Chapter 272: Chapter 272: How Many Times Can You Kill the Undying?

"This cat really looks quite fierce, I bet no one would know it has any cat in it unless I said something."

Han Fei had accepted the hidden task of adopting a pet, but he wasn’t sure who would end up taking care of whom in the future.

The pet shop owner had the ability to imprison a medium-level resentment, which meant their power definitely exceeded that of the medium-level resentment. Simply crying wouldn’t suffice to control the other party.

To ensure nothing would go wrong, Han Fei had called all the neighbors from the Spiritual Altar.

If going one-on-one wouldn’t work, they’d resort to a group beating, and if that failed, they’d just get more people—after all, the target could run, but it couldn’t hide.

The shrill and desperate cries enveloped the pet shop, and the lanky Li Zai stretched lazily, releasing his younger brother, Li Nan.

After following Han Fei out of Beast Alley, the neighbors had undergone a fundamental change in strength.

"Meat! I want to eat even more meat!" Li Nan’s eyes were bloodshot, and his dark skin was covered in bloodstains, exuding an aura of disaster and ominous foreboding.

His fists, larger than the head of an adult, smashed down fiercely. Like a god of death, he charged toward the cat-faced monster, devoid of any emotion like fear or dread in his mind.

In the past, the neighbors all lived in their own rooms with no interactions. They did not know much about each other, but with Han Fei’s help, these once-strangers gradually accepted one another and learned to cooperate—a rare and wonderful sight in the Deep World.

Li Nan took the lead in a head-on collision with the cat-faced monster, using Cry to create despair and disturb the enemy, limiting its range of movement, while Yinglong stood guard beside Han Fei, hands gathering power, ready to seize the monster and give Han Fei the chance to deliver the final blow.

The residents of Happiness Residential Community worked together seamlessly, yet they still underestimated the monster’s horrid nature.

Every single hair on its body contained a curse; its heart and soul were pieced together too, somewhat like the Curse Aggregation known as Xu Qin.

Except, Xu Qin was entirely constructed from curses, while it was made from numerous animals and human residual souls.

Cry’s despair was mainly effective against grudges, and the monster’s inner despair was minimal. Instead, it harbored an intense hatred of people.

If left unchecked, the monster might one day make a breakthrough and evolve into something more terrifying and purer than a grudge—a manifestation of pure hatred.

"Bang!"

The cat-faced monster and Li Nan collided, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Many of the bloodlines on the monster’s body burst open, and chunks of animal remains fell out, from which one could vaguely hear whimpering sounds.

Li Nan wasn’t faring any better; his back to his chest had been deeply scratched by the cat-faced monster.

Through the wound in Li Nan’s chest, one could even see Li Zai, who lay dormant within his body.

Both the monster and Li Nan were injured, but Li Nan’s wounds kept widening, while the monster’s injuries were healing rapidly.

In terms of recovery ability, Li Nan was completely outmatched by the monster.

Almost immune to attacks on the mind and emotions, possessing an incredibly strong Soul Body, with speed and strength far surpassing anyone present, and having a rapid ability to recover from injuries—aside from seemingly low intelligence, the monster seemed to have no weaknesses.

"Yinglong, you go help too!" Han Fei, holding the Spiritual Altar, retreated once more. His eyes were fixed on the spot on the cat-faced monster’s chest where the bloodlines hadn’t fully merged, leaving a fine cut.

"That monster is the pet shop owner, holding the home-field advantage. We can’t drag this out; it needs to be a quick battle."

Summoning the Black Giant Python that lurked in the shadows into the Ghost Pattern, Han Fei’s body temperature dropped in an instant. Enduring pain unbearable for ordinary people, he gained an increase in physical strength and resistance.

Dark Energy covered his body’s surface, and Han Fei, who was proficient with high-level blades, gripped the hilt of his saber tightly.

He put down the Spiritual Altar, focussed fully, and stared at the cat-faced monster that was now surrounded by the three neighbors.

His breathing slowed, Han Fei’s hand holding the saber made careful adjustments to its position, and when the monster was again struck by Li Nan against the wall, losing balance, he lunged forward.

With pupils narrowed, he fixed his gaze on the monster’s chest. Han Fei darted through the gap between the three resentments and then decisively swung the saber!

"Rebirth!"

The bright blade emerged in an instant, cutting across the monster’s chest like a fallen streak of the Milky Way.

Blood splattered, and the wound on the monster’s chest tore open, releasing one captive Dead Soul after another from within its body.

"It didn’t kill it?" Han Fei had waited a long time for this opportunity, but the Rebirth Saber didn’t immediately kill the monster, possibly because it rarely took life.

Clutching his torn chest, the cat-faced monster’s speed became slower and slower.

As its wounds increased in number, just when Han Fei thought the victory was secured, a human-like smile suddenly appeared on the monster’s cracked mouth.

It gave Han Fei a look that felt bizarre, as if waking up at midnight and suddenly finding one’s pet lion grinning by the bedside, staring back at oneself.

Its mouth, covered in animal fur, slowly opened, and the cat-faced monster began to speak strange words again.

"If you play with pets often, pay attention to hygiene. Not only should you bathe your pets regularly, but you also should wash your hands, take showers, and change clothes in a timely manner!"

After saying that, it grasped the wounds on its chest with both hands and then tore forcefully!

The chilling sound of skin peeling entered one’s ears as the cat-faced monster shed its scarred skin, revealing a brand new body underneath.

The red on its fur shone brighter, and its claws and fangs became even sharper!

"It’s healed?" Han Fei looked on incredulously at the cat-faced monster. Apart from the wounds inflicted by the Rebirth Saber, all other injuries on the monster seemed to have vanished, as if it had been reborn anew.

"Peeling off a layer of skin means gaining another life?" Han Fei glanced at the veterinarian next to him. The latter obviously knew about this but hadn’t informed Han Fei, "What kind of monster have you created?"

At this moment, the veterinarian cowered in a corner, trembling with fear, as if scared out of his wits.

After shedding its skin, the hatred within the cat-faced monster became even more evident. It must be related to the veterinarian, and one could only wonder how much torture and suffering it had endured.

The monster’s speed was now incredibly fast. Li Nan and Yinglong couldn’t keep up, and their injuries steadily increased.

Out of the three neighbors, only Cry remained unharmed. This child, who seemed most easily ignored, was slowly gathering together despair and wails.

Before anyone noticed, it was already about to construct a cage with its despair.

Li Nan and Yinglong were barely holding on, and as Cry reached a crucial moment, the neighbors could not afford to be distracted. The veterinarian, who had been hiding in the corner, began to slowly move his body.

He converged all his breath and covered his face with the remnants of his broken mask.

The veterinarian’s plan was sound: to take advantage of the chaos and find an opportunity to flee. To achieve his goal, he had only given Han Fei limited information.

As the door grew nearer, a malicious look flashed in the veterinarian’s eyes. He stealthily glanced back, just as Han Fei gripped the knife in his hand again.

"Kill, no matter how many times you do it, you can’t kill it."

The veterinarian cursed Han Fei in his heart, watching as Han Fei once again swung the terrifying Slaughter Saber—not at the cat-faced monster this time, but at him!

"Me?"

The veterinarian’s mental defenses, along with his arm, were shattered, and as he felt the pain piercing his soul, a look of incomprehension appeared on his face.

Despite the presence of a powerful enemy, Han Fei seemed resolved to kill him first.

"Are you mad?!"

Han Fei sealed the door, and the weak veterinarian, trying to evade, could only dodge towards the center of the room.

At that moment, Yinglong, who should have been attacking the cat-faced monster, suddenly struck at the veterinarian’s face, shattering the already damaged mask.

The veterinarian’s suppressed breath instantly came out, and he realized his peril.

Focusing on his breath, the cat-faced monster gradually stopped attacking everyone else and locked its blood-red eyes onto the veterinarian steadfastly.

Before the veterinarian could react, Yinglong and Han Fei launched another attack, cornering him to a specific spot in the room, where the cat-faced monster also charged at him directly.

As man and beast met again, Cry completed the final step of the Despair Cage, trapping both the veterinarian and the cat-faced monster with threads woven from despair.

The veterinarian wanted to use Han Fei to hold off the monster while he sought to escape. Han Fei planned to use the veterinarian as bait, luring the monster into the cage.

"Did you think I’d forget the grudge after what you did to Xu Qin?" Han Fei said, looking at the veterinarian being overwhelmed by the cat-faced monster inside the Despair Cage, "I was going to give you a chance to make amends for your crimes, but I never thought you’d be less compassionate than a monster."

Allowing the cat-faced monster to unleash its inner hatred, Han Fei once again opened Cry’s Spiritual Altar as pairs of eyes opened in the deepest part of the pet shop.

Ying Yue, having accepted Han Fei’s gift, also agreed to his invitation and followed him out of the Happiness Residential Community.
