Chapter 86: The Battle Begins

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

A jade box containing six grams of Flame Breath Energy Essence was delivered from headquarters and handed to Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng looked at the jade box in his hand, which emitted a crystal-clear crimson light, and nodded in satisfaction.

"With these six grams of Flame Breath Energy Essence, I should be able to break through to the fourth level of physical body cultivation soon—"

"Ding-dong!"

The phone screen lit up at that moment; it was a message from Pei Yu.

[Pei Yu: Brother Jiang, I've prepared two more bottles of Type 2 Super Regeneration Serum.]

Jiang Heng picked up his phone, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

[Jiang Heng: Okay, I'll come pick it up this afternoon.]

His skeletal potential has now increased to 70%, and he is not far from 90%.

With the Type 2 Super Regeneration Serum prepared by Pei Yu, he should also be able to increase his bone potential to 90% within half a month.

The level of Qi sensation within the body will also be raised to a new level.

Pulling himself back to reality, Jiang Heng opened the jade box in his hand and took out a grain of rice-sized essence of Flame Breath Energy, weighing one gram.

He put it in his mouth and began practicing the candlelight breathing method.

As dusk fell.

In Baoshan District, the villa area built on the hillside was shrouded in darkness.

Jiang Heng appeared silently. According to the location provided by Peng Kui'an, Pang Long was in the southwest corner of this villa area.

The location isn't entirely clear; he'll have to find out exactly which villa it is in himself.

Jiang Heng took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the thick darkness of the night.

Southwest of the villa area.

In the lobby on the first floor, Pang Long's already mountain-like figure grew even larger.

Layer upon layer of muscle knots appeared on his body, and the once incredibly sturdy alloy chair was now completely crushed under his weight.

At Pang Long's feet, a syringe that had already been used for an injection rolled to the ground.

The syringe also had a logo of a large golden cauldron printed on it, which was the symbol of the Jin Ding Group.

Hujinding Group is a top biomedical company in Nanjiang City. In just ten years, it has risen rapidly to become the top biotechnology company in Nanjiang City.

And they were also partners of Hongmen.

Over the years, a large portion of the people trafficked by Hongmen from the southwestern districts of Nanjiang City have been sent to the laboratories of Jinding Group.

They became their experimental subjects, used to study martial arts and the evolution of life.

Three days ago, Pang Long contacted the Jin Ding Group and agreed to become their experimental subject in exchange for the chance to survive in Nanjiang City.

In addition, he must have the freedom to go out and cannot be confined to the laboratory.

Even for the Jin Ding Group, experimental subjects at the peak of level three were rare, so they agreed to Pang Long's request.

The bottle of medicine on the ground is the [CT-Tyrant Tardigrade Concentrate], the latest research product of Jinding Group.

Its function is to rapidly enhance a martial artist's combat power, but only martial artists at or above the late stage of level three can withstand this pressure.

As for side effects... there will definitely be some, but they are currently unknown.

Because Pang Long was one of the test subjects for testing the side effects of this drug.

Next, he will need to have his blood drawn and a blood sample taken from him by the Jin Ding Group every three days.

"Heh—"

Pang Long's face was contorted, the excruciating pain of his cells being torn apart was madly tormenting his nerves, and the increasingly potent effects of the drug were roaming through his body.

The skin, which was originally as hard as rock, would crack open from time to time, growing stronger, bright red muscles.

His muscles hung from his body like tumors.

A violent will filled his mind, making him want to rush out of the villa and slaughter indiscriminately in Baoshan District.

This dramatic change did not gradually subside until half an hour later.

At this moment, Pang Long's body was already over 2.5 meters tall and 1.5 meters wide, with muscles all over his body resembling the twisted roots of a tree, weaving together to form his body.

A dark aura continuously surged from his body, swirling around him and occasionally transforming into a nearly three-meter-tall phantom demon, opening its blood-red maw and roaring silently.

Pang Long slightly clasped his hands together, clenching his large, fan-shaped palms. The cracking sound of his knuckles, like popping beans, broke the deathly silence in the hall.

A smile spread across his face, his mouth stretching all the way to his ears.

"An unprecedented, powerful force—"

This is a powerful force that has surpassed the peak of level three and is approaching level four of physical strength!

"Hehehehe—"

Pang Long grinned and chuckled softly, the ferocity in his eyes turning blood red and lingering there, his voice becoming strange and shrill:

"If I go back to Yuquan District now and cause trouble for the Wu'an Bureau, no one should be able to stop me, not even Jiang Heng—"

He paused slightly when he mentioned the name, and his breathing suddenly became a little rapid.

"Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng—"

It's all because of Jiang Heng.

He killed Liu Yuheng first, then Zhao Shan, Ding Yan, and Mo Sanniang, which led him to this predicament.

Hongmen's business empire in Yuquan District was destroyed in an instant, and even he himself became a test subject for the Jinding Group.

"It's all because of that damn guy."

The violent aura swirling in his mind intensified.

The blood vessels in his eyes looked as if they could drip a few drops of blood, and the killing intent emanating from his body was almost tangible.

The [CT-Tyrant Tardigrade Concentrate] brought him not only immense power, but also a persistent sense of violence.

Sudden.

Tap, tap, tap—a faint sound of footsteps reached my ears from the second-floor stairwell.

But to Pang Long, whose five senses were also enhanced at this moment, it seemed extremely clear.

He slowly turned around and looked at the stairwell behind him.

At that moment, a tall figure in a Wu'an Bureau uniform was walking down the stairs and standing in the lobby on the first floor.

The villa had no windows on the first floor, so Jiang Heng climbed into the house through a second-floor window.

Hearing the commotion downstairs, I went down the stairs to the first floor and sure enough, I saw Pang Long in the center of the lobby.

He glanced at Pang Long's massive body, now covered in muscle tumors, and at a medicine bottle on the ground.

Jiang Heng raised an eyebrow slightly, and the light gathered on the empty medicine bottle.

Looks like it's working well. What kind of amazing stuff did this guy get injected with?

"Jiang Heng"

Pang Long's scarlet gaze was like that of a demon in the dark hall, and the dark aura behind him seemed to have truly transformed into a phantom shadow, enveloping his body.

"How did you end up here? Is it possible that this drug has hallucinogenic effects?"

After saying this, Pang Long grinned and revealed an exaggerated smile.

"Fine, whether you're real or fake doesn't matter. Today I'm going to cut you into a thousand pieces and tear you to pieces—hehehehe—"

Bang! One second Pang Long was standing there laughing maniacally, the next second his figure had vanished, leaving only a spiderweb-like trail of footprints left in the spot.

The mountain-like figure roared into the air, accompanied by a three-meter-high dark aura, and crashed towards Jiang Heng like a meteorite!

"Die!"

"boom!"

Pang Long coughed up blood and flew backward, his mountain-like body crashing through the villa's outer wall and shattering the asphalt ground outside.

It rolled dozens of meters away on the shattered ground.

The ferocious demons formed from the energy on his body were devoured by the spreading crimson flames, which even began to spread to Panglong's rock-like skin.

next moment.

A two-meter-tall figure emerged from the huge four-meter-diameter hole in the villa's exterior wall.

His upper body clothes were burned to ashes by the raging fire, revealing muscles as smooth as jade sculptures.

Behind him, flames formed from the aura shot into the sky, as if they were about to burn the heavens.

Jiang Heng stepped out of the villa's entrance.

The Candlelight Breathing Technique is the most powerful combat-oriented breathing technique refined during the Southern Wars a century ago.

The third-stage Blood Burning Realm, at its peak, is also the most explosive and combat-intensive breathing technique among the three levels of breathing techniques.

at the same time.

The immense aura condensed from 100% of the superficial muscle potential, 90% of the deep muscle potential, and 75% of the skeletal potential has already surpassed the peak of level three.

Furthermore, his improved version of "The Three Styles of the Crippled Ape" is even more powerful than the martial arts moves performed by the senior Yuan Jingang back then.

With all these factors combined, the combat power Jiang Heng unleashed at full strength was terrifying.

How could Pang Long possibly contend with such a mere dose of an unknown and uncertified medicine?

"puff·...·

Pang Long spat out a mouthful of blood, got up, and stared blankly at the figure in front of him that looked like it was burning with flames.

"Could it really be a hallucination?"

Faced with such a huge contrast, he even began to suspect that everything he was experiencing was a hallucinogenic side effect of [CT-Tyrant Tardigrade Concentrate].

After all, how could Jiang Heng from the Wu'an Bureau of Yuquan District possibly be here?

Only the collapsed and shattered flesh and bones in his chest, the dissipation and collapse of his vital energy, and the intense pain surging like a tidal wave clearly told him the reality of the scene at that moment.

"I—don't believe it!"

The drug that had not yet been fully converted in Pang Long's body was absorbed back into his body, causing his skin to crack open again and grow even more ferocious and terrifying muscle tumors.

The dark energy within his body surged forth, transforming into an even larger and more ferocious demon that clung to the surface of his body.

The skin surface instantly turned pitch black, like a black rock growing in hell.

His body, which was already as large as a mountain, was completely transformed into a pitch-black stone Buddha at this moment!

He opened his mouth, revealing a large, dark maw, and his deep voice slowly echoed through the street.

"Come—Fight!"
