Revelation of the Way of Heaven

When they came out of the room, they didn't see anyone else in the corridor; it seemed they had all been drawn to Han Kexin and Mo Yu.

Qin Xiaochuan forced the man to the keypad door, made him enter the password and fingerprint, and as the door opened, he slammed his fist on the back of the man's head, causing him to faint.

Behind the coded door is a three-meter-long corridor, beyond which lies the research lab area. The lab contains lab benches and equipment for conducting experiments, with different areas separated by transparent glass.

The five superhumans were in a room on the left side of the research lab, so they couldn't possibly see this passage. He pointed to the left to Guo Shiyi, who nodded, and the two quietly crept into the research lab.

The research lab was unusually quiet, but the alarms and sounds of battle outside could be clearly heard. While this heightened the vigilance of those inside, it also masked the sounds of their infiltration, giving them a better chance to get closer to their targets.

The urgent alarm kept ringing in Qin Xiaochuan's mind, making him both nervous and worried. This was his first time fighting someone in real combat, and it was a battle against someone of a higher level right from the start.

Although he had spoken confidently to Guo Shiyi earlier, he was still a little nervous as he faced this first real battle. He really hoped that Guo Shiyi could control both of them during the sneak attack.

Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the passage, the alarms and sounds of battle outside suddenly subsided considerably. The keypad door must have closed automatically, effectively creating a small battlefield for them.

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized that they had overlooked a serious problem.

sound!

Indeed, it's clear that the soundproofing of this keypad door is quite good, meaning that the person inside should have noticed their entry the moment they opened the door.

Qin Xiaochuan immediately turned around and looked back. The sight made his heart leap into his throat.

It's unclear when it started, but the shadows he and Guo Shiyi were standing on suddenly rose from the ground and transformed into a physical entity. It had no specific face, only a general human shape, and it was holding an axe, which it was swinging down at them.

"Get out of the way!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, and before the shadow's axe could fall, he immediately darted toward Guo Shiyi and pulled her out from under the axe.

Having narrowly escaped the attack, Qin Xiaochuan broke out in a cold sweat, but the crisis was far from over.

Just as the two dodged the shadow's attack, a shockwave shot out from in front of them. At the same time, the shadow behind them swung its axe at them again. They were ambushed from the front and pursued from the back, and the two were in the passageway with no room to maneuver.

"Don't stay in the corridor, let's rush to the front hall!" Guo Shiyi was more experienced than him, and even in such a difficult situation, she was able to remain calm and quickly come up with the most reasonable battle plan.

Just as she finished speaking, a wind blade appeared in front of her and quickly met the shockwave in front of the two of them.

The wind blade was significantly more powerful than the shockwave. The shockwave vanished without a trace upon encountering the wind blade, but the wind blade did not dissipate; instead, it continued to surge forward.

Under the cover of the wind blades, the two rushed forward. When they reached the entrance of the passage, the wind blades struck the glass in the research room, and a series of "ping-pong" sounds were heard as glass shards flew everywhere.

Qin Xiaochuan had to raise his silver shield to block the shards of glass. Even so, his clothes were torn in several places, and he was left with a small wound on his thigh.

Upon reaching the entrance, he immediately saw five superhumans in the research lab. Two of them were lying on an experimental table, presumably the two level 5 superhumans. They had many instruments and tubes inserted into their bodies, all of which led to a single instrument, making it look like they were being experimented on.

The level 6 spiritual power user was guarding the experimental table, while the two level 4 spiritual power users rushed to the center of the laboratory. One of them was wearing an earth-yellow vest, revealing his muscular body, while the other was wearing a black bodysuit and holding a black short shotgun. The shockwave from earlier was emitted by him.

Just as the two rushed to the entrance of the passage, a black shadow emerged from beneath their feet again. The shadow was so large that it seemed to want to swallow them whole.

"Scatter!" Guo Shiyi shouted. Qin Xiaochuan rushed to the right without hesitation, while Guo Shiyi rushed to the left. As she rushed, she quickly formed a hand seal, and a vine quickly climbed up the black-clad man with the shotgun.

"Bang, bang." Two gunshots rang out, and the man in black directly dispersed the vines. If she faced the enemy head-on, even if her spiritual power was two levels higher than his, Guo Shiyi could not control the man in black in an instant. Immediately afterwards, the shadows around her attacked her.

Qin Xiaochuan certainly couldn't go to help her; in fact, he was in the most dangerous situation. After the man in black got rid of Guo Shiyi's attack, he immediately launched a powerful shockwave at him.

Another muscular man seemed to be a close-combat type. He immediately charged towards him with speed and size like a mad bull in a bullring. Even without launching an attack, his aura was enough to send chills down one's spine.

After all, it was his first real battle, and he was facing two people with level 4 spiritual power. Qin Xiaochuan felt a little flustered and quickly took out a stack of talismans from his pocket. Regardless of what kind of skill they were, he threw them all at the muscular man.

There were about seven or eight talismans in the stack, but in his haste, he only managed to activate the skills on three of them. Two of them were earth-type, and one was wind-type.

The three D-level skills could not possibly harm the muscular man. The two earth-type skills created two earth walls, which were directly shattered by the muscular man with a single punch. As for the wind-type rapid wind blades, they did almost no damage to him.

However, the three skills were not entirely ineffective. The sandstorm created by the earthen wall and wind blades made it difficult for the muscular man to open his eyes for a moment, thus slowing down his advance and serving as a barrier.

Although he had temporarily blocked the muscular man, the danger to him had not diminished in the slightest. After he threw out three talismans, the shockwave from the man in black immediately shot towards him. At this point, he had no time to dodge and had no choice but to raise his silver shield to meet it.

"Bang!" Qin Xiaochuan felt a huge impact rushing towards him, and then his body suddenly felt light, and he flew backward, crashing into the glass in the research room, followed by another sound of shattering glass.

"So you're just a fledgling (people with superpowers usually refer to beginners in spiritual power as fledglings)," the muscular man said with utter contempt.

The man in black blew on the muzzle of his gun and said, "We're wasting our energy. You can have this place. I'm going to support the boss. That little girl seems to be quite something."

"Go ahead," the muscular man said with a sneer. "I'm going to really kill this little chick." He then slowly walked towards Qin Xiaochuan.

Qin Xiaochuan got up from the ground. The shockwave from the man in black seemed powerful, but it was actually mostly neutralized by the silver shield he generated with his level 8 spiritual power. So he only suffered some superficial injuries and it was nothing serious.

As the muscular man slowly approached, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately threw a fireball at him, but the muscular man simply punched him and shattered the fireball.
