Chapter 349: Chapter 242: Tier Twenty-Eight Saint Mutated Creature: The Shadowy Abyss Tongue Demon
Under their baggy jackets, they wore bulletproof vests and concealed real firearms. Of course, Li Xiang wasn’t wearing one, nor did he need a gun.
"Pay the line!" a stunning, curvaceous dealer in a revealing outfit shouted. Her voice had impressive Penetration Power, allowing everyone to hear her clearly even in the noisy environment. It was a real waste she wasn’t a singer.
The sexy dealer’s colorful, vibrant nails traced a dazzling path above the pot. The moment the mountain of chips collapsed, nearly every gambler’s pulse quickened.
"Shit!" a wealthy lady in a mermaid gown, reeking of expensive perfume, cursed in frustration. She had already lost all her chips. However, refusing to admit defeat, she gritted her teeth, took off her Ruby earrings, and bet them on black 36.
Li Xiang shook his head, leading the group through the dazzling, decadent venue. As they passed the rows of slot machines, Luo Feifei suddenly gave him a light tug. "There’s the target."
"Hm?"
Li Xiang showed no reaction. He casually approached a nearby blackjack table, pretending to watch the game while stealing glances at the slot machines out of the corner of his eye.
The others immediately became alert, circulating the Spiritual Power in their bodies, ready to move at a moment’s notice.
None of them had expected to run into their target right after walking into this particular casino, the Eternal Night Gambling City. It must be fate.
’Or perhaps enemies are simply bound to cross paths? A confrontation waiting to happen?’
"That huge guy over there is the one," Luo Feifei whispered, leaning close to Li Xiang’s ear. Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui felt a twinge of jealousy, but knowing they couldn’t compete with Luo Feifei, they could only pout slightly.
As an onlooker, Zhang Youyou found the scene rather amusing. ’Brother Xiang really has a way with women,’ she thought. ’So many beauties have fallen for him. Hmm, if Xu Xuan and I weren’t childhood sweethearts from families who have been friends for generations, if I had met Li Xiang first... I probably would have fallen for him too.’
’But now, with her and Xu Xuan practicing Dual Cultivation, their life together is incredibly harmonious. Their bond has been growing since they were children, so her heart would never stray.’
’Only someone who had actually practiced the Dual Cultivation Technique Li Xiang taught them could understand its profound mysteries.’
’That feeling of becoming one, of being completely consumed by each other, as if even your genes were merging... The feeling that you could never be apart for a lifetime... It’s impossible to explain to an outsider.’
’The big guy?’ Li Xiang had noticed him. About ten-odd meters away, an enormous man was hammering the spin button at a rate of 120 times per minute, having the time of his life.
’The Exotic Beast is inside his body?’
The man was enormous, with a potbelly so large he looked pregnant. He was normally around three or four hundred pounds, but now he seemed even bigger.
An acquaintance came over to greet the large man. "Hey, buddy, you seem quicker than before. How are your hands moving so fast?"
The big man ignored him, just continuing to hammer away at the slot machine. The acquaintance had no idea that, at that very moment, the man was devouring surges of electricity from the machine.
The acquaintance was up to no good. Seeing that the large man was ignoring him, he let out a laugh and suddenly tried to trip him. He probably wanted to see him fall flat on his face and make a fool of him, since a man that size would have a hard time getting back up.
But this time, he’d messed with the wrong person. The big man didn’t even budge. Then, he slowly turned and shot the man a cold glance.
The big man’s eyes were unnaturally cold, seemingly devoid of any human emotion. The acquaintance jumped in fright and scrambled to back away, wanting to flee, but it was too late. The man reached out, grabbed his collar, and started dragging him toward a room in the back.
"Let go of me! Let go of me, you bastard!"
The people nearby were absorbed in their own games; no one paid any attention, or perhaps no one even noticed. And those who did notice figured it was none of their business and couldn’t be bothered.
"Quick, follow them," Li Xiang said, taking the lead. He strode swiftly through the rows of slot machines toward the back room door.
The moment he reached the door, a notification from the system appeared in his mind: "Tier Twenty-Eight Saint Mutated Creature detected: Shadowy Abyss Tongue Demon."
