"What? The Knight cannot be destroyed?"
When the white-coated doctor from Bear Country pressed the remote control but failed to destroy the Knight, and was then decapitated by a palm strike from the Knight, the other white-coated doctors present turned as pale as paper.
"I should thank you. You have modified my brain and my body. Although I am now half-human, half-ghost, I possess the strength to stand at the peak."
The Death Knight let out a cackling laugh and said to the more than a hundred foreign doctors, "To thank you, I have decided to bestow upon you death. All of you will die."
"Knight, you cannot do this. We saved you, and spent a huge amount of money and resources to transform you into the Death Knight. We have shown you great kindness, and you cannot repay kindness with enmity."
These white-coated doctors were ordinary people. If there was anything that differentiated them from ordinary people, it was perhaps four words: insane and devoid of conscience.
Yes, they were more insane and devoid of conscience than ordinary people, otherwise, they would not have created such a large laboratory and manufactured so many bio-humans and Death Knights.
Their plan was to mass-produce bio-warriors, led by the Death Knight, to form a death legion that would sweep through everything. They never expected the Knight to have its own will and escape their control.
Now that the Knight intended to kill them, the more than one hundred foreign doctors felt an unprecedented fear.
The Knight was a monster they had created, and no one understood the Knight's terror better than they did. If the Knight wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as lifting a finger.
They did not want to die. They still wanted to make greater scientific breakthroughs, change the world, and even change humanity.
"Yes, you have indeed shown me kindness. But I have also shown you kindness, because if I hadn't volunteered, where would there be a peak Heavenly Realm expert in this world for you to experiment on?"
The Death Knight had only half a face, the other half being a skull. Its voice was hoarse, but its remaining eye shot out bloodthirsty red light. It said, "Since we are now even, I will now, in the name of Death, bestow upon you death."
With that, the Death Knight slowly raised its right hand and was about to strike.
"Don't kill them. They are still useful to me. I need them alive. Can you show some mercy?"
Seeing the Death Knight about to kill over a hundred people, Shen Lang's expression changed, and he quickly stopped it.
"No one can say no to what I want to do."
Shen Lang's plea was met with a furious roar from the Death Knight. This roar was like thunder from the heavens, causing blood to gush from the ears of Shen Lang, Ye Shishi, and even Adolf, with a hint of blood also appearing at the corners of their mouths.
Indeed, just one roar had ruptured everyone's eardrums and even caused severe internal injuries. One could imagine how terrifying this roar was.
"Shen Qiye, I was good friends with your parents, but that doesn't mean you can dictate to me. Scram."
The Death Knight looked at Shen Lang, bellowed in dissatisfaction, and then waved its right hand. A powerful force shot out, striking Shen Lang in the abdomen and sending him flying over ten meters, where he then landed heavily on the ground.
"Cough… cough… Death Knight… you are truly the most terrifying enemy I have encountered since descending the mountain."
Shen Lang felt as though his internal organs were churning like a storm, causing him such excruciating pain that his face contorted. It took him two minutes to manage to stand up.
"They are still useful to me, and you cannot randomly kill them, so I must stop you."
Shen Lang had to understand why such a large-scale biochemical laboratory appeared in Nanling. He had already left seven bio-humans as evidence, and these more than one hundred foreign doctors must also serve as witnesses.
"Stop me?"
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, the Death Knight burst into laughter. "Shen Qiye, if Shen Tianjun were standing before me now, perhaps he would make me a little wary. But you are not qualified."
"For the sake of your parents, I will let all of you leave alive. But if you insist on going your own way, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Whoosh—"
As the Death Knight finished speaking, Shen Lang uttered not a single useless word. He quickly raised his right hand, and thirteen Taiyi Divine Needles shot towards the Death Knight.
Shen Lang's flying needle technique had reached the realm of perfection; his flying needles never missed.
Facing the incoming flying needles, the Death Knight dodged rapidly, its speed so high that not even a blur could be seen. However, it was still hit by thirteen Taiyi Divine Needles.
"Taiyi Divine Needles?"
Upon clearly seeing the thirteen golden needles stuck in its body, a look of surprise appeared on the Death Knight's face. It said, "I didn't expect the Taiyi Divine Needles to end up in your hands. It seems you've had many fortuitous encounters during your nineteen years of disappearance."
"However, I am no longer flesh and blood. My meridians and flesh have long since vanished, so your Taiyi Divine Needles are useless against me. I'll return them to you."
With that, the Death Knight exerted its strength, and the thirteen Taiyi Divine Needles on its body instantly flew out, then reversed direction and shot back towards Shen Lang.
"Receive—"
Shen Lang's flying needle technique was formidable, but his needle control technique was equally perfect. Facing the thirteen returning Taiyi Divine Needles, Shen Lang raised his right hand and directly controlled them.
"Shen Qiye, not bad. In your early twenties, with Heavenly Realm cultivation, and having mastered both flying needle and needle control techniques, you have impressed me."
The Death Knight knew the terrifying power carried by the Taiyi Divine Needles it had repelled. However, Shen Lang could still control them, proving that he was indeed no ordinary person.
"Since Senior is a friend of my father and mother, he must also be a friend of my uncle. The secrets of this laboratory must be thoroughly investigated, and these doctors cannot die. I hope, for the sake of my father, mother, and uncle, you will not kill them for now."
"My uncle is the director of the Nanling Military Security Department. If these people die, he will have no explanation for this laboratory. Please, Senior, show leniency."
Although the Death Knight had not truly unleashed its power, Shen Lang could feel its terrifying presence. If the other party were to truly attack, Shen Lang might not be able to withstand it.
At this critical moment, Shen Lang bowed and clasped his fists, saying to the Death Knight.
"Song Shadao?"
Upon hearing this, the Death Knight let out a cackling laugh and said, "I haven't seen him in many years. I didn't expect him to become the director of the Nanling Military Security Department. Very well, since that is the case, I will give him this face."
With that, the Death Knight's killing intent weakened and finally disappeared into nothingness.
"Hehe… are you finished with your matters? If so, isn't it my turn to speak?"
Just as Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he had avoided a direct confrontation with the Death Knight, Adolf, standing behind Shen Lang, chuckled and said.
"What do you want to do?"
Shen Lang turned to look at Adolf, full of curiosity.
"Of course, I want to eliminate him."
Adolf rubbed his hands together, looking at the Death Knight with excitement. "You are not a bio-human, nor a modified human, yet you are so powerful. You are my prey."
