It seemed like a long time from Dayan's shriek to Tiesi's severed arm, but in reality, it was only 20 to 30 seconds.
Hearing Tiesi's warning, Third Brother snapped out of his daze. He looked at Dayan's bloody body in the old house's courtyard and the giant centipede that was struggling on the ground with its severed arm tied together. The calmness on his face was long gone. He shrieked and ran to the door in a panic.
At that moment, the man next to him who had been acting very uneasy ever since he broke into the Zhang family's old house grabbed Third Brother. He said while clenching his teeth with a twisted expression, "Don't go. This is witchcraft. If we don't kill the person who cast it, we won't be able to escape death no matter where we go.
"Isn't the Zhang family's kid at the stove? We can only end this once and for all by killing him."
"You're crazy. Let go, let go. If you don't let go, I'll kill your whole family if I escape."
"You've been to so many places in your life. Where have you seen or heard of such a poisonous worm?
It's invulnerable and has black smoke coming out of its body. This is a wizard worm, a witchcraft spell that won't stop until you're dead. It'll be strange if you live for more than three days if you don't kill the Zhang family's kid. "
Hearing that, Third Brother was stunned. He stopped struggling and looked at the giant centipede that only appeared in sci-fi movies on the ground. He could not help but shift his gaze to the lonely kitchen on the south side of the old house's courtyard.
At that moment, Tiesi, whose face was pale with a few shades of greenish-black, dashed to the kitchen door in a few steps. He kicked the door hard with both of his legs.
Seeing this scene, Third Brother's expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, he clenched his teeth and hatefully said to the man whose face was covered in oil paint, "No wonder you said that no one would care even if you caused a ruckus in this old mansion.
"So this is a f * cking living haunted house." Together with him, he rushed to the old house's kitchen.
The Zhang family's old house's door was very sturdy. However, it was made of wood after all. Soon, the door latch loosened and the door cracked as the three men kicked and smashed the kitchen door without caring about anything else.
In the kitchen, Zhang Lisheng, who had commanded his wizard gu to kill a person and made the intruder who seemed to be the most powerful to sever his own arm, saw cracks appearing on the wooden door that was used to protect himself. Hastily, he piled pots, bowls, ladles, wooden cabinets, and wooden shelves behind the door to block the door.
At the same time, he kept chanting witchcraft incantations, trying his best to get Qing Hong to break free from the metal threads.
At this moment, he did not notice that under the catalysis of the extremely negative emotions of the three intruders outside the door who were terrified, despairing, and filled with hatred towards him, the wizard power in his body would increase a little every time he chanted an incantation.
Although the increment was very small, it accumulated over time. Unknowingly, it was already equivalent to the progress of his diligent cultivation for several months.
Outside the kitchen, Tiesi kicked with all his might. Finally, he kicked a big hole in the wooden door.
With the damage, the kitchen door quickly broke into pieces.
After the obstacles were removed, the three intruders kicked the junk under their feet and rushed into the old house's kitchen with fierce expressions, only to find that there was no one inside.
"The culprit escaped through the window." Tiesi, who was the calmest among them, said loudly as he looked around in the dark. He saw the moonlight shining through the kitchen's small window.
An adult could not pass through the small window at all. However, it was not a problem for a young man who was not even 160 centimeters tall and was extremely skinny to crawl in and out.
Indeed, Zhang Lisheng took the risk to climb out of the kitchen by opening the window at the very last moment when the intruders broke into the kitchen.
After jumping into the courtyard, he sprinted to his wizard gu that was trapped by the metal threads without hesitation. He spat two mouthfuls of blood to nourish Qing Hong without caring about anything else.
He then picked up the broken arm that was tied to the wizard gu and tore it with all his might. He did not care about the flesh and blood that was flying all over the broken arm.
Just when Zhang Lisheng was going to release his wizard gu, the intruders ran out of the kitchen.
Seeing the young man tearing the broken arm with blood all over his face like a devil under the moonlight, looking like he was eating a living person's limb raw, Third Brother felt numb in his scalp. The madness that was initially caused by fear and anger faded a lot without him knowing.
He pointed at Zhang Lisheng and shouted in a threatening manner, "The problem is in the courtyard, it's really him.
Tiesi, quick, quick, kill him now. "However, he was trembling a little and stopped moving.
In reality, Tiesi had already dashed towards Zhang Lisheng with all his might even without Third Brother's instruction. Although he had severed his arm to survive, he could not completely stop the wizard gu's poison from invading other parts of his body.
The continuous intense activity had caused the poison to take effect slowly, causing his speed, strength, and accuracy to lose their usual level.
Even so, Zhang Lisheng was in extreme danger when Tiesi got close to him. The difference between a weak junior high school student and a former special forces soldier who was now a professional criminal with martial arts was not something that could be made up with a healthy body and an extra arm.
He had no choice but to use the same trick again by tossing the broken arm and the wizard gu at Tiesi to fight for a chance to escape.
Tiesi, who knew that he did not have much time left, did not choose to dodge this time. Instead, he forcefully swung his saber at Zhang Lisheng while holding his broken arm and the wizard gu that had just broken free from the restraint of the thin metal thread.
The switchblade's blade reflected the moonlight and turned into a cold white light that flashed before Zhang Lisheng's eyes. A few strands of black hair fell from the top of his head. If it was not for the sticky and slippery blood under his feet that made him stagger, perhaps his skull would have been split into half.
After dodging the blade, Zhang Lisheng heard a faint whooshing sound.
Although he was calm, he could not help but feel goosebumps all over his body when he realized that Tiesi's speed of swinging the switchblade was faster than the sound.
Life and death were on the line. It would be ridiculous for him to care about the serious sequelae caused by the depletion of his blood essence. Zhang Lisheng was filled with malice. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat blood continuously.
Tiesi who was shrouded in the blood shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come and stop him, Third Brother. I can't take it anymore.
Stall him with one slash. He'll definitely die if I have the chance to slash him. "
Unfortunately, what he said had the opposite effect. Third Brother who knew how powerful Tiesi was did not summon his courage to charge at Zhang Lisheng. Instead, he ran towards the old house's gate.
The man whose face was covered in paint next to Third Brother cursed loudly when he saw him running away, "What mafia boss? You're just a coward.
F * ck your ancestors, you won't live more than three days even if you run away. "
He opened his arms and charged towards Zhang Lisheng. He seemed to be trying to hug this terrifying young man so that Tiesi could attack him.
However, just when he was charging, the blood mist that was shrouding Tiesi retracted. Subsequently, a loud buzzing sound came from the blood mist.
As the buzzing sound was heard, a centipede that was left with only a head and a small part of its body leaped from the ground and bit Tiesi's neck. It turned out that Qing Hong was urged by its owner's blood and broke off a large part of its body on its own. Finally, it gave its enemy a fatal blow.
The powerful Tiesi collapsed onto the ground within a second after being attacked by the wizard worm's poison from both inside and outside. He had lost his life.
After killing its most powerful enemy, Qing Hong relied on its remaining tens of limbs to crawl towards the intruder whose face was covered in paint who was charging towards Zhang Lisheng.
Seeing the wizard worm that was bathed in blood crawling towards him, the man who was initially charging towards Zhang Lisheng with a face full of malice collapsed.
He collapsed onto the ground and shouted while crying, "Mountain Worm, Mountain Worm, no, no, Old Man Lisheng, I'm your Brother Ermu, it's your Brother Ermu.
Please spare my life, spare my life. I … I was drunk, I was forced by them … "
"Brother Ermu, I knew it was you since the beginning.
If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid these foreigners wouldn't have the guts to break into my house so openly.
Since you dared to bring people to my Zhang family's door, you should have the guts to lose your life, don't you think so? " Zhang Lisheng had no intention of showing mercy when he was chanting the witchcraft incantation. He controlled Qing Hong to enter Ermu's body.
Ermu knew that it was hard for him to survive after the wizard worm entered his body. He grinned while enduring the pain and screamed, "You're right, Old Man Lisheng. Since I, He Qingmiao, stepped into your Zhang family, I deserve to die in your hands.
I'm hoping that you'll let my family go for the sake of me bringing you to see your father for the last time.
I, He Qingmiao, will kowtow to you here, I'll kowtow to you … "
His body was shaking intensely as he spoke. He could not stop kowtowing to Zhang Lisheng.
"We're from the same village, I won't kill your family even if you don't beg for mercy. Rest in peace."
Hearing Zhang Lisheng's promise, a gratified smile appeared on Ermu's face. In the end, he stopped breathing while maintaining his kowtowing posture.
Out of the four people who broke into the Zhang family's old house, three of them were dead. Only Third Brother was left, who had stiff limbs and could not escape from the old house's door even after a long time.
Zhang Lisheng was actually at the end of his rope at the moment. Without any hesitation, he controlled his wizard worm to crawl toward the last intruder who was still alive after killing Ermu.
Third Brother, who was messing with the door latch randomly, only snapped back to his senses from fear when the poisonous worm bit him. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Friend, friend, don't be so ruthless.
I'm here for money, just money.
Now I've made a mistake and I'm willing to buy my life with money. One million, two million, if that's not enough, eight million, ten million. Give me a number, give me a number … "
