“I…”
“Th…there!”
“Ghost!”
Upon seeing Zhang Yingxue, five or six members of the Black Eagle Gang looked as if they had lost their souls, their minds completely blank, utterly at a loss for words.
Seven or eight members who had been sleeping standing up were jolted awake by these hair-raising screams.
“Didn’t you bastards agree to keep watch?”
“Damn it, which jerk scared me?”
“And you, yelling so loud, have you seen a ghost?!”
“If you disturb the rest of the Hall Masters, you bastards can just wait to get skinned alive.”
Amidst the chaos, a man with a fierce, murderous expression was loudly berating those who stood there dumbfounded.
Damn it, these idiots, as members of the Black Eagle Gang, were shouting and screaming.
They didn’t have an ounce of the gang’s supposed grit.
If word of this got out, him being their leader, how could he ever hold his head up again?
After his tirade, the man saw his underlings all looking utterly dejected and slack-jawed.
The display of these good-for-nothings made an invisible flame of rage surge within him.
“Speak! What the hell are you all standing there gaping for?”
A gang member, his face etched with despair, felt his legs tremble uncontrollably as he realized he couldn’t move.
“Brother Hao, beh…behind…behind you… there’s…”
“Behind me?”
“Who’d be coming to the Black Eagle Gang in the dead of night?”
“Who could scare you useless punks like this?”
“Even if it were one of those things, it’d think twice before messing with our Black Eagle Gang!”
With that, Brother Hao frowned and turned around without a moment’s hesitation.
He’d just see who had the nerve.
Not sleeping at home in the middle of the night, coming here to scare his men instead.
The next second!
The instant Brother Hao turned around, his body froze completely.
The angry expression on his fierce face became eerily rigid.
In the chilly night, large beads of cold sweat dripped down his face.
A hideous, terrifying face was merely centimeters from his own.
Brother Hao could even smell a stench of rot and decay, making his stomach churn violently.
However, Brother Hao never got the chance to vomit.
Before the horrified eyes of the gang members, Brother Hao’s bulky frame underwent a grotesque transformation.
Starting from his head down to his feet, every shred of flesh and blood began to separate and slough off.
Then, in less than a second, Brother Hao had dissolved into a pool of blood, spreading across the ground!
“Ghost!”
Deep within the Black Eagle Gang’s compound, in the courtyard where the Gang Leader resided.
The Gang Leader, who had been sleeping soundly, snapped his eyes open, tumbled out of bed, not even stopping to put on his clothes.
“Not good, this Yin energy… it’s one of those things!”
The Gang Leader, a man in his forties and a martial artist at the peak of the Blood Refining realm, felt his own life force suddenly churn wildly, as if sensing something truly terrifying.
And that terrifying thing was precisely the horrific Yin energy that had jolted him awake.
Run!
Reacting swiftly, the Gang Leader grabbed his personal weapon, burst through the door, and fled into the distance.
Shortly after the Gang Leader fled, a crimson afterimage slowly materialized in the room.
The Gang Leader’s concubine, startled awake, had no time to think.
She found herself staring directly at Zhang Yingxue, and into that ferocious, terrifying face.
The Gang Leader ran without looking back, not even noticing the deathly silence around him.
It was only after about fifteen minutes that he finally sensed something was wrong.
Given his speed as a Blood Refining realm martial artist, he should have long since escaped the gang’s stronghold.
But to his utter horror, the scene before him was the very room he had fled from in the first place.
A wave of suffocating terror surged over him like a tidal wave, gripping his heart.
“Why is this happening?!”
“This damned thing’s Yin energy… even my vital energy can’t counter it!”
A ghastly white face emerged beside him, standing shoulder to shoulder.
“Husband~”
“Why are you running so fast? Wait for your wife~”
Coquettish, pleading whispers reached the Gang Leader’s ears.
Yet that pale, sinister face held not a trace of human emotion.
“Damn you, monster! Die!”
Driven by sheer terror, the Gang Leader erupted with all his vital energy.
The great sword in his hand steamed with white vapor as he swung it directly at his concubine.
The next instant!
The concubine was cleaved in two by the sharp blade, the cut edges sizzling with white smoke.
But before the Gang Leader could relax, another pale face of his concubine appeared on his other side.
The same spine-chilling words echoed in his ears once more.
“Husband~”
“Why are you running so fast? Wait for your wife~”
The moment these chilling words faded,
Behind him, in front of him, even above his head and on the ground, countless cold, ghastly white faces materialized.
“Damn you, monster! I’ll fight you to the death!”
As he tried to resist, his vital energy instantly froze, and his skin took on an eerie, frosty sheen.
And so, completely paralyzed by the cold, the Gang Leader was savagely torn to pieces by the countless ferocious, pale faces.
In his last moment of consciousness, Zhang Yingxue’s figure appeared before him.
“Zhang Yingxue?”
“You?”
Upon seeing her, the Gang Leader felt not fear, but profound confusion?
Of course he knew Zhang Yingxue better than anyone.
That night, he had personally led the Black Eagle Gang to slaughter the entire Zhang family.
He had also thoroughly toyed with this Zhang Yingxue in front of everyone.
And of course, as the Gang Leader, one Zhang Yingxue wasn’t enough for him… even her own mother, he had…
Now, this crippled girl had become the very monster that was his doom.
At the moment of the Gang Leader’s death, the eerie blood energy surrounding Zhang Yingxue seemed to thicken.
Then, that blood energy surged onto the ground like a torrent, rapidly spreading throughout the entire Black Eagle Gang compound.
Every single person within the compound, men, women, and children alike, met the same fate as their leader.
“Die!”
In the hazy, indistinct night,
A vast, ferocious, and terrifying phantom image of Zhang Yingxue’s face loomed over the Black Eagle Gang.
It was over a hundred meters wide, as if it intended to devour the entire gang whole.
