Boom!
The Temporal Distortion Field enveloping the laboratory shattered with a thunderous crash. Ripples spread through spacetime, and wild white currents surged around the two men.
The hem of the white lab coat flapped wildly, as did the Doctor's trembling heart.
Time... stopped!!
Divine might descended upon the mortal world. The laboratory, the Fortune Commerce Association, North Mang, the East Continent, even the entire world... all froze at that instant.
Shing-!
The General's Saber left its sheath in an instant, and a brilliant blade flash swept upward through the Doctor's body.
But the instant time resumed, Gao Wenyuan's mind reeled.
"No!!"
A crimson line appeared across the Doctor's face. It grew longer and longer, then came a wet tearing sound...
Blood splattered. The two sections of the Doctor's body slid out of alignment before finally splitting apart and collapsing into a pool of blood.
"Teacher! Teacher..."
As though he had lost his mind, Gao Wenyuan scrambled over, trembling as he cradled the Doctor's corpse and tried to piece it back together. Blood soon stained his white lab coat red.
Watching this display of devotion between teacher and student, Bai Ye frowned slightly. In his vision, the Endless Deep Sea surged, almost overlapping with reality.
Within that deep sea, a White Jade Bridge spanning heaven and earth remained firmly in place.
The [Spirit Bridge] was still there!!
This was the Doctor's clone!
Bai Ye's expression darkened. Fuck, so the Doctor had been using a clone from the very beginning?
Seriously, the Forbidden Flower hadn't even emerged yet. Did you really need to be this fucking cautious?
You were the Doctor, one of the Ten Kings, and you spent every day hiding in your laboratory. Who the fuck could come kill you? Even then, you had to hide your real body?
