Chapter Thirty-One: Vengeance Across Generations! Retribution in This Life!

“Then come and try me!” Chen Yi’s voice was as cold as ice, his body coiled and ready to strike.

“I’ll make you regret this!” The Madman roared, lunging forward like a bolt of lightning.

Chen Yi did not flinch. In an instant, he flipped up, twin-bladed knife flashing like a storm, thrusting straight for the Madman’s chest.

Hot on his heels, Hu Sanhan charged in from the flank, swinging his golden broadsword in a wide arc.

“Ha!”

Feeling the fierce wind at his feet, Hu Sanhan’s heart tightened. He struck the ground hard, barely steadying himself.

“Chen Yi!” he shouted in warning.

But Chen Yi was already prepared. The moment the Madman dodged, he switched tactics, reversing his grip and stabbing cleanly at the Madman’s waist.

“Useless!” the Madman shrieked, lashing out with razor-sharp claws to block Chen Yi’s attack head-on. Their strength collided in midair, producing a piercing screech.

By now, Hu Sanhan had regained his footing. He swung his golden broadsword again, aiming for the Madman’s back. “You won’t escape this time!” he bellowed.

The Madman gritted his teeth, twisting his body once more, pushing his abilities to their limits to evade the blade at an impossible angle. Yet this time, his movements were noticeably less agile than before.

Chen Yi caught the change instantly, a cold smile playing on his lips. “Brother Hu, he’s slowing down!”

“Good!” Hu Sanhan shouted, charging forward again.

“It’s over, Madman.”

Chen Yi’s gaze was pure ice, the power of the ant gene surging within him as if it would destroy everything in its path.

“What?!” The Madman felt the danger, trying to strike back, but found his body sluggish for a split second.

“No!” he howled in fury, but Chen Yi had already moved. The twin-bladed knife flashed a silver arc through the air, slicing down on the Madman’s shoulder.

“Aaah—!” The Madman screamed in agony as the blade sheared off his shoulder, blood spraying everywhere.

Before he could react, Hu Sanhan’s broadsword crashed down on his lower leg.

Bang!

The Madman was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, blood staining the earth beneath him.

At that moment, the giant zombie took a step forward, its massive foot descending straight toward the Madman’s chest.

“Damn!” The Madman twisted desperately, but the zombie’s foot still crushed his leg.

Crack! The brittle sound of bone shattering rang out—the Madman’s leg bone was pulverized under the weight.

He struggled in agony, but the gene inside his body was out of control, its wild surges drowning his consciousness.

“It’s over.”

Chen Yi spat out the words coldly, stepping forward and planting his foot on the Madman’s chest.

“Why…”

The Madman’s mind flickered back into clarity, but his body could no longer fight. He lay helpless on the ground, eyes filled with utter despair.

“Why wouldn’t you join me? Together, we could have ruled this apocalypse.”

Chen Yi smiled faintly, but his tone was frigid as winter. “Because you’re not worth it.”

Bang—

“This first punch is for my good brother, Chen Kai!” Chen Yi roared, smashing his fist hard into the Madman’s face.

The sound of bone meeting fist echoed through the empty ruins like thunder.

The Madman’s head struck the ground with brutal force, his eyes instantly glazing over, a deep fist mark blooming across his face.

Through his daze, he managed a weak, confused question: “Lu… Lukai… who the hell is that to you…”

Bang—

“The second punch is for all the innocent people you tormented!”

Chen Yi’s second punch landed savagely on the other side of the Madman’s face. Blood sprayed, several teeth flew loose.

The Madman’s face was now a crimson blur, soaked in blood as though it had merged with the bloodstained earth. He could no longer make a sound, only moan weakly.

Chen Yi was unmoved, calmly raising his fist. “The third punch—this one is for myself!”

He brought his fist down with all his pent-up fury.

The Madman’s face was driven into the ground, a bloody lump in the dirt. His body convulsed a few times, then finally went limp, all strength gone.

“Innocent blood has been repaid in full today.”

“The vengeance of the past life has at last been answered in this one!”

Chen Yi looked down at the Madman under his foot, uttering the words like a final sentence on a wicked soul.

Just then, the earth began to shake violently, a series of deep roars rolling in.

Chen Yi looked up sharply and saw a giant zombie lumbering toward them, its massive form like a mountain—nothing could stand in its way.

Its last target, the Madman, now dead, the giant zombie’s sights were set on him!

“Brother Hu, get ready for battle!” Chen Yi called quickly to Hu Sanhan at his side.

“Understood. This is one troublesome beast,” Hu Sanhan replied, frowning as he gripped his golden broadsword tightly.

Around them, the survivors raised their guns, bullets sparking off the giant zombie’s hide but doing little real damage.

“The weak point is the eyes!” Chen Yi’s voice was calm as ever, instantly devising a plan. “Brother Hu, you and the others cover me. I’ll find a chance to strike at its eyes!”

Hu Sanhan nodded and immediately began coordinating his team’s suppressing fire.

Chen Yi darted nimbly between the ruined buildings and abandoned cars, seeking the perfect angle and opportunity for his attack.

The giant zombie, though slow, wielded devastating power with its swinging fists and stomping feet.

Hu Sanhan and his men kept shooting, trying to distract the zombie, while Chen Yi, leaping from place to place, spotted his opening.

His eyes narrowed, and he launched himself straight at the giant zombie’s eye.

With a fierce thrust, the twin-bladed knife buried itself deep in the zombie’s left eye. It let out a piercing wail, its enormous body shuddering violently.

Chen Yi wrenched his blade free, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

“Well done! Keep targeting its eyes!” Hu Sanhan shouted, rallying the group.

Without hesitation, Chen Yi sprang into the air again, this time aiming for the zombie’s other eye.

But the monster, sensing danger, flailed wildly with its massive arms, trying to swat him from the sky.

Twisting in midair, Chen Yi dodged, then slashed at the monstrosity once more.

The twin-bladed knife struck home, piercing the zombie’s other eye. The creature shrieked even more horribly, its movements growing increasingly frenzied.

“Now! While it’s blinded!” Hu Sanhan shouted, leading his team in a hail of bullets, seizing the chance to bring the beast down.
