284: Dual superpowers!

Hopkins was stunned, then nodded: "Yes, sir, Robert has done an excellent job."

Ye Chen nodded, the smile on his face deepening, but his eyes turned cold.

"Then he might already be dead."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned!

The smile on Dr. Hopkins' face froze.

Director Liu's mouth hung open.

The other team members also looked at Ye Chen in astonishment.

Not...

Isn't he standing right there, perfectly fine?

How could he be dead?

Hawk's gaze suddenly became as sharp as a knife, and the gentle aura belonging to a researcher vanished from his body, replaced by a sinister sense of danger, like a snake revealing its poison fang in the darkness.

"Mr. Ye, what... what do you mean by this?" Dr. Hopkins frowned, his tone displeased, "Robert is standing right here; he is a living person!"

Ye Chen didn't look at the doctor, his gaze remained locked on Hawk.

"Ask this 'Robert' yourself..."

"Is his true identity the fifth-ranked killer on the Dark Web, 'poison fang' Hawk?"

Fifth-ranked on the Dark Web!

A killer!

'poison fang' Hawk!

Every word was like a heavy hammer, smashing into the hearts of everyone in the laboratory!

Dr. Hopkins and the other team members were completely bewildered, their faces written with absurdity and disbelief.

Director Liu didn't know what poison fang was, nor did he know Hawk, but he knew the word "killer"...

So much so that his legs almost went weak!

Hawk was silent for two seconds, then suddenly laughed too.

He raised his hand and gently peeled behind his ear, tearing off a thin, cicada-wing-like human skin mask, revealing a pale, gaunt face.

At the same time.

The pressure of a Heaven Realm Expert spread like a tidal wave, and the temperature in the entire laboratory seemed to drop by several degrees!

He licked his somewhat chapped lips and hissed with a laugh.

"Ye Chen, you are even more keen than I imagined."

"However, since you have recognized me, I have no choice but to send you to your death!"

"That bounty money is mine!"

"You... what did you do to Robert?" Dr. Hopkins' face turned deathly pale, his finger pointing at Hawk trembling, his voice filled with shock and anger.

The team members beside him also retreated in terror, huddling together.

Hawk glanced at the doctor, his eyes looking as if at an ant.

"Old dog, that genius assistant of yours?"

"He long ago turned into a puddle of water and was flushed down the sewer."

"What, do you want to accompany him?"

Dr. Hopkins was struck by lightning, staggering back two steps, leaning against the cold laboratory bench, all color drained from his face, leaving only boundless fear.

The team members behind him let out a cry of alarm, some even covering their mouths.

Fuck!

He actually left no corpse behind!

Hawk ignored this group of terrified researchers, his attention completely locked on Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, die!"

He let out a low roar, his figure suddenly blurring!

The next moment, he had already appeared less than three feet in front of Ye Chen!

What was even more hair-raising was that his right hand, which had been a normal skin tone, was now pitch black like ink, as if viscous black liquid was flowing under the skin, emitting a foul odor!

That black palm carried a fishy wind, fast as lightning, striking straight at Ye Chen's chest!

Poison ability!

A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

That's right, abilities truly exist.

Bureau 749 manages these types of ability users.

This stuff is different from acquired martial arts training and tempering true energy; abilities are more of an innate talent.

Once awakened, one can demonstrate various incredible powers through familiarity and development of their own capabilities.

The mental cultivation method Ye Chen taught Bai Shanshan could, to some extent, be seen as a way to guide and strengthen innate mental potential, embarking on the path of "acquired ability" cultivation.

And Hawk's pitch-black palm was precisely the manifestation of his awakened "Poison-type ability"!

"Interesting."

Facing this eerie and swift poison palm, Ye Chen only gave a faint evaluation.

Then.

He didn't dodge or evade, clenched his right hand into a fist, and threw a straight punch to meet the pitch-black poison palm!

No flashy light effects, no explosive energy projection, only the low whistle of his fist breaking through the air.

However.

Just as the fist and palm were about to make contact...

"Layered Wave Strength!"

Ye Chen whispered in his heart.

"Bang!!!"

The fist and palm collided solidly!

The first muffled sound was like a thunderclap on flat ground, causing the laboratory's glassware to hum!

The sneer on Hawk's face instantly froze; he felt as if his poison palm had struck an erupting volcano!

So much so that.

A majestic! Scorching! Terrifying force, layer upon layer, surged along his arm like a tsunami!

The first layer of force, incomparably fierce, directly shattered the black radiance of the poison ability gathered in his palm!

"How is this possible?"

Hawk's pupils contracted sharply, "Why is your power so strong???"

Ye Chen didn't speak, the second punch smashed down directly, the second layer of force following closely!

"Ugh!"

Hawk gave a muffled groan, a heart-piercing pain shooting through his entire right arm, the pitch-black skin color instantly fading for the most part, turning a purplish-red bruise.

But it wasn't over yet!

Ye Chen's fist struck again, as if endless and inexhaustible.

So much so that.

The third layer of "Layered Wave Strength" erupted!

"Boom——!!!"

"Crack!"

The sound of bone cracking accompanied Hawk's shrill scream!

"Pfft——!"

Hawk spat out a mouthful of blood, his feet leaving the ground as he flew backward fiercely!

His body drew a parabola in the air, knocking over a precision spectrometer in the distance, and finally slammed into the laboratory's sturdy alloy wall before sliding limply to the ground.

A clear human-shaped indentation was left on the wall.

Hawk's chest was sunken, his right arm twisted strangely, his face covered in blood and unbelievable horror.

He struggled to lift his head, looking at the person still standing in place, his eyes full of shock and panic.

He, a dignified peerless killer...

Actually couldn't take a single punch from this young man!

Their intelligence was wrong!

Ye Chen was not just an ordinary Heaven Realm Expert at all; this power was at least at the Heavenly Realm Peak, or even...

Above that!!!

He spat out a mouthful of blood and asked tremblingly: "How... how strong are you???"

"You don't need to know." Ye Chen walked over step by step, "Because a person about to die is not qualified to know."

"Don't underestimate me!!!"

Hawk's face twisted, his left hand reaching into his bosom like lightning, pulling out a thumb-thick vial of medicine, and without hesitation, he stabbed it into the vein of his right arm!

The medicine was rapidly pushed in.

Hawk's whole body trembled violently, veins on his forehead bulging, his eyes instantly bloodshot, and a beast-like low roar came from his throat.

"Kid... no matter who you are, only one of us can live today!"

"Let you taste..."

"My true power!!!"

Amidst the roar, the vial emptied.

The aura around him, which had originally withered, ignited like a powder keg, climbing crazily! Surging!

The next second.

The air suddenly stagnated.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The glassware, test tubes, beakers on the surrounding laboratory tables, and even the observation window glass on the wall...

All exploded simultaneously!

Countless fragments floated up, circling around Hawk, spinning faster and faster, forming a terrifying tornado connecting the floor and ceiling in the blink of an eye!

At the edge of the storm, the air was cut with a screeching sound!

"Huh?"

Ye Chen's eyes shifted slightly, a trace of surprise flashing across his face, "Used drugs to stimulate a dual ability?"

He really didn't expect that besides the poison-type ability, this Hawk had also hidden a telekinesis-type ability to control objects!

And looking at this momentum, under the stimulation of the medicine, this second ability was clearly forcibly raised to a quite astonishing level!

"Die!!!"

Hawk's eyes were blood-red, the corners of his mouth split into a crazed arc, and he pushed his hands forward violently!

"Rumble!"

The glass storm, like a ferocious giant python, tore through the air and roared towards Ye Chen!

Wherever it passed, laboratory tables were easily sliced in two, and sparks flew from the metal instrument casings!

Facing this destructive storm that swept everything, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged.

He stepped forward lightly with his right foot.

"Tiangang Step, Suppress!"

An invisible wall of energy, thick and steady as the earth, suddenly unfolded in front of him!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The violent glass storm smashed fiercely against the energy wall, sending out continuous muffled explosions!

Countless fragments were further shattered in the impact, turning into crystal powder, which was then rolled by the subsequent storm, crazily cutting and impacting!

However.

That invisible energy wall stood motionless!

This scene was like a reef in a tsunami, firmly blocking all violent offensives!

"What?!"

The madness on Hawk's face instantly froze, turning into deeper horror!

His killer move, which he had sacrificed his life to catalyze, couldn't even break the opponent's protective energy wall???

Ye Chen ignored his shock, tilted his head slightly, and said in a deep voice to Bai Wanqing and the others who were already pale with fear not far behind him: "Everyone get out."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanqing suddenly woke up and asked urgently: "What about you?"

"Don't worry."

Ye Chen stared at Hawk, saying lightly, "Go out, and then close the door."

Bai Wanqing gritted her teeth, knowing that staying here would only be a burden.

She nodded vigorously and ordered Director Liu and the others: "Go quickly! Everyone out!"

The group scrambled towards the laboratory door and fled in a panic.

The heavy airtight door quickly locked, sealing the inside and outside into two worlds.

In the laboratory, only the howling storm remained, along with the two people staring at each other from across the storm.

Ye Chen then looked at Hawk behind the storm and sighed gently.

"This is not fun at all."

The moment his voice fell, Ye Chen raised his right foot again and kicked forward.

With this step, the invisible energy wall in front of him suddenly bulged forward, as if it had turned into a huge, invisible foot, kicking towards the violent glass storm!
