"Because my child and my lover are among them, because of you, I had to swallow them both into my body. You have no idea how much pain they suffered when I was refining them alive."
Their blood writhed within him, their bones grew within him, and their minds were with him day and night; this strength was their help.
But he was in so much pain, so much pain, because he didn't want to kill them at all. He loved them, so the people in front of him had to pay the price.
“If you didn’t want them to die, you should have died in the tomb long ago. Now you’re blaming me.”
"It doesn't matter anymore. You can't escape today. Although I can't fight against a martial arts master like before, killing you is as easy as turning my hand!"
The three people behind him simultaneously lifted their cloaks, revealing numb bodies that were filled with modification and alienation, and they all moved towards Zhang Erhe.
"Yes, I can't beat you, but you don't understand, I'm not actually alone."
"The path of blood is not lonely; its poison will endure for millennia!"
"Blood wings fill the sky, all living beings are born and die!"
A crimson mist rose from nowhere, and a long-planned hunt was about to begin. At this moment, countless blood-red crows took flight in Niugang Village.
Tonight, I'm destined to stay awake!
The constable, who was rushing back to the city overnight, encountered a strange thing in Cheli Town, a neighboring town of Sanniu Town. He saw that people were suddenly running out of the curfew.
"Sir! Officer! Official! Save me! Save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
A sweet-looking girl suddenly ran out and knelt in front of his horse, kowtowing and begging for her life. If it weren't for Wang Yang's excellent horsemanship, she would probably have been trampled to death under his feet.
Who are you? What brings you here?
Wang Yangzhi looked at the girl in front of him, frowned, but still patiently asked.
"I am Li Sanniang from Xiahegu Village, Cheli Town. I am here today to save my life, sir. There is a ruthless man-eater in town right now! Please, sir, give me a way out! I will repay you with my life!"
After saying that, he started kowtowing repeatedly. This aroused Wang Yangzhi's suspicion. Was he a ruthless manipulator? Wang Yangzhi, who had just returned from Niugang Village, became wary.
"Whom are you suing?"
Before Li San Niang could reply, she saw a martial artist and two servants coming down the street. The clothes worn by the martial artist proved his identity.
"Good evening, Constable. I'm sorry to have made you laugh. The maid in my house is unruly and couldn't stand serving her master, so she ran away."
Li San Niang looked at Wang Yangzhi expectantly, hoping that this constable could protect her, but after a moment of hesitation, Wang Yangzhi bowed and replied.
"Since that's the case, then I won't disturb your punishment of the servants."
"It is fate that we met. Since this maid has offended you, how about I host a dinner to apologize?"
"No, I have urgent business to attend to. Let's do it another time!"
After saying that, Wang Yangzhi spurred his horse and galloped off again, and Li Sanniang's original expectations turned into complete despair at this moment.
Then, she resolutely pulled out the hairpin stuck in her hair, preparing to commit suicide, but was knocked unconscious by a quick-thinking martial artist.
"Take him back. Don't keep the young master waiting. And make sure this doesn't happen again!"
"yes!"
The servants led Li Sanniang back to a courtyard on the outskirts of town, which was a lodging place for a young master of the Niu family.
Even so, the manor was exceptionally grand and large, resembling the home of a landlord. The servants escorted the person to the courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, a beautiful woman led the person inside.
"Black tiles and white walls, sandalwood carved windows, autumn leaves withered and fallen to the ground, the courtyard desolate and forlorn, where can one find a sound? Candlelight flickers amidst the white bones of Mangshan."
After a while, a clear, cold melody suddenly rang out, its tone even more desolate than the autumn air.
A white skeleton, its entire body gleaming with the translucent color of blood jade, stretched out of the window, but was immediately pulled back by a hand covered in blood.
"Good girl, you'll be able to leave soon. After a few more days of training, you'll be considered a beauty."
