Chapter 19 Fear
Swish!
In the rain, a dark green slender figure flashed by like a swimming fish and jumped into a dark alley only one foot wide.

Boom!

After a moment, there was a loud bang.

A huge figure like a pitch-black chariot rushed straight into it.

The walls on both sides of the alley cracked and collapsed, making continuous loud noises and emitting thick smoke. From mid-air, it looked like a giant ochre-colored dragon charging and roaring forward.

The walls collapsed and tore apart, and in the gray-brown smoke, a dark green figure rushed towards a house nearby.

boom!
Su Heng threw a punch through the air.

The terrifying fist force squeezed the air, forming a dense white shock wave.

The already rotten beams broke and collapsed under the tremendous force, and half of the house turned into ruins, exposing the mother and son who were hugging each other and shivering in the other half of the house.

The mother and son both looked horrified.

The child, who was about seven or eight years old, opened his mouth and couldn't help but scream.

But her mother covered her mouth tightly, and her eyes revealed uncontrollable fear.

Boom!

Su Heng jumped high into the air and fell from the sky.

The house shook again, and a large amount of dust fell. The ruins were completely compacted, forming a pit with a diameter of several meters.

Wow!

The broken rubble loosened, and the seriously injured water ghost rushed towards the mother and son.

Su Heng snorted coldly, his eyes were distorted with blood, a large amount of positive energy poured into his throat, and a sonic boom of terrifying power exploded in the air in a cone shape.

The water ghost was struck by lightning.

He was frozen in mid-air, and a ball of blood exploded on his body.

It let out a scream, fell to the ground, and with a crisp crackling sound coming from its body, it quickly jumped to the other side.

Su Heng glanced at the mother and son, threw down a piece of silver as compensation, and continued to chase them.

Swish!
He leapt into the rain.

Follow the water ghost into an empty street.

A large number of infected corpses appeared in the houses on both sides of the street, hundreds and thousands of them, like an army, blocking Su Heng's way.

The water ghosts hid in the complex residential areas.
As long as it can find a well, it can access a huge and complex underground water system.

By then, the fish will return to the sea and the birds will return to the mountains and forests, and they will be completely free and no longer have to live in fear like they do now.

Demons possess considerable intelligence, and some can even hide in the city.

This water ghost in front of me,

He had been frightened by Su Heng and was marked.

It never intends to appear in this city again. It wants to stay away and grow again in another place.

however……

It doesn't have a second chance.

Demons are feared by mortals because they eat humans.

But to Su Heng at this moment, demons and monsters were nothing more than food for him.

In the eyes of the demon,

Isn’t Su Heng also a natural enemy of another level, a more terrifying demon?

The arms with dark and tangled veins were wrapped in the hot anode steam, sweeping horizontally and chopping vertically, and the scene of blood and flesh flying was everywhere in front of the eyes.

A thousand human corpses,
In less than ten breaths, he was killed by Su Heng.

The green figure of the water ghost sank into a deserted courtyard and disappeared from Su Heng's sight.

However, it doesn't matter.

Su Heng could smell the scent emanating from the water ghost.

He figured out the direction, put force on his feet, sprinted forward, and then jumped high.

A moment later, a series of loud roars came from the abandoned residential area. In the rain, gray smoke rose up, and the whole city was shaking slightly.

far away,

Qiu Cai, the county lieutenant of Changqing County, led hundreds of officers to defend the county government office against a large number of rotting corpses. The Great Zhou Dynasty valued civil officials over military officials, so the combat effectiveness of these officers was naturally quite limited.

Most of them just muddle through.

Once the real test comes, he won't be much stronger than ordinary people.

Even with a master like Song Baoyi, he was powerless when faced with the surging army of infected people and could only barely resist.

And beware of the rain...

Avoid getting your body wet by rain, as the plague will silently penetrate into your body.

Due to various reasons, the situation is becoming increasingly precarious.

however,
Just when the officers' defense was about to collapse completely, the zombies suddenly changed direction and rushed quickly to another part of the street.

"Why is this?" an officer widened his eyes.

"Finally I'm alive!" Another officer sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, don't let your guard down!" Song Baoyi clenched his teeth, and the veins on his hand holding the hatchet were exposed.

"Look, what is that!"

Qiu Cai shouted in the crowd, although he didn't know much martial arts.

But his eyes were exceptionally bright, with better eyesight than ordinary people. He could see clearly the figures passing by on the wall even at a distance of hundreds of meters.

"It's green all over, with a slender body, just like the water ghosts recorded in ancient books." The chief clerk wearing a black scholar's hat spoke in a low voice.

The chief clerk was responsible for assisting the county magistrate in handling clerical work, writing county annals, etc.

Since the outbreak of plague in Changqing County, he has consulted a large amount of information, as well as myths and folk customs.

He originally thought that these records were nothing more than strange stories and fables, but he never expected that strange and supernatural things would happen right in front of him.

therefore,

When I saw the dark green slender figure.

He immediately thought of the water ghosts recorded in the materials.

"Water ghost..." Qiu Cai was shocked. "Changqing County has become like this, and there are those rotting corpses outside. Is it all caused by this thing?"

"This is what is recorded in the county annals," the chief clerk whispered.

"Then if we kill the water ghost, can we solve this crisis?" Qiu Cai asked again.

"I don't know..." The chief clerk shook his head first, then smiled bitterly, "But humans are just flesh and blood, how can they fight against demons and monsters?"

Qiu Cai was stunned when he heard this.

The hope that had just been ignited was quickly extinguished.

"No!" Song Baoyi suddenly said, "Why does that water ghost look like it's running away?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise was heard in the distance.

A khaki tower collapsed, with smoke and dust billowing, and even here one could seem to feel the vibrations coming from the ground.

A dark and burly figure tore through the thick smoke and rushed straight towards the direction where the water ghost had passed, flashing past everyone's sight.

"hiss……"

Qiu Cai took a deep breath, "Damn it, there is a second demon."

"Can you recognize the origin of this monster?" Qiu Caitong asked the chief clerk beside him.

The chief clerk shook his head. "However, this demon...seems to look very similar to the second son of the Su family."

Su Heng once spent a lot of effort studying the supernatural and the weird.

As the chief clerk was in charge of the county annals, the two naturally had contact with each other. The chief clerk had a deep impression of Su Heng.

"Su Heng..."

The pair of blood-red pupils flashed through Qiu Cai’s mind.

He was startled again, a chill running up his spine and cold sweat oozing out of his forehead.

Thinking back to the day when I was obsessed with money and wanted to take the other party to prison to make a fortune from the Su family. Now thinking about it, it’s a good thing that I admitted my mistake quickly. Otherwise, I would have died without knowing how.

but,

Even the extremely terrifying water ghost was being chased.

Could it be that the second young master of the Su family is really some kind of human-shaped demon?
