Chapter 63: 61: Ancestral Hall

Smack!

Su Heng threw the shattered bones and rotten flesh he was holding onto the ground and stomped on them, bursting them open.

He heard an angry voice coming through and first looked around before lowering his head to see a chubby man in front of him, yelling his head off at him.

In the dim moonlight, Su Heng could make out the chubby man's face.

"You are... Luo Tong," he recalled the previous incident on the upper floors of the crimson building, then looked at the chubby man's tear-streaked, near-collapse expression.

"Your family wasn't killed by me, and my reasons for being here have nothing to do with you," Su Heng explained calmly.

Upon hearing this, the little fatty's sobbing shoulders gradually ceased.

He reached up to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and lifted his head, "Really?"

"Of course it's true," Su Heng countered, "Do I have a reason to lie to you?"

Luo Tong cocked his head and pondered; he realized that his life was indeed in someone else's hands.

He was silent for a short while and then squeezed out two words, leaving Su Heng speechless on the spot.

"Thank you," Luo Tong said to Su Heng sincerely.

"No... You're welcome," the corner of Su Heng's mouth twitched as he replied with a strained face.

This guy... was stupid to a certain degree, making Su Heng not even want to kill him personally.

He stepped aside to clear the path behind him, "Leave quickly, that thing behind is about to catch up."

He remembered the tragedy that had taken place in the ancestral hall and his father's last instructions.

Luo Tong nodded gratefully.

Trotting, he ducked into the mist behind Su Heng.

But he hadn't gone two steps when he suddenly toppled over with a thud, wriggling a few times before quickly becoming motionless.

Even though Luo Tong was of the direct line of the Luo Family,

Due to various special reasons, he hadn't crossed the threshold of the human body's limits.

Encountering the highly poisonous fungal species created by Su Heng, he died instantly.

Since he had already decided to kill and silence, he could not hesitate or show mercy, even to an ordinary person like Luo Tong.

It's just that...

As Su Heng made his way forward, he hadn't encountered much fierce resistance.

Although part of the reason was the increase in his strength, more importantly, it was due to some internal upheaval within the fortress.

Su Heng continued onward.

The scent of blood in the surrounding environment became thicker, and the shadows of the trees on both sides swayed, looking like clawed demons.

The mournful wailing sounds came from the distant mountains.

Su Heng lowered his head and entered the ancestral hall.

His pupils constricted slightly; the ancestral tablets inside had been smashed and destroyed.

Blood was everywhere underfoot, giving a notably sticky sensation when stepped upon. Then there were the bodies, lying in all directions in each corner of the ancestral hall.

Each body died in a gruesome manner.

With faces frozen in horror and agony, their chests and abdomens cruelly ripped open, their internal organs emptied out, as if gnawed upon by wild beasts in the forest.

Drip-drop!

A drop of thick, crimson blood fell into the pool of blood, causing ripples.

Su Heng looked up; the darkness above the ancestral hall was substantial, and he could only vaguely see several thick beams.

In addition to the smell of blood, the air carried a dense demonic scent, yet Su Heng saw no sign of the demon.

Obviously...

This demon must possess some special innate talent for concealing itself, just like the once Shadow Asura.

Hiss—

As Su Heng furrowed his brow, deep in thought, searching for a strategy,

A sharp, piercing sound of slicing air suddenly exploded by his ear. He instinctively dodged to the side, and a streak of black light grazed his cheek, slowly cutting off two strands of his hair.

His thick eyebrows furrowed tightly as he looked down at the corpse in front of him, which had, unbeknownst to him, opened its eyes.

At this moment, it was gaping its bloody maw, tearing towards Su Heng with a bite.

Seeing this scene,

Su Heng was reminded of the rotting corpses he had once seen in Changqing County, and a sudden rage flared within him.

"Since you're already dead, stay in hell where you belong!"

Bang!

Su Heng's eyes flashed with ferocity.

He threw a punch directly, smashing it down violently.

In the huge explosion, the Luo Family elder's head was instantly blown apart by this punch, with plenty of brain matter and blood splattering everywhere.

The other corpses that shakily stood up from the ground were no different; Su Heng smashed and crushed them one by one.

The eerie ancestral hall once again returned to silence.

"Hiss..."

A harsh gasp came from the beams above the ancestral hall.

Su Heng looked up sharply.

The darkness looming above his head seemed to have dissipated slightly, and a huge and ferocious beastly shadow emerged in front of Su Heng.

It was a strange creature resembling a goat, with a body over three meters long and muscles as red and explosive as covered with steel needle-like sparse hair. At its chest was a fierce and greedy human face, its wide mouth opened to reveal rows of sharp teeth dripping with blood-colored saliva, forming strands several meters long.

"Hee hee hee..."

The human face let out a bizarre laugh, "I didn't expect not only to avenge my great grievances today and regain freedom but also to have sweet treats walk right to my doorstep. What a double blessing!"

Roar!

The human face's eyes were blood-red as it opened its mouth wide and let out a terrifying roar at Su Heng.

Ahhhhhhh!!!

With the terrifying scream that surged from its mouth, rings of transparent ripples appeared out of nowhere, echoing and spreading back and forth throughout the entire ancestral hall.

Where the transparent waves passed, the surrounding walls and floors cracked, and even the beams couldn't bear the load, revealing irregular cracks as wide as a finger.

Su Heng, who faced this terrifying roar directly, found his clothes tearing apart inch by inch, quickly reduced to tattered rags draping around him. His current appearance was... considered worse than a beggar on the streets.

"Fuck you!"

Su Heng slowly lowered the arm that he had been using to shield himself, his eyes filled with ferocity.

Boom!

He punched the wall beside him.

The wall exploded instantly, half of the ancestral hall collapsing with a muffled bang, dust billowing everywhere, obscuring vision.

The demon perched on the rafter seemed completely unprepared.

After taking a direct hit from it, Su Heng managed to strike back as if nothing had happened.

As the structure of the ancestral hall collapsed, the demon also lost its balance, falling along with the rafters.

From within the dust, a swollen, blood-engorged hand the size of a fan shot out.

The fingers spread out, each one popping the air.

Catalyzing a white airflow,

It landed heavily on the demon's face, swung up, then smashed down.

Boom!

The ground trembled violently once again.

A web of cracks spread across the hard bluestone floor, and a pit over two meters in diameter suddenly appeared beneath Su Heng's feet. At the center of the pit, the demon's head had completely exploded and vanished, with blood gushing from the indistinct neck and chest cavity, pooling into a stinking pond of blood.

He had dispatched the demon with a single move.

But Su Heng wasn't in the mood to relax; instead, his thick eyebrows knitted together, and a blood-red "?" formed on his forehead.

The demon that had nearly wiped out the entire Luo Family was eliminated so effortlessly.

What kind of a joke is this?
