Screams came from outside the window. Wu Tian and Li Xingyun were startled and rushed to the window to see what was happening.
Their private room was on the second floor. Looking down, they saw the street had descended into chaos. Several cars were piled up, and people seemed to be lying on the ground.
Could it be a car accident? But that didn't seem right. They hadn't heard any collision sounds.
As they were pondering this, more screams erupted, this time from downstairs. Wu Tian felt an ominous premonition. He hurried to see what was happening below.
But as soon as he reached the door, with a bang, the door was ripped from its frame and flew into the room! Startled, Wu Tian smashed the wooden door with a punch and looked forward.
The sight before him seemed to freeze his very nerves. Standing at the doorway was the bald man, but he was covered in blood, with two bloody holes in his neck, looking terrifying. Blood dripped onto the floor. The bald man's face was contorted, his features twisted as if in extreme rage or agony.
"What's going on!" Li Xingyun was also stunned. "How did he become like this?"
Wu Tian was filled with questions. He quickly scanned the bald man's body. With his keen eyes, he could tell that the blood was real. Moreover, the bald man had several horrifying wounds. The gashes were deep, as if someone had plunged a knife into his flesh and then violently slashed, leaving his internal organs exposed and mangled.
But how could this be? Regardless of who had inflicted such brutal injuries, with the wounds he had sustained, he should have been dead! A suffocating sense of confusion enveloped the room.
Regardless, the bald man was no longer a normal human. Wu Tian called out to him sternly, "Hey! What happened to you!"
The bald man gritted his teeth, a trail of sticky blood trickling from his lips. He spoke in a garbled, distorted voice, "Die... you all will... die!" As he uttered the last word, a ferocious glint flashed in his eyes! With a roar, he charged at Wu Tian like a wild beast!
Seeing this, Wu Tian's expression sharpened. He spread his arms to block the attack. Despite his severe injuries, the bald man seemed to have been reinforced, his body brimming with immense strength. This was not human strength. In a daze, Wu Tian felt as if he were wrestling a bull.
The bald man let out guttural cries, completely losing his sanity. His jaw gnashed relentlessly, his teeth clacking together as if he intended to bite Wu Tian to death. Honestly, the scene was terrifying. Wu Tian had only witnessed such horror in zombie movies.
At this moment, he noticed the bloody holes in the bald man's neck and his heart suddenly clenched. Wait, zombies?! A sense of profound shock surged through his mind like a storm. But in that moment of distraction, the bald man roared and flung him away!
Then, the bald man, baring his teeth and flailing his arms, charged at Li Xingyun. He crushed wine bottles underfoot, and a large round table was shattered as if it were fragile paper. Any ordinary person witnessing such a terrifying sight would have likely cowered in fear.
But Li Xingyun was no pushover. His expression was calm and collected. Just as the bald man was about to close in, he delivered a swift kick, sending the bald man flying back. Wu Tian, recovering with a swift roll, leaped to his feet and lunged forward, seizing the bald man by the neck. He then placed a palm on the bald man's back, channeling his spiritual energy and infusing it with lightning.
The bald man let out a piercing scream, his body convulsing violently. Without hesitation, Li Xingyun drew his sword and plunged it into the bald man's chest! The bald man opened his bloody maw and let out a more agonizing roar. Yet, under such an assault, he still did not die. Instead, he erupted with even greater strength! With a powerful heave, he flung both Wu Tian and Li Xingyun away!
Wu Tian flew into the corridor, unharmed but increasingly bewildered. "This is wrong, how can this be? In just over ten minutes, how did this bald man become like this? What did he go through?"
Inside the room, the bald man, like a goaded beast, continued to attack Li Xingyun. Li Xingyun, with his formidable strength, handled the onslaught with ease. Wu Tian did not rush to join the fray. Instead, he activated his clairvoyant vision, carefully examining the bald man's body. The bald man had endured such attacks without a scratch, indicating that ordinary means would not suffice. To put it absurdly, the man had become virtually immortal!
But could immortality truly exist? No, there had to be a weakness! Golden light flickered in Wu Tian's eyes as he scrutinized every part of the bald man. Suddenly, he noticed something unusual around the bald man's heart! In the very center of his heart, there was a small wisp of black energy! Such a thing should not exist within a human body. Perhaps this was the key to breaking through!
With this realization, Wu Tian immediately rushed into the private room and threw the bald man, who was grappling with Li Xingyun, out. Li Xingyun was unharmed. He looked at the bald man and said, "This guy has turned into a monster. Get out of the way. It seems I need to use my real skills to deal with him."
Wu Tian said gravely, "Don't rush. I've found his weakness. If we can pierce his heart, we should be able to subdue him."
"This is too dangerous. Let me handle it, lest you get hurt."
"The heart, you say?" Li Xingyun chuckled at this. "I didn't expect such a monster to have a heart. If you're right, then let me do it. It's just hitting a target, too easy. I've been practicing this since I was a child!"
As he spoke, Li Xingyun gripped his long sword and flashed past Wu Tian like lightning, thrusting his sword towards the bald man!
