"Hm?"
Upon hearing that deep, powerful rumbling sound, Netherworld was suddenly taken aback, and his steps halted.
A sudden ominous premonition surged in his heart!
This sound...
Why does this sound so much like a human heartbeat?
Could it be, could it be that Ye Qiu has awakened?
"How is this possible?"
Netherworld shook his head vigorously, his eyes filled with disbelief, thinking that when I was close to Ye Qiu before, I took the opportunity to check his condition. He was clearly dead, how could he possibly be alive?
At this moment, Bai Lan and Lin Haode were also stunned, not understanding what was happening.
Once they snapped out of it, everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
The next moment, Bai Lan and the others were stunned again!
In the near distance, Ye Qiu, whose heartbeat had previously stopped, was now slowly turning around!
And that deep, powerful rumbling sound was actually Ye Qiu's heartbeat!
The Demon King Ye Qiu had actually awakened!
At the same time, in the military district, inside the conference room.
"Ye Qiu has awakened! Everyone, look! Our Demon King has awakened!"
"The Demon King isn't dead!"
"That's great, truly great!"
Including Fei Ming, all the leaders were thrilled!
"The Demon King... how could he possibly die?" Fei Ming showed a relieved smile.
Soon, his gaze turned cold again.
"Wang Rong, you're dead!"
Inside the laboratory.
At this moment, Ye Qiu also didn't understand what was happening, only feeling a surge of powerful vitality within himself!
Unprecedented strength!
Full of explosiveness!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
At this moment, Ye Qiu's heart pounded vigorously, like a volcanic eruption, blood bursting forth, flowing through his veins!
Like the surging waters of the Yangtze River, rushing endlessly!
Feeling genuinely alive, Ye Qiu was overjoyed and slowly turned around.
Soon after, he saw Bai Lan and Lin Haode among others.
And he saw Netherworld!
Almost instantly, a towering anger ignited in Ye Qiu's eyes!
Bai Lan and the others had been injured by Netherworld!
Severely injured!
Especially when he saw the injuries on Bai Lan and the two Demon Corps warriors, Ye Qiu's anger burned even more fiercely!
At this moment, Bai Lan's once beautiful face was already covered in scarlet blood!
Her clothes were torn, and there were noticeable scrapes on her arm!
As for the two Demon Corps warriors, their wounds were all fatal!
If they hadn't been strong enough, they would have already been killed by Netherworld!
"Netherworld!!!" Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, his eyes suddenly bursting with a fierce killing intent!
At this moment, it was as if a rampaging primeval beast was roaring within him!
"Hurt my brothers, hurt my woman, and there's no mercy!"
Up ahead.
Netherworld was in doubt when he suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness from behind!
In an instant, an unprecedented fear engulfed his heart!
"As expected... as expected, the Demon King has awakened..." Netherworld's expression turned rigid, scared out of his wits.
The only one who could instill such fear in him, besides the Demon King, who else could it be?
At this moment, Netherworld was filled with regret.
Why?
Why was I so careless?
Why didn't I make sure to stab Ye Qiu a couple more times beforehand?
Netherworld couldn't think any further, not daring to look back, he mustered all his strength in his legs, and his body instantly dashed away, wanting to escape!
However, just as he reached the laboratory door, a large hand suddenly appeared!
Like an iron clamp, it grabbed his head!
"Did I say you could leave?" Ye Qiu's icy voice entered Netherworld's ears.
"I, I..."
Netherworld's legs trembled uncontrollably in fear, tears almost flowing out, he stammered, "Demon King, I was wrong, let me go, I really know I was wrong, the potion I..."
Crack!
Before Netherworld could finish pleading, Ye Qiu's right foot kicked fiercely, instantly shattering his kneecap!
The position is just right, it hits the body's pain point!
"Ah! Ah!!!"
The Netherworld screamed in unbearable agony, with beads of sweat covering his forehead, letting out cries like a slaughtered pig, and wailed, "Demon King, spare me, I won't dare again, I truly won't... Ah!!!"
"When you hurt my woman and my brothers, didn't you think of this?" Ye Qiu asked coldly.
Crack!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiu kicked again, breaking Netherworld's other leg!
"Ah!"
"Stop, I beg you, stop!"
Netherworld howled in torment!
He was worse than dead!
Feeling the ruthlessness of Ye Qiu's actions, he felt at this moment that his whole life had lost its meaning!
Ye Qiu ignored him, continuing to attack, thinking of Bai Lan and his brothers, his inner rage burned even more fiercely!
Netherworld's wails continued until he nearly fainted in despair. Suddenly, Ye Qiu let out a low shout, gripping his head with force, and unbelievably crushed his skull instantly!
Blood sprayed out!
The world's number one assassin, Netherworld, was dead!
Bang!
Taking the potion from Netherworld's body, Ye Qiu kicked him hard, sending him flying away.
"Ye Qiu, how are you?" Lin Haode came running, asking with concern.
Ye Qiu shook his head, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Then, he fell into thought.
Since waking up, he had been confused about why after absorbing the Black Matter, he could still awaken?
Moreover, his strength had also increased significantly!
Now Ye Qiu had broken through to the King Realm!
Ye Qiu carefully examined his internal condition.
"Hmm?" A few seconds later, his gaze focused as he found the problem!
In his Dantian, there was an even stronger energy!
Though just a small cluster, Ye Qiu clearly felt that the energy was very violent!
Like a living volcano, it could erupt at any moment!
Once it erupts, it will unleash even more terrifying power!
"So it was those things!"
After closely observing for a while, Ye Qiu finally confirmed that the energy was exactly the Black Matter he absorbed earlier!
Now, all that Black Matter had been compressed, suppressed within the Dantian.
Feeling the violent energy, Ye Qiu frowned tightly, muttering to himself, "Seems like I can control this power, and once it erupts, it will give me even stronger strength.
But, this power certainly, like the Black Pearl, has terrifying side effects, making one irritable, even irrational, it's best not to use it lightly."
After clearing his thoughts, Ye Qiu slightly raised his head, smiled at Bai Lan and the others, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine now."
"Really?"
Bai Lan was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed forward and leapt into Ye Qiu's arms, hugging him tightly.
At this moment, a smile also appeared on her weary face.
"Rest assured, I'm fine now." Ye Qiu's tone was gentle, lightly patting Bai Lan's shoulder, comforting her emotions.
"Ye Qiu." At this time, Lin Haode glanced at the sacrificed warriors, thought for a moment, and said, "That bit of Genetic Potion earlier might be able to revive the sacrificed warriors, I can't guarantee, but I'd like to try."
"Why didn't you say earlier?" Ye Qiu gently pushed Bai Lan aside and carefully handed the potion to Lin Haode.
Lin Haode wasted no words, took a dropper, and with the help of his assistants, administered the potion to the sacrificed warriors.
Then he fetched an electrocardiogram to test the warriors' heartbeats.
The entire laboratory fell silent.
Everyone's gaze, including Ye Qiu's, was fixed on the monitor of the electrocardiogram.
"It moved! The ECG moved!"
"They have a heartbeat! Great, they have a heartbeat!"
More than ten minutes later.
Bai Lan, the assistants, and the two surviving warriors all screamed out in excitement!
Lin Haode quickly walked to Ye Qiu's side, frowning, lacking confidence, and said, "Although there is a heartbeat, it's very weak, whether these warriors can really come back to life, I really can't say for sure."
But Ye Qiu was very calm, speaking lightly, "Don't waste time, hurry to send them to the hospital!"
...
The warriors and the severely injured assistants were sent to the hospital and properly settled, Ye Qiu's tightly wound nerves finally relaxed a bit.
Outside the ward.
Ye Qiu dialed a number, "Have you found it yet, good!"
Boom!!!
With a burst of wild engine roar, an urban SUV charged out like a runaway stallion, bursting forth with a fierce momentum!
Inside the vehicle, the corner of Ye Qiu's mouth slightly curled up, showing a cold smile.
"Wang Rong, your life, I will claim it!"
