Lin Xiao let out a scoff, as if he had heard a joke. "It seems you two won't be able to complete either mission."
*Snap.*
The original Luis, who had been feigning a severe beating from Lin Xiao, instantly broke free from his handcuffs, appearing as if nothing had happened.
The bald man's physique seemed to grow even more imposing, his skin taking on a greenish hue.
The three of them, all originally over 1.8 meters tall, now exceeded two meters. Their arms alone were thicker than many people's legs.
The sight was genuinely terrifying.
Observing the trio, Lin Xiao crossed his arms. "I can see you have your nation's unique aesthetic."
"Dragon King, I know you are ranked first on the Earthly Ranking, a rare powerhouse in this world. However, today, sacrificing our three lives to take yours will be enough." Qiao had no intention of leaving. Even if it meant death, as long as Lin Xiao perished, their "Beautiful Nation" would be victorious. The North Border Dragon King, one of Long Country's primary sources of global influence in recent years.
"Mmm-hmm."
Lin Xiao nodded and signaled for the medical physician to step back. "You should stand back, I don't want you to get hurt."
These three individuals, clearly modified by biochemical means, possessed a physical resilience far beyond ordinary Grandmasters. Their regenerative capabilities alone surpassed human comprehension. The swollen muscles likely provided significant shock absorption, allowing them to recover if a typical Earthly Ranking Grandmaster failed to deliver a killing blow. However, for him, none of it mattered.
"This is Long Country, after all..."
Lin Xiao shook his head, sighing.
"So what? Our bodies are virtually impenetrable to bullets. The people outside pose no threat to us... Besides, the virus is not just that small thing." Qiao's face held a triumphant smile as he spoke, though one hand instinctively covered his head, where veins bulged.
"It appears your modification's side effect causes you intense pain, doesn't it? Or perhaps not. Your pain receptors should have been severed." Lin Xiao analyzed as if examining ordinary experimental data, nodding as he spoke. "If that's the case, it's quite simple to explain... Oh, regarding the virus, you don't need to worry. We received news as soon as we entered..."
He reached into his pocket and produced a small plastic bottle. "It was meant to be contained in here, wasn't it? Rest assured, our staff recovered it when you attempted to deploy it. Furthermore, lest you be unaware... well, with you wearing a mask, the infection rate of this virus is extremely low. And, immediately, the dozen or so people around you were taken for nucleic acid testing and observation."
"Spreading this virus will be rather difficult."
Lin Xiao said this as he tossed the small bottle towards the three. The virus within had, of course, been neutralized long ago.
The next instant, Lin Xiao's form split into three, appearing as streaks of light within the containment room.
Moments later, the bodies of the three men disintegrated into countless pieces of flesh, scattering across the floor.
Rebirth? Try the next lifetime.
