In the Jiangbei villa district, near Xu Xingyao's villa, several Ferocious Beasts were peacefully resting in their caves. Suddenly, they caught the scent of unfamiliar human presence in the air!
"Roar!"
Without hesitation, they emerged from their caves and headed toward the source of the scent.
...
They soon encountered a group of about ten people who had intruded into their territory. All of them were cloaked in black, covering their entire bodies, revealing only their cold, piercing eyes. They looked mysterious and ominous.
"Roar!"
The Ferocious Beasts leaped out, blocking the path of the intruders and roaring at them, signaling them to leave immediately!
The leader of the group, a tall and imposing figure, presumably a man, looked at the beasts blocking his way. His eyes showed no fear, only disdain. "Where did these beasts come from, daring to block my path?" he sneered, his voice unmistakably male.
With that, he dashed forward in a flash, appearing in front of one of the Ferocious Beasts. "Ha!" he shouted, delivering a powerful punch. "Bang!" The unfortunate beast didn't even have time to react before its head was smashed into the ground, bursting like a watermelon. Its body twitched as its organs splattered everywhere.
"Boss, you're amazing!" his followers cheered from behind. However, one slender figure among them showed discomfort in their eyes.
"Roar!"
The remaining Ferocious Beasts, instead of being frightened, became enraged and lunged at the man. "Truly brainless beasts!" the man scoffed, standing his ground. He grabbed the charging beasts, slamming one to the ground, kicking another away, and tearing the third one in half with his bare hands.
...
In no time, all the Ferocious Beasts were dead, except for a wild dog whose spine had been broken. It was still alive, howling in agony. The man, now covered in blood, looked even more crazed. He strode over and crushed the dog's head under his foot, grinding it into the ground.
"Boss, you're incredible! Those beasts were all C++ Grade and B Grade, yet you took them down so easily!" a few of his followers hurried over, flattering him with bowed heads.
"Enough chatter!" the man said coldly. "Keep moving. The sacred artifact must be nearby!" As he spoke, one of his eyes, hidden beneath his black cloak, was normal, while the other was spinning at an unnatural speed.
"Yes, sir!" the group responded in unison.
...
Inside Xu Xingyao's three-story villa, in the bedroom, the large bed was rocking rhythmically.
"Mmm! Oh!" From beneath the covers came a series of moans that could make one's bones melt.
At that moment, a series of agonized howls reached Lin Lang's ears. Though the sound was faint and distant, Xu Xingyao hadn't noticed it yet. Lin Lang, however, was already on alert. "Huh? What's wrong?" Xu Xingyao asked, her ears not as sharp as Lin Lang's, but she quickly sensed his unease.
"Someone's here," Lin Lang said, his eyes narrowing. He then released his Divine Sense and immediately discovered that the Ferocious Beasts he had hired as guards for Xu Xingyao had all been killed.
The perpetrators turned out to be a group of black-clad individuals with a very non-mainstream style! He assessed their combat power——
[Zhou Feng]
[Combat Power: B++]
[Superpower: Great Strength (Level 9); Iron Bones (Level 9)]
——
[Liu Daxiang]
[Combat Power: B]
[Superpower: Spirit Combat (Level 8)]
...
More than ten people!
Most of their combat power was at B level! Among them, one A-level stood out——
[Liu Lan]
[Appearance: 8/10]
[Charging: 0 times]
[Loyalty: 10%]
[Return Rate: 100]
[Combat Power: A+]
[Superpower: Life Drain (Level 10)]
"A woman?"
Lin Lang wasn't too concerned about the combat power of these black-clad individuals.
Because whether it was B-level, A-level, or even S-level.
To him, they posed no threat.
However.
The ability of that A-level woman, Life Drain, did pique his interest.
"Who's coming?"
On the bed, Xu Xingyao also opened her eyes wide.
"I don't know."
Lin Lang replied.
Now.
The red mist within the boundaries of Mingyue City had disappeared! Although the threat of ferocious beasts still remained.
But the number of people daring to venture out had definitely increased! After all, they had been cooped up indoors for so long.
Running around, exploring.
It's possible they just happened to wander here?
That's quite normal.
As for them killing Lin Lang's ferocious beasts, it could also be seen as an act of self-preservation——
Humans and ferocious beasts have always been on opposing sides.
And these ferocious beasts weren't Little Tiger.
Lin Lang had no emotional attachment to them.
So their deaths didn't matter.
He had no intention of avenging them.
However.
In Lin Lang's perception.
Those people were still steadily approaching him...
...
The group of black-clad individuals was closing in on Xu Xingyao's villa!
The left eye of the man leading them.
Was flickering with an unusual red light! Like a flame in the dark night! And as they drew closer to the villa.
The red light grew even more dazzling! As if resonating with some unknown force within the villa.
...
Finally!
They stood before the villa's main gate.
At this moment.
The red light in the man's left eye had reached its peak brightness!
Like a burning gem!
Extremely eye-catching!
"Boss, there's still someone inside!"
One of the group approached and spoke to the man.
The man referred to as "Boss" had a hungry look in his eyes:
"The sacred artifact is here! Let's go! Inside!"
"Yes!"
But just as they were about to force their way in——
Lin Lang descended from the sky!
Suddenly appearing before the group of black-clad individuals!
His voice was as cold as a winter breeze: "Who are you?"
At that moment!
The man's left eye, flickering with red light!
Suddenly burst with blood vessels! The light intensified!
And in an instant, it exploded! Blood splattered everywhere, a shocking sight!
This sudden turn of events made everyone instinctively gasp! Lin Lang's brow furrowed slightly.
A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes: "What's this? A firework show with your eyes as the opening act?"
...
Yet! The man who had lost an eye seemed completely unfazed by the pain!
He even appeared indifferent to it!
He tilted his head slightly, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth:
"Even the eye bestowed upon me by the Lord has exploded!"
"That means the sacred artifact is on you, doesn't it?"
"Sacred artifact? What sacred artifact?"
Lin Lang was utterly baffled! Not only were these people dressed strangely, but their actions were also bizarre. What they said was even more incomprehensible! The man, however, declared:
"Stop pretending. Hand it over willingly! Maybe I'll make your death a bit quicker!"
Before the words had even fully left his mouth, his aura surged violently, like a raging flood, overwhelming and unstoppable! He unleashed a chilling killing intent, as if he intended to devour the entire world!
"Oh?" Lin Lang's eyes were filled with mockery and composure. "You're already talking about killing before we've even had a proper conversation? Are you always this arrogant?"
The man glared at him, his voice brimming with unshakable authority. "Hmph! The fact that you're still able to speak is already an act of mercy on my part!"
Lin Lang replied indifferently, "Is that so?" He remained unfazed by the man's threats, his tone dripping with disdain and contempt.
This only infuriated the man further. He took a deep breath, his muscles tensing like a wild horse ready to break free from its reins, preparing to launch a deadly attack on Lin Lang!
Yet, Lin Lang's face remained calm, as if he had already seen through all of the man's tricks.
But just then, a sharp cry rang out from the group of black-clad figures: "Zhou Feng, stop!"
