416: Chapter 416 I Have a Second Stage, What Do You Have? (Second Update)

The two sides looked at each other, stunned for a moment.

"You are severely injured?"

The middle-aged man's gaze was sharp, instantly determining that his state at this moment was very bad.

He was not even as good as an ordinary person; just standing there, his body was swaying, and his breathing sounded like pulling a broken bellows.

Minister Luo Lie did not answer.

His gaze swept past the three of them and stared fixedly at the huge red eyeball suspended in mid-air.

This battle with White Owl could be said to be the most perilous and difficult battle of his life.

From the Inner World fighting to the real world, from inside the building battling up to hundreds of meters in high altitude.

Until the last shred of strength was exhausted, he still ended up losing.

Even his proud Domain was forcibly shattered by the opponent, and it was simply impossible to condense it again in a short time.

Under normal circumstances, he could only admit defeat and choose to escape crestfallen.

But now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was right in front of him.

Looking at the red eyeball exuding a seductive Aura, Minister Luo Lie's breathing became increasingly heavy.

As long as... as long as he could devour it!

Even if he just absorbed a few drops of blood from it and swallowed those flesh tendrils, his injuries could recover at the fastest speed.

Relying on the extraordinary characteristics of this odd item, there was even hope to make up for the damage to the psychokinetic coat and return to the Peak state.

By then, he could control the Domain again and chop that damned monster into a thousand pieces!

Although reason told him that devouring such a filthy thing was extremely disgusting,

and would inevitably have strong negative effects, causing unpredictable consequences,

the desire for revenge had long since overwhelmed everything.

Minister Luo Lie only had one thought in his mind now.

Eat it, regain power, and become stronger!

"Give the crimson eye to me!"

He roared, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse and crazy:

"This is the property of our Noah Organization, all irrelevant people, get lost!"

"Sorry, Minister Luo."

The young man sneered, interrupting his delusion: "This treasure already has a new owner."

Minister Luo Lie was slightly startled upon hearing this.

Looking at the already opened space gate, and then looking at the Formation positions of the three people, he suddenly realized:

"You... are Xiao..."

Swoosh—

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly moved.

His figure disappeared in place, and the next instant he appeared in front of Minister Luo Lie like a ghost.

His five fingers were like iron claws, firmly clasping the opponent's crown.

Minister Luo Lie's body stiffened abruptly, and he couldn't even muster a shred of strength to resist.

He only felt that his whole body's essence, Qi, and spirit were being frantically sucked away through the top of his head.

His skin quickly lost moisture and luster, becoming withered and sallow.

His muscles atrophied, and his eyeballs sank deep into their sockets.

Before and after was no more than two or three seconds, and a living person turned into a skin-and-bone mummified corpse.

Minister Luo, who was just full of ambition and trying to retaliate against White Owl, died here in such an inexplicable manner.

"How truly foolish."

The middle-aged man let go of his hand, letting Minister Luo Lie's corpse fall onto the flesh carpet, his tone cold:

"Clearly suffering heavy injuries and losing all abilities, yet still feeling good about yourself, you just had to blurt out what was on your mind."

"You are forcing me to silence you..."

He sighed helplessly, and then turned around:

"Quickly take the crimson eye away, don't delay things."

The young man and Xiao Ming shuddered and answered in unison.

However, their hearts were filled with tension, fearing that a large group of pursuers would surge in at this moment and discover the crime scene and themselves as the murderers.

You must know that was a member of the Board of Directors of the Noah Organization, a dignified S-class expert.

He was actually solved just like that by Second Master as if pinching to death a bug.

This time they had really caused a huge disaster.

However.

Before they could make a move, another steady sound of footsteps sounded.

The three of them immediately turned their heads again, looking over with full vigilance.

They saw a tall and robust figure walking out from the shadows of the entrance.

That was a man who didn't wear any clothes, but covered his true face with a white mask.

His naked body was completely exposed to the air, unsparingly displaying its mighty and masculine charm.

Every muscle was carved like granite, not the flamboyant and bloated lumps of flesh on a bodybuilding stage.

Instead, they were super fiber bundles forged and compressed to the extreme after countless tempering, outlining explosive power lines.

On this body that could be called perfect, crisscrossing wounds were covered at this moment.

Some merely scratched the epidermis, while more were deep to the bone, and one could even see pale bone shards and writhing muscles.

Clearly, he had just experienced an unimaginable fierce battle.

Ordinary people carrying such heavy injuries would have already collapsed to the ground, but this man still stood straight.

That unhurried Aura instead made this bruised and battered body emit an even more astonishing sense of oppression.

Like a Vicious Beast in the darkness that had just finished hunting its prey and was preparing to feed.

Fang Cheng's gaze swept across the three people abruptly, and then fell upon the shriveled corpse on the ground.

"Minister Luo Lie died at your hands?"

"You are an executive of Noah?"

Hearing the other's questioning, the middle-aged man showed doubt, asked a counter-question, but immediately negated it himself.

"That's not right, there shouldn't be a character like you in the Noah Organization."

"Let me think... You must be that mysterious expert who specifically goes against the Noah Organization, right?"

He paused, seeming to have figured something out, and stared burning brightly at the newcomer.

"The person who defeated Minister Luo Lie is you!"

Fang Cheng neither denied it nor responded.

His sight swept across this bizarre flesh-and-blood lair, and finally fixed on that huge eyeball still throbbing.

His brow under the mask frowned slightly, vaguely feeling a noise buzzing by his ear.

Like countless flies flapping their wings, very noisy.

"I see."

The middle-aged man made a sudden realization pose, and then looked at Fang Cheng with relish, as if appreciating a rare treasure:

"Earlier outside the building, I took a distant look at the battle in the air between you and Minister Luo Lie. It was very wonderful, you could say no skills, all strength."

"No wonder, no wonder you could force the dignified Minister Luo into a desperate situation. Your body structure probably has already exceeded the category of human beings."

He clicked his tongue repeatedly, his tone peaceful.

Yet his gaze revealed a scalpel-like sharpness, as if wanting to see through Fang Cheng from inside to outside.

Fang Cheng ignored the other's comments.

The successive fierce battles, especially after blasting open the Inner World, and then moving with Minister Luo Lie to hundreds of meters high in the sky to carry out a life-or-death struggle, caused him a huge physical stamina consumption.

At this moment, every breath he took carried a hint of scorching heat, sweat uncontrollably seeping out from his pores and sliding down the ravines of his muscles.

Once the string-tightened body relaxed, the sense of fatigue struck uncontrollably, almost occupying his entire body and mind.

The load of this short battle tonight far exceeded any previous extreme training.

Fang Cheng breathed slightly.

Feeling the sweat stains and blood all over his body, with his soles stepping on the disgusting and greasy flesh carpet, his brow knitted again.

Minister Luo Lie was dead, the grudge was settled, and he had no intention of lingering here for long.

It was time to go home and take a satisfying bath...

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng withdrew his gaze and turned around to leave.

"Stop!"

At this moment, that young man suddenly shouted sharply.

Fang Cheng turned a deaf ear, his steps not pausing in the slightest.

The young man was angered by Fang Cheng's all-ignoring attitude, and immediately screamed:

"Second Uncle, we cannot let him go. He knows we killed Minister Luo Lie and took the crimson eye!"

A sharp glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and then he spoke:

"This friend, I'm afraid you cannot leave yet."

"You saw things you shouldn't have seen. To avoid some unnecessary trouble, please come with us back to the Xiao Family as a guest for a few days."

His words were still peaceful, but the threat contained within was self-evident.

"Want to fight?"

Fang Cheng abruptly stopped his steps and turned around.

The pair of crimson eyes behind the mask quietly gazed at the three opponents.

"Heh, quite a big tone."

The young man's heart jumped from being looked at by those eyes, as if targeted by a peerless Vicious Beast, but he still forced himself to put up a front:

"Second Uncle, don't talk nonsense with him. This fellow just finished fighting Minister Luo Lie, he must be at the end of his tether. Let's go together and take him down!"

The middle-aged man did not make a move immediately, his sharp gaze scanning back and forth over Fang Cheng.

After a moment, the corner of his mouth curved into a sneer:

"Little brother, do you think you can hide it from my eyes?"

"Your Qi and blood are fluctuating now, almost drying up, and the energy in your body is even scarcer. Forcing another fight will only hurt your Origin. How much strength can you still have?"

Saying this, he stepped forward.

An invisible Aura was released without reservation, instantly shrouding the entire flesh-and-blood lair like a tide.

Even those tentacles that were originally writhing hissed and curled up into balls one after another.

"Furthermore, what you are facing is an S-class expert like me."

"Even if I give you one hand, you won't be able to make any waves."

With some pride, the middle-aged man continued:

"Little brother, obediently surrender and make a blood oath to work for the Xiao Family from now on. I can call the shots to spare your life."

He had it all calculated out.

This masked man was able to defeat Minister Luo Lie; his strength was indeed very strong.

However, through previous observation, he also saw through the other's external strength and internal weakness, and his state was definitely not good.

Recalling that Minister Luo Lie had shouted out their identity just now, and he not only killed Minister Luo Lie but also stole the crimson eye.

If this matter spread outside, the Noah Organization would definitely come knocking.

Although the Xiao Family was not afraid, it would still cause a lot of trouble because of this.

Therefore, the middle-aged man had made up his mind to also conveniently get rid of this masked, unidentified fellow.

The young man and Xiao Ming signaled each other with their eyes, quietly walking to both sides to form a pincer movement.

Another S-class expert?

Hearing this, Fang Cheng's eyes behind the mask instead lit up.

Then he twisted his neck, making a series of crisp popping sounds.

"My luck is pretty good today, successive punching bags delivered to my door for me to practice boxing."

"Posturing!"

The middle-aged man sneered disdainfully.

However, the moment his voice fell,

the calmness in Fang Cheng's eyes had already been completely ignited by the scorching Battle Intent!

Hum—

An invisible energy storm erupted roar-like from within his body.

As if a dormant volcano erupted instantly, or like an extinguished furnace thrown with high-energy fuel, burning fiercely again.

The Aura that was slightly dim due to injuries and exhaustion unexpectedly became surging and soared into the sky at this moment.

All negative states such as fatigue and soreness generated by the battle were completely swept away.

On Fang Cheng's body surface, a layer of visible heat wave resembling red-gold flames even steamed up, scorching the flesh carpet he stepped on until it sizzled.

What?!

This astonishing change in front of them made the three people who originally held victory in their hands change color uniformly.

The confident smile on the middle-aged man's face instantly froze.

He could clearly feel that the opponent's Aura was extremely violent.

It seemed to have recovered to the Peak, and might even be a cut above.

Fang Cheng raised his head, those blazing eyes penetrating the mask and locking onto them fixedly.

"I have a second stage, what do you have?"
