What Lin Lang saw before him was a horrifying sight.
Beneath the black robes!
Bodies were mutilated and twisted, resembling scenes from a hellish painting.
Severed arms and legs were the least of it.
Some were like SpongeBob, riddled with holes all over their bodies!
Even their skin had been stripped away, exposing their tendons, flesh, and blood to the air...
What kind of beings were these?
They were clearly a group of grotesque and terrifying demons from hell!
No wonder they wore black robes! It was to conceal their horrifying forms! Seeing this.
Lin Lang furrowed his brows slightly, a chill inevitably rising in his heart—
Were these even human? How had they ended up like this? And how could they still be alive in such a state?...
However!
Among this group of deformed humans, there was one exception—Liu Lan.
She was around twenty years old, with regular features and a virtuous demeanor.
She exuded a strong scholarly aura! Her eyes revealed a depth that didn't match her youthful appearance.
Her looks weren't particularly stunning.
But at least she was normal.
In comparison.
Those freaks seemed more like creatures of darkness, accustomed to living under the cover of black robes.
Now that Lin Lang had torn away their disguise.
They were utterly terrified!
Scattering in all directions!
...
One of them ran especially fast!
To be precise, he jumped especially far! With a single leap!
He soared ten meters high! By the time he landed, he was already fifty meters away! One could only say! If Cao Zhi had such jumping ability back in the day!
He could've crossed the country in seven steps! But his prominence immediately caught Lin Lang's attention:
[Ma Fei]
[Combat Power: B]
[Superpower: Jumping (Level 7); Bloodsucking (Level 7)]
"Jumps high and sucks blood? Is this a flea?"
While muttering this.
Lin Lang flicked a strand of purple spiritual energy from his fingertips.
It shot through the air like an arrow!
Piercing the "flea's" body from a distance!
"Ah!"
The man let out a scream and immediately fell to the ground! Motionless.
...
When Lin Lang killed.
His movements were swift and decisive!
Leaving no room for error! In terms of instilling fear in his enemies, he was no less terrifying than the bloodthirsty Zhou Feng.
This scene.
Left the others frozen in place.
"Ma Fei ran so far, yet he was still killed in one strike! What's the point of running now?"
Fear surged through their hearts like a tidal wave.
They no longer dared to move.
They could only stand there, trembling, awaiting their fate.
"P-please spare us, sir…"
Then.
They knelt before Lin Lang one after another.
...
Lin Lang didn't kill them immediately.
Instead, he wanted to extract some information from them.
But.
Their appearances were too repulsive! Just looking at them made him feel physically ill!
Lin Lang could barely bring himself to speak to them!
Fortunately.
Liu Lan was still standing there.
Her gaze filled with shock and disbelief!
As if she couldn't believe what had just happened—
This young man.
Was actually so terrifyingly powerful? In an instant!
He had defeated and dismantled their team, which had an average Combat Power of B? Then his Combat Power...
Must be at least A-level!...
Lin Lang turned to Liu Lan and asked, "Speak, who are you, and what is your purpose here?"
The moment their eyes met!
Liu Lan's heart skipped a beat! But she quickly regained her composure, calming her emotions slightly.
Then she answered truthfully:
"We come from the Bright Moon Hotel. Our purpose here is to search for a sacred artifact."
"A sacred artifact?"
Lin Lang raised an eyebrow and pressed further, "What kind of sacred artifact?"
But Liu Lan replied:
"We're not entirely sure what it is."
"Not sure?"
Lin Lang was not satisfied with this answer.
At that very moment! Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a freak who hadn't given up yet, trying to sneak away!
So he pointed a finger at the person! The moment he was pointed at, the person froze in place, and a dreadful thought instinctively arose in his mind:
"I'm done for!"
The next second! Bang! His body exploded into a cloud of blood mist! "Ah!"
The others were terrified out of their wits!
They desperately kowtowed to Lin Lang, begging for mercy!
"Spare us, my lord!"
But Lin Lang calmly blew on the non-existent smoke at his fingertip—
Not bad.
The spiritual energy bomb, unused for so long.
Its effect was still as impressive as ever.
...
But to Liu Lan, this scene was different.
She saw it as Lin Lang deliberately killing someone to force her to reveal the truth!
How cruel!
Just as heartless as that Zhou Feng! Her body trembled slightly, and her voice carried a hint of a tearful plea: "I'm telling the truth!"
"A few days ago, there was a sudden disturbance in Bright Moon City, and all the red mist in the city began converging in this direction!"
"So they speculated that a sacred artifact might be emerging here!"
Not a single word or detail was missed!
"And then they sent us to find it..."
Hearing this, Lin Lang understood—
So it was all a misunderstanding.
My apologies!
The sacred artifact you're looking for doesn't exist! Or rather.
I am the sacred artifact you're seeking!
...
But Lin Lang certainly had no intention of going with them.
Feeling relieved, Lin Lang asked Liu Lan:
"What do you do?"
Liu Lan also noticed.
That Lin Lang's attitude had softened somewhat, and he was no longer as aggressive.
So she steadied herself and replied:
"Before the apocalypse, I was a teacher."
Then she paused and pleaded on behalf of the others: "Actually, they were all normal people before this!"
"It's all because of that butcher that they ended up like this!"
"Please, spare their lives too!"
The others seized the opportunity to cry out:
"My lord! Spare us!"
...
But with a cold glance from Lin Lang.
They immediately lowered their heads, not daring to make any more noise.
Lin Lang's gaze returned to Liu Lan:
"What's your superpower?"
Liu Lan hesitated for a moment, then said: "My ability... is, is Life Bestowal!"
"Anyone who touches me can gain powerful life force!"
"Even evolve..."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Hearing this, the corners of Lin Lang's mouth curled slightly.
She didn't know that her combat power information was clearly displayed in Lin Lang's vision—
[Liu Lan]
[Appearance: 8/10]
[Charging: 0 times]
[Loyalty: 10%]
[Return Rate: 100]
[Combat Power: A+]
[Superpower: Life Drain (Level 10)]
It's Life Drain, yet she calls it Life Bestowal? This woman isn't honest either!
A hint of killing intent began to rise in Lin Lang's heart! But at that moment.
Perhaps thinking the timing was right! Liu Lan suddenly shot a golden light at Lin Lang!
Although it was a sudden attack, Lin Lang could have dodged it! After all, his physical Combat Power had already transcended human limits!...
But he chose not to dodge because he wanted to see how this woman's ability worked.
...
The golden light emitted by Liu Lan struck Lin Lang's body.
A channel was established between the two!
In that instant!
Lin Lang felt his life force rapidly draining away!
A faint sense of fatigue spread throughout his body! However!
He had awakened an incredibly strong self-healing ability during his sixth enhancement, making him virtually indestructible! The amount of life force he lost was like scooping a tiny ladle of water from an endless ocean!
In the blink of an eye!
He had fully recovered!
...
On the other hand, Liu Lan!
She looked as if she had drunk too much alcohol, her expression twisted in discomfort!
She couldn't help but exclaim:
"No! It's too much! His life force is too strong!"
...
Lin Lang estimated that if Liu Lan continued to absorb his life force, she would explode before he could even kill her! So, Lin Lang cooperated.
He gradually suppressed his own aura.
Pretending to be exhausted and weak.
Seeing this!
Liu Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief and severed the golden channel:
"Enough! He can't kill anyone anymore."
At that moment! The people who had been kneeling on the ground!
Suddenly surged up!
They all charged at Lin Lang! "Ah! Kid, prepare to die!"
