112: Chapter 112 Artificial God? Nothing more than a pile of cobbled-together rotten flesh!

Walking into the pitch-black sewage pipe.

The nauseating stench became even stronger.

But strangely, apart from that initial wave of attacks, the path was completely unobstructed, and there wasn't even a patrol.

"Something is wrong; there must be demons afoot."

Su Yang held the seven star dragon abyss sword, its faint golden light illuminating the damp and slippery pipe walls.

"Be careful, the Formation in this place is a bit sinister."

Chu Ling walked at the very front, her purple corpse Qi condensed and unmoving, like a scouting radar.

"There is a large space ahead, and... it smells like a lot of dead people."

The three of them walked another few hundred meters, and their field of vision suddenly opened up.

This place was originally supposed to be a huge underground reservoir.

But now it had been transformed into a laboratory full of cyberpunk style.

Dozens of huge glass cultivation tanks were neatly arranged, filled with green nutrient solution, and each tank contained a naked "human" floating inside.

The reason for the quotation marks was that these people had been implanted with various mechanical parts.

Some had their arms replaced with chainsaws, some had their eyes turned into cameras, and some... even had their heads replaced with the skulls of some kind of beast!

Countless tubes were inserted into their bodies, connecting to complex instruments above, continuously pumping energy into them.

"This... what is this doing?"

Mary looked at the scene before her, which was like Hell, and her stomach churned.

Although she was a Vampire, she only drank blood.

This act of treating people like parts to be pieced together at will was simply perverted!

"This is their plan to create gods."

Su Yang walked to a cultivation tank, looking at the half-human, half-mechanical monster sleeping with its eyes closed inside, his eyes cold.

"Using technology to strengthen the flesh, allowing the body to break through the limits of a Mortal."

"Then using evil arts to imprison the Soul of a fierce ghost, forcibly injecting it into this body to grant it power that transcends reason."

"The so-called God Hunters are actually just a group of... walking corpses that not only lack a Soul but don't even have their own bodies."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Just then, a round of applause suddenly rang out in the empty laboratory.

"Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

"As expected of the person who could wipe out that trash Ghost Granny, Master Su is indeed knowledgeable."

A huge display screen in the center of the hall suddenly lit up.

A man wearing a silver mask and a white coat appeared on the screen.

He sat in a chair that looked very high-tech, shaking a glass of red wine in his hand. Through the screen, the eyes hidden behind the mask were observing Su Yang with great interest.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the chief scientist of the God Hunters organization. You can call me... Doctor."

"Doctor?"

Su Yang sneered and swung his sword.

"Crack!"

The Sword Qi directly severed the infusion tube of the cultivation tank in front of him.

"I think 'madman' is more like it."

"Say what you will."

The Doctor was not angry; instead, he spread his hands.

"Geniuses and madmen are often only a thin line apart."

"Su Yang, I have been observing you for a long time."

"Your power is very special. It is not pure Daoist Magic, nor is it a superpower; it is more like a kind of... existence from a higher dimension."

The Doctor's body leaned forward slightly, his tone becoming fanatical.

"Join us!"

"As long as you hand over your secrets and cooperate with our research, we can make you a... true god!"

"God?"

Su Yang pointed to the monsters soaking in the water around him.

"Just based on these pieces of patched-together rotten flesh?"

"Are you even worthy of talking about gods?"

"Rotten flesh?"

The Doctor's voice turned cold.

"It seems you still don't understand the power of technology."

"Since you are unappreciative, I will let you see with your own eyes... my perfect masterpiece!"

He slammed a red button beside him.

"Awaken! Number Zero!"

Rumble—!

A thick iron door in the deepest part of the laboratory slowly opened.

A suffocating and terrifying Aura surged out from within!

This Aura was actually several times stronger than the previous Ghost Granny!

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Heavy footsteps sounded, each step shaking the ground.

A giant, three meters tall, covered in black alloy armor, walked out.

He had no head; atop his neck was a transparent glass dome, inside which floated a still-beating... bright red heart!

And on his back were six energy rods emitting a ghostly blue light, and he held a two-meter-long alloy giant axe in his hand.

"Roar—!!!"

Although there was no mouth, the beating of that heart turned into a tangible sound wave, making everyone's eardrums ache.

"This is..."

Chu Ling's expression changed.

"That heart in the glass dome... is a heart of a thousand-year-old zombie?!"

"Good eye!"

The Doctor on the screen laughed out loud.

"This is a zombie king heart that I dug out from an Ancient Tomb from the Han Dynasty, combined with the most advanced nano-armor and a nuclear power engine!"

"It possesses the immortal body of a zombie and the infinite power of machinery!"

"It is invincible!"

"Number Zero! Kill him!"

Boom!

The alloy floor beneath Number Zero's feet shattered instantly. Like an out-of-control heavy truck, it swung its giant axe, carrying an earth-shattering Aura, and charged at Su Yang!

"Chu Ling! Mary! Get back!"

Su Yang shouted, advancing instead of retreating.

"Invincible?"

"Today, I will show you what it means... to beat you back into a state of parts!"

"seven star dragon abyss sword! Unsheathe!"

Clang—!

The long sword in Su Yang's hand let out a high-pitched Dragon roar, and the blade erupted with dazzling golden light.

"Mount Shu Sword Technique · Heavenly Sword!"

He transformed into a golden streak of Sword Qi, charging towards the giant axe!

Clang—!!!

The sword and axe collided fiercely in mid-air.

A terrifying shockwave swept out, instantly shattering all the surrounding cultivation tanks!

Countless nutrient solutions and "experimental subjects" spilled all over the ground.

"Break for me!"

Su Yang borrowed the force to turn in mid-air, and the long sword in his hand instantly slashed out eighteen Sword Qi, all of which hit the armor on Number Zero's chest.

Crack!

A crack appeared in the hard alloy armor.

"Now is the time!"

"Yang Five Thunders · Palm Thunder!"

Su Yang slapped his left hand onto the crack.

Zzzzz—!

Violent white thunder plasma drilled into Number Zero's body along the crack, frantically destroying the precise circuits inside.

"Zzz... zzz..."

Number Zero's movements stuttered for a moment, and the energy rods on its back began to smoke.

"So this is the weak point?"

Su Yang sneered, his figure moving like lightning, instantly circling behind Number Zero.

"Pulling your power source!"

Crack! Crack! Crack!

His hands moved like flying, forcefully pulling out all six energy rods!

"No—!!!"

The Doctor on the screen let out a terrified scream.

Losing its energy supply, the massive mechanical giant instantly paralyzed, collapsing to the ground and turning into a pile of scrap metal.

Only the heart in the glass dome was still beating weakly.

"Zombie heart?"

Su Yang slashed open the glass dome and picked out the heart.

"Chu Ling, catch! This is a great tonic!"

"Thank you, boss!"

Chu Ling excitedly caught the heart and swallowed it in one gulp, her corpse Qi surging again.

"Su Yang! You ruined my hard work! I want you to die!!!"

The Doctor roared hysterically on the screen.

"Self-destruct sequence initiated! Let's all die together!"

Beep—beep—beep—

The entire laboratory began to flash with red warning lights, and the countdown jumped on the big screen: 10, 9, 8...

"Trying to blow me up?"

Su Yang glanced at the countdown, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Let's go!"

He grabbed Chu Ling with one hand and Mary with the other.

"Sword Technique · Escape!"

Whoosh!

The three of them turned into a stream of light, rushing out of the underground sewage outlet one second before the explosion.

Rumble—!!!

A muffled roar came from behind, and the entire abandoned factory area collapsed instantly, turning into a huge deep pit.

Su Yang stood on top of a chimney in the distance, looking at the ruins below, and patted the dust off his body.

"Doctor, is it?"

"You lost this round."

"However..."

He took out a USB drive he had just pulled out from his pocket.

"I already know the location of your lair."

"Wash your neck and wait for me."
