Chapter 84 The man-eating ghost, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for!
The aroma of tea wafts through the air, and the steam rises high.
Mr. Bai's slender fingers held the lid of the purple clay teapot, gently skimming away the tea foam. His movements were fluid and graceful, as if this were not a post-apocalyptic world littered with corpses, but the Golden Hall of Vienna.
"Brother Lu, impressive skills."
Mr. Bai poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Lu Sheng. His eyes, behind his gold-rimmed glasses, narrowed slightly, revealing a shrewdness that seemed to see through the ways of the world.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Xiaosheng. Before coming to Zijin Mountain, my friends in the underworld kindly bestowed upon me the empty title of one of the three giants of Shanghai."
Upon hearing these five words, Qin Yue and Lin Hu, who were standing behind Lu Sheng, narrowed their eyes slightly.
The Golden Triangle of Shanghai!
That trading center that claims to have gathered half of the survivors from the Shanghai sea area and possesses absolute military power?
Rumor has it that the three giants are incredibly powerful, but unexpectedly they fled to Zijin Mountain like stray dogs and are now ruling as kings here.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow, his face expressionless.
After all that, it turns out they were the three giants from the old Shanghai.
No wonder the gang structure on Zijin Mountain looks so familiar—collecting tolls, monopolizing power, and dividing gangs into different classes. It turns out they've copied the system from Shanghai.
"So it was you guys. You couldn't make it in Shanghai, so you came here to desert."
Lu Sheng leaned back on the sofa, the Dragon Devouring Spear casually resting beside his leg, his tone indifferent.
Bai Xiaosheng paused slightly as he poured the tea, his eye twitched, but he quickly regained his smile.
"Brother Lu is so funny. A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. With the sea level in Shanghai rising and zombie hordes running rampant, we are just making a strategic relocation."
He clapped his hands.
"Slap! Slap!"
The side door opens.
Several hot, scantily clad young women walked in carrying trays.
On the tray were not only red wine and cigars, but also sizzling steaks.
Bai Xiaosheng pointed to the extravagance of the room, spread his arms, as if displaying his kingdom.
"Brother Lu, you're a smart man. The title the military gave you is just an empty name. What will you get by following that stubborn Chen Yan? Fighting? Shedding blood?"
He stood up, walked up to Lu Sheng, and stretched out his hand condescendingly, his voice full of seduction.
"Join us, and the position of vice president is yours."
"The women here are yours to choose from, the supplies are yours to use! With us brothers working together, these 100,000 survivors of Zijin Mountain are like pigs and sheep we raise; we can eat them however we want!"
Qin Yue's hand rested on the bow and arrow, her knuckles turning white.
Lin Hu's teeth were grinding together.
brute!
Treating their fellow human beings like livestock to be kept in captivity, this group of people is utterly rotten!
Lu Sheng looked at the well-maintained hand extended in front of him, and then at the steaming cup of tea on the table.
He laughed suddenly.
He smiled broadly, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.
"Are you done talking?"
Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback: "What?"
"So, have you finished saying your last words?"
Before he could finish speaking...
Lu Sheng suddenly raised his foot.
"Bang--!!!"
That valuable solid wood coffee table, along with the expensive tea set and boiling tea on it, instantly transformed into a giant cannonball, slamming hard into Bai Xiaosheng's face!
"Splash!"
The scalding tea splashed all over Bai Xiaosheng, and shards of the purple clay teapot left several bloody scratches on his refined face.
"ah!!"
Bai Xiaosheng let out a miserable cry and staggered backward. His once meticulously combed hair was now covered with tea leaves, making him look as disheveled as a drowned rat.
That lofty elegance shattered into pieces under that one kick.
Lu Sheng slowly stood up, raised the Dragon Devouring Spear with one hand, and his eyes were as cold as knives.
"I hate people like you the most."
"They're clearly man-eating monsters, but they insist on acting all high and mighty."
"If you don't want to be human, then die!"
Bai Xiaosheng wiped the tea and blood off his face, and his refined face instantly became ferocious and distorted, his features squeezed together, like a demon.
"You're asking for it!"
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
"Do it! Kill the man, leave the woman alive!"
"boom!"
At Bai Xiaosheng's command, the two black-clad bodyguards standing behind him instantly sprang into action!
These two are ruthless characters who fought their way out of the bloodbath in Shanghai, and their teamwork is extremely seamless.
The one on the left, whose muscles bulged and whose skin instantly turned a rock-like grayish-white, roared as he charged toward Lin Hu.
The one on the right was like a ghost, wielding two poisoned daggers, aiming straight for Qin Yue's throat.
"court death!"
Lin Hu roared, lightning crackling around his battle halberd as he charged head-on.
Qin Yue was not to be outdone; she released an arrow, its cold light gleaming.
"Bang! Bang! Clang!"
A violent collision resounded throughout the hall.
However, after only a few exchanges, Lin Hu and Qin Yue's expressions changed drastically.
These two bodyguards have extremely rich combat experience, and every move they make is a killing technique aimed at vital points. Moreover, their spiritual energy is just as abundant as theirs.
The rock bodyguard actually withstood Lin Hu's lightning and punched Lin Hu back several steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
The ghostly assassin was even more slippery, moving with ease through Qin Yue's arrows, and even leaving a bloody mark on Qin Yue's arm.
"Damn it! Is this the level 5 expert who escaped from Shanghai?"
Lin Hu was horrified.
Although both are Level 5, these desperate criminals who fought their way out of the zombie horde are more ruthless and decisive than the officers who train methodically behind the defensive line!
In the center of the hall.
Bai Xiaosheng looked at the two who were locked in a fierce battle and let out a triumphant laugh.
"Lu Sheng, do you see that? That's the difference!"
"You think you can act with impunity just because you bullied a few weaklings at Purple Gold Mountain? In the face of true powerhouses, you're nothing but a joke!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying white chill erupted from Bai Xiaosheng's center!
"Buzz—"
The temperature in the entire hall plummeted to freezing point in that instant.
The expensive carpet frosted instantly, the crystal chandelier cracked from the cold, and even fine ice crystals floated in the air.
Bai Xiaosheng hovered in mid-air, surrounded by a biting cold current, like a king in the snow.
Saint-level Rank – [Frost Lord]!
"To die below my Saint-level ranks is your honor!"
