Excessive ferocity due to caution

A terrifying killing intent clashed in the air like a raging torrent!

While the first wife, now a ghoul, was fierce and powerful, the ghoul master, who had absorbed the heart of a lover, was no pushover either. As their fists and palms clashed, explosions erupted one after another, like thunderclaps, making people's heads buzz!

boom!

The zombie's physical body was ridiculously strong; a single punch, with an unknown amount of force, sent the ghoul flying!

However, the ghouls were not to be outdone. While constantly clashing with the zombies, they also tried to use their mental powers to interfere with the zombies' actions!

The zombie's movements slowed down slightly, and the ghoul immediately left several scratch marks on its body!

Instantly, the skin was torn open and the flesh was ripped apart!

...

Zhao Yi and Luo Qili, clutching the paper effigy manager's corpse, kept moving away from the battlefield!

"This paper figure is incredibly resilient; its head has been chopped off, yet it's still alive."

Zhao Yi looked at the paper figure on the ground, which was still bleeding, and tried to stick its head back on!

Seeing the paper figure's head being pieced back together and its eyes regaining their sparkle, Zhao Yi knew it was a success!

"And one more arm..."

Luo Qili eagerly took the paper figure's arm and stuck it on to it in the same way.

The steward tried to sit up, but he was extremely weak.

"It needs a blood transfusion."

Zhao Yi took out a scalpel and revealed a reassuring smile.

Luo Qili sensed that Zhao Yi's gaze was not right, so she turned to run away, but Zhao Yi grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back!

"Depend on!"

"Zhao Yi, you son of a bitch..."

Before Luo Qili could finish her rant, Zhao Yi slashed her wrist open!

Blood gushed out, splattering all over the paper figure.

"Alright, alright!"

"I'm running low on blood... I'm going to die... I'm going to die... I'm going to die..."

Luo Qili looked extremely nervous!

Zhao Yi was too ruthless; the wound on her wrist was incredibly deep!

Blood is gushing out like crazy!

I feel my strength being rapidly drained from my body.

Seeing that it was almost done, the tendrils at the wound on her wrist immediately closed up, sealing the wound.

Zhao Yi then cut open his own wrist and did the same thing to give the paper doll manager some blood.

"Steward Che, listen to me... Although your master is very strong now, the corpse demon has accumulated too much resentment. It hasn't fully adapted to its power yet. Once it does, your master will surely die!"

"The only way to kill it is to dispel the resentment within it!"

"We are too weak to get close to them, but you might have a chance to strike..."

"This exquisite heart contains the master's love for his first wife. If you place it into the corpse demon's chest, you can dissolve its resentment..."

Zhao Yi handed the damaged Linglong Heart to the paper doll steward, who glanced at it with a sharp look in his eyes!

Blood began to seep from its brightly painted face, and the eerie smile on its face became increasingly ferocious!

Soon, the blood completely stained its body red!

His aura grew increasingly terrifying!

The two knew that Che Lin was going to fight to the death!

The two heavily injured ghosts beside the second mistress roared and flew swiftly toward the car forest!

The ghostly power surged, and the life force completely dissipated!

They... are seeking revenge for the Second Madam!

With the power of these two ghosts injected into him, Che Lin finally returned to his peak condition!

Even more powerful!

Looking at the two men fighting for their lives in the distance, Che Lin waved his hand!

Here comes the knife!

The paper-made Guan Dao now faintly shimmered with a metallic sheen, exuding an eerie aura, and one could almost hear the wails of countless dead souls!

It flew into the steward's hand, then burst forth with fierce killing intent, heading straight for the distant ghoul!

This strike brought together all of Che Lin's power!

Including its vitality!

"court death!"

Enraged that the trash it had previously dealt with in a few moves dared to act so arrogantly, the ghoul was willing to pay a price to force the zombies back, and then turned around and slashed!

Puff!

That paper-made Guan Dao was far sharper and harder than the ghoul had expected!

It severed the ghoul's arm, splitting it in two, and pierced the ghoul's chest!

Click!

The blade of the Guan Dao was about to cleave the ghoul's heart, but it was held firmly by a layer of teeth on the outside of the heart!

The power of that tooth was so terrifying that it actually blocked the Guan Dao!

The ghoul grabbed Che Lin by the neck with one hand and grinned maliciously:

"What a pity..."

"Even if you, a weak insect, risk your life, what can you do to me?"

Its other hand gripped the exquisite heart held by the paper effigy steward, and it sneered:

"You think you can use something this weak... to deal with me?"

"How naive!"

Just as it was getting carried away with its triumph, a sharp scalpel suddenly pierced its back!

The ghoul's smile froze.

It slowly lowered its head.

That unassuming scalpel... actually dissected its hard teeth and dug out its heart!

The corpse demon's eyes were bloodshot!

"No……!!!"

It suddenly turned around to kill the thief behind it, but the next moment, Zhao Yi stuffed a bloody heart into its chest cavity!

Instantly, a warm power permeated his entire body. The ghoul's expression was one of utter shock and pain, and golden flames actually ignited on his body!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

It screamed in agony, and Zhao Yi flashed his signature bright smile at the retreating corpse.

"I'm so sorry... But what Steward Che has is just an empty shell; I took the contents out."

The ghoul gritted its teeth, still trying to kill Zhao Yi with its last bit of strength, but a cold, large hand grabbed its head!

Its eyes narrowed sharply; it knew it was doomed!

Splat!

The hard head was crushed by the zombie's hand!

The boundless resentment gathered in the air and had not yet dissipated, charging fiercely towards Zhao Yixiang, who had a smirking face!

However, it didn't see... Zhao Yi laughed even more happily!

A torrent of resentment enveloped Zhao Yi, surging in from all directions, seeping into his pores, trying to possess him and occupy his mental world!

They howled, tore, and injected...

However, once all these resentments flooded into Zhao Yi's mental world... they seemed to melt away like ice and snow, leaving no trace!

Zhao Yi's originally pale face has now recovered to about 70-80%.

"good……"

He licked his lips, as if he was still not quite satisfied.

Che Lin stood silently in the wind, holding a Guan Dao in one hand, and looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky.

The night breeze was slightly chilly, and the dark clouds had dispersed at some point, leaving behind a lone, bright moon shining in the night.

I felt somewhat saddened.

"Master...this old servant must take his leave now..."

The paper figure smiled at the zombie, its body turning to ashes and disappearing into the wind.

On the ground, only the cold corpses of the First Madam and the Second Madam remained.

The zombie slowly knelt on the ground, reaching out to stroke Su Mei's face. After a long while, it let out a soft sigh...

Studio:

The final twist was amazing! If Zhao Yi hadn't taken the master's heart out of Linglong's heart beforehand, this team would have been wiped out!

Damn, my brother Zhao vividly demonstrated what it means to be highly skilled and daring!

I'm a fan now! Zhao Yi is amazing!

So, how did Zhao Yi kill Baal before? The live stream crashed, damn... such a brilliant counterattack, it could definitely be a top ten story on the forum this year, and it got cut off by the crash!

I don't know... It might be a super item. It's normal for a newcomer like Zhao Yi, who has great potential, to be given some treasures by a mediocre guild.

A guild of slackers? Isn't that a useless guild? What kind of treasure could it possibly have?

The "Honest Guild" is indeed a useless guild, but the few veterans in that guild are all top-tier combatants in the Bone Zone...

: ……

...

A hand gently pressed on the zombie master's shoulder.

"Not long ago, I asked the Second Madam a question."

"She said she had always loved the old man."

"At least now she and her lover can be together forever."

Zhao Yi calmed the zombie down.

To prevent him from going crazy.

Perhaps it was because the second wife's heart was also imbued with the influence of her love for the master, that the zombie, though saddened at this moment, remained quite rational.

"It was my greed that killed her... She shouldn't have paid the price for my stupidity..."

The zombie let out a long, slow sigh.

The bodies of the two ladies were buried.

The zombie thanked Zhao Yi and Luo Qili.

When Zhao Yi inquired about those strangely dressed people who had come to the Prince's mansion mentioning immortality, the Zombie Master was in a daze for a long time.

It finally shook its head and said:

"I don't remember very clearly."

"Their clothes are very similar to yours."

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow.

Are they dressed like us?

Not from this dynasty?

The zombie master led Zhao Yi and Luo Qili towards the second floor of the main house, telling them some things he still remembered:

"When they came to me, they gave me some documents on corpse refining. There were some things I didn't quite understand. They said they were from some kind of Skull Church, but I'd never heard of such an organization in the martial arts world..."

"They told me that if my heart were refined, it could completely revive A-Qian, and that if I followed the instructions in that book on corpse refining and transformed myself into a living dead, I wouldn't die even without a heart..."

"I was too greedy... Qian and I grew up together, and our relationship was closer than that of family. When she was forty, she died in childbirth along with her unborn child. I couldn't accept this fact. I used medicine to prevent Qian's body from decaying while mobilizing manpower and resources to search for all kinds of strange and unusual techniques in the martial arts world, trying to revive Qian. In the end, I obtained a book on mechanical arts from the Gongshu family..."

"The instructions on how to create a flesh puppet were exactly what I needed, so, in my madness, I turned A-Qian into a flesh puppet..."

"Then, in order to completely revive A-Qian and see her again, I prepared to transform myself into a living dead... As long as there is no heart, a living dead will never become a zombie and will not harm others. But I was still worried about accidents, so I asked Che Lin and Mei'er to prepare glutinous rice and glutinous rice cakes..."

"But I never expected it would end like this..."

Wang Zhan gave a bitter laugh.

Zhao Yi took over the conversation.

"I never expected things to turn out this way."

"You became a living dead, and coincidentally, you resonated with the First Madam's heart. So you put the heart containing the resentment of the flesh puppet into your own body, completely turning into a zombie, and began to slaughter indiscriminately in the mansion..."

"If you hadn't prepared glutinous rice beforehand, I doubt anyone in the mansion would have been able to subdue you... right?"

Wang Zhan looked at Zhao Yi with a slightly surprised expression.

"That's true."

"Poor Che Lin, he fought alongside me all his life, yet in the end he didn't get any wealth or official position, and even lost his life because of me..."

"To protect the others in the mansion, he hanged himself on the second floor. His battle spirit and murderous aura possessed the paper doll, and together with the glutinous rice prepared by Mei'er, he locked me on the second floor..."

"At that time, I was almost completely out of my mind. Mei'er would feed me with her own heart's blood every day at the end of midnight, which allowed me to barely retain a sliver of my consciousness."

Wang Zhan's tone was very sad.

In order to preserve a sliver of his consciousness, Su Mei was also using the methods in that book on corpse refining to gradually transform herself into a living dead...

After all, a living person cannot obtain their own heart's blood.

Zhao and his companion then realized that Su Mei was wearing such thick clothes to cover the bloody hole in her chest.

The reason she doesn't eat glutinous rice is because Su Mei is practically a living dead person and has a strong aversion to it.

During their conversation, the three arrived at the second floor of the main house.

The scene inside sent chills down Luo Qili's spine and sent shivers down the spines of the viewers in the live stream...

P.S.: Sorry, I miscalculated. It won't end until the next chapter. There are still some things I haven't finished explaining. I need to go take a dump first, then cook, then eat, and then continue writing.

Thank you for reading.
