Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Harvest (Thanks to the Sun and Moon in the Pot, Universe in the Sleeve. The Silver Alliance of the Boss!)

Carmela gazed stupidly as Zhong Shenxiu traded with Macy.

At the moment the transaction was complete, he suddenly struck.

"This person... has he gone mad? If he had already decided to rob, why would he hand over the scroll? No... Mad Mages are a bunch of lunatics beyond reasoning, after all!"

Thinking this, she suddenly felt even more pitiable for having fallen into the hands of a lunatic.

Carmela hugged herself weakly, cowering in a corner of the warehouse.

Macy subconsciously threw out the grimoire and immediately caught the ancient sheepskin scroll, the aura emanating from it confirming its authenticity.

The actions of the person opposite him were equally bewildering.

But at that time, protecting oneself could never be wrong.

His black robe fluttered without wind, like a thick shield guarding behind him, clearly a magical item.

However, after Zhong Shenxiu finished chanting the spell, nothing happened.

Macy stared dumbly at Zhong Shenxiu as he leisurely picked up the fragments of "The Whisper of the Worms" and the handwritten copy of "The Secret Tome of True Blood," suddenly becoming furious, "You madman!"

He had now understood that one could not reason with a madman.

But just then, he heard heavy breathing behind him.

His two subordinates suddenly roared, their heads splitting open and transforming into monsters, lunging at him in a frenzied attack.

This time Zhong Shenxiu’s Moduo Spell had manipulated their souls!

"Moduo!"

As the members of the Chasing Cup Sect began to fight amongst themselves, Zhong Shenxiu chanted the spell again.

After all, this was the only magic spell he had on hand.

Boom!

This time, the spell astonishingly transformed into a force akin to Spiritual Pressure.

The terrifying Spiritual Pressure immobilized most of the robed figures.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhong Shenxiu pulled out a revolver and began calling the roll.

Bang! Bang!

His expression calm, he headshot the robed figures one by one.

Only Golden Cup Macy let out an inhuman beastly roar, his body swelling rapidly, sprouting black fur, with lumps rising on both sides of his neck that suddenly turned into two vicious heads.

The heads, like that of a crocodile, snapped open their jaws and swallowed the two cultists controlled by Zhong Shenxiu.

Bang!

Zhong Shenxiu’s expression unchanged, he continued firing, hitting the creature’s chest and blasting open a shower of blood.

Under the Spiritual Pressure, its strength and speed were greatly limited, unable to escape the aim of the gun.

The human head in the middle of Macy gave Zhong Shenxiu, disguised in a black robe, a deep look, then suddenly smashed through a wall and chose to escape.

After all, the purpose of this encounter had been achieved; why stay and fight to the death with a very strong madman?

"Are they... all dead?"

Carmela stared dully at the scene, lucky not to be affected by the spell or hit by stray bullets.

At that moment, watching Zhong Shenxiu looting the spoils on top of a pile of corpses, a strong sense of unreality surged within her.

"That was Golden Cup Macy... an ’Ascendant’ who had crossed the Crimson River! And the followers of the Master of Black Blood not only practice the Nameless Technique, but also a Blood and Flesh Technique that can transform the flesh, like his, unaffected by direct gunshots... To force him into fleeing, this madman, this madman..."

She looked at Zhong Shenxiu, who was now looking her way, and almost pissed herself.

Madmen are not terrifying.

But a madman with formidable power... was just too damn scary!

"Alright, you can go now!"

Zhong Shenxiu waved her off, very satisfied with tonight’s haul.

Trading a possibly fake Holy Grail artifact for a vast amount of spiritual materials, a copy of the "Blood and Flesh Technique" manuscript, and the remaining pages of "Whispers of the Worm," I’d already made a killing.

By the way, I’d also managed to ditch a problem, passing it on to someone else.

"What did you say? You’re letting me go?"

Cadlyan exclaimed in surprise.

"What else? You planning on staying for New Year’s?"

Zhong Shenxiu said with a smile.

With my steadily increasing strength, I wasn’t afraid of getting a reputation anymore.

From today on, others would fear me!

And, given what I know about Cadlyan, she’d probably...

Without thinking twice, Cadlyan sprinted out of the warehouse and vanished without a trace, swearing in her heart never to return to this godforsaken place of Byron!

"I was going to say... I could give you something to remove the toxins... oh well, the effects of the Spirit Severance Cocktail will diminish eventually..."

Zhong Shenxiu pursed his lips and also disappeared without a trace.

It wasn’t until much later that a third-level investigator from the Special Affairs Bureau arrived, staring at the warehouse filled with corpses, his expression extremely grave.

...

Merlin Avenue No.25.

Jones, yawning, entered the gate and saw Zhong Shenxiu leisurely lying on a rattan chair sunbathing, with a black kitten perched beside him.

Next to him lay some newspapers and a few black pages.

The newspaper was the local "Byron Morning News," with the headline—’An explosion occurred at a factory last night; a city councillor of Robert City has already inspected the scene, once again declaring a strict revision of the safety inspection system for old factories...’

"Back, are you?"

Zhong Shenxiu put down the newspaper and asked casually.

"Yeah... our business is doing so well it’s almost over the top, why does the whole city depend on us for drinks?" Jones complained, but it was obvious that he was enjoying it.

"Carmela and Jennifer are also up, we can all have breakfast together later..."

Zhong Shenxiu picked up a few black remaining pages and started reading them in the sunlight.

Who says you have to study forbidden knowledge in the darkness of a secret chamber?

He felt that reading mysterious tomes while basking in the sun had a certain charm to it.

Jones glanced over and spotted an ancient manuscript: "Incomprehensible weird symbols? What’s this book?"

"The ’Blood and Flesh Technique,’ an ancient tome about how to mix wines..."

Zhong Shenxiu answered offhandedly while studying a few magic spells on the pages of "Whispers of the Worm."

Although these were just remnants, there was plenty of good stuff left on them, especially a few Blood Wine recipes that caught his eye.

Jones felt something was off; those pitch-black writings seemed to stir up some desires within him.

He felt his throat constrict, acid bubbling up in his stomach.

He thought of the red beef, the sweet wine... Ah, that wine as red and blissfully sweet as fresh blood...

’What’s wrong with me?’

Jones was startled.

Suddenly, he saw Li Wei pick up the book and gave him a puzzled look: "What are you waiting for, thinking about what to eat for breakfast?"

"Yes, that’s right!"

Jones replied quickly, hesitantly.

But then he thought it might really just be because he was so hungry; should he have an extra-meal today? Wine and bacon would be nice...

Thinking so, he walked into the hall.
