The Gentleman at the End

Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Giving It All

Due to Yi Chen’s sudden intervention,

Edmund and Anna had the chance to catch their breath and immediately took out three different colored injections from the inner layer of the coat and administered them intravenously.

*Temporary physical enhancement

*Pathological suppression

*Rapid vitality replenishment

Right after the injections, they took a deep breath and continued to maintain their fighting stance.

The relieved Edmund also noticed something unusual about Yi Chen,

“William… your hand!”

Newly initiated gentlemen, or rather, Rank “Human” gentlemen, unless using secret medicine, could not possibly have the nearly grotesque ability of limb regeneration.

At that moment,

Yi Chen’s previously bitten off left hand was completely restored, even holding the Hand Axe, severing all the silver blood vessels clustered on Mr. Lee’s back.

Edmund quickly discovered the key to the ‘repair.’

“Is it that pet on William’s shoulder? Isn’t that thing supposed to be an ‘Vision type pet’ from the owl family? How can it mimic and act as a palm? Could it be some kind of tomb product I am unaware of…

Nevermind that for now, at least the tide is slightly turned, and there is still a chance.”

At present,

Mr. Lee, frightened and in pain, was crawling on the ceiling of the clinic room, even moving slightly backwards with a hint of wariness, showing no intention of attacking temporarily.

Juliana, holding her severe waist injury, quickly came to Yi Chen’s side and quietly informed him of the examination results of the target’s lower body.

However,

Yi Chen did not respond, as he seemed to be still fascinated by the subtle changes in the palm structure,

even the feeling from the axe strike just now was rather strange,

Though it was merely a single left hand swinging the axe, it felt like the speed, power, smoothness, and precision were all superior to his previous dual-handed axe wielding.

At that moment,

The back of the black-furred hand suddenly opened a mouth and half an eye appeared.

“Hey! Your teammate is sharing important information with you.”

“I heard her… just thinking, I’m trying to see if I can directly filter out the Pathogen Core through the information Miss Anna shared. However, it still seems to be missing something.

I’ll need your help, little Grape.”

“You have five minutes. After that, the silver grape of that guy belongs to me.”

After a brief exchange,

Yi Chen also responded quietly to Miss Anna:

“Basic filtering is done, just a bit more to pinpoint the ‘Pathogen Core’… So, I still need to make a few more cuts in the opponent’s flesh to carry out the final observation and filtering.

Miss Anna, can you hold on?”

No sooner had he spoken,

Juliana threw two daggers towards a corner of the ceiling,

one was dodged by Mr. Lee turning his head,

the other grazed his shoulder,

but the true purpose of these two daggers was not to attack but to obscure the vision and divide the attention.

As the second dagger grazed his shoulder,

Ignoring the pain in her abdomen, Juliana’s nimble body leaped high, aligning herself with Mr. Lee at the same height.

A horizontal Sword Slash!

An arc of black curse energy lingered in the air.

This Sword Slash forced Mr. Lee to leave the ceiling, falling back to the floor, his back slightly slashed open… forcing him to spit out a few cursed dead rats.

Just as Mr. Lee landed,

From left and right, gun and sword, and axe, all struck at once,

Not only that,

Anna, who had just swung horizontally in the air, switched to holding the sword with both hands… and delivered a descending air slash in succession.

Due to the sudden change, unable to dodge in time,

Mr. Lee barely stepped back half a step to avoid his head being split open.

The falling Sword Blade, however, sliced open his chest and belly, spilling a heap of curse-blackened, bisected rat corpses from the gaps in his belly.

Such a massive vertical wound was naturally not missed by Yi Chen.

He widened his eyes, observing the movements of the rats inside, carrying out the final filtering.

“You bunch of bastards!” @@novelbin@@

The intense pain from the open wounds and curse erosion made Mr. Lee instantly furious,

The Moon Seal on his neck bloomed with dazzling silver light,

That instant,

Mr. Lee seemed a step closer to the moon, and the movements of the three young people in front of him slowed down in his eyes.

He twisted his body.

The giant rat tail behind him, carrying the twisted force of his entire body, lashed out fiercely, striking Juliana in the abdomen.

She was already the lightest among them,

and having just completed an aerial slash, her left foot hadn’t even touched the ground, utterly incapable of any dodging or bracing.

Crack!

A crisp sound of bones breaking, at least four ribs were fractured,

Juliana was sent flying directly by the tail swipe, slamming fiercely into the wall of the clinic, even denting it.

Spurt!

A mouthful of blood spurted out, her abdomen caved in, probably with even the kidneys completely shattered, and the rest of the organs severely impacted.

If it wasn’t for her immense willpower, she would have passed out long ago.

At this head,

The evolving Mr. Lee during the battle, his arm muscles were further strengthened, even growing scythe-shaped bony spikes.

His arms swung towards the two men at extremely tricky angles,

Clang!

A loud noise as both Yi Chen and Edmund were knocked flying,

The handgun with the Emblem insignia fell to the ground, along with a large amount of blood dripping onto the gun,

Edmund wasn’t so lucky,

During the block, the sharp spike precisely slashed through his forearm, severing all the blood vessels and nerves inside… His left hand had no sensation at all, and the brain’s instructions could only make the fingers twitch slightly.

However,

Yi Chen came with good news, having filtered out the best answer from his smoking head.

“I found the ‘Pathogen Core’… Little Grape, it’s time to go!”

Without a moment’s pause,

although Mr. Li evolved once again during the combat, Yi Chen still felt no fear.

He lowered his body,

eyes locking on the target,

and broke into a charge,

bursting forth at even greater Speed than when sprinting on the Clinic rooftop or in the downtown sewers.

Mr. Li watched the young man charging alone, “Have you lost your mind? Just as well, I can finish this early.”

He made a predatory lunge,

and the living rat tail also hovered at his shoulder, ready to bite the target along with Mr. Li,

such a stance had absolutely no openings.

The distance between them lessened,

just as Yi Chen was about to enter Mr. Li’s range of attack.

Suddenly, an eye opened in the bizarre black furred left hand of Yi Chen, meeting Mr. Li’s gaze.

An invisible and unknown Spiritual Shock reached directly into the brain.

Mr. Li’s instant distraction, confusion of consciousness,

images from the past flashed through his mind,

once curled up with rats in a corner, forsaking his dignity and personality, desperate to survive—these images flooded his mind.

“I must survive!”

The bewildered look in his eyes instantly cleared, the episode lasting merely one second.

This shocked Yi Chen immensely, as it was much less than the anticipated three seconds.

However,

in that one second, Yi Chen had already gotten close.

He picked up the axe,

and chopped towards the location where the ‘Pathogen Core’ was hidden—at the intersection of the neck and collarbone.

Just as it was about to cleave through… ding!

Mr. Li actually ducked his neck, cocked his head, and forcefully bit the axe with his teeth… Although several teeth were severed, he ultimately jammed the axe completely.

At the same time,

the living rat tail perched on Mr. Li’s shoulder also opened its mouth, biting down on Yi Chen’s right side! Dozens of slender rat teeth completely penetrated Yi Chen’s flesh.

Had it not been for the protection provided by the gentleman’s clothes, his body might have been directly crushed.

Not only that,

Mr. Li’s arms also wrapped around from left and right,

the inflated muscles and deployed claws, even with the gentleman’s clothes, could easily tear Yi Chen’s flesh completely open… He even foresaw the claws piercing into the spine, reminiscent of a ‘spatchcock’ scene.

At the critical moment,

Buzz!

Two swooshing sounds came by his ears,

on the right, Blond Edmund held a sword with one hand.

“Gun Sword Reflect”

Clang! He completely parried Mr. Li’s right arm.

On the left,

though already at her Limit with severe injuries, Juliana actually came at an even faster Speed, almost turning into a black shadow.

Two injections were still stuck in her neck, not yet pulled out.

Summoning the last bit of strength in her body,

she swung her sword!

Swoosh!

Mr. Li’s enhanced left arm was directly severed by the sword! It fell beside him on the ground.

At this moment,

the crises from both sides were completely eliminated,

Yi Chen stared intensely at Mr. Li before him, completely indifferent to what happened around him… His only purpose was to “eliminate the target.”

The pain from the rat tail’s biting, like a stimulant, excited Yi Chen’s central nerves.

“Ah!!!”

The veins on his neck and forehead burst out, his screams echoing through the entire clinic.

Such intense emotion, the desire to kill the enemy, even influenced Little Grape… The black fur on his left hand began to wriggle, further enhancing his strength.

Crack~ the teeth originally biting the axe began to break inch by inch.

With each shattered tooth, the teeth blocking the axe blade were successively ground to bits.

Crack!

Grinding the teeth, the moment he cut open Mr. Li’s mouth, the Dog Jaw Axe also shattered simultaneously.

He successfully opened a wound deep enough to glimpse the blood and flesh inside.

Without any delay,

Yi Chen reached into Mr. Li’s throat with his left hand,

pushing past layers of congested rats,

and grabbed the shivering pathogen rat,

at this moment,

Mr. Li’s fury, resentment, and ferocity vanished, replaced by a fear and panic,

the rat tail that bit Yi Chen quickly loosened,

and he even knelt down.

“Please, I just wanted to survive! By the way… I can tell you all the secrets behind Twilight Clinic, even the information about ‘Dusk thin silver liquid’.

Also, I have some useless silver coins hidden here, all yours!”

His plea at the final moment only met with Yi Chen’s cold smile,

“I think I understand why you’re the only one who survived from Twilight Clinic…”

The moment the words fell,

right hand squeezed!

As the pathogen rat’s body burst, Mr. Li’s pupils filled with blood instantly, and his body began to convulse wildly…
