Chapter 1378: Chapter 1373: The Maddening Desire to Possess

"So... so many of me? What does that mean?" Gong Xiao continued to feign ignorance, which to Chi Biyi appeared as a display of purity!

"After entering that research institute, some people will do things to you, and then, you will have many clones, just like them. But you yourself will be confined somewhere, your clones will become you, you are the original, perhaps, you’ll be locked in a vessel full of culture fluid."

Chi Biyi raised his hand and pointed towards the group of Order Protectors, the meaning was clear, Gong Xiao also knew that she couldn’t pretend anymore and immediately said: "I... I understand now, I... I don’t want to go! I don’t want to become like that."

"Alright, I’ll take you away now, I’ll hold them off, you hurry and leave."

"This..."

Chi Biyi had just finished speaking when he assumed a combat stance, his muscles started to swell, his clothing was suddenly stretched out, and flesh ruptured on his robust muscles, blood-red tendrils grew longer, winding around his arms and body, in no time, Chi Biyi’s upper body was covered by thick layers of flesh armor, his fingers turned into sharp claws, swinging them gave a sensation of almost tearing space itself!

And there, the Order Protectors were also swinging their weapons, ready to strike!

Just as Chi Biyi was about to make a move, Gong Xiao hastily stopped him, shouting, "Wait a second!"

Chi Biyi turned his head upon hearing the voice, and before he knew it, even he was unaware that his actions had begun to revolve around this woman.

"What is it?"

"You’re not going to be in trouble, are you?"

"There might be some trouble, don’t worry about me, get out of here quickly, I’ll hold them off!"

Chi Biyi roared, his body shuddered, a mass of tendrils extended from his back, then exploded, spraying a cloud of blood mist backwards, and his appearance also became extremely ferocious in this moment!

"Wait! Stop!" Gong Xiao "exhausted" all her strength and yelled hoarsely from behind!

"If doing this endangers you, then I would rather go with them to that place. Don’t fight, thank you."

Gong Xiao blurted out these words in one breath, instantly making the atmosphere around them grow strange. Chi Biyi dumbly turned his head to look at Gong Xiao, his eyes filled with complicated emotions, a mix of so much that it was unclear what the emotion actually was.

However, he was probably mostly moved, this much could be seen from the slight trembling of his body.

On the other side, Tang Ye couldn’t help but show a smirk, he truly didn’t see it coming, Gong Xiao had the potential to play innocent!

Chi Biyi’s gaze at Gong Xiao became increasingly complex. He suddenly realized that there were so many surprises he experienced today, probably more than in the past four years!

That someone could be so unexpectedly beautiful beyond everyone’s imagination, and such an end-of-the-world development even now that there are such fools who think of others.

If it were someone else, he, like everyone else, would dislike that guy, would despise him, but he didn’t, what he felt, was deep emotion!

She was doing it for his sake!

At the same time, Gong Xiao’s actions further solidified Chi Biyi’s decision!

This girl must belong to him! No matter the cost! Even if it means making enemies of the whole world!

In an instant, a surge of heroic spirit rose in his heart, which was another surprise of the day. To think that someone could inspire such thoughts in him; before this moment, he saw himself as cold-blooded, unsociable, and exalted above others!

But now, all of that was shattered in this moment! Because one person gave him immense courage, making him fearless against everything in this world!

"I’ll go with you. Just don’t hurt him, and it’ll be fine. You said he has nothing to do with this, right? If so, let him leave, and I’ll obediently follow you." As Gong Xiao spoke, she ran towards the group of Order Protectors.

Although manipulating someone’s feelings was not honorable, as the person involved, she felt a certain thrill in her heart!

Gong Xiao would not forget what she was supposed to be doing; she would be foolish to really leave with Chi Biyi.

"Stop!"

Seeing Gong Xiao’s actions, Chi Biyi’s expression was one of shock, and he quickly bellowed out as he chased after her. He dared not use too much strength, fearing that he might accidentally destroy the building into rubble. As Level 8 beings, they would be unharmed, but Gong Xiao was just an ordinary person and could be squished as easily as tofu if he wasn’t careful!

But as he was about to move, the Order Protectors in front of him acted at the same time. They didn’t care about Gong Xiao’s well-being; their only objective was to take her to the required place, emotionless like robots!

Seeing the Order Protectors moving in front of Gong Xiao, Chi Biyi roared and lunged forward with his claw!

"Get the hell away from me!"

The Order Protectors were not pushovers either; one of them reached out to pull Gong Xiao to their side, while the other two swung their weapons. The blades slashed through the air, leaving a destructive trail, colliding heavily with Chi Biyi!

The friction in the air reached its extreme, causing intense heat. With the spark of a fire, the second floor of the building exploded like a tactical nuclear bomb, turning the entire structure into rubble!

"Let her go!"

Chi Biyi was not afraid of the lethal blades of the Order Protectors. He grabbed one blade directly with his claw and pulled it towards himself. At the same time, his legs thrust forcefully, lifting his body into the air and smashing another Order Protector with a violent gust of wind!

Boom!

The surroundings were flattened by the battle, but Chi Biyi was, after all, just one person. Even though the combat power of a single Order Protector was not equal to a regular Level 8 New Human, they were still beings of the Level 8 tier!

Fighting against nearly four or five Level 8 Order Protectors, Chi Biyi could not hold on for long. Soon he was sent flying by their combined attacks, his body plowing a deep gash into the ground!

He crawled out of the debris, dusty and disheveled, not bothering with anything else as he looked towards where Gong Xiao was. Seeing her well-protected by one of the Order Protectors, he breathed a sigh of relief, which was quickly followed by an unstoppable bitterness and fury!

He had already come to see that woman as exclusively his, and no one else was allowed to touch her, not even if that person was a woman! An intense sense of possessiveness almost drove him mad!

He spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood; the flesh on his back seemed to droop as if it was flagging from the encounter after being slashed twice by an Order Protector, which was quite a setback for him, making his breathing feel heavy and difficult.
