Chapter 151: Head of the demons

[Taoist's skill of spiritual awareness, haha...]

Huo Zaiyuan can't quite distinguish if the voice belongs to a male or female, but the contempt and disdain coating the low tone is undeniable.

"Who are you? Or should I say...what are you?" Huo Zaiyuan's heart skips a beat due to being unpleasantly startled. His awareness broadens a little and morphs from a sphere of light into a translucent human shape, caution in every line of his face.

[Tsk, tsk. Don't even know who this leader is. The utter stupidity of mankind ah. Hahaha...]

Savage laughter fills the air and the darkness recedes slowly until Huo Zaiyuan can see a wall of flesh dripping with blood. Numerous blue veins and red arteries run vertically across the wall, packing close together and in some cases, intertwining occasionally. From time to time, the thin, puckered lines wriggle as though something is being transported through the tube, creating a grotesque sight.

Suddenly, purplish-red mist saturated in demonic energy seeps out from the flesh wall, steadily coalescing together. Purplish-green cracked skin covered in bulging veins forms, followed by opaque milky white eyes and a mouthful of razor-sharp, shark-like teeth. The enormous, floating zombie head is extremely bone-chilling.

Having faced down and slain numerous zombies during the apocalypse, Huo Zaiyuan doesn't exactly feel frightened by the sight of this giant undead head.

Besides being very large, another aspect of this bodiless head draws Huo Zaiyuan's attention. That is, the chains of glowing runes encircling around it, indicating that this creature has already been sealed by a Taoist.

"You are the main reason humans are turning into zombies!"

[Wahahaha...correct. Very quick, very quick indeed. Once this leader is strong enough to break this damn seal, you humans will finally get a taste of the real apocalypse!!] Saying thus, the malicious expression twists as the giant mouth opens wide, pouncing towards Huo Zaiyuan.

Although the enemy has been bound by a rather strong seal, Huo Zaiyuan hasn't let down his guard for even a split-second throughout this exchange. As soon as the head moves, his spiritual projection dodges out of reach. In the time it takes to form a thought, silver light lashes out at the demonic being's forehead.

With a swipe of its head, purplish-red mist gathers before it, creating a shield to block the silver light's piercing strike. Bouncing off the shield, the silver streak shoots high into the air before spiralling downwards. Like a silver dragon, the rays of light encircle Huo Zaiyuan, protecting him from further attacks. Besides the silver jian Liu Ying, what else could this silver streak of light be?

Staring at the silver jian wrapping around Huo Zaiyuan, the demonic head's expression becomes livid.

[It's you...I didn't think it would be you! I will kill you...!] The voice roars, mad with fury and steeped in deep loathing. The evil energy within the volcano becomes denser, and the head surges forth again with more aggression than before.

"Urgh..." A low moan escapes the lips of the person currently sitting cross-legged on the passenger seat. Slender eyebrows draw together abruptly, and he coughs out a mouthful of scarlet blood. His figure sways, then tips forward.

Long Zhanye is already moving as soon as he sees blood spurting out, gently pulling the slim body towards him, concern and fretfulness clear on his face.

"Little Yuan, what happened to you? Why are you coughing out blood?!" Handkerchief in hand, Long Zhanye wipes away the blood dribbling from the corner of Huo Zaiyuan's mouth and on his lips. The faintest tremor can be heard in his voice as he questions anxiously.
