. However, he did not dare to stop for the slightest. Without even looking back, he continued his escape upward!

Boom!

At the same time, Elder Hiroshi threw away his concerns and traded punches with Ye Lingchen once more. He then dragged his heavily injured body up to the sixth floor with all four of his limbs on the ground. Looking at him from behind, he did resemble a huge lizard.

Elder Hiroshi gritted his teeth as he breathed heavily, almost like a beast on its deathbed.

His mind was inundated with fear, unwillingness, and disbelief.

He had lived for so many years and lorded over others all his life with all that confidence and pride. It was as though he stood at the edge of the clouds and looked down on everything else. At that moment, he was suddenly thrown into hell!

How funny that he was laughing at Ye Lingchen being an ant just earlier, thinking that he could easily squash Ye Lingchen to death… It turned out that he was the real ant. He was a joke right from the start.

Ye Lingchen launched a wooden stick as he gave chase to the sixth floor!

That stick pierced through Elder Hiroshi’s body from the back, but he was able to endure it and continue his escape due to his powerful life force. Crawling on all fours, his speed was extremely quick!

The sixth floor was also the highest level. At that moment, the rooftop of the building was opened. Within it was an aircraft!

Both Elder Hiroshi and Tsune Takeshi were inside the aircraft. It was in the middle of taking off.

“Ye Lingchen, if you’re bent on killing us, then there will be a lot of people dying with us!” Tsune Takeshi shouted like his life depended on it. His mouth was filled with blood. Due to the excessive bleeding, his face was white as a sheet of paper.

Right after that, he pressed a red button!

Boom!

The entire building shook and opened up like a cage!

“Roar!”

Under the calm night sky, the roars of beasts suddenly filled the air, cutting through the calmness of the night like the sound of a grim reaper!

“Ye Lingchen, this building has a basement. They are all the beasts that survived our experimentations. Although they can only be considered incomplete projects or failures, their strength is much better than regular beasts. Moreover, they are without any intelligence and only know how to kill. We have just released all of them!” Elder Hiroshi interjected with another roar.

At that moment, the aircraft had already lifted off the ground.

Putting aside Ye Lingchen’s ability to board the aircraft, it would be difficult for him to control the situation if he did. Within that time, the destruction caused by these beasts would be incomprehensible!

Most importantly, the warehouse next door still contained many infants!

In that short moment of hesitation, the aircraft was already flying off to the distance. All that was left was a resentful statement from Elder Hiroshi. “Just you wait. I’ll be back…”
