Chapter 383
A handso young man with a deathly pale face, sunken cheeks, and eerie blood-red eyes, still clapping, appeared before them.
He wore an old combat suit and alloy boots, looking not much different from Lu Sheng and his team.
On his wrist was even a similar communication wristband, though it seed much older.
The handso young man smiled and said to Lu Sheng, “You are the smartest and strongest. Your flesh will be the most delicious. Eating you will make even stronger.”
The young man spoke naturally and casually, as if eating people was just a normal thing.
Hearing his words, the beast-like people around him also showed longing expressions.
Soone in the crowd rasped, “Lu Moying, you can have that guy. But the other four must all be left to us.”
“Of course.” The handso young man smiled, “I always eat the best.”
These people chatted casually, their eyes sweeping over Lu Sheng and his team. Like diners with knives and forks, discussing how to carve up the dishes on the table.
The four mbers of the Tiger Scorpion team were sweating profusely, gripping their cold weapons tighter and tighter.
The usually silent middle-aged man suddenly spoke up, “Lu Moying, you’re the Eastern Star from the last generation! Didn’t you die over ten years ago?!”
The middle-aged man’s words were like a stone causing ripples in a pond.
Everyone’s eyes turned to him.
“Old Qi, you know this guy?”
The bald man widened his eyes at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man nodded solemnly, “You guys joined the Star Martial area later, so you don’t know many things. At that ti, the Eastern Military Region didn’t have the Seven Luminaries, only a few top geniuses known as the Eastern Stars! This Lu Moying was one of them, ranked third on the Eastern Star Martial Artist leaderboard with the combat power of thirteen stars. But over ten years ago, he disappeared during a major operation to suppress a outbreak. Everyone thought he was dead … Turns out, he was hiding here, surviving on the flesh and blood of his fellow Masters.”
As the middle-aged man spoke, his tone beca extrely complex and emotional.
The other mbers of the Tiger Scorpion team looked even more grim.
They hadn’t expected the leader of the martial maniacs to be a forr Eastern genius.
A top master with thirteen-star combat power over ten years ago, even stronger than Lu Sheng by half a star!
“Thirteen-star combat power over ten years ago, how terrifying must he be now?” The bald man muttered.
Zhan Hongyu glanced at Lu Sheng, who remained calm, took a deep breath, and quickly said, “He might not be stronger now. After all, he hasn’t had enough resources for over ten years. His vitality must have declined. His combat power is probably no longer at its peak …”
The others were stunned, and upon reflection, it seed plausible, so they relaxed a bit. But the handso young man in the distance laughed as if hearing the funniest joke in the world, clutching his stomach.
“Not enough resources? Haha, are you joking?”
The handso young man laughed until tears ca out, pointing at Zhan Hongyu and the others, “You guys are my best food! And … Do you know why there are so few exotic beasts on the thirtieth floor? Why? Haha …”
The young man’s mad laughter echoed through the black mist, spreading far in the vast cave. The sinister Masters around him also wore mocking smiles, looking at Zhan Hongyu as if she were a clueless clown.
The little comfort the four mbers of the Tiger Scorpion team had found was shattered in an instant.
They turned pale, almost unable to stand.
“Alright, enough nonsense …”
The handso young man stopped laughing, glanced at his wristwatch, and said casually, “It’s almost past my dinner ti.”
With that, he took a step forward.
Imdiately, the black mist around him boiled, surging towards his body.
The handso young man seed to turn into a giant black vortex, representing the deepest darkness, constantly devouring everything around him …
***
The nearby black mist was rapidly devoured by the handso young man.
Revealing the jagged, pitted stone walls around.
The structure of the crevice was peculiar, looking like a canyon from above, but the lower it went, the wider it beca.
The downward slope extended towards the crust, expanding.
So the lower the level, the larger the space and the more complex the terrain.
At this mont, the black mist near the mithril mine where Lu Sheng and the others were was funneling into the handso young man’s nose and mouth, while distant black mist filled in, creating a spectacle of rolling clouds.
The evil Masters surrounding them were revealed as the black mist cleared.
Many had tattered clothes, exposing their bony limbs, so parts of their bodies even deford.
This was caused by years of erosion due to the black mist, cannibalism, and eating exotic beasts raw. Not just their bodies, even their martial wills were twisted. Calling them demons was not an exaggeration.
The handso young man had absorbed enough black mist, his entire being in a state of “saturation.”
He had beco extrely demonic.
Even his body underwent strange changes.
His body and limbs grew longer, making him even more emaciated, with the red blood vessels in his eyes forming a blood-colored sh.
He grinned, showing white teeth and dark red gums.
Even his facial bones changed, losing his previous handso look.
But his aura had grown more than tenfold stronger. Around his body, a black aura that distorted the air appeared. He seed like a light source, a black light source.
Constantly radiating darkness and a twisted will.
Just looking at the handso young man made the four mbers of the Tiger Scorpion team feel an indescribable oppression and fear growing crazily from the depths of their hearts.
It was a terrifying combination of horror and strength.
Surpassing many top Grandmasters they had seen before.
The evil Masters around also started moving, showing cruel and violent expressions, slowly approaching the five.
Although their individual auras were far weaker than the handso young man’s, their similar evil and strange aura combined.
Forming an invisible net in the air, enveloping the five.
“Eastern Star …”
The “transford” handso young man spoke faintly, “That was so long ago. Back then, I was as weak as an ant. Luckily, during the outbreak, I fell deep into the fissure, in a desperate situation, guided by a god … That was the true path to martial arts’ limits!”
The handso young man’s expression suddenly beca fervent.
Lu Sheng’s expression shifted, catching a key word in his words—”god”!
“What do you an by guided by a god?” Lu Sheng asked.
The handso young man didn’t seem to hear his question, continuing, “The essence of martial arts is to make oneself stronger by any ans. He was right, if exotic beasts can be food to make martial artists stronger. Then … martial artists who eat exotic beasts themselves are the best martial resource!”
Lu Sheng frowned and asked again, “Who is he?”
The handso young man didn’t answer, instead spreading his arms, raising his head slightly.
It looked like he was embracing or devoutly praying.
He murmured: “Eastern Star? No, now I am the sun of the East … Demonic Sun, Devil Sun. One day, my light will shine out of the fissure, covering the surface …”
The four mbers of the Tiger Scorpion team were pale as paper, barely able to hold their cold weapons.
