"I..."

"Over....there!"

"A ghost!"

Five or six members of the Black Eagle Gang, upon seeing Zhang Yingxue, seemed to have lost their souls, their minds blank, completely at a loss for words.

Another seven or eight members who had been dozing off were jolted awake by the wailing screams of these "ghosts".

"Weren’t you the ones supposed to be keeping watch?"

"Bastard, which idiot scared me like this!"

"And shouting so loudly, is there really a ghost?!"

"If you wake up the Hall Masters with your noise, you lousy punks can expect to be skinned alive."

One with a fierce and intimidating face was loudly berating the stunned individuals.

Damn it, these fools, being part of the Black Eagle Gang, causing such a commotion.

Not an ounce of the Black Eagle Gang spirit.

If this gets out, how will I, as their leader, hold my head up in public?

After his reprimand, the man saw that his subordinates were all in a stupefied daze.

Their useless behavior sparked an invisible anger from within him.

"Speak up, why the hell are you all just standing there!"

One member, his face filled with despair, was trembling uncontrollably because he realized he couldn’t move at all.

"Hao....Hao.... behind you..... there’s....."

"Behind me?"

"In the middle of the night, who else would come to the Black Eagle Gang?"

"Who the hell could scare you useless idiots like this?"

"Even if it’s some ghostly thing, when it sees our Black Eagle Gang, it should retreat three blocks away!"

Hao finished speaking, furrowing his brow, turning around without hesitation.

He wanted to see who had such audacity.

Who would dare to not sleep at night and come to scare them in the Black Eagle Gang.

The next second!

When Hao turned around, his body remained motionless.

The fury on Hao’s fierce face was eerily frozen.

In the chilling night, beads of cold sweat as big as beans poured down Hao’s face.

An appalling, grotesque face was merely a few centimeters from him.

Hao could even smell the foul stench of decay, causing his stomach to churn.

But Hao didn’t have a chance to vomit.

Under the terrified gazes of the gang members, Hao’s large body underwent a grotesque transformation.

Their leader, Hao, from head to foot, disintegrated, every inch of flesh peeling away.

Then, in less than a moment, Hao had transformed into a pool of blood, spreading across the ground!

"A ghost!"

Deep within the Black Eagle Gang, in the courtyard where the Gang Leader resides.

The Gang Leader, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes, rolling off the bed, not even bothering to dress.

"Bad, this ominous energy, those ghostly things!"

The Black Eagle Gang Leader, a middle-aged man in his forties, a Martial Artist of the Blood Refining Realm.

At this moment, his vital energy was surging wildly, seemingly sensing some terrifying presence.

And that terrifying presence was the horrific ominous energy that had awakened the Gang Leader.

Run!

The Gang Leader, quick to react, grabbed his weapon and burst through the door, fleeing into the distance.

Not long after the Gang Leader left, a red afterimage slowly appeared in the room.

The Gang Leader’s concubine, awakened and not yet grasping the situation.

Had already witnessed Zhang Yingxue’s appearance, directly meeting her ghastly, horrific face.

The Gang Leader ran without looking back, not noticing the eerie silence around.

Until a stick of incense later, the Gang Leader finally noticed something was wrong.

With the speed of a Blood Refining Realm Martial Artist, he should have long left the Black Eagle Gang’s stronghold.

But, to his utter horror, the sight before him was the very room he had initially fled from.

A torrent of despair and terror surged, engulfing the Gang Leader’s heart like a tide.

"Why is this happening!"

"This ghostly energy, even my vital blood power can’t counteract it!"

An ashen face appeared beside the Gang Leader, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Master～"

"Why are you running so fast, wait for me～"

A coy, whiny voice reached the Gang Leader’s ears.

But that deathly pale face lacked any human emotion.

"Damn ghostly thing, die!"

In utter terror, the Gang Leader unleashed all his vital blood power.

The large blade in his hand surged with rolling white mist, slashing towards his concubine.

The next moment!

The Gang Leader’s concubine was split in two by the sharp blade, smoke rising from the charred edges.

Yet, before the Gang Leader could relax, on his other side, his concubine’s pale face appeared again.

As before, those hair-raising words echoed once more in his ears.

"Master～"

"Why are you running so fast, wait for me～"

As those eerie words faded.

Behind the Gang Leader, in front, even above and below, countless pale faces emerged.

"Damn ghostly thing, I’ll fight you to the death!"

As the Gang Leader attempted to resist, his entire vital blood suddenly stalled, his body surface glinted with a sinister gleam.

Thus, in his frozen state, the Gang Leader was torn to shreds by those countless grotesque, ashen faces.

In the last moment of the Gang Leader’s consciousness, Zhang Yingxue’s figure appeared before him.

"Zhang Yingxue?"

"You?"

Seeing Zhang Yingxue, the Gang Leader wasn’t frightened, but rather puzzled.

He knew Zhang Yingxue better than anyone.

That night, he personally led the Black Eagle Gang to massacre the entire Zhang Family.

He even toyed with Zhang Yingxue publicly. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Of course, as the Gang Leader, one Zhang Yingxue wasn’t enough for him, even Zhang Yingxue’s mother he....

Now, the ruined Zhang Yingxue had transformed into the ghostly figure of his despair.

At the Gang Leader’s moment of death, a strange bloody aura surrounding Zhang Yingxue seemed to thicken.

Then, that blood aura flowed to the ground, swiftly spreading throughout the Black Eagle Gang.

Within the Black Eagle Gang, everyone, regardless of age or gender, faced the same fate as the Gang Leader.

"Die!"

In the hazy night.

Above the Black Eagle Gang, a huge phantom of Zhang Yingxue’s grotesque and terrifying face appeared.

It was over a dozen meters large, as if about to swallow the entire Black Eagle Gang.
