The patrol team walked past as if they didn't see the two Paladin Knights at the door, not sparing them a single glance.

After crouching quietly among the greenery for a while, Vermilion Bird whispered, "The patrol goes by every ten minutes. If we take out those two Paladin Knights, we'll have only ten minutes to search."

"Not ten minutes," Jiang Chen murmured, "but twenty minutes. It's true that a patrol passes by every ten minutes, but there are two teams that take turns patrolling."

"You mean... take out a patrol team as well?" Vermilion Bird looked at Jiang Chen with surprise, "That will inevitably create a commotion!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Can you eliminate a patrol team in an instant without letting them make a sound?"

"I can do that. A patrol team consists of one Earth Level Martial Artist leading nine Profound Level Martial Artists. I can ensure they won't make even the slightest noise before taking them out, but those two Paladin Knights..." Vermilion Bird nodded and then frowned as she continued.

"Leave the two Paladin Knights to me. If you can take out a team without making a sound, then we will have at least thirty minutes to find those gene research materials," Jiang Chen said confidently.

"How did it become thirty minutes now?" Vermilion Bird looked at Jiang Chen, confused.

Jiang Chen explained softly, "Follow the next patrol team when they pass by and take them out quietly. I'll deal with the two Paladin Knights here. That way, we'll have at least thirty minutes. The ones patrolling around the entire manor take exactly thirty minutes to reach the weapon depot; we'll time it perfectly."

"Dragon King, can you really eliminate two Paladin Knights and a patrol team simultaneously without letting them make any noise?!" Vermilion Bird was shocked, looking at Jiang Chen somewhat skeptically.

"I can. To secure as much time as possible, you'll have to trust me. After all, with such a large weapon depot, it won't be easy to find the entrance. We need ample time to complete the mission!" Jiang Chen nodded and spoke gravely.

Vermilion Bird glanced at the large weapon depot, nodded with a hint of worry, and chose to trust Jiang Chen, because, as he had said, the depot was too big. It would truly be impossible to find the entrance to the lower levels within ten or twenty minutes and locate the materials they needed in time.

At the hideout of the Fallen Angels Mercenary Corps, among the greenery in front of the weapon depot.

Jiang Chen waited silently; a patrol team had just passed by the weapon depot's entrance, and Vermilion Bird had already followed them.

Thump, thump, thump!

A series of footsteps approached as a patrol team drew near.

Jiang Chen's expression turned cold as he slowly drew out the Blood Saber.

Suddenly, a bloody radiance appeared in the sky, causing the patrol team at the entrance of the weapon depot and the two Paladin Knights to look up simultaneously.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Jiang Chen dashed out fiercely, swinging his saber hard.

"Second Style of Blood Dance Heaven and Earth, Bloody Moon Fall!"

The bloody saber shadow emerged; bloody radiance swiftly melded into the Blood Saber, and immediately after, a crescent moon sliced out from the edge of the Blood Saber.

By then, Jiang Chen had already charged to a distance of two meters in front of the two Paladin Knights, with the patrol team right beside them.

The two Paladin Knights were shocked and quickly opened their mouths to shout.

"Third Style of Blood Dance Heaven and Earth, Rupture Earth Soul!"

Bloodlight burst from Jiang Chen's eyes in an instant, and a towering killing intent surged toward the two Paladin Knights and the patrol team like a tidal wave.

The group of men was stunned by the killing intent, pausing for a moment, and that brief hesitation cost them their lives.

The Bloody Moon passed through the two Paladin Knights, raising two plumes of blood mist, reaching the center of the patrol team, and then violently exploded into a vast expanse of Bloody Radiance.

The entire patrol team burst apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Jiang Chen swung the Blood Saber repeatedly and quickly, absorbing all the blood mist without a single drop falling to the ground.

"An Earth Level Martial Artist and below, could the last attack really turn them directly into blood mist?" Jiang Chen glanced at where the patrol team had been standing just moments before.

During an encounter a few hours earlier with a Paladin Knight of the Fallen Angels, Jiang Chen had executed the Second Style of Blood Dance Dharmic Heaven, and the final attack had blasted a Paladin Knight into chunks of flesh. And now, that patrol team had exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which gave Jiang Chen a deeper understanding of the power of 'Bloody Moon Fall.'

Whoosh!

A figure approached rapidly from a distance, and Jiang Chen looked up with a slight smile.

"Dragon King, where are the people?" Vermilion Bird arrived in front of the weapons vault, glanced around, and looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "They've gone home to sleep."

Uh...

Vermilion Bird was surprised for a moment, but Jiang Chen didn't explain and turned to walk toward the entrance of the weapons vault.

Watching Jiang Chen's retreating back, Vermilion Bird suddenly thought of the battle from a few hours ago. At that time, two of the Paladin Knights who had fought with Jiang Chen had also vanished without a trace. They had been too busy fighting to notice how they disappeared but knew it wasn't because they had run away; they had been finished off by Jiang Chen!

Realizing this, Vermilion Bird looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of fear in her eyes. What kind of power allowed someone to disappear without a trace? Just how strong was this Dragon King?

"Do you know how to deal with this thing?" Jiang Chen arrived in front of the weapons vault door, glanced at the fingerprint lock, and called out without turning his head.

Vermilion Bird came back to her senses, looked at Jiang Chen warily, and walked over.

"This requires fingerprint authentication. The fingerprints of those two Paladin Knights should work." After looking at the fingerprint lock, Vermilion Bird raised her head to look at Jiang Chen.

"Uh..." Jiang Chen became slightly embarrassed, giving a sheepish smile, "They're gone."

Vermilion Bird gave Jiang Chen a deep look and took out a small device, connecting it to the fingerprint lock, and rapidly manipulated it according to the prompts that appeared on the device.

Beep beep beep!

Click!

A soft beeping noise sounded, followed by the sound of the weapons vault door opening.

"Impressive!" Jiang Chen gave Vermilion Bird a thumbs-up and reached out to open the vault door.

"Who..." Just as the vault door was pushed open, a voice of confusion came from inside. A glint of cold light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he quickly slashed with the Blood Saber in his hand.

Swish!

A streak of bloody radiance passed by, followed by Vermilion Bird's urgent cry from behind: "Don't!"

Hum!

The Blood Saber vibrated, stopping at the forehead of a woman wearing glasses.

Click!

Vermilion Bird hurried into the weapons vault, closed the door behind her, and turned around in shock to look at the woman: "Are you Jing Jing?"

"You're... Zhuo Qian?" The woman looked at Vermilion Bird in delight, just about to step forward, but then she remembered the saber threatening her forehead and nervously turned to Jiang Chen.

"Dragon King, she's my best friend Li Jing, we've grown up together since we were kids," Vermilion Bird hastily explained.
