49: Mr. Chen, is this your full strength?

Chen Corporation Headquarters, top floor of the building.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and rain poured down.

Elder Chen stood by the window, silently looking down at the neon night view below.

At fifty, this should have been a Martial Artist's prime age, when their Qi and blood were most vigorous.

But the mirrored glass reflected a face like that of a seventy or eighty-year-old man.

The old wounds from the battle with a Yao Beast years ago still throbbed faintly, his Qi and blood were depleting day by day, and his body functions were constantly declining.

Elder Chen twisted open the metal seal of the genetic potion and drank the blood-red liquid inside in one gulp.

The moment the potion entered his throat, he could feel his cells greedily absorbing the medicinal effects, but this bit of vitality… was merely a drop in the bucket.

“Useless… all useless!”

Snap!

The test tube was crushed to pieces.

Since Chen Sheng’s death, the corporation’s research department had failed to make any Breakthroughs.

Those experts, earning exorbitant salaries, couldn't even understand one-tenth of the formulas in his son's notes.

Chen Corporation's research in the biomedical field ended here.

He would never return to the Grandmaster Realm in his lifetime…

Suddenly, Elder Chen’s cloudy pupils sharply contracted, and he slowly turned around.

In the darkness, a figure had appeared on the leather sofa at some unknown point.

That person was leisurely swirling a glass of red wine, and a flash of lightning outside the window illuminated his young face.

“Su Lei…”

The wrinkles on Elder Chen’s face trembled slightly.

The monstrous killing intent transformed into a few cold words, slowly squeezed out from between his teeth.

“Though I’m not sure how you bypassed hundreds of security guards to infiltrate here.”

“But to dare come alone to find this old man… your courage is commendable.”

“To be honest, your corporation’s security System…” Su Lei’s lips curved into a sneer, “is even more lax than the defenses of the Thorn Hive in K-zone.”

He took a small sip of red wine, and his brows immediately furrowed.

“This stuff costs half a million a bottle, doesn’t it?

“I suggest you take a trip to the Misty Mountains when you have time; the tea brewed with blood orchids there tastes quite good.”

“But you probably won’t have the chance.”

Elder Chen let out a cold laugh, his hunched body gradually straightened, and an astonishing Aura awakened within him.

“It seems you’ve had some strange encounters recently, giving you the illusion that you can challenge a Grandmaster.”

“Since you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep, let’s finish this…”

Before he finished speaking, the veins on Elder Chen’s withered arm bulged, and an abnormal blood-red color appeared under his skin.

The Qi and blood power that had been dormant for a long time suddenly erupted!

His figure suddenly blurred, and his claws tore through the air, emitting a wailing shriek!

“Boom!”

The leather sofa was torn into countless fragments by dozens of crisscrossing Qi currents, and the stuffing scattered like snowflakes.

Elder Chen’s face instantly darkened.

This attack had clearly locked onto Su Lei’s Qi, but it only caught an afterimage.

“Is this all you’ve got?”

The voice came from behind, so close it felt like it was against his ear.

Elder Chen spun around sharply, his elbow sweeping horizontally like a battle-axe, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind.

“Crash—”

The tempered glass shattered with a roar, and the heavy rain instantly poured into the room.

Su Lei, who had been behind him, had disappeared from his original spot at some point and moved to the other side of the living room.

“Playing tricks!”

Elder Chen snorted coldly, then lunged forward again, launching an assault like a raging storm.

His Moves were vicious and tricky, each strike carrying dozens of layers of force.

His left hand’s “Heart-Shattering Palm” aimed directly at the chest, and before the palm wind even arrived, it had shattered the crystal ornament on the office desk.

His right leg swept towards the temple like a steel whip, the Qi currents creating visible ripples in the air.

Three poisoned steel needles suddenly shot out from his suit cuff, aimed directly at Su Lei’s eyes and throat…

However, all attacks were in vain.

Su Lei’s figure was like a reflection in a mirror; each time he was about to be hit, he would blur for an instant, perfectly dodging the attack.

His steps were as light as a ghost, not even a corner of his clothes was stirred by the strong wind.

“Compared to the Vicious Beasts in the Misty Mountains, your attacks are like a child’s play.”

Su Lei stood not far away, smiling lightly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.

Elder Chen snorted coldly, trying to calm his disordered breathing.

The series of fierce attacks just now had vaguely agitated his old wounds.

He stared intently at Su Lei, hissing, “Stop being so mysterious. You can kill a fourth-tier Vicious Beast?”

“Joke!”

Su Lei didn’t answer, only cast a look of keen interest.

Like a cat toying with a dying mouse.

“Tonight is still long.”

“It’s a good opportunity for you to slowly experience… the gap between us.”

With that, Su Lei directly closed his eyes.

The heavy rain beat against the broken floor-to-ceiling windows, and the strong wind carried rain into the room.

Elder Chen’s body trembled slightly, his eyes bloodshot.

He stared at Su Lei, who stood before him with closed eyes, and monstrous rage surged in his chest.

How could a Grandmaster, famous throughout Jiangnan twenty years ago, ever be so underestimated?

“Arrogant!”

Elder Chen roared, his hunched body suddenly straightened, and his Aura sharply soared.

“Boom!”

The floor exploded with a roar; in that instant, his speed broke the sound barrier.

His right palm turned a metallic bluish-gray, and with an ear-piercing shriek, it aimed directly at Su Lei’s throat.

An invisible Qi current surged out from his body.

Wherever the palm wind passed.

The solid wood office desk silently turned to dust, the surface of the alloy safe instantly collapsed, and the flying glass shards vaporized in mid-air.

Yet, this killing blow only struck the afterimage Su Lei left behind.

Elder Chen stood in place, panting heavily, his gaze rapidly scanning his surroundings, trying to find Su Lei’s figure.

But the other party seemed to have vanished into thin air.

“How is this possible…”

Cold sweat slowly seeped from Elder Chen’s forehead.

Just now, he had forcefully burned his remaining Qi and blood to unleash a strike befitting a Grandmaster expert.

The Protective Aura that surged from his body enveloped the entire living room, leaving no blind spots!

Unless the other party…

“Escaped?”

Elder Chen’s gaze was fixed on the floor-to-ceiling window, his face shifting between light and dark.

The next second, he rejected this guess.

This was the top floor of the building, more than two hundred meters above the ground.

Jumping out the window to escape?

Unless the other party had a death wish…

As he was secretly speculating,

Su Lei, as if walking on air, stepped from outside the floor-to-ceiling window into the room, treading on empty space.

“No… impossible…” Elder Chen staggered backward, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“You, what exactly are you, human or ghost?!”

At this moment, Su Lei finally opened his eyes, which held an indescribable disappointment.

“Is this your full power?”

“You don’t even have the qualifications to entertain me…”

Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly vanished from its original spot.

“Pfft!”

Elder Chen’s face still held a trace of shock, but a hand had already pierced through his chest.

Su Lei indifferently withdrew his right hand.

His body trembled slightly, and the blood on his hand and clothes was instantly flicked away.

Without even glancing at Elder Chen, who lay lifeless on the ground, he went straight to the floor-to-ceiling window, leaped out, and plunged downward.

His entire body fell rapidly in a spread-eagle posture.

The strong wind shrieked in his ears, and his clothes flapped wildly in the airflow, rustling loudly.

Just as he was about to hit the ground,

He lightly tapped his toes in the Void Realm.

The downward momentum suddenly slowed, as if he was walking in the air, slowly descending.

Finally, he landed silently in a dimly lit alley.

Su Lei looked back at the brightly lit building in the distance.

The next moment, his figure disappeared into the darkness, as if he had never appeared.
