Chapter 145: Deeper Genetic Modification On Humans

“F*ck, what kind of dark technology is on that guy? We can’t break it with guns.” The people of the Leslie family shouted.

“If the bullets don’t work, then use the cannons.”

With that, a few people walked out of the hall with shoulder-bearing rocket launchers.

They aimed them at Wang Jiajun.

After locking onto the target, they immediately pressed the trigger.

With a few loud bangs, the surrounding air shook violently.

Several rocket shells shot swiftly towards Wang Jiajun like fire dragons.

Wang Jiajun remained calm in the face of lethal cannonballs.

He believed in the defensive barrier.

In the blink of an eye, several rocket shells appeared in front of him and struck the surface of the defensive barrier, causing an explosion.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and the ground shook.

Wang Jiajun saw the defensive barrier vibrating at a high frequency as if it was about to break.

He seemed calm, but he was nervous on the inside. He was afraid that the barrier would shatter.

But he didn’t have to worry about this at all.

Qin Chuan was at the Golden Core stage of cultivation. As long Wang Jiajun was not attacked by a nuclear weapon, other powerful attacks would be useless against it.

The guards cheered after the explosion, thinking they had bested Wang Jiajun.

At this moment, Lena and the others arrived at the hall downstairs.

“Miss Lena!”

The group of people immediately stopped smiling and became exceptionally respectful.

Lena glanced calmly ahead. “Has he been taken care of?”

Someone immediately said, “Yes, he has been blasted into a pile of scraps.”

“Anyone who goes against the Leslie clan won’t make it out alive,” someone added.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly rushed out from the thick smoke ahead.

“Protect Miss!”

Upon seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed drastically, and they quickly stepped forward to protect Lena.

Lena’s expression changed.

At this moment, True Qi lingered around Wang Jiajun. The cells in his body had been strengthened by the True Qi many times over. His movements were so fast that he was invisible to the naked eye.

There were only afterimages were left of him.

Since they could not catch him, the Leslie family members in front of the door had to fire indiscriminately.

They knew very well that ordinary guns and shells were useless against Wang Jiajun, but they didn’t have a better option.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Jiajun appeared out of thin air in front of them.

His eyes were burning like an angry lion, and this group of people was like helpless lambs.

Wang Jiajun extended his devil claws towards them.

Ka ka ka!

Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, the guards in front of the hotel entrance collapsed one after another like dominoes.

In less than ten seconds, dozens of people collapsed to the ground.

Wang Jiajun stopped attacking and locked his gaze on Lena.

“These people are under your command, aren’t they?!”

“I’ll give you a piece of advice. Leave Beichuan. You’re not welcome here.”

Lena only chuckled. “Don’t tell me you really think you can take us down?”

Wang Jiajun said solemnly, “I can try!”

Lena laughed out loud before her face suddenly turned cold. Her expression turned malevolent, making one feel a chill.

“Are you threatening me?”

“You should think I am.” Wang Jiajun shrugged and said casually.

“Good, very good! You’re quite confident, but you do not have the backup to be this confident.

“Don’t think that you can go against us just with this level of skill. You’re still too inexperienced.”

With that, Lena clapped her palms twice.

“Lybert, Hall!”

Her two personal bodyguards pull off their windbreakers and caps.

At this moment, he finally saw their true appearance.

The lean bodyguard was called Lybert.

Apart from his ridiculous height, his skin was also covered with long orange hair.

His hair covered his entire body, including his face.

His facial features were very different from ordinary people.

First of all, his eyes were round and amber-like a cat’s eyes. They looked very beautiful.

His nose was also very similar to that of a feline, with stiff black whiskers growing on both sides of his nostrils.

His mouth was so wide that it almost reached her ears. It looked very frightening.

His long ears were similar to those of felines.

The other muscular bodyguard was called Hall.

He looked slightly better than Lybert’s, but he was still far from normal.

For example, his skin color. An ordinary person’s skin would either be black, yellow, or white.

However, Hall’s skin was a dark gray, like cement.

At the same time, there were many creases on his skin, layer upon layer. From afar, it looked like he was wearing armor.

Then, his eyes. They were super small and incompatible with his huge body.

His nose was flat, and his nostrils were huge. He looked very strange.

His ears were shaped like horns, and they looked comedic.

The most special thing about Hall was that there was a horn that looked like a rhinoceros’s horn in the center of his forehead. It was very sharp.

These two were not normal humans.

It was Wang Jiajun’s first time seeing such strange people, and he was surprised.

Based on their characteristics, he suspected that they were the product of a combination of humans and animals.

However, such thinking was too anti-humanist.

The only feasible explanation was genetic modification.

Wang Jiajun had some knowledge about genetic modification, but it wasn’t about human modification.

This was because genetic modification had been prohibited 50 years ago. Research and experimentation were not allowed.

The original creation of the genetic modification technique was to solve humankind’s problems with food.

For example, if rice was genetically modified, the yield would be several times higher than that of normal rice.

With this technology, many countries’ food security problems were solved.

However, as technology developed, genetic modification technology was not limited to just plants. Instead, it shifted to animals.

Scientists use genetic modification techniques to make modifications to animals.

As this technology matured, the scientists had a bold idea.

Naturally, this human modification was inhumane—the whole world objected to it.

The world issued laws and orders to prohibit research in this aspect.

However, due to their interests and benefits, certain organizations or countries conducted this research secretly.

After so many years, no one knew the level that such technology had reached.

But no matter what, people who had undergone genetic modification were no longer considered normal humans. They could even be classified as wild beasts.

Lybert and Hall slowly walked towards Wang Jiajun.

This time, Wang Jiajun’s expression became particularly grave.

This was because of his Aura Examination Technique. He saw these two people’s auras were very strong, even slightly stronger than his own.

However, the size of one’s aura was only a reference to one’s combat ability. It was not an absolute measurement.

Wang Jiajun had confidence in himself. If he was afraid before the fight even started, he would definitely lose.

… Meanwhile, in the bamboo forest…

Although Qin Chuan could sense that the restriction on Wang Jiajun’s body had been triggered, he couldn’t care less.

This was because he was currently attempting to break through to the second class of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Technique.

All the staff in the hotel started to be on guard. They returned to their respective posts, and in the blink of an eye, this hotel had become a heavily guarded fortress.

Lena, who was at a higher level of the castle, walked out of the bathtub. Due to the sudden incident, she just casually draped a bathrobe over herself.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, but she still remained calm and unhurried. All of her arrogance stemmed from her confidence in her strength. She was the queen of the nest.

In the main hall of the room, the two tall bodyguards stood guard on both sides of the door like door gods.

A lazy black cat sat on the head of one of the bodyguards.

When they saw Lena walk out, they immediately bowed and came to her side. The black cat then jumped into her arms.

Lena gently stroked the black cat’s back, but her expression was extremely cold. Her beautiful eyes were like an abyss, devouring everything in sight. There seemed to be a hungry beast hiding in her sexy body.

When she pushed open the door, she saw dozens of armed men standing on both sides of the corridor.

At that moment, gunshots came from downstairs. They were like raindrops, crackling non-stop.

Lena glanced sideways at the window, then waved her finger in front of her. Everyone rushed downstairs after receiving the order.

At this moment…

In front of the hotel entrance, some people were holding machine guns while others were holding rifles. There were also dozens of snipers on high ground, waiting for an opportunity to shoot. All their guns were aimed at Wang Jiajun, who was in the middle of the square.

In the face of such high-density firepower, Wang Jiajun wasn’t afraid at all and didn’t intend to dodge.

He knew that it was impossible to dodge such a dense barrage of bullets.

Along with the sound of gunshots, densely packed bullets flew towards him.

But just as the bullets were about to reach his body, something strange happened.

A faint yellow light barrier suddenly appeared around Wang Jiajun, enveloping him within.

When the bullets hit the light barrier, it was as if they had fallen into the water. Ripples formed, and they turned into smoke.

The reason why Wang Jiajun dared to come alone was because of this light barrier.

This light barrier was a small defensive barrier.

Qin Chuan set up some restrictions on everyone who was cultivating in the sect, and it included such a defensive barrier.

Qin Chuan had done so just in case.

Although everyone had become stronger through cultivating, the power of science could not be underestimated. He had always believed in the famous saying, “If a person is killed, he will die.”

So, no matter what, safety first.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

The gunfire continued.

However, in the face of the defensive barrier, this bit of physical damage was obviously not enough.

At that moment, a few people walked out of the hall with shoulder-mounted rocket launchers and aimed them at Wang Jiajun.
