Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

158 The Origin of the New City Lord

Looking at this big muscular man built like an iron mountain in front of him, emitting a powerful aura from his body, a look of astonishment flashed across this Advance Martial Master’s eyes.

He lit another cigarette and took a deep drag. Then he pointed at the corpse outside the door, and said, “Yo, you wanna be a hero? See that woman there? That’s what’s going to happen to you!”

More than ten gangsters, with fierce and vicious demeanors, rushed over and whipped out the sharp knives in their hands. These were all F-class weapons, and these gangsters were all cultivators too.

Among them, the lowest level was a Grade 7 Martial Arts Warrior, and the highest a Grade 2 Martial Master!

Li Tieniu grunted angrily and took one aggressive step forward. The iron pillar-like big leg swept out ruthlessly. With this simple sweep, these gangsters were sent sprawling like bowling pins, howling endlessly along the way.

The Advance Martial Master’s expression suddenly changed. Without another word, he immediately circulated his true energy. He drew out a long sword from his interspatial ring. The sword emitted a chilling sword wail, and stabbed diagonally outward with a sharp, keen aura.

Pow! Li Tieniu’s palm slapped out. A faint layer of golden light emerged from his palm, and then his whole arm was plated with golden hue, just like a layer of gold. With one clap of his palm, he broke that long sword.

Following that, he grabbed the Advance Martial Master up easily, like picking up a small chick.

The Advance Martial Master panicked and yelled, “A Great Martial Master! You’re a Great Martial Master!”

Realizing that he had antagonized a Great Martial Master, the Advance Martial Master’s forehead broke out in cold sweat. However, he calmed down in the next second and spoke up, “Honorable Mr. Great Martial Master, please spare my life. I am only carrying out the orders of another Grand Master.”

When he made this statement, all those people who just arrived gasped. So there was a Grand Master backing this Martial Master.

On the surface, these words seemed to be begging for mercy, but in reality they were threatening and warning Li Tieniu.

Li Tieniu slapped his palm straightaway on his head and blood flowed out once. “Dammit! You think you can scare me? When I’m in the military zone, I am good friends with Great Grand Masters, not to mention a mere Grand Master.”

The Advance Martial Master who was beginning to get confident, was dumbfounded immediately. Following that, his legs began shaking.

Damn! He had messed with a military zone’s Great Martial Master. This time, the backer behind him was completely useless.

Moreover, this Great Martial Master of the military zone was so respectful to a youngster who appeared to be only 17 or 18 years old. Could it be that this youngster was of a higher rank than the Great Martial Master in the military zone?

Looking at Lu Yu in front of him, the Advance Martial Master did not dare to think further. Lu Yu instructed Qin Yong to close the door of the ward. He then walked over step by step and said with an ambiguous expression, “Based on what you just said, all those who know me will have bad fortune, is it?”

“You… you! You! You!” All of a sudden, the Advance Martial Master felt as if his body was struck by lightning and his whole body trembled. “You are Lu Yu? Impossible! How is it that you are still alive?”

Lu Yu first helped Zhang Wu up and circulated the Emerald Emperor’s Method to help him heal his wounds. Then he checked all of Zhang Hong’s injuries, and found that he was lucky enough to avoid serious injuries. He then breathed a sigh of relief. “Speak. Tell me honestly everything you know.”

With a thud, the Advance Martial Master fell to his knees. He dared not conceal anything and confessed everything he knew.

The newly appointed acting city lord was called Hou Tianlai, a cultivator at the peak-level of the Grand Master realm. According to what he heard, he was an office-bearer in politics from the Ying family’s lineage. With the Ying family’s support, he had held the position of city lord in several cities.

Hearing this, realization also dawned on Lu Yu, and he understood why this guy Hou Tianlai was trying to drive people who knew Lu Yu to extinction.

The Advance Martial Master was naturally not qualified to meet Hou Tianlai. All the instructions were issued through Hou Tianlai’s trusted aide, an Advance Great Martial Master.

“Send a message to Hou Tianlai’s trusted aide immediately. You should know what to say.” Lu Yu said in an icy tone as he took care of Zhang Hong.

This Advance Martial Master sent a message with his cell phone in trepidation. Moments later, he indicated that Hou Tianlai’s trusted aide had received the message.

Lu Yu waited quietly. Finally, after an hour, with a light scattering of falling leaves as a strong gust of wind blew outside the hospital building, that Hou Tianlai’s trusted aide arrived!

Through the window, Lu Yu could see the figure of a slightly obese middle-aged man standing under a dim streetlight. He was using his hand to hold down his baseball cap, doing his best to cover his face.

Lu Yu shot a look at the Advance Martial Master, who then typed out on his cell phone with trembling fingers, “I’m coming.”

There was no reply on the screen. However, the figure under the streetlamp suddenly moved his feet and left rapidly. A few seconds later, he leaped up and became an afterimage as his shadow flashed by swiftly.

Had they been discovered?

“This guy is really cautious, Captain Lu. Let me go after him!” Li Tieniu jumped down directly from the fourth floor and landed steadily under Lu Yu’s amazed gaze. Then with his right foot, he propelled himself forward like a coiled spring shooting out.

Song Yu and Qin Yong stared with wide-eyed astonishment. They did not realize that this brawny guy was so agile and nimble in his movements.

About half an hour had passed. As the Emerald Emperor’s Method circulated, Zhang Hong slowly woke up. When he first opened his eyes and saw Lu Yu, he uttered, “Lu Yu, run…”

Lu Yu comforted his old war comrade and said with a laugh, “Don’t worry. I’m now the Advisor to the Gamma Military Zone. No one can touch me.”

The grandfather and grandson duo, Zhang Hong and Zhang Wu couldn’t quite digest the information and their jaws dropped. Lu Yu had just returned, yet he had somehow catapulted to the position of Advisor to the military zone?

At the same time, a bloodthirsty gust of wind blasted over.

Li Tieniu’s big, brawny man-like figure appeared in the ward. He was carrying a middle-aged man with a gloomy face in his hand.

As soon as he came in, he opened his mouth and laughed. “Hahaha… Lu Yu, this rascal’s strength is nothing much, but his skill in escaping is quite strong. He nearly slipped from my fingers. I had to spend a lot of effort to capture him back.”

Lu Yu said nonchalantly, “I will take note that you have made a big contribution.”

“Great!” Li Tieniu flung that middle-aged man to the ground in one swing.

The middle-aged man then looked up at Lu Yu, shocked beyond belief after seeing his face clearly. Obviously, he did not expect that Lu Yu was still alive. Then, turning his head to look at the Advance Martial Master, he cursed angrily, “You despicable fellow! How dare you betray me!”

That Advance Martial Master hung his head low, and dared not meet the middle-aged man’s eyes.

“Speak. What is your name, and what is your purpose?” Lu Yu asked in an icy tone. He didn’t believe that a political office-bearer from the Ying family’s lineage was transferred to Lunan City just to take over the position of the city lord.

This middle-aged man was also very plucky. He said stubbornly, “I, Liu Bo, fell into your hands because of my bad luck. My life is at your disposal.”

Li Tieniu became angry at once. He kicked him to the ground, and then added a few more kicks, cursing while doing so. “Godammit! You are so stubborn. And here I thought you were some kind of character with a positive image?”

Liu Bo, who had no way to retaliate, could only stare at Li Tieniu with a pair of sinister eyes. Glaring fixedly at Li Tieniu, “Don’t let me leave alive, or you’re dead!”
