American Zombie Detective

Chapter 150 The Last Bloodline

The mountain spirit's originally enormous and blurry figure began to shrink rapidly, as if it were being squeezed by some kind of force!

The black smoke billowing and dissipating around it seemed to be pulled by a powerful force, rushing wildly into its body, constantly converging and condensing!

In the blink of an eye, its size shrank from a colossal behemoth to a little over three meters tall, still ghostly in form. Although its size had decreased, the sense of oppression it brought was even sharper.

What is even more striking is its shape and appearance—

What was originally just a blurry outline of black smoke, after converging and condensing, began to show some fine patterns on its body, and also exhibited some wild characteristics.

Its slender arms bore ghostly claws, and its body began to churn and thrash. Human faces appeared on its surface, then vanished, over and over again. Three crescent-shaped pale lines appeared on its once-black face, and eyes and a mouth began to form—

Now, even ordinary people like Carter can see this inhuman black shadow.

A flash of inspiration struck Qin Jin, and he instantly understood many of the key points!

"So that's how it is—Chen Anni and the others weren't telling the truth at all! It wasn't a mountain god they invited; it was forcibly brought here using evil magic! That stone is the core of its true form! What do you mean by 'the ritual went wrong'? It was clearly planned. They used their daughter's life as bait to imprison this thing, and then fed it every seven years to barely quell its anger while simultaneously stealing its power!"

Now, the cage has been broken, and the core of the mountain spirit has completely merged with its spiritual body!

The humiliation and anger brought about by years of imprisonment and mockery, as well as the violence stimulated by the filthy blood, erupted completely like a volcano at this moment!

It gained completeness, but also became more insane and unpredictable!

A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood filled the sky; deathly pale eyes, filled with hatred and resentment, instantly locked onto Alessa, the culprit who had just attacked it—

boom!

The mountain spirit moved! Its speed was more than twice as fast as before, like a bolt of lightning flying close to the ground, carrying boundless rage and hatred as it rushed straight towards them!

Qin Jin had already drawn the Basmo Armor M-shaped machete with divine attributes!

The pale moonlight was reflected on the cold blade, with a faint white glow, eerily cold as frost.

Qin Jin knew very well that although this knife could cause damage, it wouldn't be able to kill it completely.

"Cough! Cough! Cough—!"

Qin Jin met the attack head-on, his Bas Demon Armor transforming into a silver streak that tumbled like a dragon, slashing precisely and ruthlessly at the mountain demon's attacking claws and body!

Each strike felt as if it had pierced into some kind of solid entity, leaving a cut marked with tiny white flames!

Where the blade passes, it can even slice, cut, and sever the mountain demon's body formed from black smoke; even its enormous claws are cleaved in two with a single strike!

but!

The severed flesh and limbs did not suffer further damage. Instead, they quickly exploded into black smoke, instantly coalesced, and merged back into the mountain spirit's body, where they rapidly regenerated.

The attack was indeed ineffective, only providing temporary relief and failing to completely resolve the issue.

Aresa, of course, wasn't idle either!

The Gru Super Red Eagle in her hand roared, rune bullets streaking through the air with white death rays, continuously firing around the mountain demon's lower limbs.

Like the Bass Armor, the injuries caused by Gru's Super Red Eagle will also heal, but under the dual attack of Qin Jin and Alessa, the Mountain Ghost's movements were greatly hindered and its speed was completely slowed down!

A bizarre and intense battle ensued!

Qin Jin and Aresa, with their superhuman speed, strength, and ability to ignore damage, fought a fierce and evenly matched battle with the Mountain Demon.

Blades flashed, holy marks swept by, black smoke billowed and surged, and sharp claws howled incessantly!

The scene was extremely dangerous. The mountain demon roared repeatedly, its anger level was obviously rising, and its attacks became more and more ferocious, but it was always held back by Qin Jin and Alessa and had no time to pay attention to anything else!

During the battle, Qin Jin suddenly shouted to David in the distance, "Go find Carter! Tell him to bring Lin Hao and Lily here! Quickly! Immediately—"

Before he could finish speaking, the mountain demon's claws struck Qin Jin again. He leaped to the side, swung his sword behind his back, and with a cracking sound, chopped off half of the monster's claws!

"Ha—" Suddenly, an extremely cold power surged from behind Qin Jin, rushing towards his back. In this critical moment, Qin Jin shifted his body and made a posture that no ordinary person could do—his upper body suddenly bent to the side, and with a cracking sound, his spine broke, and his whole body bent at a ninety-degree angle, just in time to avoid the aura behind him!

Deathly aura of the Yellow Springs!

The aura generated from just devouring Chen Anni's soul was exhaled by it, but Qin Jin dodged it in this strange manner.

Then, Qin Jin's body straightened up again, and his broken spine was restored in the blink of an eye!

Suddenly, Qin Jin caught a faint but unsettling hissing sound, like cold water dripping onto a red-hot iron. He glanced at Alessa and saw white smoke swirling around the silver cross necklace around her neck!

A faint corrosive force had already crept up her hands, about to engulf the Gru Super Red Eagle in her hands—that was Alessa's Corrosive Domain!

It was clear that the mountain spirit's surprise attack on Qin Jin had completely enraged her, causing her to unleash her strongest attack!

"Stop! Alessa, stop!" Qin Jin dodged past the mountain spirit, deflecting its claws with his sword, and shouted sharply, "Don't use that power! We can handle it before it's too late! Control her! Alessa!!!"

Aresa's grey-blue eyes flickered as she glanced at Qin Jin, then at her smoking necklace.

The rust and burn marks spreading under her skin quickly faded, and the white smoke around the necklace also dissipated rapidly. She forcibly suppressed the restless, darker, and more powerful force within her body and continued firing!

Just then, David and Carter's voices came from afar: "Detective Qin! The man has been brought!"

Carter and David, one on each side, dragged Lin Hao and Lily, who were almost paralyzed with fear and pale as ghosts, over.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Jin's eyes; his opportunity had arrived!

He suddenly lunged forward, risking his life to parry the Mountain-Splitting Demon's full-force attack with the blade of his sword, using the momentum to fly backward, grabbing Alessa's hand, and instantly retreating to Lin Hao and Lily's side.

Before the two men could even beg for mercy, Qin Jin raised his knife and brought it down!

Swish!Swish!

The sharp blade precisely sliced ​​a deep gash in each of their hands, and blood gushed out immediately. The aura of Lily's hidden Lin family bloodline instantly spread out!

"These two!" Seeing the mountain spirit drawn by the aura of bloodline, Qin Jin shouted, "The woman carries the last bloodline of the Lin family in her womb, and the man—his soul belongs to the Lin family! The grievances have their source, the debts have their debtors; you decide what to do!"

After saying that, he gave a sudden shove, throwing the screaming Lin Hao and Lily like two rag dolls directly at the mountain spirit that had temporarily attracted his attention!

Revenge against the Lin family will always be the Mountain Ghost's primary objective.

It let out an excited and violent shriek, completely abandoning Qin Jin and Alessa, and its two huge shadowy claws lashed out as if taking candy from a baby!

puff!puff!

Two shadowy claws easily penetrated the two men's chests, not to rip out their hearts, but to grab their terrified, screaming, and struggling souls and yank them out!

Lin Hao's soul was filled with resentment and bitterness, while Lily's soul was filled with endless fear and despair for her unborn child.

The mountain spirit seemed to be savoring an unparalleled delicacy, roughly stuffing the two souls into its mouth. The teeth-grinding crunching sound rang out again, louder and more chilling than ever before!

Lin Hao and Lily's bodies slumped to the ground like rag dolls, their eyes vacant, and they died instantly.

Having devoured the last two souls directly related to the core cause and effect, the Mountain Spirit's violent aura reached its peak, with surging black light—however, a strange sense of satisfaction and accomplishment began to replace that pure, indiscriminate rage.

It stood still, its massive body undulating slightly, as if digesting something, and the boiling killing intent began to slowly subside.

Qin Jin checked on Alessa's condition before coldly looking at the Mountain Spirit, his eyes calm and unwavering.

For him, this was simply dealing with the root cause of the trouble and finding the most effective way to quell an even bigger problem.

The Lin family's lives are not important, and even Lily is not important. What matters is calming the mountain spirit's anger, ending the case, and minimizing trouble for oneself. That is the key.

The case should be closed.

Carter and David watched from the sidelines, their bodies turning ice-cold, their backs soaked with cold sweat.

They finally understood that Detective Qin from Los Angeles had a completely different style and bottom line in handling cases compared to them; it was an almost inhuman, efficient, and ruthless approach.
