Chapter 50 (1/2)

“When we return to the Universal Phenomenon Sect, I should drug Liu Ming with the Truth Potion too. We can probably find out something from him.” Lin Qian silently thought to himself and continued to instruct Lei Qian, “Pack up Lei Kun’s body. Let’s return to the Sect first.”

“Ok. I guess that’s all we can do now.” Lei Qian nodded in agreement.

“AHHHHH!”

Suddenly, a dying shriek pierced through the oppressive and sinister atmosphere, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.

Whipping his head around, Lin Qian could not fathom the sight before his eyes.

The already dead Lei Kun had come back to life. Not just that, his bloodied arms had pierced through two Outer Sect disciple’s chests.

Shrick!

As the horrifying sound of tearing flesh sounded, the harrowing screams echoed from the disciples as they took the last breath. Lei Kun had carved their hearts out from the two disciples while they were alive, shoving the dripping organ directly into his mouth.

Fresh red blood trickled down Lei Kun lips. With each chew, his crimson dyed teeth glistened as an ominous chewing ring from his mouth.

Watching that revolting scene, every person’s skin went cold. The disciples trembled as they stumbled backwards, hiding behind Lin Qian and Lei Qian.

As each bit of human heart entered his mouth, clear beads of tears trickled down Lei Kun’s eyes. Dribbling down his pale white skin, the tears diluted the viscous red blood.

“Brother…. Save me… SAVE ME!” All of a sudden, Lei Kun’s grip loosed, shrieking at the petrified Lei Qian.

It was an ominous scene. As Lei Kun magically screamed, the tiny remnants of half-chewed flesh flowed out together with the residual blood through the gaps between his teeth.

Taking a deep breath, Lei Qian glared cautiously at the savage, bellowing, “Little Kun, what’s wrong with you. What the fuck are you doing!?”

“I don’t know! I don’t know! I can’t control myself, I can’t control myself!!!” As his body swallowed everything in his mouth against his will, Lei Kun wailed uncontrollably.

Gritting his teeth, Lei Qian cautiously prowled towards Lei Kun, “It’s alright! Brother is here for you!”

As Lei Qian approached, a streak of killing intent lashed through Lei Kun’s eyes. A lethal claw sliced at Lei Kun from nowhere. At this close distance, Lei Qian could clearly see the shape of Lei Kun fingers. They were sharp like blades.

As the claws closed in, the repulsive sight of Lei Kun cutting open the two Outer Sect Disciples’ chest, carving out their heads resurfaced in his mind. He was sure, his throat would definitely be no match for this needle-sharp claws.

Right at the moment before the sharp nails took his life, a hand tugged onto Lei Qian robes, tossing him backwards, away from the slice’s route.

Quickly following, a kick thrust outwards, smashing right into Lei Kun chest.

Lei Kun swift offensive gesture was abruptly halted. Before he knew it, he was circling backwards like a cannon, crashing heavily onto a tree behind him.

KACHA!

Under the impact from Lei Kun, the tree snapped like a twig.

Yet, Lei Kun did not stop there, he unceremoniously broke three other trees before he slammed rooted into the ground.

“This rascal, Lei Kun, doesn’t he call you by name? Since when did he call you, brother?” standing beside Lei Qian, Lin Qian turned back and snorted. Lei Qian’s life saviour, naturally, was Lin Qian.

When the revived Lei Kun called Lei Qian Brother, Lin Qian had reacted.

In the past, Lei Qian had told him while they were casually chatting, Lei Qian had never called him Brother ever again after he turned 12. Right at that moment, Lin Qian realised that something was amiss.

Decomposition, the stench of decay did not exist on Lei Kun. Not even a whiff of it.

What’s more, Lei Kun cultivation was no way close to allow him to remain perfectly intact even after seven days of being buried underground.

Lei Qian, who got tossed backwards, struggled to get up. After a couple of deep breaths, he calmed himself down, “Just now that scene made me go crazy.”

This, Lin Qian, was able to empathise. Lei Kun may be a bastard that he had no relations with, but to Lei Qian, he was a childhood brother that grew up with him. They were family, even if Lei Kun was not a blood brother.
