Chapter 269: with translation of chapter title

Ah ah, wait a moment.

Huo Ye Yingsi glared at the raging bull, sprinting forward while shoving the Core Coin into the Ou Zi Driver.

Fortunately, just as he was about to be launched by the wild bull Yummy, the invincible time from his transformation briefly blocked it, otherwise he might have already become a flying person.

What tremendous power this is.

Huo Ye Yingsi pressed down with both hands on the head of the wild bull Yummy, but he still felt a huge force directly strike his body.

A pair of black horns slammed into him, directly launching his body upward.

Huo Ye Yingsi could even hear the bones of his body crackling.

With a boom, the concrete wall was directly shattered by the impact.

Like a spiderweb, the cracks kept spreading, while Huo Ye Yingsi's body was at the center of the web.

The enormous force was squeezing his body, preventing him from launching any attack.

At that moment, the motorcycle engine roared suddenly; Goto, wearing combat clothes, saw this scene and directly took off a metallic cylindrical weapon from the rear seat.

Huo Ye Yingsi watched Goto aim the cylinder at him, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "No way! A rocket launcher?"

Huo Ye, hold on.

Goto shouldered the rocket launcher, aimed the muzzle at the wild bull Yummy, and fiercely pulled the trigger.

Flames burned at the tail of the rocket launcher, also clearly illuminating Huo Ye Yingsi's helpless expression.

But by the time the wild bull Yummy noticed, it was already too late; the fuse burned and reached the internal explosives.

Inside a small shell, a strong chemical reaction was taking place.

Accompanied by impact and blinding flames, it struck the wild bull Yummy squarely.

Boom! Smoke billowed; like thunder, the explosion instantly enveloped Ou Zi and the wild bull Yummy.

A painful howl suddenly rang out, and strong shockwaves continuously spread from the explosion's center.

When the smoke cleared, Ou Zi's figure was gone from the center of the spiderweb cracks.

Orange-yellow flames crackled on the wild bull Yummy's body.

Once the bull's fur catches fire, it is not easy to extinguish.

Thank you, Mr. Goto.

Huo Ye Yingsi thanked Goto, who stood beside the motorcycle, while picking up the Holy Emblem Slash Sword, preparing to continue fighting.

No need, this is just my duty.

Goto glanced at Ou Zi, then rode the Dominate Sales Number along the road and drove away.

Huo Ye Yingsi inserted the Cell Coin into the sword, gripped it with one hand, and a gray-white halo flowed along the blade.

Good! I'll kill him with one strike.

Suddenly, Kamel let out a miserable cry; his body, originally wrapped in bandages, fell directly from high altitude.

His overweight body directly smashed a large pit into the ground, and his body continued to burn with golden flames.

These flames burned the Cell Coins inside Kamel's body, gradually weakening his power and abilities.

Red feathers rained down from the sky.

Huo Ye Yingsi looked up in surprise, just seeing Jiang Xia walking down from the second-floor stairs.

What surprised him even more was that Jiang Xia's right hand had become the same as the monstrous right hand of Anku possessing someone.

Could it be that Anku abandoned the policeman's body and instead possessed Jiang Xia's body?

If so, wouldn't the policeman die right away?

Anku, where is the policeman's body? Once he leaves your possession, he will die immediately! Hurry back!

Huo Ye Yingsi shouted anxiously at Jiang Xia.

Don't misunderstand, I am not possessed by Anku; Anku and Quan Xinwu's bodies are still fine together.

Jiang Xia looked at the recovered Kamel and wild bull Yummy; suddenly, a golden Core Coin appeared in his claw.

Try this.

Jiang Xia lightly tossed it, and that Core Coin accurately flew into Huo Ye Yingsi's hand.

Is this, Lion?

Huo Ye Yingsi looked at Jiang Xia, nodded, and took off the Eagle Core Coin.

Actually, Jiang Xia wanted to try the combination, but the feline leg coin was still in Anku's hand.

I always feel something is off.

Anku hid in the shadows, looking at the terrain and environment here, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

"This guy Huo Ye, at critical moments he can't be reached." Anku complained while looking at the unanswered locust can.

A man in green leather clothing sat on the stone steps, fiddling with his phone.

Anku looked closely and found he was just an ordinary man; the foreboding in his heart eased somewhat.

"Hey, is it you who posted online saying you picked up a coin?" Anku asked.

It's me.

Seeing the anxious Anku, that person calmly put his phone in his pocket.

"Quickly give me the coin to look at." Anku urged the man before him. It's very likely that scattering other Core Coins, obtaining it might greatly increase Ou Zi's efficiency in collecting coins.

"Hehehe, hahaha, I didn't expect you to fall for this so easily; in my current guise, even you can't recognize me." Wu Fan laughed loudly.

Compared to the powerful Anku, this Anku he has known for 800 years still suits his taste better.

"It's me." Wu Fan looked at the bewildered Anku and shrugged his shoulders.

Like iron claws, it slashed at Anku's right hand; the powerful force instantly bound Anku's true body tightly.

So that's how it is, spreading rumors online to lure me here, but with your insect brain you couldn't have thought up such an ingenious plan.

"It must be Kazal, right? He must have taught you hand‑in‑hand." Anku gritted his teeth and strained to say.

"Hmph, say what you will, without Ou Zi you're like a weak infant, Anku—I've taken all your Core Coins."

Wu Fan grabbed Anku's head, forced it up, gripped Anku's true body tightly, and drove the outer claw deep into Anku's palm with a powerful thrust.

Anku seemed to hear his Core Coins trembling; explosive pain blasted from his right palm, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and it felt as if every organ in his body were wailing.

"What's wrong with you, Anku? Where did your arrogant arrogance go? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be in this state."

Wu Fan roared, his hands never stopping; he treated this Anku as if he were Jiang Xia, who stole his Core Coins—if he can't beat him, can he not beat you?

Anku's right hand rolled on the ground, but then he noticed Wu Fan's body was reduced to a bare torso, his upper‑body armor gone.

So Wu Fan must have already lost his Core Coins before arriving—but who is it?

Before Anku could figure it out, his right arm suddenly burst with intense sparks, and three Core Coins exploded out of it.

Two were yellow, one green.

"Damn, my Core Coins are down to just one."

Wu Fan glared maliciously at the dying, struggling Anku.

When he revived, he had four; Anku had two in his hand.

Now Jiang Xia has three, just enough for a set; the fighting Ou Zi has one; and he himself has two more, making a total of six Insect Core Coins.

By contrast, Kazal's Core Coins: Ou Zi now has two, Anku still has two, Jiang Xia has one, and he himself has two, for a total of seven.

The Aquatic type is the highest, with a full eight Core Coins, all in Jiang Xia's hand.

This is also the highest coin count after Greed's awakening.

"Anku, don't be so stingy—you must have more Core Coins here; hand them all over."

Wu Fan said to the Anku whose whole body was smoking with blue fumes.

Quan Xinwu's body lay alone nearby; now Anku can't even possess anyone—he's barely holding onto himself.

Hand them over!

Boom! A blue water tornado descended from the sky, blasting Wu Fan, who was about to keep attacking Anku, several meters away.

"What is this aura?"

Anku grabbed the nearby railing, barely managed to possess, and looked ahead.

"Oh dear, Anku, you too have such miserable moments—how rare."

A teasing voice rang out, accompanied by that unmistakable dampness—no need to guess, it's the Greed he hates most arriving.

Not only are they hostile, but their opposing attributes—fire and water—repel each other, making coexistence impossible.

"Mejiru, you actually managed to revive again."

Compared to Anku's annoyance, Wu Fan is even more surprised; after they fled, Mejiru didn't vanish—he reclaimed the eight Core Coins he once possessed.

"How did you snatch your Core Coins back from his hand?"

Wu Fan's body tensed slightly, and his tone became unusually cautious.

He cautiously regarded the current Mejiru, as if facing a formidable foe.

"I only paid a small price," Mejiru said.

The price referred to cleaning, helping with chores, and keeping the room tidy.

Earning some Cell Coins and beginning to learn the everyday knowledge an ordinary person should have.

"How about we split Anku's Core Coins evenly? I and Kazhali would welcome you back," Wu Fan suggested.

"Anku is mine; if you don't leave, you'll also become my property."

Meizier gathered the water in his hand into a whip, swaying it in front of Wu Fan.

For every additional Core Coin Greed's body possesses, its strength increases significantly—let alone Meizier, who is now nearing his complete form.

"Anku, even if you're lucky this time, no one will save you next time."

Wu Fan looked at the weak Anku, pushed off with his legs, leapt up, and his body quickly disappeared from here.

He himself also understood that if they really fought, without fully reviving him he was no match for Meizier; better to cut his losses.

"Meizier, I didn't expect you to appear here."

Anku leaned on the railing, his face pale as he looked at Meizier, who had returned to human form.

"You've already wasted too much of my time."

Meizier pulled out a handful of Cell Coins and threw them to Anku: "Greed, fighting over desire, is just trouble; all he thinks about is coins."
