My Date with a Zombie III

Chapter 8

Xiao Gang smiled again, his eyes filled with endless evil energy. The Taoist felt dizzy, and a cold, evil energy rushed along his nerves into his brain. His vision went black, and he fainted.

His sudden fainting spell threw everyone into a panic. Fear gripped their hearts. A chilling atmosphere filled the entire hall. Several people felt dizzy and also fainted.

Under the cover of night, a tragedy is about to unfold.

Six people stood side by side on the rooftop of Liu Jiang's house. Their expressions were blank, staring at the empty space before them, their faces displaying a mixture of greed, satisfaction, and longing. They slowly walked forward. They had been possessed by Lin Hao's vengeful spirit, and everything they saw before them was what they most desired in their lives: fame, fortune, and beauty. But these things always seemed just a step away, and they chased after them step by step, threatening to fall to their deaths.

A clear, sharp sound rang in everyone's ears. Although the sound was not loud, it sounded like thunder to them, and they were instantly brought to their senses.

Chapter Eight: Dragon God's Edict

Author: Xiao Tianyi

When the group regained consciousness, they were horrified to find themselves standing on the edge of the building. They were secretly relieved that someone had woken them in time, or they would have died there without knowing why.

"What? I saved you all, and you didn't even say thank you?" Two people had appeared beside them without their noticing. The man was handsome and tall, the woman beautiful as a flower. It was clearly this woman who had saved them. "Forget it, I don't need your thanks. I never do business at a loss. I saved your lives, so I'll give you each ten thousand yuan."

Before anyone could understand what was happening, the woman in purple had already uttered those words. Liu Jiang was the first to react. "It's nothing, it's nothing. Miss saved our lives, we should thank you properly." Ma Xiaoling smiled slightly. "Mr. Liu is indeed a straightforward person." Only then did Liu Jiang notice Kuang Tianyou. "Mr. Kuang, you're here too. And this young lady is..." Although Kuang Tianyou despised his character, he didn't want to embarrass him for Liu Sir's sake, so he introduced her without any expression, "Her name is Ma Xiaoling, the current successor of the Ma clan of the Exorcist Dragon Clan. She's the sorceress that Liu Ting's teacher, Wang Zhenzhen, introduced to you."

Liu Jiang gasped, feeling incredibly embarrassed. A rare blush crept onto his face. For a moment, everyone forgot they were still in danger. Only Kuang Tianyou, relying on his instincts, sensed a faint energy fluctuation in the corner. Although the energy was weak, the intensity of the resentment within it was unlike anything he had ever seen. In the corner, first wisps of faint black mist appeared, then quickly grew thicker, and Lin Hao reappeared before them. His eyes held a more intense killing intent than before, and the resentment emanating from him was even more pronounced. Seeing the strange look in Kuang Tianyou's eyes, Liu Jiang and the others instinctively turned around, only to see Lin Hao grinning wickedly behind them, his expression like a cat watching several dying mice. Terrified, they screamed and ran behind Ma Xiaoling.

"Boss Liu, do you want me to help you deal with him? My fee isn't high, 300,000 is enough."

Upon hearing the price of 300,000, Liu Jiang felt worse than if his own flesh had been ripped off. "300,000 is too much. How about 100,000?" Liu Jiang bargained.

"Not a single penny can be spared, or I'll leave and you can deal with him yourself."

When Kuang Tianyou heard Ma Xiaoling say she was leaving, he couldn't help but try to persuade her: "Xiaoling, you promised Zhenzhen..."

"Shut up, you stinking cop! I only promised Zhenzhen I'd come and take a look, I didn't promise her I had to save them. If he doesn't want to, I won't force him." She finished speaking and gave Liu Jiang a sweet smile. But to those who saw it, that smile was nothing short of a devil's.

Liu Jiang hardened his heart and said, "Fine, I promise you, 300,000 it is." After all, money can be earned back, but if you lose your life, you won't have any money to spend.

"You're wrong, it's 360,000. I just saved six of your people, 10,000 each, that's 60,000 in total," Ma Xiaoling corrected. "Okay. Any amount is fine, as long as you can get rid of Lin Hao's ghost." At this point, Liu Jiang had no choice but to agree.

How did Ma Xiaoling end up here by such a coincidence? It turns out that tonight, Wang Zhenzhen, overly worried about Liu Ting's safety, kept pestering Ma Xiaoling to go to the Liu family's house to exorcise the ghost. Ma Xiaoling, on the one hand, couldn't resist Wang Zhenzhen's relentless nagging, and on the other hand, the Ma family considered it their duty to uphold righteousness and ward off evil, so she had no choice but to go. In the end, she agreed to go to the Liu family's house. Kuang Tianyou, fearing for her safety, accompanied her under the guise of protecting the citizens. Even Kuang Tianyou himself didn't understand why he cared so much about her. When they arrived at the Liu family's house, they discovered that Liu Jiang had already hired someone to exorcise the ghost. The two of them hid and only appeared now.

"So you're his accomplices too. Fine, two more to die." He transformed into a gust of cold wind and swept towards the two. Ma Xiaoling pulled out a lucky star. "Dragon God's Decree Heavenly Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword Technique." The talisman transformed into a long sword and pierced Lin Hao's body. Lin Hao screamed and retreated to the corner, looking disheveled and clearly badly injured.

"You think you can deal with me like this?" Lin Hao said viciously. His eyes fixed on Ma Xiaoling and Kuang Tianyou, he used the same trick again. A chilling, evil aura surged through their minds like a tidal wave. Kuang Tianyou and Ma Xiaoling immediately fell into their own illusion. In Hongxi Village, the zombie king Jiang Chen opened his jaws, biting at Kuang Tianyou's neck. "No..." Kuang Tianyou cried out in despair. Just then, Kuang Tianyou felt a cool current flow from between his brows, instantly spreading throughout his body, forcefully dispelling the evil aura in his nerves. The illusion dissipated on its own. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Ma Xiaoling had regained consciousness, her hands constantly forming various hand seals, her expression solemn, like a goddess, radiating holy light. "Dragon God's Decree, Heaven and Earth Profound Extreme Formation." She threw out a lucky star, which fell in an arc through the air. When it landed three feet above Lin Hao's head, it stopped, emitting eight beams of light, sealing Lin Hao. Lin Hao felt as if the surroundings were as heavy as Mount Tai, making it difficult for him to take a single step. "Why, why are you helping Liu Jiang, that despicable scoundrel? None of you are good people, you all deserve to die."

Ma Xiaoling's jade-like face darkened. "In the beginning, the great god Pangu divided the world into three realms: Heaven, Earth, and Man. From then on, each realm had its own laws and did not interfere with the others. Since you are a ghost, you should not appear in the human realm. No matter what grudges you have, you cannot harm people. You must know that the cycle of Heaven is cyclical, retribution is inevitable, and justice will prevail in the unseen world." After speaking, she stretched out her slender hand and grasped the Lucky Star that had captured Lin Hao's ghost in her hand.

"Mr. Liu, don't forget to transfer 360,000 yuan into my account. Otherwise, I can't guarantee Lin Hao will appear before you again."

"Definitely, definitely, I'll transfer the money to your account tomorrow." Liu Jiang broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about tonight, and dared not utter a single word of refusal.
