Chapter 263 The Culinary God Establishes His Authority, the Master of Teppanyaki
Shennongjia, deep in the valley.
The captain and several members of the Dragon Fang Special Forces were huddled behind a large tree, their limbs trembling, barely daring to breathe. They only dared to peek out half their heads to watch what was happening in the open space not far away.
Their worldview has been completely overturned today by that "cook" named He Yuzhu.
A bonfire had already been lit in the center of the open space.
A huge cooking pot, which I don't know where it came from, was placed on the fire.
There was no water in the pot, only a thin layer of sizzling oil.
The master of internal energy named Hans was now lying by the pot, his shirt stripped off, his hands and feet bound by some unknown vine, like a dead dog.
His face was completely drained of color, and his eyes were filled with an extreme, almost overflowing fear.
"No...don't kill me...please...don't kill me..." he pleaded weakly.
He would rather be shot dead than be used as food and "cooked" alive.
He Yuzhu completely ignored his pleas.
He was squatting on the ground, slowly processing some mushrooms and wild vegetables he had just picked from the forest with the cleaver that had knocked Hans over.
His knife skills were exceptional.
With a flash of light, the wild vegetables and mushrooms in his hands were transformed into "works of art" that were as thin as cicada wings, with each piece perfectly uniform in size, shape, and thickness.
The dozen or so "Hellhound" mercenaries whose tendons he had crippled were herded aside like ducks and ordered to gather firewood.
These ruthless criminals, who usually kill without blinking an eye, were now more obedient than the most well-behaved elementary school students.
They dragged their crippled bodies, scrambling and crawling through the woods, gathering anything that could be burned, their faces filled with fawning and ingratiating smiles.
They were afraid that if they were too slow, they would be the next one thrown into the pot.
"Um...senpai..."
Captain Dragon Fang stared at the bizarre scene, feeling his mind reeling. He mustered all the courage he had ever known, stepped out from behind the tree, and asked tremblingly.
"You...you really want to..."
He simply couldn't bring himself to say the words "cannibalism".
He Yuzhu looked up at him, smiled憨厚ly, and said, "What are you thinking? I'm a proper chef, why would I do something like that?"
Upon hearing this, Captain Longya and his team members all breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, although this guy's methods are bizarre, at least his values are still sound.
However, He Yuzhu's next words made them jump back into their throats.
"I just... cooked him a 'dish'."
He Yuzhu stood up, wrapped the chopped wild vegetables and mushrooms in a large leaf, and set it aside.
Then, he picked up the kitchen knife and walked up to Hans.
Hans was so frightened that he trembled violently, and a foul odor emanated from his crotch.
This master of internal energy, who was infamous in the international underworld, was actually scared to death.
"Tsk tsk, the quality of the ingredients has dropped again." He Yuzhu shook his head in disgust.
He reached out and patted, hit, pressed, or rubbed Hans's body.
His movements looked completely haphazard, like he was giving a massage to a piece of pork.
But Captain Longya's eyelids twitched as he watched.
Because he discovered that every pat He Yuzhu made landed precisely on Hans's major acupoints and meridian nodes!
Moreover, each slap carries a strange vibration.
That shockwave penetrated through the skin and muscles, directly affecting Hans's internal organs and meridians!
Hans couldn't make a sound; his body trembled like a leaf.
He felt that the internal energy in his body was being forcibly "slapped" out of his dantian by an irresistible force!
The internal energy he had painstakingly cultivated for decades, more precious than gold, was flowing uncontrollably through his meridians to his limbs and bones!
Then, it seeped out little by little from every pore on his body!
Soon, a layer of greasy, foul-smelling black substance appeared on Hans's skin.
After He Yuzhu finished doing all this, he clapped his hands, then grabbed Hans's foot and threw him into the large pot next to him, which was already boiling hot, like throwing away trash!
"Sizzle—!"
A sound like roasting meat echoed through the valley.
An indescribable, acrid smell of burning permeated the air.
"ah--!"
Hans finally let out a scream that sounded inhuman.
He felt like a steak being thrown onto a hot plate and being cooked alive!
Upon witnessing this scene, the members of Longya felt their stomachs churn, and several of the younger members immediately leaned against trees and vomited.
That's so cruel!
This is a million times more cruel than killing him outright!
Strangely, although Hans was screaming in pain, there were no burn marks on his body.
The red-hot iron pot seemed to be "roasting" him without harming his flesh.
He Yuzhu ignored Hans's screams from inside the pot.
He picked up the wild vegetables and mushrooms he had just chopped, as well as the pansy leaf he had "borrowed" from Dr. Li, and walked to the pot.
He carefully and evenly spread the wild vegetables and mushrooms over Hans's body, piece by piece.
Then, he carefully placed the pansy leaf on Hans's forehead.
After doing all this, he stepped back like a chef, looking at his "creation" with satisfaction.
"Hmm, a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables. Then use the spiritual energy of the seven-colored violet to neutralize the malevolence and impurities in his body..."
"This dish is called 'Sizzling Master with Seasonal Vegetables'."
"It's almost done."
He muttered to himself, and then, with a swift motion, struck out with his palm towards Hans in the pot!
"Take it off the heat!"
A gentle force lifted Hans from the pot, along with the wild vegetables and mushrooms on his body, and landed him flat on the open ground beside him.
Hans stopped screaming.
His eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and his body convulsed, but he was still alive.
However, Captain Longya could clearly sense that the powerful and terrifying aura belonging to a Grandmaster of Internal Energy had completely vanished without a trace.
Right now, he's just an ordinary person whose body is slightly stronger than the average person's...
His decades of arduous cultivation and astonishing level of skill were simply "fried" away by He Yuzhu with a single pot!
The wild vegetables and mushrooms spread over him were now emitting a strange fragrance.
Those mushrooms, having absorbed the "internal energy essence" forced out of Hans's body, became crystal clear, as if they had become some kind of rare and precious treasure.
He Yuzhu stepped forward, picked up a piece of mushroom, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
"Hmm...it tastes alright."
He nodded, then looked at the "Hellhound" mercenaries beside him who were already terrified.
"Don't just stand there, come here, dinner's ready."
The mercenaries looked at Hans on the ground, then at the mushrooms in He Yuzhu's hand, and were so frightened that they retreated one after another, shaking their heads like rattles.
Are you kidding me!
Eat this?
This is fucking tantamount to cannibalism!
"What? I'm treating, and you're not giving me face?" He Yuzhu's face darkened.
An invisible pressure weighed on the hearts of all the mercenaries.
They knew that today, they had no choice but to eat this "meal"!
A daring mercenary stepped forward tremblingly, picked up the smallest mushroom from Hans's body, closed his eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth as if he were eating poison.
The next second, he was stunned.
A warm current instantly spread from his abdomen to his limbs and bones.
He felt that his injuries were healing rapidly! The severed tendons in his hands and feet were reconnecting at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"This...this is..." He stared at his hands in shock.
The other mercenaries also realized what was happening.
This is hardly poison.
This is clearly a miracle drug!
In an instant, everyone went crazy!
They rushed forward, scrambling to grab the "side dishes" off Hans.
The scene was quite chaotic at one point.
The Dragon Fang team members watched as these enemies, who were fighting to the death just a second ago, were now fighting tooth and nail over a few mushrooms. They felt their values being crushed and repeatedly rubbed into the ground once again.
He Yuzhu ignored the group of mercenaries who were frantically grabbing the goods.
He walked up to Captain Longya and handed him the last piece of the most translucent-looking mushroom.
"Try it? It's very nourishing."
Captain Dragon Fang looked at the patch of mushrooms, then at Hans, who was still convulsing on the ground, his facial muscles twitching wildly.
He was torn between his conscience and his inner turmoil.
Reason told him that this thing was absolutely not to be eaten!
But the body's instincts were screaming wildly, wanting to taste that tempting aroma.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
"Thank you... thank you, senior!"
He took the mushroom and, with a death wish, stuffed it into his mouth.
