The Law of Heaven

Chapter 36 New Experimental Subjects

The ancient dragon deep within Aihara's consciousness suddenly awakened, accompanied by an angry dragon roar, unleashing the maximum power of his mental field, as if unleashing a powerful energy wave like a tidal wave.

This time, the enemy is clearly a Reincarnation-class enemy, which is not something that a typical Creation-class enemy can easily defeat.

But who exactly was Xiang Yuan?

It has numerical values, spiritual qualities, skills, and experience—it's all there!
Enraged by the Alaya consciousness, Dr. Shi was struck as if by a monstrous wave, flying backward with a deafening roar. His dislocated right hand went out of control, and light and heat burst forth from his palm.

The uncontrolled energy wave struck the massive pool of mercury, causing an immediate explosion.

The explosion of such a complex and sophisticated device sent a huge shockwave through the area. Even Aihara, who had initially won the battle against the shockwave, was caught off guard and was thrown off balance by Jiang Youqing, who was standing in front of it.

so hard.

The thought flashed through Jiang Youqing's mind: this guy who suddenly appeared had an unusually hard body.

So soft.

Aihara had another thought flash through his mind: the other person was clearly made of steel, yet the touch was still soft.

Bang.

The two of them fell onto Xiao Li's back together; that natural, thick cushion was quite sturdy!
The explosion's epicenter resounded with deafening roars, and countless electronic components rained down from the sky. Most deadly of all was the leaking mercury vapor, which quickly filled the laboratory.

Dr. Shi fell awkwardly into the corner. He had been hit by the explosion twice, his white coat was riddled with holes, and his chest was burned and burning painfully.

His consciousness was hazy, the roar of the explosion and the lingering dragon's roar echoing in his mind.

Yes, he had just heard the roar of a dragon.

"Dragon's Might?"

Dr. Shi swayed as he got up, still unwilling to believe it from the bottom of his heart, but he had clearly felt the dragon's might just now.

I wonder who that guy was. At first glance, his abilities seemed to be telekinesis.

However, if it were just telekinesis, it would be impossible to generate such a powerful force; it must contain the might of a dragon.

That is something beyond human comprehension, one of the ancient powers of the heavens, originating from the noble bloodline of the ancient dragons, symbolizing supreme and violent destructive power.

Although he objectively felt that it wasn't the dragon's might, he did indeed hear the dragon's roar, which was fleeting.

"Dr. Shi, what are you doing?"

A cold, demanding voice came through the earpiece: "Ten minutes are almost up, why haven't you evacuated yet?"

In the mercury vapor, Dr. Shi vaguely saw the sleeping experimental subject rise up like a wild beast awakening, and he revealed a strange smile: "It's rare for an intruder to appear here. Before leaving, I wanted to test our latest work, but I didn't expect... to be assassinated."

The other person in the earpiece said coldly, "The boss means you need to leave as soon as possible. No one will care if you die here."

Dr. Shi grinned helplessly: "Coming right away."

After saying that, he struggled to his feet, pressed a hidden compartment in the metal wall, opened the concealed tunnel, and crawled inside.

The tunnel door slowly closed, and Dr. Shi couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. His eyes turned gloomy, and he felt an extremely strong killing intent towards the unknown attacker he had never met before, but in the blink of an eye, he felt fear.

In fact, the moment the opponent made their move.

Dr. Shi saw the other person's face.

A very strange face.

boom.

The metal door is closed.

The mercury tank's circuitry exploded for the last time.

The roar gradually subsided.

Aihara poked his head out again like a groundhog, as if granted a pardon: "Holy crap, he's still alive."

This clone is truly blessed with good fortune and a long life.

He got up and fell to the ground, somewhat dazed.

"You are……"

Jiang Youqing shook her head and got up. Her baseball cap was blown off, and her soft, long hair fell down. For the first time, a clear change in expression appeared on her usually icy face.

Seeing this, Aihara tried his best to put on a gentle smile: "Ahaha, I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by. Don't worry, I didn't..."

He deliberately spoke in a muffled voice.

To avoid being recognized.

But his voice was interrupted by screams.

Xiao Li, who was the last to get up, screamed in terror.

Even Jiang Youqing's eyes flashed with a hint of fear, and she decisively drew the revolver from her waist.

Aihara was startled. His instinctive survival reaction made him pull out the Colt python from his waist, and like a Western cowboy skilled in American iaido, he pressed it against Xiao Li's head.

The reason for targeting Xiao Li was that there were two people on the other side, and they had to capture one of them who was not capable of fighting as a hostage, otherwise they would be in a passive situation of two against one.

"Put the gun down!"

Jiang Youqing said coldly.

"You let go first!"

Aihara was also furious at this ungrateful senior, pointing at Xiaoli's head: "Otherwise I'll smash her head in. You can count down three, two, one!"

Xiao Li raised her hands above her head, revealing a look of resignation: "Sister Youqing, shoot! I can take it, I won't die, don't worry!"

Jiang Youqing glanced at her: "You can't handle it."

Aihara also said fiercely, "Yes, if you can't handle it, you might as well tell her to put down the gun! I'm the one who saved you, and now you're repaying kindness with enmity! Didn't your mother teach you that you should repay a favor tenfold? Do you even have a mother?"

Xiao Li said weakly, "My mother passed away when I was very young, and I was raised by my mother-in-law."

Jiang Youqing also said coldly, "I don't have a mother either."

Aihara was discouraged.

Holy crap, three people can't even make a mother.

Jiang Youqing frowned, suppressing the fear in her eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Whom do you work for?"

Aihara didn't know how to respond to that, and said irritably, "I'll risk my life for my country!"

Jiang Youqing fell silent. After a moment of hesitation, her eyes flickered, and she lowered her gun first: "Don't think I don't know. You were hiding in the tunnel, not planning to make a move. You were only forced to show yourself when the other side tried to kill Xiao Li. But anyway, thank you."

There was another reason why she put down her gun.

She has a body of steel.

She will not die.

Therefore, Xiao Li's life must be saved first.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Aihara also put down his revolver: "I'm a good guy."

Xiao Li was so frightened that she quickly curled up and backed away, looking like a terrified brown bear: "Brother, do you want to look at your own face before you say that?"

Aihara suddenly fell silent for a second.

He discovered that his baseball cap and sunglasses had also disappeared, and his mask had been torn, leaving him without any cover.

The clone created by the Ghost-Faced Clown is a strange, all-black figure that cannot take on the appearance of a normal person.

It's roughly similar to the murderer's portrait in "Detective Conan," a childhood trauma for many.

"Holy crap, no wonder."

Aihara subconsciously touched his face.

No wonder Jiang Youqing stared at him with a suspicious look on her face.

Anyone would be terrified in that situation.

"Is this some kind of strange, living effect?"

Jiang Youqing said expressionlessly.

"Heh." Aihara couldn't help but sigh, this woman is really smart.

This is the main reason why Aihara doesn't want to appear in front of her unless absolutely necessary.

Back when she was at Yijuku High School, this famous senior, Jiang, was the top student in the entire school. Her grades were so outstanding that she almost got full marks in all subjects. She won various national Olympiad awards and participated in many international competitions.

In fact, by her junior year of high school, she was already eligible to attend any university in the world she wanted. Many prestigious international universities had extended offers to her, as if God had opened up a series of pathways to heaven for her, each leading to a life that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

However, Jiang Youqing rejected the invitations from those prestigious international universities, ignored the advice of school leaders and her homeroom teacher, and stayed at school to study and take exams in an orderly manner. Every day after school, she stayed on the playground to play tennis. Perhaps because she didn't have many friends, she always practiced alone.

The brothers who deliberately passed by the playground every day watched her black hair dance in the twilight.

Aihara initially noticed her not because she was pretty, but because she, like himself, wasn't very popular.

She is beautiful, academically excellent, and taciturn.

Many girls think she's too pretentious.

Even after Jiang Youqing graduated, Aihara could still hear rumors about her at school, and the rumors were very unpleasant.

Just ignore these rumors.

In fact, no one knows anything about Jiang Youqing.

She won't give anyone a chance to understand her.

It wasn't until today that Aihara got to know this cold and aloof senior for the first time. The murderous intent she displayed when sniping the enemy from the crossbar just now seemed to indicate a past unknown to others.

But the current situation is not bad.

Jiang Youqing's status among the five major families is clearly not low; perhaps following her might be profitable.

Although Xiao Li may not seem to have any combat ability, her ability is extremely rare and has a wide range of applications.

As the mercury vapor filled the air, Xiao Li spoke first: "Where is that dangerous doctor?"

"They ran away a long time ago, they ran through the tunnels."

Aihara said irritably, "That bastard is pretty cunning. He'll definitely get what's coming to him next time we meet."

Jiang Youqing glanced over, but her magnetic field could only sense the disappearance of the enemy; she didn't know the specifics.

How did this guy know?
"However, that damned guy released something else before he left."

Aihara raised his hand and pointed, sensing the dark figure slowly rising from the mercury vapor, and calmly said, "I don't know what that is, but I have a bad feeling about it."

In fact, he had already sensed the existence of this experimental subject.

But the test subject looked a bit dull; after being freed, it stood naked in the steam, motionless.

He stared at the three of them like a madman in a mental hospital, observing them closely without saying a word.

Jiang Youqing stood up and raised her right hand. The heavy machine gun in the magnetic field was once again suspended in mid-air and locked onto the experimental subject.

"These are the Dead Apostles of the Ancient Dragon Source System, whoever they are, have completed several stages of evolution. These guys consumed the serum, which allows them to maintain their sanity, and thus..."

She paused: "Use the abilities of immortal beings."

Aihara was taken aback; so far, none of the Dead Apostles he had faced seemed to have actually used their abilities.

It turns out that the Dead Apostles are unable to use their abilities.

"Xiao Li, hide behind me."

After Jiang Youqing gave instructions to Xiao Li, she was suddenly stunned to see the experimental subject break through the mercury vapor and walk out.

"My day."

Aihara felt a chill run down his spine.

The test subject was covered in snake scales, looking as if he had transformed from a snake into a human. He even had a thick, ferocious python tail growing from his back.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Those eerie, blood-red vertical pupils seemed devoid of emotion, yet their gaze fell upon Aihara.

A bewildered look in his eyes.

It harbors a very deep infatuation.

Aihara's heart skipped a beat; this unlucky thing had most likely sensed the aura of the Alaya consciousness.

"Back off."

Jiang Youqing's eyes gleamed with sharpness.

boom!
The heavy machine gun fired wildly, unleashing a torrent of bullets that engulfed the experimental subjects.

Aihara could also do that, but he felt he would be at a disadvantage if he simply fought for the right to use these firearms.

Because Jiang Youqing's ability is magnetic field, she is definitely more skilled at manipulating metal than he is.

The principle of phases can manipulate all objects.

Gunfire roared, and a barrage of bullets rained down.

But a terrifying scene unfolded: the test subject's tail whipped wildly like a whip, unleashing a series of fine wind blades that coalesced into a storm.

The storm deflected the barrage of bullets, sending out fine wind blades that shattered the mercury vapor and cleaved the metal walls.

With a cracking sound, the metal floor was also cut into pieces by the wind blades, leaving a scene of devastation.

What terrifying destructive power!

If the test subject launches an attack regardless of everything, even if Aihara and Jiang Youqing join forces, they may not be able to withstand it.

The reason this experimental subject did not launch an attack seems to be because it sensed some kind of higher-level aura.

It originates from the breath of God.

But when faced with the attack, the test subject was not entirely passive. His breathing became heavy, like the sound of a broken bellows, as if he was accumulating some kind of power.

At that very moment, someone stood up.

That was Izawa, who had been given an anesthetic injection. He somehow managed to get up, his broken arm still bleeding, and he looked extremely disheveled.

"Youqing, this guy is very strong. I can only create one opportunity for you..."

The captain of the combat sequence took a deep breath, his only remaining left hand swelled up with heat, like a red-hot iron, as if hot lava was flowing through his veins.

The test subject seemed to sense something, and turned around in surprise to look at the man, its snake-like eyes narrowing slightly.

boom!
Izawa shot out like a cannonball, his red-hot fist slamming into the test subject's chest, causing the molten lava to boil and bubble.

The power of that punch was like a volcanic eruption.

Terrifying power converged into a single point and exploded!
The subject's chest was blasted apart, carbonized and shattered into pieces.

Izawa's left hand was also burned black.

Aihara was taken aback and muttered, "Why does this guy suddenly want to be a hero?"

Jiang Youqing's eyes were deep as she said softly, "Because he knew he wouldn't be able to leave here alive, he wanted to do something before he died so that we could get out alive and do something for him."

Lava dripped onto the ground.

Izawa's left arm was split open with countless bloody gashes.

Magma mixed with blood gushed out from the wound.

With that, his inch punch blasted out!

The test subject took the punch at close range, and the gushing magma blood blasted through his chest, burning a charred, bloody hole.

"Now!"

As Izawa roared, the test subject's thick snake tail lashed out angrily, plunging into his chest like a sharp spear. Instantly, flesh tore open and blood gushed out.

At that moment, Aihara and Jiang Youqing moved together!
