Chapter 657: Is There Still Any Saving Me?

"Why has it come to me? Who am I supposed to reason with!"

After circling around, who would have thought that Shen Yu would finally point the spearhead at himself? This made Leng Hanye feel that something was very wrong. Whether he had done it or not, didn't he know himself?

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 before 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 before him was an impostor.

However, this thought had barely surfaced before it was trampled out. There was no other reason; the gap was simply too large, so large it made one despair.

He usually prided himself on being a master of some standing; if he were out in the pugilistic world, he would certainly be a figure of some importance.

But here, as Shen Yu walked toward him, just as he wanted to resist, a terrifying, horrific 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 that unreliable father behind him often made him grit his teeth in annoyance,

when Life and Death were truly faced, when his own 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 massive 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 turned blood-red from congestion, radiating a heart-palpitating, manic aura from the inside out.

It was as if standing 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 people lose the ability to resist, even causing a sensation of suffocation, 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 risking his life; wasn't this just asking for death?

But what Leng Hanye didn't know was that it wasn't Shen Yu making his world spin and his consciousness blur, but himself.

He didn't know why, but Leng Hanye suddenly felt a bit hot, as if there were a fire burning in his heart, burning brighter and brighter.

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

Their Leng Family's unique art 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!" Seeing her husband's appearance, Lady Leng was startled; this was the first time she had seen her husband become like this.

Just one look was enough to make one feel 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's heart palpitate, and he immediately pressed his hands onto him.

Waves of cold Qi surged into the other's body, attempting to suppress the flames constantly erupting from within him. But this bit of cold air seemed unable to ever 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 for over ten days, and only blood can calm him down."

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

"So, it really is Husband who..." Originally, when Shen Yu said it was her husband, she had been full of disbelief, even thinking Shen Yu was just biting at people randomly.

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, grief welled up in Lady Leng, and tears began to stream down instantly.

She was just a woman; how was she to handle 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 the sobbing Lady Leng, as if looking at a tempting delicacy.

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

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

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

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 become 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 of this, but the facts were right before him, and he could not help but believe.

"Shen, why didn't you say so earlier? How could this old man be someone 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 choked for words. No one knows a father like his son; with his own temper, if he knew he would become like this, how could he possibly continue to live?

Take him now, for instance; he actually already harbored a desire for death.

No wonder Shen refused to say anything, refusing to reveal even half a word even if beaten to death; he was protecting his father who had turned into a monster.

It wasn't that he had let him down, it was that he had let him down; he had truly failed as a father!

"Lord Shen, is there still any saving 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 any saving 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. The people of your Leng Family have a problem with their bloodline!"

Precisely because this power is not mental, but in the bloodline, it is usually hidden and difficult to discover unless it erupts; no wonder he hadn't noticed it.

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

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

The power hidden in the Leng Family's bloodline was activated by the Spiritual Qi Surge.

If they can resist it, it will be fine; under the reinforcement of this power, their strength will surely increase greatly. But if they cannot resist it, they will likely turn into the most bloodthirsty of fierce beasts.

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

"The Leng Family is a large clan with over a thousand 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!"
