Failed Ambush (Requests for Subscriptions, Monthly Tickets, and Recommendations)

"Bang~"

A crossbow bolt pierced Wu Xin’s body, blowing a huge hole through his chest. Blood gushed wildly from Wu Xin’s wound, and a fountain of blood splashed directly onto the charging coachman.

"Ah~"

The Reincarnator coachman was drenched in blood across the face, as if he had been splashed with concentrated acid. His whole body began emitting pungent white smoke and disgusting sizzling sounds.

"What’s going on!"

The two Reincarnators pretending to play chess were instantly stunned by the scene before them. Though they held sharp knives, they didn’t dare move forward.

"Save, save, save me~~~"

The unlucky Reincarnator wailed for quite a while, frantically tearing at the places splashed by the blood. Large patches of necrotic flesh were ripped directly off, and blood flowed all over the ground. Half of his face was gone, leaving only ghastly white bones. It was an absolutely horrifying sight.

This terrifying scene made the other two lose their nerve, and even the three people hiding in the shadows felt a chill in their hearts.

"You—you’re working together!"

Wu Xin covered the wound on his chest. His body had been pierced through, and blood kept flowing. Such a severe injury was no small matter to him.

He truly was undying and indestructible, neither born nor destroyed, but he could still feel pain and hunger. After suffering a wound that pierced through his body, every breath brought waves of excruciating pain. Fortunately, his injuries recovered quickly, and after a few moments the pain had eased considerably. Otherwise, he would have already passed out from it.

One Reincarnator said to another, "He can’t move anymore! This is the perfect opportunity. We agreed before—you wear him down, and I’ll deliver the final blow. Hurry up and attack."

"Why don’t you do it!"

The other instantly flew into a rage. "You’re sending me to my death! Didn’t you see what happened to Jia Laoyun?"

"You’re planning to break our agreement? Don’t forget, the Lord God witnessed it. If you go back on your word, you’re finished."

The one who had spoken first threatened him, saying, "Look at him now. What ability does he have left to resist? Go up and stab him once, and he might be finished. Besides, Jia Laoyun was ruined by his blood. The bolt itself is fine. As long as you’re careful not to get splashed by his blood, won’t everything be fine?"

He pointed at the crossbow bolt embedded in the wall, the one that had pierced through Wu Xin’s body. It gleamed beneath the sunlight and appeared no different from an ordinary bolt.

"Gulp!"

The second man swallowed, raised the knife in his hand, and slowly walked over.

"Ah~"

Wu Xin was stabbed through. Blood had nearly pooled into a puddle on the ground. Having learned from the previous man, who could breathe in but barely breathe out, this person carefully avoided the splashing droplets before stabbing Wu Xin through again.

One stab after another, one stab after another. The blade went in white and came out red. The man left more than ten bloody holes in Wu Xin’s body in succession. By the end, Wu Xin was lying on his back, only twitching twice whenever he was stabbed. He clearly had barely any breath left.

"Stop!"

The man who had given the orders at the beginning spoke up. He walked in front of Wu Xin and proudly raised his knife. "This time, I should be the one to complete the Main Quest. So what if there are so many Reincarnators? Didn’t I still come out on top?

"Lie still and don’t move. Let me gut you. Only a living heart has any value!"

He prepared to stab down. Just as the knife was raised, Wu Xin’s expression changed where he lay on the ground. His hands and feet tensed, and he suddenly leaped forward.

The two men had not expected Wu Xin to still be capable of resisting. He knocked them directly to the ground, and countless streams of blood smeared across their bodies. Fortunately, most of it was blocked by their clothes and had no effect. Only the exposed skin that came into contact with it suffered a burning pain.

"Ah! My eye!"

The man who had been chattering the most just moments before, always fond of giving Wu Xin opportunities to turn the tables, was the unluckiest. Several droplets of blood splashed into his right eye, and he covered it while crying out in agony.

"How is it!"

The other Reincarnator had not been badly injured. A few droplets of blood had landed on the back of his hand, but after he wiped them off with a cloth, it had only reddened without breaking the skin. Hearing the cries, he climbed to his feet and helped the other man up.

"My eye! I can’t see out of my eye! Hurry, let’s go! Take me to a doctor! Forget this monster!"

The man was completely terrified and urged the other to leave.

"Don’t go! Let’s get a little closer!"

Wu Xin climbed to his feet and supported himself against the wall as he shouted at the two men. He even lifted a leg as if he were about to approach them.

"What are you waiting for! You didn’t get burned? Go, hurry up! This monster isn’t that easy to kill!"

The man covering his eye hurriedly spoke again. The other man nodded and hastily helped him leave, completely ignoring the man with half his face gone, whose injuries were even more severe.

"Bang~"

Not long after they left, Wu Xin collapsed onto the ground. He had also been at the end of his strength just now, merely forcing himself to hold on long enough to scare them away.

"Wheeze~ wheeze~ wheeze~ wheeze~"

Wu Xin’s face was deathly pale as he gasped for breath. After resting for a while, he felt that he had recovered a little strength. He found a wooden stick and struggled to stand. Without even looking at the man whose face was half gone and who was too weak to move, he leaned on the makeshift crutch and prepared to leave.

"Clang~"

A large round gear spun through Wu Xin’s body and struck the wall. It bounced back once, then crashed heavily onto the ground.

"Scrape~ scrape~ scrape~"

Slow and steady footsteps approached the motionless Wu Xin, who had been cut in half at the waist.

"You two idiots. Even when a person dies unexpectedly, their heart will keep beating for a while. Wouldn’t it have been better to finish him cleanly?"

The newcomer wearing glasses smiled faintly as he gazed in the direction the two Reincarnators had left. He then grabbed Wu Xin’s rigid right arm and flipped him over. At this moment, Wu Xin’s body below the waist had been completely severed and lay face-down on the spot, while the upper half was turned over. Wu Xin’s vacant, unseeing eyes stared at Wu You.

"Dead with grievances, huh? But that’s how this world is. Who told you to be my target?"

Wu You smiled at Wu Xin and took out a pair of rubber gloves he had prepared at some unknown point. "I have to admit, you’re truly strange. Your blood can actually injure us. I suppose that’s why your heart became the target. I never heard a heartbeat, but I guess that’s because it’s special!"

As Wu You spoke, he took out a knife and drew it downward from Wu Xin’s navel. Wu Xin was brutally gutted. Wearing gloves, Wu You pried open Wu Xin’s breastbone and reached inside to search for the Heart of Wu Xin, but he was shocked by what he found.

"What kind of monster is this? It’s an empty shell! Where’s the heart? How can there be no heart? There aren’t even any internal organs. Is he even human?"

Wu You lost his composure. While shouting, he repeatedly rummaged through Wu Xin’s abdominal cavity, trying to find something unusual.

At the moment Wu You lost his composure and let down his guard, a spark of light suddenly returned to Wu Xin’s vacant eyes. His stiff hands abruptly clasped together, seizing Wu You’s head and forcing it into his own chest cavity.

"Sizzle sizzle~~"

Wu You felt a burning pain in his left cheek. His left cheek had come directly into contact with Wu Xin’s flesh and blood. Despite the pain, he did not loosen the hands he had locked in a struggle with Wu Xin. Instead, he turned his head aside and pressed downward.
