Chapter 376 375: Disappearing Blood Lust

Name:The Human Giant Author:


Compared to the amount of fear that filled the mayor's heart, the pain from losing his finger was nothing. If he couldn't perform well, he wouldn't only lose his fingers.

"Good that you know your place. Now, where was I?" The young man sneered as he looked at the terrified mayor.

Playing with the bloody finger, the young man threw it into his mouth, chewing it until he swallowed the bloody mush of flesh and bones. The disgusting sight instantly caused the mayor to grab his mouth tightly with his hand to hold back from vomiting.

Seeing the mayor's almost frail appearance, the young man simply shook his head with disappointment. When he had accepted this mission from the sect missions list, he had thought the targets would be more exciting.

At least there would be someone capable of putting up a decent challenge. Even if there was no peak Blood Master present, he had hoped to take the heads of at least three Blood Masters tonight. Now, he would barely be satisfied by slaughtering the entire town in the process.

"Master said that those witches have predicted that there would be a good challenge for me to ascend to the next level. So far, there doesn't seem to be anyone worthy of even cleaning my boots."

"If I can't find a worthy opponent to eat, then there is only one other way to spread my name."

"Reverend, there might be another who might be to your fancy?" The mayor said as he felt his heart tighten as he could see the growing blood lust in the young man's cold black eyes.

"Oh, who could that be? I just completed my investigation a few days ago, so how could there be anyone of my interest? But do go on.."

"Two people arrived at Jelly Town the day you left Jelly Town. They are a pair of scholars who claim to be Super Scholars!"

"Super Scholar? What the hell is that!? I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing; did a child think of the name." The young man from the Blood Sect raised his thin eyebrows as he listened to the mayor hastily explain.

"Reverend, the name might be poor, but rumors have spread that they are excellent martial artists. And there is a scholar named Yoze who is said to be a peak Blood Master."

"A peak Blood Master, that is barely enough to grab my attention. What sect is he from?"

"I am not completely sure, but from the rumors, he is from a sect called the School of Eternal Knowledge. They focus on training scholars to become powerful martial artists and a new type of martial art called Martial Formations."

Just as the mayor finished his last sentence, he felt two cold hands grip his throat as an intense blood lust penetrated his mental barrier. Completely terrified, the mayor saw his life flash before his eyes.

"Mommy..."

"Did you say Martial Formation!? Answer now before I cut off your family jewels!"

Hearing the young man's cold voice snapped the mayor's mind back to reality, and he hastily answered, not knowing why the young man suddenly changed.

"Yes, yes! The rumors said Martial Formations. There aren't many details about this type of martial art. Is there something important about it?"

"I don't know...but I can feel my instincts telling me if I can get that technique, I can even eat the Sect Master." The young man mumbled before his eyes flashed a dark red color, and the scent of blood filled the room.

Before the mayor could react, his entire body burst into a cloud of blood mist that was absorbed into the young man's body, leaving only the tattered pieces of the mayor's clothes as a reminder that he was here. After finishing his meal, the young man turned his gaze toward Jelly Town before disappearing without a trace.

...

"Suzanne, are you okay?" Gilan asked with concern as she noticed that Suzanne had suddenly frozen, her face pale.

"Nothing, I just thought I saw a spider." Suzanne shook her head to Gilan's concern.

She couldn't tell her that she felt a cold and intense blood lust aimed directly at her neck before suddenly disappearing without a trace. From the mere intensity of that blood lust, the enemy that wanted her dead was far above her realm and possibly even practiced multiple body cultivation methods.

She couldn't defeat this person even if she gave it her all, and even consuming those Blood Pills that Yoze had given her a few days ago wouldn't help.

"If you want, I can call a doctor to check you. You might have a sickness that makes you hallucinate since spiders can't enter the town hall." Gilan said as she touched Suzanne's forehead to see if she had a fever.

"Really, I'm fine. Let's just deliver this bag of herbs to Scholar Yoze and Scholar Evi." Suzanne once again shook off Gilan's concern and continued to deliver what she needed to do.

The earlier she finished this delivery, the sooner she could return to staying beside Mr. Light's side and protecting him. From the disappearing blood lust, she knew an assassin was planning on taking action soon.

"Evi, your punches are too focused on hitting with as much power as possible and not enough on landing on your opponent. If you can't land a hit, then the entire Spiral Twin Fists is useless."

As soon as Suzanne and Gilan walked outside the town hall's main doors, they were immediately hit by the cold air as winter approached. If it wasn't for the fact that they needed to deliver these two bags of herbs and pastes to Yoze, they wouldn't have bothered stepping outside at all.

Seeing that even in this cold weather, Yoze and Evi were still not wearing shirts surprised Gilan as she didn't understand their madness. As for Suzanne, she didn't want to think of this as strange since it was quite common for martial artists to train in cold environments as it helped condition their bodies.
