Chapter 104: Burning the Corpse

A sweep of the wind and the ghastly pale figure blocking the road heavily tumbled backward.
Crown Prince Mo smoothed the crease on his sleeve with displeasure, derision surfacing on his face. “The assassin this time is costumed like a ghost, I wonder which idiot’s work it is.”
Did they think they were a ghost just because they dressed up like one? Did their lord look like someone who was scared of ghosts? How ridiculous!
Yu Xiu’s lips silently twitched, and he lifted his hand with a cold expression, ordering the others, “Continue.”
“Hold on.” Crown Prince Mo’s indifferent voice rung again.
Everyone uniformly tightened their hold on the reins, waiting for his order in a well-trained fashion.
Currently in front of them, the muddy woman who fell on the ground was slowly getting up with difficulty.
Her movements were extraordinarily slow, and every now and then, they could hear the crisp, cracking noise of breaking bones.
Heh, a little interesting. Mo Lian unconcernedly raised his eyebrows, and his eyes shifted slightly as he stared at the woman with a smile.
The woman’s left hand distorted abnormally. After she finally managed to strenuously climb up from the ground, she appeared to establish Crown Prince Mo as her target and jerkily stumbled forward with bared teeth.
Though before she could pounce again, she was flicked back like a fly by Crown Prince Mo once again.
However, the woman quickly stood back up.
Because her right leg was crippled though, her movements were exceptionally slow and every centimeter was covered in dirt. Her clothes’ original white color could no longer be distinguished.
Mo Lian was well aware that his successive flicks might look light as a feather, but in truth, even if he merely used a fraction of his power, it was not something that normal people could withstand.
Hence, the woman in front of them truly was not human!
Seeing the woman climb up from the ground again, Yu Xiu felt shivers running down his back and could not help shouting loudly, “Guard! Guard!”
“What’s there to panic about?” Mo Lian dryly glanced at Yu Xiu before pointing his wrist toward the woman.
A solid ball of flame flew toward the woman like a shooting star. It immediately pierced into her forehead and naturally ignited inside her body very quickly.
Although this was not their first time witnessing events like this, Yu Xiu and the others still felt their hearts pounding in their chests in fear at the scene before them.
The crown prince’s methods were truly savage and truly as different as day and night from his deity-like appearance and gentle and delicate face!
“She died for real, huh.” Indifferent words floated out of his lips, a trace of disappointment apparent within. Words could not describe Yu Xiu’s current feelings.
My lord! You shot your fireball so smoothly and directly incinerated her into ash from head to toe without even a hair left behind! What else could she be besides dead!
If Qiao Mu was present, she would certainly call him heartless and barbaric inwardly. So many people died at the hands of zombies, unable to fight back in the slightest, but this lord finished off a zombie with a raise of his hand in an instant.
As Mo Lian looked at the woman who disintegrated into ashes, he unconsciously tapped his reins on his chin and muttered to himself, “Little One, could this be the monster that you advised me to stay far away from at all costs…”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Hn, return to the capital.” Mo Lian narrowed his eyes. His mother and younger brother came to mind, and he wondered whether they were in danger.
A whip of their reins and the troop swiftly melted into the night.
The muddy dirt road near the official road was strewed with 10-20 corpses lying everywhere, an ill wind tragically breezing over them.
All of a sudden, the corpses simultaneously opened their bulged-out eyes and produced scream after scream of ghost-like wails toward the bleak horizon…
