74: Kill one person every ten steps, and you will eventually achieve great success.

"Ahhh—!!!"

Xu Tianxiong's screams echoed through the empty laboratory, his eyeballs trembling violently, his pupils dilated to the limit.

Su Lei's Mental Energy was like a sharp blade, roughly slicing open his defensive consciousness and dissecting the secrets deep within his memories one by one.

In a certain laboratory, rows of incubation pods glowed with a faint blue light.

Inside each pod floated twisted creatures; some vaguely retained human outlines, while others had completely mutated into monsters...

A researcher was writing an experiment log—

"47th Fusion experiment, Fourth-Order Vicious Beast 'Cloud-Splitting Eagle' gene + Third-Order Martial Master spinal fluid, survival time: 3 minutes 12 seconds..."

Finally, in the deepest fragments of hidden memory, a blurred face appeared.

That person stood before the main console, personally playing the combat footage of the "Bloodwing Roc."

"The combat data for PX-3 is still not perfect; continue injecting genes for enhancement..."

"So it was him, Lin Qingcang..."

Su Lei silently withdrew his Mental Energy.

Xu Tianxiong slumped to the ground like a pile of mud, foaming at the mouth, his eyes unfocused.

His consciousness had been completely destroyed; even if he survived, he would only be an idiot.

Su Lei stood up, cold light flickering in his eyes.

Lin Qingcang was the supreme commander of Base No. 1, the second-in-command of the Western Military Region after Lin Xiaotian, and also the person in charge of the military's genetic experiments.

That Bloodwing Roc, known as experimental subject PX-3, was the project he was responsible for.

Su Lei felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter.

As long as he dealt with this Major General next, he would be able to obtain substantial evidence.

In addition to gaining support from Elder Ye, he could also mobilize the Martial Artist Association and troops from other war zones to assist.

But here was the problem.

With something happening at the Leide Group, the other party would inevitably be alerted.

Perhaps they had already received the news by now.

If he rushed in rashly, the other party might have already destroyed the evidence, relocated the experimental base, or set up a dragnet waiting for his arrival.

"Cannot force my way in..."

Su Lei took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his boiling Battle Intent; the closer he got to the truth, the more he needed to stay calm.

He wasn't afraid of the others, but the strength of Lin Xiaotian was unfathomable, making him feel a faint sense of apprehension.

Su Lei turned and walked toward the broken floor-to-ceiling window; the night wind whistled, blowing his clothes.

His Mental Energy suddenly erupted, shrouding the entire building.

Hundreds of cameras simultaneously sparked with electricity and emitted thick smoke.

Below, the sound of sirens approached from afar; reinforcements from the Leide Group were about to arrive.

Su Lei leaped, instantly disappearing into the night.

...

Three hours later.

A figure darted over the wall of Military Base No. 5.

Su Lei returned to the infirmary silently; the medical pod's lid closed automatically, and the pale green repair fluid once again covered his body.

Closing his eyes, his consciousness sank into the mental world.

This was an endless dark Void Realm, where only his will condensed into a physical form, holding a translucent long saber, the blade flowing with silver mental radiance.

He silently assumed the stance of the third form, the ultimate Profound Truth—Ten Steps, One Kill!

As the saber blade trembled slightly.

In an instant, countless figures appeared in the dark Void Realm—there were Martial Masters from the Western and Southern Military Regions, as well as Vicious Beasts he had encountered in the past.

"Come!"

Su Lei's eyes sharpened, his figure suddenly erupting into motion!

First slash, horizontal cut!

The saber light was like a lunar arc, instantly tearing through three phantoms, blood mist exploding!

Second slash, reverse cut!

The blade whirled, slashing upward from an incredible angle, cutting a lunging Cloud-Splitting Eagle in two!

Third slash, thrust!

The tip of the blade was like a meteor, piercing the throat of a Fourth-Order Martial Master, the force penetrating the body and shattering the three phantoms behind him!

The saber momentum grew faster and faster; Su Lei's figure flickered in the Void Realm, every slash precise, fierce, and without a single wasted movement.

But it was not enough.

If the first and second forms were the foundation.

Then the third form—Ten Steps, One Kill—was the ultimate lethal move that fused the Profound Truth of both, striking to take the enemy's head once unleashed.

He stopped abruptly, the long saber hanging at his side.

The Vibration Method stimulated his Qi and blood, the Meditation Technique focused his mind, Thousand Layer Wave superimposed hidden power, and Treading Wind and Flowing Clouds increased his speed...

At this moment, he attempted to master all his martial arts and fuse them all into this final form.

"Hum—"

The blade trembled, and the air currents in the Void Realm began to twist.

"Slash!"

A single slash unleashed!

The first layer of Saber Qi swept out like a gale!

The second layer followed closely behind, its power doubling!

The third layer, the fourth layer... the saber momentum stacked layer upon layer, finally turning into a monstrous wave that erupted with a roar!

"Boom—!!!"

The entire mental world shook violently, and all the phantoms were annihilated under this slash!

Su Lei retracted his saber and stood, breathing slightly.

The power of this form was already approaching Perfection, but it still lacked the final opportunity—the pressure between life and death.

He slowly opened his eyes; on the medical pod's display screen, only two hours had passed.

The sharpness in Su Lei's eyes was restrained.

Two days later, when he headed to Military Base No. 1 to find Lin Qingcang and went to the Seventh Research Institute, the real show would begin.

If Lin Xiaotian took action personally, that would be a true battle of life and death.

But for now, he needed more preparation.

He entered the consciousness space once more.

The next moment, the two Grandmasters, Zhao Zheng and Pang Hong, and even the experimental subjects PX-1 and PX-3, all turned into phantoms and appeared before him!

"Kill!"

...

"Abnormal brain nerve activity detected, injecting sedative."

The medical pod's indicator lights flashed rhythmically in the dim infirmary.

Lin Xiaoyu remained by the medical pod, monitoring the various data points without leaving a single step.

As she bent over to input parameters on the control panel, a large patch of snow-white skin was revealed at her collar, yet she was completely unaware of how alluring such a posture was.

The next day, Su Lei's body inside the pod suddenly tensed.

The brainwaves on the monitoring screen suddenly oscillated violently.

"Mental fluctuation increased by 30%, thirty-two areas of brain tissue overloaded, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-one brain nerve synapses necrotic."

"Initiating emergency repair mode, injecting bio-electric remodeling gel..."

Lin Xiaoyu leaned down, her soft chest pressing unreservedly against the transparent cover of the pod.

One hand pressed against the internal monitoring sensor to operate it continuously, while the other hand placed a silver metal plate onto Su Lei's temple.

Her movements were mechanical and efficient, yet her pupils were hollow and devoid of spirit, like an exquisite doll that had its Soul extracted.

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

When Su Lei annihilated the final phantom in the mental world, the medical pod in reality suddenly erupted with a shrill sound.

The moment the pod door popped open, a swirl of cold white mist rolled out, and Su Lei's eyes snapped open.

A sharp saber radiance seemed to flash across his pupils.

That was the lingering killing intent.

Looking at the time, exactly 48 hours had passed.

He had deliberately slowed down the flow of time in the mental world.

Two months, two thousand four hundred hours, every second spent swinging his saber.

Ten Steps, One Kill, finally reached Major Achievement.
