As the Black Sword returned to Yuan Dui's hand, it was clear that he was also sweating. At that moment, Yuan Dui thought to himself, "The Soul Severing Sword truly consumes spiritual power at an alarming rate. If I hadn't previously used the eerie energy from fourteen Black Coffins to practice, this move of launching the sword from a distance would have left me blind!"
However, with the Soul Severing Sword in hand, Yuan Dui felt he had the upper hand. Especially since Xiao Yefeng's dual daggers had already been severed by the Soul Severing Sword. Now, as he charged forward with the sword, Xiao Yefeng had no way to defend himself. Within the Spirit Platform, Kitagawa's Shikigami reappeared. The Shikigami Blade was now riddled with cracks, yet it was the only thing capable of blocking the Black Sword.
Clang! Clang! After exchanging blows for several rounds, the Shikigami Blade finally vanished. This was a true disappearance; Xiao Yefeng had not used his own spiritual power to sustain it. Indeed, the Shikigami Blade had been nearly destroyed before, and under the pressure of the Soul Severing Sword, it finally exhausted its last bit of strength and disappeared.
Seeing Xiao Yefeng lose his weapon, Yuan Dui immediately activated his dark spiritual power again. Suddenly bursting forth, Yuan Dui finally achieved his first success in their battle. He quickly maneuvered behind Xiao Yefeng and took advantage of his unpreparedness to strike a palm against Xiao Yefeng's back. It wasn't that Yuan Dui was being merciful by not using the Soul Severing Sword; rather, he didn't have enough distance to stab down after raising it. The reaction time was just enough for Xiao Yefeng to evade if he had tried to counterattack, so Yuan Dui could only choose to deliver a palm strike.
Xiao Yefeng let out a muffled groan as he was sent flying, crashing into a rock before coming to a stop. The strike was vicious; Yuan Dui's palm contained spiritual power that sealed Xiao Yefeng's Shao Yang San Jiao Jing, leaving his entire right arm numb. Unless he could dispel the spiritual power left within him by Yuan Dui, Xiao Yefeng wouldn't be able to use his right arm.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng scrambled to his feet and formed a sword gesture with his right hand, quickly pressing on several key points on his body to seal Yuan Dui's spiritual power within his Shao Yang San Jiao Jing. He wasn't considering whether this would cause harm; he simply couldn't allow the destructive Qi to enter other meridians.
"Kid, regretting it yet? Beg for mercy! If you do, I'll let you off!" Yuan Dui boasted arrogantly. With the Soul Severing Sword in hand, he felt justified in his arrogance.
Ignoring Yuan Dui's taunts, Xiao Yefeng activated Heart Decision. The spiritual power containing Arc within him spun rapidly as it surged through his meridians towards the blocked Qi in his San Jiao channels. Yuan Dui's Qi was thick like a fortress wall; however, Xiao Yefeng's spiritual power acted like an electric drill. The battle within his meridians was anything but comfortable; at that moment, Xiao Yefeng's San Jiao channels became a battlefield.
Sweat dripped down from Xiao Yefeng's cheeks as he suddenly stood up with a roar. The tattoo patterns on his back reappeared due to his racing heartbeat. As the tattoos emerged, fish scale patterns appeared as well, and simultaneously, changes occurred in Xiao Yefeng's genes once more. This time, due to his pulse racing violently, uncontrollable changes began to manifest again.
"Is that you?" At that moment, Mo Fei caught a glimpse of Xiao Yefeng's condition and exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the beastification changes on his bare upper body.
Hearing Mo Fei's words, Xiao Yefeng frowned and replied, "Let's finish this first!" He had always been resistant to revealing his current state; after all, unlike normal people, this genetic mutation was something he did not want others to see. Now faced with Yuan Dui's Black Sword pressing him hard enough that he had no choice but to expose his trump card.
Similarly, Xiao Yefeng's transformation did not go unnoticed by Yuan Dui and Thompson. Thompson stared at Xiao Yefeng in shock before saying, "So it's true—this kid has enhanced wolf genes! I didn't expect them to have already reached out towards the East." Although there was still a murderous intent in Thompson's eyes, there was also a hint of admiration in his tone.
On the other side, Yuan Dui was even more astonished by Xiao Yefeng's transformation. At that moment, only one thought occupied Yuan Dui's mind: how could this happen? How could a Gene Warrior appear in this person? Had the Zodiac failed to manage their own?
However, Mo Fei understood everything about Xiao Yefeng now. Touching the pinhole left when he departed from the Zodiac years ago, Mo Fei realized the truth. Back then, when Mo Fei received the injection, he had thought that the people from the Zodiac wanted to kill him. Confused, he was released after examination. Although he didn't understand it at the time and his body showed no changes, Mo Fei dismissed it as a pointless experiment. It wasn't until he saw Xiao Yefeng's transformation that he realized there had indeed been a problem with that experiment.
Sharp claws sprang forth like a spring-loaded knife, while the Condemnation Arc flowed through Xiao Yefeng's veins, constantly urging him to remain calm. Unlike previous bouts of murderous rage, Xiao Yefeng had truly mastered genetic enhancement at this moment.
Moreover, having broken through Yuan Dui's spiritual barrier, Xiao Yefeng's right arm had already recovered. After moving it a bit and finding no issues, he noticed that Yuan Dui was equally surprised that Xiao Yefeng had managed to break his blockade so quickly. With a raised eyebrow, Yuan Dui returned to normal, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Xiao Yefeng.
Without a word, Yuan Dui charged again with the Black Sword in hand. This time, enhanced by genetic amplification, Xiao Yefeng was fully capable of defending himself. As they exchanged blows, Xiao Yefeng found himself invigorated by the fight. The exhilarating battle caused his bloodline to swell even further. Having become familiar with Yuan Dui's tactics, Xiao Yefeng found it easier to respond.
In contrast, Yuan Dui began to face some issues. With his upper body bare, Xiao Yefeng's muscles were covered in a layer of slick scales. Each time the Black Sword struck him three times in quick succession, it would slide off his scaled skin as if it were greased, giving an impression of being impossible to grip.
"Zzz!"
"Bang!"
As they exchanged blows, Yuan Dui's Black Sword grazed Xiao Yefeng's shoulder. The scales deflected the blade just enough for it to leave a shallow cut on his shoulder, crimson blood flowing out. However, in his genetically activated state, the wound healed rapidly; as soon as blood began to flow, it was already starting to clot.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng delivered a palm strike to Yuan Dui's chest. This blow also carried spiritual energy and served as payback; Xiao Yefeng sealed off Yuan Dui's Lesser Yang Meridian. Similar to what he had done earlier, Yuan Dui quickly closed several key acupoints on his body. But unlike Xiao Yefeng, Yuan Dui did not dare forcefully break through the spiritual blockade; not only was he unable to do so at that moment but he also lacked the courage. As a regular technique practitioner Geomancer, how could his physique compare to that of Xiao Yefeng?
At this moment, Yuan Dui resembled an injured beast. Holding the Black Sword upside down with his left hand while pressing against his wounded chest with the other, he frowned as he looked at Xiao Yefeng. That last exchange was all too familiar for him. Now holding the sword in one hand and forming a seal with the other, Yuan Dui pulled out a pale gold talisman imbued with black from within his robes. He then pointed his sword at it.
Instantly, the Yellow Talisman ignited in Symbol Fire. In the dark night sky came a piercing scream that echoed like an Evil Spirit from Nine Hells. Following that sound were numerous rustling noises from trees being scraped against. In this state of genetic activation, Xiao Yefeng’s Yin-Yang Eye was once again enhanced and granted him night vision capabilities. He soon spotted a humanoid figure cloaked in black rushing towards him on all fours.
"Child, I may not be as good as you in one-on-one combat, but don't forget, my specialty is the Reanimation Technique!" Yuan Dui said sharply, but Xiao Yefeng showed no signs of backing down.
With a powerful push from his feet, Xiao Yefeng charged directly at Yuan Dui, his sharp claws slicing through Yuan Dui's outstretched arm. Blood dripped onto the ground, and just as Xiao Yefeng prepared to strike at Yuan Dui's throat with a backhanded claw, an unexpected change occurred. A real beast's claw lunged out at an angle, raking across Xiao Yefeng's chest, followed by a powerful body crashing into him.
The immense inertia sent Xiao Yefeng flying four or five meters away. However, thanks to his agile body enhanced by genetic activation, he managed to flip mid-air and landed steadily on the ground. As he looked up at the creature that had collided with him, he noticed the scales on its chest were scratched and three deep claw marks marred his own skin. Although a trickle of blood seeped out, it was not serious. What concerned Xiao Yefeng was the creature itself. Its head was shrouded in a hood, obscuring its features, but from the low growls emanating from it, Xiao Yefeng could tell it was human. Yet there was something strange about its hands.
The hands resembled those of a fierce tiger, with claws over an inch long. The skin on its arms was a mottled yellow and black, giving off a wild beastly aura. Most importantly, after ambushing Xiao Yefeng, it crouched on all fours—what kind of posture was that?
Seeing the claw marks on Xiao Yefeng's chest, Yuan Dui raised his arm and pointed at him. "How about that? Not bad for a fellow Gene Warrior!"
"Is he really a Gene Warrior?" Xiao Yefeng exclaimed in shock!
Looking at this being that was seven parts human and three parts beast—let's just call him human for now—Xiao Yefeng couldn't see any resemblance to a typical Gene Warrior. If this creature was indeed a Gene Warrior, he couldn't imagine what he would become in the future; did it mean he would turn into such a monster?
"Haha! This is the first generation of Gene Warriors. Since you are both Gene Warriors, let me see! You, who have just activated your genes, are you a match for this beastman?" Yuan Dui said as he waved his hand and sent a Spirit Talisman into the back of the creature lying on the ground.
As the Spirit Talisman entered its body, the creature that had been growling suddenly arched its back and lunged at Xiao Yefeng like a ferocious tiger. Its speed and strength far exceeded Xiao Yefeng's expectations. At that moment, all Xiao Yefeng could do was retreat. After dodging the attack, he swept his leg towards the creature's forearm.
