Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 130 Breaking the Cauldrons and Sinking the Boats!
Chen Xiao’s expression grew solemn. To be honest, this was the first time in his career that he had encountered such an opponent. A Half-step Grandmaster-level powerhouse had already transcended human limits. Their strength was incredibly formidable!
Nevertheless, he was unafraid.
An intense fighting spirit surged within him.
The gray-robed elder’s eyes twitched before he sneered, "Young man, you may have some strength, but it’s your misfortune to have crossed my path. This is a rare opportunity to eliminate one of the Divine Land’s so-called geniuses!"
With that, a bloodthirsty look filled his eyes. He lunged straight at Chen Xiao, leaving only an afterimage in the air.
BANG!
Their bodies collided with a thunderous impact. The onlookers couldn’t even see their shadows. In just one or two seconds, the two of them had exchanged no less than thirty blows, their speed pushed to the absolute limit.
After dozens of exchanges, Chen Xiao stumbled back several steps, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of his mouth.
The gray-robed elder’s face was a mask of astonishment. "How is this possible? You’re merely at Grandmaster Peak, yet you withstood dozens of my palm strikes. It seems I can’t afford to let you live!"
A hint of madness flashed in Chen Xiao’s eyes. "If you want me dead, let’s see if you have what it takes!"
"Die!" the gray-robed elder roared. He channeled all his power into an attack on Chen Xiao. His aura was overwhelmingly tyrannical, brimming with terrifying destructive force!
Chen Xiao roared and threw a punch. But unlike before, he directly unleashed all the Spiritual Power he had cultivated within his body. Empowered by this formidable energy, his strength increased explosively!
CRACK!
The gray-robed elder’s arm shattered on impact, instantly obliterated into a mist of blood.
Chen Xiao’s ferocious punch not only destroyed the elder’s fist but also collapsed his chest, shredded his internal organs, and blew a massive hole clean through his back.
His eyes widened in utter disbelief as he slowly crumpled to the ground...
Annihilated with a single, overpowering punch.
The remaining Yang Country Warriors were all dumbfounded.
A Half-step Grandmaster... killed on the spot by Chen Xiao just like that?
Intense fear filled their eyes.
However, before they could react, Chen Xiao’s afterimage swept through them, accompanied by the faint cry of a dragon. In an instant, the Yang Country Warriors fell one by one, clutching their throats.
The pungent, metallic smell of blood filled the air.
Chen Xiao slumped to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The old master once told him that Spiritual Power was a tier of energy higher than Inner Strength. It was not to be used lightly unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, in his current physical state, he would surely suffer a backlash. But in that situation, he’d had no choice. Without it, he wouldn’t have stood a chance against the gray-robed elder.
Xu Yanran watched everything, completely dazed. She knew Chen Xiao was strong, but she never imagined that, at full power, he could be this formidable. He had killed even a Half-step Grandmaster with a single punch!
"Are you all right?" she asked, rushing over to help him up.
"Do I look all right to you?" Chen Xiao wiped the blood from his lips and glanced at the corpses on the ground. "Let’s go in."
I’ll see for myself what these People of Yang Country are trying to steal from the Divine Land, going to such lengths and stationing these experts here to guard it.
Xu Yanran nodded, took out a key, and turned it in the lock of the alloy door.
The door slowly swung open.
The two exchanged a look and quickly slipped inside, but the moment they were through, the heavy alloy door slammed shut behind them! Their expressions changed. Glancing around, they saw the interior was a sealed box of reinforced alloy—a fortress of steel. There was no keyhole inside, only a keypad lock.
Their hearts sank.
Still, they remained relatively calm and immediately began searching the space for what they came for. The warehouse contained mountains of precious jewels and cash, a testament to the astonishing wealth of the Watanabe Clan. Finally, in a corner, they found a small, inconspicuous box.
Meanwhile, up on deck, Watanabe Ichiba’s expression changed drastically!
"Someone opened the warehouse?!" He clenched his fists. "My Watanabe Clan has ten Shikigami guarding that warehouse. How could anyone have possibly gotten inside?"
A sensor on his person was blaring an alarm. Someone had broken in.
Jiang Tianquan’s face fell, his heart pounding in his chest. "You said there wouldn’t be any problems! Why did someone break in? Are your men just for decoration?!"
Watanabe Ichiba replied coldly, "My Watanabe Clan dispatched a Half-step Grandmaster-level expert to guard that area! If even he couldn’t stop them, it just means the intruder is incredibly powerful..."
Jiang Tianquan clicked his tongue in shock. I can’t even imagine how terrifying a Half-step Grandmaster is! And even someone like that couldn’t guard the warehouse? Who the hell broke in?
"So what do we do now?" Jiang Tianquan forced himself to calm down. If this matter was exposed, not only he but the entire Jiang Family would be implicated.
Watanabe Ichiba gritted his teeth. "What else can we do? We have to initiate the final plan."
Damn it all... The Watanabe Clan went through so much to obtain that thing, and now I have to destroy it with my own hands? But he knew it was the only way. Only by destroying it would he have a chance to escape with his life, and only then would the Watanabe Clan’s ambitions remain hidden.
With that thought, he set his jaw and, with a trembling hand, pressed a button in his pocket.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
In the ship’s hold, Chen Xiao and Xu Yanran were holding the box, about to open it, when they heard a distinct mechanical ticking from within.
Chen Xiao quickly flipped the lid. Inside were several vials of brightly colored liquid labeled "gene potion," but what made his blood run cold was the bomb nestled inside!
The ticking was coming from the bomb. Its timer showed only a few seconds remaining... and the countdown continued.
Xu Yanran’s face turned deathly pale. "That’s a custom-made bomb! It’s powerful enough to completely obliterate this entire alloy warehouse!"
Chen Xiao immediately threw the bomb to the farthest corner of the warehouse. The next second, he grabbed the box with one hand, yanked Xu Yanran to the ground with the other, and shielded her with his body.
Pressed tightly against him, the masculine scent from his body gave her an unexpected sense of security. That, combined with the overwhelming fear gripping her heart, made her subconsciously clutch his body tighter.
BOOM—
A colossal explosion ripped through the ship, and the entire Alice shuddered violently.
The whole alloy warehouse was instantly destroyed. The horrific blast felt like it was tearing Chen Xiao apart, and he coughed up blood continuously.
Following the explosion, a large hole was blown in the warehouse wall. The raging river water roared in, flooding the space like a ravenous beast sweeping in to devour them.
Xu Yanran’s face turned ghostly white. "We’re done for! I... I can’t swim!"
"Take a deep breath and hold on tight!" Chen Xiao gritted out.
Xu Yanran nervously wrapped her arms and legs around him.
Carrying Xu Yanran, Chen Xiao swam desperately toward the blasted opening. It was their only way out.
