Chapter 974 Annihilation
In the eyes of the Zhou family head, Chen Yang, like the Zhou family, was merely suppressed by a sect!
No matter how hard they tried, the gap between them and the sect was an insurmountable chasm.
But with the gene serum, everything would change!
Fearing that Chen Yang was unaware of the gene serum's power, the Zhou family head continued, "The gene serum's greatest strength is not in enhancing a martial artist's power, but in allowing ordinary people to become comparable to martial artists."
"Moreover, the gene serum can become even more potent. In some time, after ordinary people inject the gene serum, they will even be able to directly contend with peak Grandmasters. At that time, no matter how strong the sect's martial artists are, they will not be able to..."
Chen Yang directly sealed the Zhou family head's spiritual power.
Chen Yang already knew the power of the gene serum without the Zhou family head's explanation.
Chen Yang even knew the dangers of the gene serum.
"This thing you are researching, no, no one has researched it. Although ordinary people can gain immense power after injecting the gene serum, the side effects are beyond your imagination!"
"Also, if I'm not mistaken, the gene serum formula your Zhou family possesses is not originally yours, is it?"
"Back then, in the Chen family's laboratory in Qingzhou City, they researched a multi-target drug for cancer. The most important technology within it was the gene technology it contained."
"So many people, and your Zhou family had such a cruel heart!"
As Chen Yang spoke, the scenes of that year flashed in his mind.
Those images were as if imprinted in his mind, reminding Chen Yang at every moment.
A blood feud!
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, the Zhou family head was stunned.
The gene technology that the Zhou family had relied on for their gene serum research over the years was indeed not developed by the Zhou family themselves.
But back then, the Chen family in Qingzhou City was just a small family; how could anyone notice them?
Chen... Chen Yang!
A jolt went through the Zhou family head's mind, and he trembled slightly, "Impossible... you absolutely cannot be from the Chen family. They are all dead, they should all be dead!"
Back then, to handle the matter cleanly, the Zhou family head had specifically dispatched their strongest martial artists.
The matter had proceeded very smoothly.
When they reported back, they said everyone was dead. Now, how could someone suddenly bring up the Chen family?
The Zhou family head felt not only confusion but also fear.
This was because neither the cancer drug researched by the Chen family back then, nor the gene technology they possessed, was the true reason for his actions.
The gene serum was merely obtained incidentally!
"Yes, I have indeed been living like a dead man all these years!"
"Especially knowing that the one behind it all was your Zhou family, I have been thinking of revenge against your Zhou family day and night."
"But I held back, do you know why?"
"Because I want your Zhou family to be utterly destroyed, to never be able to rise again, and you! You will forever watch all of this!"
Chen Yang now controlled over eighty percent of the Zhou family's assets. Apart from the core pharmaceutical industry, he had already made arrangements for all other industries.
The Zhou family head finally understood why Chen Yang had been relentlessly targeting the Zhou family; it turned out this fellow was a child of the Chen family from Qingzhou City back then.
However, the next second, the Zhou family head said grimly, "Do you think the Chen family incident was entirely because of the Zhou family's actions?"
"Haha, how ridiculous, your idea is truly laughable."
"I don't mind telling you..."
Just as the Zhou family head was about to speak, a terrifying spiritual power suddenly appeared in the sky above Qingzhou City.
The sky of Qingzhou City instantly became overcast, and thunder rumbled.
All the martial artists on the battlefield stopped their fighting at that moment.
At this instant, everyone felt immense pressure, a presence that disregarded everything, including the numerous experts who had been watching from outside the battlefield.
Everyone's breathing momentarily ceased.
And in this instant, the spiritual power of the Zhou family head, who had already been captured by Chen Yang, was erased by someone and vanished in a flash.
The opponent had erased all of this in front of Chen Yang!
The sect martial artists outside the battlefield also reacted.
Some of them revealed their true forms!
Chen Yang's face instantly turned ashen.
The Zhou family head's last sentence clearly pointed to the fact that while the Zhou family was the perpetrator, this matter was likely more complex than he had investigated.
But now, the man was dead!
Chen Yang roared, channeling his qi from his dantian, "The Zhou family head is dead. I, Chen Yang, only target the Zhou family. The Zhou family's enforcers can be spared!"
The Zhou family's enforcers had already harbored dissatisfaction with the Zhou family earlier.
Even though the gene serum was the Zhou family's most important trump card, they had fought desperately to help the Zhou family today.
But it was one thing that the Zhou family didn't give them the gene serum, it was another that they hadn't even informed them about this matter.
Now that Chen Yang had provided them with an exit, they naturally took it.
Upon hearing this, the Zhou family enforcers immediately lowered their weapons.
"Chen Yang, we are merely enforcers of the Zhou family. We acted under the Zhou family's instigation. From today onwards, I sever all ties with the Zhou family."
"As for today's events, we will apologize in due course!"
With one person leaving, the remaining Zhou family enforcers cupped their fists towards Chen Yang and immediately departed Qingzhou City.
As for the remaining Zhou family martial artists, although they had injected the serum, their individual strength was weaker than Chen Yang's side. Now, with the loss of numerical advantage, they were naturally unable to turn the tide.
Chen Yang looked at the Zhou family martial artists on the battlefield, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The eyes of the several great demonic beasts were also filled with madness. If they could devour the corpses of these people after their death, their own strength would also increase significantly!
Although the main body of the ancient tree had been refined, its spiritual power could continue to grow.
The branches of the ancient tree had already risen beneath the Zhou family martial artists, waiting for Chen Yang's command!
But at this moment, Zhou Zeyao stopped Chen Yang.
"These guys have all been injected with the gene serum. Since the Zhou family head is dead, if you want to continue investigating, you need to interrogate these people."
"Listen to my advice. Since you have already annihilated the Zhou family and have people under control, you can have them imprisoned first!"
"Crippling their internal energy would be more terrifying than letting them die."
As Zhou Zeyao spoke, Chen Yang's eyes turned red.
Chen Yang tensed his entire body, veins bulging on his forehead, his arms trembling, and his voice was bitten out word by word from the depths of his throat: "I want the people of the Zhou family to die!"
