I am an insect

Ji Ye was taken aback. He was only wary of the giant tentacles hidden inside the white-hatted man's body, but he never expected the man's skills to be so amazing.

Clearly, the reason he was allowed to escape from the funeral home earlier was simply because he was worried about the crowd and didn't want to kill someone in public and cause a riot. It wasn't because he couldn't catch him.

Now that the path is deserted and the nearest buildings are over a hundred meters away, he no longer needs to worry and can finally show his true strength.

Ji Ye had already concentrated his strength in his legs. As the man in the white hat threw away his cigarette butt and took off, Ji Ye used his legs to propel himself towards the distant building.

Ji Ye knew that if he couldn't escape, he would die here today.

"Since he hesitated to act at the funeral home because there were people around, he obviously didn't want to be seen. I just need to escape to a place where there are people. He definitely wouldn't dare to kill someone in public."

In the face of life and death, it was as if all his potential was unleashed. Ji Ye's speed in rushing out surprised even the man in the white hat. His sure-fire pounce missed.

"Hey……"

The man in the white hat snorted, his body stretching out like an agile cheetah. Using the momentum from his previous pounce, he continued forward, his feet leaving the ground, his entire body almost flying sideways.

With a flick of his right hand, he lashed out as if holding an invisible whip, striking Ji Ye who was fleeing forward.

The giant tentacle, invisible to ordinary humans, was pulled out with lightning speed as he swung his right hand.

Despite the bright sunshine, this giant tentacle, resembling a mind-body, did not seem to fear sunlight like a mind-body.

Ji Ye suddenly felt a burning pain in his back, like he had been whipped. He groaned and a huge force pushed him forward, causing him to tumble.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Just as his head and face were about to hit the ground, he braced himself with his hands and used the force to flip forward several meters. Suddenly, he felt a tightness around his neck, as if a giant python was tightly coiling around it. A tremendous force lifted his neck and lifted his body into the air.

Ji Ye barely managed to turn his head and saw that the man in the white hat had appeared two meters behind him, raising his right hand. The giant tentacle extended along his right hand, and the other end wrapped around his neck, lifting him up.

Ji Ye felt short of breath as the giant tentacles wrapped around his neck tightened, penetrating his skin and flesh to ensnare his mental entity hidden within Li Hao's body.

The terrifying feeling was indescribable. Ji Ye's face turned bright red, and he desperately tried to grab the giant tentacles with both hands, but his hands passed straight through the tentacles as if he were grasping at thin air. He could see the giant tentacles, but he could not touch them.

Clearly, only the entity itself can come into contact with the entity.

Almost as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Ji Ye's mental body extended out and filled Li Hao's entire body. Every inch of his flesh and blood contained the power of his mental body, and in the next instant, he indeed grabbed the giant tentacles with both hands.

Once he could actually grab the giant tentacles, Ji Ye tried his best to pry them off his neck.

"A fully metamorphosed adult insect is indeed troublesome; its adaptability is remarkable. Too bad you've run into me..."

The man in the white hat still wore a faint sneer. Ji Ye's performance surprised him, but everything was under his control. His open right hand gradually tightened, slowly clenching into a fist. At the same time, the giant tentacle was also constantly contracting.

A cracking sound came from Ji Ye's neck, the sound of muscles tearing and bones breaking. This giant tentacle was not only unafraid of sunlight, but could also affect and interfere with real matter, harming Li Hao's body.

Li Hao's neck would soon be completely snapped, and his head would be severed. At that time, Ji Ye's mental entity would die along with Li Hao's body.

Ji Ye could no longer breathe, his brain was deprived of oxygen, and his limbs were convulsing violently. He knew that this body was about to die, and his own mental body was being entangled by the giant tentacles and would rupture and disintegrate like this body.

Within the tightly bound and shattering body of will, it continuously expands and contracts like a blower. With each contraction and expansion, one can feel an energy from the heavens and earth. This energy, like air, is omnipresent. Its essence is similar to a body of will, belonging to the power of will. Normal humans cannot sense it; only those who become bodies of will like Ji Ye can perceive it.

Ji Ye felt that deep within his mental body, there was a hidden energy that was constantly struggling to break free from the constraints of his mental body.

The faint sneer on the white-hatted man's face gradually turned into a ferocious grin, and his right fist, which was loosely clenched, slowly tightened. He clearly wanted to completely break Ji Ye and the neck of this body. He was using increasingly powerful strength, but the resilience of Ji Ye's mental body was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Die—" the man in the white hat coldly hissed, his right fist, which had been loosely clenched, suddenly clenched completely. The giant tentacle wrapped around Li Hao's neck had already penetrated most of its flesh and blood, tightly gripping Ji Ye's mental body inside.

Ji Ye felt a surge of powerful energy within his body, but he was unable to break free from the restraints of his mental body. Until now, seeing his mental body about to break apart, perhaps the greatest potential was unleashed in the face of life and death, and that energy finally broke free from its restraints and burst out of his body. He swung his right hand out following the surge of this power.

Suddenly, the man in the white hat let out a low groan and stumbled backward, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

His giant tentacle actually broke off in the middle, and the severed tentacle wrapped around Ji Ye's neck began to dissipate like smoke.

Ji Ye landed, and as the tentacles on his neck disappeared, he resumed breathing. However, his neck was severely injured, twisted irregularly, and his skin was purplish-black. Blood kept dripping from his mouth and nose.

He was breathing heavily, but his eyes were fixed on his right hand.

At that moment, a strangely shaped, hook-like weapon, about half a meter long, appeared on his right hand.

It resembled a scorpion's stinger, with a cone-shaped tip and sharp edges. He had just used this suddenly appearing hook to sever the white-hatted man's tentacles, thus averting his own danger.

To him, the hook appeared entirely black, with a faint sheen of dark light emanating from its blade, making it look incredibly sharp.

Ji Ye understood that this was an extension of his mental form, which was why he was able to sever the giant tentacles of the man in the white hat.

His mental body fears sunlight, but the mental extension that extends out of his body to form a hook is unaffected by sunlight.

Clearly, compared to the mental entity hidden within Li Hao's body, this hook that broke through his body represents a qualitative change.

The hook, though seemingly held in his right hand, was actually one with his mental entity within him; the mental entity simply extended outwards through his right hand.
