Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

The foreign concessions of Shanghai.

Suburbs.

Ningshan.

Ningshan Mountain is only 300 meters above sea level, but it is already the highest mountain in Shanghai.

Because of its proximity to the Shanghai International Settlement, this area was occupied by foreigners from the Settlement.

Many foreigners built their villas at the foot of the gentle southern slope of Ningshan Mountain.

The shady slope of Ningshan is covered with a large area of ​​dense evergreen forest.

A powerful Western family occupied the area and erected a barbed wire fence.

They also arranged for heavily armed elite guards to protect them.

On the surface, the central area enclosed by this barbed wire fence consists of only a few bungalows.

But underground, there is indeed a hidden world.

Underground on the shady slope of Ningshan.

Inside a secret laboratory.

A tall man was chained to the laboratory table.

"Prepare for the thirteenth experiment!"

"Target: Qi and Blood Realm Martial Artist, ID 007."

"Electrical stimulation to record the skin's resistance to electric shock."

"In the experimental section, a portion of the veins was extracted to observe the vein tissue structure."

"Remove the heart and transplant it into the heart of the mythical lion king!"

"Increase the electrical stimulation to activate the beast's heart!"

"The test subject's life index has skyrocketed!"

"Oh no! The test subject has broken free of control!"

"Emergency help! Emergency help! Emergency help!"

"..."

This underground experimental base, secretly built with investment from Westerners, appears to be conducting some horrific experiments.

Such experiments are being repeatedly performed on various experimental platforms.

The deepest part of the underground experimental base.

A red lacquered coffin was securely locked by chains as thick as an infant's arm.

However, the commotion inside the red lacquered coffin grew louder and louder. Each frantic ramming of the coffin produced a piercing clanging sound from the chains.

"The mysterious and ancient Eastern Continent is truly fascinating."

"This creature in the coffin has lived for at least a thousand years, existing somewhere between life and death."

"His combat power even surpasses that of the so-called martial arts masters of the Great New Republic!"

"If we could thoroughly study it and mass-produce such bio-warriors, then our Western powers would be invincible!"

A Westerner with a white coat, curly blond hair, a high nose, and blue eyes stared at the red-lacquered coffin with a fascinated expression.

"Dr. William, I advise you to stay away from this monstrosity."

"Although we've made ample preparations, no one can guarantee that the monster in the coffin won't break free of its chains and wreak havoc!"

"And if you want to dissect and study this monster, you first need to calm her down."

"But we've exhausted all methods; all known methods of calming it have proven ineffective!"

A red-haired assistant with a graceful figure and handsome features, standing next to William, spoke expressionlessly.

"Anna, I know!"

"I'm just too excited!"

"The ancient Eastern Continent always gives us some unexpected surprises."

"And the Republic of China is an ancient country with a history of thousands of years."

"The path of cultivation here consists of 360 different trades."

"There are also all sorts of strange beasts and spirits, which are truly breathtaking."

"The werewolves, witches, and vampires of our Western Continent are utterly pathetic!"

William said excitedly.

Of course, their Western Continent follows a technological evolutionary path, with various kinds of firearms emerging one after another, allowing them to rival gods with mortal bodies.

Moreover, they have made groundbreaking progress in areas such as bioengineering, gene technology, and bio-warriors.

In the ancient Middle Ages, they might have feared these dark creatures such as wizards, spirits, vampires, and werewolves who possessed various magical abilities.

But now, it's all about attacking and defending against the aliens!

"Dr. William, our Western continent also has mystical paths of cultivation, such as alchemists like yourself, and knightly training. Why do you boost others' morale while diminishing your own?"

Anna, the red-haired assistant, spoke up somewhat indignantly.

She was not subordinate to this genius, mad alchemist.

She was sent by the group to protect and supervise this person.

So she didn't care at all what Dr. William thought.

On the contrary, she quite enjoyed contradicting this mad doctor.

"oh."

"I almost forgot."

"Our assistant Anna is a great knight."

"To be honest, I'm quite curious about your ancient knight breathing technique and the mysterious factors within your bodies."

"How about Anna's assistant contribute some human tissue for me to study?"

Dr. William didn't care about Anna's attitude; instead, he wanted to make Anna his research subject.

Anna didn't speak, but gave Dr. William a death stare.

"Aha!"

"The weather is really nice today."

"I think I'll go outside for some fresh air."

"Arrange for someone to capture the monster's owner as soon as possible; perhaps we can learn how to control the monster from him."

"If we can't catch one alive, a dead one will do."

"I can make corpses talk!"

"And it also prevents our secret base from being leaked!"

Dr. William grinned and changed the subject.

…………

Midnight.

Shencheng.

No. 9, Wenhua Street.

Lin Rumeng's residence.

Bang bang bang!

A series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

Jiang Wangzu, who was lying on the bed with Lin Rumeng in his arms and fast asleep, immediately opened his eyes.

"Who is it, knocking on my door in the middle of the night?"

Lin Rumeng was also awakened by the noise and spoke with a displeased expression.

She was so tired.

Jiang Wangzu is really good at causing trouble!

She was completely overwhelmed!

But then she thought about it again and realized something didn't seem right.

Her courtyard is very private, and very few people know about it.

Who on earth would come to her place, and why would they be knocking on her door in the middle of the night?

"There's the sound of fighting!"

"Stay here and don't go out."

"If there are any problems, take Yu Ying and Yu Chan and go out through the back door."

"I'm going out to take a look."

Jiang Wangzu quickly dressed and then walked out the door.

Before he could even get close to the gate, the heavy wooden door shattered, and a figure flew towards him.

He used the Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada, a technique he had mastered to its fullest extent, to easily dodge the attack, leaving the figure to fall to the ground.

"Cough cough cough."

"Brother Jiang, it's really too difficult to see you!"

"You're quite the cunning rabbit with three burrows!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

Jiang Wangzu looked closely and realized that the person who had flown into the courtyard was none other than Luo Shiqi, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Old Luo?"

"Why do you look so disheveled?"

"By the way, where is your Corpse Puppet Ancestor? Why don't I see you carrying it on your back?"

"Could it be that your Corpse Puppet Ancestor has run away?"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Wangzu immediately helped Luo Shiqi, who was covered in blood and dressed in rags, to his feet.

"Brother Jiang, if I weren't truly desperate, I really wouldn't want to trouble you."

"My family's ancestral corpse puppet was stolen by Westerners."

"They've been hunting me down lately, maybe to eliminate me completely, or maybe to capture me alive."

As soon as Luo Shiqi finished speaking, two tall, well-defined Westerners dressed in tailcoats and wearing hats walked into Jiang Wangzu's courtyard.

However, the two people's movements were stiff, which looked very strange.
