Chapter 458

Thousands of miles away from the War City, on the second floor of a restaurant in a stone city, the guests are full and the business is prosperous. Dozens of Eight Immortals tables are filled with passing warriors who come to eat and drink.

At a table by the window, a middle-aged man who looked extremely thin, almost as if his bones were covered only by skin, sat there with a indifferent expression.

On his table, there were POTS of all sizes at least dozens of them. This middle-aged man seemed to have an amazing capacity for alcohol. Even after drinking so much, his face didn’t turn red and his heart didn’t race.

Only with his cold eyes, he sat in his seat and looked down at the pedestrians on the street below.

Every time he saw a warrior with slightly better strength, in his nà shuāng yīn zhì dé ràng rén xīn jì de eyes, there would bù jīn emit yī zhèn zhèn yōu hán de guāng máng , as if a starving beast had encountered fresh meat and wanted to devour the person alive.

His face showed a look of eagerness to move, struggle, hesitation, indecision. It took a long time for it to gradually subside. He couldn’t help but sigh and then grab the wine jug in front of him and drank heavily for a while.

“Starve this old man to death.” The middle-aged man muttered softly. His pair of thief eyes wandering on the guests on the second floor. There were also extremely depressing strange sounds in his throat. The expression on his face kept changing as if he was enduring the restlessness in his heart, extremely difficult.

“It’s still better in Cangyun Evil Ground. You can do whatever you want.” The middle-aged man sighed again.

The waiter brought up the aged fine wine one after another, and then quickly retreated in fear. When approaching this middle-aged man who was as skinny as a ghost, the waiter always had a sense of crisis that his life was hanging by a thread, as if this middle-aged man would turn into a fierce ghost at any moment and swallow him in one gulp.

Just when this middle-aged man had a face full of dissatisfaction and depression, the sound of conversation came from the side.

It was about the treasure hunt battle a few days ago. The people chatting seemed to have seen it with their own eyes and described the scene of the treasure hunt battle vividly.

“You don’t know yet, right? Now the number one son in the middle capital is no longer Liu Qingyao of the Liu family.”

“Someone defeated Liu Qingyao？” Everyone was shocked.

“Not exactly defeated. It’s just that the youngest son of the Yang family, relying on the strength of the True Yuan Realm Layer 8, confronted Liu Qingyao head-on for two moves without falling behind. Liu Qingyao is in the Divine Travel Realm Layer 3. There is such a big gap in strength, but still can draw. Given time, when that young master grows to the same height as Liu Qingyao, he will surely surpass him.”

“Is it true？”

“Of course it is. This news is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. That young master is amazing. He is young, but his cultivation is exquisite. He has gathered more than a dozen first-class helpers under him. I think that in this battle for the throne, he may be the one who laughs last.”

“Impossible？ Isn’t it said that that young master doesn’t have much personal connections？”

“Don’t you understand the trick of playing the pig to eat the tiger? First show weakness to the enemy, and then suddenly strike. Who can resist?”

“I remember, the youngest son. Isn’t his name Yang Kai？”

“That’s right, that’s Young Master Kai…”

As soon as he heard the name Yang Kai, the middle-aged man who was drinking heavily suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked over there, seemingly quite interested in this.”

The conversation of that table of people was not hidden, and naturally everyone on the second floor heard it. Immediately, someone sneered and retorted, “What do you know? That day, Young Master Liu clearly didn’t use all his strength, so that Yang Kai could hold on for two moves. I also saw it with my own eyes at that time. Do you know what Young Master Liu said?”

With a light laugh, he played a trick and then said leisurely, “Young Master Liu said, Yang Kai, you are not my opponent. I’ll wait for you to grow up. Let’s have a good fight again！ This is the bearing and demeanor that the number one son of the Central Capital should have. He just conceded two moves, and you think Yang Kai is really amazing？”

The warrior who spoke earlier was suddenly a bit unconvinced： “That’s just the polite words that Liu Qingyao said. If the third move was made, it’s not certain who would win and who would lose. Yang Kai is the real number one person in the Central Capital now！”

“Bullshit！”

The quarrel between the two quickly spread. Now all the warriors in the Great Han are paying attention to the battle for the heir, and naturally have their own ideas about the trend and future situation of the battle for the heir.”

In a short while, the warriors on the entire second floor were divided into two camps and argued non-stop.

Only the middle-aged man by the window remained, chuckling and sneering in a low voice, not saying a word. However, the light emitted from those eyes became more and more dangerous and terrifying.

The crowd argued for a long time but couldn’t reach a conclusion.

The warrior who spoke at the beginning had a red face and a thick neck. He turned his head and saw the middle-aged man, and couldn’t help but shout, “Hey, that guy, tell me, who is the number one person in Zhongdu now？”

“Does the old man need to say？” The middle-aged man was startled and asked in surprise.

“Yes, we want you to say. Seeing that you are silent, you must have your own opinion. Speak it out and let us all listen. But at your age, why do you call yourself the old man? Hahaha！”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh, suspecting that this middle-aged man liked to put on airs of being an elder.

On the second floor, it suddenly became quiet, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man, asking for his opinion.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and then said, “If the old man really has to say, the number one person in Zhongdu must be that Young Master Yang Kai. Not only the number one person in Zhongdu, but also the number one person in the world in the future, hehehe！”

Everyone was stunned. Even the group of people who strongly supported Yang Kai felt that this middle-aged man was a bit insane and shook their heads secretly.

It’s somewhat reasonable to say that Yang Kai is the number one person in Zhongdu now, but it’s too exaggerated to say that he will be the number one person in the world in the future.

The martial way has no end. So far, none of those top experts above the Divine Movement Realm dare to claim to be invincible in the world.

“This madman…” The warrior who favored Liu Qingyao looked contemptuous. “What kind of bullshit is he talking about? What kind of bird is that Yang Kai? He’s actually going to be the number one in the world in the future…”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly froze, if his throat was stuck by an invisible force and he could no longer make a sound.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him and couldn’t help but change color drastically.

I saw that the warrior’s complexion turned pitch black in an instant, as if he had been poisoned. His eye sockets were filled with bloodshot eyes, and blood flowed from all seven orifices.

The next moment, a visible energy suddenly flew out from the top of this person’s head, circled in the air a few times, and shot towards the middle-aged man by the window.

The middle-aged man opened his big mouth and directly swallowed this ball of energy into his stomach.

Extremely strangely, the middle-aged man’s skinny body suddenly expands by a circle after swallowing this energy. Although he still looked thin he was not as terrifying as before.

With a bang, the warrior with the black face fell headfirst onto the floor, completely devoid of vitality.

A chill rose from the bottom of everyone’s heart, making all the martial artists feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

No one knew how he died, but seeing the scene just now, no matter who it was, they clearly knew that this must be the doing of that terrifying middle-aged man.

A terrifying, chilly, gloomy, and fierce aura suddenly burst out, enveloping the entire restaurant.

The middle-aged man slightly lowered his head, and a strange laughter of ‘Jie Jie’ came from his throat. When the laughter entered their ears, the blood and qi of every martial artist surged, and their complexions instantly turned bright red, as if in this instant, their blood had been boiled by a big fire.

“Jie Jie Jie Jie…”

The laughter grew louder and louder, more and more rampant, extremely strange and gloomy.

“I’m hungry. Since you’ve come here, then I won’t be polite. If the young master pursues in the future, I also have an excuse! The middle-aged man said this, and his figure didn’t move.

Pa Pa Pa…

One after another, rays of light like blooming red roses burst open within the bodies of those martial artists. Their internal organs spilled out, and blood covered the ground. Every time a person died, a visible energy shot out from those broken corpses and was swallowed by the middle-aged man in one gulp.

The middle-aged man’s emaciated body was also expanding circle by circle. Gradually, he actually became somewhat handsome and charming. The only thing that remained unchanged was the cold light and the sinister look in his narrow eyes.

In an instant, the second floor of the restaurant became a hellish existence like that of a Shura. More than twenty martial artists died a “violent death!”

The remaining people trembled with fear, not even having the courage to resist. With expressions of pleading on their faces, they looked towards the middle-aged man, almost on the verge of crying.

“Not full yet!” The middle-aged man patted his stomach, looking completely unsatisfied. He looked at the dozen or so people who were still alive with a look of eagerness on his face.

Being stared at by him like this, everyone immediately prostrated themselves on the ground and vigorously kowtowed, continuously begging for mercy.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a while. For some unknown reason, he actually did not kill them all. Instead, with a flick of his body, he turned into a black mist and disappeared from the sight of the crowd.

After he left, the remaining people looked at each other in dismay, somewhat not understanding how this cruel and ruthless guys would let them go.

Judging from his displayed personality and cruel disposition, he wouldn’t frown even if he killed a dozen more people. But he didn’t do that.

After looking at each other, the crowd was shocked to find that the group of people who survived seemed to be the group who had just supported Yang Kai, while those who opposed Yang Kai had all died.

They couldn’t help but feel a sense of survival after a disaster and secretly relief.

Looking at the bloody scene around everyone couldn’t help but turn pale and vomited all the food they had just eaten.

These martial artists were all people who licked blood on the edge of a knife and hung their heads on their belts, but none of them had ever seen such a terrifying scene.

Those who died had almost become pieces and minced meat…

Outside the Stone City, a black mist suddenly appeared. The middle-aged man slowly showed his figure, looked at the Battle City thousands of miles away, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. He muttered softly, “I haven’t seen the young master for such a long time. I wonder how he is. Will I scare him if I go there like this？”

After being stunned for a moment, he couldn’t help but feel frustrated: “I don’t know if the young master will blame me. If I had known, I wouldn’t have stayed in the Cangyun Evil Land for so long.”
