New Medicine from the Research Institute

Sky Void Daoist suddenly realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

He had already sent out the jade Jade Talisman for communication, and he only had one Jade Talisman of this quality.

The next moment, Yuan Kang Real Person rushed towards him! His movements were extremely fast, and every step he took had a powerful momentum.

After being transformed into Corpse Puppet, he became invulnerable to weapons and possessed immense strength.

Seeing him charging towards him, Sky Void Daoist felt a chill and immediately unleashed a Law Technique, a beam of white light shining on Yuan Kang Real Person's face.

Yuan Kang Real Person had been pierced by the flying sword, was now struck by this Law Technique. However, the spell shattered instantly upon contact with him, and a violent shockwave sent Sky Void Daoist flying backward! The protective shield around him teetered on the brink of collapse, almost breaking apart.

Even though the shield had neutralized much of his power, his face was still somewhat pale.

Corpse Explosion!

At this moment, another figure charged towards him! Sky Void Daoist shouted and burned a Talisman Paper.

The Talisman Paper transformed into a wall of fire in the air, instantly blocking the figure.

The figure's clothes quickly burned to ashes, revealing a face that was none other than Gui Xuanzi, who had died earlier.

However, by this time, it had already been turned into a puppet.

Chen Wang also consumed a lot of materials in order to forge these four puppets.

However, the puppetry technique he learned, combined with the method of Corpse Control, was relatively easy to manipulate. Although the power was reduced due to the hasty crafting, it was still sufficient.

After exhausting Sky Void Daoist's Talisman Paper, a loud bang rang out! Gui Xuanzi's body also exploded, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, directly shattering the protective shield on his body.

Sky Void Daoist was forced back several steps by the shockwave.

Just then, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his Sea of Consciousness, as if his head had been split open.

Not only that, with a loud bang, Sky Void Daoist's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon without warning.

Broken bones mixed with blood were scattered all over the ground.

Bang! Another loud noise, without warning, and without any trace of Law Technique.

His entire body was broken in half at the waist, and he was dead beyond any doubt.

In the distance, beyond the range of his Divine Sense, stood a towering ancient tree. Among its lush branches stood a young man who slowly straightened up, holding a large-caliber Sniper Rifle, and smiled slightly. "Headshot."

The large-caliber Sniper Rifle in Chen Wang's hand was a product of Winter. It was extremely powerful, far more so than ordinary heavy sniper rifles, and could directly cripple a level four Zombies.

He seized the opportunity and launched a sneak attack, killing Sky Void Daoist with two shots.

At this moment, Chen Wang put away the sniper rifle and then used his sword control technique to arrive in front of Sky Void Daoist.

His body was scattered all over the ground, beaten to a bloody pulp, creating a visually striking scene.

Chen Wang put away the Immortal Slaughtering Bow on the ground.

From beginning to end, all he feared was the Immortal Slaughtering Bow.

He used a formation diagram to set up a large formation here, luring Sky Void Daoist to this place.

Despite this, he did not attack directly. Instead, he used a hidden Heart Sword to disrupt Sky Void Daoist's Sea of Consciousness, and finally shot him in the head.

The reason Chen Wang didn't activate the Grand Etherial Divine Thunderbolt Formation for a final strike was that he didn't want to completely shatter his soul.

Otherwise, under that terrifying lightning, his soul would probably be completely destroyed.

At this moment, Chen Wang calmed his mind and used his Soul Searching Technique to devour his scattered soul and read his memories.

The soul of this Sky Void Daoist was far more powerful than those of the others.

Chen Wang only read a portion of it, but that portion was enough.

Chen Wang narrowed his eyes, murderous intent filling them. "So it's Huo Yun."

"So that's who's collecting protection money behind this old guy!"

Chen Wang had spoken with Huo Yun before. Huo Yun's demeanor was quite extraordinary, and he couldn't see anything wrong with him. However, the last time Chen Wang took the Jade-Eyed Nether Orchid, the danger was so high that he vaguely felt something was amiss, and he became more vigilant about it.

"Now we've already offended the entity behind that Demon Fox, and there's that bastard Huo Yun in the Ethereal Immortal Sect too."

Chen Wang has learned a lot from their memories. Several Guest Elder are also close to Huo Yun Huo Yun and are his confidants. They probably won't hesitate to do anything if anything happens.

"The Ethereal Immortal Sect is rich in Spiritual Qi and can be considered a treasure land for cultivating immortality, but the interpersonal relationships are a bit too complicated."

Chen Wang frowned; he didn't want to stay here any longer.

After cleaning up the traces, Chen Wang returned to the Ethereal Immortal Sect.

Back at the Ethereal Immortal Sect, Chen Wang was alone in the courtyard, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"Huo Yun clearly has a powerful backer in the Ethereal Immortal Sect, but we don't know which Golden Core Stage cultivator he is yet. If we provoke someone of that level, we'll be in big trouble."

Chen Wang muttered to himself,

His fingers tapped lightly on the table as he considered the pros and cons.

If he wasn't very clear about the Ethereal Immortal Sect before, after killing these people and reading their memories, he gained a general understanding of the Ethereal Immortal Sect.

The Peak Master of Embrace Emerald Peak is a good person, and he is extremely protective of his own. He values the cultivators of Embrace Emerald Peak very much. Since they are mostly female cultivators, the people of Embrace Emerald Peak rarely interact with the outside world, and there is little communication between fellow disciples. However, the strength of Embrace Emerald Peak should not be underestimated, as it is full of experts.

"Feng Lin and Xu Yun won't cause any trouble here, but if I stay, I don't know how many open and hidden attacks I'll face."

Chen Wang had already decided to leave; there was no need for him to stay and cause trouble any longer.

"Huo Yun must be eliminated, otherwise I won't be able to keep the Immortal Slaughtering Bow in peace. I'm afraid there might be some Secret Method that can find its trace, and I can't just keep using it forever." A murderous intent appeared in Chen Wang's eyes.

Winter

Chen Wang is refining the Immortal Slaughtering Bow.

This black bow was far more powerful than any of the Spirit Artifact he possessed.

Chen Wang could feel the surging power within it; it was no ordinary product.

"With so many trump cards in Sky Void Daoist's hands, these Foundation Establishment cultivators should not be underestimated."

"With Huo Yun backed by a powerful figure, no one knows whether he still possesses a treasure like the Immortal Slaughtering Bow."

Chen Wang narrowed his eyes.

To deal with Huo Yun, we absolutely cannot act rashly.

During this time, he worked hard to refine the bow.

To avoid being noticed, he chose to locate the location in the Winter.

However, a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the results were not particularly ideal.

The auction was about to begin, and Huo Yun returned to his sect at that moment.

He looked travel-worn and somewhat weathered, but his eyes were bright, clearly indicating that he had gained something during this time.

In the pursuit of immortality, time knows no bounds; it is common for cultivators to go into seclusion for three to five years at a time.

However, it is very difficult to find a leisurely life as Guest Elder in the Ethereal Immortal Sect, as there are tasks almost every month.

Chen Wang took on another task, and now he was free from being targeted by others.

This task was no different from any other, and Chen Wang easily solved it with his abilities.

After Huo Yun returned, Chen Wang met with him.

Huo Yun remained outwardly calm, as did Chen Wang, both appearing to be very measured.

However, Chen Wang knew that Huo Yun would definitely have some doubts after learning about the deaths of Sky Void Daoist and the others.

"On this mountain peak where the Guest Elder reside, there are others watching my dwelling. During this time, they should have drawn some conclusions and guessed that it has nothing to do with me," Chen Wang thought to himself.

Chen Wang's cultivation level has also advanced by leaps and bounds in the past month, but it will still take some time before he reaches the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, which is extremely difficult.

Special antiques are becoming increasingly rare in the Winter.

Although Chen Wang's Divine Sense was powerful, it would be extremely difficult for him to improve it further.

Winter

Chen Wang arrived at the research institute and met the Old Director, Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen was well aware of his purpose. He handed Chen Wang a cigarette and said with a smile, "Don't panic, let me stretch these old bones a bit."

This person always gave Chen Wang a sense of unfathomable mystery.

Chen Wang sensed that this person's limits were not limited to this.

Although he possessed a deadly weapon like the Immortal Slaughtering Bow, he did not intend to kill this person. He simply wanted to overwhelm him with sheer strength and subdue him.

Moreover, after fighting him so many times, Chen Wang had started using him as an experimental subject, a good opportunity to hone his own skills.

Upon hearing Jiang Zhen's words, Chen Wang simply waved his hand, took a drag of a cigarette, and exhaled smoke.

Jiang Zhen performed a set of movements similar to radio calisthenics on the side, with a slight sweat on his forehead.

"You weren't this troublesome when we fought before," Chen Wang frowned.

"I used to be young, didn't I? Lately, I feel like I'm aging faster and faster," Jiang Zhen said.

He is the Earth Knight, capable of manipulating Earth Element, and possesses abundant power simply by standing on the ground.

The two faced each other from a distance, and Jiang Zhen suddenly said seriously, "Alright, come on."

He doesn't seem to have the demeanor of a master, but in reality, besides Chen Wang, he is the undisputed number one master in the Winter, incredibly strong.

Ordinary fifth-tier warriors would have no chance against him.

As Chen Wang clashed with him, he suddenly unleashed the Void Great Palm Seal, five flesh-colored fingers appearing and extending directly from behind Jiang Zhen! Jiang Zhen's eyes lit up.

Then a rich yellow light appeared on his body, like armor. Upon closer inspection, this armor made him look very tall and robust.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

This old guy has some new tricks up his sleeve; he clearly didn't reveal them before.

Heart Sword, Void Great Hand Seal, Fire Control of a Fifth-Order Little Fire God, Great River Sword Art, Flying Sword...

Chen Wang tried many methods but failed to capture Jiang Zhen.

The two fought for half an hour, making the desert land even more desolate.

Everywhere there were traces of fire, the sand had been burned into glass, but Chen Wang still couldn't break through Jiang Zhen's defenses.

Unlike before when he would break a light sweat after doing a set of radio calisthenics, Jiang Zhen remained as unfathomable as ever, always smiling.

Chen Wang originally intended to give up, but then a thought struck him, and he took out the Immortal Slaughtering Bow.

"I was reluctant to use this, but your tortoise shell is indeed formidable; I admit I can't break it."

Jiang Zhen was not surprised by Chen Wang's ability to manipulate objects out of thin air when he saw the large black bow.

He already knew this.

This person has an unfathomable quality; he harbors countless secrets that others cannot discern.

Jiang Zhen said, "I am very interested in your amazing props, but the bow you took out this time is a bit dangerous."

He spread his hands and said, "You wouldn't want the Morning Star Research Institute to be completely paralyzed without me as its director."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "So, you're a little scared."

Jiang Zhen said, "I've already said it before, I've already given up, but you always think I'm hiding something and you don't want to believe me, so there's nothing I can do."

Chen Wang raised his eyebrows, but did not respond to him. He simply said coldly, "Today we'll see if you can withstand this arrow. If you can't, the Morning Star Research Institute should just change its director. I think Vice Director Lao Sun is not bad either."

Jiang Zhen smiled wryly and said, "Lao Sun doesn't know anything. He was the dumbest when I was teaching him. Speaker Chen, you should think this through."

Seeing that Chen Wang was still drawing his bow and arrow, Jiang Zhen thought for a moment and then immediately said, "Chairman Chen, the research institute has recently developed a new drug, and I haven't reported the results to you yet."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What new drug?"

His hand remained on the bowstring, and he did not let go.

Jiang Zhen laughed and said, "Put this prop down first, it's making me a little uneasy."

Chen Wang had fought him many times and knew his temperament and character; this man could not be suppressed purely by force.

To truly convince this person, it's not enough to simply surpass them in ability.

It really isn't an easy thing.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Wang put down the Immortal Slaughtering Bow in his hand.

The two walked and talked, and eventually sat on the roof of an abandoned car to smoke.

Strangely enough, despite having witnessed countless ruthless and cunning schemes among the people of Winter, Chen Wang inexplicably developed a degree of trust in this enigmatic Old Director.

I always thought that although this person was hiding some secrets, it wouldn't be so bad as to break off relations.

It was a very strange feeling, and Chen Wang couldn't explain where it came from.

The two men smoked and looked into the distance.

Jiang Zhen took out a potion and handed it to Chen Wang, a hint of fanaticism in his eyes. "This is called the Genetic Boiling Agent. I have already tested it. After taking it, it can enhance all of your abilities: strength, speed, reaction, and most importantly, it can enhance your Genetic Ability."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Enhance Genetic Ability?"

He looked at the new medicine and examined it carefully.

At this moment, Jiang Zhen looked different from when he was fighting earlier; there was a kind of obsessiveness in his eyes that was unique to researchers.

"Based on the current time, it can enhance one level, but the duration is relatively short, only about five minutes."

Chen Wang asked, "Can a fourth-tier rank be upgraded to a fifth-tier rank?"

Jiang Zhen straightened up and said with a smile, "That's right, what do you think? This is a groundbreaking new drug."

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised to hear this.

There is an insurmountable gap between the fourth and fifth orders; it is a difference in the level of life.

Unexpectedly, this medicine allowed me to overcome the obstacle in such a short time.
