27: Chapter 27 Ye Chen's Prison Break and Rampage: A Citywide Arrest Notice Issued Immediately
"Wuu... wuu..."
Ye Chen's face was pressed hard into a puddle of urine, the foul-smelling liquid pouring into his mouth and nose, nearly suffocating him.
Wang Teng's maniacal laughter echoed throughout the dark cell.
This laughter, this humiliation, felt like rusty saws, frantically tearing at Ye Chen's remaining sanity.
Pain.
Agonizing pain.
But amidst this extreme suffering and despair, that trace of Kunlun True Qi within Ye Chen—which had gone dormant due to his shattered Dao Heart—miraculously pulsed!
It was a flash of brilliance that comes when one is pushed to the brink.
"I... I am a Divine Doctor... I am the Child of Destiny!"
"I cannot die at the hands of such an ant!"
In Ye Chen's blood-red eyes, a bestial madness erupted, like that of a beast on the verge of death.
"Boom!"
He bit through his tongue, forcibly burning thirty years of his life force!
A power, violent to the extreme, rushed out from within him like a volcanic eruption!
"What?!"
Wang Teng, who was stomping away with gusto, felt an irresistible force surge from beneath his feet.
He let out an exclamation as he was sent flying, crashing heavily against the iron door.
"You... wasn't your martial arts crippled?!"
Wang Teng, dazed and confused, stared in terror as Ye Chen slowly climbed up from the ground.
At this moment, Ye Chen's face was covered in yellow filth and blood.
His bones emitted a teeth-gritting crackling sound, and a scarlet aura of blood swirled around him, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.
"All of Qin Yuan's dogs must die!"
Ye Chen's voice was terrifyingly hoarse, like an echo from the underworld.
"Whoosh!"
He transformed into a bloody afterimage, appearing instantly before Wang Teng.
Wang Teng was scared out of his wits, just about to draw the electric baton from his waist.
"Snap!"
Ye Chen's hand, like an eagle's claw, clamped tightly around Wang Teng's throat and twisted with force.
A crisp sound of bone breaking rang out.
Wang Teng's maniacal laughter and terror were frozen forever on that twisted face.
He didn't even have time to scream before his neck went limp and hung down.
Ye Chen tossed Wang Teng's corpse aside like trash.
With scarlet eyes, he slammed a punch into the iron cell door made of refined steel!
"Bang!"
The violent power gained by burning his life force smashed a huge dent into the heavy iron door.
Another punch!
The iron door collapsed with a roar!
A shrill alarm instantly rang throughout the entire high-security prison.
"An inmate is escaping! Fire! Fire!"
In the hallway, a large number of fully armed prison guards swarmed over.
But facing an Innate Realm martial artist burning his life force, ordinary bullets could not keep up with his ghostly speed.
Ye Chen moved as if in an empty land, braving the hail of bullets, and forcibly carved a bloody path through the carnage!
He leaped onto the three-meter-high high-voltage electric fence, pushed off it with force.
"Boom!"
The wall collapsed, and Ye Chen, dragging his bullet-riddled, blood-stained body, frantically escaped into the pitch-black night outside the prison.
"Qin Yuan... wash your neck clean and wait for me!"
...
Meanwhile.
At Half-Mountain Manor, in the top-floor bedroom, Qin Yuan was lying on a soft bed, enjoying Lin Waner's gentle massage.
Suddenly, the system's sharp alarm blared in his mind.
[Ding! Warning! Child of Destiny Ye Chen has triggered the "Desperate Burst" hidden mechanism!]
[Ye Chen has burned his life force, broken through physical limits, and successfully escaped from prison!]
Qin Yuan opened his eyes slightly, a flicker of surprise flashing in his deep pupils, but it was quickly replaced by a cold sneer.
"This cockroach really has a tough life."
He sat up and casually draped a silk robe over himself.
"Young Master Qin, what's wrong?" Lin Waner asked timidly, like a startled little deer.
"It's nothing, just a rat that ran away."
Qin Yuan patted her cheek and got up, heading toward the study.
Prison break?
And he still wants to come for revenge?
Does he really think this is a martial arts drama, where running into the wilderness allows for a comeback?
This is the modern society of the 21st century!
Qin Yuan sat in the large executive chair in his study and dialed the private number of Director Zhou, the head of the Jiangzhong City Police Department.
At the same time, he thought silently, "System, consume 10,000 favor points to summon the commander of the Jiangzhong Military Sub-district as well."
[Ding! Advanced favor exchange successful, communication connected!]
On the other end of the line, the voices of Director Zhou and the military commander rang out simultaneously, carrying a hint of panic from being woken up in the middle of the night.
"Young Master Qin? It's so late, what happened?"
Qin Yuan's tone was cold, without a hint of warmth.
"At the high-security prison, an inmate named Ye Chen has escaped."
"Not only did he kill a guard, but he also injured over a dozen prison guards, and he may be armed with lethal weapons."
"Director Zhou, this is no longer a simple prison break; this is a premeditated terrorist attack."
Director Zhou on the other end gasped.
Escaping and killing police? This was a massive case that had poked a hornet's nest!
Especially since this heaven-reaching Young Master Qin had personally called to supervise the case.
"I understand, Young Master Qin! I will immediately sound the city's highest-level Grade 1 Red Alert!"
"All SWAT teams and armed police squads, get on the streets fully armed and loaded!"
"Set up blockades at all major intersections, highway exits, ports, and docks! Don't let a single fly escape Jiangzhong City!"
The military commander also immediately stated his position.
"Rest assured, Young Master Qin, I will dispatch two WZ-10 attack helicopters to assist the police in a carpet-style aerial search!"
Hanging up the phone, Qin Yuan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the sleeping city.
"Divine Doctor Ye, welcome to true hell mode."
...
Two o'clock in the morning.
The once silent night sky of Jiangzhong City was suddenly torn apart by shrill air-raid sirens!
"Wuu—wuu—wuu—!"
The sirens echoed through the sky, waking countless citizens from their sleep.
Immediately after, blinding red and blue police lights flashed wildly like long dragons along the city's main roads.
Thousands of SWAT and armed police, carrying submachine guns and leading police dogs, launched a carpet-style search of every abandoned factory and unfinished building in the suburbs.
In the sky, the "rumbling" sound of propellers was deafening.
Two military attack helicopters circled in the night sky.
Several thick, intense searchlight beams, like interlaced giant swords, swept back and forth over the city, illuminating every dark corner as bright as day.
This was the absolute crushing power of the modern state apparatus!
At this moment, Ye Chen, having just escaped to an abandoned quarry in the suburbs, looked at this overwhelming net cast over him.
Clutching his constantly bleeding wounds, he was completely stunned.
He had originally thought that escaping prison meant the sky was the limit for a bird to fly.
But when he looked up, what greeted him was the armed blockade of the entire Jiangzhong City!
The searchlight beams swept over his head several times, narrowly missing him.
The pitch-black barrels of the heavy machine guns on the helicopters radiated the chill of death.
"This... how is this possible..."
Ye Chen's lips trembled, and the madness in his eyes was finally replaced by a deep, powerless despair.
Before the heaven-reaching power of the Qin Family, the violent power he had gained by burning his life force seemed like nothing more than a laughable clown.
He had completely become a trapped rat with no wings to fly.
