Chapter 320: If You Have the Ability, Don't Run

~9 min read 1,643 words

"Why has it come to me? Who can I go to for justice!"

After circling around, who would have thought that Shen Yu would finally point the spear at him; this made Leng Hanye feel that something was very wrong. He knew whether he had done it or not.

Who didn't know he was a famously honest man, a true gentleman; how could he do such a thing?

That's not right, is the Shen Yu in front of him real? Could it be a trap?

The next moment, Shen Yu stepped forward directly, and Leng Hanye subconsciously wanted to resist. Perhaps his guess was right, and the Shen Yu in front of him was an impostor.

However, this thought had barely surfaced before it was crushed. There was no other reason; the gap was simply too large, large enough to make one despair.

He usually prided himself on being a master of some standing; if he were out in the Jianghu, he would certainly be someone of note.

But here, as Shen Yu walked toward him, just as he wanted to resist, a terrifying and dreadful aura had already enveloped him.

It was like three mountains and five peaks pressing down on his shoulders, like the waters of the four seas drowning his entire body; let alone moving, it felt as if even his breathing had suffocated and stopped at this moment.

"It has nothing to do with him, it's not him!" Seeing that Shen Yu seemed to want to make a move against his father, Leng Shishen hurriedly blocked the way in front of Shen Yu.

Although he knew that doing this was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and he usually hated his unreliable father behind him so much that his teeth itched.

But when Life and Death were truly at stake, when his father encountered danger, he still chose to stand in front of his father.

"Your reaction tells me it is him, and I seem to know why!" Looking at Leng Hanye behind the other, Shen Yu's expression changed slightly.

Under the crushing weight of his aura and the stimulation of a Life and Death crisis, a great change seemed to have occurred in Leng Hanye at this moment.

At this time, his entire body was suffused with an eerie red color; it was the appearance of being roasted by scorching flames, just like a steamed shrimp.

"Lord Leng, you are very wrong!"

"What is wrong with me? I am perfectly fine!" Raising his head, Leng Hanye's eyes had become blood-red from congestion, radiating a heart-palpitating, manic aura from the inside out.

It was as if what stood before them was not a person, but a ferocious beast.

"No, no, why do I have a craving for blood? What on earth is going on?"

"Shen, Shen, come back here!" He reached out his hand, wanting to push aside Leng Shishen who was blocking him; only by truly experiencing Shen Yu's terror could one understand what kind of horror it was.

Just a moment ago, it had made one lose the ability to resist, even feeling as if suffocating, as if the world were spinning, and even his consciousness began to blur.

His own son was blocking the way in front of Shen Yu, and even had the posture of fighting to the death; wasn't this just asking for death?

But what Leng Hanye did not know was that it was not Shen Yu who made him feel dizzy and his consciousness blur, but himself.

For some reason, Leng Hanye suddenly felt a bit hot, as if there were a fire burning in his heart, burning more and more fiercely.

In the end, it felt as if a raging fire had scorched his entire body, as if it were about to burn him into powder.

Their Leng Family's unique skill was clearly a cold-attribute Cultivation Method; why would he feel a scorching heat from the inside out? Could this be Shen Yu's doing?

"Master, Master!" The appearance of her husband beside her gave Lady Leng a fright; this was the first time she had seen her husband become like this.

Just by looking at him, it actually gave one an inexplicable sense of fear. They were a couple who lived together, yet now he seemed so strange and terrifying.

"Father, Father!" Leng Hanye's current appearance made Leng Shishen feel a palpitation, and he immediately pressed his hands onto him.

Waves of cold Qi surged into the other's body, attempting to suppress the flames constantly gushing out from within him. But this bit of cold air seemed forever unable to stop the raging flames burning from inside his body.

"Shen, what is wrong with your father? Husband, what is wrong with you?"

"I don't know what is wrong with him either; he has been like this since more than ten days ago, and only blood can calm him down."

"After he kills someone and calms down, he will forget everything he has done and will have no memory at all!"

"So, it really is Husband..." Originally, when Shen Yu said it was her husband just now, she was full of disbelief, even thinking that Shen Yu was biting at random.

But who would have thought that the clown was actually herself; her son had finally cleared his name, but now her husband had become the murderer. For a moment, Lady Leng felt sorrow welling up, and tears began to stream down instantly.

She was just a woman; what was she to do in the face of such a situation?

Suddenly, it seemed as if some power was about to burst forth from within Leng Hanye, breaking free from Leng Shishen's restraint in one go, and even throwing him far away.

His bloodthirsty eyes looked at Lady Leng, who was sobbing, as if looking at a tempting delicacy.

Just as he was about to make a move, Shen Yu, who was beside him, directly pinned him there, forcibly suppressing the energy that was about to burst forth.

Under Shen Yu's control, that energy retreated rapidly as if it had encountered a natural enemy, until it finally hid itself once again.

After the power receded, Leng Hanye opened his dazed eyes; he only felt drenched in sweat all over.

Moreover, it was as if some voice in his heart was telling him to run, to stay away from Shen Yu; it seemed to be the voice of biological instinct.

"It's me, it really is me!" Recalling everything that had just happened, Leng Hanye raised his hands in disbelief. Just a moment ago, he had actually wanted to kill his own wife.

That craving for blood had suppressed his humanity, and even suppressed the feelings he had held for his family and wife for so many years; he seemed to have turned into a monster!

"It is this old man's fault, it really is this old man's fault!" Closing his eyes, Leng Hanye did not want to believe all this, but the facts were right before his eyes, and he could not help but believe them.

"Shen, why didn't you say so earlier? How could this old man be the kind of person who doesn't understand reason!"

"If I had said it, what would you have done? I know your foul temper very well!"

"You!" Leng Hanye was momentarily speechless; no one knows a father like his son. With his own temper, knowing he would become like this, how could he possibly live on?

Take him as he was now; in fact, he already had the intention to die.

No wonder Shen would not say anything, would rather die than reveal a single word; he was protecting his father who had turned into a monster.

It was not that he had failed him, but that he had failed him; he had truly been a failure as a father!

"Lord Shen, is there still any hope for my father?"

After his son's words fell, Leng Hanye hurriedly looked at Shen Yu. This was actually what he himself wanted to ask: is there still hope for me?

"I have temporarily helped him suppress it!" Withdrawing his power, Shen Yu looked at Leng Hanye carefully, and only after a long while did he withdraw his gaze.

"This is a power hidden in your bloodline. This power has been activated, which is why it triggered his bloodthirsty instinct. Your Leng Family's bloodline has a problem!"

Precisely because this power was not mental, but in the bloodline, it was usually hidden in the bloodline and difficult to discover without erupting; no wonder he hadn't noticed it.

"It is the Spiritual Qi Surge; the surging Spiritual Qi activated your bloodline!"

Looking up at the sky, the Spiritual Qi was still pouring down; the Spiritual Qi of the world was still increasing, and it was now dense to a certain degree.

The power hidden in the Leng Family's bloodline—the Spiritual Qi Surge caused their bloodline to be activated.

If they could resist it, it would be fine; under the reinforcement of this power, their strength would surely increase greatly, but if they could not resist it, they would likely turn into the most bloodthirsty ferocious beasts.

"No, you are of the Leng Family, and if you are like this, then everyone in your Leng Family must also be like this."

"The Leng Family is a large clan with thousands of people from top to bottom. If even with your strength you cannot fully suppress this activated bloodline, then what about the members of the Leng Family whose strength is far inferior to yours?"

"If the bloodlines of the Leng Family were all activated, and they could not suppress this bloodthirsty instinct, I fear the city where the Leng Family resides would be left without a single blade of grass!"
