NOVEL WEB Chapter 479: Your Life is Mine
"So you're the little brat who we're meant to teach a lesson to?" Gon Hulio scoffed loudly, making sure that everyone could hear him. "What a tiny thing you are. Just one punch would be overkill!"
"Boss, boss, this boy is just my type." A disgusting 3rd Layer Qi Condensation man gingerly licked his blade. "Can I…? Hehe~"
"Do whatever you want, but only after we're done."
"Understood, Boss!" The disgusting man looked expectant, giving off extremely creepy vibes.
"Do you know who I am??" Su Yu lashed out verbally, annoyed partly because her fun time with Necro was so rudely interrupted. "Where do you get off thinking you can do anything to my friend!?"
The Underworld Boss jeered. "Your friend? Ha! Little Miss, you're a daughter of the Blue Legion Family; he doesn't deserve to be anything more than your slave!"
"Why don't you just move out of the way and let us do our job?" he added with obvious disregard.
"You…!" Su Yu was fuming, but at the same time, she was worried about how their hurtful words would affect Necro.
However, contrary to her worries, he was totally unaffected. In fact, his expression was so coldly detached right now that you could freeze a liquid over it.
"So, little brat, tell us right now how you wish to be beat!" Gon Hulio laughed wickedly as he and his gangs of goonies neared Necro and Su Yu. "Would you like to have your face pummeled in here, or would you like to have it done elsewhere? Up to you!"
Necro shifted his icy glare between the dozens of cultivators staring him down with ill intent. Not a single one of them was below the Marrow Refinement Realm, with nearly a dozen among them well into the Qi Condensation Realm.
"That brat is a goner for sure!" Han Tianfeng quietly celebrated as he watched the events before him unfold with focused intent. "The only bad thing is that I can't be over there myself to witness the brat squirm, lest I acquire the ire of my little cousin. Plus, my 'be the hero and save the day' plan hinges on me showing up at the last possible second."
Just then, a defensively girly voice rang out, belonging to Su Yu:
"Don't you dare come any closer to Necro!" she threatened while standing in front of him, causing most of the Underworld members to pause in apprehension. "If you do, I swear I'll—"
"You won't do anything, girly!" replied a large bulky man who used a heavy hand to shove Su Yu out of the way. "Now be a good girl and stay out of our way!"
*Bang!*
Su Yu was knocked into a stack of boxes. And though the 5th Layer Qi Condensation Realm man that pushed her held back a lot, she still wound up with a purple bruising on her right shoulder.
Necro's multi-colored eyes flashed with a deadly gleam. He looked up at the large man standing over him with a protruding gut. Necro's crazy amount of killing intent surged.
The large man was initially surprised, but after remembering the insignificance of the boy he was facing, he angrily punched out.
"You dare play tricks on me, you bratty Viscera Refinement Realm brat!?" he roared. "Just die!!"
"No, Feng Yunxia, you fool!" Gon Hulio yelled while dashing out in order to stop the rash idiot from doing something stupid.
However, it quickly became clear that he wouldn't make it in time.
"Necro!!" Su Yu cried out, worrying more about him than herself.
"Prepare to meet your maker, you cocky brat—"
In an instant. Without anyone having seen it coming. Six sharp roots shot out of the pavement, piercing through Feng Yunxia in a gruesomely bloody display that left him as a skewed doll.
"!!!" "!!!" "!!!"
Even those unrelated pedestrians in the background were utterly baffled by what they were looking at.
Had anyone seen what happened??
No. It all occurred too fast for the human eye to register.
"Was this your doing!?" Gon Hulio accused Necro with a wrathful tone. "Do you actually dare to kill one of my Vice Lieutenants right in front of me!? Am I just air to you??"
Necro apathetically looked away from the swiss cheese-like Feng Yunxia. His eyes fell on Gon Hulio, where they then transitioned to abyssal globes that swirled with murderous intent that shouldn't be possessed by a 10-year-old boy.
Looking at Necro, Gon Hulio's complexion turned several shades grayer. Behind the terrifying young boy, Gon saw corpses. A sea of corpses. Endlessly stretching in every direction. Countless billions of lives taken.
"M-M-Monster…!!" Fear gripped hold of Gon Hulio in that moment, his pupils erratically flickering while staring at Necro. "You demon!!"
Nobody else could see the endless number of corpses embodying Necro's immeasurable killing intent. Not even the owner of the killing intent himself knew it was there.
What he did, however, know was that… another life would be tallied today.
"You're going to die now," Necro said coldly as he took harrowing step after the next toward Gon Hulio. "I don't care who you are. I don't care who hired you. For daring to arrive before me this day and hurt that which I wish to protect…"
"!!!"
"...Your life is mine."
Within the blink of an eye, Necro's right arm moved. The full power of his Rank 6 Evolution Tree Rank and 3rd Petal Orange Lotus cultivation was unleashed.
Gon Hulio had little time to think, and on instinct, he backed far away from the incoming strike.
However, it made no difference for Necro.
|Death Piercer|
"…Huh…?"
Gon Hulio slowly and stiffly looked down at his stomach. There, dead and center, was a hole. Bloody and… fatal.
"But… we weren't even going to kill you…" were the last words to leave the Underworld Boss's mouth before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he collapsed to the ground.
"Murder!" a pedestrian screamed, finally snapping out of the abruptness of all these mind-boggling events. "Someone is killing!!"
A few bystanders reacted at around the same time as well. They either stayed and screamed or ran off in search of the City Guards patrolling the area.
Necro remained indifferent. He walked over to the stunned Su Yu, where he then bent down and commenced a staring session.
