Chapter 144: Inevitable

Lin Chen held Xia Nuan, who had just come out of the Life Repair Instrument, and had just walked out of the abandoned laboratory,

when he heard rapid footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw Gan Jiang chasing after them quickly with a long knife,

the knife body reflecting cold light, his eyes full of killing intent. "You think you can run away? Hand over the blueprints of the Life Repair Instrument, and I can give you a quick death!"

Lin Chen protected Xia Nuan behind him and gripped the Purple Lightning Purification Gun: "There are no blueprints for the repair instrument, if you want to fight, come on,

stop talking nonsense!" Gan Jiang sneered, jumped up, and the long knife slashed toward the top of Lin Chen's head. Lin Chen dodged to the side, while pulling the trigger,

the armor-piercing bullet shot toward Gan Jiang's chest. Gan Jiang didn't dodge or evade, accurately blocking the bullet with the long knife, the bullet flew past the knife surface and hit the ice nearby, splashing a piece of ice shards.

"With this little ability? Where did the momentum of solving mutant creatures before go?

" After Gan Jiang landed, he waved the knife again, the knife wind carrying cold Qi, slashing toward Lin Chen's waist and abdomen. Lin Chen mobilized Absolute Zero, condensed an ice shield in front of him,

but Gan Jiang's knife was too sharp, the ice shield was instantly split into two halves, the knife wind swept across Lin Chen's side waist, drawing a wound deep enough to reveal bone, blood instantly gushing out.

Xia Nuan saw Lin Chen injured, immediately took out a dagger from her pocket, and stabbed toward Gan Jiang's back.

Gan Jiang noticed the movement behind him, backhanded the knife back to smash toward Xia Nuan, Xia Nuan couldn't dodge in time,

was hit on the shoulder, staggered back a few steps, the dagger fell to the ground, and her shoulder soon became red and swollen. "Obstacle woman, solve you first!" Gan Jiang turned and rushed toward Xia Nuan, the long knife taking her throat directly.

Lin Chen endured the intense pain,

pounced over to hold Gan Jiang's leg, and shouted at Xia Nuan: "Run! Don't worry about me!

" Xia Nuan didn't run, picked up the dagger on the ground, rushed over again, and stabbed toward Gan Jiang's arm. Gan Jiang was entangled by Lin Chen and couldn't dodge completely,

the dagger stabbed into his arm, blood flowing down the wound. He roared, kicked Lin Chen away, Lin Chen fell heavily on the ice, the wound on his chest split again, blood staining his clothes red.

Gan Jiang pulled out the dagger on his arm,

threw it on the ground, his eyes becoming more ferocious: "Since you don't run, then die together!" He raised the long knife,

slashing toward Lin Chen and Xia Nuan at the same time. Lin Chen and Xia Nuan could only dodge wretchedly, but were still swept by the knife wind, several wounds added to their bodies.

Xia Nuan's arm was scratched, blood dripping on the ice along her fingertips, soon freezing into red ice crystals; Lin Chen's forehead was grazed by the knife wind, blood flowing into his eyes, his vision instantly blurred.

"You are not my opponent at all, resistance will only be more painful!" Gan Jiang attacked,

while mocking, the long knife constantly falling beside the two, the ice surface being slashed with cracks.

Lin Chen tried to mobilize Absolute Zero to condense ice spikes, but the intense pain of the wound made him unable to concentrate, and the ice spikes dissipated as soon as they formed. Xia Nuan also gradually became physically exhausted, her dodging movements becoming slower and slower, her back was slashed by the long knife, her clothes torn a big hole, revealing bloody wounds.

The two leaned together, the wounds on their bodies were all bleeding, their faces and clothes were full of blood stains, they were beaten to a bloody mess, but still gritted their teeth and persisted, not giving up resistance.

He stopped his attack and crossed his arms over his chest: "Hand over the secret of the repair device now, and I might still leave your corpses intact;

otherwise, I will let you experience the taste of death by a thousand cuts." Lin Chen wiped the blood from his eyes, looked at Gan Jiang, and said through gritted teeth: "Even if we die, we will not tell you anything!"

Xia Nuan also nodded, enduring the excruciating pain as she said: "We will not let you succeed!"

Gan Jiang sneered and raised his long blade once more: "Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!" He charged toward the two of them, his long blade whistling through the air, aiming straight for Lin Chen's chest. This strike was fast and vicious, clearly intended to be fatal. Lin Chen and Xia Nuan exchanged a glance, both seeing resolve in the other's eyes. They clenched their fists, preparing to use their last ounce of strength to resist; even if it meant mutual destruction, they would not let Gan Jiang succeed.
