Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 968: Chapter 971: Three Potions

Seeing Fa’er’s corpse, Jiang Chen was taken aback.

But with a slight furrow of his brow, Jiang Chen quickly understood.

Fa’er had been targeting him, and Jiang Chen had sensed something was amiss. During the second meeting with Xi’er and the others, he’d made eye contact with Xi’er and confirmed that Fa’er was Lu Densi’s man.

What Jiang Chen hadn’t expected was that Fa’er would die here.

When he had left, Ha’er and the others had already taken decisive advantage; it wasn’t likely that Fa’er was killed by the enemy, so it was self-evident who had killed him!

”I didn’t expect the Holy Court’s internal strife to be this fierce!” Jiang Chen murmured softly, and slapped his palm onto Fa’er’s corpse on the ground.

Boom!

Fa’er’s body instantly turned into a pile of minced flesh, quickly consumed by the flames.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen leapt into the central villa that had turned into a sea of flames.

Jiang Chen remembered that Bo’ersi and the other Gene Warriors had all come from the central villa, and the fluctuations of their aura had come from a corner of the first-floor hall.

Arriving at what used to be the first-floor hall, the place was now nothing but ash, with the surrounding flames nearly extinguished.

From the traces, it was clear that this was the starting point of the mansion’s inferno!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Relying on his memory, Jiang Chen continuously slapped several palms towards a corner, blood-colored handprints landing on the ruins.

Rumble!

With a series of thunderous noises, the corner suddenly collapsed, revealing a dark entrance.

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up, and he swiftly dove down the hole.

Splat!

Landing on solid ground, Jiang Chen looked around.

He was in a spacious hall with no one inside; the flames hadn’t reached here yet. As soon as Jiang Chen entered, a tongue of flame shot through the hole.

Ignoring the possibility of the flames following him in, Jiang Chen retracted the blood mist and quickly began his search.

”The laboratory! It should be here!”

After searching for a while, Jiang Chen stood in front of an electronic door that required iris and fingerprint scanning to open. Glancing at the door’s label, Jiang Chen drew the Blood Saber.

”Open for me!”

Swish! Swish!

Two streaks of blood-light shone as Jiang Chen chopped at the electronic door three times.

A human-sized square pattern appeared instantly on the door.

Bang!

Jiang Chen kicked fiercely at the center of the pattern.

Boom!

The square pattern flew into the laboratory.

”Beep beep beep... Base defense system compromised, self-destruct sequence initiated, countdown 3 minutes!”

”Damn it!” Jiang Chen’s face changed drastically, and he hurried into the laboratory.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Upon entering the laboratory, Jiang Chen was hit by a cloud of dust that made him cough, and with a frown, he scanned the lab.

The section of the electronic door that Jiang Chen had chopped off fell not far ahead, stirring up a thick layer of dust on the ground.

The entire laboratory was almost filled with dust, and this dust was mixed with green particles. However, the green particles were very dim and had lost their luster.

”Damn! What happened here? Are they killing their own people?” Jiang Chen exclaimed in surprise, with a look of bewilderment on his face.

There was no other bloodstain in the laboratory, not even any signs of a fight!

Jiang Chen frowned as he approached the experiment table, glanced at the table, and his eyes suddenly lit up. There were two pale green potions on the test tube rack.

Gene Potion! Found it!

Delighted, Jiang Chen reached out for the two gene potions on the experiment table.

Hm?

The corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a document on the experiment table, and Jiang Chen’s heart gave a violent shake.

”This is... the method to advance Gene Warriors to the Great Respect Boundary? The Gene Organization can create Gene Warriors at the Venerable Realm?!”

Jiang Chen was startled and hurriedly picked up the document to read it through.

”These... these beasts! They don’t even spare their own people!” After reading the document, a cold murderous intent appeared in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

The document revealed that, due to genetic mutations, Gene Warriors could not practice and improve like other Martial Artists. To advance, they needed to drink something called the ’Gene Strengthening Potion.’ The highest efficacy of this potion could reach the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm, but using this potion to enhance power was also chancy, and the chance was very small.

When Gene Warriors reached the Peak Semi Venerable Venerable, they could no longer advance. This laboratory was researching how to elevate Semi Venerable Venerable Realm Gene Warriors to the Venerable Realm.

And the researchers here had seemingly already found a way, which was to extract the green particles from other Gene Warriors, absorb the life energy inside, and then combine it with the highest-grade ’Gene Strengthening Potion.’ The combination could achieve a breakthrough.

However, this kind of breakthrough required the consumption of a massive amount of life energy, hence other gene people’s lives must be sacrificed.

Jiang Chen glanced at the dust in the laboratory and realized suddenly.

No wonder when they attacked the manor, aside from Bo’ersi and a few other Semi Venerable Venerable Realm Gene Warriors, he hadn’t seen any other Gene Warriors’ presence. So...

”The researcher must be that Bo’ersi wearing the lab coat, what a damn beast!”

Jiang Chen’s expression darkened as he spoke. He already had a strong aversion to Gene Warriors, and now, these people were using the lives of their own to enhance their power, which made Jiang Chen even more repulsed!

This was unlike the Blood Saber Jiang Chen used to absorb Essence Blood; the people Jiang Chen’s Blood Saber slew were all enemies who wanted to deal with him, while Bo’ersi was turning their own people into nourishment for his life energy, a wholly different matter.

Quickly collecting the two gene potions and documents, Jiang Chen turned to leave. His eyes shifted and he scanned the laboratory again. On a table to the side, he saw a small silver box with a label ’Gene Strengthening Potion.’

Jiang Chen quickly walked over, opened the box to have a look, and inside were three potions shining with an emerald light lying quietly.

Rip!

Jiang Chen tore off the label from the box in one motion, placed the two gene potions and the documents into the box, closed the lid, picked up the box, and ran towards the hole he had come down through.

”Self-destruct countdown 1 minute, 60, 59...”

A mechanical voice sounded throughout the base, and Jiang Chen’s face changed as he ran towards the exit at full speed, his cultivation technique operating at its limit.

Whoosh whoosh!

As Jiang Chen arrived at the entrance of the hall, a wave of scorching heat almost burned him.

The entire hall was engulfed in a Sea of Flames!

Buzz!

Jiang Chen’s expression tightened, his aura erupted, blood-colored mist appeared, enveloping him once more, and he charged in.

Swish!

Braving the flames, Jiang Chen rushed out of the hall.

But as soon as he came out, Jiang Chen’s face dramatically changed.
