Lin Langâs line of sight revealed an appalling scene.
Underneath the black robes!
Bodies that were incomplete, twisted and deformed, like a hellish painting.
Missing arms and legs were just the least of it.
There were even those resembling SpongeBob, with holes all over their bodies!
Some even had their skin stripped away, with veins and flesh exposed to the air...
What on earth were these things?
Clearly, they were a group of hideous, terrifying demons from hell!
No wonder they wore black clothes!
It was to conceal these horrifying forms that couldnât be seen in public!
Upon seeing this.
Lin Lang frowned slightly, unable to suppress a chill surging in his heartâ
Are these damn things still human?
How did they end up like this?
And theyâre still alive?
...
However!
Among this group of deformed humans, there was one exceptionâLiu Lan.
She was about twenty, with well-defined features and a gentle disposition.
Her entire being exuded a strong scholarly air!
Her eyes revealed a depth that belied her youthful appearance.
While her appearance wasnât astonishing.
At least it was normal.
In contrast.
Those freaks seemed more like creatures afraid of light, accustomed to living under the cover of black robes.
Suddenly exposed by Lin Langâs tearing away of their disguise.
They were terrified to the core!
And scrambled in all directions!
...
One of them ran especially fast!
To be precise, he jumped especially far!
He leaped up!
As high as ten meters!
Landing fifty meters away!
One could only say!
If Cao Zhi from back then had this kind of bounce!
He could have left the country in seven steps!
Yet his prominence immediately caught Lin Langâs attention:
[Ma Fei]
[Combat Power: B]
[Superpower: Bouncing (Level 7); Blood Sucking (Level 7)]
"He jumps high and can suck blood? Is this a flea?"
As he made his remarks.
A purple Spiritual Qi casually flicked from Lin Langâs fingers.
It shot through the air like an arrow!
And pierced through that "fleaâs" body from afar!
"Ah!"
The man screamed, collapsing to the ground!
Motionless.
...
Lin Lang killed someone.
His movements were crisp and clean!
Leaving no room for compromise!
In terms of intimidation towards enemies, he was on par with the bloodthirsty Zhou Feng.
This scene.
Left the others petrified in place.
"Ma Fei ran so far, yet was still killed in one hit! Thereâs no point in me running!"
Fear surged like a tide within them.
They dared not act rashly anymore.
Only to remain trembling in place, awaiting their fate.
"S-Sir, spare us..."
Then.
One after another, they knelt before Lin Lang.
...
Lin Lang did not kill them immediately.
He wanted to extract some information from them.
However.
Their appearance was too disgusting!
The kind that makes you physically uncomfortable just by looking at them!
Lin Lang could barely converse with them!
Luckily.
Liu Lan still stood there.
Her gaze was horrified and dazed!
As if she couldnât believe what was happening in front of herâ
This young man.
Was his power truly this terrifying?
In an instant!
He had defeated and dismantled their team with an average combat power of B-Class?
His combat power...
Must be at least A-Class!
...
Lin Lang turned around and asked Liu Lan:
"Speak, who are you people, and whatâs your purpose here?"
At the moment their eyes met!
Liu Lanâs heart skipped a beat!
But she quickly calmed down, slightly steadying her mood.
Then she answered truthfully:
"We came from Bright Moon Restaurant. This trip is to find a Holy Artifact."
"Holy Artifact?"
Lin Lang raised an eyebrow and pressed on:
"What Holy Artifact?"
Liu Lan replied:
"We arenât exactly sure what it is."
"Not sure?"
Lin Lang wasnât satisfied with this answer.
At this moment!
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a freak still unwilling to give up, trying to sneak away!
He pointed a finger at him!
The man froze at the spot, an ominous thought popping into his mind involuntarily:
"Damn it!"
The next second!
Bang!
His body exploded into a mist of blood!
"Ah!"
The rest were terrified out of their wits!
They hurriedly knelt down and begged Lin Lang for mercy!
"Spare us, sir!"
Lin Lang remained calm, blowing on his fingertips as if dismissing nonexistent smokeâ
Nice.
The long-unused Spiritual Energy Bomb.
The effect was still dazzling.
...
But this scene fell into Liu Lanâs eyes.
To her, it looked like Lin Lang was deliberately killing!
Forcing her to tell the truth!
Too cruel!
Just as inhumane as Zhou Feng!
Her body trembled slightly, and her voice had a hint of aggrieved sobbing:
"Iâm telling the truth!"
"A few days ago, Bright Moon City suddenly had some disturbances, all the Red Mist in the city converged in this direction!"
"So they speculated that a Holy Artifact might appear here!"
"Then they sent us to find it..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lang understood in his heartâ
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Sorry about that!
The Holy Artifact youâre looking for doesnât exist!
Or rather.
I am the Holy Artifact youâre seeking!
...
But Lin Lang definitely had no intention of going with them.
Feeling relieved, Lin Lang asked Liu Lan again:
"What is your job?"
Liu Lan also noticed.
Lin Langâs attitude had relaxed a bit, no longer so aggressive.
So she steadied herself and replied:
"Before the apocalypse, I was a teacher."
Then she paused, pleading for those people:
"Actually, they were all normal people before this!"
"Itâs all because of that Butcher, they became like this!"
"I beg you, give them a way out as well!"
Those people seized the opportunity to shout out:
"Sir! Spare our lives!"
...
Yet Lin Lang swept over them coldly.
They immediately lowered their heads again, not daring to provoke him.
Lin Langâs gaze returned to Liu Lan:
"What is your superpower?"
Liu Lan hesitated for a moment, then said:
"My Ability... is, is Life Granting!"
"Anyone who touches me can gain immense Life Force!"
"Even evolve..."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Hearing this, a slight smile crept onto Lin Langâs lips.
She didnât know that her combat power information was clearly marked in Lin Langâs viewâ
[Liu Lan]
[Appearance: 8 points]
[Recharge: 0 times]
[Loyalty: 10%]
[Return Multiplier: 100]
[Combat Power: A+]
[Superpower: Life Absorption (Level 10)]
Clearly, it was Life Absorption, yet claiming it was Life Granting?
This woman canât be trusted!
In Lin Langâs heart, a murderous intent gradually began to spread!
But at this moment.
Perhaps thinking the time was ripe!
Liu Lan suddenly launched a golden ray of light at Lin Lang!
Although it was a sudden strike!
Lin Lang could actually dodge!
After all!
His physical body combat power has surpassed human limits!
...
But he didnât dodge!
Because he wanted to see how this womanâs Ability worked.
...
The golden ray that Liu Lan shot hit Lin Langâs body.
Thus, establishing a channel between them!
At that moment!
Lin Lang only felt his Life Force rapidly draining away!
A faint fatigue spread throughout his body!
But!
Ever since his Sixth Enhancement, he had awakened an incredibly strong self-healing ability, practically immortal!
The Life Force being drained.
To him, it was like taking a small cup of water from an endless sea!
In the blink of an eye!
He was fully recovered!
...
On the other hand, Liu Lan!
At this moment, she appeared as if she couldnât drink anymore!
Her expression twisted in discomfort!
She couldnât help but exclaim:
"No! Itâs too strong! His Life Force is too strong!"
...
Lin Lang estimated.
If Liu Lan continued absorbing like this, she might explode even before he could kill her!
So Lin Lang cooperated.
Gradually suppressing his own aura.
Presenting a very tired and weak demeanor.
Seeing this!
Liu Lan finally sighed in relief, then disconnected the golden channel:
"Alright! He canât kill anymore."
And at this moment!
Those originally kneeling on the ground!
Suddenly sprang up!
Rushing towards Lin Lang!
"Ah! Kid, meet your death!"
