347: Chapter 341 Devouring People (Thanks to One Person’s Arcane Reward) 347: Chapter 341 Devouring People (Thanks to One Person’s Arcane Reward) Chen Hai took just one step before he paused, his whole being coming to a halt.
Originally, he had planned to use the Flame Power to incinerate the man fighting Xiang Dong into ashes.
However, the Hongming Blade he held in his hand, encased in a wooden box, suddenly trembled a few times.
“Kid, I, your Master Hongming, am sick of eating pigs all the time!”
“Let’s make a deal, the guy you’re about to kill, just let me eat him!”
“Eat one person and I won’t eat anything else for three days, how about that?”
The strange yet somewhat arrogant voice of the Hongming Blade rang out in Chen Hai’s mind almost simultaneously.
Normally, feeding the Hongming Blade with living people was something he would never do under any circumstances.
But now, looking at the little girls and boys cowering in the corner of the room, and then at the few beggars missing arms and legs, walking like zombies,
When his gaze finally fell on the boy whose arm had been sawed off, the bone already exposed, Chen Hai began to hesitate!
The men before him showed no humanity; they sawed off limbs and forced others to beg for money.
Were such utterly crazy, inhumane people, worse than pigs or dogs, even human?
“Eat one person, and don’t eat for three days?”
“Okay, I agree, I’ll let you have your feast.”
“But you can only eat one person, no more!” Hesitating for a moment, Chen Hai gritted his teeth and transmitted his message to Hongming Blade.
Indeed, all of these people deserved to die.
But he was also worried that if the Hongming Blade got addicted to eating humans, it could become a problem.
This broken blade, although always acting superior in front of him, at least for now, would inform him if it wanted to do something, asking for his opinion.
He could agree for the Hongming Blade to eat these beasts,
However, deciding specifically who it could and could not eat was up to him.
“Those with great causes do not bother with trivial matters, kid, you’re still so petty, fussing over eating a few people!”
“Forget it, I’ll listen to you, one person is better than none,” the Hongming Blade complained, clearly a bit dissatisfied.
But ultimately, it agreed to Chen Hai’s proposal without arguing against him.
Truth be told, after following Chen Hai, its days had been much better compared to those in the Great Tomb.
It didn’t have to trouble itself, had Blood Food for nourishment every day, and when it wasn’t sleeping, it even had the Calabash Brothers to watch!
Considering that Chen Hai had done his best to feed it, and although he had no merits but had put in hard effort, as long as the demands were not too excessive, the Hongming Blade felt it could slightly heed his words.
Upon hearing Chen Hai’s instruction, Xiang Dong, with an embarrassed face, had already retreated to the doorway.
If Bai Xiaohang was a fierce warrior, then Xiang Dong, at best, could be considered a tactician.
He had never been very good at martial prowess, barely meeting the standards of an ordinary person.
He could probably hold his own in one-on-one combat with ordinary thugs, but facing real desperados, he was clearly outmatched.
Xiang Dong’s opponent was a bald, burly man.
Seeing Xiang Dong retreat, the man paused briefly, and the next moment, he howled and, wielding a chair in his hands, charged directly towards Chen Hai.
From the initial greeting, the bald man had determined that the intruders were undoubtedly led by Chen Hai.
There’s an old saying: capture the king to capture the thieves.
He was charging directly at Chen Hai; seemingly, this was indeed his thought process.
Just as he got within three or four steps of Chen Hai, the wooden box Chen Hai had been holding finally opened.
A blood-red Fierce Blade appeared before the eyes of the bald man.
The next moment, a flash of Blood Light.
Like Instantaneous Movement, the blade had already appeared above the bald man’s head with a section of the blade tip brutally stabbing down into his brain.
Apart from being able to let out bouts of screams, the bald man’s body had lost all control.
The blade of the Hongming Blade, already drenched in blood, had a continual flow of blood light, giving it an extremely sinister appearance.
And the bald man’s exposed flesh, initially an abnormal crimson,
gradually turned pale as the Hongming Blade, bit by bit, continued to stab deeper from the top of his head into his body.
Once the Hongming Blade was completely embedded in the bald man’s body, apart from the hilt, he was completely dehumanized, transformed into a mummy, and fell to the ground.
Compared to consuming a pig, the Hongming Blade seemed even more brutal and cruel when consuming a human.
Looking at the bald man, now a mummy on the ground, Chen Hai couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
He walked over to the mummy, grabbed the hilt of the Hongming Blade, and pulled it out of the corpse.
Compared to before, the blade of the Hongming Blade distinctly had an added sinister blood light.
Fortunately, it didn’t act up and was smoothly put back into the wooden box by Chen Hai.
Xiang Dong, having already heard from Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian, knew that his boss was incredibly formidable and possessed some secretive, mystical techniques!
But seeing Chen Hai in action was his first time witnessing it.
At this moment, he was utterly shocked.
Compared to before, his gaze towards Chen Hai was filled with significantly more awe.
On the other side, hearing the screams of the bald man and watching him being stabbed in the head by a blade, turning into a mummy in a blink, Brother Biao and Liu, among others,
were shaken to their core, losing focus momentarily, and aside from Brother Biao, the rest were swiftly knocked to the ground by Bai Xiaohang and Bai Baoshan.
“Boss, how should we handle these people?” Bai Xiaohang, still lively, looked towards Chen Hai and asked.
“Don’t kill them, try to keep them alive!” Chen Hai casually responded, slightly furrowing his brow.
When he came, he hadn’t planned on letting Brother Biao and his group live.
At this moment, his instruction was mainly because he felt that he didn’t want these people to die too simply.
Chen Hai’s words reached Bai Xiaohang and Bai Baoshan, who exchange glances and nodded.
Lifting the iron rods in their hands, Bai Baoshan greeted the limbs of the few men on the ground.
As for Bai Xiaohang, he moved forward a few steps to help Tian Mingjian confront Brother Biao.
Seeing that the battle was decided and that he didn’t need to make a move himself, Chen Hai instructed Xiang Dong to guard the doorway.
He, himself, then paced around the room with his hands behind his back.
The little girls and boys shivering in the corner, upon seeing Chen Hai pass by them, looked nervous, their bodies visibly trembling even more.
His own cousin, Huang Yong, stood stupefied against the wall.
His demeanor was as if the events occurring inside had nothing to do with him.
Whether it be him or the other few disabled beggars, all had the same appearance.
Perhaps, they had already completely given up hope on life, living as if they were mere walking corpses.
With sympathy in his heart and considering he had pantyhose over his head, Chen Hai hesitated for a moment.
He didn’t show any abnormal behavior and called out the name Huang Yong once more.
Brother Biao, no longer able to withstand the combined force of Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang,
lost his saw when Bai Xiaohang knocked it away with a steel pipe.
Being unarmed, he was swiftly knocked to the ground within moments.
Having paced around the room once, Chen Hai paid no mind to the scene inside and, with his hands behind his back, unhurriedly walked into a side room.
How to dispose of Brother Biao and Liu, this riffraff?
What kind of death should he give them?
He was still hesitating, undecided.
Inside the side room was where this group stored their supplies.
Chen Hai had come here just to take a look around.
