The Law of Heaven

Chapter 101 Accompanying the Old Man for a Walk

A torrential downpour was raging in the misty mountains, the sound of the rain like a mountain torrent mixed with the sounds of gunfire and artillery. Faintly visible were the flickering flames in the darkness, like fireflies in the dead of night.

The off-road vehicle traveled along the mountain road, with gunfire and flames burning in the dense forest along the way.

The heavily armed combat units moved through the dense forest like ghosts, carrying out precise massacres of the experimental subjects lurking in the darkness, advancing with unstoppable momentum.

Unable to confront the Shi family's elite troops head-on, they resorted to guerrilla tactics, fighting and retreating simultaneously. However, they suffered heavy losses in the process, with extremely high casualties.

The Deep Blue Alliance's siege of the Shi family began, involving nine combat sequences and thousands of hunters.

The gospel is on the edge of a cliff, watching the rain with a fervent gaze.

"Forn is dead."

The elderly Fu Bao, leaning on his cane, walked up behind him and said with emotion, "Fortunately, the mission is complete, and Ye Xun is on his way. They have obtained the miniature reactor."

Fu Hong smiled nonchalantly: "So what if they're dead? We can have as many of those kinds of trash as we want. Back in the day, your generation of Five Blessings were all top-notch masters. What kind of rotten fish and shrimp are these now?"

Fu Bao clicked his tongue: "I remember you recruited all these people, but you look down on them."

With his hands behind his back, Fu Hong sneered, "They're just lowly people, frogs in a well their whole lives. Only suffering and hatred can unleash a little bit of their potential. Although they're still clumsy, they're barely enough to be pawns."

"So what kind of person is considered a superior person?"

"Those I can't understand are naturally superior people."

"for example?"

For example, facing south.

Why are you so concerned about him?

"Because I still don't understand why he risked his life to come in here. He seems to have suffered a complete defeat, but I always feel... something is wrong."

Rain fell from the treetops, seemingly engulfing the illusory body of the gospel, making his sinister smile mask appear even more profound.

Fu Bao shook his head and chuckled: "You're starting to become suspicious too. As long as A-Yun isn't affected, that's fine. Speaking of which, this is the first time he's asked to eat on his own initiative. It's like he's changed his personality. It's really strange."

I remember that before, after each meal, the two siblings would vomit and cry incessantly, wanting to commit suicide but unable to... It was truly heartbreaking.

Fuyin chuckled, his smile enigmatic and profound: "That makes sense. Even if Ruan Yun and Ruan Qi can retain their self-awareness during the evolutionary process, the will of Heaven will still erode them. The more they resist eating, the weaker they become, and the will of Heaven will seize the opportunity to dominate their souls, devouring their blood and food. When they regain consciousness and witness it all, they will be even more devastated."

After this cycle repeats, the siblings' personalities will be affected, and their souls will be severely eroded. You could think of it as a kind of soul transformation; for example, when my spiritual essence mixes into your body, your thoughts and memories will gradually take on my shape. Until finally, when you think in my way, you become me.

In ancient times, this method was called possession. Haven't you noticed that the siblings' relationship has become distant? Both Ruan Yun and Ruan Qi have become more cruel and cold-blooded than before. If it were them back then, they would never have done something like killing each other.

Fu Bao exclaimed, "Your understanding of God far surpasses mine; you've put in a lot of effort over the years!"

"That's natural."

The gospel speaker said indifferently, "I don't believe in Ruan Yun, and of course I don't believe in Ruan Qi. I believe in the power of God. Even if they obtained the bloodline of the Mirage Dragon, they are still human. How could humans possibly resist the power of God?"

A faint rumbling sound could be heard.

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the convoy of combat vehicles swept across the battlefield. A young man in camouflage combat gear sat in a vehicle, directing the course of the battle.

The Shi family's troops were routed before him.

Fu Bao gazed at the valley and clicked his tongue in amazement, "The Shi family suffered heavy casualties. I never expected that Ruan Yang would also achieve the Grand Rank at some point, and his strength is formidable. With him as the commander, the battle formations have been unstoppable this time."

Gospel sneered, "Die, the more the better. The more people die, the more concentrated the spiritual energy will be here, and the seal on the forbidden path will loosen further."

When the forbidden path was mentioned, his eyes deepened, a hint of gloom and apprehension flashing within them.

Over the years, he had dreamed of reaching the end of that road, but he had never been able to achieve his wish.

Even each forced entry left him with deep psychological trauma, almost causing his beliefs to collapse.

Over the years, Gospel had doubted whether he was qualified, so he sought out countless people to try the forbidden path, but all of them failed without exception.

Even Ruan Yun and Ruan Qi were not exempt; the two siblings faced particularly strong rejection, for reasons unknown.

"The Deep Blue Alliance, more than a hundred years ago, found the Formless Rebirth Secret Technique from this forbidden path. How did they manage to get in back then?"

Fu Bao raised the question that had been on his mind: "Was there some secret to the Deep Blue Alliance back then?"

Fuyin shook his head and explained, "As far as I know, the Deep Blue Alliance back then didn't really step out of the forbidden path. After all, the Ruan family came from the Nine Songs. They had a son-in-law who was a direct descendant of a certain secret family, but he was ostracized for some reason and only awakened his abilities several years later."

Fu Bao pondered for a moment and said, "Spiritual heirloom syndrome?"

Gospel nodded and said, "Yes, Spirit Inheritance Syndrome doesn't help combat power itself, but it always has some strange and unique characteristics that can come in handy at crucial moments. Back then, the Deep Blue Alliance relied on that Spirit Inheritance Syndrome to find the secret technique of Formless Rebirth on the Forbidden Path."

Even that spirit-inheritance disorder couldn't lead them out of the forbidden path. Later, the spirit-inheritance disorder died, and it's said that he left behind some offspring, but very few of them possessed the aptitude for awakening. Now they are just ordinary people scattered around the peninsula.

I had originally planned to search for the descendant of that spirit-inheritance disorder to see if I could force my way into the forbidden path, but in the end, I was just clinging to outdated methods. Therefore, the treasure at the deepest part of the forbidden path has remained untouched until now.

If the records of the Blissful Assembly are correct, the entity at the end of the Forbidden Path should be able to control the operation of the ritual of Formless Rebirth. After that supreme deity devours the Mirage Dragon, we can then seize the divine legacy.”

After listening to his explanation, Fu Bao pondered for a moment and then said, "Then how can you be sure that as long as the spiritual energy flowing in the other side is rich enough, the forbidden path can be traversed?"

The Gospel said calmly, "Through my observation, I discovered that the more immortal beings die on the other side, the more intense the fluctuations within the Forbidden Path become. This indicates that there is some inevitable connection between the two."

I hope you're right.

Fu Bao sighed and suddenly said, "Oh, Fu Ze is here. What are we going to do with Ye Xun later?"

Fuyin thought for a moment: "Let's keep him for now. We still need to deal with the Deep Blue Alliance. If he can achieve the Grand rank, he will be an indispensable force. Although I feel that Ye Xun is always hiding something."

Fu Bao raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

Fuyin's eyes flickered: "Ye Xun and Xiang Chaonan are good friends, yet we know nothing about his purpose in infiltrating us. That's not right. I have a feeling that Ye Xun is hiding something from us. The kind of person he is, always likes to keep something in reserve for himself, and it's impossible for him to completely side with one side."

"I see. Then, to be on the safe side, let's kill him after we've squeezed all his value out of him."

Fu Bao smiled slightly: "In short, let's get our hands on the microreactor first. With your abilities, you should be able to figure out its principles and apply them in reverse."

The old man spread his hands, sensing the battle raging in the valley, as if preparing to face a devastating explosion.

A hint of mockery appeared in Fuyin's eyes.

"Chairman Ruan was too careless."

He said calmly, "Jiang Hai is an unparalleled genius in technology, but such a person is only suitable for scientific research in the rear. When it comes to political maneuvering, he is far from capable."

They seemed to already see the scene of the entire battle formation on the other side being wiped out soon.

What a beautiful scene that was!

The screams and cries of agony were drowned out by the explosion.

It was as dazzling as fireworks.

The torrential rain was broken, the lights pierced through the rain curtain, and a helicopter swooped down like a falcon, creating a roar.

They are separated by a kilometer.

The gospel and blessings narrowed their eyes.

It was as if the victory was within reach.

The helicopter's lights flashed.

Fuze gave a coded message and chuckled softly, "Mr. Ye Xun, all your efforts have been worthwhile. Welcome to the Blissful Society; perhaps you too can become one of the Five Blessings."

Ye Xun felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders. Only after entering the other side did he completely relax, and the shadow of death that Chairman Ruan had cast over him gradually faded away.

The reason he pretended for so long was because he was afraid of the old chairman's knife. Even before his defection, he was still acting, afraid that he might make a mistake that would lead to total defeat.

At this moment.

He can finally be himself.

He no longer had to play the role of an honest man at Yan Chengwu's beck and call in front of the five major families, nor did he have to secretly scheme to control the Shadow Department, nor did he have to endure the fear and anxiety of being a double agent.

He is free.

"Hehe, I hope you can take me back to the base first. I need to rest for a bit, is that alright?"

Of course, Ye Xun did not forget his boss's instructions; he had to find his own trump card to save his life as soon as possible.

These idiots from the Bliss Society had no idea what Xiang Chaonan had done after infiltrating the organization as Dr. Nan.

Although Ye Xun didn't know either.

But he knew that his old friend had left something behind, which was hidden somewhere in the base.

However, Ye Xun did not choose to take the item immediately to avoid arousing their suspicion.

Anyway, once he joins the Blissful Society, he'll have plenty of opportunities to take the things; there's no rush.

Ye Xun turned around and looked at the miniature reactor in the cabin. This was his first pledge of allegiance, his trump card for survival. But soon, it would no longer be.

At that very moment, Ye Xun suddenly realized something was wrong, because the miniature reactor beeped.

"Mr. Fukuzawa, did you hear anything just now? The miniature reactor, it seems to be making a sound."

He frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping over him.

"Mr. Ye, aren't you being overly anxious?"

Fukuzawa chuckled, "Does Chairman Ruan's Ghost Blade put this much pressure on you? This is just a backup machine, practically a half-finished product. How could it be..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xun leaped out of the cabin and activated the microchip implanted in his wrist without hesitation, setting up a protective shield in front of him.

Boom!
The helicopter exploded with a loud bang.

It was as if a supernova had exploded in the deep mountains, and the invisible waves swept in all directions like a tide. Ancient trees all over the mountains swayed in the gale, the abandoned industrial base was illuminated, and the torrential rain swept up into the sky.

The explosion was not very violent.

The annihilation energy pulse surged out like a tsunami, causing the faces of Fu Hong and Fu Bao on the cliff to change drastically, and they flew backward like seagulls being swept away by the waves.

The sounds of gunfire in the deep mountains ceased for a moment.

Fully armed, Ruan Yang led his team along the muddy mountain path. He glanced down at his watch and suddenly conjured an energy shield in front of him.

A cross-shaped radiance was reflected in his eyes.

The combat units erected energy shields in front of them, coldly watching the screams of the test subjects. Their pale bodies turned to ash and vanished like burning paper, as if they had been thrown into strong acid, collapsing and disintegrating.

"call."

Ruan Yang removed his tactical helmet, a hint of emotion appearing on his expressionless face. He spoke into the miniature microphone in his collar and ordered, "All units prepare to attack the enemy base."

The silence of gunfire erupted once more.

Listening to the sounds of gunfire, Ruan Yang leaned against the hood of the off-road vehicle and unfolded a hand-drawn map.

"Director Jiang's plans were indeed flawless."

He said softly, "That's about enough."

In the dark experimental base, the Shi family's troops were thrown into chaos and turmoil. The large army of experimental subjects they relied on had been subjected to an annihilation-like massacre, and their combat strength had been greatly reduced.

Shi Lian looked out from the watchtower and immediately spotted the battle formation approaching from the muddy mountain path.

Especially the young man who had just taken off his tactical helmet, it was as if he had come to their funeral.

"Notify the head of the household."

Shi Lian's face was grim. He turned to his subordinates and said, "We must make the Bliss Society release those advanced experimental subjects. If they don't come out soon, we won't be able to hold out!"

The so-called advanced experimental subjects are monsters like Ruan Jingnan who have come back from the dead; they are extremely rare and precious samples.

"clear."

The subordinate turned and ran quickly toward the depths of the base.

That is at this moment.

A faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard.

Amidst the torrential rain, dark figures appeared out of nowhere, emerging after the energy pulse dissipated, exuding an aura of wild beasts.

Especially the dark figure at the very top, with its crimson-gold eyes, looked down like a god.

"Oh no, the experimental subject Omega!"

Shi Lian revealed a hint of fear, and the Shi family's elite guards surrounded him, ready for battle.

Ruan Qi led his army of Dead Apostles, hovering in the torrential rain, looking down at the ants below, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Ah."

·
·
Fukuzawa's body rolled out from the burning wreckage of the plane. Having been subjected to the annihilation energy pulse at close range, he had become a shriveled, charred corpse, devoid of any life.

This is probably the most unjustly killed of the Five Blessings.

"Damn it, damn it! That damn Jiang Hai!"

Ye Xun scrambled to his feet, his blood churning and his body aching: "That treacherous scoundrel actually switched the miniature reactor! Did he know my plan all along? How is that possible?"

He was both shocked and furious, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Because the distance was too close, even though he managed to set up an energy shield in time, he was still affected to some extent.

"Yes, we need to get the key from him!"

Ye Xun scrambled toward the charred corpse and found a string of charred metal keys on its body.

Only the Five Blessings were authorized to enter and exit certain restricted areas of the experimental base, and they often carried keys with them.

Ye Xun was overjoyed to receive the key.

He kissed the key.

It was as if I saw a glimmer of hope for life.

At that very moment, he suddenly sensed danger and dodged to the side like a ghost.

boom!
Ye Xun let out a scream and fell to the ground in a sorry state. His right ankle was engulfed by a sudden burst of terrifying energy, bending at a ninety-degree angle in an instant, and the bone broke with a crack.

But before he could continue wailing, he quickly rolled over and avoided the sharp steel bars falling from the sky.

Even so, a steel bar still pierced his shoulder, and blood spurted out like an arrow.

A sharp pain shot through my mind.

"Hey, you old dog, you're pretty good at hiding."

Aihara maintained his slightly flicked finger posture. He immediately used the fusion of repulsive and traction forces to release an extremely powerful mental wave, but it was dodged.

Fortunately, they still managed to break one of the other person's legs.

Jiang Youqing also emerged from the dark jungle, with countless pieces of broken metal floating behind her, seemingly possessing real life, trembling angrily.

The energy shield vanished before them.

The plan was implemented smoothly.

When the detonator is pressed.

An extinction-level energy pulse burst.

Fukuzawa died on the spot.

Ye Xun, that old dog, finally fell for it.

"Jiang Youqing...is that you?"

Ye Xun was furious. He never expected that his boss's prediction would come true. The ominous sign was right here!

Ginger and pomelo extract.

And of course, there's the man behind her!

"Director Zhou, it's been a long time."

Jiang Youqing's eyes were icy cold: "No, I should call you by your real name... Ye Xun, right?"

Metal fragments rained down like a storm!

Ye Xun's expression changed drastically. Even with a broken leg, he still dodged through the countless metal fragments at an extremely fast speed, without uttering a single unnecessary word, and turned to run.

"Run, run faster."

Aihara knew that this old dog was equipped with speed-focused features, and it was impossible to catch up with him. The only option was to gradually exhaust his stamina before killing him.

"My beloved concubine is gone."

He put his arm around the girl's slender waist again.

Jiang Youqing was filled with murderous intent and ignored his audacious action, only staring intently at the fleeing old man.

"We'll take the old man for a walk tonight."

Hunters need patience when pursuing their prey.
