Seeing the group of people charging towards him!
Lin Lang remained unmoved! To put it bluntly.
With his current physical strength, even if he stood still and let them hit him as they pleased!
They wouldn't even be able to break his skin! However!
A toad doesn't bite, but it's still disgusting! Lin Lang had no desire for any physical interaction with them! So he silently set a standard in his heart: "Anyone who enters within one meter of me will be killed without mercy!"
...
But! Just as one person was about to cross the boundary! Liu Lan stepped forward, blocking Lin Lang:
"No! You can't kill him!"
Those people were shocked: "Teacher Liu, what are you doing?"
Her actions.
Not only confused those people.
But even Lin Lang was baffled—
This woman, one moment she was draining his life!
The next, she was stopping them from killing him? Did she want him dead or alive?
...
Liu Lan then said to those people:
"I attacked him only to stop him from killing more people!"
"Not to kill him!"
"You also can't kill him!"
She then turned to Lin Lang:
"Young man, as long as you promise to let us go and not pursue this further! I'll return the life force I took from you!"
So this thing can be returned after being absorbed? Only then did Lin Lang realize!
So this was Teacher Liu's plan! Indeed.
From the moment she stopped Zhou Feng earlier, it was clear that she wasn't inherently evil! All her actions were to reduce bloodshed.
But someone like her.
How could she be mixed up with these ruthless killers?
...
Those people exchanged glances.
Their faces filled with resentment! The looks they gave Lin Lang were as if they wanted to devour him alive!
But it was clear!
While they weren't exactly afraid of "Teacher Liu," they didn't dare completely ignore her opinion either.
Seeing Liu Lan's resolute expression!
They could only compromise:
"Fine, we'll spare his life!"
"But you absolutely cannot return his life force! Otherwise, once he recovers, he'll definitely come after us for revenge!"
"Let him live or die here in his current state! How long he lasts will be up to his own fate!"
"Besides that!"
"He must also hand over the sacred artifact!"
"Otherwise, we won't be able to explain ourselves to our master when we return!"
...
Liu Lan also remembered that the purpose of her coming here was for the sacred artifact.
So she turned to Lin Lang and advised:
"Young man, hand over the sacred artifact! You alone can't hold onto such an opportunity!"
Lin Lang also spoke earnestly:
"Teacher Liu."
"The sacred artifact you speak of, I really can't give it to you."
"Ha! He admitted it! The sacred artifact is indeed on him!"
One person seized the loophole in Lin Lang's words, immediately pointing at him and shouting excitedly!
But after he finished shouting.
He noticed that everyone around him was looking at him with expressions that said, "Where did this idiot come from?"
So he composed himself and pretended nothing happened: "Well, it's obvious, isn't it?"
...
"Young man! Why are you so stubborn!"
Liu Lan frowned, her face filled with urgency.
"No matter how precious that sacred artifact is, can it be more valuable than your life?"
"Indeed."
Lin Lang smiled slightly, gently patting Liu Lan's shoulder.
"It is very precious."
...
"Teacher Liu! This scoundrel won't hand over the sacred artifact unless he suffers a bit!"
At that moment.
A man holding a dagger stepped forward with a sinister look, his face cruel as he said:
"Let me do it! I'll use this knife to slice the flesh off his legs, piece by piece, and make barbecue! Slurp! How delicious that would be..."
Then.
He stepped within a meter of Lin Lang.
...
Lin Lang raised his eyes, calmly speaking to Liu Lan:
"You should be grateful that you respect life, so life respects you in return."
After saying this.
He pulled Teacher Liu behind him.
In the next instant! The plants growing around them suddenly began to twist and writhe madly! The ground trembled!
Stones and sand bounced!
Causing everyone's faces to change drastically! Then!
Huge roots burst forth from the earth!
Writhing in the air! Like the claws of demons! Or the tentacles of sea monsters!
Like iron whips!
They descended from the sky!
Bang! Bang! Bang! "Ah!"
Under a barrage of relentless strikes!
They were instantly killed or knocked to the ground, wailing like slaughtered pigs! Countless roots then wrapped around their bodies.
Dragging them underground!
"No—"
The cracked earth suddenly closed! All noise abruptly ceased!
...
A deathly silence.
As if nothing had happened.
Not a single mistake, not a single word, not a single detail out of place!
In this place.
Only Lin Lang and Liu Lan remained.
And Zhou Feng, who was sitting on the ground not far away, drooling in a daze.
...
Behind Lin Lang.
Liu Lan stood there, unable to utter a word! Her body trembled violently! Her lips quivered—
This was no longer a matter of whether to kill or how many to kill!
But how could this person be so strong?!
Even her "Life Drain" had no effect on him! In the blink of an eye! Over a dozen B-level powerers were buried underground without a chance to resist!
What... kind of person is he?
Or is this the power of that sacred artifact?
...
Lin Lang turned his head, looking at her: "Teacher Liu, do you want to avenge them?"
Liu Lan shivered! Instinctively, she replied:
"No!"
Lin Lang then asked:
"You said you're from the Bright Moon Hotel, what's the situation there now?"
His expression was calm, his gaze steady.
As if he hadn't just killed over a dozen people, but merely crushed a few bugs.
Was he so indifferent to life? What a terrifying person!
Even more frightening than Zhou Feng! Zhou Feng was just bloodthirsty.
But Lin Lang seemed indifferent to life! Unmoved by its loss, neither sad nor excited...
Liu Lan gave him a deep look, one filled with indescribable emotions!
Fear, disappointment, or resentment?
But she still sighed and said:
"The current owner of the Bright Moon Hotel is the Butcher, an A+ level Esper!"
"He also has a few servants, all A-level..."
As she spoke, she secretly observed Lin Lang's reaction.
Unfortunately.
Upon hearing the term A+, Lin Lang showed no surprise!
Did this mean that even an A+ level Esper was beneath his notice?
But Lin Lang was thinking—
Wasn't there an A+ level Esper standing right in front of him?
Liu Lan was a genuine A+ level! Her Life Drain ability, once targeting an enemy, ignored all defenses and directly drained their life essence!
And it couldn't be healed!
Such an ability could be considered monstrous! Even an A++ level Esper would likely hesitate to face it head-on! Unfortunately, Lin Lang, with his infinite health, was completely immune to it.
And without this ability, Liu Lan's combat prowess was no different from that of an ordinary person who hadn't awakened any superpowers.
...
Lin Lang then asked Liu Lan:
"Will that Butcher come seeking revenge on me?"
This was the only question he cared about.
He didn't care about the Butcher's level or what abilities he possessed.
At that moment!
Liu Lan's expression darkened: "It's not necessarily about seeking revenge on you."
"But since the sacred artifact is in your possession, the Butcher will definitely not let it go!"
"Moreover! The people around the Butcher are no ordinary individuals! They probably know everything that's happening here..."
Hearing this.
Lin Lang let out a sigh.
Seeing this.
Liu Lan thought he was finally starting to feel fear!
She was about to advise him to hand over the sacred artifact and flee as quickly as possible!
But to her surprise! Lin Lang said with a serious expression:
"In that case, we'll have to go to the Moonlight Grand Hotel and eliminate them all."
He didn't want.
To experience the relentless retaliation from the Black Dragon Society again!
It was endless and too bothersome! So.
If it couldn't be avoided.
It was better to take the initiative and nip this trouble in the bud! To pull out the weeds by the roots! And Liu Lan: "???"
Wait? Did I hear that right?
You're going to eliminate everyone at the Moonlight Grand Hotel?
