Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 96: Chapter 95: Everyone Must Die

Just as his fair-skinned hand reached out, Chen Mo suddenly hesitated, freezing in place.

He always felt there was something strange about this Silver White Snake. He hadn’t witnessed its abilities, but for it to be worshipped as the Snake King by the people of Bai Town and to be so viscerally hated by his own arrogant apprentice, it had to be extraordinary.

Although the Silver White Snake had eaten his Snake Soul Pill and was under his control, he wanted to eliminate every last shred of risk from the experiment. Leaving the Silver Needle in for now seemed safer. At the very least, he should observe it for a while longer.

After a moment of internal deliberation, Chen Mo couldn’t help but pull his hand back.

’Are you fucking kidding me?’

The Silver White Snake raged internally.

Dr. Snake Chen Mo took the syringe filled with the Giant Snake Gene from a staff member. Just as he was about to begin the injection, a young man suddenly entered the lab, causing him to frown immediately.

”Didn’t I tell you not to come to the lab?”

Jiang Xingze knew that if the Silver White Snake became a peerless, one-of-a-kind species, he would likely never get his chance for revenge. He was furious, but he was also helpless.

”Master, I just want to witness the birth of this one-of-a-kind species with my own eyes. Please, indulge me. After all, this snake and I... we have quite a history.”

A dark history, to be sure.

Of course, this wasn’t the full extent of Jiang Xingze’s thoughts. He knew that during his master’s first experiment, a Mangshan Iron Head had been unable to withstand the Giant Snake Gene and had self-destructed in agony right where it lay.

This type of experiment was inherently high-risk with a low probability of success. If the Silver White Snake couldn’t handle the Giant Snake Gene and exploded right in front of him... well, that would be quite a spectacle to behold.

The very thought of the Silver White Snake exploding before his eyes filled Jiang Xingze with a perverse thrill.

And so, he had come.

Chen Mo treated Jiang Xingze very well, as he was his only apprentice. ’If he’s just here to watch,’ he thought, ’then let him.’

If Dr. Snake had known Jiang Xingze was here hoping to see the Silver White Snake explode, he probably would have been angry enough to slap his wicked apprentice to death.

After that brief interlude, Chen Mo turned his attention back to the Silver White Snake sprawled on the table. Wasting no more time, he aimed the syringe directly at its abdomen. As he pushed the plunger, the Giant Snake Gene was silently injected into its body.

The Silver White Snake’s body merely trembled slightly, and then it showed no further reaction. It was incredibly quiet and docile.

It was astonishing. The snake looked just like an ornamental pet, its small head pressed tightly to the table. Its unusually bright eyes blinked, and its crystalline, silver-white scales gave off a faint luster. The numerous wounds crisscrossing those scales, in particular, only served to inspire pity.

After the injection, Chen Mo’s eyes were fixed on the Silver White Snake. Seeing it take the Giant Snake Gene without a single adverse reaction, he was filled with amazement. ’Even the Vampire Snake can’t compare to this.’

’Even a Mutated Bloodsucker Snake couldn’t be this composed. It’s as if the Giant Snake Gene hadn’t been injected at all.’

What on earth were this snake’s origins? It was as if it had appeared on She Mountain out of thin air, its entire being shrouded in mystery. Even Dr. Snake Chen Mo, a man who had seen innumerable snakes, had yet to identify what it was.

Both the ancient Supreme Profound Snake and the legendary Mutated Bloodsucker Snake were documented; they had appeared in the past.

But this snake... you could search through all the Ancient Texts and not find a single trace of it.

Several staff members were observing the Silver White Snake’s behavior, ready to take notes. But as they watched, their pens remained still. Ever since the Giant Snake Gene injection, the creature had been utterly, impossibly quiet.

Only its unusually bright eyes kept blinking, like stars in the night sky.

As they watched, the staff found themselves growing fond of the snake. It was simply too beautiful, and in its current state, it looked both pitiful and surprisingly gentle and lovely.

They couldn’t imagine what it would look like if a snake like this were to transform into a ten-meter-long giant.

Based on his experience with the Vampire Snakes, Chen Mo knew it would take some time after the injection for the Giant Snake Gene to take effect.

If its body couldn’t withstand the strain, however, it would immediately start screaming in agony until it finally exploded.

To the side, Jiang Xingze’s fists were clenched tightly, his expression slowly twisting into a savage grin.

’Explode already, just explode!’

’Why is this damn snake so quiet? It should be howling in pain, writhing on the ground, and then completely self-destructing right in front of me, spraying its blood and guts into the air.’

’Now *that* would be a beautiful sight.’

Unfortunately for him, things weren’t going according to plan. The heavens were not on his side.

’A Snake Demon is a Snake Demon, after all. What a complete freak. Not a single adverse reaction to the Giant Snake Gene injection. This is ridiculous.’

”It should be about time.”

Chen Mo checked the time. He figured the Giant Snake Gene was about to take effect. He reached out, preparing to remove the Silver Needle from the snake’s head. The needle was sealing the Silver White Snake’s ”Power,” which would hinder it from breaking through its bloodline’s limitations.

Besides, the Silver White Snake still hadn’t shown any abnormalities, so that last trace of worry in his heart vanished.

SHING...

A hand plucked the Silver Needle from the Silver White Snake’s head. Everyone waited for it to evolve into a peerless Snake Species.

Jiang Xingze despaired. ’It looks like this snake really is going to evolve into a peerless Snake Species.’

’My chance for revenge is gone for good.’

But in the instant the Silver Needle was removed, something bizarre happened.

The air suddenly felt as if it were boiling. A cold, sinister aura abruptly pervaded the entire laboratory, instantly filling it with a grim Killing Intent.

Hm?

Chen Mo took a small step back, sensing that something was terribly wrong.

The sinister chill intensified. The temperature in the lab plummeted as if it were the dead of winter, and many people found it difficult to breathe.

The air around the Silver White Snake on the long table began to ripple. Then, something even more shocking occurred. The snake bizarrely, slowly, began to rise into the air, as if it were about to undergo Ascension.

Finally, the Silver White Snake stopped, hovering three meters in the air, forcing everyone to look up at it. It swept its gaze across the room, its expression cold and indifferent. Those once-blinking eyes were now as cold as frost, a sight that made hearts stop. An irrepressible urge to prostrate oneself and worship him arose in everyone present.

”Oh my god, the snake is flying! I’m not seeing things, am I?”

The scalps of the staff members prickled with fear. They huddled together, their eyes wide with terror as they stared at the Silver White Snake hovering in the air.

”I am finally free.”

A cold voice issued forth, clearly and openly, from the Silver White Snake’s mouth.

The moment the voice spoke, everyone froze as if petrified. It was like they had been struck by lightning, their minds thrown into a stunned stupor.

’This snake can fly and talk?’

’It’s even more terrifying than a Vampire Snake! It seems only a legendary Divine Dragon could do something like this.’

’Did it become like this after fusing with the Giant Snake Gene, or was it like this from the very beginning...?’

Forget the others; even Dr. Snake Chen Mo wore an expression of utter disbelief. His head was tilted back, eyes glued to the snake floating above him, momentarily stunned into inaction.

He was utterly, profoundly astonished.

Jiang Xingze’s eyes widened slowly as he stared at the hovering Silver White Snake. That sinister aura, that icy voice... an inexplicable fear began to well up from the depths of his heart.

It was this very fear that made Jiang Xingze both hate and dread the snake, turning it into an inescapable shadow that haunted his heart.

The laboratory fell deathly silent. After a few breaths, Dr. Snake Chen Mo snapped back to his senses. His eyes suddenly blazed like scorching flames, his gaze fixed on the hovering Silver White Snake with rapacious greed.

”Good. Good! Excellent! I truly underestimated your Snake Vein bloodline. *You* are the peerless Snake Species I have dreamed of!”

Chen Mo stared fixedly at the hovering Silver White Snake, a look of near-madness in his eyes.

”All of you must die.”

The icy voice pierced their ears like a sharp sword. An endless Killing Intent erupted from the Silver White Snake’s body, blasting outward like a raging gale.
