My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 356: Chapter 0355: The Great Battle with Duanmu Kuang (Three More)_1

“Are you going to surrender willingly, or do I have to make a move and knock you down before I catch you?” Ye Xiong said coldly.

“Who wins and who loses is still undecided!”

As soon as Duanmu Kuang finished speaking, his body released a powerful killing intent, and his clothes moved without wind.

The entire room was filled with flowing air currents, and the strong killing intent was released.

In his lifetime, Ye Xiong had encountered many opponents; apart from Long Tianya and Long Zaitian, Duanmu Kuang was undoubtedly the most formidable opponent he had ever faced, barely any less powerful than himself. @@novelbin@@

Fighting him, even if Ye Xiong could win, would probably take some time.

And it was highly likely that he would suffer some injuries.

Would Ye Xiong fight him?

Of course, but not in the usual way.

“I want to see how you, this junior, can win against me.”

Duanmu Kuang’s fist erupted with formidable strength, and he fiercely struck towards Ye Xiong.

There was no hint of finesse, only an unstoppable force.

He refused to believe that with over twenty years of effort that had brought him to the Mastery Level of Inner Strength, he could not win against a young man not even twenty-five years old.

Seeing that his punch was about to land on the opponent.

The opponent didn’t dodge but instead revealed a hint of scornful cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

This smile gave Duanmu Kuang a start inside.

Did this guy have some kind of backup plan?

No sooner had this thought occurred than an abrupt Beast Roar sounded!

Duanmu Kuang’s fist, just as it reached his face, was firmly gripped by another fist.

Suddenly, within his line of sight, that hand which held onto his fist appeared visibly swelling to the Mortal Eye.

In just a moment, the arm that was originally as thick as his grew an entire round thicker, its skin turned dark green, and red blood vessels pulsed within.

“You’re… a Gene Warrior?” Duanmu Kuang exclaimed in shock.

“You guessed right.”

The transformed Ye Xiong voiced out a deep sound from his mouth, swinging his other fist and striking Duanmu Kuang on the chest.

Duanmu Kuang’s body flew back as if hit by a speeding car, crashing against the wall and slowly falling down, unable to get up for a long time.

The wall, dented by the impact, had paint peeling away, forming a person-shaped indent.

With just one punch, he had rendered a master, not much inferior to himself, completely defenseless.

Firstly, because Ye Xiong had caught hold of Duanmu Kuang’s other hand, eliminating any chance of escape, and on the other hand, Ye Xiong being a Gene Warrior of a new generation, his strength was several times more formidable than other Gene Warriors. Moreover, as a strength-type Gene Warrior, in this situation, Duanmu Kuang was no different from an ant in front of him.

After knocking down Duanmu Kuang with a punch, Ye Xiong returned to his normal state.

He had expected to recover quickly, but the severe after-effects of just a few seconds of transformation still forced him to bend over in pain.

Last time the transformation had taken merely a few seconds to recover, but why was it taking so long this time, and the pain was much more intense?

What on earth was going on?

The door to the room was pushed open, and Phoenix, having heard the Beast Roar, rushed in anxiously.

Seeing Ye Xiong crouching on the ground with his clothes torn in several large holes, obviously from the swelling that burst them during the transformation,

“Didn’t I tell you not to transform unless absolutely necessary? Why don’t you ever listen?” Phoenix said urgently.

“It’s okay, cough cough…”

“Even the Beast Organization doesn’t know what the future holds for Gene Warriors. If it were so promising, why wouldn’t Long Tianya, Long Lan, and Long Lan’s boyfriend turn themselves into Gene Warriors?” Phoenix’s voice changed with anxiety.

It took a good while before Ye Xiong’s pain subsided, and he recovered.

“You’re worried about me?” he asked with a smile as he looked up.

“I’m worried that if you die, Reaper Squad will be wiped out.”

“Isn’t that the same as worrying about me?”

“You…”

Phoenix was left speechless with frustration by his words.

“Captain, should we take the person into custody, or should we head out?” a Dragon Group member cautiously asked from the side.

Phoenix then remembered that she had colleagues around, their conversation sounding flirtatiously contentious.

She gave Ye Xiong a cold look and strode away.

“Cuff him, use several pairs of handcuffs, and shackle his feet as well,” Ye Xiong instructed.

Two Dragon Group members went over and shackled Duanmu Kuang, chaining him with four or five pairs of handcuffs before dragging him away.

The mission had been accomplished, now that Duanmu Kuang was captured, the person Ghost relied on to usurp the title of Lingnan Medical God had been caught—his plan had failed significantly.

Two Dragon Group members were carrying Duanmu Kuang, ready to put him in the car.

Suddenly, a faint sound was heard.

The sound was barely perceptible, and if Ye Xiong’s hearing hadn’t been exceptionally good, he wouldn’t have heard it at all.

Duanmu Kuang suddenly screamed, then his body convulsed, and in a moment, he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Ye Xiong ran over and pulled a thin silver needle from his back.

The needle was hollow, with dark traces still visible inside, obviously once filled with poison. When it pierced into Duanmu Kuang’s body, the poison entered his bloodstream, killing him in moments.

If it had been any ordinary time, with Duanmu Kuang’s vigilance, the silver needle would have had a hard time reaching him, but now he was seriously injured and at his weakest, unable to dodge at all.

The murderer had seized this opportunity to strike.

Ye Xiong rushed out to search the surroundings.

Phoenix, along with some other Dragon Group members, also searched around but found nothing.

“The killer must have left already. Who could have such a deep hatred for Duanmu Kuang to want him dead? Could it be someone from the Beast Organization?” Phoenix speculated.

“If it were someone from the Beast Organization, they would have tried to rescue him, not silence him.”

Ye Xiong crouched down to examine Duanmu Kuang.

His entire back was blackened, the poison spreading rapidly; it was a highly toxic substance that diffused on contact with blood.

This poison looked familiar to Ye Xiong, and soon he recalled a previous incident.

When he first visited the Murong Family, he saw Wu Lizhen and the impostor Murong Feng on the ground, poisoned, their symptoms similar to Duanmu Kuang’s.

Almost instantly, the image of a woman of unparalleled beauty flashed in his mind.

Ye Xiong took out his phone, stepped aside, and dialed Wu Wang’s number.

“Wu Wang, where’s Murong Ruyin?” Ye Xiong asked.

“She’s staying in her room.”

“Are you sure?”

“Our people are patrolling the villa. It shouldn’t be mistaken.”

“Knock on her door and tell her I have an urgent matter.”

Murong Family villa.

Wu Wang checked the time; it was already 2:30 a.m.

He walked briskly to Murong Ruyin’s room, knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened a crack.

“What is it?” Murong Ruyin’s displeased voice sounded.

Wu Wang dared not look and handed the phone through the gap in the door.

“Ye Xiong is looking for you.”

“Why didn’t he call me?”

“I don’t know.”

After handing off the phone, Wu Wang stepped aside, not looking at her any longer.

Disturbing a girl in the middle of the night was already impolite, and he did not want to offend any further.

Murong Ruyin closed the door again before picking up the phone and answering the call.

“What do you want?” Murong Ruyin asked indifferently.

Hearing her voice, Ye Xiong knew he had been mistaken.

But he couldn’t rule out her involvement, although Duanmu Kuang wasn’t killed by her hand, someone might have acted on her orders.

“We captured Duanmu Kuang, but someone got to him first, injecting him with a poisoned needle,” Ye Xiong briefly explained the situation, then asked, “I just want to ask, who would have such a poison, one that travels with the blood and kills in moments?”
