Chapter 145: Don't hit him

Lin Chen and Xia Nuan had just returned to the Firmament Villa and had not yet had time to treat the wounds on their bodies,

when the villa's metal gate was suddenly split by a crack. Gan Jiang's voice came from outside the door with a cold sneer: "You can hide once, but you can't hide a second time. Don't even think about escaping today, both of you!"

Lin Chen's expression sank. He hurriedly shielded Xia Nuan behind him and grabbed the Purple Lightning Purification Gun placed on the table.

With a "clatter," the gate was smashed open. Gan Jiang walked in, carrying a blood-stained long blade, the blade still dripping with unidentified blood. The killing intent in his eyes was even thicker than last time.

"I let you run from the laboratory last time, but this time, let's see who can come to save you." Gan Jiang approached step by step, the long blade dragging on the ground with a harsh, grating sound.

Xia Nuan gripped the short blade she had found on the storage shelf,

her voice trembling but still firm: "We won't let you succeed again. You will never know the secret of the repair device." Gan Jiang sneered, suddenly leaping up, his long blade aimed straight at Lin Chen's throat. Lin Chen dodged to the side,

and at the same time pulled the trigger, an armor-piercing round shooting toward Gan Jiang's chest. But Gan Jiang's movements were shockingly fast;

with a flick of his wrist, the long blade precisely blocked the bullet. The bullet ricocheted away, leaving a deep pit in the wall.

"Still so slow." After landing, Gan Jiang swung his blade backhand, the blade wind sweeping toward Xia Nuan.

Lin Chen hurriedly pushed Xia Nuan away, but he himself was grazed on the shoulder by the blade wind, fresh blood instantly staining his torn clothes.

He stumbled backward, mobilizing his Absolute Zero ability to condense ice spikes and shoot them toward Gan Jiang.

Gan Jiang, however, did not dodge or evade. Waving his long blade, all the ice spikes were smashed into ice fragments, not even touching the corner of his clothes.

Xia Nuan took the opportunity to circle behind Gan Jiang, stabbing her short blade toward his back. Gan Jiang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head;

he turned abruptly, his long blade catching the short blade. With a forceful press of his wrist, Xia Nuan's short blade was instantly knocked from her hand,

and her whole body was jolted back a few steps, hitting the wall, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. "A woman dares to join in the fun? Truly overestimating yourself." After Gan Jiang finished speaking, he kicked Xia Nuan in the abdomen. Xia Nuan let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground, unable to crawl up for a long time.

"Don't touch her!

" Lin Chen rushed over with red eyes, his fist wrapped in cold air, smashing toward Gan Jiang. Gan Jiang dodged to the side,

and the long blade swept horizontally, cutting into Lin Chen's waist and abdomen. A wound deep enough to see bone appeared instantly, and fresh blood flowed down the wound, soaking his pants. Lin Chen endured the excruciating pain,

reaching out to grab Gan Jiang's wrist, but was grabbed by the arm in return. With a forceful twist, a "crack" sound came from Lin Chen's arm, and the Purple Lightning Purification Gun also fell to the ground.

Gan Jiang pressed Lin Chen against the wall, his long blade against his neck: "Are you going to talk or not? Where is the secret of the repair device?

And that Absolute Zero ability of yours, how exactly did you get it?" Lin Chen gritted his teeth,

spitting a mouthful of saliva onto Gan Jiang's face: "Even if I die, I won't tell you!" Enraged, Gan Jiang smashed a fist into Lin Chen's chest. Lin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, sliding down the wall to the ground, his consciousness beginning to blur.

Seeing Lin Chen being beaten, Xia Nuan struggled to crawl up, picking up the Purple Lightning Purification Gun from the ground,

and firing at Gan Jiang. The bullet hit Gan Jiang's back but felt like it hit a steel plate,

leaving only a shallow mark. Gan Jiang turned his head, looking at Xia Nuan with icy eyes: "Looks like I have to make you shut up completely first." He carried the long blade and walked toward Xia Nuan, every step feeling like it was stepping on both their hearts.

Lin Chen used his last bit of strength, mobilizing the remaining cold air in his body to condense an ice thorn,

shooting it toward Gan Jiang's knee. Gan Jiang sensed the movement and dodged to the side, the ice thorn grazing his pant leg and sticking into the ground. He turned his head to look at Lin Chen and stepped on Lin Chen's arm. Lin Chen let out a shrill scream, the wound on his arm splitting open again, fresh blood staining Gan Jiang's boots.

"Don't hit him!

" Xia Nuan cried out as she rushed over, but was slapped to the ground by Gan Jiang. Her cheek instantly swelled red, and the corner of her mouth was also cut. Looking at the two people covered in blood on the ground, Gan Jiang's eyes were full of disdain: "With just this little ability,

you still dare to fight me? Today, I will slowly torture you until you tell me the secret." He raised his long blade, about to slash down at Lin Chen's leg. Lin Chen and Xia Nuan could only watch the blade light fall, having no strength even to dodge, and could only let pain and despair envelop them. ===== CHAPTER 146 =====
