Chen Mo clung to Meng Yao's waist, his body screaming with exhaustion, his scales burning with residual heat. Behind them, the city was still burning, a crimson glow that painted the sky in shades of blood and ash.
"We made it," Meng Yao breathed. "We actually made it."
"Not yet." Chen Mo's voice was weak, barely above a w

CHAPTER 70: THE MUTATION BEGINS
The cold was inside him now.Chen Mo couldn't feel his fingers. Couldn't feel his toes. Couldn't feel anything except the burning in his chest, the screaming in his spine, the ancient hunger that was clawing its way through his veins."Mo!" Meng Yao's voice was desperate, her hands pressing against his face. "Mo, stay with me. Please, stay with me.""I'm trying." His voice was barely a whisper. "I'm trying, Yao.""Just hold on. We'll find shelter. We'll find help.""There's no help out here. There's nothing out here.""Then we'll make something. We'll build a fire. We'll—""Yao." He reached up and grabbed her hand. His grip was weak, trembling. "Yao, listen to me.""I'm listening.""Something's happening. Inside me. The bloodline... it's changing."
CHAPTER 69: THE ESCAPE NORTH
The beast's hooves thundered against the frozen ground, carrying them deeper into the Northern Wastes. Chen Mo clung to Meng Yao's waist, his body screaming with exhaustion, his scales burning with residual heat. Behind them, the city was still burning, a crimson glow that painted the sky in shades of blood and ash."We made it," Meng Yao breathed. "We actually made it.""Not yet." Chen Mo's voice was weak, barely above a whisper. "We're not safe yet.""We're away from the city. Away from the Imperial Court. That's something.""It's something. But it's not enough.""What do you mean?"He looked down at his hands. The scales were still there, pulsing with a faint golden light. The Dragon-Spine was still screaming in his back. He could feel the power flowing through his veins, ancient and hungry and absolute."I'
CHAPTER 68: THE SHATTERED PLATE
"Your armor won't save you. Nothing will save you."Chen Mo's voice was cold, absolute, the words falling from his lips like stones into still water. The Imperial Inspector was on his knees before him, his golden breastplate cracked, his power fading. The runes that had once pulsed with light were now dark and broken."You can't do this," the Inspector gasped. "You can't kill me. I'm an agent of the Imperial Court. I'm—""I know exactly what you are." Chen Mo's hand closed around the edge of the breastplate. "You're the man who hunted me. The man who tried to take everything from me. The man who killed my father.""You can't prove that.""I don't need to prove it." His scales flared. The Dragon-Spine screamed. "I know it. That's enough.""Please—""Too late."He pulled. The gold
CHAPTER 67: THE DRAGON-SPINE UNLEASHED
The world slowed down.Chen Mo didn't understand it at first. One moment, he was falling, the Inspector's hand wrapped around his throat, the golden runes pulsing with light, draining his strength. The next moment, everything was moving in slow motion. The Inspector's eyes were wide. His lips were forming words that sounded like they were underwater."What... what's happening to you?"Chen Mo looked down at his hands. His scales were burning with a light so bright it was almost white. His Dragon-Spine was screaming in his back, a sound that was both agony and ecstasy. He felt like he was on fire. He felt like he was flying."I don't know," he said. "But I'm not going to fight it."He moved.The Inspector's hand was still around his throat, but Chen Mo was no longer there. He was standing ten feet away, his body a blur of scales and
CHAPTER 66: THE INSPECTOR'S RETURN
"You've fought well, boy. But this is where it ends."The Imperial Inspector's voice cut through the chaos like a blade of frozen light. Chen Mo turned, his scales burning, his heart pounding. The man was standing at the edge of the arena, his golden armor gleaming, his eyes cold and absolute. He had been watching. Waiting. Calculating."No," Chen Mo said. "It's not over. It's never over.""Oh, but it is." The Inspector stepped forward. His presence was suffocating, a weight that pressed down on Chen Mo's lungs, his heart, his very soul. "You've caused enough chaos for one day. The Heavenly Sword Master is dead. The tournament is ruined. The city is burning. And now it's time for you to face the consequences.""The consequences?" Chen Mo laughed. It was a broken, hollow sound. "You want to talk about consequences? Your people killed my father. Your people destroyed my clan
CHAPTER 65: THE BREAKING OF THE SWORD
"You think that blade can stop me?"Chen Mo's voice was raw, desperate, burning with a fire that had nothing to do with his bloodline. The Heavenly Sword Master stood before him, his legendary blade raised, its edge gleaming with the light of a thousand fallen stars. The crowd was silent. The world was waiting."I don't think it can stop you," the Sword Master said. "I know it can.""Then you don't know me at all.""Enough talk. Let's finish this."The Sword Master lunged. His blade carved through the air, faster than Chen Mo could track, its edge sharp enough to cut through reality itself. Chen Mo threw himself to the side, feeling the blade slice through his scales, his flesh, his soul."You can't dodge forever," the Sword Master said. "You can't run forever. Eventually, you'll have to face me.""I'm not runn
