Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Suddenly, the knife shot forward and went straight toward Ye Tianlong’s feet.

The knife tail cut through the air, and the blade of the knife shone brilliantly with the reflection of the sun.

There was a scream of disbelief from all the men present. It lasted for a very long time until—bang! Ye Tianlong felt a splitting pain in his foot! The knife stabbed his foot and plunged through it into the ground!

His eyeballs suddenly stuck out! He couldn’t believe what happened. He bent over instantly in an attempt to pull out the knife in his foot but found that this knife, which looked like a small kitchen knife that every family has in their kitchen, now was the biggest obstacle for him to escape. The knife was planted into the ground like a tree grown-up from its roots. Ye Tianlong failed to move it no matter how hard he tried, and blood started to drip down the back of the knife. A great fear suddenly rose in Ye Tianlong’s heart. His feet turned so soft that they couldn’t support his body, and he fell down uncontrollably. At the same time, the man who was caught by Ye Tianlong moaned and ran to the people in front of the door of the supermarket.

Everyone was violently shocked. Their hearts lurched with fear. That man, Shen Chen, nearly two hundred meters away from Ye Tianlong, just threw a small kitchen knife with a flick of his wrist and got Ye Tianlong under control. What power did he have?

However, no one could be more scared and shocked than Ye Tianlong. His face turned livid with fear. He was so shocked that he looked at Shen Chen walking slowly toward him without blinking.

Step by step, Shen Chen walked to Ye Tianlong like the Grim Reaper. Ye Tianlong shuddered and shivered like a sieve. He had run more than two hundred meters away from Shen Chen. How was Shen Chen able to hurt him? How?

His body was shaking uncontrollably, and he suddenly thought of what Shen Chen said to him before: “If you dare to hurt anyone, I will kill you, and you will die without a burial place!”

“No! Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” Ye Tianlong, who felt frozen from the top of his head to the tip of his toes, begged for mercy as loudly as he could. He fell to the ground like a lump of mud and knelt down, kowtowing for mercy.

But Shen Chen didn’t at all care about what Ye Tianlong had to say. He simply ignored his pleading. In his opinion, as early as the first time they met, Ye Tianlong should have already been a dead man. It was because of Shen Chen’s stupid mercy that Ye Tianlong was still alive.

Shen Chen raised the Black Blade in his hands. His deep eyes were as cold as an ice cellar thousands of years old. “Ye Tianlong, each day, how many people died from your hands? Now, it’s time for you to disappear from this world!”

The Black Blade was about to fall! All of a sudden, Ye Tianlong shouted desperately, “You are ill! You need food that’s high in nutrition. I can give you that. Let me go. I can get you that!”

Shen Chen stopped and asked, “Are you sure?”

Ye Tianlong’s eyes suddenly brightened. He knew he had gotten his last chance at life. “I know of a warehouse that’s full of ginseng and goods that are highly nutritious! If you let me go, I’ll tell you the address!”

Shen Chen showed a smile on his lips. He held the Black Blade in his hand and asked calmly, “Tell me the address.”

“I will tell you if you let me go!” Ye Tianlong eagerly looked at Shen Shen and said, “I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die, at least not today.”

“Okay.” Shen Chen didn’t hesitate in the slightest, which made Ye Tianlong feel much more nervous.

“He agreed?” Ye Tianlong thought.

Ye Tianlong asked Shen Chen to swear. “You… you swear! Swear that if you try to kill me, you will let zombies tear you to pieces.”

“Yes, I swear. If I try to kill you after you tell me the address, I will let zombies tear me to pieces and eat me,” Shen Chen said immediately.

Without any hesitation, Shen Chen said what Ye Tianlong wanted in an extremely calm way, as if he weren’t talking about himself, but Ye Tianlong was close by Shen Chen. He saw the suppressed anger in Shen Chen’s eyes, which made him suddenly believe Shen Chen’s words.

“Good!” Ye Tianlong gnashed his teeth and said quickly, “No. 388, Chengnan Road!” Then, he struggled to stand up and stumbled away.

“I’m not dead. As long as I can find a hospital, I can live, and then I’ll make you pay for what I suffered today,” Ye Tianlong thought, walking away.

However, the next moment, Ye Tianlong’s pupils suddenly stuck out! His other foot was pierced by a knife. Before he could make a sound, his right hand was nailed to the ground, and then his left hand.

Ye Tianlong’s legs, feet, hands, and arms were repeatedly pierced by the small kitchen knife within ten minutes. The tremendous pain made Ye Tianlong howl wildly. His blood gushed from the holes in his flesh.

However, he was still struggling. “Let me go. You promised! Let me go!”

He couldn’t imagine that Shen Chen would lie to him, but the next moment, the wicked Black Blade was slowly raised above Ye Tianlong’s head.

Ye Tianlong was desperate. He looked at the Black Blade above his head and murmured, “You’re a liar!”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Shen Chen’s body fall down, and blood gushed out from Ye Tianlong’s neck like a fountain. “He lied to me,” Ye Tianlong repeated in his mind. “He said he wouldn’t kill me. He said he would be torn to pieces by zombies if he tried.”

Looking into Ye Tianlong’s eyes, which still held questions after he died, Shen Chen calmly wiped the blood from his Black Blade. “I said I would be torn up by zombies. Oh, zombies did that to me once. Did you think that I would care if it happened again?” Shen Chen said softly as if he were laughing at himself or something else he was thinking about.

He was apparently excited. What he had tried to hide in his eyes was about to come to the surface. The next moment, he turned around, standing proudly. His clothes were swaying in the night wind, and blood dripped from his Black Blade.

All of a sudden, in the eyes of all the people present, it seemed that there was only one person left between heaven and earth. It seemed that this person bore the distance between heaven and earth and bore all the responsibilities of the world.

This scene was remembered by the people present for many years later, and was never forgotten.

“Rubbish! Rubbish!” Zhou Xiaobo’s good friend suddenly grabbed a chair and rushed over. He roared wildly and smashed the chair on Ye Tianlong’s body.

All of the people went unprecedentedly mad. Each of them took what they could get that was near them and smashed it on Ye Tianlong’s body. They were furiously crazy. Finally, Ye Tianlong’s body became a rotten meat pie flowing on the ground.

Ye Tianlong’s head rolled to the side. The ground was covered with grass, soil, and blood. His eyes stared at his body slowly turning into a pile of rotten meat. If he still had any residual consciousness at this time, he was most likely thinking that he had never imagined that the end of his story would be so miserable. However, he was responsible for all of it.

After all of the people smashed his body like crazy, someone suddenly asked, “Where’s Shen Chen?”

Shen Chen disappeared in front of the supermarket. All of the people slowly put down their weapons and looked in the distance. At that moment, all of them deeply carved the extraordinary young man’s name in their hearts. He would be remembered forever and ever.
