Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 81 Dogs Bite Dogs

Only half a ray of the morning sun was rising from the east; the night had not yet completely disappeared.

Chen Hengyi had been refining the spiritual liquid.

He discovered that it took almost an entire night to refine a single drop of spiritual liquid.

He thought this was just right; he could do other things during the day. After resolving the land issue, he could study the "Three Methods of Divine Communication" during the day while practicing his martial arts.

Just as he was emerging from the state of refining the spiritual liquid, he suddenly saw a car arrive at his doorstep just before sunrise.

The car came to a stop, and five people jumped out.

The five men, staggering with their eyes closed, cried out, "Boss, leader, it's us! Let us in!"

Chen Hengyi recognized the voices of the Five Ghosts, so he went downstairs to open the door and let the five people in.

As the group entered, Chen Hengyi noticed that three of the five people were the ones who had threatened him earlier that night, while the other two were strangers, and all of them appeared to be possessed by ghosts.

They simply stood on their tiptoes, their eyes closed, and their faces turning blue.

When he observed with his eyes open, he saw a different scene.

The five ghosts clung tightly to the backs of the group, stealing their yang energy to sustain themselves. This was the direct cause of their pale complexions—their yang energy was being drained.

The five men entered the room, and Chen Hengyi casually asked, "So, what's going on here?"

The five men exchanged glances, then knelt down with a thud. One of them then recounted all the intelligence information in detail.

It turned out that one of the two strangers was the village chief's brother-in-law, named Zhou Rui, who was the deputy director of the planning bureau.

The other one is the deputy general manager of Fude Company, named Lu Dachuan.

Those three were police officers who colluded with Zhou Rui.

When Zhou Rui learned that his brother-in-law, the village chief, had been beaten into a cripple, he wasn't actually that angry. Instead, he felt that his brother-in-law's greed had caused the incident.

So they sent men to coerce Chen Hengyi at night.

Because he knew that what he was doing couldn't be done openly, he planned to resolve it secretly.

Specifically, Lu Dachuan and Zhou Rui planned to take advantage of three sources: government subsidies, company funds, and compensation payments from the villagers.

This is just the first wave; there will be a series of further developments once the orchard is fully established.

It was just a coincidence that they ran into Chen Hengyi; otherwise, the matter would have been settled immediately.

After hearing this, Chen Hengyi's face darkened considerably.

What's the difference between these people and the beasts he tried in Renjia Town?

In Mr. Zombie's world, he could kill and run away, but this is the real world, and Chen Hengyi can't be so impulsive.

pity...

He thought for a moment, then asked, "That's all? Nothing else?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the possessed individuals thought for a moment and then said, "Boss, of course there are other things, but since they are unrelated to this matter, we haven't gone into detail."

Chen Hengyi then asked, "So, in other words, they committed heinous crimes, and besides this one thing, there were other disgusting things they did, right?"

"Yes, boss, we couldn't stand it anymore!"

Upon hearing this, the other four ghosts echoed his sentiments, displaying expressions of extreme hatred and righteous indignation.

But in reality, Chen Hengyi knew the details of these guys: two were murderers, one was a hit-and-run driver, and the other two had their eyes on each other's wives. After the incident, they killed each other. When Chen Hengyi caught them, the two ghosts were still fighting each other.

By Chen Hengyi's standards, these ghosts deserved to die, and dying again wouldn't be a big deal.

Anyway, none of them are good stuff.

Chen Hengyi stared at the five people kneeling on the ground when suddenly, a loud rooster crowed from Chenjiagou in the distance.

The next moment, the five people jolted violently, and the five ghosts' terrified voices rang out: "Boss, boss, please let us go back! We can't stand in the sun!"

"The rooster has crowed, we can't go out!"

The five ghosts' voices were filled with terror, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

Chen Hengyi didn't make things difficult for the five ghosts. Although they were evil ghosts, they were quite efficient and could be used again in the future.

He took out the Three Pure Bells and shook it gently, making a tinkling sound.

Then, in Chen Hengyi's eyes, the five ghostly energies rushed toward their respective five elemental positions.

After the five ghosts left, the five people who had been possessed opened their eyes and woke up one after another.

The five people were filled with doubt when they found themselves in an unfamiliar place, but the next second, the three who had been there the night before saw Chen Hengyi's face again.

Before Zhou Rui and his companion could react, three policemen rushed forward, crying and pleading, grabbing Chen Hengyi's legs and crying, "Big brother, big brother, I was wrong! Please don't kill me!"

"Please, spare my life! It's all this man's fault! He's the one who sent us!"

"I only make 3000 yuan a month, it's just some extra money I earn, brother, please!"

As they spoke, their bodies trembled with fear. Clearly, after seeing Chen Hengyi, they understood who was involved in the terrifying events of the previous night—it wasn't an illusion, nor a magic trick; there really were ghosts!

But at this moment, Zhou Ruiyu and Lu Dachuan, who were new to the place, stood up.

While Lu Dachuan was still observing, Zhou Rui shouted angrily, "Who are you? Do you know who I am? This is kidnapping! You'll go to jail, do you know that?"

"You have some nerve! You're trying to murder a government official! I..."

Before Zhou Rui could even speak to me, Chen Hengyi chuckled, looked down at the three men clinging to his legs and begging for mercy, and said, "I really dislike this person, understand?"

As soon as Chen Hengyi finished speaking, Zhou Rui sneered, "Are you crazy? I don't know what tricks you used, but do you think they'll just listen to a few words and you'll be able to do whatever you want—"

But in the blink of an eye, Zhou Rui was tackled to the ground by the three men.

Bang bang bang!!

The three men threw punch after punch, showing no mercy.

Chen Hengyi found the scene of the dogs fighting quite amusing.

Furthermore, the three men were quite perceptive; they didn't let Zhou Rui move around, but instead pressed him to the ground so he couldn't move. This was because there were still things Chen Hengyi used for performing around them, and they were afraid that if they touched them, they would die.

On the other side, Lu Dachuan took a deep breath, slowly walked up to Chen Hengyi, bent down, and nervously rubbed his hands in front of his chest. He said with a forced smile, "Brother, may I ask what I have done wrong? And what price do I have to pay to beg you to be lenient and let me go?"

As he spoke, Lu Dachuan chuckled twice. Seeing that Chen Hengyi didn't respond but just stared at him coldly, he hurriedly rummaged through his pockets and finally pulled out a pack of cigarettes, handing it to him with trembling hands.

"Brother, please do me the honor..."

Chen Hengyi ignored the other party and said to the three of them, "Too much nonsense. Drag this person over and beat him up too."

Upon hearing this, Lu Dachuan's eyes widened in shock. Before he could say anything, two hands had already grabbed his face and pressed him to the ground, his screams echoing in his ears.

Chen Hengyi crossed his legs and watched everything unfold before him until the two men were on the verge of death, at which point he finally spoke up to stop them.

"Alright, bring these two things over here."

The three were incredibly obedient, and soon two bruised and swollen-faced "pig heads" were brought before Chen Hengyi.

Blood was dripping from their faces, but a piece of clothing was already placed on the ground to prevent the floor from getting dirty.

Chen Hengyi let out a soft "hmm".

"Um, big brother—I—"

"It's okay, you did a good job."
