Chapter 520: Chapter 520 Master Zeng Dies Chapter 520: Chapter 520 Master Zeng Dies After finishing her sentence, Zhong Niangyao grabbed the black fireball in her hand and walked step by step towards Master Zeng, her face adorned with a radiant smile. In any other setting, this might have been captivating.

But under these circumstances, Master Zeng felt nothing but creepiness, his heart filled with dread.

“What exactly do you want to do?”

His trembling voice revealed the fear within him. He had a vague idea of what Zhong Niangyao intended to do, but he dared not believe it. Yet, the mere thought of that possibility filled him with endless fear.

He wanted to escape, but the moment he had unleashed the Hundred Ghosts Grudge, he had suffered backlash. Now, he was losing too much blood, and every inch of his bones ached. In his current state, he couldn’t even muster the strength to move a half-step.

All he could do now was slump to the ground, watching as Zhong Niangyao drew closer and closer until she stopped in front of him.

“Do you think it’s fun, huh?” Zhong Niangyao tilted her head with a smile, like a mischievous child, “But I don’t find it amusing. So, I’ll return this to you!”

As she spoke, she gently pushed the black ball she held directly onto Master Zeng.

The black fireball seemed to have a mind of its own; the moment it stuck onto Master Zeng’s body, it suddenly turned into flames. Although it lacked the high heat of a flame, the malice of the Hundred Demons within it was profoundly corrosive.

“Ah–”

As the flames engulfed him, it was as though he had been thrown into a pool of highly concentrated sulfuric acid; his skin began to corrode, then the flesh, and finally the bones.

The most agonizing aspect was the slow pace of the process, which lasted about half an hour. Throughout this time, one’s consciousness remained exceedingly lucid, able to vividly feel the painful dissolution of one’s flesh and bones into ashes, yet powerless to stop it.

Many who died from the Hundred Ghosts Grudge became so broken by the torture that even their ghosts turned feeble-minded. Henceforth, for the rest of time, they could only be the fools they had become.

Master Zeng’s piercing screams echoed throughout the house, sounding especially haunting in the quiet home.

Meng Rou watched everything unfold. She wanted to scream in terror, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she was too frightened to make any sound. Her breathing grew rapid, her back soaked with cold sweat, and she collapsed onto the ground. Then, a puddle of yellow liquid suddenly appeared beneath her, carrying a pungent odor of urine.

She wanted to flee, but she knew she had no escape. Moreover, even if she could have escaped, her legs were too weak from fear to run, let alone to stand up.

She didn’t know how much time had passed until Master Zeng’s screams ceased and the eerie black flames disappeared after not too long. In the end, not even a pinch of ash was left on the ground.

It was only then that Meng Rou soberly recognized a fact: Master Zeng had vanished, vanished right before her eyes, without leaving a trace in the world.

After Master Zeng’s disappearance, Zhong Niangyao nonchalantly formed several hand seals, and a golden light flew towards the spot where he had just vanished.

After dealing with this so-called Master Zeng, Zhong Niangyao then slowly turned and walked towards Meng Rou.

Every step Zhong Niangyao took sounded like a death knell to Meng Rou. Zhong Niangyao had just killed Master Zeng, how could she possibly let her go!

Thinking of this, Meng Rou felt as if she were about to collapse, as if she might lose consciousness at any second. Yet she dared not close her eyes, afraid that once she did, she would never wake up again.

Seeing Meng Rou trembling and close at hand, Zhong Niangyao’s lips curled with a mocking smile, “Meng Rou, are you afraid?”

At that moment, Meng Rou’s body shivered, her lips quivering slightly, unable to say anything, let alone respond to Zhong Niangyao’s question.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curled with a smile full of malice, like a cat playing with a mouse, smiling at the almost petrified Meng Rou, she spoke, “You shouldn’t have forgotten, right? It was you who tried everything to lure me here. How could you feel afraid, huh?”

Meng Rou trembled like a sieve, and finally managed to speak in a faltering voice, “Zhong Niangyao, please spare me! I beg you, spare me, I really realize my mistake. I swear, I’ll never trouble you again, just let me go this time, please?”

“No,” Zhong Niangyao pursed her lips, shook her head, and smilingly replied, “Do you think I look like the Holy Mother? Don’t forget, just a moment ago, you were after my life! If I let you go, wouldn’t I be setting a tiger free?”

“No, no,” Meng Rou hurriedly said, “I swear, I’ll never appear before you again, I’ll make sure you never even hear my name, okay? Please, just spare me this one time! I was just momentarily possessed, I didn’t mean it, I really didn’t.”

As she spoke, tears of fear kept rolling down from Meng Rou’s eyes.

In another context, her tears might have evoked sympathy. But under these circumstances, and even after an incident of incontinence, they failed to evoke even a shred of pity, instead, they were merely repulsive.

“Hehehe, do you even believe what you’re saying?” Zhong Niangyao found it funny, “Even the tears you’re shedding right now, to me, they’re nothing but crocodile tears.”

Meng Rou didn’t know what to say. All she could do was keep shaking her head while crying, hoping that this might somehow soften Zhong Niangyao’s heart.

As if she had thought of something amusing, Zhong Niangyao suddenly said, “Meng Rou, do you want to meet Master Zeng again? After all, you were accomplices this time! Maybe you have something to say to him!”

Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Meng Rou felt a chill surge from the soles of her feet. She shivered and replied, “No, I don’t want…”

Completely ignoring Meng Rou’s fear, Zhong Niangyao declared with a gleeful tone, “It seems you’re really thrilled about it! So, it’s decided! Maybe he has some last words for you!”
