The laboratory fell silent in an instant.
This was mainly due to the terrifying strength Chen Jinzhong displayed, taking less than a minute to kill an S-class expert.
After all, S-class individuals were already at the apex of the pyramid, practically invincible.
Tsuda Ryunosuke's death sent a tremendous shockwave through those present.
Isaac's pupils shrank to pinpricks. It took him a long time to recover, and he mumbled with vacant eyes, "So this is China's Candle Dragon? Terrifying. I admit I spoke too loudly earlier. This is truly a chilling opponent."
"I finally understand why the family wanted Chen Jinzhong dead. I recall he wasn't this powerful a year ago. In just one year, he's grown to this extent," Robinson Ross spoke with a very solemn tone.
Chen Jinzhong's might was suffocating them.
Xu Jinsong sighed, "He is truly too strong, worthy of being China's vital asset. Even I would have little chance against him."
Less than a ten percent chance of winning.
Number Three narrowed his eyes and said, "From him, I see the shadow of Number One. They are of the same ilk, both invincible."
"Indeed."
"That sword in his hand is rather peculiar. Do you know its origin?"
Xu Jinsong carefully examined Tai Sui in Chen Jinzhong's hand. After looking away, he replied, "I don't. I only know it was personally gifted to him by Xu Hanchen. Back then, I thought it was just an ordinary military-grade tri-edged bayonet, but now it seems to have a different background."
"It's somewhat similar to the legendary Murasame-maru from Dongying. Coincidentally, Dongying's Murasame-maru has been lost for many years. Perhaps there's a slight connection."
Number Three became even more interested upon hearing this.
If he could kill Chen Jinzhong, he would definitely seize Tai Sui.
Chen Jinzhong stood in the arena, his body already stained crimson with blood.
A few drops of blood also adorned his stern face, splattered from Tsuda Ryunosuke's corpse.
Anyone Chen Jinzhong targeted would tremble.
Although Chen Jinzhong had killed Tsuda Ryunosuke in under a minute, it wasn't easy for him. After the explosive burst of power in such a short time, Chen Jinzhong felt a deep fatigue, the after-effect of such an exertion.
After all, Tsuda Ryunosuke was an S-class expert, not a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
Chen Jinzhong naturally could not reveal his exhaustion to the others. He forced himself to regain his composure and swept his gaze over their faces once more.
As the A-class individuals met Chen Jinzhong's gaze, they all took half a step back, barely managing to steady themselves.
Why?
It was because Chen Jinzhong's aura was too powerful, making it difficult for them to resist.
Only the four S-class individuals could stand their ground against Chen Jinzhong's gaze, but they were also not comfortable, their nerves taut, ready to launch an assault at any moment.
"Next," Chen Jinzhong said coldly.
At this moment, he had transformed into the King of Hell from the underworld, as if reciting the names on the ledger of life and death, ready to send these people to the Yellow Springs.
The laboratory remained silent.
Number Three stood still, clearly showing no intention of making a move yet.
Robinson Ross took a step forward and said to Chen Jinzhong, "Tsuda Ryunosuke was killed because he underestimated you. I will not make the same mistake."
"Chen Jinzhong, please enlighten me!"
Chen Jinzhong said calmly, "Are you sure you're appearing alone? I'll tell you in advance, if that's truly your plan, you will die."
Robinson Ross's pupils shrank again.
Was this him looking down on him?
His anger quickly dissipated as Robinson Ross realized Chen Jinzhong was merely speaking his mind and not looking down on anyone. In other words, in Chen Jinzhong's eyes, his strength was indeed very weak.
He was simply stating a fact.
As a dignified S-class expert, how could Robinson Ross swallow this indignity?
"Chen Jinzhong, don't underestimate me. I am also an S-class expert. You are of the same rank, how can you know I am inferior to you?" Robinson Ross said in a deep voice. Chen Jinzhong was also interested in talking with him for a while, using this interlude to recover his strength.
Chen Jinzhong chuckled indifferently, "You can try."
Robinson Ross suddenly felt a strong sense of threat. If nothing unexpected happened, this dangerous aura was coming from Chen Jinzhong.
He took a deep breath, "S-class experts never fear anything!"
"Come on!"
Chen Jinzhong chuckled inwardly.
Although Robinson Ross's strength was somewhat superior to Tsuda Ryunosuke's, the final outcome would still be the same; he would still die.
"I will grant your wish," Chen Jinzhong nodded.
Robinson Ross mustered all his focus, fearing a sneak attack from Chen Jinzhong. Tsuda Ryunosuke's death had served as a great warning.
The two stood facing each other, the battle about to erupt.
Chen Jinzhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If these people were to come one by one, he was confident he could kill them all!
The next moment.
Isaac suddenly spoke, "Wait!"
All eyes instantly fell upon this top assassin from the Black Blood Group.
Xu Jinsong frowned, wanting to speak but stopping himself.
Number Three chuckled, "Interesting. It seems they are getting serious. We will continue to observe from the sidelines and not intervene easily."
Xu Jinsong then remained silent.
Isaac met Chen Jinzhong's gaze, walked to Robinson Ross's side, and said with a smile, "I have long heard of the Candle Dragon's fame. It is said the Candle Dragon is incredibly powerful. I wonder if he has the ability to fight two at once? As I said before, the objective this time is to take your head, no matter the method."
This meant Isaac did not care even if they ganged up on him.
What he cared about was Chen Jinzhong's death.
Robinson Ross frowned, also appearing as if he wanted to speak but hesitated. Isaac saw this and smiled, "Are you afraid of losing face if it gets out? I advise you to show the Candle Dragon some respect, otherwise, what's the difference between this and suicide? Don't forget, our objective has never been driven by impulsive pride."
"Alright then, I have no problem with it," Robinson Ross said.
The two looked at Chen Jinzhong together.
Chen Jinzhong certainly understood that refusing would be useless, as this was a predetermined kill-Chen Jinzhong trap. It was better to fight a decisive battle!
"Do you two want to join forces?" Chen Jinzhong turned to look at Number Three and Xu Jinsong.
"How dare you! Aren't you afraid of death?" Isaac felt offended. He and Robinson Ross were both S-class experts. Together, they could already defeat top-tier experts within the S-class realm. Chen Jinzhong was actually inviting Number Three and Xu Jinsong to join.
He was clearly looking down on the two of them.
Number Three raised an eyebrow, his smile widening, "A bit interesting, but I have no intention of making a move for now. I think the two of them are enough."
"Please proceed,"
