Chapter 98: Zombie Blood

“You’re looking for death!”

A flash of killing intent appeared in Wei Ziqing’s eyes.

He never expected that Jin Zhengzhong would actually try to kill him, and he immediately wanted to draw the Demon-Subduing Sword to kill him back!

However, seeing Kuang Tianyou and the others present, it would be unwise to be so obvious. He did not move and let the man crash into him instead. He stumbled backward and looked as if he were about to fall off the Jiajia Building.

“Hmph, I don’t believe you can survive a fall from this height!” Seeing that Wei Ziqing was about to fall, Jin Zhengzhong’s eyes lit up with joy. If he accidentally knocked Wei Ziqing down and the man died, he would only need to say it was not intentional, and who could blame him?

Regardless, he could no longer live in the Jiajia Building anyway, so he could just leave afterward!

However, at that moment, Jin Zhengzhong’s expression suddenly changed. In the instant Wei Ziqing was about to fall, the desire to survive made the young man frantically grab for something to stabilize himself. With this grab, he happened to seize Jin Zhengzhong’s hand. In an instant, Jin Zhengzhong lost control and tumbled over the edge of the rooftop.

As for Wei Ziqing, because of that grab, he managed to steady himself!

“Ahhh…!”

A scream rang out. Jin Zhengzhong smashed hard onto the small car below that imprisoned countless wronged souls and fierce ghosts. Blood dripped slowly from the roof of the car.

“No, Zhengzhong!” downstairs, Jin Ma let out a heartbreaking cry of grief, while the rooftop of the Jiajia Building became eerily quiet.

Jin Zhengzhong had actually died…

This…

Wei Ziqing stood by the edge of the rooftop with a cold smile. He felt no pity for Jin Zhengzhong’s death. If the man wanted to kill him, he should have been prepared to die himself!

But when he saw the man fall onto that car, his expression suddenly changed and became complex.

…

“What? You said that charlatan fell onto a car full of wronged souls and fierce ghosts, inhaled countless resentments and evil energies, and said he would return on the Night of Return to take a life?”

Upon meeting Wei Ziqing and Kuang Tianyou after the salvation ritual and hearing the account of the events, Ma Xiaoling’s face changed completely.

One must know that after a person dies, they inhale one last breath of Life Aura in the living world. The stronger the Life Aura they inhale, the more strength they will have on the Night of Return. However, what Jin Zhengzhong inhaled was not Life Aura, but the resentment, evil energy, and grievances of countless wronged souls and ghosts gathered on Sanpo Day. How could this not cause her expression to change?

More importantly, she heard that before Jin Zhengzhong died, he said he would return to take a life. Although he didn’t say whose, Uncle Qiu, Ma Xiaoling, and the others knew that Wei Ziqing had martial arts skills. They immediately knew who Jin Zhengzhong wanted to target!

Because they clearly knew that Jin Zhengzhong had tried to kill Wei Ziqing but ended up falling to his death instead!

Ma Xiaoling looked angrily at Wei Ziqing, who stood to the side with a frown. She didn’t know how he had offended that charlatan to the point where the man wanted to kill him!

“Uncle Qiu, do you know what happens if someone inhales countless resentments and evil energies and dies on Sanpo Day?” Despite her complaints, Ma Xiaoling knew this was a serious matter and immediately questioned Uncle Qiu.

Uncle Qiu’s expression was a bit bitter. How could he know? Just as he was about to speak, Wei Ziqing, who had been standing silently to the side, spoke up.

“No need to ask, I know!”

“You know?” Ma Xiaoling, Kuang Tianyou, and Uncle Qiu were stunned. Wei Ziqing actually knew? Had he been thinking about this just now? Ma Xiaoling couldn’t help but ask urgently, “Tell us, what will happen?”

“A Hungry Shura!” Wei Ziqing took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Someone who dies at this time and returns on the Night of Return is not an ordinary ghost, but a Hungry Shura!”

To be honest, Wei Ziqing didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that Jin Zhengzhong died on that car, effectively following the fate that Luo Kaiping was originally supposed to have.

Was a Hungry Shura terrifying? Of course. The most recent appearance of a Hungry Shura was during World War I in a German military camp. Back then, a camp of thousands of Germans was turned into a living Hell by that Hungry Shura!

Still, despite this, Wei Ziqing did not regret it. Since Jin Zhengzhong wanted to kill him, what was wrong with killing him back?

“Fine. Since you want to take my life, then I don’t mind beating your soul into oblivion once more!” A flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes. Ignoring the stunned crowd, he turned around and walked out of the electronics store.

“Wait, Wei Ziqing, stop! You haven’t said how to deal with that Hungry Shura!” Ma Xiaoling shouted at Wei Ziqing’s back, but his footsteps did not stop.

He only replied indifferently, “It’s simple: a debt of blood is paid with blood!”

…

Returning to the Jiajia Building, Wei Ziqing did nothing. He just stood quietly on the balcony, looking at the moonlight.

The moonlight tonight seemed strange, carrying a hint of gloom. Even though the crisis of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons had passed, it was still Sanpo Day, and the resentments and evil energies had not yet dissipated!

“A Hungry Shura, huh?” Although he had acted very calm in the electronics store, when he was alone and quiet, Wei Ziqing became a bit worried.

Could he deal with a Hungry Shura?

It would be difficult!

In the original story, even Ma Xiaoling could not deal with it, let alone himself, who had only just mastered the “Lin” section of the Nine Word Mantra!

However, waiting for death was absolutely impossible. Now, there was only one path left before him!

Knock, knock…

There was a sudden knock at the door. Wei Ziqing was slightly stunned, then he realized who the visitor was. Who else could it be but Kuang Tianyou?

Sure enough, after a moment, Kuang Tianyou appeared beside Wei Ziqing, holding two cups of coffee. “Want to chat?”

“About what?” Wei Ziqing took the coffee from Kuang Tianyou, took a sip, and spoke indifferently without looking back.

“About the Hungry Shura.” Kuang Tianyou still didn’t like to talk, and just like Wei Ziqing, he was a man of few words.

However, the two were different. Wei Ziqing was steady, while Kuang Tianyou had a weathered air. And women were most fascinated by men with that kind of weathered feeling!

Wei Ziqing smiled faintly, feeling somewhat touched in his heart, but he shook his head. “You can’t help me. A debt of blood is paid with blood; it must be this way. He is looking for me, so it has nothing to do with you!”

Kuang Tianyou remained silent for a moment. He didn’t understand, but knowing Wei Ziqing’s personality, he knew that Wei Ziqing would never lie to him!

Looking at the silent Kuang Tianyou, Wei Ziqing opened his mouth and after a long time, asked, “Do you really want to help me?”

“As long as I can!” Kuang Tianyou nodded. Wei Ziqing was considered his friend now, and he would not be stingy with his help.

“In that case, give me a bottle of your Zombie Blood. It will be very helpful to me!” Wei Ziqing knew he was being very direct, but he had no choice; he had run out of time!

If he missed this chance, he didn’t know when he would have another opportunity to obtain the Zombie Blood! Therefore, he chose to be open about it!
