Chapter 109: Chapter 109

Even as his body was nearly embedded between the rocky layers and giant roots, Yi Chen’s expression bore a strange smile.

This was the first time he had used his weapon’s “Full Moon Form” against an enemy, and the sight of the Moon Seal on the Village Chief’s neck meant the attack had already taken effect.

He had never thought he could kill the Village Chief with a single strike—it was always meant to be a battle of endurance.

Being attacked in midair was also within expectations

A “Palm Strike” with a larger area of impact like the one just now was a luck-dependent option, Yi Chen could utilize muscle contraction and body rotation to perform a Receiving Body in midair.

Apart from a broken rib and a slight shock to his internal organs, the situation was still relatively good.

“Hmm? Strange… why isn’t the Village Chief attacking yet?”

According to Yi Chen’s estimation, he had to move quickly, or the Village Chief’s enormous boots would crush this place beneath his foot.

But as he found his footing among the wall craters and saw what was happening outside, his eyes widened in shock!

He burst into full speed immediately, charging toward the Village Chief, ready to exploit the vulnerability caused by the moonlight to execute him and sever the umbilical cord inside his body, leaving no chance for any resistance.

However… he was still one step too slow.

The umbilical cord drilled out from the Village Chief’s navel, just like the last time.

The cord wrapped around the Village Chief’s neck, forming a “hanging state,” as a renewed power not belonging to the Village Chief coursed through his entire body.

Not only were the torn openings on his back rapidly repaired,

even the Moon Seal scars that Yi Chen had painstakingly branded on the surface of his skin were slowly growing new flesh, rapidly closing up, and the moon rats covering the Village Chief’s body were also dispersing.

The rejuvenation that came with the umbilical cord was counteracting the moonlight.

Without hesitation, Yi Chen continued his charge, wielding the axe with his single arm, switching to the most aggressive “Slaughter Form”.

“The chance is only in the present. If the Village Chief recovers, both Lene and I will die here! I must cut off this nearly cheating umbilical cord before his body fully recovers.”

his gaze firmly locking onto the umbilical cord around the Village Chief’s neck,

His body bent backward in a bow shape and tensed up, storing the power between his muscles,

The Village Chief, who had been bowing his head, suddenly turned it sideways, glaring at Yi Chen with crimson eyes,

His arms also lifted, his terrifying physical speed fully restored!

The exaggeratedly large hand blocked in front of Yi Chen, with spread fingers almost covering the view… The palms also regrew the structure of steel and rock layers, with hardness restored as well!

The Village Chief was very confident in his physical body,

He was sure he could block the impending chop and simultaneously catch Yi Chen’s head and crush it!

Yi Chen’s brain also completed the analysis of the current situation, deducing that he would likely die here, with no time left for lengthy last words, only managing to convey a brief message to the companion inside him.

“Little Grape, if I die! Remember to take my body back to the Twilight Clinic for burial; we might see each other again someday.”

After this message was conveyed, there was no verbal response,

but instead, a surge of extremely strong heartbeats came through, accompanied by an infusion of life essence throughout his body, even causing some black hair to grow on the surface of Yi Chen’s arms.

A strand of moonlight as thick as a finger actually managed to penetrate the high wall and seep into such deep underground roots, falling precisely onto the surface of the axe blade.

The Slaughter Form’s axe blade immediately wrapped in a strange layer of moonlight, as if merging two forms of the weapon into one.

Like a pale moon dripping with bloody tears, it arced through the air,

cutting through all the hard substances in front, breaking everything,

The hand covered with a mixture of rock and steel layers and the entire outstretched arm,

The Village Chief’s shocked face and the umbilical cord looped around his neck,

The torso, muscle layers, and the organs hidden inside,

Yi Chen’s figure slid diagonally through the air, landing on one knee!

One second after he fell,

Thump! The Village Chief’s half of the body also slid down, splashing up a large amount of foul mud.

Perhaps it was through the joint training with the Twilight Clinic and this mission that his physical body kept growing while being damaged and fighting desperately,

Perhaps his physique had transformed and further sculpted through actual combat,
