Chapter 731 - 729: Trivial Matters
Mo Lin’s spirit emitted a faint gray light in Chen Xi’s palm.
The Soul Stealing Ghost was knocked to the ground, and Chen Xi’s slap nearly shattered him into a Scattered Soul.
"Lord Chen Xi?"
The Soul Stealing Ghost exclaimed when he saw Chen Xi.
Every ghost in the human realm knows Chen Xi.
She opened the path of the Ghost God.
Even when the ghosts of the human realm were persecuted by Evil Spirits, she was the one who stood up to protect them and took them to Beihai.
In the eyes of ghosts, she is a Ghost God.
Jiang Shi quickly retreated, as the oppressive aura from this ghost before him made it hard for him to breathe.
With just one hand, she broke the Jiang Family’s array, a testament to her terrifying power.
A glimmer of light flashed in Jiang Chen’s pupils; he had gambled correctly.
Just as he suspected, the spirit before him had an extraordinary background.
"Thud!"
Jiang Chen knelt on the ground before Mo Lin, pleading, "Senior..."
"I beg you to kill my brother and my mother."
Jiang Chen had no choice but to gamble.
He gambled that Mo Lin would be willing to kill these two people.
Otherwise, after Mo Lin left, he would have no place in this family.
"Senior, if you don’t kill my brother and my mother,
I will surely die after you leave."
Jiang Chen spoke cautiously, trying not to let Mo Lin feel morally coerced.
Yet he wished Mo Lin would help him kill his brother and mother.
Jiang Chen had been enduring this family for a long time.
If he missed today, he would have no more chances.
"Senior, this guy even wants to kill his own brother, he has no humanity.
If you help him, he could harm you in the future." Jiang Shi respectfully reminded Mo Lin.
"This guy kills his kin, his mind is malicious, he is rebellious."
The stepmother also reminded Mo Lin, "He is morally blackmailing you.
He wants to exploit you because he saved you.
It’s possible that today’s events were orchestrated by Jiang Chen; he is a scheming malicious man."
Jiang Chen panicked, for a moment not knowing how to explain.
"It’s not like that...
No, no... they deserve to die... I’m not inherently rebellious."
Jiang Chen feared Mo Lin’s misunderstanding.
Rather than correcting it, his explanation made it worse, creating more misunderstandings.
"Senior, I have no malicious intentions.. I didn’t..." Jiang Chen tried his best to explain to Mo Lin.
"That’s enough." Mo Lin interrupted Jiang Chen’s words.
Jiang Chen nervously clenched his clothes, sweating from his forehead.
At this moment, he felt utterly hopeless.
He felt that this senior before him would abandon him.
Now, with the chaos in the East District, no one would easily trust another.
With today’s events being exaggerated by Jiang Shi and his stepmother, Mo Lin might not care about what happens here.
Especially since Mo Lin’s spirit was captured by his Soul Stealing Ghost, making the situation even more suspicious.
"Is killing those two enough?" Mo Lin asked Jiang Chen inquiringly.
Mo Lin has his own judgment.
He will not be swayed by a few words from others.
Moreover, Jiang Chen did indeed protect Mo Lin; regardless of the reason, Mo Lin would help him today.
"Ah..."
Jiang Chen was stunned, not expecting Mo Lin to agree so readily.
At that moment, Mo Lin appeared sacred in his eyes.
It was as if a ray of light shone into his heart, causing Jiang Chen to tear up.
He cried... tears flowed uncontrollably.
For Mo Lin, this was just a trivial matter.
But for Jiang Chen, this matter touched his soul.
He thought about all the possible outcomes.
But he never expected this senior before him to be so decisive.
At that moment, Mo Lin was like a Savior.
At least that’s what Jiang Chen believed.
No doubts, no confusion, not even hesitation.
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.
Mo Lin was slightly surprised to see Jiang Chen actually cry.
"Solve your own problem." Mo Lin said slowly.
"I solve it myself?" Jiang Chen wondered if Mo Lin was letting go?
What did he mean?
While Jiang Chen was puzzled, Chen Xi raised her hand, Ghost Qi emerged, enveloping Jiang Shi and the stepmother, then delivered them to Jiang Chen.
Only then did Jiang Chen understand that he had to kill them himself.
Jiang Chen looked around and, finding no suitable object, went into the house and fetched an iron rod.
There were no sharp tools in the house, only this iron rod to use.
Jiang Chen swung the iron rod hard at his stepmother’s head.
"You vile woman, don’t think I don’t know it was you who killed my father."
"Bang!"
He exerted a great deal of force, and when the iron rod struck his stepmother’s head, there was a dull thud, but no blood flowed.
"You thought I didn’t know what you did?
Killing my father little by little, and then reaping the benefits?"
Possibly because the first swing didn’t draw blood, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and applied more force.
"The Soul Stealing Ghost is a relic my father left to me, and you dared try to take it; you are worse than pigs and dogs."
"You deserve to die... you truly deserve to die."
"Bang bang bang..."
Jiang Chen vented his emotions while swinging the iron rod down on his stepmother’s head.
His stepmother’s head started bleeding, and with every swing, the marks deepened until her skull cracked.
"With no father around, you bully me like this?"
The courtyard echoed with the heart-piercing screams of his stepmother.
"Son, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please don’t kill me, I’m begging you, don’t kill me." his stepmother pleaded to Jiang Chen.
"Son?"
Jiang Chen bellowed, "Did you ever treat me like your son?
You only preserved my life to sacrifice me for your biological son, you think I didn’t know?"
The iron rod in Jiang Chen’s hand was soaked with blood, and after his stepmother’s head cracked, the skull became very fragile, shattering like a watermelon with a few more swings.
Blood splashed on Jiang Chen’s face.
With his stepmother dead, Jiang Chen turned towards Jiang Shi.
"Brother, don’t you like taking my things?"
Jiang Chen swung the iron rod onto Jiang Shi’s leg, breaking it with one strike.
"You damned thing, taking everything.
Illegitimate child, you know you’re not of the Jiang Family, don’t you?"
Jiang Chen reprimanded, "You’re just someone else’s child your mom had.
Your mom feared exposure and had my father killed to keep it secret."
"Learning Soul Capturing Technique? Go to hell."
Jiang Chen didn’t end Jiang Shi’s life quickly.
He decided to torture Jiang Shi little by little.
He wanted to vent the anger suppressed in his heart for so many years.
"Brother, no matter what, I am your brother, spare my life, I’m begging you."
Jiang Shi knew very well that this brother wouldn’t spare him.
But he feared death, and even with a one-in-a-million chance, he wanted to try.
What if Jiang Chen suddenly had a change of heart?
"Spare you, hell no."
Jiang Shi cursed, hitting Jiang Shi’s face with the iron rod.
The blow distorted Jiang Shi’s face, knocking out a few teeth.
"You damned bastard, just die."
Jiang Shi swung the iron rod again.
Once...
Three times...
Ten times...
Thirty times...
Jiang Shi was long dead, but Jiang Chen’s actions did not halt.
He continued to swing the iron rod.
Even though Jiang Shi was a corpse, he didn’t let up.
Jiang Shi’s head had turned to pulp, and his body was a gruesome sight.
