Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 97 Where the Blade Points

On the mountain road lay men lying haphazardly, groaning in pain, including Ren Fa, whose mouth had been pierced, and Ren Tingting, whose head had been smashed.

devil……

They're absolutely devilish.

The men were in excruciating pain, unable to run away. Their major bones, such as their thighs, knees, and spines, were shattered, and the pain penetrated to the bone marrow. If they could just die, it would be the easiest thing to do.

Li Xuan stood beside Old Master Ren's coffin. The old master inside was the big boss in "Mr. Vampire," an exceptionally vicious character who bit Ren Fa to death and scratched Wen Cai.

Just now, when we went up the mountain, this coffin was clearly emitting black energy, but now it has suddenly become so quiet.

He put away the mace, pressed down on the coffin lid with both hands and exerted force. With a loud thud, the lid slammed to the side, revealing the corpse of Ren Weiyong dressed in Qing Dynasty official attire.

Why do zombie movies always feature characters dressed as Qing Dynasty officials?

In layman's terms, old film companies often shared the same clothes among several film crews to save on costumes and props. In addition, the dark and somewhat gloomy colors of Qing Dynasty officials' clothing actually suited zombies surprisingly well, so it gradually became the standard costume for zombies.

However, the prevailing view in the Republican era was that wealthy people hoped to attain some official position in the underworld after their death, so they would be buried dressed in official robes as burial garments. After all, few people would bother to dig up the grave to check if it conformed to proper etiquette. In addition, the Qing Dynasty was severely corrupt and its prestige had collapsed, so apart from the imperial family, no one would uphold the dignity of the Qing Dynasty.

The sun was blazing.

After being exposed to the sun for a while, Ren Weiyong's skin began to sink in, brown liquid flowed from under his body, and his limbs began to tremble.

When Ren Fa was digging the grave, he did open the coffin lid to take a look.

However, he turned it off after watching it, unlike Li Xuan who left it on in the sun without any time limit, which naturally couldn't withstand it...

Li Xuan looked at Ren Weiyong and said, "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Your soul has already returned to the underworld. This body will only bring disaster if it remains in the mortal world. So be gone."

Ren Weiyong seemed unwilling to accept this fate. He exhaled a puff of black smoke from his throat, and his corpse stood up straight from the coffin!

The sword flashed!
Li Xuan gripped the 1.43-meter-long Miao sword horizontally with both hands, its cold light swirling on the blade, and a few drops of black liquid dripped from the tip.

Ren Weiyong opened his mouth, revealing fangs, and stiffly turned his head towards Li Xuan. With a thud, he fell straight down and rolled several times on the ground...

Zombies.

In the Lin Jiu film series, it is described as being born from the resentment of heaven and earth, transcending the three realms and the five elements, and feeding on blood...

There are many types of zombies: bronze-armored, silver-armored, gold-armored, white-armored, purple-armored, black-armored, boneless, and flying zombies, etc. It is said that the most powerful is the flying zombie, which can also release magic to suck blood from a distance.

Ren Weiyong was quite powerful in the movie, but unfortunately he wasn't given time to grow and didn't get to drink the blood of his relatives. He was killed by Li Xuan as soon as he was brought here from the grave.

The men on the ground were terrified when they saw the corpse stand up. Then they saw Li Xuan slaughtering the corpse like a chicken or a dog, pulling out a 1.4-meter-long sharp knife from somewhere and killing it.

They were even more frightened...

Li Xuan glanced at them, pondered for a moment, and finally felt a pang of pity.

The men tried to kill him for money, but in the end, they were harmed by their own greed. Everyone has desires; they just couldn't control themselves for a moment. There's no need to torture them.

Just kill him...

The Republic of China was a turbulent era, not a romantic spy drama with an elegant filter as depicted in movies and TV shows.

The Miao sword is brandished!

The blade swung left and right, splattering blood onto the mountainside, the muddy ground, and even the coffin! Li Xuan walked back along the mountain path, holding the "Cold Weapon Maintenance Manual" given to him by the master, reading it, and nodding. Maintenance is the true essence of extending the life of a weapon...

He wiped it clean with a tissue, sprayed it with disinfectant, dried it, and then applied a layer of conditioner.

……

The population of towns in the Republic of China era was not as large as in later generations.

Many are family-run communities that produce and consume their own goods, forming a closed economic loop. Therefore, although outsiders inject fresh economic blood, the impact is extremely limited...

Renjia Town is considered a relatively prosperous town, but even so, it only has a population of a few thousand.

The Ren family has been entrenched here for generations. The family sticks together and is always on guard against any possible group actions in the town. Only by constantly dismantling groups outside the Ren family can they live comfortably here, enjoy superior material conditions, and ruthlessly exploit the poor people at the bottom of society.

Li Xuan felt like he was just a recent college graduate with little social experience.

He didn't possess the succubus attribute to quickly rally the town's residents and break through the Ren family's century-old blockade...

All we can do right now is to eliminate the ringleaders and have some deterrent effect.

The situation in Renjia Town is just a small microcosm of the overall turbulent situation.

It takes the shared goal of countless people to reverse this trend and bring about a new beginning...

Li Xuan disliked slow, torturous, and intimidating communication.

That very night after dealing with Ren Weiyong, he took up two maces and sneaked into the heart of the Ren family's territory to obtain the ledgers that recorded various bloody and cruel facts, and visited each of the names on them one by one.

The family elders and the "outstanding" younger generation were all named...

Because things happened so fast, by the time the Ren family realized what was happening, all the important figures had their kneecaps broken, rendering them crippled in this era.

Li Xuan did not spare their lives out of mercy, but because these people had different seniority within the Ren family. They were terrified and lived in fear, which allowed them to constantly intimidate the surviving members of the clan.

If they were all killed, it would deter the younger generation from doing evil for a while, but fear is something that will eventually be forgotten if no one constantly reminds them of it.

Li Xuan changed his clothes several times before he started, and he didn't stop no matter how much the other person begged for mercy.

Because the members of the Ren family saw Li Xuan dressed in different clothes, they subconsciously assumed that this was a terrifying "organization" carrying out acts of rewarding good and punishing evil...

Outside Renjia Town, many organizations were doing this under various slogans. There were even rumors that in a place called Goose City, a band of bandits known as "Ma Fei" had usurped the position of county magistrate, and that the bandit leader had even incited the townspeople to kill Huang Silang...

Compared to the situation of the Huang family in Goose City, the Ren family felt fortunate, believing that they had an extra chance to redeem themselves.

The next day, they issued a notice throughout the town that the wages of all long-term and short-term workers on all Ren family properties would increase by 10%, while the harvest from the fields outside the town would remain the same, but the rent would be reduced by 20%...

Some even opened a "charitable hall" to take in homeless orphans and the elderly, who only needed to provide a little labor to receive two meals a day.

Li Xuan hadn't expected the Ren family's reaction to be so "overreacting," but it was still acceptable. He hoped this behavior could become a long-term habit...

The black notebook showed that the task was completed, but there was no notification that I could go back immediately.

He wondered if there were any hidden side quests, so he inquired about Lin Jiu's residence and planned to visit him to see if this key figure could provide some clues.
