“My child!~”
The crying continued, but gradually it became shrill, and everyone noticed that the heart-wrenching wailing was slowly diminishing, until it finally disappeared without a trace.
And Liu Shi, who was lie on the coffin, now seemed to have cried out her last bit of strength, lying motionless on the coffin. From everyone's perspective, they couldn't see Liu Shi's face.
But this sudden silence, coupled with the previous readiness of the Jiang Family head and the other masters, made everyone around them a bit uncertain and caused them to inch backward.
Jiang Heng was already on the periphery, and at this moment, he subtly shrank back, hiding behind his Third Uncle.
Although he didn't know what was going on, it was always better to be cautious.
Ever since witnessing his Third Uncle's strength, Jiang Heng realized that he had become unfamiliar with this world once again. Or rather, he had never truly understood it.
Hiss! Hiss!~
Just then, Liu Shi suddenly made a series of sounds again, but this time it was very strange; there was no wailing, just continuous gasping sounds like someone on their deathbed, with low and very eerie breathing.
Click! Click!
Then, Liu Shi's head began to emit a series of bone-cracking sounds. To everyone's horror, her head twisted 180 degrees directly to her back, revealing a numb but eerily smiling face!
“Mistress… Mistress!” Xiao Yan, Liu Shi’s personal maid, covered her mouth and gasped in fright, her small face turning incredibly pale.
Jiang Heng's mother, Dou Shi, was much the same; all the female family members were scared stiff on the spot. The family retainers and the Escort Agency's workers were slightly better, but they were still trembling with fear.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Heng felt his scalp tingle. Although horror scenes that blurred the line between reality and fiction were common in his previous life's movies and TV shows, watching them in a film and seeing them with one's own eyes in reality was an absolute world of difference!
“Hiss! Hiss!~”
As if seeing living people, Liu Shi, who no longer resembled a living person at all, now crawled on the ground on all fours, back facing down, front facing up, in a highly deformed and twisted manner, completely disregarding the limits of bone endurance, and suddenly leaped onto the coffin.
Her eyes, which were now completely as if stained with ink, were scanning the people around her.
“Sword! Bring me a sword!” Jiang Erhai, the Jiang Family head, roared, veins bulging on his forehead.
The retainer finally managed to get the sword and ran over, but after seeing the situation in the main hall, he was so terrified that he couldn't move.
“Useless!”
Jiang Erhai cursed, but at this moment, Liu Shi on the coffin seemed to be attracted by the sound from this side. The next moment, like a leaping human spider, she pounced directly at Jiang Erhai, with a sinister smile on her twisted face.
At the last moment, the retainer was still somewhat useful, mustering his courage to directly throw the blade to Jiang Erhai. Jiang Erhai, receiving the blade, moved with extreme agility. His robust figure did not affect his nimbleness at all, as he drew the sword directly in mid-air.
A snowy streak of light cut through the air.
“Kill!”
A flash of the sword in Jiang Father's hand.
The blade in his hand slashed out fiercely, seemingly with a sound of tearing air, incredibly powerful and swift, instantly meeting Liu Shi who was pouncing.
The moment the blade struck Liu Shi, everyone felt a flash before their eyes. The next moment, Liu Shi, who was no longer human, had already appeared on the other side of Jiang Father.
Jiang Father's seemingly fierce and domineering strike had missed?
“So fast!”
Jiang Heng, who had been observing, felt his heart pound. He had thought that a Martial Artist was already very powerful, but in front of this so-called Ghost, they seemed to be somewhat difficult to suppress?
At this moment, Jiang Father, without thinking, as if he had anticipated it, suddenly unleashed several rapid slashes around himself.
Bang!
The nearby tables and chairs were directly cut, and at the same time, the table displaying the eldest young master's relics was also severed in half by a single strike, scattering the relics all over the floor.
Seeing this, the masters present seemed to have no intention of helping, and judging by their expressions, they even seemed somewhat wary, as if fearing being touched by Liu Shi, who had completely transformed into a malevolent spirit. Each of them retreated as far as possible.
“Anyone who isn't dead, get out of my way!” Jiang Father roared, and actually charged towards Liu Shi again.
This scene no longer resembled the usual affectionate relationship between husband and wife; it was completely like sworn enemies with a blood feud confronting each other.
Two figures entangled in the main hall. Liu Shi seemed very afraid of being slashed by the blade, while Jiang Father seemed somewhat wary of being touched by Liu Shi. However, Jiang Father, wielding his sword, attacked with more strategy. Liu Shi, completely devoid of humanity, was quickly struck several times. Her strength seemed to be cut away by the blade, and her speed gradually slowed down.
“Die!”
Finally cornering Liu Shi, Jiang Father leaped high, raising the blade in his hand and slashing down mercilessly, his face flushed red from the continuous exertion of Qi and blood!
“Kill!”
Puff!
The gleaming blade slashed down directly. The next moment, Jiang Father actually retreated instead of advancing, taking several steps back before stopping.
Then, a line of blood appeared on Liu Shi's beautiful face, which still carried a hint of an eerie smile. The bloodline extended from her chest, and the next moment, *Pfft!* Countless black-red blood exploded from the bloodline, and at the same time, Liu Shi exploded!
Bang!
The mutilated corpse fell, completely lifeless.
Seeing this, Jiang Father finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Huh!
Jiang Heng looked at the blood on the ground, his brows suddenly raised. After the blood splattered on the ground, it actually emitted green smoke.
It's corrosive!
No wonder they didn't dare to touch it!
Jiang Heng's face was grim after witnessing the entire process. Any novelty he had felt about this world had completely vanished. The interest in martial arts that had been sparked by his Third Uncle was now growing wildly in his heart.
He had initially thought that his cheap father's casual treatment of his eldest son's corpse was a very heartless act, but after seeing the entire process, Jiang Heng no longer held his previous thoughts. For the first time, he understood the terror of Ghosts!
He must be able to protect himself!
Having experienced Rebirth, although he didn't know the true face of this world at first, he had occasionally heard some strange occurrences from Lai Fu and Xiao Rou.
For example, in this city, he had personally encountered several funerals. And grand funerals like these were not something ordinary people could afford to hold. Who knew how many people might have died in secret!
Perhaps the deaths of these people were related to these strange occurrences!
Thinking of this, Jiang Heng felt a subtle sense of urgency in his heart.
Is the Jiang Family strong in Hengjiang County?
Yes, strong!
And they are the strongest, second to none!
Yet, even so, the Jiang Family's first heir died just like that today! And he even caused the death of his mother!
“When will I also become like this?”
Looking from afar in the direction of the coffin, the gloom on Jiang Heng's face flashed and disappeared.
