SWOOSH...

The tip of the Godslayer Spear, radiating a cold killing intent, stabbed toward Marion's heart like a bolt of lightning.

Marion's sabre had been thrown aside, leaving his hands empty. He had no suitable treasure to defend himself with.

A look of horror spread across his face as two scorching beams of light burst from his eyes, bombarding the spearhead.

BOOM...

The sound was like thunder, like a collapsing mountain. The wind howled fiercely, threatening to shatter the very space itself. Flames erupted, and a blinding light exploded forth as if a sun had suddenly appeared.

Of course, such an attack could not repel the Godslayer Spear. Marion's only goal was to create a blinding light to obscure Zhou Tianyu's vision, giving him a chance to escape. Otherwise, he was doomed; his companions were too far away to save him in time. Almost simultaneously, he began to roll rapidly to the side.

To his utter terror, Zhou Tianyu seemed completely unaffected, as if he could still see everything clearly. Pressing down on the shaft, he slightly adjusted the spear's direction and thrust it into Marion's chest with destructive killing intent.

CRACK...

The Battle Armor shattered, as fragile as paper. After all, it was merely a Low-grade Magical Treasure—and the worst of its kind at that. How could it possibly withstand a strike from the Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, the Godslayer Spear?

The armor shattered. With a sickening squelch, the spearhead plunged deep into Marion's chest, its bloodied tip emerging from his back.

"AHH!" Marion let out a scream of pure agony. The sound was a hundred times more piercing than a slaughtered pig's squeal, enough to chill the bones and strike terror into the heart of anyone who heard it.

"Marion!"

Almost at the same time, the other fourteen masters roared in fury. They unleashed their most powerful attacks—thunder, ice, fire, and magical treasures—hoping to rescue Marion. After all, for the Genetically Enhanced Humans, acquiring an SSS-Class Gene-enhanced Person was no easy feat.

"Hahaha..." Zhou Tianyu let out a thunderous, mad laugh as he retracted his spear with lightning speed. He retreated dozens of meters, and a door suddenly dropped down, shielding him.

Countless attacks slammed into the door, shattering it, but Zhou Tianyu was completely unharmed.

"I'll deal with you all one by one later." With those words, Zhou Tianyu vanished in a flash. He was certain Marion was dead, with no chance of survival.

"Marion! Marion!" Harold shouted, vigorously shaking Marion's motionless body on the ground.

But there was no response. A gaping hole festered in Marion's chest where his heart had been, and he was drained of all blood. A thick aura of death enveloped his body, devoid of even a trace of life.

Marion, an incredibly powerful SSS-Class Gene-enhanced Person, had fallen! Zhou Tianyu's lethal strike had killed him outright.

"AHH!" All the Genetically Enhanced Humans became enraged and frantic, letting out terrifying, demonic screams. A killing intent surged from them like a rising tide.

"Chase him! We must kill him and avenge Marion!" Harold shouted frantically, taking the lead in the pursuit.

However, doors appeared one after another in the passage, blocking their path. To enrage them further, Zhou Tianyu periodically unleashed his Samadhi True Fire to obstruct them, making it impossible to catch up quickly.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Zhang Bin's tense voice echoed in the earpieces of Zhang Hangkui, Master Tianlong, and the others.

Zhang Hangkui's speed increased again. He flew through the winding corridors like a meteor, like a bolt of lightning, leaving the others far behind. Soon, he reached a spacious hall.

"Quick, set up the Formation!" Zhang Bin's voice echoed in Zhang Hangkui's earpiece once more.

Indeed, he knew very well that Zhang Hangkui was not only a terrifying swordsman but also a master of Formations. There were no existing traps capable of dealing with SSS-Class Gene-enhanced Persons. It was nearly impossible for a single Nascent Soul Stage Master and a group of Golden Core Realm masters to kill three super-powerful Genetically Enhanced Humans like Jack, Ava, and Sandra. Therefore, their only option was to set up a Formation.

THUD!

An Array Plate about one meter in diameter flew out from Zhang Hangkui's Space Ring and smashed onto the ground.

CLACK! CLACK! CLACK!

Nine Formation Flags shot out next. Of course, they couldn't be inserted into the ground, which was many times harder than steel. So, with a clang, Zhang Hangkui drew the Longsword from his waist and made nine swift thrusts.

HISS! HISS! HISS!

The sword flashes were like lightning, their killing intent so icy it seemed to shatter space itself. In the blink of an eye, nine deep holes appeared at the edge of the hall. This proved his sword was also a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure. Paired with his Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation Level, it could easily pierce the ground.

The nine Formation Flags shot into the nine holes. Instantly, a strange aura permeated the area, and people's Divine Senses could no longer accurately perceive the situation within.

Just as he finished setting up the Formation, Master Tianlong and the others arrived.

"Groups of three, guard the Formation Flags! The rest of you, come over here!" Zhang Hangkui ordered urgently.

"Hahaha... Run! Keep running! Let's see where you can escape to!"

Jack's voice rose almost simultaneously. He chased Zhang Bin like a meteor, his right hand emanating a chilling killing aura as he reached for Zhang Bin's head. It seemed there was absolutely no escape for Zhang Bin this time.

But just at that moment, Zhang Bin dove headfirst into a thick white mist, vanishing from Jack's Divine Sense. However, Jack had no intention of letting him escape. He thrust his hand forward, reaching fiercely into the white mist.

But he caught nothing. It was as though Zhang Bin had simply ceased to exist.

"What's going on?" A look of deep surprise spread across Jack's face as he stopped cautiously at the edge of the white mist. Ava and Sandra immediately stopped at Jack's sides, their gazes fixed vigilantly on the mist.

"This seems to be a Formation. This base actually has a Formation set up inside?" Jack finally realized, exclaiming in surprise.

"Could it be that this base contains not only Gene Enhancement Technology but also Cultivation Techniques and treasures left behind by a cultivation civilization?" Ava's face lit up with ecstasy, her eyes burning with a fervent glow.

"Let's go in and take a look," Sandra said, even more excited and impatient to enter.

They were Genetically Enhanced Humans. Although they could also cultivate, ordinary Cultivation Techniques didn't suit them, and their progress was slow. However, if the techniques in this base were different, they might be perfect for them. They could become even stronger. Overthrowing the human authorities, slaughtering countless people, and establishing a brand-new world would become that much easier.
