Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Absorb
"Zhu Zi! Let’s go home!"
After struggling several times and spitting up a few mouthfuls of blood, Mad Dog Egg managed to force a painful smile as he staggered to his feet and spoke to the other young beggar.
Tears streamed from the other young beggar’s eyes. She nodded slightly and, gritting her teeth, supported Mad Dog Egg as they stumbled step by step to a dilapidated temple in the west of the city.
The moment Mad Dog Egg returned to the temple, the last of his strength gave out. His body trembled, and without a word, he collapsed to the ground.
Zhu Zi, her face a mask of panic, pulled half a stale, sour-smelling steamed bun from her clothes. She tore it into small strips and tried to feed them into Mad Dog Egg’s mouth.
That half of a sour bun was the only thing Mad Dog Egg and Zhu Zi had managed to beg for all day; it was their entire meal. For beggars like them, food was the only life-saving medicine.
Mad Dog Egg’s face was flushed, and he coughed up blood. He couldn’t swallow the strips of sour bun at all, his body just convulsed and struggled.
Zhu Zi sobbed uncontrollably beside him, not knowing what to do.
’So this is my other self in this world!’
A faint ripple shimmered in the air as Shu Feng took a step forward, appearing beside Mad Dog Egg. He looked at his other self, who was on the verge of death, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.
Zhu Zi, who was right beside them, didn’t see Shu Feng at all.
’Let’s see what wishes you have. Then, you will become a part of me!’
Shu Feng activated his Holy Soul and deployed a Secret Technique. Spreading his five fingers, he pressed his hand onto Mad Dog Egg’s head.
A bizarre scene unfolded. Mad Dog Egg’s body trembled slightly, then transformed into a crimson ray of light that merged into Shu Feng’s body.
Countless pieces of information flooded Shu Feng’s mind.
’I have to protect Zhu Zi!’
’I have to kill Black Tiger!!’
’I want to become a True Disciple of the Bi Yao Demon Sect!’
’I want to win over Yuan Xian’Er!’
’I want to become a Martial Saint!!’
Five desires echoed in Shu Feng’s mind as Mad Dog Egg’s memories flooded into him. Mad Dog Egg’s real name was Han Feng, and he had been a young beggar for as long as he could remember. He and Zhu Zi had always followed an old beggar.
After the old beggar died, only he and Zhu Zi were left to fend for themselves. Zhu Zi was a mute little girl, small and weak, so Mad Dog Egg had always been the one to protect her.
However, the few times Mad Dog Egg was badly beaten, it was Zhu Zi who did everything in her power to save him. They depended on each other, and in his heart, Zhu Zi came first, before anyone else.
Shu Feng could feel an extra piece of soul within his own Holy Soul. It was drawn to his Holy Soul, yet it was also somewhat incompatible.
Shu Feng made a promise in his heart, ’These five wishes are no problem at all! I will fulfill every one of them. So, merge with me. Become a part of me!!’
But the piece of soul showed no change, showing no intention of merging with Shu Feng’s soul.
’In this situation, I can either forcibly crush Mad Dog Egg’s soul or fulfill his wishes and let his soul merge with mine voluntarily. Forcibly crushing it won’t yield the best results!’
Shu Feng seemed lost in thought. His body flickered, and in an instant, he transformed into Mad Dog Egg’s likeness and lay on the ground.
Ever since Shu Feng used the Secret Technique to absorb Mad Dog Egg’s soul, he could switch freely between Mad Dog Egg’s form and his own. This was the terrifying power of such a precious Secret Technique.
Among the Blue Star Human Clan, the reason many of the top human experts betrayed their own race at the most critical moments was that they had secretly become Void Demons on the inside.
After transforming into Mad Dog Egg, Shu Feng opened his eyes. This startled Zhu Zi, who then threw herself into his arms and began to wail.
A sour, rancid smell wafted from Zhu Zi’s body, almost overwhelming Shu Feng.
"Zhu Zi! I have to go out for a bit. Stay here and don’t wander off. This person will protect you!"
Shu Feng snapped his fingers. A faint ripple shimmered, and Rabbitman Luna immediately appeared before him.
Zhu Zi stared at Rabbitman Luna, a look of awe in her eyes. Rabbitman Luna was definitely one of the most beautiful women she had ever seen.
"Greetings, Master!"
Rabbitman Luna gave Shu Feng a bewitching smile.
Shu Feng said coolly, "You will protect her. If anyone tries to harm her, kill them all!"
Luna possessed a Spirit Venerable Realm Level cultivation, though she was heavily suppressed in this world. However, she was a Divine Creature and had recovered 40% of her physical attributes and various abilities. Even an expert at the Great Martial Master Level would not necessarily be her match.
Han Feng’s enemies were just thugs like Black Tiger, who wasn’t even a Martial Disciple. They were no match for Luna at all.
Luna replied respectfully, "Yes, Master!"
Shu Feng stepped into the darkness and vanished.
In a secluded courtyard in the west of Liuguang City, Black Tiger and a dozen able-bodied beggars were feasting on meat and guzzling wine.
Huddled in a corner of the courtyard were several dozen disabled children with broken hands and feet.
These disabled children had all been abducted by Black Tiger and his dozen adult beggars to serve as their money-making tools. They were the ones who had crippled the children, simply because disabled children elicited more pity and could beg for more money.
A tall beggar with yellow teeth said, "Boss, how about we go grab a woman and have some fun? The brothers haven’t had a piece of meat in days!"
Expectant gazes fell upon Black Tiger. It wasn’t the first or second time these beggars had abducted women for their pleasure. Each time, after they’d had their fun, they would kill the woman and dump her body in the wilderness.
Black Tiger shook his head. "No! There haven’t been any outsider women around lately! Going after the local women is too risky. If you want a woman, go find one of those prostitutes. Don’t cause trouble for me."
The locals mostly have connections. If you kill one, it’ll alert the authorities. But those women from out of town have no family or friends. If you kill one and toss the body in a mass grave, no one will investigate.
Black Tiger was extremely cautious, which was how he had managed to become the beggar chief of Liuguang City and even buy a small courtyard.
"Black Tiger, you really are cautious! A pity, then, that today is the day you die!"
An icy voice sounded from the side as a young man walked straight out of the shadows, watching Black Tiger with an indifferent gaze.
"Mad Dog Egg, it’s you! I was merciful enough to spare your life, yet you dare to come looking for me here. You’re courting death! Get him!"
There had been too many people on the street earlier, which was the only reason Black Tiger hadn’t beaten Han Feng to death. Now that this nobody dared to cause trouble for him, he naturally had to get rid of him to make an example of him and establish his own authority.
