Doctor Shen Tu was choked to the point where his eyes were bulging out and he could no longer speak. The sharp knife in his hand trembled as he tried several times to cut the small hands that suddenly reached out to attack him, but he was unable to succeed. His eyes were filled with shock and fear, as if he had never witnessed anything like this in his entire life of practicing medicine…

From the child’s sliced open body, another bloody baby emerged, opened his horrible eyes, reached out and grabbed the doctor by the throat!

Since he predicted that the baby hidden in Sumo’s belly might be a monster, he had already laid out silver needles beforehand, one of which penetrated right through Sumo’s belly and accurately pinned right into the heart of that fleshy mass, immobilizing the baby, which was only a foot long. However, that one fleshy mass, although it appeared to be dead, reached out unexpectedly at the very moment he moved closer to check him out!

The tiny bloody hands broke through the body and grabbed him in a tight, deadly grip with such a bizarrely powerful force that Doctor Shen Tu became unable to speak, or even to call for help. In a flash, he only felt an ice-cold force eroding into him so fast that his body swayed and his eyes turned completely blind as a result.

This is so bizarre… this, what is this thing? What is this creature that has been consumed from the mother’s womb and remained inside this child’s body? From the beginning, it seems that he underestimated it too much!

“Doctor Shen Tu!” Zhu Yan shrieked in disbelief and jumped straight up. Seeing that Doctor Shen Tu’s eyes had turned white and the sharp knife in his hand had fallen to the ground, she didn’t dare to think twice and grabbed it with her opposite hand, the Nine Ring Golden Backed Machete leapt into her palm with a loud cry as she stepped forward with an unexpected swing at those weird little hands!

“Crack!” A dry sound echoed, the sound of a blade cutting through decaying wood, devoid of flesh and blood.

Although she acted in the heat of the moment, her control was exquisite. The huge blade severed the small hands from their wrists, but did not hurt Doctor Shen Tu in the slightest. In the same instant, Sumo on the ground released a shout of extreme pain and his body shook as the twelve silver needles that had sealed his body bounced out in unison!

The old man collapsed to the ground and grasped his throat in an instant, trying desperately to catch his breath. Zhu Yan jumped over and ripped off the small, withered hand that was still rigidly gripped on his neck, only to hear Doctor Shen Tu let out a hoarse cry of alarm, propping himself up and vigorously leaping forward, grabbing the bloodied baby by the arm!

The fleshy mass with the severed hand was only a palm-sized, just a bloody blob which actually wriggled and made a strange wailing sound, like a barred bird crying at night, which was chilling to hear. Although it had no hands left, when it was picked up by the arm it stretched out his head and bit the doctor’s hand with his mouth wide open, and wouldn’t let go.

What is this… thing?! Zhu Yan simply looked dumbfounded.

“Quick!” Doctor Shen Tu held back the pain and shouted, “Chop off its head!”

Zhu Yan held the blade, staring at the bloody baby that was biting the doctor’s hand dangling suspended in the air, but her fingers couldn’t help but tremble slightly – yet after only a moment of hesitation, the back of Doctor Shen Tu’s bitten hand had already begun to change color, and a strange staining blackness rapidly spread across towards the palm of the hand. Not daring to hesitate any longer, she gritted her teeth, lifted the blade and slashed down with a quick stroke!

The blade struck like lightning, cutting through the air in a single blow. There was a “click” as she heard the sound of the blade cutting something off, but her wrist jolted as a strange force slammed up against her blade! Turning her head, she realized that the baby was still clinging to Doctor Shen Tu’s hand, its neck intact and its legs broken at the knees.

In that moment, Zhu Yan couldn’t help but exclaim out loud! Yes, in that very moment, the creepy baby had actually kicked her knife away with his leg! How was that… even possible? Unbelievable!

“Chop… off its head! Quickly!” Doctor Shen Tu shouted as hard as he could, yet in a matter of seconds, his voice had quickly weakened, “It… it wants to parasitize me!”

Zhu Yan quickly came back to her senses upon hearing that shout, and without further hesitation, she gritted her teeth, held her blade with both hands, and swept it across the body with a swift stroke. In that moment, as if he knew he could no longer avoid it, the thing suddenly turned back to her and cast his eyes upon her.

That glance suddenly caused a strange uncomfortable feeling in her heart, as if a cold hand suddenly squeezed the back of her neck, and the blade unexpectedly slashed into the sticky mud, and she couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment – yet in the next instant, she snapped awake again, surprised by her momentary lapse of concentration: this thing carried with it an extremely strong evil aura, surprisingly more bizarre than any demon thing she had ever seen in her life!

As her slash descended, the baby, whose limbs were all severed, suddenly let go of its biting grip on Doctor Shen Tu’s hand and fell to the ground with a “splash”, causing Zhu Yan’s blow to fall short, making it difficult to withdraw the movement and almost injuring Doctor Shen Tu.

“Hurry! Quickly!” However, the old man who had broken free of the danger, remained pale, pointing behind her shouting feebly, “Stop it!”

Zhu Yan turned around only to see that the bloody mass had fallen back into Sumo’s body, and was actually digging its way in! She knew it was ominous and instantly turned back, pointing her blade down, picking up the small fleshy mass with the tip of her blade and flinging it aside with force!

The fleshy mass without limbs emitted a piercing shriek and squirmed on the ground, as if trying to make a final struggle to escape from its demise. However, Zhu Yan was not willing to let this scourge escape. With a single stride forward, she chopped the meatball into two pieces with a clear blow!

The eerie cry ended abruptly, but she dared not gasp and swung her blade quickly, as if in a frenzy while dismembering the fleshy mass in chunks. In the same instant, Sumo on the floor struggled violently, a weak cry of impending death escaping his throat as he stopped moving.

“…” Zhu Yan was just taking a sigh of relief when she caught sight of the scene over there, and she couldn’t help but freeze – Sumo was lying in the rubble, blood suddenly gushing out from his entire body: both hands and feet, his neck… It looked like the location of his injuries, the condition of his wounds, was simply exactly the same as the fleshy mass that she just chopped off a moment before!

“What is going on here?” She was so horrified that she pulled up Doctor Shen Tu by the neck and pointed at the dying Sumo on the floor, “Why is his body suddenly bleeding?”

Doctor Shen Tu was in the process of slitting his right wrist with a sharp knife to drain the blood that had turned black. Hearing her scolding, he glanced at Sumo who had turned into a bloody mess on the ground, yet his expression remained calm: “It’s alright, this is caused by the “twin mirror image”. I have already protected this child’s heart veins beforehand, so it won’t be fatal.”

Zhu Yan froze, “What do you mean by twin mirror image?”

“That means, there is a peculiar bond of induction between him and his twin brother,” gasped Doctor Shen Tu, pointing to the mass of bloody flesh on the floor, “and every cut you land on this thing, accordingly will also fall on that other child.”

She shuddered and glanced at Sumo, not daring to imagine the pain the child had just endured. The war outside was still raging, shouting and killing like a tidal wave, yet in that moment, she was surprisingly unable to think about what was happening to Yuan, she just walked over and picked up the dying child from the ground, resting his tiny head on her arms, whispering repeatedly, “Don’t be afraid… everything is fine, it’s everything over!”

The unconscious Sumo sensed her touch, but only winced in fear and cried out in a muffled voice, “Don’t kill me… sister… don’t kill me!”

She couldn’t help but have her eyes tearing up: in the excruciating pain of imminent death, this child actually thought she was the one who was trying to kill him? In this child’s last blurred vision, it must have been her strained, distorted face that he last saw.

“Are you done?” Zhu Yan glanced at Doctor Shen Tu and couldn’t help but urge, “Give him some medicine quickly! Let me feed him if you are not ready, tell me where the medicine is?”

Doctor Shen Tu glanced at her and remarked, “It’s on you.”

“What?” She couldn’t help but stare for a moment, “On me?”

Doctor Shen Tu pulled the sharp knife out of his wrist, squeezed the tainted blood out and hastily bandaged it with a strip of rag, asking without looking at her, “Did Lord Zhi Yuan ever give you a ring-shaped ancient jade?”

“Huh?” Zhu Yan was stunned and blurted out, “How do you know that?”

“Of course I know. It was Lord Zhi himself who told me before he set off,” said Doctor Shen Tu with a strange roll of his eyes and no good grace, “How could I dare to undertake this errand without that item?”

She was stupefied, “He… he told you to come to me?”

“Yes,” replied Doctor Shen Tu, bandaging his own hand and walking over, stretching it out, “Give it to me.”

Zhu Yan subconsciously retreated and pressed the ancient jade around her neck, shaking her head, “Why do you want to take this jade ring for? It was gifted to me by Yuan!”

“Do you want him to live or not?” Doctor Shen Tu became impatient and shouted, “Don’t be so long-winded! Give it to me now! If you dawdle any longer, the boy’s life will be lost!”

She shuddered at the doctor’s overpowering aura, gritted her teeth and ripped off the ancient jade around her neck as she handed it to Doctor Shen Tu, “Take it!” After a pause, she glanced at Sumo on the ground and glared at him, “Save him now! If you can’t save him, I’ll kill you and bury you with him!”

Doctor Shen Tu grinned coldly and without saying another word, he took the dragon blood ancient jade and actually crushed it into pieces with a single thrust of his hand!

“Huh?!” Without waiting for Zhu Yan to cry out in shock, he was surprised to see that after the ancient jade shattered, the wisp of red inside actually streamed through – like blood that had been sealed, in contact with the air it started coagulating fast and dripped down! Doctor Shen Tu leaned forward and flicked his wrist, allowing the stream of blood to drip directly into the child’s torn open belly. In that moment, flesh and blood melt together and a beam of light soared into the sky!

The ray of light was so peculiar that it blossomed as in a whirlwind, spreading out in mid-air and actually transforming into a swarming, gigantic dragon shape across the night sky!

“Oh heavens!” Zhu Yan couldn’t help but exclaim out of breath and tilted up her head, “This… is the Dragon Lord from the Abyss of Cangwu! I saw it once when I was thirteen years old!”

As if hearing her words, the Dragon in the void lowered its head slightly and nodded at her in what seemed to be a distant greeting.

“Flaming little girl… we meet again.” Faintly, a voice echoed through her heart, majestic and profound, as if coming from the depths of the Abyss of Cangwu, “Five years have passed… until today, the day of the reunion of the stars…”

The Dragon Lord leaned down from mid-air and gazed at her with enormous eyes like a sun wheel. Zhu Yan subconsciously stretched out her hand, but it passed right through the Dragon God’s body.

“Is that only an illusion?” At that moment, Zhu Yan suddenly realized – yes, the real Dragon God had been sealed in the deepest part of the Cangwu Abyss by Xingzun Emperor seven thousand years ago; that seal was so powerful that no one could break it in all lifetimes, so how could the Dragon God get out of it?

“The Dragon God… The Dragon God!” Shouts of surprise came from the distant battle, “Look! The Dragon Lord has appeared! He has come to bless the Kingdom of the Sea! We are saved!”

It was the chants of the besieged warriors of the Restoration Army, weak but uplifting, as if people in a desperate situation had suddenly seen the light and regained their fighting spirit – could there be the voice of Yuan in there? Zhu Yan could not help but hear the blood boiling in her heart, and she wanted to fly there immediately, yet when she looked at Sumo lying on the ground, she couldn’t even think of leaving right away.

“The Dragon God… is it indeed the Dragon God!” Doctor Shen Tu looked up at the light that was shifting in the void, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes as well: “After sensing the call of his bloodline, he will blossom with power!”

She couldn’t help but be stunned, “The calling of… what?”

Without saying another word, Doctor Shen Tu merely picked Sumo up from the ground and raised him high towards the Dragon Lord’s apparition like as offering him in sacrifice – in that instant, as if sensing something, the ray of light that hovered above the battlefield suddenly roared to life! Like lightning, it swept down from the heights and burrowed directly into the child’s exposed back!

The unconscious Sumo trembled violently and a muffled cry escaped his lips, it was as if the child’s entire body had been infused with lightning and surprisingly became translucent inside and out like a piece of crystal! The light darted through his body as if it were a shutting star, repairing the torn body, and in an instant all the fatal wounds were all restored, and not a trace of blood flowed out any longer!

Zhu Yan couldn’t utter a word as she just stared in amazement.

Finally, when even the last wound disappeared – the light stopped on Sumo’s back, coalescing for an instant, then fading again. When all was done, all that was left on the ground was an unconscious child with a black patch of undamaged pale skin on his back.

It was there that the light became extinguished.
