Chapter 178: Chapter 156: Ploughing the Court and Sweeping the Dens, Illuminating the Obscure (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Pass)

The eighteenth floor was within sight.

Tang Tang crossed her guns, firing two bullets to clear the path ahead.

"Boom boom..."

Bricks and stones flew chaotically ahead, dust scattering everywhere.

Her figure then surged forward, agile as a cheetah, ferociously unstoppable.

Zhou Ping’an followed closely behind like a shadow, silent as he moved; suddenly, he reached out, grabbed the rushing elder sister’s arm, and pulled her behind him.

Just then, although he hadn’t seen anything, his senses had picked up a murderous aura pervading the space ahead.

"Swoosh..."

A dark shadow flashed by.

Where Tang Tang had just stood, a thin white mark had sliced through the air.

Immediately followed by a gust of wind, sharp and striking.

Zhou Ping’an, without thinking, raised his hand and fired two shots.

The bullets struck three meters ahead and slightly above.

A spray of blood fell, and he immediately felt a slight vibration above his head.

He grunted.

With a slight exertion of his feet, he twisted his body, and a low whistling echoed by his ears, a sharp breeze flickering past.

At the same time, he drew his sword, striking back.

The moment Cang Yue’s precious blade was unsheathed, the air shimmered with a hint of chill.

The Wave Subduing Blade Force transformed into gentle, rippling spring waters.

Countless extremely fine, soft sword threads encircled his side, forming a vortex of sword energy that sealed the space overhead.

"Clang..."

In the midst of a low hum,

Zhou Ping’an felt a slight resistance from the long sword in his hand, and a coldness flashed between his eyebrows.

Under the pull of his qi,

The sword’s edge flashed brightly, and he followed the sword’s motion.

Shist...

The sword light was like a whip.

As he slashed through the air, creating a fine crack, the outer wall was silently cleaved through.

Amidst screams,

The blood-splattered body had already appeared before him.

It was a humanoid creature with numerous tiny scales on its body, a triangular head, and somewhat greyish eyes.

From the left shoulder to the right hip, it had been split in two.

The heart was also severed in half, the upper body still twitching slightly, evidently not dead yet.

"This is, lizard genes, and it can turn invisible!"

It was only then that Tang Tang steadied herself.

She’d been pulled so hard by Zhou Ping’an that her body leapt through the air as if riding on clouds, and while still mid-air, she saw a pitch-black blade slash past, attacked by an invisible assailant.

Then, she saw Zhou Ping’an’s long sword strike.

Two slashes in quick succession, so fast she couldn’t even see how the sword was drawn or sheathed.

What was once an empty space now held two bisected corpses...

The confrontation was lightning-fast.

It swept away the slight pride that had lingered in Tang Tang’s heart.

"What a sword, what a sword technique."

For a moment she was at a loss for words to describe the beauty and fierceness of that slash.

She finally understood.

No wonder her younger brother disciple always carried a long sword wherever he went,

Even at dinners, he took the sword to his car.

It wasn’t out of boredom or for show.

With a sword in hand, he was nearly unstoppable.

The invisible gene-modified human had appeared extremely suddenly and had attacked with unbelievable speed. Under such a sneak attack, anyone she knew would have struggled to react.

They would have been gravely injured, if not killed.

But to Zhou Ping’an, it was merely a matter of drawing his sword and making a few swings.

Invisibility, modifications, it all became a joke.

’Presumably, when he took down Hongxing Guild Hall that day, he only used a fraction of his strength...’

Tang Tang realized this and felt immense joy rising within her.

A sense of secure protection naturally arose.

With such an expert by her side, there was no need for desperate fights; things could be easily settled.

Thinking back on her previous worries, she found them somewhat laughable now.

"The target was correct."

Seeing the lizard-modified human before her bisected yet still glaring fiercely at her, Zhou Ping’an casually swung his sword, splitting its head in two.

He flourished his sword, sheathed it, and led the way ahead.

He pushed open the wooden door of the office ahead.

"You’re too late."

In front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, a middle-aged man in glasses, standing with his hands behind his back, turned around and smiled faintly, speaking softly.

"Young Master Chen left by helicopter. The invisible gene modifier you saw was Number Two from Southern City Laboratory, and Su Wenjing, slain at Triumphal Restaurant, was Number Three. If there’s anything else you don’t understand, say it now, and I’ll answer all at once to your satisfaction."

Zhou Ping’an knew, the middle-aged man before him wasn’t lying.

Indeed, "Young Master Chen" had left while he had still been dealing with those gunmen. He had heard the faint buzzing sounds coming from the rooftop.

It was the sound of wind caused by the helicopter’s blades.

"You can run from the monk, but not from the temple. Taihe Pharmaceuticals might be financially powerful and have many supporters, but that’s no reason for him to escape unscathed."

Zhou Ping’an said matter-of-factly.

He had never considered whether the opponent might have powerful allies or even more formidable gene modifiers.

He was confident.

He hadn’t attacked earlier because he wanted everything to be done by the book, as much as possible within the rules.

But tonight’s revelation showed him,

that sometimes, while he played by the rules, others might not.

"If I’m not mistaken, tonight’s trap was your planning and arrangement. You’ve planned so much; have you considered that your end is near?"

"No, I’ve been observing you for a long time... Although you act ruthlessly and recklessly, you have ambitions.
