Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Experimental subject?

Is Xiaobai an experimental subject?

A murderous glint appeared in Yang Xian's eyes: "You guys really are beasts!"

The next second, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked the cloaked man hard in the chest!

"Bang--!"

With a dull thud, the cloaked figure was kicked away and crashed heavily into a concrete pillar.

"How could the exorcism corps be so depraved as to use living people for experiments! You are trampling on life!"

Jiang Mengyun gritted her teeth.

This behavior of treating her fellow human beings as consumables made her feel physically nauseous.

"An exorcism guild?" The cloaked figure lay on the ground, coughing up blood continuously.

"Heh... Don't compare our 'Glory Society' to those blockheads!"

"They don't understand the true value of monsters!"

He struggled to lift his head, but his eyes gleamed with fervor, and his voice grew increasingly loud.

"You mortals have no idea how great our cause is!"

"To exchange the lives of a few for the future of all humanity is their supreme honor! It is a necessary sacrifice for the continuation of humankind!"

"We have successfully extracted the key genes from the monster!"

"Soon, humanity will no longer need to cultivate arduously, nor will it need to face the pain of extinction, and will be able to possess world-destroying power!"

"The powerful force you speak of..." Yang Xian walked step by step in front of him, looking down at him, "is it the ability to transform living people into those inhuman, ghost-like monsters?"

"That doesn't even deserve to be called research!"

"Bang--!"

Yang Xian punched the cloaked man in the face, and teeth mixed with blood and saliva flew out.

"That was just an accident!"

The cloaked figure roared incoherently, "The chairman said the research is still in the experimental stage, and it's normal for accidents to happen! It won't be long before we completely master this power!"

He looked at Bai Chuyi, who was not far away.

"Bai Hong's daughter is the key! Her constitution is very special! As long as you hand her over to us..."

"I'll teach your mother!"

Yang Xian raised his straight knife and cleanly pierced the cloaked man's heart.

"Why should he sacrifice the living, breathing people around him for a 'grand future' conceived by a madman?"

"Sacrificing your own kind? Gaining power from monsters?"

"I wouldn't be interested in that kind of future!"

The cloaked figure coughed up another mouthful of blood, but the smile on his face did not disappear.

"Heh... mortals... can never truly understand our greatness..."

"I'll tell you a secret... just between us..."

"The injection I just received... wasn't complete... there's a very small chance... it might self-destruct..."

"Now, isn't it... about time... haha..."

In his final moments, he let out a maniacal laugh.

Yang Xian's heart sank!

He then realized what was happening.

This guy is stalling for time while spouting his crazy theories!

All she wanted to do was extract information about Xiaobai from him.

They didn't even realize the other party's true intentions at first!

A third-realm demon self-destructs!

Its power is enough to level this area!

Yang Xian and his companions were able to escape unharmed by hiding deep inside the sturdy underground parking garage.

But Jiang Yu and Xia Ming had just chased after that heavily injured monster!

They had no idea about it!

Yang Xian immediately turned around.

Those two people came looking for me and that's when they got into trouble. I can't just stand by and watch them die!

"Yang Xian, where are you going?"

Jiang Mengyun hurriedly called out.

"Stop this disaster." Yang Xian's voice came from ahead.

"What will you use to stop me?!"

Jiang Mengyun subconsciously asked in return, completely unable to understand what Yang Xian, an ordinary person, could do.

"Yang Xian!" Lin Qingxue caught up, her beautiful eyes filled with worry. "He just said there's only a very small chance...maybe...maybe it won't happen?"

She wasn't naive; it was just that looking at Yang Xian's swaying body made her heart ache.

Yang Xian was exhausted from that battle!

"Sorry, wait for me to come back."

Yang Xian did not turn around.

You can't entrust someone else's life to "maybe".

Even knowing the consequences of what has happened, I still try to convince myself that it won't happen and I'm unwilling to face the impending danger.

Because of human laziness, people inevitably have a sense of wishful thinking.

Before he finished speaking, Yang Xian exerted force with his feet, his figure turning into a blur and instantly disappearing at the end of the passage.

The crowd was left standing there dumbfounded.

"Yang..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Mengyun froze.

What speed was that?

That speed is something no ordinary person can possess!

An outrageous idea suddenly popped into Jiang Mengyun's mind.

Warrior? !

Is Yang Xian a martial artist?

It was only then that she realized something.

Why is it that I haven't seen the "ice-type martial artist" I've been keeping an eye on all the way here?

Yang Xian... that ice-type martial artist!

With the power of the second realm, he severely injured a demon of the third realm...

That terrifying chill, and that enormous ice dragon...

Was it all caused by Yang Xian?

------

at the same time.

Not far from the exit of the underground parking garage.

"Click!"

Jiang Yu slowly sheathed his sword.

Behind him, the third-realm demon had a thin line of blood between its brows.

Its massive body crashed to the ground, life extinguished.

"Hey! Bro, aren't you going to take this corpse to claim your reward? It's a third-realm demon; it'll get you a lot of merit points."

Xia Ming watched Jiang Yu turn and leave, and couldn't help but remind him.

"Here you go." Jiang Yu left without looking back.

His primary mission on this trip was to protect the safety of his second sister, Jiang Mengyun.

For him, casually killing a heavily wounded monster was just a matter of course.

Not worth mentioning.

"Wow..." Xia Ming whistled.

"The Jiang family is indeed wealthy and powerful; they don't even care about the corpses of third-realm demons."

Xia Ming rubbed his hands together happily, his heart filled with joy.

The merit points earned from the complete corpse of a third-realm demon are equivalent to those from her painstakingly hunting ten second-realm demons!

Qingxue is truly my lucky star!

Taking her out was a steal!

"That's such a good deal for me!"

"After receiving the reward, divide the snow in half."

Xia Ming happily pulled out his dagger, ready to take the monster's head.

But just as the dagger was about to touch the monster...

A sudden change has occurred!

The muscles beneath the skin of the already dead monster's corpse began to writhe strangely.

His entire body expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Black demonic energy overflowed wildly, and countless dazzling blood-red cracks appeared on the surface of the corpse!

"What... what's going on?"

Xia Ming was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.

Jiang Yu, who was not far away, also noticed that something was wrong.

He turned around abruptly, his pupils shrinking sharply.

"not good!"

"It's going to explode!!"
