His fist shattered the sunglasses, driving the fragments into the caved-in facial features, embedding them deep in the flesh and drawing copious blood.
"Even the blood of Danger Beasts can stir some desire in me, but all I can smell in the blood of scum like you is a foul stench..."
Lin Feng's punch flattened the gold-chain man's head, killing him on the spot.
The man collapsed, white brain matter slowly seeping from what could barely be called his head.
The lackeys surrounding him could no longer make a sound in their terror, and all prepared to flee toward the door.
"Form Transformation-"
At the sight, Lin Feng's body suddenly grew dark and dense, turning into a long, narrow shadow.
Almost within a single held breath, the shadow darted to the door. The crimson eyes within it looked down on this human refuse with contempt.
"You wanted to lay hands on my people, and you still thought you could get out alive?"
No longer capable of thinking about how to fight back, the thugs in the room thought only of escape.
A thug who was about to turn and run was caught by the shadow. Though formless, it possessed considerable weight.
The coils of shadow crushed his ribs, and the broken bones pierced his organs, making him vomit thick black blood.
The fat man with the thick, rounded neck who had reported to the gold-chain boss collapsed to the floor in terror, propping himself up on his hands as he scrambled backward.
The shadow pierced his neck like a spear, shattering even the rock beneath the floor.
A thug curled up and pretended to bite off his tongue to kill himself, begging Lin Feng to spare a dead man, but Lin Feng would not let a single one slip through.
The very next second after he pretended to fall, an immense pressure crushed all his internal organs.
The shadow returned to Lin Feng's form, and he stamped down hard on the coward trying to be clever. Another trace of coldness flashed through Lin Feng's eyes.
The thug standing motionless now had a wet crotch, dripping golden liquid.
An acrid stench rose from his groin, but his trembling legs could no longer move even half a step.
Some people were destined to be nothing but rotten fish and shrimp. Without their leader, they had no strength left to speak of.
Soon, Lin Feng seized him by the neck and lifted him high.
As Lin Feng exerted increasing force through his forearm, the sound of the man's windpipe bursting finally rang out.
Bang-
Almost every remaining thug could not withstand even a single kick or punch from Lin Feng.
This body, blessed by Alucard, the king of vampires, was normally used to hunt Danger Beasts and supply the restaurant with ingredients.
Lin Feng never used it to hurt others.
Yet today, killing these scum worse than beasts for the first time, Lin Feng felt none of the nausea or revulsion he had expected.
Instead, he felt an immense sense of relief.
The last isolated thug watched Lin Feng's demonlike figure and shook his head, struggling to remain calm.
He raised the ox-horn-shaped ornament around his neck to his lips and blew, sending out a long, shrill whistle.
In an instant, lights blazed. Beyond this small room resembling a banquet hall, the other rooms in the building suddenly lit up as well.
"Trying to win through numbers, are you..."
The members of the Gathered Heroes Group swarming in saw the gold-chain man's mangled corpse and the foul-smelling blood covering the floor.
Then they looked at Lin Feng's fair, clear, yet dark and icy face, and could not help shuddering.
"You think you can run after laying hands on our boss? Kill him!"
The order came from some unknown leader among this human refuse.
Lin Feng casually grabbed a thug by the collar and lifted him. Just as the thug was about to raise his dagger and swing at Lin Feng, Lin Feng's other hand had already caught his wrist.
Crack-
The sound of the bones in his wrist shattering gave Lin Feng particular pleasure.
Lin Feng hurled the thug forcefully into the floor. It burst apart instantly, and the steel reinforcement and stone beneath it were smashed to pieces along with his spine.
Under a coordinated attack by dozens of people at the Gathered Heroes Group's headquarters, Lin Feng remained completely unscathed, still watching the thugs coldly.

"He's not human... he's definitely not human..."
"Where are the guns you were issued? Just shoot him full of holes!"
Quite a few thugs expertly readied their machine guns, hefting them with effort. More than a dozen barrels pointed straight at the boy.
At this sight, the thugs could hardly conceal their petty, triumphant ecstasy.
"Fire!"
With machine-gun rounds tearing through one's body at such close range, no one could be saved.
Yet, unexpectedly, Lin Feng's expression did not change. Not a single twitch disturbed his cold face.
Ratatatatat-!!!!
Shell casings kept ejecting, and smoke, muzzle flashes, and dust mingled until it became difficult to see anything even in such a spacious room.
But Lin Feng had long since collapsed into a mass of shadow, roaming across the floor and disappearing from everyone's sight.
"See? We shot him dead, didn't we?"
The smug thug lowered his machine gun, his face filled with proud joy at the killing.
But the next second, that slender shadow pierced his windpipe.
Lin Feng flitted along the walls like a ghost, then ended his life as lightly as a dragonfly touching water.
Through half a minute of continuous gunfire, not a single bullet had grazed his skin.
Even if he had been hit, Alucard's vampiric power would have rapidly healed the wound.
The shadows gathered together, taking on Lin Feng's original form again.
"Didn't you want your boss? I'll give him back to you right now."
Scarlet blood-red light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes again.
"Level Zero: River of Death-"
After a burst of blood mist, not a single person dared attack Lin Feng again.
The thugs realized that their numbers gave them no advantage whatsoever!
The former fellow guards and the dagger-wielding puppet had disappeared, replaced by-
Their boss-the man wearing the gold chain-had actually risen from the dead and drawn a blade against his former brothers!
And the machine gunner who had fired at the boy had now come back to life as well, hefting his machine gun and spraying his own people with bullets!
In the blink of an eye, more than half the gang members were dead.
The dead members became this strange boy's servants. Though he had summoned relatively few people,
all the Gathered Heroes Group's finest equipment had thereby become part of his strength!
Their numerical advantage instantly lost all meaning!
The other gang members either fled or crouched where they were, trembling.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng was already waiting for them at the door.
In just a few minutes, the small building used for gatherings became a morgue wreathed in blood mist.
The gang members looked at Lin Feng in the doorway, sensing a chilling terror from his fair, clean face.
