Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

"sit."

Lin Yi sat on the sofa and waved to the top-notch henchman next to her.

The thug understood immediately and brought over a grand chair, placing it in the center of the hall.

Fire Cloud Evil God didn't stand on ceremony. He plopped down on it, crossed his legs, and swung his flip-flops around on his toes.

"Are you the legendary ultimate killer, Fire Cloud Evil God?" Lin Yi asked.

Fire Cloud Evil God waved his hand modestly, his tone carrying a hint of humility and a barely perceptible smugness:

"It's all just empty fame."

His attention, however, kept drifting towards the casino.

He sensed the presence of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, two great masters, and was suppressing the urge to attack.

The Fire Cloud Evil God withdrew his attention, looked directly at Lin Yi, and spoke in a calm tone, uttering extremely bloodthirsty words:

"You invited me here because you want me to kill someone for you?"

"But let me make this clear first: I have no interest in ordinary people; I won't kill anyone who isn't a true master."

"Mr. Evil God, you've misunderstood."

Lin Yi leaned back in his armchair, smiled and waved his hand: "I called you here not to kill anyone, but just to have you work for my Axe Gang."

"Your kung fu skills are quite good; it's a waste for you to stay in a mental hospital."

Fire Cloud Evil God's expression froze.

The smile on his face slowly disappeared, his eyes narrowed, and a dangerous light surged deep within his pupils.

He put his legs down, which had been crossed, and his right hand, which was loosely resting on the armrest, had its five fingers slightly bent, with his nails leaving shallow marks on the wood.

"Are you kidding me?" His voice dropped several octaves, carrying a chilling undertone. "Do you know what the consequences of playing me are?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fire Cloud Evil God made his move.

His body suddenly sprang up from the chair, as fast as a bullet leaving the barrel.

Everyone present only saw a blur before their eyes, and Fire Cloud Evil God had already appeared beside Lin Yi, raising his right hand high and slapping Lin Yi's cheek hard.

However, while the speed of the Fire Cloud Evil God was indeed ridiculously fast in the eyes of ordinary people, it was as slow as a snail in Lin Yi's eyes.

"As expected of an evil god, his temper is quite wicked." Lin Yi's lips curled slightly, and he casually raised his right hand, gently snapping his fingers together to grab the wrist that the Fire Cloud Evil God was slapping at.

Then Lin Yi grabbed his hand and slammed it hard to the ground.

boom--

A deafening thud.

The bluestone floor tiles were smashed, leaving a large, human-shaped crater. Gravel and dust flew everywhere, and the entire Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness trembled slightly with the impact.

The noise from the casino quieted down for a moment, then resumed—the gamblers thought it was thunder.

Fire Cloud Evil God was so dizzy and disoriented from the impact that his internal organs were in excruciating pain. He couldn't even muster his inner energy and lay on the ground looking utterly bewildered.

The force of the blow was just right, enough to cause him pain without actually shattering his skull.

"How could this happen? How could this happen..."

Ah Xing stood in the corner, looking at Lin Yi with admiration.

He had gone to find the Fire Cloud Evil God earlier, and as he approached the cell, an overwhelming killing intent seeped out from the crack in the door, drenching him from head to toe like solid ice water.

He seemed to see a vision of rivers of blood flowing, and at that moment he even had the idea of ​​giving up on bringing the Fire Cloud Evil God back.

But now, this suffocating demon is being smashed into the ground like a rag doll in front of Brother Chen.

Lin Yi stood up from the sofa, walked to the Fire Cloud Evil God's side, squatted down, and looked at him with a smile:

"Now, Mr. Evil God, can you seriously consider my suggestion?"

Fire Cloud Evil God lay on his back in the pile of broken bricks, his eyes fixed on Lin Yi.

"What kind of martial arts do you practice? How can you be so strong?"

Fire Cloud Evil God's voice was hoarse and dry, his face filled with resentment and defeat.

He was obsessed with martial arts throughout his life, and challenged countless masters, but he never encountered anyone who could not withstand even a single move from him.

"Wrong answer." Lin Yi shook her head regretfully.

He grabbed the Fire Cloud Evil God's ankle and lifted him up.

The Fire Cloud Evil God's body, weighing over a hundred pounds, felt as light as a straw in his hands. Then he started playing the same whack-a-mole game as Loki.

A series of muffled thuds echoed through the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness.

This old guy has mastered the Toad Kung Fu to its highest level. His body is as tough as copper and iron, comparable to a black zombie, and he is extremely durable.

Moreover, the feeling of smashing him was completely different from smashing the cold, black zombie like Old Master Ren. Smashing the body of the Fire Cloud Evil God felt very tactile.

While Lin Yi was having a great time smashing things, the Fire Cloud Evil God was in a terrible state.

Although he was physically strong and his bones were several times tougher than those of ordinary people, he was still ultimately made of flesh and blood.

After several rounds of whack-a-mole, his face was so swollen that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him, and blood was gushing from his nose like a fountain.

The others in the hall gasped, a chill running down their spines, thinking to themselves that Brother Chen was truly ruthless.

The dizzy and disoriented Fire Cloud Evil God saw stars as he was hit. In a daze, he felt Lin Yi lift his ankle again, making him fly into the air, and he looked like he was about to be slammed to the ground again.

He shuddered and immediately shouted with all his might, "Stop! Stop! I surrender! I'm willing to work for the Axe Gang!"

Lin Yi's strength filled him with despair, a despair that surged from the depths of his soul, leaving him with no thought of resistance.

The so-called leader of the Axe Gang possessed strength, speed, and reflexes that far surpassed those of martial artists at his level.

He even doubted that the person in front of him was human.

Although he was a bloodthirsty martial arts fanatic, he valued his life very much.

Otherwise, in the original series, he wouldn't have obediently knelt down and begged for mercy after being defeated by the landlady's loudspeaker and Ah Xing's Buddha Palm.

"Is this what you truly feel? You're not forcing me?"

Lin Yi's tone seemed somewhat regretful, as if he wished he would say "no" so that he could smash a few more rounds.

"It's true, absolutely true!"

Fire Cloud Evil God trembled violently, shaking his head like a rattle-drum, repeatedly saying, "I genuinely want to work for the Axe Gang! I'm not forcing myself at all!"

"Alright, since you're so sincere in your allegiance, I'll reluctantly accept you."

"From now on, you'll be an elder of the Axe Gang. Serve the Axe Gang well."

Lin Yi gently put Huo Yun Xie Shen down and considerately patted the pebbles and dust off his white vest.

Fire Cloud Evil God trembled again in fright.

Every time Lin Yi clapped her hands, his eyelids twitched.

He quickly pledged his loyalty: "Rest assured, Boss, I will do my job well and will never let you down!"

The difference in their strength was so great that he couldn't even muster the idea of ​​launching a sneak attack with hidden weapons.

"Very good. Regulate your internal energy first; I'll need your help with something later."

Lin Yi patted his shoulder with satisfaction.

"Yes, boss."

Fire Cloud Evil God quickly responded, not daring to ask what was going on. He obediently sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing.

Lin Yi turned to look at Ah Xing and waved to him: "Ah Xing, get ready. The Evil God will help you unleash your potential later."

"Brother Chen, I've been ready for a long time." Ah Xing puffed out his chest, his face full of anticipation. He had been waiting for this day for far too long.

A short while later, the Fire Cloud Evil God finished his meditation and stood up from the ground.

He walked respectfully to Lin Yi's side, his hands hanging at his sides, bowing slightly, waiting for instructions.

Lin Yi raised her hand and pointed at Ah Xing, explaining in a calm tone:

"See him? In a moment, use 30% of your strength to strike his Tanzhong, Fengfu, Fengchi, and Tianzhu acupoints, four of them."

You can only punch each acupoint once, no more!

"Thirty percent of your strength, and you're going to take him down?"

Fire Cloud Evil God gave Ah Xing a strange look.

This kid is clearly an ordinary person; the true energy he cultivated using the Toad Style is fierce and domineering.

Let alone 30% of his power, even 10% of his power would be enough to easily kill him.

Not to mention that they were hitting vital points like the chest and back of the head.

Could it be that this kid has offended the gang leader?

"Go ahead and hit me. You won't be responsible if anything happens." Lin Yi nodded, her tone resolute.

Fire Cloud Evil God no longer hesitated.

He walked up to Ah Xing, his right fist clenched, the veins on his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, bulging slightly.

Without hesitation, he threw a punch.

boom--

A muffled thud.

Ah Xing was sent flying backward by the punch, his back slamming hard against a pillar of the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness before he came to a stop.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, soaking a large area of ​​his newly bought black suit.

The fabric on the back of the clothes also burst open with a hole the size of a fist under the impact of the punch.

Before Ah Xing could react, the Fire Cloud Evil God had already pounced on him.

He circled behind Ah Xing and delivered a triple punch to the back of his head, each punch landing precisely on the center of an acupoint.

The force of the punch penetrated through the skull and went straight to the brain, blurring Ah Xing's vision, making his ears ring, and causing him to slide down as if his bones had been removed.

A piercing pain surged into his brain like a tidal wave, a pain that exceeded the limits of human endurance.

"Is this what Brother Chen meant by 'a little pain'?"

Ah Xing's last thought before losing consciousness.

The intense pain triggered the body's most primal protective mechanism, and his brain severed the last thread of consciousness.

Fire Cloud Evil God stopped punching, looked down at Ah Xing who was slumped on the ground, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

An ordinary person would have been dead long ago after taking those punches.

Although the boy in front of me was on the verge of death, clinging to life with only a faint breath, he just couldn't die.

To the Fire Cloud Evil God's surprise, Ah Xing's body began to spontaneously generate true energy.

That true energy was extremely pure, and it was condensing, growing stronger, and flowing along the meridians at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, his body is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fire Cloud Evil God silently took two steps back, his face showing no emotion, but his heart was churning with turmoil.

If he were to deliver another punch now, Ah Xing would surely die, but Fire Cloud Evil God dared not make another move.

He finally understood that this was not punishment, but rather an opportunity for destruction and reconstruction.

If he killed someone, he was afraid the gang leader would tear him to pieces on the spot.

Lin Yi walked to Ah Xing's side, waved her hand, and sucked all the blood flowing from Ah Xing's body into her palm.

The blood condensed into a bead the size of a soybean above Lin Yi's palm.

He grabbed Ah Xing by the back of his collar, dragged him into the rest room behind the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

Then he put the bead of blood in his mouth and swallowed it.

Back at the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, Lin Yi had someone take the Fire Cloud Evil God to a guest room to rest.

Lin Yi didn't linger and teleported back to her villa in Kowloon Tong.

Lin Yi quietly took off his coat and lay down next to Dai Meng. Dai Meng turned over in his sleep and habitually placed one hand on his chest.

Lin Yi closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into her body, and began to digest the new abilities brought by A Xing's blood.

Ah Xing's memories flashed through his mind like a movie playing on fast-forward.

But Lin Yi wasn't most concerned with those things. What he was most interested in was the core talent inherent in Ah Xing's physique—a martial arts prodigy, one in a million.

This physique provides negligible benefit to Lin Yi's own ancestral body of stiffness.

But the fighting talent inherent in his physique caught Lin Yi's eye.

After absorbing the blood, he closed his eyes and sensed the changes in himself, quickly understanding the true value of this talent.

It doesn't increase strength or speed, but rather a mysterious and profound combat intuition.

When playing games, it's like having full map vision and prediction assistance; when facing a specific opponent or a specific battlefield environment, the most suitable response will automatically appear in your mind.

Lin Yi opened her eyes, a slight smile curving her lips.

Absorbing the blood of a martial arts prodigy is definitely worthwhile. Even if the physical enhancement is only slight, the improvement in soft power like combat talent is something that can't be sought after.

In high spirits, he held Dai Meng tightly in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next morning, Ah Xing opened his eyes.

Two beams of white light shot out from the depths of his pupils, illuminating the entire lounge.

That was not ordinary light, but a strange phenomenon produced when internal energy was released.

Only when one's internal energy cultivation reaches a state of consummate skill will this sign of divine light emanating outwards appear.

He slowly sat up and looked down at his hands.

He could sense the terrifying power now contained within those hands.

A vast amount of true energy surged continuously through his meridians.

Successful.

Ah Xing's eyes were slightly red.

He had imagined countless times what it would feel like to have mastered his divine skills—probably laughing heartily as he went out into the street and beat up all the people who had bullied him before.

But now that he truly possesses this power, his mind has become calm.

It's like someone walking in a thick fog for twenty years, and suddenly the fog clears, revealing a straight road. Instead of rushing, he stands still and takes a deep breath.

His past experiences slowly flowed through his mind.

He discovered that over the years, his original aspirations had not disappeared, but had been submerged layer by layer by the bitterness of life, or covered by layers of dust by a hopeless future.

Footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the door was pushed open.

Lin Yi stood at the door, smiling at him: "Ah Xing, now your divine sword has finally been sharpened."
