Chapter 472 : Settling Scores From The Past Life (3)
The masked demon’s lips curled up into a mocking sneer before his laughter erupted in a chilling melody that pierced the air. It wasn’t a sound of amusement, but a twisted symphony of malice that seemed to claw its way through the intricate iron mask.
Zhang Fengxi felt a wave of ice wash over him. The laughter scraped against his very soul, sending a shiver down his spine that threatened to paralyze him.
"What’s so funny?" Zhang Fengxi’s spear sang a deadly aria as it pressed closer to his opponent’s neck. With a smooth and light flip, his opponent launched himself backward, escaping the blade’s lethal kiss within a split second.
Light like a sparrow, he landed on top of one of the palace’s broken pillars.
He pressed two fingers to his lips, then unleashed a sharp whistle that cut through the air.
A collective cry was heard above their heads as five figures were shoved off the highest tower of Wuyang Palace. Zhang Fengxi braced himself for the sickening thud of bodies hitting the stony ground below, but it did not happen.
Instead of plummeting to their deaths, the condemned were suspended mid-air, dangling precariously at the end of thick ropes held aloft by a group of grotesque demons, perching atop the palace walls.
Zhang Fengxi’s eyes widened when he recognized the current Wuyang Palace Master and Palace Mistress. The three younger figures, two boys and one girl, were none other than their children.
The Wuyang Palace Master’s body hung limp, his once-proud form a grotesque canvas of bloody wounds. His wife and children, however, were still alive. The disheveled state of their clothes suggested that they were dragged by the demons all the way to the top of the tower.
