The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 707 A Corpse Comes Back to Life

The banquet's guests were all quite dead, in no more than a dozen or so seconds.

Sticky blood flowed across the floor, and the air was thick with the coppery scent.

Wang Fei was a man who cared deeply about his reputation. How could he let others know that he had changed his appearance and adopted the name Tang Fei?

In fact, the moment Su Su spoke his real name, the deaths of everyone present were already sealed.

"Li Ziqing, Li Ziqing, you've made me suffer so much these past few years. You've ruined my life!"

Wang Fei gnashed his teeth, clearly more distraught than he had been with his previous calm demeanor.

Li Ziqing looked at him, bewildered. "It's been more than three years. How come you seem to be reacting only now?"

"The past is the past. Now is now!"

Wang Fei was beside himself with rage, like a wild animal that had lost something precious.

"Su Su, what's going on?"

Li Ziqing turned to look at Su Su.

Wang Fei's abnormal behavior clearly had something to do with her.

"Perhaps Mr. Wang was too deeply in love..."

Su Su said ambiguously, then lowered her head and added quietly, "Back then, I did value him more than the others."

"..."

Li Ziqing was speechless.

So, all these years, Wang Fei hadn't realized he was a victim; he actually thought what he had with Su Su was love?

"Now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid to let you know!"

Wang Fei said with a sneer, "All these years, I've never stopped thinking about you!"

"It's her!"

Li Ziqing pointed at Su Su, correcting him.

"But I never imagined that the truth would be like this!"

Wang Fei smiled bitterly, grinding his teeth until they clicked.

Chen Xiao was also surprised that this man was so deeply in love.

Su Su truly deserved her reputation as a female enchantress. Her ability to captivate men was unmatched.

"Boss, should I kill them all?"

Man Shan stared at Chen Xiao and the others with a gloomy expression, waiting for Wang Fei to give the order to strike.

"Not yet!"

Wang Fei raised a hand, stopping him. "I must make those who brought me pain taste that pain before they die!"

"I'm curious, what makes you think you can?"

Chen Xiao asked nonchalantly.

He was genuinely curious, as he couldn't see what Wang Fei's trump card was.

In Chen Xiao's eyes, Wang Fei was just a cripple with no strength to truss a chicken, without any qi activity in his body, obviously not a cultivator.

Yet, he could see through Chen Xiao's use of Divine Sense to kill, indicating that he had some insight.

A person with insight but no ability would never dare to be so arrogant in this situation unless he had a trump card.

"What exactly is your trump card? You can show it now!"

Although he didn't know what Wang Fei's trump card was, it certainly wasn't that Man Shan.

Man Shan was just a hulking brute with strong muscles, nothing more than a name, not even a martial artist.

Wang Fei's actions confirmed Chen Xiao's guess.

"You want to know what my trump card is? Fine, I'll let you see it right now!"

As he spoke, Wang Fei pulled out a broken knife and stabbed it into Man Shan's kidney.

"Boss..."

Man Shan turned his head, looking at Wang Fei in disbelief.

He had been loyal to his boss, never imagining that his boss would attack him.

"I'm sorry, Man Shan. I know you wouldn't reveal my secret, but a dead man is even less likely to do so."

Wang Fei said calmly, "Besides, you are my trump card; you should feel honored."

Li Ziqing's eyes widened. Was this guy sick in the head?

Killing someone while saying they were his trump card? What was that supposed to mean? What kind of crazy talk was that?

The big man was also bewildered, but Wang Fei was obviously an experienced killer. He had stabbed Man Shan in the kidney, piercing his spleen.

In less than ten seconds, Man Shan, who had been built like an ox, collapsed heavily to the ground, all breath gone.

"Meow—"

Just then, the black cat in Wang Fei's arms suddenly let out an eerie screech.

Then, it leaped out of Wang Fei's arms like a ghost and landed on Man Shan, walking across his muscular body.

Finally, it gracefully jumped back into Wang Fei's arms, purring softly.

"Meow~"

Wang Fei stroked the cat's head affectionately and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble!"

"How creepy..."

However, this action only confirmed Li Ziqing's opinion of him.

He was just a lunatic!

But then, Chen Xiao smiled slightly. "I see..."

Li Ziqing was about to ask what he meant by 'I see', but then she noticed that Man Shan, who had already died, was actually standing up.

"Husband, he's a zombie!"

Li Ziqing grabbed Chen Xiao's arm in fright.

She had heard people say when she was a child that if a cat walked over a person's corpse shortly after they died, they would rise as a zombie.

Li Ziqing had always thought it was just a scary story, but she never expected it to be true.

"It's not a zombie."

Chen Xiao patted Li Ziqing's hand and said with a smile, "That's his trump card!"

Li Ziqing was bewildered, her mind in a fog.

At that moment, Man Shan stretched his body, looking down and left and right, as if examining himself.

Finally, he nodded to Wang Fei, a satisfied smile on his face. "Yes, you've done well. This body is very suitable for this old man."

Wang Fei was obsequious, and said respectfully, "As long as the Immortal is satisfied!"

"Huh!"

Li Ziqing cried out in surprise, "Man Shan's voice sounds different from before!"

"Hahahaha, little girl, you have a good ear. This old man is no longer Man Shan, so my voice is naturally different."

The person occupying 'Man Shan' laughed loudly.

Although Li Ziqing wasn't a cultivator, she could still see what was happening.

This person who called himself 'this old man' had taken over Man Shan's body.

And he had originally been inside that cat... She couldn't explain exactly how, but that was roughly it.

"Then who are you?"

Li Ziqing asked tentatively.

"This old man is Gan Dao!"

The man was full of vigor, his face filled with arrogance. "I am the Fourth Elder of the Batian Sect (Overlord Sect). I am here under the Sect Master's orders to capture you!"

"You're the one who wants to capture me?"

Li Ziqing was increasingly confused. She had thought that Wang Fei was capturing her because he still had feelings for her, but she didn't expect that Wang Fei was just working for someone else.

"Batian Sect..."

Chen Xiao murmured the name.

He had to admit, the name was quite corny.

"You're from the Immortal Hidden World?"

Chen Xiao asked.

Gan Dao nodded. He looked at Chen Xiao and suddenly asked, "You're the one who killed the disciples of the Xuanjian Sect (Profound Sword Sect) and Tianyuan Sect (Heaven Origin Sect), aren't you?"

"I killed them. So what?"

Chen Xiao didn't deny it.

"Hahahahaha, young man, you have quite the temper!"

Gan Dao laughed wildly again. "Then this time, this old man will take your head back and make the Xuanjian Sect and Tianyuan Sect owe this old man a favor..."
