The murderous intent in the room abruptly stalled, frantically pouring into the Blood Saber.

As the Blood Saber whirled, all the murderous intent in the room and within Jiang Chen's body fused into it, and upon the saber's descent, a blood-colored sabre shadow filled with the aura of death materialized.

The moment this blood-colored sabre shadow appeared, it had already reached Li Jing's front.

"What?"

Li Jing's complexion drastically changed, the oncoming death aura eliciting a surge of despair in her heart, and with this despair rising, she found herself unable to muster any will to resist.

Whoosh!

The blood light flickered, and the blood-colored sabre shadow slashed into Li Jing's body.

"This... Failed?" Vermilion Bird said, looking at the disappearing blood-colored sabre shadow with a worried expression, his eyes filled with complexity.

"It's over! We're doomed!" Su Yun said with a face full of despair, realizing that such a terrifying attack from Jiang Chen couldn't harm Li Jing, leaving her without an ounce of fighting spirit!

"Ah!"

Jiang Chen's face suddenly turned pale, and he cried out in pain, his hands clutching his head, his body swaying a few times as if he was about to collapse to the ground.

"Dragon King!" Vermilion Bird exclaimed in shock, rushing to Jiang Chen's side to support him.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's face was deathly pale, his breathing heavy, and his eyes were already beginning to lose focus!

"Dragon King, how are you? Dragon King!" Vermilion Bird called out anxiously. If something happened to Jiang Chen here, Vermilion Bird truly didn't dare to imagine what Long Yan and Long Ya's brothers would do!

Huff huff huff!

Jiang Chen breathed rapidly a few times, shook his head fiercely, and said weakly, "I'm fine, just a huge consumption of Soul Power. I'll be okay after resting a bit. We don't have much time left."

Looking up at Su Yun, Jiang Chen urged, "You wouldn't have brought us to this dressing room for no reason, right?"

"This place can lead directly into the laboratory, it's just that..." Su Yun replied, her face filled with despair as she looked towards Li Jing.

"Don't worry about her, she's already dead," Jiang Chen said softly, re-sheathing the Blood Saber in his cane.

Vermilion Bird and Su Yun both started in surprise.

Boom!

As if to prove Jiang Chen's words, Li Jing's body violently exploded, turning into a pile of powder, within which many green specks flickered.

"What... what's going on?" Vermilion Bird cried out in shock, his gaze toward the powder filled with surprise and sorrow.

Jiang Chen didn't explain, but he understood in his heart, 'Rupture Earth Soul,' as the name suggests, was an attack that directly affected the soul. The killing intent shook the mind, a single slash to extinguish the soul, that was the Rupture Earth Soul!

"Like this!"

Jiang Chen's complexion recovered somewhat, and he spoke in a deep voice, "Vermilion Bird, you go to the data archive to find information related to the Gene Potion, I'll take Su Yun to the laboratory to look for samples. Regardless of whether we find them or not, we must leave within five minutes. We've delayed for too long!"

"Alright!" Vermilion Bird nodded without objection, it was clear that Jiang Chen's condition was due to excessive consumption, his strength diminished. Having Su Yun, a Heavenly Level Grandmaster, by his side to look after him was only proper.

After agreeing, Vermilion Bird took a deep look at the pile of powder that had been Li Jing, turned to the door, sensed quietly for a moment, then quickly opened the door and ran out.

"The passage to the laboratory is here. This is Li Jing's private passage, which I discovered by chance!" Su Yun said, arriving at the entrance to one of the changing rooms and pointing inside.

Jiang Chen glanced at the door of the changing room, which bore the words 'Li Jing.' Clearly, this was Li Jing's private changing room.

Stepping over to the pile of powder that was once Li Jing, Jiang Chen glanced around and found a small box in a nearby locker.

He reached out, took the box, and was just about to open it.

"Don't!" Su Yun's face suddenly changed, and she urgently spoke out.

But as she cried out, Jiang Chen had already opened the box.

As soon as the box was opened, a thin gauze thong appeared before Jiang Chen's eyes.

"Uh..." Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the label on that locker, 'Su Yun'.

Su Yun's face turned red, and she hurriedly ran in front of Jiang Chen, snatched the thong from the box, stuffed it into her pocket, and gave Jiang Chen a fierce look, cursing under her breath, "Pervert."

"It's not..." Jiang Chen just wanted to explain but then chuckled, shook his head, and stopped paying attention to Su Yun. He squatted down, scooped up a handful of the powder that Li Jing had become, placed it into the small box, and then sealed and pocketed it.

Patted his hand free of the powder, Jiang Chen softly said, "Let's go, to the lab."

Su Yun glared at Jiang Chen, turned her head away with a slightly red face, and muttered to herself, Bastard, I've never even been in a relationship, and you, a pervert, had the nerve to rummage through my thong, you big pervert, you big jerk!

However, Su Yun also knew that the situation did not allow for dwelling on this matter, so she didn't linger on it and stepped over to Li Jing's changing room. She opened the door of the changing room and went inside.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly feeling the space get crowded, Su Yun turned her head and saw Jiang Chen had followed her into the changing room. She exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Chen looked at Su Yun with a baffled expression, "What am I doing? Aren't we going to the lab through here?"

Seeing the innocent look on Jiang Chen's face, Su Yun's face turned red again, realizing she had misunderstood. She turned away and stopped responding to Jiang Chen, reached out and pulled on a hook on the wall of the changing room, and pulled hard.

Boom!

A muffled sound came, and the wall behind the changing room moved to one side, revealing a dark corridor.

"Let's go!" Su Yun called, stepping into the corridor.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, gave Su Yun a deep look, and followed her in.

At the end of the corridor, there was a password-protected door. Su Yun stepped forward and expertly entered the password.

Click!

The password door opened, and a ray of light shone through.

Click, click, click!

The sound of bullets being loaded came from inside the door, and Jiang Chen's expression changed as he gripped the handle of Blood Saber.

Su Yun turned around, placed her hand on Jiang Chen's hand holding the saber, and gently shook her head. She walked through the password door with her head held high and chest out. Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, he stepped through as well.

Exiting the password door, they entered a massive laboratory filled with various pieces of experimental equipment. Isolated suit-clad staff were busily conducting various experiments. At the entrance, two squads of armed men saw Su Yun and Jiang Chen emerge and promptly aimed their guns at them.

"Dr. Su?!"

A questioning voice rang out, and a blond, blue-eyed man approached Su Yun and Jiang Chen. He frowned at Jiang Chen and turned his gaze to Su Yun's face, "Dr. Su, why did you come through Ms. Li's passage?"

"Charles, don't others know, don't you know? Wasn't this passage mine before Li Jing came?" Su Yun spoke coldly.

Jiang Chen's heart jolted, a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and a sense of caution rose within him.
