Shua—
Chen Xiao’s sword strike severed Jin Zaishi’s head from his body.
His enormous head rolled a considerable distance across the ground.
Witnessing this, Guan Shilan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before she could fully recover her breath, she saw Jin Zaishi’s neck begin to stretch, reaching for his head.
Countless fine flesh buds sprouted from the severed connection between his head and neck.
These flesh buds were like tiny hands, tightly grasping each other.
In the blink of an eye, Jin Zaishi’s head had reconnected with his neck.
After retracting his neck, he appeared normal again.
No, he wasn’t normal.
There had been a slight mishap when Jin Zaishi’s neck and head reconnected; his back of the head was now facing forward, and his face backward.
But this didn’t trouble Jin Zaishi. He first detached his head, turned it around, and reattached it.
This time, he finally appeared normal.
“Heh heh heh, you surnamed Chen brat, stop wasting your energy. Just obediently let me devour you! I am immortal, no matter what you do, you can’t kill me!”
Guan Shilan was utterly despairing. She hadn’t expected Jin Zaishi’s head to reattach after being severed.
Just as Jin Zaishi claimed, he was indeed immortal.
Even if Chen Xiao was incredibly powerful, it was useless if he couldn’t kill him.
“This is what you call immortality? Your Gaogou people really know how to brag!”
Chen Xiao sneered dismissively and swung his sword again. Jin Zaishi’s head fell once more…
But this time, Guan Shilan felt no prior excitement. She knew Jin Zaishi’s head would be reattached soon.
“Heh heh heh, I already told you it’s useless, yet you’re still wasting your energy… Ah—”
Just as Jin Zaishi’s neck was halfway extended, a flash of red light erupted from Chen Xiao’s eyes. A Qilin Fire blast descended, incinerating Jin Zaishi’s head into ashes…
Jin Zaishi, now headless, spun a few times before crashing to the floor with a thud.
He did not get up again.
Chen Xiao gave him a few extra minutes, and only when he was certain Jin Zaishi had completely lost all life did he say to Guan Shilan, “Alright, you’re safe now.”
Guan Shilan looked at Chen Xiao incredulously and asked hesitantly, “Brother-in-law, what kind of ‘Xia’ are you?”
“What kind of ‘Xia’?”
Chen Xiao was bewildered and asked in confusion.
“Aren’t all those superheroes called something ‘Xia’? Don’t you have a nickname like that?”
Guan Shilan asked with a serious expression.
“…”
Chen Xiao was speechless.
He couldn’t be bothered to answer such a foolish question. Guan Shilan was just an ordinary person, and seeing a monster like Jin Zaishi made her feel like the sky was falling.
However, in Chen Xiao’s eyes, an opponent of Jin Zaishi’s caliber was merely a minor annoyance. He hadn’t killed him immediately simply to see what abilities he possessed.
After observing, Chen Xiao felt even more disdainful.
Jin Zaishi’s body lacked any spiritual energy for support. All his abilities relied on his formidable physique, making him ultimately inferior.
“How did he become like this? Did he use some secret technique or spell?”
Chen Xiao asked Guan Shilan.
Guan Shilan shook her head. “No, he just took a pill, and then he suddenly became like this… Oh, right, I have a recording. Do you want to see it?”
Chen Xiao nodded. “Send it to me.”
Guan Shilan had secretly installed cameras in various rooms of the villa, and the recordings were transmitted to her phone in real-time.
As a corporate spy, this was merely basic professional conduct.
Soon, Guan Shilan sent the recording to Chen Xiao.
After watching it, Chen Xiao realized that the two island nation scum had died at Jin Zaishi’s hands, or rather, in his mouth.
“There’s nothing else here. You should go now. I need to stay a bit longer.”
Chen Xiao said to Guan Shilan.
“Brother-in-law, can I leave with you? I’m scared!”
Guan Shilan said pitifully.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly. “You’re scared to leave alone? Aren’t you scared of your eldest sister?”
Hearing this, Guan Shilan shivered.
“Goodbye, brother-in-law!”
With that, she quickly walked out.
Because she had, almost subconsciously, used her usual charming tactics on Chen Xiao.
Clearly, Chen Xiao was not swayed, and he had even exposed her attempt.
After Guan Shilan left, Chen Xiao called Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was from the Vermilion Bird Division, primarily responsible for intelligence work. Perhaps she could analyze information from the recording that Chen Xiao couldn’t see.
“I knew the Gaishi Group was involved in gene drugs, but I didn’t expect them to be so powerful! That sailor-suited girl is Kuriyama Chizuru from the island nation, an A-class ability user, but Jin Zaishi killed her as if it were effortless…”
After watching the recording, Liu Yu was dumbfounded, finding it increasingly terrifying.
Although Chen Xiao had easily killed Jin Zaishi, Chen Xiao was only one person.
If anyone could become as powerful as Jin Zaishi by consuming that green pill, it would be truly terrifying.
Chen Xiao understood her meaning and said, “I don’t think everyone can withstand this drug. Gene breakthroughs themselves cause immense damage to the body. Those who can mutate into someone like Jin Zaishi are likely less than one in ten thousand.”
Liu Yu nodded in agreement. “However, even so, we cannot be careless. If the Night Organization truly creates dozens of such monsters, they will be too powerful.”
As the saying goes, Chen Xiao was unique.
Someone as powerful as Chen Xiao was hard to find even in the entire Huaguo.
Liu Yu believed Chen Xiao’s strength might have surpassed that of the God of War Xiao.
“Mr. Chen, may I take Jin Zaishi’s corpse for research? Perhaps we can extract the gene drug that hasn’t been fully absorbed.”
Liu Yu asked tentatively.
Chen Xiao nodded. “Yes, you can. I’ll leave this place to you then. I’m leaving now.”
“Alright, Mr. Chen, please take care.”
Liu Yu saw Chen Xiao out the door before contacting her subordinates to come and move the body.
Chen Xiao was now heading to a club, where Song Anran and Li Ziqing were waiting for him.
When Li Ziqing received Guan Shilan’s distress message, the three of them had just sat down and were about to discuss investing in Anchen Technology.
After receiving the message, Chen Xiao had rushed over immediately. Now that the matter was resolved, he naturally had to return.
He wondered if any friction had occurred between the two women during his absence.
After all, in Chen Xiao’s memory, the relationship between these two women was not exactly friendly.
Most importantly, neither of them was easygoing; they were both people who wouldn’t let themselves be at a disadvantage!
However, when Chen Xiao arrived, the scene before him left him stunned, even making him doubt if his eyes were deceiving him.
Because the two women were sitting together harmoniously, chatting merrily, appearing like close friends who had known each other for many years!
