Hu Guang's words left many of the guests frowning deeply. Though the Moon Jade Realm cultivators invited here came from different races, eating people was truly something they had never tried.
Even the Moon Jade Realm cultivator who had spoken earlier and eagerly anticipated the Blood Food Sacrifice now looked troubled.
If Purple Jade Island had presented a spirit beast, he would certainly have devoured it with relish. But what they had brought out was actually a Moon Jade Realm Human Race cultivator!
Just as Lu Ye had never used the Talent Tree's power to refine the energy within other cultivators—not because he could not, but because he felt an instinctive psychological revulsion toward it.
The lively atmosphere suddenly fell flat.
Seeing this, Hu Guang smiled faintly. "What is this? You can eat spirit beasts, but not anything else? To be frank with you all, on our Purple Jade Demon Star, only a Blood Food Sacrifice of this quality can be considered a true Blood Food Sacrifice. Those previous ones did not count at all. Please trust Hu—today, you will surely have an unforgettable experience for the rest of your lives."
As he spoke, he turned toward Lionheart. "Senior Brother."
Lionheart remained seated, only giving a slight nod. "Begin!"
"Yes!" Hu Guang answered, then strode toward the bamboo bed. In just a few steps, he stopped before it. With a flick of his wrist, he produced a slender dagger, speaking as he did so. "Rest assured, everyone. Hu's knife skills are not bad. I will certainly let you taste the freshest Blood Food. Before today's banquet ends, the Blood Food will not die."
The dagger swung down, poised to stab.
At that moment, a wine cup suddenly flew out, shooting toward Hu Guang and blocking the path of his dagger.
