Chapter 243 The smell of blood
How can there be such bright eyes in this world?
However, before he could finish his thought, an even brighter light shone in his eyes.

And this was the last glimmer of light he saw.

A longsword appeared out of nowhere and was drawn from its sheath in mid-air. Its blade was as sharp as the clouds in the sky. With just a light flash, it plucked off a head.

It was only at this point that the other three realized what was happening.

Their faces showed anger, sadness, and fear—

however.

Those who made the move ignored them completely.

The man simply smiled calmly and, as if dancing, casually turned the sword back.

And in the next moment.

It covered a distance of three or four meters and pointed directly at the red-haired man's head!
How can this sword be so fast?

In an instant, this was the only thought in Red Hair's mind.

But as expected of the leader of the three, unlike the green-haired guy who was killed instantly, he was able to respond to the extremely fast sword strike. He opened his mouth wide and, with lightning speed, flicked out a sticky, gelatinous tongue that whistled through the air and swept towards someone at the speed of light.

But the figure neither dodged nor avoided, and came straight at them!

idiot!

Red Hair secretly rejoiced.

His tongue is a blessing from within his body; it is not only as hard as steel, but also extremely corrosive, turning flesh and bones to ash the moment it touches them.

—And now, this idiot is actually running right into it!
Otherwise.

Just as Red Hair could see the man about to scream and writhe on the ground, a thin mist suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The mist, like a light veil, swirled around me, and under the moonlight, it revealed a blood-like color.

then.

Red Hair watched as his prized tongue gradually turned into dust in the mist, then seemed to be swallowed up and merged into the mist.

Then, he too was enveloped by the red mist.

The next moment, a sharp howl rang out—but soon, silence fell.

Everything happened so fast that by this time, the dagger in the third person's hand had already reached him.

However, the electrician didn't even glance at it and directly uttered a single syllable.

"Om!"

The dagger seemed to freeze in mid-air, suddenly stopping.

The electrician raised his foot and kicked the man three meters away, then looked at the other person.

Who would have thought.

The last one was also decisive. Seeing that the situation was not good, he ignored his teammates and jumped into the bushes in a few leaps.

But the electrician didn't chase after him. He just shook his head and then beckoned, pulling out a giant bow that was more than half his length from thin air.

He didn't nock an arrow, but simply drew back the bowstring skillfully.

The crescent moon in the sky seemed to tilt down, its shimmering light seeping into the bow and becoming a silver arrow.

Then, it was fired.

Like moonlight, it swept across everything, trees, walls, and nothing else stood in its way. The arrow formed from the moonlight was invisible and intangible, piercing through everything and directly piercing the heart of the fleeing man.

Finally, brilliance suddenly erupted.

—The escapee's chest exploded into a pile of mud in an instant!
Only then did the electrician lower the giant bow and let out a soft breath. —Without a doubt, this man was Zhou You.

And this is exactly the plan that Han Ruiming mentioned.

It may sound complicated, but it all boils down to just five words.

— It's just 'pretending to be weak to catch a tiger'.

He was merely sent around as harmless bait to lure these guys into a trap, and then deal with them all before they could spread the word.

In reality, Zhou You didn't really want to kill anyone, since reality is different from the script, and getting involved in murder always leads to all sorts of trouble.

But the problem is...
These people have started eating people. If we don't kill them, are we just going to keep them alive for the New Year?

The last thug, still retching from the blow to the abdomen, saw Zhou You dragging Duan Xie closer and closer, so he ignored his churning stomach and hurriedly retreated on all fours.

When there was nowhere left to retreat, the man suddenly knelt on the ground and began to kowtow vigorously.

"Brother, brother, spare my life! I was truly blind to your greatness. Please forgive me, I was wrong. I shouldn't have harbored ill intentions towards you. Please, just let me go."

Seeing this scene, Zhou You felt rather bored.

These guys are just like the wolf demon he encountered when he was born. They're happy to kill people, but when it's their turn to be killed, they show their ugly side.

Do you know you're wrong? You know you're going to die.

—I'm not trying to criticize you, but as villains, can't you learn from the Venerable Master Puhui?
Zhou You raised his arm, intending to finish off the guy, but a wrinkled hand suddenly reached out from the side and stopped him.

Without any surprise, Zhou You merely glanced at Han Ruiming, who had appeared beside him at some point, and sighed softly.

"Hey old man, I've been doing all the dirty and hard work by myself, and we're almost done finishing up. What are you doing showing up here all of a sudden?"

However, the other party still maintained that extremely indifferent expression.

"Someone has to stay behind to lead the way, since I've never been inside this house before and don't know where the things are hidden."

Upon hearing that he had a chance to survive, the thug kowtowed repeatedly.

"Grandpa, my dear grandpa, just tell me what you're looking for. I know this place very well, I'm sure I know—"

Han Ruiming didn't even bother to acknowledge him. He simply took out a talisman and stuffed it into the man's mouth, ignoring the man's suddenly wide-eyed pain, and said to Zhou You.

"The cult leader and Xu Xin are busy with the gathering and sacrificial ceremony, so they won't be back for the next few days. The only people who can warn them are the security company and these thugs. The security company is now ours, and the surveillance footage was deliberately faked. As for where to put these guys' bodies, I'll dispose of them by tomorrow morning."

He wasn't a former police captain; he spoke frankly and openly.

Zhou You extended his hand and gestured to Han Ruiming, indicating that he would go first.
-
The overall structure of this villa is not much different from that of Peng Jiayan's.

The difference is that Peng Jiayan's room was decorated with an opulent and extravagant style, with all sorts of antique and jade ornaments piled up as if they were free. From the moment you enter, you are overwhelmed by the sights and don't know where to look.

This house, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. Looking around, there is hardly any furniture or appliances in the house. It looks empty, making one wonder if anyone actually lives there.

"I'll go interrogate this guy first. You stay here and don't move around for now. After all, this is the sect's territory. Don't trigger any strange mechanisms."

After Zhou You nodded, Han Ruiming dragged the surviving creature to a side door.

A moment later, a scream that sounded inhuman came from there.

...Poor child, it would have been better if I had just stabbed you to death with my sword back then.

Despite thinking this, Zhou You's face remained expressionless—but soon, he noticed something amiss.

By circulating the Jing Shen Food Incantation, the five senses will naturally be enhanced.

Then, a faint smell of blood was detected.

It wasn't from corpses outside, nor from torture nearby, but...
The entire room seemed to be submerged in a pool of blood, with an extremely disgusting smell of blood.
