Again, after following Xie Kun for two hours, Su Mo found that Xie Kun was walking towards his own home.
So, Su Mo no longer followed him, but took a shortcut towards Xie Kun's home instead, wanting to wait in ambush ahead of time, then suddenly attack and defeat Xie Kun when he least expected it.
Xie Kun walked slowly and leisurely towards his own home, same as usual.
Since his home was halfway up a mountain, approached from behind the mountain, there was almost no one on the path, only the occasional passing car, but those were also rushing by, clearly in a hurry to get back and eat New Year's Eve dinner!
After parking the four-wheeled vehicle on a small open space not far from the roadside, he looked left and right to make sure no one was around, then cautiously pulled Wang Jian out and gave him another electric shock, being very prudent.
Then, Xie Kun carried Wang Jian on his back towards the mountain, his steps slow but very steady.
If anyone else saw this, they would definitely be shocked to the heavens - this was a cripple, yet actually still able to carry someone and walk mountain paths, truly awesome.
After another twenty-odd minutes, Xie Kun and Wang Jian's figures appeared within Su Mo's field of vision.
Now past seven o'clock at night, unable to clearly see faces, he could only confirm that the cripple carrying someone on his back was Xie Kun.
"Sure enough it's you, now I can feel at ease making my move," Su Mo thought to himself.
At this time, Xie Kun put Wang Jian down, and started taking out his keys to unlock the door. He didn't want to waste time out here.
At the same moment, Su Mo also made his move. His body slowly blended into the night, then he stepped closer and closer to Xie Kun's back.
Step by step, these were truly devilish footsteps, because Su Mo was a devil.
When Su Mo was three meters away from Xie Kun's back, he had already decided to rush forward. And then, right at this moment -
Xie Kun, who had just unlocked the door and hadn't even managed to open the yard gate yet, suddenly twisted his body sharply backwards.
Four eyes met, without any words or preamble, both sides attacked the other at the same time.
Xie Kun took out the electric shock device at his waist, and pressed it towards Su Mo's body.
Su Mo was badly shocked, this guy's movements were so fast. He didn't have a chance to take out his own electric shock device, and quickly dodged to the side to avoid this strike.
Then, taking advantage of the momentum, he lashed out with a kick, aimed straight at Xie Kun's face.
Although Xie Kun's movements were very quick, having one crippled leg was still a fatal weakness. He didn't have time to dodge, and could only use his left arm to block.
The powerful force impacted Xie Kun's body, directly forcing him to retreat again and again, until finally sitting on the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, Su Mo taunted, "What a pity, you're a cripple. Otherwise, subduing you probably really wouldn't have been easy. Now, heh heh..."
Next, Su Mo hopped left and right, circling around Xie Kun, striking out with a kick anytime he was the slightest bit inattentive. He never engaged Xie Kun up close, only using his feet to attack and not even needing to use his hands.
Xie Kun felt very stifled. No matter how rich his combat experience, his opponent wasn't giving him any chances to retaliate, only heartlessly harassing him. His crippled leg was a fatal weakness - his movements could be fast, but his movement speed was very slow.
In this way, after toying with him for a few minutes, Su Mo seized an opportunity and slammed out a heavy punch, knocking Xie Kun over.
To be safe, before tying up Xie Kun, Su Mo considerately applied another session of electric shock therapy.
After dragging Xie Kun into the room and tying him securely, sealing his mouth shut, only then did Su Mo go to the yard gate, preparing to also haul the fatty inside.
However, when he squatted down and clearly saw the fatty's appearance, his expression became strange again.
"Oh, this fatty Wang Jian, could he be the destined lead character from the novel? No matter what major things happen, he would always appear and play an important role.
Hmm, possibly. But speaking of which, does anyone actually like the looks of a protagonist like this?"
After mocking him a few sentences, Su Mo still dragged the fatty Wang Jian into the room. After all, leaving him outside would be too unsafe.
After thinking for a bit, he still tightly bound up Wang Jian five ways, and sealed his mouth shut with three layers of tape. He knew very well that this fatty loved to chatter.
After looking at the time and estimating it would still take over an hour or two for these two to regain consciousness, Su Mo took Wang Jian's phone and headed out.
He first went to the kitchen. There would definitely be lots of interesting things inside, Su Mo intended to take plenty of photos.
The kitchen looked quite tidy, but there was a dense miasma of rotting corpse stench, the kind that had seeped deep into the walls. Just one sniff would involuntarily make one's hair stand on end and give them the chills.
He rummaged through pots, the stovetop, the trash can, but things looked relatively normal. There was nothing especially terrifying.
But when he opened the cabinets, the scene inside made him astonished. Stunned for a second, Su Mo excitedly took out his phone and snapped several continuous shots at the cabinet.
Looking at the effect, he nodded in satisfaction and mumbled to himself, "Later on, should I add some special effects? Hmm... forget it, the original picture is still the classic, after all."
The cabinet had three shelves. The top shelf held a few hearts that looked like they had been preserved. Xie Kun probably wanted to eat them as cured meat.
The second shelf held assorted severed limbs, mostly cut into several sections. Some parts had already started rotting. Su Mo guessed that if these limbs still weren't eaten, they would soon spoil.
The bottom, third shelf was also the lowest shelf, completely packed full of meat. After observing for a while, Su Mo discovered an especially interesting piece of meat. He muttered to himself in a low voice, "The deceased was probably D, most likely..."
After looking through the kitchen, he also checked out the other rooms in the house. Strangely, other than a few skulls placed at Xie Kun's bedside in the bedroom, there was nothing else anywhere.
"Doesn't make sense. There's no way he ate all those bones. A lot would definitely have been left over. Where would he keep them?"
Su Mo stood stroking his chin in thought at the back door of the small yard.
Soon, when he saw the vegetable garden in the backyard, his eyes instantly lit up. "That's right! The vegetables here are growing unbelievably well. The nutrient content must be extremely rich. I wonder what kind of nutrients those could be...?
Heh heh, of course it's......"
Then, he went to grab a hoe and started digging in the vegetable garden.
After over ten minutes, his hoe hit something very hard. Su Mo immediately began frantically digging in that spot.
After another dozen or so minutes, a skeleton with only the torso remaining appeared. Su Mo grinned.
Next, he spent a full hour excavating the vegetable garden. The final result was absolutely shocking to the eye.
Su Mo roughly counted - based on just the number of skeletons here, there were as many as 12 in total, not to mention whether there might be even more skeletons hidden who knew where else.
Su Mo's eyes shone even brighter, an aura of bloodthirstiness emitted from his body. "Xie Kun, ever since I crossed over here you're the one who has excited me the most.
Later on, I hope you can hold out a little longer. Don't die too quickly now..."
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
