My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 424: Battle with the Serpent – Part 2 (1 Chapter Batch-1)

“I know,” Phoenix replied.

“Then do you know that if something happens to you, I would be very upset?”

Phoenix gave him a glance and scolded, “Hasn’t Yang Xinyi’s incident taught you anything? Do you want to hit rock bottom again?”

“I’m just expressing concern. Aren’t you thinking too much?” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

Without paying him any attention, Phoenix gripped her dagger and struck at the Serpent.

No sooner had she moved than the Serpent locked onto her, knowing she was weaker than Ye Xiong. It turned into a yellow blur, darting towards her.

...

Phoenix was flustered by the attack and even sustained some minor injuries, retreating into a nearby tea room.

Ye Tongtong, still lacking in experience, thought she could quickly finish off Phoenix. Without further thought, she followed right in.

At that moment, Ye Xiong burst into the tea room behind her, raising his blade to stab at the Serpent’s back.

The Serpent reacted, ready to flee, only to realize it was surrounded by walls and had been trapped.

Unfortunately, it had no way out and had to confront Ye Xiong head-on.

“Phoenix, guard the door. Don’t let her escape. Today, I must peel off her snake skin,” he declared.

His body exuding a powerful aura of murderous intent that filled the air, Ye Xiong’s strength erupted. Clutching the Cold Ink Dagger, he rushed ferociously forward.

With the Nine Palaces Mystic Step already being one of the strongest close-combat techniques, coupled with the Peerless Divine Weapon and Ye Xiong’s incomparably better combat experience, his advantage fully unleashed in the confined space.

Conversely, the Serpent was limited in the small room, its greatest advantage of speed severely reduced.

Already fearful of Ye Xiong, Ye Tongtong lost her fighting spirit in a panic.

As his momentum surged and hers waned, Ye Xiong quickly gained the upper hand.

“Ye Tongtong, do you know what I hate the most in my life? It’s people using my wife to threaten me,” he said fiercely.

With a fierce stab, he plunged the knife into the Serpent’s back and yanked it through.

A deep gash opened on the Serpent’s back, blood gushing forth.

In pain, the Serpent hissed and its long nails slashed towards Ye Xiong’s neck.

With a swing of his Divine Weapon, Ye Xiong severed the Serpent’s wrist, and the severed hand still writhed on the ground in a horrifying spectacle.

In close-quarters combat, the gap between Ye Tongtong and Ye Xiong was more than vast.

“The combat effectiveness of a Gene Warrior is based on their own strength. Even if you were a first-generation Gene Warrior, you’re nothing but trash,” Ye Xiong stated.

“Ye Jun, you won’t die a good death,” the Serpent roared angrily.

“Even if I don’t, you won’t be around to see it,” he retorted.

Ye Xiong drove the dagger fiercely into her other hand, pinning her palm to the wall.

The Serpent’s upper body instantly lost any ability to attack.

The Serpent’s feet lashed out viciously towards Ye Xiong’s legs, aiming to cripple his lineage.

Ye Xiong stepped down, pinning her foot in place. Now the Serpent had no power left to resist.

Hiss!

The Serpent spat its long tongue at Ye Xiong.

Smack!

A punch landed on her face, smashing her against the wall.

“Try sticking your tongue out again, and see if I don’t cut it off,” he threatened.

The Serpent dared not stick out its tongue any longer, staring fiercely at Ye Xiong with deep resentment.

“I’m going to ask you a few questions now. If you answer them, I’ll grant you a quick death,” he offered.

“I’ve withstood the agony of Gene Warrior experiments; do you think I fear your torture?” the Serpent snorted coldly.

“In that case, I’ll just have to sever your limbs and leave you at the front of the middle school you once attended. Let your classmates see the sorry state of the once glorious Ye Tongtong,” he threatened.

Everyone has their own weaknesses, even those who are not afraid of death.

Someone like Ye Tongtong, who used to be so arrogant in school, definitely wouldn’t want others to see her in this inhuman and ghostly state.

Especially not the male classmates she once had a crush on.

“Bastard, if you have the guts, kill me,” Ye Tongtong roared angrily.

“It seems you don’t want to cooperate with me.”

Ye Xiong drew another dagger and cut off the other hand of the Serpent, who was pinned to the wall, leaving the Serpent with both hands severed and no ability to attack.

Next, Ye Xiong disabled both legs of the Serpent and then threw her to the ground.

“Ye Jun, kill me.”

“You won’t die a good death, I curse you to suffer an awful end.”

“You goddamn bastard.”

The Serpent lay on the ground, cursing loudly.

“I’ve sworn so many oaths myself and none ever came true.”

Noticing a large marker on the table nearby, Ye Xiong picked it up and wrote a line of large characters on the back of the Serpent.

“The once arrogant Ye Tongtong.”

Ye Xiong wrote swiftly, “This handwriting isn’t bad; quite a few classmates will gather to see this.”

Ye Tongtong was completely defeated. She knew there was no hope for her, but to be humiliated in this way before dying was too shameful.

“What do you want to ask?” Ye Tongtong was subdued.

“Where is Long Lan?” Ye Xiong asked.

“I don’t know where she is. She told me you were here and asked me to seek revenge on you. That’s all I know.”

“Is she in Capital City?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Where did you undergo the Gene Warrior experiment?”

“I don’t know.”

“It seems you’re not ready to have a proper talk,” Ye Xiong said as he grabbed her tail and started walking out.

“I’m not lying to you, I really don’t know. Long Lan gave me a phone number and asked me to contact someone called ‘Professor.’ I called and the Professor arranged to meet me somewhere in Capital City. When I arrived, someone knocked me out. When I woke up, I found myself in a huge laboratory.”

“What were the features of that laboratory?” Phoenix asked hurriedly.

“I only saw that the ceiling of the laboratory was very high, at least twenty or thirty meters, with a metallic roof. That’s all I saw before I passed out again.”

“And then?”

“Then I had genes implanted. During that time, I was in a state between sleep and wakefulness. When I finally woke up completely, I was in a house in G Province with Long Lan beside me. She told me to come back and take revenge on you.”

Ye Xiong exchanged a shocked look with Phoenix.

“The place where she underwent the Gene Warrior experiment is very likely the Beast Organization’s headquarters in Xia Hua,” Phoenix said seriously.

The Dragon Group had been searching for many years and still knew nothing about this base. If they could find and destroy this base, the Beast Organization’s foundation in Huaxia would be utterly ruined.

“Besides that, did you notice anything else?” Ye Xiong continued to ask.

“The air seemed a bit moist, I don’t know if it was because of the air conditioning.”

Next, Ye Xiong asked many questions about the Beast Organization’s base, but Ye Tongtong didn’t know much.

“I’ve answered what I could; please, just end it quickly!” Ye Tongtong said.

“Dragon Group has always been looking for Gene Warriors to study. To let you die so easily would be a waste,” Ye Xiong replied.

“Ye Jun, you treacherous little…,” Ye Tongtong yelled.

Ye Xiong threw a punch and knocked her out.
