Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chen Hengyi carried the still-flaming Demon-Slaying Sword, his boots crushing the charred grass with each step, causing the Demon Child to retreat in panic.

His gaze was sharp as a knife, piercing through the sparse shadows of the trees, fixing its gaze on the gray-white building covered with withered vines—the abandoned Cardori Amusement Park Hospital.

"Trying to escape?" He scoffed, the flames dancing on the tip of his sword. "Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and send you all to your deaths!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted his strength! He charged forward and instantly killed the demon boy in front of him with two sword strikes.

At this moment, Chen Hengyi suddenly turned around and headed towards the Demon Boy behind him with murderous intent.

As soon as he made that move, almost all the little demons scattered and fled for their lives. Chen Hengyi could only kill a small portion of them, and then there were no more little demons in sight.

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

According to Chen Hengyi, this demon boy is extremely cruel. He likes to deceive pregnant women who have had abortions, lure them to the mountains, and then torment and punish them.

Because these demon children are essentially the obsessions of abandoned infants, they have become spirits, and therefore their personalities are particularly twisted.

However, when facing Chen Hengyi, those cruel traits couldn't be displayed.

After scanning his surroundings and confirming that it was temporarily safe, Chen Hengyi quickly walked towards the abandoned hospital.

He surveyed the hospital, noticing that all the windows were shattered, their dark openings like countless prying eyes; the iron gate was askew and half-open, its rusted hinges covered in cobwebs, whistling softly in the draft.

At this time, he was still playing Zhong Kui, and had an extraordinary perception of ghosts and monsters.

The hospital had been abandoned for a long time, and it seemed that no one had come here for a long time, but in his perception, it was simply a filthy den of demons.

Conversely, if there are traces of someone here, they will be particularly noticeable.

Chen Hengyi, holding the Demon-Slaying Sword, walked forward and suddenly stopped in an operating room filled with black grime.

He turned his head and saw a barefoot woman wearing tattered clothes, her hair in a tangled mess, who was unrecognizable as a human being, squatting on the ground, stuffing something into her mouth.

Just as Chen Hengyi entered the room, the woman trembled, as if she had sensed something, and suddenly turned around.

Only then did Chen Hengyi realize that the other person's mouth was stuffed with a handful of wriggling earthworms and maggots, her eyes were empty and lifeless, and her stomach looked as if she were ten months pregnant!

Chen Hengyi recognized the person; it was Shen Yijun, the female live streamer who had been missing for two years.

"Hmm...?"

Before Chen Hengyi could speak, Shen Yijun suddenly looked startled, as if she had been frightened, but at the same time her empty and lifeless eyes suddenly became lively.

"I...ugh~"

She immediately fell to the ground and vomited the earthworm in her mouth.

Shen Yijun looked terrified and devastated, tears streaming down her face as she vomited.

Chen Hengyi darted forward, a flash of crimson light appeared on his hand, and then he touched Shen Yijun's forehead.

He quickly recited: "Supreme Star, ever responsive, dispel evil and bind demons, protect life and body, grant wisdom clarity, peace of mind, eternal life of the three souls, and unwavering spirit; so be it!"

This is the Purification Mantra, which Chen Hengyi used to stabilize the mind of the other person.

When he entered this place, he instantly shattered the illusion that the demon had woven for him. Shen Yijun experienced extreme joy and sorrow, and her emotions were now in a state of collapse.

"Wei, Wei, where are you...?"

She suddenly grabbed Chen Hengyi's sleeve.

"Save me, save my child." After saying these words, Shen Yijun immediately fainted, but her brows relaxed.

"The baby..." Chen Hengyi glanced at the other person's high, protruding belly and shook his head.

The other person was already unconscious and couldn't walk away. Although Chen Hengyi was still playing Zhong Kui, he ignored the dirt on the other person and picked him up directly.

"Zhong Kui is here; he will surely be able to lead you down the mountain."

Shen Yijun was thin and severely malnourished, weighing only a few dozen kilograms, and seemed weightless in Chen Hengyi's hands.

The other person's smell was naturally not pleasant; it was almost the worst smell Chen Hengyi had ever encountered, a chaotic mix of maggot stench, earthy odor, and rotten smell.

But he could endure it!

Holding Shen Yijun, he continued walking deeper into the hospital, but then he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the opposite corridor.

Suddenly, a flashlight beam shone through.

"There's someone here!"

Someone shouted, and then a five-person rescue team appeared in front of Chen Hengyi.

The beam of the flashlight pierced the darkness, illuminating Chen Hengyi's crimson Zhong Kui mask, reflecting an eerie glow.

The lead rescue team member, dressed in an orange uniform with his hat pulled low, spoke in a deliberately gentle voice: "We are a mountain search and rescue team. We received a report of a missing person... Please hand the person over to us quickly!"

Chen Hengyi remained motionless. He held the unconscious Shen Yijun, and his nose caught a faint smell of earthy, rotten flesh mixed with the scent of decaying flesh—a smell he was all too familiar with, the filthy aura unique to the Demon Child.

Upon closer inspection, the epaulets on their uniforms were crooked, and the worn cuffs revealed grayish-green skin texture. Their footsteps were as light as cats, and they seemed utterly devoid of any human presence.

As they spoke, the rescue team slowly approached.

"Search and rescue team?" Chen Hengyi scoffed, and the Zhong Kui mask suddenly came to life.

Zhong Kui's facial makeup is not that of a kind person; his fangs are ferocious and terrifying.

"Don't think that just because I'm busy, I can't do anything to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hengyi opened his mouth, and his jaw seemed to dislocate. His teeth seemed to be affected by the fangs of the mask, turning into sharp knives.

A tremendous suction force appeared.

"After all this activity, Grandpa needs to relax a bit!"

The five people who claimed to be the search and rescue team froze on the spot, their flashlights crashing to the ground with a thud, the beams of light swaying wildly.

A green wisp of light drifted by, and the five-person search team vanished, replaced by five terrified little demons.

They frantically tried to escape, but it was too late.

The immense suction force swept their bodies up and suspended them in mid-air.

"Chirp—!!"

Just as the demon boy was about to fly in front of Chen Hengyi, he snorted and a burst of golden-red flames shot out.

The moment the flame touched the demon boy, it burst into flames like dry tinder.

"ah--"

Within seconds, several piles of charcoal appeared on the ground.

"Filthy and unclean things are not worthy of entering my stomach."

Chen Hengyi kicked the coke, and it instantly turned into dust.

Forgetting about this little incident, Chen Hengyi continued forward and soon came to another room. He saw a sign that was crooked and about to fall down; it was a delivery room.

"I remember, Li Yating was in the delivery room..."

But when Chen Hengyi looked inside, he saw a rotting female corpse lying on the bed.
