Chapter 64: Gluttony
Chapter 64: Gluttony
He did not look at the demon that lay on the ground, its corpse mutilated.
Su Heng instead stood up, his left hand gripping the huge sword "Ghost Sorrow," his eyes slightly squinted, warily surveying the surrounding environment.
Half of the ancestral hall had collapsed.
But there was no bright moonlight spilling from outside, nor could he see the various buildings within the earth fortress.
What he saw was only a fog-like darkness surging back and forth.
From within the darkness came strange gurgling noises and an intense, unbearable stench of rot.
It was like…
Flesh writhing, stomach acid secreting, digesting something.
Su Heng's eyebrows fiercely twitched.
He crouched down and stretched out his hand to touch the remains of the demon in the pool of blood before him.Swish!
The moment he touched it.
The headless demon suddenly burst forth, its remains tearing apart, transforming into a gaping mouth full of fangs, barely held together by intestine-like flesh, lunging forward violently.
Even with Su Heng's stature far surpassing that of an ordinary person, this bite could still have gnawed away half of him.
A strong sense of crisis exploded in his mind instantly.
Luckily, Su Heng was prepared.
The ready-to-strike Ghost Sorrow swept horizontally, the Arc Blade returning to the heavens, its blood-red halo solid and unbroken, with a layer of black and red flames burning atop it, formed by sheer force.
With a "puchi," flesh turned to mush, and the gaping mouth was cleaved into two halves.
A large quantity of acidic fluid splashed out, corroding the floor, emitting smoke with a hissing sound, leaving behind large irregular holes.
Su Heng swiftly dodged to the side.
He suddenly looked up and saw the sheep-body, human-faced demon once again perched on the ceiling beam above his head.
The monster's hideous human face wore a mocking smile, as if it were teasing its prey.
Not only had the monster recovered…
Even the ancestral hall that Su Heng had previously blasted to ruins seemed to have been restored to its entirety at some unknown point.
Just that the corpses of the elders had completely vanished.
Leaving the ancestral hall feeling somewhat empty.
"Kid!" the demon stuck out its tongue, licking its own claws with a cold sneer, "This is the endless hell I control, now that you've come in, don't even think about leaving."
As the demon's words fell, thunderous booms resounded around them.
All he saw in his field of vision was a crimson expanse.
Everything he saw was distorting, the floor cracked, spewing hot lava and thick crimson smoke.
Su Heng felt as if he had been thrown into a gigantic furnace, his frame warping under the scorching fire and dense smoke. In an instant, his clothes were completely melted and evaporated, and even his mighty muscles, tough as forged copper and iron, turned red-hot, like molten brass.
In such a cruel and vicious purgatory, yet Su Heng chuckled.
The demon, staring at Su Heng's extremely robust physique, felt a sudden jolt in its heart, its voice somewhat unnatural.
"You little devil, what are you laughing at?"
It had a bad feeling. Ordinary people thrown into such a hell would dissolve into a puddle of pus within a brief moment.
Even the senior elders of the Luo Family at the demon fetus realm were no exception.
But the person before it, with an incomprehensibly tough physique, seemed even more durable than a hundred-times-forged vajra.
Despite its exertion of Divine Skills, Su Heng stood there as if nothing was happening, his fierce, ferocious smile making the demon's heart pound even more.
"Endless hell, you beast sure put on a good show," Su Heng spoke, and from within his body came cracking sounds as he slowly swelled.
"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying!" the demon continued to activate its Divine Skills.
But no matter how hard it tried, Su Heng's imposing and dark form remained distinctly erect amid the dense smoke, towering and immovable, imparting an indomitable sense of hopelessness.
"This place, it must be your stomach," Su Heng's body swelled to two meters seventy before finally coming to a halt.
With such a stature.
Even a giant blade like Ghost Sorrow felt light in his grip.
Su Heng simply thrust the Ghost Seer into the floor, shook his head, clenched his fist, and wrapped it in a layer of black and crimson vigor.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it."
His mouth slowly curled into a grin, pulling at the flesh to reveal a mouth full of white teeth, "You must be quite a glutton, I really want to see just how many punches of mine you can fucking take!"
"You—" A sense of crisis exploded in his heart, and the gluttonous monster was terribly frightened.
Boom!
The demon had no time to argue, to refuse.
Su Heng had already ferociously thrown a punch forward, and the terrifying power burst forth.
The temple walls offered no resistance as they were breached, and the darkness outside churned like overturning seas. The fog dispersed, and the terrifying power compressed the air to form white torrents that spread out in ripples, carrying a sharp, piercing screech.
The blood-colored flesh walls appeared clearly in Su Heng's view, suddenly concaving downwards, bursting into a spray of blood and raising waves.
"Pff!"
The calm and composed smile on the gluttonous monster's face disappeared, replaced by pain.
Its eyes bulged, bloodshot.
Blood spurted ceaselessly from its gaping mouth.
"I'm wrong, so wrong!" the gluttonous creature shouted, "Damn it, stop, I'm telling you to stop, for fuck's sake stop!"
"Just one punch and you're full, not enough, not enough, how can this little be enough! You fucking bastard, to perform tricks and deceive in front of me, who gave you the guts! Take it, if you don't take a thousand punches today, don't think you'll die easy!"
"Hahaha!" Su Heng laughed wildly, his hair standing on end.
His black and crimson iron fists, wrapped in layers of bone strength, swung up and down, sending forth swathes of phantoms, each punch more ferocious and brave than the last.
Under the healing effects of the Green Wood Longevity Technique, the vigor inside Su Heng's body seemed endless, the savage power poured out unreservedly like a torrential landslide.
The gluttonous monster could still scream at first, but soon it could only let out painful, dry howls.
Many fist imprints, visible to the naked eye, emerged on its body.
Bones were shattered, kidneys were struck hard, and half of its lungs and guts burst into foul-smelling blood.
Half of its body exploded like firecrackers, flesh and internal organs mixing in chunks that splattered over ten meters high.
The gluttonous creature's stomach churned violently, trying to vomit Su Heng out.
Sadly, it's easy to invite a deity, but difficult to send one away.
Su Heng's legs were like old tree roots, firmly rooted in the stomach, no matter how frantically the creature struggled, it couldn't move him in the slightest.
"The final strike!"
Su Heng's eyes were torn, his body covered in terrifying black sinews.
He brought his fists together, raised them high, and smashed down straight into the horror-stricken eyes of the gluttonous monster.
Boom!
A colossal thunder that could shake the world.
The devastated temple collapsed completely, the gluttonous creature's stomach was torn and ragged, bulging grotesquely before it inflated like a balloon to its limit and exploded with a bang.
The clear moonlight scattered down, and the cold wind from the mountain carried away the scalding sensation on Su Heng's skin.
"Whew..." Su Heng exhaled a breath of turbid air, his heart filled with an exhilarating sense of violent release.
Regrettably, as he looked around, he saw only the ruins of the Luo Family temple, but no trace of the demon's remains.
"It must have sensed the bad turn of events and simply dug out its stomach to throw it away, seeking to escape by sacrificing a part of itself," Su Heng thought to himself in disappointment.
But such a monster had a powerful life force and mysterious Divine Skills, not to mention the experiences and wisdom accumulated over who knows how many years.
Killing it outright wouldn't be easy. After all, Su Heng's talents were mostly focused on strength and physique. As for tracking and trapping, his abilities were somewhat limited.
However, it didn't matter.
His purpose for coming here was to exterminate the entire Luo Family; the demon was just an accident.
Moreover…
Su Heng raised his foot and tapped lightly on the floorboards.
From the echoes within, it seemed there was a vast space beneath the Luo Family temple.
"Is this the ill-gotten gains amassed by the Luo Family from their years of misdeeds? Then I certainly can't turn a blind eye!" With an air of solemn righteousness, Su Heng punched out an opening and then immediately jumped down.
