"I don't know."
Jiang Chen frowned. "Then who are you?"
"An assassin!"
At that moment, Jiang Chen's heart shook. The person who wanted him dead had actually hired an assassin to come for him.
"Tell me exactly who wants me dead, and I might spare your life."
A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in the youth's ashen eyes, but it quickly dimmed. He could feel that his body had been damaged beyond repair; recovery would be difficult, and besides, he had no information about the employer at all.
From the day he became an assassin, he had been prepared for death, but he never expected it to come so soon, or that he would die at the hands of a child.
He continued to shake his head and said, "I have no access to the employer's information, so don't waste your breath."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly turned ferocious. "After I die, even more powerful assassins will come. You cannot escape. Once you are targeted by us, there is only one fate for you: waiting for death!"
A surge of anger welled up in Jiang Chen's heart. He didn't care about any powerful assassins; at worst, he would hide in Holy Soul Village and let Tang Hao smash them one by one. But this feeling of having his life threatened was truly unpleasant.
Furthermore, he had to find out who was so vicious-minded and pay them back a hundredfold!
He looked at the youth collapsed on the ground, his eyes growing cold. "If you won't talk, I have my own ways of finding out."
Under the youth's horrified gaze, he transformed once more. His eyes turned pitch-black, and two sharp fangs bared wide as he closed in on the youth.
"What... what are you doing?"
No matter how indifferent he had been toward life in the past, now that it was his turn, he could not escape the fear in his heart.
Jiang Chen did not speak again. Under the youth's terrified gaze, he opened his mouth and bit directly into the youth's neck...
This was his first time biting a human, but there was no other way. If he wanted to find out who was trying to kill him, this was his only option.
His zombie venom not only possessed intense, lethal toxicity, but it could also turn other living beings into his puppets.
The Little Black Sparrow from before was one such example, though it was merely a low-level zombie puppet.
Although he lacked experience in biting humans, he possessed the memories of the previous generation of zombies. Once he turned the opponent into a zombie, the suppression of bloodline hierarchy would allow him to control them, provided their strength didn't vastly exceed his own.
His sharp teeth pierced the youth's skin and severed the artery. At that moment, Jiang Chen's soul trembled, as if something had awakened within him.
In the past, when he had tasted forbidden fruit and consumed the blood of poultry, he had found it delicious. Now, the massive surge of blood from the youth's neck felt like a stimulant.
The taste of that blood felt like nectar from the heavens, filled with supreme temptation.
Unable to restrain himself, he drank deeply, swallowing the blood. As it entered his stomach, it felt like he had consumed an elixir; his entire body's blood began to boil as if cheering, a sensation that felt ethereal and transcendent.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen, who had been immersed in the blood-fueled frenzy, froze. He felt a vast amount of memory information flooding into his mind—all of it concerning this youth.
From childhood to the present, the youth's memories were all transmitted into Jiang Chen's mind through the blood.
Jiang Chen regained some clarity; he had been drinking for a long time.
By now, the youth's eyes were wide with terror, his face as pale as paper, and his vitality was gradually fading. Jiang Chen hurriedly released his bite.
He had almost killed the youth. If he bit someone to death, they would only become a mindless walking corpse after turning into a zombie, and that was not the kind of zombie he needed.
