All the police officers together numbered nearly a hundred, and they were armed with all sorts of energy guns. Behind them stood a densely packed group of researchers.
Wu Xiu and the female PhD student were also among them, but all of them had very solemn expressions as they stared intently at the research institute that was already on fire.
“I told you it would get out of control, but you wouldn’t listen. Li Zhiheng withstood the genetic modification and adapted to the female cultivator’s blood, but you were never satisfied. Now look what’s happened.”
"Not only has all the research been destroyed, but now even our lives are in danger. If the relevant authorities find out, you can expect to be imprisoned!"
Wu Xiu was trembling with anger. Li Zhiheng was his most important bargaining chip and the best opportunity for the Wu family to break free from the Li family's control. But at this moment, Li Zhiheng had lost control.
He broke free from his restraints on his own and went on a killing spree in the research institute. Even his three bodyguards, all at the peak of the early stage of the Profound Realm, were no match for Li Zhiheng.
The female PhD student was completely oblivious to Wu Xiu's words; she was extremely agitated and kept muttering something to herself.
Wu Xiu was trembling with rage, wishing he could slap her to death. Just then, everyone gasped in surprise as a human figure slowly emerged from the raging sea of fire ahead.
"They're still alive?!" Wu Xiu exclaimed in surprise, while the female PhD student next to him was even more excited and then made a surprising move.
The female PhD student ignored everyone's attempts to stop her and walked forward.
At this moment, Li Zhiheng was shirtless, and there was no trace of dejection in his expression. Even his hunched body straightened up, and a wicked smile was on his face.
"It's a success! It's really a success!"
Li Zhiheng looked at the female PhD student who had walked up to him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He sneered, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
The female PhD shook her head and said excitedly, "I created you. To me, you are my child. You should leave now, and I will be your hostage."
As she spoke, the female PhD turned to face the crowd, stood in front of Li Zhiheng to prevent the armed men from firing, and told him to leave quickly.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "poof" sound. The female PhD student turned around in disbelief and looked at Li Zhiheng, who was a head taller than her, in shock.
"I don't need hostages, but seeing how sincere you are, I'll give you a quick death."
With a flick of his arm, Li Zhiheng ripped out the female PhD student's heart and crushed it. The female PhD student's body slowly collapsed.
Even in death, she couldn't believe that the "child" she had created would kill her so ruthlessly, and that she should have used this opportunity to soar to great heights.
"Fire!!"
Wu Xiu was scared. Seeing Li Zhiheng's gaze fixed on him, he had no choice but to be afraid. With a command, nearly a hundred beams of energy of different colors poured out instantly.
"Boom!"
The terrifying energy exploded in front of them in an instant, kicking up a huge cloud of dust, and the Institute of Origin Gene Structure was blasted into ruins by this round of fire.
A moment later, a group of guards began reloading their weapons, all looking nervously at the smoke and dust ahead.
"That monster couldn't possibly have survived that kind of barrage of fire."
"Of course, even a Xuan Realm expert cannot withstand the fire of an energy gun."
"The doctor is really too extreme. He insists on fusing so many genes and even wants to inject the strange soul captured from Tiangui Cliff into the experimental subject. It's a terrifying idea."
Wu Xiu's face was very ugly, but his heart gradually relaxed. After all, no one could withstand the barrage of energy guns, not even those at the Earth Realm.
"Hehehe, are you all so eager for me to die?"
A strange laugh suddenly rang out from the crowd, causing everyone's expression to change drastically. They turned to look and saw that Li Zhiheng had appeared in the crowd at some unknown time.
"ah!!!"
The crowd was stunned at first, and then they scattered and fled as if a pot had been boiled over. They couldn't understand how Li Zhiheng had dodged so many energy beams.
Wu Xiu's expression changed drastically. He ordered the guards to fire indiscriminately while he himself used the chaotic crowd to conceal himself, hoping to take this opportunity to escape.
As he fled, he caught a glimpse of Li Zhiheng indiscriminately killing people in the crowd. The scene was incredibly bloody, with limbs flying everywhere.
At this moment, Li Zhiheng was like a nimble monkey, moving with incredible speed, dodging the incoming energy beams while slaughtering those around him.
In a daze, Wu Xiu seemed to see that the shape of Li Zhiheng's pupils had changed, almost like an eagle's eye, and then he looked in his direction.
"What kind of monster is this!" Wu Xiu didn't dare to delay and ran away as fast as he could. At this moment, he wished he had two more legs so he could call for help, but the signal here had long been blocked.
Li Zhiheng stared at Wu Xiu's fleeing figure, smiled wickedly, and then roared, creating a visible ripple in the air that spread in all directions.
"boom!"
In an instant, the ground began to shatter, forming dense cracks, and the chaotic crowd around was struck by this force, falling to the ground and groaning in pain.
"Whoosh."
Li Zhiheng charged into the guard team at a speed of nearly seventy meters per second. In less than a minute, all the guards were killed. He was bathed in blood, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"Hehehe, run away, scream! The louder you scream, the more excited I get!"
Li Zhiheng let out a wild laugh that was neither human nor beast, and then headed straight for the direction Wu Xiu had fled, at an astonishing speed.
The situation at the Institute of Origin Gene Structure was quickly learned by the outside world. The Dragon and Phoenix Academy dispatched disciples as quickly as possible. However, when those disciples arrived...
Upon seeing the horrific scene, they couldn't help but vomit. Corpses were everywhere, some broken in two, others with large holes in their chests.
This matter immediately attracted the attention of higher authorities, and relevant departments were mobilized. Ms. Zhao, the head of the Institute of Origin Gene Structure, was also invited to "have tea".
Immediately, various forces exerted pressure, wanting Ms. Zhao to hand over detailed information about the experimental subjects, even though they claimed it was to apprehend the missing experimental subjects.
But Ms. Zhao knew what her real thoughts were without even thinking about it. However, she was also very surprised that she had actually created a perfect genetically modified human.
Just one day after this incident continued to escalate, Shi Mengqi and Xia Xiaoyi finally set foot on the land of Tianxing and headed straight for Longfeng Academy.
However, not long after the two of them left, a dark figure suddenly swept past, and actually climbed onto a spaceship that was about to fly to Earth with its bare hands, and like a gecko, it climbed into the interior of the spaceship.
"Wang Hao, wait for me. This time I'll make you wish you were dead, hehehehe."
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Han Yue has finally passed the most dangerous stage and has begun to grasp her own power.
This time, Han Yue completely depleted the spiritual energy of seven out of the eight spirit stones. Although Han Shuo promised to replenish them when Wang Hao went to Tianxing, it was too late to solve the immediate problem.
Fortunately, with such abundant spiritual energy, Han Yue successfully controlled the Nether Poison within her body and became a cultivator at the peak of the early stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm.
As for the remaining medicinal herbs, Wang Hao naturally didn't stand on ceremony and kept them all. Han Shuo promised that as long as Wang Hao arrived in Tianxing, he would definitely throw a grand banquet to welcome him back.
After seeing the two off, Wang Hao's life returned to normal. He took out the storage ring from the bedside table, took a deep breath, and murmured, "Don't let me down."
He then channeled his spiritual sense into the storage ring. Although there were several layers of seals on it, this was within his expectations, unless the difference in cultivation levels was too great.
Otherwise, the seal on this storage ring would not have been able to stop Wang Hao's spiritual sense. After ten minutes, with a few soft cracking sounds, the seal was broken, and his spiritual sense successfully probed inside.
The storage ring didn't have a large internal space, only about thirty cubic meters. Inside were three jade bottles. Wang Hao picked up the first one and opened it to take a look.
He found it empty and even smelled of decay, which disgusted him so much that he almost vomited. Fortunately, the pills in the remaining two jade bottles were not spoiled.
There were two Foundation Establishment Pills, but their grade was too low. Wang Hao planned to take some time to refine them again using the Earth Cauldron to improve their potency and grade, since he would definitely need to establish his foundation in the future.
Wang Hao put down the jade bottle and looked elsewhere, where he found three broken second-tier magic armors and a third-tier weapon longsword in a corner.
"Hey, there really are spirit stones, quite a lot." Wang Hao's expression brightened. There were many miscellaneous items in his storage ring, but they were all rotten, though hidden under a pile of tattered clothes.
However, there were thirteen spirit stones emitting a milky white glow, and the spiritual energy contained within them was no less than that of the ones Han Shuo had brought. These were enough to sustain his cultivation for a long time.
Wang Hao was quite content. Just as he was about to exit the storage ring, he discovered a pale yellow animal hide pressed beneath the thirteen spirit stones.
"This is..."
Wang Hao narrowed his eyes, took the animal skin in his hand, and looked at it carefully. He saw that there were six mountain peaks painted on it, which were somewhat similar in shape to cranes and were soaring into the sky.
"It should be a treasure map..." Wang Hao muttered to himself, silently memorizing the terrain, preparing to check the information later to see if there were any similar places on Earth.
"Ding ding".
Wang Hao's phone rang. Immediately, his spiritual sense withdrew from his storage ring, picked up the phone, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart, even making his hair stand on end.
bristle!
Because at that moment, a video was sent to his phone, showing his parents tied to an iron plate, and the person next to them was none other than Li Zhiheng, who had been missing for a long time!
"Want to save your parents? Come to Changping District on the outskirts of the city. Once you get there, I will contact you. If you dare to call the police or call for help, I guarantee you will receive two corpses. Hehehe."
Wang Hao roared, his anger seemingly about to burst forth, and a terrifying aura erupted, shattering all the glass in the house.
"I will tear you to pieces!"
Wang Hao didn't dare to waste any time. He put the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo into his storage ring and drove directly to Changping District. Fortunately, Shi Mengqi left her little beetle behind when she left.
Wang Hao, whose cultivation has broken through to the early stage of Qi Refining, can extend his spiritual sense to about twenty meters around him. Everything within these twenty meters is completely under his control.
Half an hour later, Wang Hao drove into Changping District, and sure enough, two minutes later, he received a text message from Li Zhiheng, asking him to go to an abandoned warehouse.
Wang Hao gradually calmed down and headed towards the designated location. At the same time, he noticed that something was wrong with Li Zhiheng, which he could tell from the first video.
Li Zhiheng was in a very strange state, appearing extremely crazed, with a sinister look in his eyes. He seemed like a completely different person, and he was full of confidence.
Just a few months ago, he was a piece of trash who was being bullied by him. Unless Li Zhiheng also awakened his past life memories, or he had some extraordinary opportunity.
At this moment, in an abandoned warehouse, Wang Hao's parents were suspended at the top of a crane, while Li Zhiheng stood below, occasionally letting out strange cries.
“Young man, I think you’re not quite right.” Wang Hao’s father, Wang Yanzhao, spoke slowly, his eyes like a sharp sword piercing into the depths of Li Zhiheng’s heart.
When Li Zhiheng met the other's gaze, he subconsciously looked away. Then, remembering that Wang Yanzhao was just an ordinary person, he chuckled evilly and said, "A dying man has quite a lot to worry about."
Su Yiwen said irritably, "Old Wang, you should be worried about Wang Hao right now, not this kidnapper!"
“She’s right. When Wang Hao arrives, I want him to watch you all die, and then I’ll slowly kill him. I want him to die in endless regret.”
Li Zhiheng's eyes were filled with madness. He would not allow Wang Hao, who had once been like an ant in his eyes, to rise again. An ant should remain an ant for life.
"court death!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and Wang Hao appeared at the warehouse door. Without saying a word, he stomped his feet hard, creating two deep pits in the ground.
His body shot out like a bullet, but Wang Hao's target was not Li Zhiheng, but his parents who were hanging in mid-air. He wanted to rescue them first.
"Hehehe, do you think I'll let you succeed?"
Although Wang Hao was very fast, Li Zhiheng's pupils turned into eagle eyes again, and his gaze followed him. He quickly took out a small remote control.
A ferocious smile appeared on his face, and he pressed down directly.
Wang Hao naturally saw this scene as well, and instantly understood Li Zhiheng's plan, his expression changing drastically.
"stop!"
Li Zhiheng was enjoying the moment. With a "click" sound, he and Wang Hao looked at Wang Yanzhao and Su Yiwen at the same time.
But the next second, the ropes binding the two people began to descend at a very slow speed.
Li Zhiheng was stunned for a moment, then frantically pressed the button, but no matter how he pressed it, the rope descended at a very steady speed, which made him yell in anger.
Wang Hao was overjoyed and quickly rescued his parents; he had been terrified just now.
"Mom and Dad, you need to leave quickly. I'll handle him. Please don't call the police."
Su Yiwen looked at Wang Hao, who had a murderous look on his face, and opened his mouth as if to say something, but was stopped by Wang Yanzhao, who said, "You don't need to worry about us, just be careful."
Wang Hao nodded, watched his parents leave, then turned around and stared coldly at Li Zhiheng not far away, his killing intent almost tangible.
