"Roar!!
Roar!!
Sss!!! "
Li Cheng's hunger was driving him mad. He clawed at his mother with all his might. Unfortunately, he was much weaker than Song Jiafang, and he was unable to inflict any damage. However, Song Jiafang didn't retaliate. Instead, she simply held on tightly to Li Jiankang.
She refused to let him get close to Li Jiankang.
This was another instinct.
It was a maternal instinct.
Even now, just like when she was hacked to death, she was still unwilling to hurt her own child.
She simply stood there silently, allowing Li Cheng to hold on to her.
"Run …" Song Jiafang stared at Li Jiankang with bloodshot eyes, "Run … go away … run!!"
Li Jiankang was completely dumbfounded. He stared at the two zombies with a complicated look in his eyes.
His lips trembled, and he couldn't say a single word.
It was only now that he finally realized what kind of child he had raised.
"Let go …" He closed his eyes with a complicated smile on his face, "Ah Fang … let go …"
"We let go when we needed to hold on to him when we were still alive … but now … why are you holding on to him?"
The female zombie continued to hold on to Li Cheng's neck as though she hadn't heard him at all.
"Let go … let go!!"
Even though there was a huge disparity in strength, Li Jiankang's outburst of hunger was no small matter. Song Jiafang didn't go all out against Li Cheng, and Li Cheng's every move was getting closer and closer. Finally, with a loud scream, Li Cheng shook Song Jiafang off and rushed towards Li Jiankang like a madman.
"Dad … dad … dad … my dear dad …"
"I'm … coming …"
"You love me so much … you'll definitely let me have a bite … right …?"
Li Jiankang's mouth that was filled with sharp teeth widened in his eyes. His entire body instinctively went into a defensive stance. But a split second later, for some reason, he suddenly stopped and shut his eyes.
Crack.
It was the sound of bones breaking.
"AHHHHHH!!!"
Song Jiafang screamed miserably. She didn't even look at Qin Ye as she rushed towards the corner where Li Jiankang was.
There, Li Cheng was biting down on Li Jiankang's neck, greedily sucking on his blood.
Meanwhile, Li Jiankang was staring at Song Jiafang.
Although Li Jiankang's hair was disheveled and disheveled, his face was twisted into a sinister smile.
It was over …
Was this freedom …
My sins … have finally been repaid …
The human world isn't worth it … It's not worth being stubborn, it's not worth regretting the past, it's not worth committing crimes … After all, good and evil will be rewarded, and the price is too high …
His gaze became more and more lax, and his entire body visibly shriveled up. He gently lifted his hand, and finally dropped it heavily.
"Ahhhh!!
Evil … son!
Unfilial son!
Sss …!! "
The crazed Song Jiafang rushed to Li Cheng's back. Two streams of tears flowed out of her pale eyes. Then … without hesitation, she grabbed Li Cheng's neck and twisted it.
Kacha …
It was the same sound of bones breaking.
Li Cheng's head was forcefully twisted off, but because it was biting Li Jiankang's neck, it did not fall to the ground. Instead, it snuggled up to Li Jiankang.
It was as if father and son had finally reunited after death.
He got what he wanted.
Qin Ye slowly drew his saber.
Perhaps Li Jiankang's death wasn't part of the laws of the mortal realm.
But it was within his judgment, within human ethics.
A life for a life was a matter of course.
The Li family's matter had been resolved, and all that was left was Song Jiafang.
She was the only innocent person involved in the entire incident.
"You're ready. Let's go." Qin Ye pointed his saber at the zombie as he spoke.
The zombie didn't hear anything. Three seconds later, there was a soft whimper.
Then, it grew louder and louder, until it turned into a loud wail.
Even ghosts could grieve.
Perhaps, she no longer knew what grief was. It was purely an instinctive thing.
She leaned against Li Jiankang's body. The three heads were squeezed together, while Li Cheng's severed head lay between her parents. It was almost like a family photo.
Qin Ye sighed softly and swung his saber straight at Song Jiafang's head.
Zombies could only die when their heads were chopped off.
But even if Song Jiafang still retained some of her instincts and sentience, what would happen to her in a year or two?
Therefore, she had no choice but to die.
"Don't worry. I'll take your soul.
I'll give you a good place to go. You … can be considered a good mother. "
But as soon as his saber came into contact with Song Jiafang's neck, the space around them trembled, and the demonhead saber bounced back.
A split second later, blood-red veined patterns began to appear on the bodies of the two zombies. They resembled bloodlines, yet they were also as mysterious as ancient talismans.
These veined patterns continued to circulate, almost as though they were about to burst out of their bodies!
"It's begun."
Arthis flew in front of him and explained, "The reason why the Great Intergenerational Heredity is so rare is because the prerequisites are simply too difficult."
"First of all, there must have been someone who was born into a ghost several generations ago. In other words, they must have been turned into a ghost while they were still alive, regardless of whether it was man-made or natural."
"Secondly, this person must be of the maternal lineage. She must have been pregnant before she was turned into a ghost. Only then would the bloodline of a Yin ghost be passed down … just like the DNA you're studying right now. The DNA of a ghost is hidden within the cells of a human."
Qin Ye looked at the scene in front of him and murmured to himself, "And the prerequisites will trigger the Great Intergenerational Heredity?"
Arthis nodded, "That's right. The third prerequisites are that one of the offspring must have been born into a ghost and be born with Yin veins. Only then will the Great Intergenerational Heredity be triggered."
Qin Ye nodded slightly. But then, as though something had occurred to him, he stared at Li Cheng's head in astonishment and gasped.
"Born into a ghost … are you saying …"
"That's right." Arthis responded placidly, "Li Cheng … wasn't dead at the time."
"Li Jiankang mistakenly believed that he was dead, and then raised him into a zombie … Look at this coffin. There's no way to open it after it's been locked.
Li Cheng … died from suffocation while being raised into a zombie. "
Qin Ye sighed, and then suddenly smiled.
Is this the retribution of the Heavenly Dao?
As expected … they might be late, but they would never be absent.
SSS!!!
With two loud cries, a scarlet glow erupted from within the bodies of the zombies, and the entire room was engulfed by a scarlet tide.
It was like the blooming of the red spider lilies.
Then, the two zombies that were hugging each other actually began to … disintegrate under the scarlet glow?
Cracks began to appear on the incomparably tough skin of the zombies, and the scarlet glow shone from below like a dark red diamond.
A split second later, with a muffled bang, the two zombies were reduced to a pile of flames.
A violent gale filled the entire room.
"What's this?" Qin Ye stared curiously at the ball of flames. It was more than a meter tall. Even though it was fire, it was as cold as ice.
More importantly, he could clearly sense that there was a vengeful apparition of Yin energy slowly growing within the flames.
It didn't belong to Song Jiafang, nor did it belong to Li Jiankang or Li Cheng.
It was almost as though … they were creating something out of thin air!
Almost as though she could read his mind, Arthis explained calmly, "It's not creation. Creation … especially the creation of humans is the work of the gods. Only the King Yanluo of Hell is capable of such a feat.
This is simply … revealing things that were previously hidden. "
"For instance, the Yin energy hidden in their bloodlines, or their … ancestors."
Qin Ye didn't ask any further questions.
This was because the soulfire in the cavern had already blossomed and transformed into a scarlet lotus of netherflames. And right in the center of the lotus was a person.
An illusory person.
An illusory woman!
Even though she was dead, her facial features were still as clear as ever.
She was about eighteen or nineteen years old and had short hair. Her figure could be said to be perfect. She was naturally seductive.
She was dressed in a cheongsam, and she was approximately 1.68 meters tall. Her snow-white thighs jutted out from the slit between her thighs. Her eyebrows were like those of a painting, and she had a delicate nose, cherry-red lips, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a tear-shaped mole beneath her right eye.
Qin Ye was stunned.
"What's this?" He stared at the woman who had yet to fully open her eyes and asked Arthis.
However, Arthis only responded with a cold chuckle, "What's this?
She's a little whore. "
"I can smell the stench on her even with my eyes closed!
I'm not done yet. As soon as the Great Intergenerational Heredity is fully activated, the host will immediately perish, and the ancestral spirit will take over the body. Of course … the body will have already become a zombie, and the ancestral spirit will naturally appear. "
Qin Ye blinked his eyes and probed further, "Why do I get the feeling that you're filled with a deep sense of hostility towards me?"
"Hostility?" Arthis sneered, "What hostility could I possibly feel from a woman of such beauty?
Firstly, her status is inferior to mine.
Secondly, her tongue isn't even sticking out, and it's not even dragging on the ground.
Thirdly … In any case, she's not even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me. "
Instant understanding.
A showdown between two beauties … Qin Ye responded meaningfully. Speaking of which, Arthis, don't you have any idea what it's like for a Rakshasa to stop babies from crying at night?
"With all due respect … as a normal man, I still think that she … cough … Don't look at me with such a murderous gaze. You might misunderstand that you're coveting my beauty … Fine, fine. You're the most beautiful. She's far inferior to you!"
"With all due respect, do you know the best place for the Great Intergenerational Heredity?" Arthis asked placidly.
Qin Ye coughed dryly. His face flushed red, and he covered his mouth with his fist, "The harem of King Yanluo of Hell?"
Arthis was instantly infuriated, "Do you think I'm not worthy of your harem?!
Back then, countless Infernal Judges and even Abyssal Prefects chased after me, but I didn't even spare them a glance. What right do you have to be picky with someone like you?! "
Qin Ye's hair stood on end. You don't even have a body, and you're telling me that you're using … No, I'm getting off topic. I've never thought of something so horrifying!
Just the thought of it is enough to wake me up in the middle of the night!
"No … how could you possibly have such a bizarre train of thought?
Wake up!
Stop talking in your sleep!
The generation gap between us is deeper than the Straits of Malacca. We're definitely not a good match! "
Arthis was even more infuriated than he was, "You?!
You're penniless, and you look like a weakling!
Your Hell's Emissary form is three dimensions lower than mine!
How dare you even think about riding on top of me?!
Where did you get the confidence from?! "
"Bloody hell … you even know that I'm a weakling … Also, can't you be a little more reserved?
Who the hell wants to ride on top of you?!
I'm obviously following your train of thought! "
