These people had weak vital signs, with tubes inserted all over them. Blood flowed through the tubes, slowly being transported away. They seemed just like the corpses of venomous creatures steeped in medicinal wine.

"What is this?"

The bearded man clenched his fists, enraged. "Human experimentation...? The Guiran people are heartless!"

All of them were human beings. Seeing people treated like laboratory rats inevitably gave rise to a feeling of shared doom.

Qi Yuan regretfully stared at those immersed in the tanks. "Their vitality is completely gone... Medicine cannot save them."

These people had perished long ago.

A murderous gleam flashed in Qi Yuan’s eyes. "The Guiran truly deserve to die. This isn’t just illegal or corrupting the social climate, but plain inhuman! These people must be chaotic evil!"

As a lawful good, what he hated most was chaotic evil. Locking civilians beneath a military camp for human experimentation was something he found utterly abhorrent. He gazed ahead and swung his long sword once more.

Crack.

All the tubes snapped in response. Finally, those people were no longer being drained of their bodily fluids. Even so, they gave no reaction at all.

The bearded man said angrily, "I must record this scene! Do you have a phone? I'm going to expose this and reveal the crimes of those Guiran people!"

Kuang Huan also felt deeply uncomfortable. Killing people did not place much psychological burden on him, but using civilians for experiments was something he could never do.

The viscount gritted his teeth. "This is simply inhuman!"

These civilians represented countless families. There were even teenagers among them. They were so young, yet they were captured and brought here.

Narrowing his eyes, Qi Yuan said softly, "Come out."

The bearded man and Kuang Huan immediately became alert. Naturally, they assumed that someone was still hiding here.

"ROAR!"

A massive roar suddenly rang out. The ground began trembling. A terrifying giant beast, larger than an elephant, burst forth with a roar. Its bloodstained body, grotesque beyond compare, was covered with rubber tubes. Like a beast of war, it lunged at the three with a roar.

The bearded man's face filled with terror. "A-a monster!"

The colossal monster was terrifying beyond words! One had the feeling that with a single charge, it could send tanks and armored vehicles flying. How were they supposed to withstand it?! The monster had to be the product of Guiran human experimentation!

Yet Qi Yuan remained perfectly calm. He burst into laughter the moment he saw the label on the monster, placing both hands on his hips. "They dare call it a god?"

On the label of the monster were the words, God Creation Project — Giant Strength God No. 1.

Qi Yuan chuckled, his sword vibrating once again. "A god, but no bones of its own, and only metal?"

A blood-red light flashed. The humongous creature, weighing over a hundred tons, suddenly stiffened, froze in midair. In the next moment, it split into pieces, turning into a massive pool of blood and flesh. Its metal skeleton crashed to the ground, scattering everywhere in a gruesome manner.

The bearded man gasped heavily. The way he looked at Qi Yuan changed completely.

Kuang Huan's eyes burned with excitement, and he could not help but ask, "Mr. Qi, could I also slay such a giant beast with ease someday?"

Qi Yuan's effortless slaying of the beast filled him with yearning. Is this the power of a cultivator? With such strength, could one send a tank flying in a single strike?

Qi Yuan clapped his hands. "Naturally. This isn't difficult at all."

His sword trembled once again, a blood-red bead forming upon the blade.

Qi Yuan's eyes immediately perceived a great deal of information. The bead was the beast’s power core, originating from those civilians. Together with certain special techniques, the Guiran had used civilian blood to create this so-called god.

Truth be told, to ordinary people and even to gene soldiers, such a terrifying beast indeed qualified as a god. In terms of raw physical strength alone, it was already on par with an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Ordinary artillery shells simply could not harm it.

"If I consume this blood, my martial arts talent would improve by a huge margin." All kinds of emotions surfaced in Qi Yuan’s eyes. "Well, my martial arts talent is already very strong. Why would I need this?"

Besides, why would he drink human blood? What if it carried a virus? Moreover, what this blood increased was merely a certain fixed bloodline. What he wanted was to forge his own martial path, where he stood foremost. Otherwise, wouldn't that mean there had to be some ancestor above his head?

He looked at the corpses, his sword vibrating. "Rest in peace."

The glass containers exploded with a loud crash. The entire steel structure collapsed in that instant. Everything was buried beneath the ruins.

Qi Yuan grabbed Kuang Huan and the bearded man, appearing above ground in a flash.

This move thoroughly stunned the bearded man. He looked at Qi Yuan as if he were a god, his mind in utter chaos. However, the surprises weren’t over yet. To his utter bewilderment, the military base had been reduced to ruins.

The steel buildings had collapsed. Heavy tanks and armored vehicles were shattered. Soldiers' corpses lay everywhere. The place had become a land of death.

Kuang Huan was also stupefied. He finally understood that Qi Yuan had single-handedly wiped out the whole camp before coming to his rescue.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuan felt that he was especially cold-blooded today. "Alright, we should head back now. I'm still in a hurry to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. I will come back and deal with the Guiran once I'm done with what I need to do. Someone as lawfully good as me can’t tolerate the existence of chaotic evil!”

He had a good understanding of himself. A kind-hearted person like him, if placed in a television drama, would be the classic bleeding-heart saint. To be precise, he’d probably be the saintly gentleman whom audiences usually disliked. But Qi Yuan did not care.

Kuang Huan nodded. Of course, if he knew what Qi Yuan was actually thinking, he definitely would not have nodded. You killed three thousand people in one strike and still dare call yourself a saint?

The bearded man was still stunned. "Are you also participating in the martial arts tournament, Mr. Qi?”

Some of the younger members of his family were also participating in the tournament. He found it absurd that someone as overpowered as Qi Yuan would participate as well.

Qi Yuan said softly, "Yeah. Do you know any of the participants? How strong are they? Are there any opponents worth being wary of? My goal is to win the championship. I wonder if that'll be difficult..."

Recalling how Qi Yuan had effortlessly split apart the terrifying beast, the bearded man showed a complicated smile. "It probably won't be difficult."
