Mad Doctor No. 9

Wang Tian stood up and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. See you on the bronze cauldron."

When I stepped out of the tent, it was already dark.

The camp was brightly lit, and the people of the Dark Palace were all busy.

Under the cover of night, Wang Tian quietly made his way towards a specially made tent to the west.

Two guards stood outside the tent, smoking and chatting.

"I've heard that if tonight's ceremony goes well, we will all receive God's blessing."

"Yes, Lord Ghost Face said that the gifts of God can grant us extraordinary power."

Wang Tian walked to the back of the tent, took a dagger, cut open the canvas, and crawled inside.

The tent was filled with instruments, and in the very center of the tent was a glass cabinet containing the Celestial Master's Seal.

However, the cabinet is locked with a combination lock, and forcing it open will trigger the alarm.

Just as Wang Tian was pondering how to deal with it, footsteps came from outside the door.

He quickly hid behind the equipment.

Zhou Ming and Ghost Face walked in.

"Reporting back to you, sir, everything is ready," Zhou Ming said.

"Alright." Ghost Face walked to the glass cabinet, entered the password, and took out the Celestial Master Seal. "Using this as a guide, and then offering a pure Yin body as a sacrifice, we should be able to open the gate to the dimensional realm."

He looked at the jade seal in his hand, his eyes filled with fanaticism: "Once 'that one' arrives, this world... will be ours."

Wang Tian also secretly observed from his hiding place, watching the two leave.

He had already memorized the password: 19450902.

This is the same code as the one used on the basement floor of the Yamamoto Building.

He opened the glass cabinet and took out the Celestial Master's Seal.

Upon holding the jade seal, it felt warm and smooth like jade, with a faint golden glow.

Wang Tian breathed a sigh of relief. "Got it."

Suddenly, the alarm went off!

"Someone has broken in!"

Wang Tian's expression changed drastically. He'd been tricked! The password was wrong!

He rushed out of the tent and bumped into three men in black.

"Grab him!" The man in black robes lunged forward.

Wang Tian didn't linger in the fight. He threw out a few silver needles to force his opponent back, then turned and ran.

"He's there!" More guards surrounded them.

Wang Tian fought as he ran, sustaining several more wounds.

But he couldn't stop; he had to get to the bronze cauldron.

The camp was in complete chaos.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Tian rushed into the dense forest and ran wildly towards the center of the ruins.

The pursuers were hot on their heels.

Just as they were about to reach the ruins, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them—Ghost Face!

"Wang Tian, ​​it really is you." Ghost Face sneered, "Hand over the Celestial Master's Seal, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse."

"Dream on!" Wang Tian gripped the Celestial Master's Seal tightly.

Without another word, Ghost Face swung his black robe and struck out with a palm.

The palm strike was fierce, carrying a chilling aura.

Wang Tian met the attack with a full-force punch.

boom!

As their fists and palms collided, Wang Tian was sent flying backward, crashing into a tree and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The gap is too big! A mid-stage Grandmaster completely crushes Wang Tian, ​​who only has physical strength!

"You're courting death." The masked figure approached step by step.

Wang Tian gritted his teeth, took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, and poured out three red pills—the last three life-saving pills!

He swallowed it all in one gulp!

The violent effects of the drug exploded, turning Wang Tian's skin bright red and causing his veins to bulge.

This is like drinking poison to quench thirst; he will surely die after the effects wear off, but at this moment, he has gained temporary strength!

"Again!" Wang Tian roared, taking the initiative to attack Ghost Face.

This time, the two were evenly matched.

Wang Tian fought with a life-or-death mentality, ignoring his injuries and focusing solely on offense.

Forced to retreat repeatedly by this fighting style, Ghost Face was both shocked and furious: "Are you insane!"

"I'm crazy!" Wang Tian punched Ghost Face in the chest, knocking him back several steps.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Tianchong rushed toward the bronze cauldron.

Beside the tripod, Zhang Qingyun was already tied to a stone pillar, surrounded by eight men in black robes, who were performing a ceremony.

"Stop him!" Ghost Face shouted fiercely.

The men in black robes pounced, but Wang Tian's combat power surged at this moment, like a tiger among sheep, instantly knocking down four of them.

"Master Zhang!" Wang Tian cut the rope.

Zhang Qingyun said weakly, "Give me the Celestial Master's Seal..."

Wang Tian handed her the jade seal.

Zhang Qingyun bit his tongue, spraying his blood onto the seal, and then formed a hand seal:

"The profound origin of heaven and earth, the root of all energy—the Celestial Master suppresses the demon, seal!"

The Celestial Master's Seal erupted with dazzling golden light, transforming into a golden talisman that pressed down on the bronze cauldron.

But the black energy inside the cauldron surged violently, resisting the golden light.

The entire island shook violently, and more cracks appeared in the ground, from which black tentacles emerged!

"Too late!" the masked demon laughed maniacally. "The ritual is more than half complete, and the gate to the dimensional realm is about to open! You can't stop it!"

Sure enough, above the bronze cauldron, space began to distort, and a black vortex slowly formed.

A terrifying roar came from the vortex, as if countless monsters were about to rush out.

"What should we do?!" Zhang Qingyun asked anxiously.

Wang Tian looked at the jade pendant on his chest, then at the groove on the bronze tripod.

Take a gamble!

He took off the jade pendant and rushed towards the bronze tripod.

"You're asking for death!" Ghost Face slammed down with a palm strike.

Wang Tian neither dodged nor avoided the blow, but took it head-on, using the force to lunge to the edge of the cauldron and press the jade pendant into the groove!

hum-

The jade pendant burst forth with an unprecedented white light! The bronze cauldron trembled violently, and the black energy inside was suppressed by the white light.

The black vortex above also began to become unstable, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

"No!!!" Ghost's eyes widened in horror. "How do you have the Dragon Gate Society's Grand Master's token?!"

"Because I am the new Grand Master of the Dragon Gate Society!" Wang Tian roared, "In my name, I reseal this realm!"

The jade pendant shone brightly with white light, merging with the golden light of the Celestial Master's Seal, transforming into a pillar of light that shot into the black vortex.

A piercing scream came from within the vortex, and then it began to shrink.

"Stop him!" Ghost Face charged forward like a madman.

But it was too late.

The beam of light completely engulfed the vortex, and the space returned to calm.

The black mist inside the bronze cauldron completely dissipated, turning back into a clear blue liquid.

The seal... has been reinforced!

"Pfft—" Wang Tian spat out a mouthful of black blood. The effects of the medicine wore off, and he collapsed to the ground, barely breathing.

Zhang Qingyun rushed over and hugged him, crying, "Wang Tian! Wang Tian!"

The masked figure stared at the ruined ritual, a mad glint in its eyes: "You... destroyed everything... then die!"

He took out a small remote control and pressed a button.

"On this island... I've planted enough explosives to flatten the whole island... Let's die together!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions erupted across the island! The entire Penglai Immortal Island was engulfed in flames!

"Hurry!" Zhang Qingyun carried Wang Tian on his back and ran desperately toward the port.

But the explosions were so frequent that there was nowhere to escape.

Just as they were about to be engulfed by the sea of ​​fire, suddenly, the sound of a ship's horn came from the sea.

A warship cut through the waves! Xiao Hao and Lin Qingfeng stood at the bow!

"Wang Tian! Hang in there!" Xiao Hao shouted.

The helicopter took off from the warship and lowered the rope.

Zhang Qingyun grabbed the rope and hoisted Wang Tian onto the plane.

Below, Penglai Island was shattered into pieces by the explosion and slowly sank into the sea.

Standing on the ruins, Ghost Face watched the departing helicopter and laughed maniacally: "Useless! The ritual may have failed, but 'that great one' has already awakened a part of Him... He will come looking for you... Hahaha..."

Boom!

With a final, deafening roar, the entire island sank completely.

Only a huge whirlpool remained on the sea surface, lingering for a long time.

On the helicopter, Wang Tian fell into a coma.

The jade pendant on his chest had shattered and turned to dust.

But deep within his consciousness, an aged voice resounded:

"Child, you have done very well. You have completed the first step in fulfilling the mission of the Dragon Gate Society. But the real test... has only just begun."

"The Dark Temple won't give up, and there's more than one gate to the boundary. There are even more powerful enemies lurking in the shadows."

"Wake up. Carry the will of the Lungmen Society and continue on."

"This world... needs you."
