Chapter 397: Chapter 372: The Perverted Killer (Part 1)

On the other side.

Yang Xin felt a shadow trailing her relentlessly, instilling great fear in her heart.

The only light came from the flickering street lamps, and the shops along the streets were all shut. The road was so silent that not a single car was in sight.

At first, the figure had merely followed her from a distance, but now it was blatantly trailing right behind her.

When Yang Xin looked back, she could only see a murky darkness, and the person was wearing a Ghost Mask, which looked extremely terrifying.

Yang Xin quickened her pace, but the figure matched her speed, maintaining a constant distance. It was as if a cat were toying with a mouse.

Yang Xin had seen news about the recent serial killings in Linchuan City and had a vague feeling that the person following her might be the murderer behind those crimes.

Li Chen, you have to come quickly!

Yang Xin was extremely anxious. She wanted to seek help from nearby shops or pedestrians, but there wasn’t a soul in sight.

The following figure kept up the chase. It felt as if it was constantly oppressing Yang Xin’s nerves. At first, she managed to withstand the pressure, but as time passed, her fear intensified and it seemed like the surrounding darkness was invading her very being.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Yang Xin suddenly stopped, turned around, and shouted loudly at the shadow behind her.

The shadow stopped but the expression beneath the mask mocked her. If one could see its eyes, they would notice a covetous glare filled with hidden malice.

The masked man did not respond, instead, he slowly started walking toward Yang Xin.

The area felt terribly empty, with nothing in sight. Growing even more nervous, Yang Xin yelled again, "Are you the murderer?"

The other party still didn’t reply, just kept walking towards Yang Xin, each step seemingly seizing control of her Mind Spirit.

The dread intensified.

Fearful, Yang Xin turned and began to run. However, wearing high heels made her slow and due to the mounting panic, she stumbled.

Her left high heel suddenly slid off and Yang Xin had no time to pick it up. She turned back to see the shadowed figure seemingly catching up and hurriedly ran forward in a panic.

Yang Xin was terrified. At this moment, she saw a group of people ahead. Her eyes lit up as she sprinted towards them, trying to scream for help. But just then, she felt a sudden presence from behind.

Therefore, Yang Xin was uncontrollably pulled backward!

...

Li Chen was moving fast, harnessing all his True Qi, he reached the street where Yang Xin was in just a few minutes.

When he arrived, the street was desolate, sinking Li Chen’s heart. He hurriedly began to search ahead.

Suddenly, Li Chen noticed a high heel lying quietly on the ground.

This discovery made Li Chen even more anxious as he continued to chase forward.

Meanwhile, in an alley, the masked man cornered Yang Xin. As he looked at her trembling and frightened face, he seemed to be admiring a piece of art.

"What a wonderful beauty, I will be able to relish the pleasure of removing her heart!"

"Don’t come any closer," Yang Xin was terrified, holding a bag, ready to hit him hard if he approached.

"Don’t be scared, you will become my permanent collection," the voice of the masked man came, cruel in tone, "Once I remove your heart, your pain will be gone."

As the man got closer, fear completely enveloped Yang Xin’s mind, and her hand holding the bag trembled, "Don’t come any closer! I’ve called my boyfriend. If you approach, he won’t let you off."

"Boyfriend?" The voice behind the mask remained unchanged, "No matter, I will make you my collection right in front of him. Your beauty deserves to be witnessed."

Seeing him act like a madman, Yang Xin felt hope was faint and feared Li Chen might not arrive in time to save her.

However, Yang Xin didn’t give up and screamed loudly, "Help! Is anyone there? Help!"

"Do you think anyone will come to save you?" Behind the mask was a crazed laugh, filled with lunacy.

"No one will save you, they’ll only find your body!"

As soon as the masked man finished speaking, he lunged at Yang Xin, eager to rip out the heart of the beauty before him!

He anticipated the pleasure of her despair, feeling the heart beating "thump thump" in his hands—the sensation was too wonderful!

With her eyes closed, Yang Xin swung her purse forward fiercely, but such an attack seemed trivial in the eyes of the masked man.

Soon, he would harvest her heart!

A crazy gleam passed through the eyes of the masked man, but just then, a cold snort came from behind him, exploding beside his ears like thunder!

Furthermore, an unseen terrifying Qi Force appeared behind him as if carrying the weight of a thousand mountains, pressing towards him. Even before it closed in, an oppressive aura was felt!

Someone, a master!

These words flashed through his mind. Almost instantly, he abandoned his attack on Yang Xin and turned towards the person behind him.

Quickly turning around, he struck with a palm, but Li Chen’s strike met his directly. In an instant, their Palm Forces collided, but the masked man was repelled by the surging True Qi, even letting out a muffled grunt.

He looked forward, and upon seeing Li Chen’s face, his previously unchanging tone suddenly rose hysterically, "You?"
