Chapter 1550: Chapter 1545: Don’t You Recognize Me Anymore?

At this moment, the three of them had completely fallen apart. The sight of "Xu Haishui" fleeing ignited something in the other Tang Ye. He opened his mouth and let out a roar at the sky. The black mist around him grew increasingly unstable, and the cracks that had vanished from his face earlier reappeared. His expression twisted in agony!

He raised his hand again. Instantly, the faces of the people huddled together below lit up with excitement. They all raised their hands, as if vying for his attention.

Fake Tang Ye didn’t so much as glance at the crowd below. Soon, he raised both arms upward, his face becoming grotesque with effort. It was clear this action was taxing him immensely. Compared to his earlier state, he was now far weaker—not just a little bit weaker, but massively so!

"Hng~"

A heavy, guttural growl rumbled from his throat. Moments later, two individuals in the crowd began to float slowly into the air. Their expressions of pleading shifted suddenly to ferocity; they anticipated the opportunity ahead!

However, their joy was short-lived. The black mist around Fake Tang Ye grew more violent! His face contorted in mounting agony, his features twisting together. The cracks on his skin multiplied by the second!

Before his hands could fully lift, it was as if his strength had completely evaporated. The two bodies he had been levitating let out piercing screams before plummeting to the ground. They hit with a sickening impact, shattering into black ash!

"Hmph~"

Witnessing this, Tang Ye couldn’t help but let out a cold chuckle. How could he describe it? A bit comical, even. The other side seemed completely spent. Trying to fashion powerful pawns now seemed an impossible endeavor!

As the two fell to their deaths, Fake Tang Ye lowered his head to glance at the ground, then at his own hands with his eyes—now grotesquely misaligned from their original positions. In the next instant, he unleashed a howl of frustration, though his voice was hoarse and weak!

Once more, he raised his hands. Before long, another two people in the crowd began to float upward. But with each attempt, Fake Tang Ye’s expression grew even more savage!

As before, the two he lifted barely made it halfway into the air before his power faltered again. The dense black mist surrounding him reached toward them, but before it could make contact, the two fell once more. With chilling screams, they plummeted to the ground below.

"Ahhh!!"

"Tang Ye" let out a gut-wrenching, agonized roar, his voice thick with frustration. He swung his arms wildly, and before long, his emotions caused his limbs to begin twisting erratically!

Meanwhile, Tang Ye moved swiftly, rapidly closing the distance between himself and "Xu Haishui." In just a moment, he had reduced the gap to a mere ten meters!

Xu Haishui turned his head, his face stricken with alarm. He let out an enraged bellow and swung his arm, which immediately elongated with a grotesque tearing of flesh, transforming into a blood-soaked tentacle that lashed toward Tang Ye!

"Courting death!"

To Tang Ye, the Fake Xu Haishui’s move was nothing short of hastening his own demise!

Without wasting a word, Tang Ye advanced into the attack with his own black mist tendrils surging forward, obeying his will.

When Xu Haishui’s tentacle was less than a meter from him, Tang Ye abruptly reached out and grabbed it. With a single, forceful tug, Xu Haishui’s forward momentum came to a halt. In the next second, Tang Ye’s mist tendrils coiled tightly around Xu Haishui’s neck. With a fierce yank, he hurled the fake Xu Haishui toward himself!

Fear flashed across Xu Haishui’s face in an instant. He quickly cried out to Tang Ye, "Do you not recognize me?!"

Tang Ye responded coldly, "I recognize your father!"

With that, he clenched his hold on the tentacle, twisting it several loops tighter and applying even greater force!

Realizing the situation was dire, Xu Haishui immediately attempted to retract his tentacle arm. But this Xu Haishui, much like the original, was terribly weak by comparison. Not to say as weak as an ordinary person—in fact, the power he unleashed had already surpassed Level 7. But in the realm of Level 8, he was firmly at the bottom. Whether in speed or strength, he was barely a third of Tang Ye’s current capability!

Seeing that he couldn’t overpower Tang Ye, Xu Haishui’s expression darkened with resolve. His other hand morphed into a sharp spike and thrust straight toward Tang Ye!

Simultaneously, his back burst open, flesh and blood spraying as black, writhing tendrils erupted outward, scattering in all directions. He was trying to use the commotion to escape, but Tang Ye would never give him that chance!

As the spike came toward him, Tang Ye didn’t even bother dodging. With a thought, he directed the black mist in the space around him to consolidate where Xu Haishui was retreating. Just as Xu Haishui reached the area, the mist had already formed into a tendril that latched onto his foot!

Clashing with Tang Ye’s resolve, Xu Haishui came to a jarring halt, mere centimeters away from making contact with Tang Ye’s eye. In the next instant, the black mist tendril yanked his body forward. Another tendril emerging from the ground caught hold of his foot and violently flung him into the air!

Before Xu Haishui could freefall, the tendril coiled around his neck tightened mercilessly, dragging him from midair back down to earth. With a thunderous crash, he smashed into the ground, creating a deep crater on impact.

For a brief moment, time itself seemed to stop. Just for an instant, a hiccup in human perception. But then, Xu Haishui let out a bone-chilling roar. His flesh began to swell uncontrollably, transforming him in mere seconds from a gaunt, sinister-looking youth into a grotesquely bloated monstrosity. His entire body turned an unnatural shade of corpse-white, from his forehead to his face, chin, torso, and legs—his oily, massive flesh seemed to cover every inch!

"Hmm?"

The sudden transformation left Tang Ye momentarily stunned. But he quickly shrugged it off and even found himself slightly amused. What could he say? Xu Haishui’s appearance right now had completely surpassed that of Ah Fu. Standing nearly seven meters tall, his massive rolls of fat made it so that—even lying down—one could easily mistake him for being upright if they didn’t look closely.

His body continued to swell at an alarming pace, morphing rapidly until he became a towering mountain of flesh!

Struggling to rise from the ground, Xu Haishui found that the sheer bulk of his stomach rendered him incapable of standing. He could only manage to sit up. His bloated eyes fixed on Tang Ye, and his enormous mouth opened and closed before he finally squeezed out a few words: "Do you not recognize me? ... Urgh..."
