Chapter 313: Chapter 5: A Few Ants, Already Dealt With

It was as if a palm had grasped his heart,

forcing the beating heart to suddenly stop.

Blood surged like ocean waves, yet it could no longer make the heart beat again.

Boom!

Liang Hui’s heart exploded, and without exception, every door within a hundred meters burst open.

Wood chips flew through the air, and stones scattered and shattered.

One after another, charred corpses walked out from the various rooms along the corridor.

A pair of emotionless grey eyes gazed at the young man in the Taoist robe.

Liang Hui’s eyes were filled with cold severity.

With a mere thought, the exploded heart began to heal slowly and reappeared in his chest,

while the youth’s icy gaze remained fixed on the charred body in his hand.

At this moment, the body was mostly covered by the Pure Yang Taoist charm, a reddish glow enveloping its upper half, making its struggles weaker.

Thud!~

Another knock sounded from the heart, causing the healing heart to show cracks.

Thud!~

His brain, body, and various organs began to emit faint knocking noises.

And with time passing, the knocking grew louder.

Cracks appeared on Liang Hui’s body from inside out, making him seem as fragile as porcelain.

It seemed as if at any moment, he would shatter.

Nevertheless, Liang Hui’s expression remained exceptionally cold throughout.

He kept his gaze fixated on the charred corpse about to be engulfed by the Pure Yang charm.

"It’s over!"

The next instant, all the charred corpses that had emerged from the rooms in the corridor disappeared.

Only a reddish corpse remained, held in his hand.

Turning around!

He held the reddish corpse in one hand as he walked toward his room.

Meanwhile, the cracks on his body continued to heal.

But as his injuries healed, the young man’s face grew paler.

Reaching the wall,

Liang Hui took a half-step back with his foot, aligning his foot, waist, and shoulder in a diagonal line.

He then suddenly exerted his strength.

His right palm, like a sledgehammer, smashed the corpse directly into the wall.

Boom!!

Dust filled the air, and stones flew.

A large hole appeared in the wall.

Liang Hui looked at the height of less than six meters and leaped down, disappearing around the corner with the reddish corpse.

.....

Woo~ Woo~

The sound of sirens filled the entire street.

One after another, figures dressed in security team uniforms stepped out of vehicles, surrounding the hostel.

"Captain Guang, I have no idea what happened?"

"At night, I couldn’t sleep, so I went out for a late-night snack, and when I came back, it was like this."

A pale-faced middle-aged man was anxiously explaining to a robust man dressed in Great Yu Dynasty’s official attire.

At this moment, a fully armed security team member emerged from the hostel, his expression gravely serious.

"Captain, everyone in the hostel is dead except for this person here, without exception."

"Everyone’s dead!!"

The man in the official attire couldn’t help but step back a few paces, looking at the dimly lit hostel.

"Xiao Yang, take the brothers upstairs now and search."

"Remember not to miss any details, and after the search, write a report and send it to me."

A fully armed security team member, with an extremely unpleasant expression, was inclined to refuse the task.

But upon recalling the strict system of the Great Yu Dynasty, he prepared to step forward.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Amid the crisp footsteps,

two figures wearing trench coats and sunglasses approached,

one short in the lead and another tall following behind.

"From now on, leave this to us."

"You all may leave."

The husky voice came from the leading trench-coated man.

At the same time, a hand clad in a leather glove pulled out a document from his pocket and handed it over.

Captain Guang’s hands trembled as he took the document and started to check it.

It wasn’t that he wanted to tremble, but as the person in front of him got closer, his body instinctively started to shake and cower in fear.

It seemed that beneath his robe, something terrifying was hidden.

"Retreat!"

After confirming the credentials were correct, the security team captain immediately led his team away from the hotel.

As the security personnel left, two figures dressed in trench coats began to walk slowly toward the hotel.

Approaching the corridor, what they saw was a complete mess.

The two walked side by side, carefully surveying their surroundings.

They soon arrived at the room where Liang Hui had stayed.

The shorter figure took off his sunglasses, revealing bloodshot eyes.

He looked at the shattered walls near the door and the gaping hole in the room.

With gloved hands, he gently touched the edges of the hole.

"It’s that kind of entity; we did not sense it incorrectly."

"But looking at the scene, it seems there was resistance."

"Resistance? If we can’t find a pattern to that kind of entity, how could we mere mortals possibly resist it?"

The taller figure, draped in a trench coat, had a bitter expression, knowing too well the terror of such an entity.

"We can’t resist, but some fighting experts can delay the arrival of death."

"Like this one."

The shorter man pointed to the gaping hole in the room.

"Now that we’ve investigated clearly, we should go back."

"Aren’t we going to continue the investigation?"

"Investigate what? Ghosts? Or the fighting expert?"

The shorter man chuckled lowly, his voice like two pieces of wood rubbing against each other.

"You must know, we poor souls consume our life force every time we use our power."

"I understand now, Brother Yan."

As they conversed, the two figures, one tall and one short, had already disappeared at the staircase.

...

Lin’an City.

Yuhua Villa District.

A figure was sprinting along the streets at high speed.

He finally stopped in front of a villa with green tiles.

Liang Hui paused briefly and leaped into the courtyard.

He walked towards the only lit room in the villa.

With a red skeletal hand in one hand and reaching out with the other,

Thud! Thud!

The knocking on the door made the room even quieter.

Liang Hui’s mouth curved up, clearly knowing that Yang Shan had misunderstood something.

"It’s me, Qingcang."

The young man withdrew his hand and the smile faded from his face.

As his words fell, messy footsteps came from inside the room.

Creak!

The door opened.

Yang Shan was pale, clutching a mostly burnt pale yellow cloth strip.

"Taoist Master, save..."

Her trembling voice stopped abruptly when she saw the skeletal remains in Liang Hui’s grip.

Just one look, and an uncontrollable fear arose within her heart.

"No worries."

"Some minor pests have been dealt with."

The young man stepped forward, passing the girl and walking into the room.

The bed was disheveled, and there was a couch placed to one side.

Liang Hui sat down on the couch without hesitation, and his right hand loosened, placing the red skeletal remains on the floor.

"I need a lot of food; prepare it."

Liang Hui spoke bluntly.

He had saved the other’s life, and it was only natural that he asked for something in return.

"Okay, I will prepare it for the Taoist Master right now."

Yang Shan’s body trembled slightly, doing her best to suppress the fear in her heart.

"By the way, I sacrificed some people during the demon-exorcising."

Liang Hui’s hand caressed the couch, feeling the smooth sensation on his palm.

"If the security team comes asking, just tell them my address."

"The Taoist Master is joking; it’s only right to have some sacrifices for the removal of such demons."

"My Yang family has some influence in Lin’an City, and we will certainly clear things up for the Taoist Master."

Yang Shan’s expression was serious.
