Chapter 959 Love And Hate III

"Zheng Xiu Ma…. what happened to you, what happened to all of you?" The fifth elder gaped at them in horror.

They all had the same black eyes as Jin Kai, they all have the same evil expression that is devoid of human emotions only blood lust, Fifth Elder couldn't believe what he had seen suddenly an old memory from when they were young flashed through his mind.

"Why....?" The fifth elder's voice was hoarse from despair.

Elder Zheng looked at him with his dark eyes, "Why did you resist brother? if you follow the experiment you could be like us..." There was a hint of disappointment on Elder Zheng's face.

"Like what, a monster?!" Fifth Elder grit his teeth exasperatedly, he cannot understand what were they thinking to change their humanity just for power.

Elder Zhuang sneered as he looked at Elder Fifth with scorn, "Don't waste your breath Xiu Ma, he'll never understand, he's always been like that, a self-righteous man who is better than anyone else, you know he always thinks he better than us" he scoffed in utter disdained.

"And you, Zhuang Zhen Yao, I always knew your ambition could only be matched by your greed, I should have known that you would become the monster you always meant to be," the fifth elder quipped, compared to the others in his relationship with Elder Zhuang was the worst it's been a long time since they see eye to eye.

"Ha, you are too sentimental that's why you will lose!" Elder Zhuang released his Qi like a shockwave that was about to hit them like a ferocious wave in the middle of the ocean hence the Fifth Elder swiftly took a step in front of them and created a barrier to protect them soon after the two great powers clashed with each other and the crash of their power destroyed the objects around them.

Unfortunately, the fifth elder's strength was no match for the Lesser-Demon he was pushed back by Elder Zhuang's strength, fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, without a cue Lan Hua swung her sword while lunging at Elder Zhuang, seeing Lan Hua movement immediately Jin Hua, Su Sheng and Su Feng also lunged towards Elder Zheng and Zhuang at the same time, hence the battle started.

As they fought, Jin Kai looked at them with a calm expression, his memories bringing him back to the first time he met Lao Min Na. The first time he saw Lao Min Na he was mesmerized by her beauty but who wouldn't, Lao Min Na's beauty was already very famous otherwise how could it be with her position in the Lao family plus her birth mother's disgraceful reputation she could attract Zhao Mu Fan's attention and how she made Zhao Yi Chen fell in love with her from the first sight if not because of her extraordinary beauty.

He admits that he likes her, not only does she have stunning beauty, she is also smart, cunning, and a bit cruel but he likes her nonetheless, in his world one has to be strong in strength and mind if they want to stand on top and he wants to stand on top so a woman like Lao Min Na would be the perfect match for him even though Lao Min Na already has a fiancé but Jin Kai believed he would eventually be able to charm her, after all, no woman had ever rejected him before so he had no doubts he could snatch her from Zhao Yi Chen.

But he was wrong, he was wrong about Lao Min Na, about himself, about everything.

The book and stories told him that the devil messenger will have a sinister face, a rough voice like a beast, and hollow eyes like a corpse, but who would have thought that the devil would send someone as pure as the first snow that fell from the sky and sweeter than the love itself.

'If you could see the future, what would you do?'

At that time Jin Kai laughed it off thinking that Lao Min Na was quite adorable for having a silly thought like a mere young girl, therefore, he answer perfunctorily 'I believe the future it's in your hands, I believe I can make it through everything' just like any man from influential family Jin Kai has outmost confidence with his own ability.

'Really....' Lao Min Na had a strange gleam in her eyes for a second a sinister mean flash in her eyes, 'What if I show you....?'

What he saw that day haunts him to this day, what he saw was worse than any nightmare he had had in his life, viler than anyone could imagine and darker than the night itself.

He saw corpses lying on the ground with no one to take care of while strangely shaped beasts tore and gnaw the corpses along with creatures that were similar to humans but had long claws and animal-like fangs together they were having a feast with the corpse.

Jin kai turned his gaze from the sickening sight then the air around him was covered with smoke and dust, the trees around him had dried up not even dry leaves left.

Confuse, Jin Kai then look down and realize the ground has cracked and when he looked behind her the familiar river he used to know was flooded with blood and floating corpses, He wants to run but somehow his legs were nailed to the ground as he looks up the sky he sees black smoke move slowly covered the sky like a thick blanket.

The vision was so real that now that he closed his eyes he could smell the charred and fishy blood that filled the air and when he opened his eyes, the misty lake clan he knew had turned into a barren black field without leaving anything behind other than death.

p He then realized that he was alone standing surrounded by horror, there was nothing he could do, never in his life had he felt so helpless like a child, while everything he knew disappeared in front of him like dust. Although he doesn't have much care about Misty Lake and its people, still he doesn't want to see them destroyed into nothingness.

Suddenly behind the thick smoke and dust, a dark silhouette approached him, ominous yellow eyes shone in the darkness then he heard a cold hiss that chilled his blood.

'ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ No(v) e lBin ᴏɴʟʏ.',

'Follow me and I will promise the Misty Lake clan will have a place when this world ends, you can become a man of God and perish with this world or you can side with me and survive...your choice, human'

Jin Kai's attention returned to the fight, he watched Jin Hua closely as he fought fiercely against Elder Zheng and the creatures he created from humans using demon blood even though they were not as strong as Lesser-Demons but they were no less deadly.

Lao Min Na called them Hell Critters, an ugly name for ugly creatures, a well-suited name indeed. Still, he needs to be grateful to Sanguan Li Ye and Zi Quan Mei also all the people that sent themselves to the whispering Forest to be their experiment it was from them that his people figure out the better way to use the demon blood.

Finally, he was able to complete the demon's orders, therefore he could only hope that the demon would fulfill his promise as well, maybe he was naive but a little hope was still better than nothing.

Jin Hua was suddenly thrown into the air by Elder Zheng's punch, seeing that Lan Hua jumped to stop Jin Hua from falling when Elder Zheng wanted to take a chance amid Lan Hua's worries, the fifth elder blocked his attack.

Annoyed that his attack was interrupted by Fifth Elder, Elder Zhuang let out a loud roar, and waves of dark energy rose within him like a whirlwind which then pushed Fifth Elder away.

Fresh blood spurted from his mouth, the fifth elder held his chest as he tried to catch his breath, he realized that he was no match for Elder Zheng's strength but he couldn't give up. Meanwhile, Lan Hua helped Jin Hua who was coughing up blood but it didn't take long because the creature was attacking them from all directions.

Just like Su Feng and Su Sheng, they both had a hard time fighting against Elder Zhuang, seeing them cornered Jin Hua using her Beastmaster skill she quickly make a long whistle, and all of a sudden hundreds of hamsters if not a thousand came rushing from all over the place and like ants, they crawl at the strange creature then bit and tore at their skin, the two elders did not expect that they would be overwhelmed by this little beast.

Su Feng took this opportunity and threw the poison knife at Elder Zhuang and managed to injure his eyes, Lan Hua also didn't want to lose he threw the remaining explosives at the two elders and an explosion occurred.

The Fifth Elder mustered his strength and then created a formidable barrier to withstand the impact of the exploitation, fierce hot winds blowing along with the dust shrouding them.

Jin Hua and the others could only hope that their attack would be successful. Unfortunately, when the smoke and dust subsided, the two elders remained standing unscathed with only their clothes torn from the explosion.

"You, a bunch of bugs!" Elder Zhuang growled in pure hatred, "Originally I wanted to keep your body intact for the experiment, but now I will tear you apart!" he roared and dark energy surged within him like a whirlwind then blackish veins popped on his skin as his body grew larger and larger later his skin gradually turned into green scales that look like a Lizard.

Elder Zheng also turned into another monstrous creature as his body was covered with sharp thorns that grew from within his skin just like Elder Zhuang his body also enlarged then his skin turn dark and long giant claws grow on his hands.

Jin Hua and others saw their changes with faces filled with horror, and fear crawling over their body and prickling every inch of their skin as the creatures that were the two venerable elders made strange sounds.

"What...what is that thing?" Jin Hua gulped in utter panic and fear then she turn her head at Jin Kai "What did you do to them, what have you done?!" she shout at Jin Kai at the top of her lungs her voice croaking from frustration and deep sadness.

Jin Kai's eyes were hollow and deadened, he look at Jin Hua then smile eerily "Can you see sister, this is the evolution for our future sake"
