Chapter 270 The Demon Undead 3

The mirror showed an image of a completely rotten face, filled with worms and flies.

"How… how did this happen? Are these her true colors?"

Ye Shaoyang turned the Eight Trigram Mirror around, "This mirror has two sides. One shows you the truth, one shows you the karma. Her true body is a corpse, nothing much to see. What I showed you just now was her karma. This means that if she did not turn into a corpse undead, she would look like this now."

Xie Yuqing took a deep breath to calm herself down. Suddenly, the room door was opened. The duo stared down in anticipation. Accountant Liu came into the room with a bowl of red liquid in his hands. He gently passed it to the old woman on the bed, "Mommy, I bought you something different today. It's cow's blood. Drink it while it's still warm."

"Mmm." The old woman reached out her hands, which were as skinny as bird's claws, and took the bowl from Accountant Liu. Then, she gulped the bowl of blood down in one breath.

Xie Yuqing almost puked upon seeing this. Accountant Liu, on the other hand, was happy to see his mom satisfied with the blood. He took the now empty bowl from her and said, "Mommy, please get some rest, while I prepare some beef for you. It won't take long."

Right after Accountant Liu left the room, an unlucky bat flew into the house through the window on the roof. It flew around the room, looking for a way out.

Suddenly, Granny Liu stood up. Her eyes brightened up, as she stared at the bat with hungry eyes. Meanwhile, the bat was unaware of the danger it was about to face, and it flew passed her several more times. Granny Liu jumped up into the air with lightning speed and grabbed the bat. She was so quick in her action, it was almost hard to believe she was the fragile old woman resting on the bed just a minute ago.

Granny Liu caught the bat and directly ate it whole. She chewed it alive like a snack, and fresh blood dripped down from her mouth, as she enjoyed her little meal with a satisfied look on her face.

Xie Yuqing could not take the sight anymore, so she backed away from the window to catch her breath. Then, she turned to Ye Shaoyang with a horrified look on her face, "What do we do now?"

"There's no other choice; we have to get down and kill her."

Xie Yuqing frowned, "You mean, without her son noticing?"

"Of course. You saw how he treated her. If we kill his mother in front of him, there's no way he will keep quiet about it. If he reports us, how should you explain this to your boss? Convince your boss that we were killing an undead?"

"Then… it's your call." Xie Yuqing thought for a while, "However, doesn't Accountant Liu realize his mother is not a human anymore?"

"Maybe not. Perhaps he thought his mother has some gotten some kind of illness that requires her to drink blood and eat fresh meat. Maybe he has doubts too, but there is no way for him to find out."

"His gesture is quite rare. Look at how he treats his mom. He is really filial. I feel bad for him." Xie Yuqing said.

Ye Shaoyang glared at her, "That old woman has passed away long ago. Eighty percent of her Hun is in the Underworld now. The corpse now is just using his innocence to help itself with its cultivation. We are helping him."

Ye Shaoyang looked back into the window. The old woman was now done with her snack. She had returned to her bed and was lying on the bed motionless again, as if nothing had happened.

Chopping sounds could be heard from the outside of the room now. Ye Shaoyang guessed that Accountant Liu was preparing meat for his mother, so he would not come into the room for now. Ye Shaoyang steadied himself at the side of the window and leaped with an agile move while looking up at Xie Yuqing, "You…."

Xie Yuqing leaped down too, following Ye Shaoyang, while she asked, "What?"

"I was about to ask you to stay where you were." Ye Shaoyang shrugged helplessly. He looked at the bed. The old woman had stood up from her bed and was staring at the duo with lust. She let out a deep growl like an animal.

Xie Yuqing hid behind Ye Shaoyang, as she asked in fear, "What does she want?"

"She is treating us as her food now."

"Seriously? Doesn't she realize that you are a Heavenly Master?"

"She has no soul. Her cultivation is not enough to judge yet." Ye Shaoyang wielded his Date Wooden Sword and stabbed at the old woman.

The old woman grabbed the sword. To her, it felt like she had grabbed fire with her bare hands, as black smoke rose into the air. At the same time, her skin was burned away. She quickly let go of the sword and took a few steps back.

"How dare you even grab my sword? Now you have tasted its power." Ye Shaoyang laughed a little as he wielded his sword and stabbed at the old woman again. This time, she knew better to avoid it. She got down on her knees and crawled to the side as quick as lightning.

Ye Shaoyang carefully observed as she crawled around on the floor. He frowned a little, as the old woman moved around the room in a circle. In the blink of an eye, the old woman suddenly leaped at Xie Yuqing, who was standing behind Ye Shaoyang. The old woman was too quick. When Xie Yuqing realized that she was in danger, the old woman was already a feet away from Xie Yuqing, with both her hands extended out, wanting to grab her.

"With the power of Yin and Yang!" Ye Shaoyang waved the sword in the air and chopped at the old woman's arms. Both arms were instantly detached from her body, and no blood was even shed. The old woman yelled in pain, as it backed into a corner.

"Trying to escape?" Ye Shaoyang raised his hand and darted out eight copper coins at her. Five of the coins pinned to the floor, while the rest pinned into the wall, forming a barrier that trapped the old woman. The old woman tried to run, but a golden ray emitted by the coins bounced the old woman back into place.

Ye Shaoyang did not want to waste any more time. He rushed toward the lady. Just as he raised his sword and was about to slash the old lady into pieces, a loud thump suddenly sounded from behind him. Ye Shaoyang turned back. Xie Yuqing was lying on the floor in pain, with her hands covering her head. A furious looking man stood behind her, with a long wooden stick in his hands.

It was Accountant Liu! When did he get into the room?

"I'll kill you both!" Accountant Liu wielded his wooden stick and struck toward Ye Shaoyang's head. Ye Shaoyang avoided it swiftly and responded by hitting the man's hand, knocking away the stick. With his other hand, Ye Shaoyang gripped Accountant Liu by his neck and pushed him to the wall.

"Little Ye, don't hurt him!"

Xie Yuqing's voice suddenly came from behind him. Ye Shaoyang turned back. She had already gotten up on her feet, although her hand was still rubbing her head, obviously pained. Ye Shaoyang worriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Not hurt." Xie Yuqing looked up at Accountant Liu, "Don't hurt him. He is innocent."

Ye Shaoyang's mind started racing with thoughts, Now that he caught us in action, our plan to do this undiscovered has failed. The only thing we can do now is to convince Accountant Liu about the truth. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire. After all, we are breaking into his house. To make matters worse, Xie Yuqing is wearing her police uniform right now. Accountant Liu can surely recognize her.

As Ye Shaoyang pinned Accountant Liu to the wall, he looked at the old woman at the other corner of the wall, "Do you know that your mother is already dead?"

"Bullsh*t! She is just sick!" Accountant Liu yelled, "Let go of me! I want to report this matter to the police! You are breaking into my house and committing a crime!"

"I'm the police." Xie Yuqing said weakly, while her hand remained on her head. She looked at Accountant Liu with a sincere look, and she explained the situation as simply as she could so that the latter would understand. Then, she introduced Ye Shaoyang as a sorcerer who was trying to help.

Accountant Liu was not convinced, but he was obviously less resilient now. Ye Shaoyang took out his Eight Trigram Mirror and shone it toward the direction of the old woman and said, "I'll let you see the truth for yourself!"
