Capítulo 1523: Chapter 1524: No Mercy
Lin Yifan searched for equipment, medicinal waste, research materials that hadn’t been destroyed or were not completely destroyed, to see if there were any ingredients for the “Great Dao Ascension Pill” present.
Upon inspection, he indeed found several medicinal herbs used in the refinement of the “Great Dao Ascension Pill”. However, this didn’t necessarily mean that the Night Gui Xiang auction was refining the “Great Dao Ascension Pill”.
He continued searching and discovered that all the Illusory Lotus Herbs had been destroyed without leaving a trace, indicating that the Night Gui Xiang auction was indeed very fearful of inviting death because of this.
No wonder the old man Lei Zhen dared to assert they were refining the “Great Dao Ascension Pill”; turns out he was well-prepared.
But, as the heavens work mysteriously and leave no loose ends, he couldn’t believe that the Night Gui Xiang auction could completely destroy all evidence in such a short time, so he continued to search.
The relentless effort eventually paid off when he found a scrap of an alchemy formula that hadn’t been completely burned in a metal garbage bin.
This incomplete alchemy formula listed two medicinal herbs, one of which was “Illusory Lotus Herb”, though it was missing the “Herb” character.
Even so, it was enough to serve as evidence, as the “Great Dao Ascension Pill” didn’t require any herb with the characters “Illusory Lotus” in it.
Holding the piece of scrap paper, Lin Yifan amusingly asked, “Boss Lei, may I ask what this is?”
Lei Zhen was greatly shocked, not expecting this alchemy formula to not have been completely burned; it was careless indeed.
He glanced at his younger son, Lei Chong, with eyes full of anger.
This was because it was part of Lei Chong’s responsibility, which was now incomplete, and it was all on him.
However, after a careful look, he realized there was still room to maneuver, so he justified, “This is a draft formula for refining the Great Dao Ascension Pill, what’s wrong with it?”
“Since you’ve acknowledged it, what more is there to say?” Lin Yifan questioned.
“There’s nothing more to say; I’m just refining the Great Dao Ascension Pill!” Lei Zhen continued to justify.
“Even now you want to argue? Haven’t you seen what it says? Illusory Lotus Herb, this kind of medicinal herb shouldn’t appear in the Great Dao Ascension Pill at all.”
“Master Lin, I just said, it’s just an alchemy manuscript, we don’t even know the formula for the Great Dao Ascension Pill. We can only experiment one pill at a time. Furthermore, it says Illusory Lotus, not Illusory Lotus Herb, Master Lin, why get so angry?”
“Even if it only says Illusory Lotus, it’s enough to prove you’re lying.”
“Why?”
“Because the Great Dao Ascension Pill doesn’t require any herb with the words Illusory Lotus in it.”
“Master Lin, as I said earlier, we don’t know the formula for the Great Dao Ascension Pill. We can only experiment one pill at a time, so a herb with the words Illusory Lotus is quite normal.” Lei Zhen rebutted.
“In that case, you can shirk all your crimes! You can evade all responsibility!”
“I don’t know what crime I should bear; we are purely researching how to refine the Great Dao Ascension Pill.” Lei Zhen appeared very innocent, observing how Lin Yifan would respond.
“Alright! Very good! In that case, I won’t waste words with you.”
With that said, Lin Yifan directly wielded his cultivation power, mercilessly cutting off one of Lei Zhen’s arms.
“Ah!!!”
Lei Zhen screamed in agony, his entire face contorted, clearly suffering.
He had no time to react; this was the terror of a True Master Five Realm Peak powerhouse. Even though he too had reached the True Master Realm, he was still no match.
Witnessing this scene, Lei Ming couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted angrily, “You’re intentionally hurting people!”
“To deal with extraordinary people, you must use extraordinary means. Didn’t your father teach you that?” Lin Yifan retorted with a cold smile.
He actually didn’t need to spend time here, but he couldn’t escape the inner guilt, so he spent a bit of time here searching for evidence.
Now that the evidence is solid, the opposing party wants to deny it. How could he let them go?
“You… I’ll kill you!”
Lei Ming went mad; Lin Yifan not only flirted with his woman, treated his woman roughly, but now openly cut off his father’s arm. Such blatant provocation of their Lei Family, and their Night Gui Xiang auction’s actions, he truly couldn’t swallow it.
However, just as he was about to make a move, he was stopped by the pained Lei Zhen’s cry, “Ming’er! Don’t act impulsively!”
“Father! You’re already hurt like this, how can you still tolerate him?” Lei Ming didn’t understand, wondering where his once bloodthirsty father had gone.
“Makes sense; to endure me despite this, is it that my punishment is insufficient, or have you had a change of heart and wish to confess?” Lin Yifan asked.
“I won’t confess, even if you kill me, I won’t confess; I just don’t want my son to fall into your hands, that’s all!” Lei Zhen answered.
“Good! Very good! Do you think I will fall for that? Let me tell you, I’ve seen plenty of sly villains like you, so don’t expect my mercy!”
With that said, Lin Yifan again severed another of Lei Zhen’s arms, leaving him crippled.
“Ah!!!”
Lei Zhen cried out again, painfully.
He underestimated Lin Yifan’s ruthless nature. The other party wasn’t a judge who would let him go because of “insufficient evidence,” so he suddenly felt his actions somewhat ridiculous.
He shouldn’t just sit and wait; he should rise up and resist, fight Lin Yifan to the death.
“You bastard! I’ll kill you!”
“Ming’er!”
Lei Zhen endured the pain, shouting hoarsely, yet unable to persuade his son, Lei Ming, who was blinded by anger.
He would rather charge forward himself than let his son attack recklessly, knowing his son would be no match and possibly face life-threatening danger.
For such an overestimated attack, Lin Yifan would typically respond with one word: “Scram!”
Immediately, Lei Ming flew backward, crashing into a wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, gravely wounded.
Witnessing this, Zhong Hongyan suddenly realized the importance of strength.
Staying beside Lei Ming was too unsafe; from the start, she might’ve been wrong not taking down Lin Yifan, making Lin Yifan accountable to her for life.
Now, she only wanted to remain an outsider, accepting things as they came.
Seeing Zhong Hongyan distancing from Lin Yifan, Lei Zhen realized that having Zhong Hongyan assassinate Lin Yifan was now impossible.
Zhong Hongyan was a scheming woman, knowing how to adapt to times. Once she realized their unreliability, she would switch allegiance, seeking support from others. Pity his eldest son, who was utterly enchanted by her, the mere thought seemed ridiculous.
Seeing others are unreliable, he decided to rely on himself, ordering the entire base’s cultivators to kill Lin Yifan, “Kill him!”
Under his command, the soldiers in the laboratory first launched an attack, risking their lives to assault Lin Yifan.
