Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: The Tragic Situation of Striking X with Fierce Fury

Overwhelming malice surged from behind them.

The five people walking ahead stopped almost instantly.

Without hesitation, they scattered in all directions, then turned to look behind them.

Nobunaga, who was standing at the back, almost instinctively raised his sword reflexively, blocking it in front of him.

He piled almost all the Nen he could use in front of him, blocking the opponent's attack.

"Clang!"

A vast and powerful force surged forward, and the sword blade, unable to bear the weight, snapped directly.

The malicious Nen was extremely penetrating, like a sharp blade, instantly striking Nobunaga's abdomen.

"Cough, cough!" Nobunaga suddenly spat out a large amount of blood, and his entire body was sent flying as if struck by a heavy blow.

He broke several trees on the way before coming to a heavy stop.

After launching this attack, Mito disappeared without a trace once again.

"Be careful!"

This time, Mito targeted Menying.

Compared to Nobunaga, Menying's senses and reaction speed were clearly a beat slower.

Even with Nobunaga blocking nearby, Menying still failed to prepare his defense in time.

A chilling tearing sound was heard, and Mito's arm was like a hard iron rod,

piercing directly through Menying's chest, and then was violently pulled out under Menying's disbelieving gaze.

In an instant, internal organs and blood spurted out like a fountain. Menying widened his eyes, looking at everything with disbelief, and then fell straight to the ground.

"How, is, this, possible?" He muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief.

He actually fell, in this situation, in this place.

And Mito disappeared from the spot again.

Post-mortem Nen, like tough ropes, tightly wrapped around the few people closest to him,

as if to fiercely strangle their necks.

Following that, Mito launched his third attack.

Seeing this, Kral quickly drew his sword, preparing to counterattack. However, Mito did not dodge at all, pushing straight into the sword blade to approach him.

Even though his body had been pierced by the sword blade, he felt nothing.

But under Kral's dodge, the attack aimed at his heart landed on his arm instead.

A piercing tearing sound, his arm was completely torn off, and then Mito disappeared from the spot with the sword.

The fourth attack, the spearhead pointed towards Wo Jin.

Wo Jin was prepared, and he roared: "Super Destruction Punch!"

Two incredibly powerful streams of Nen collided fiercely.

This time, due to insufficient preparation, Wo Jin was sent flying backward by the shock, and the arm that collided with Mito also became severely red and swollen.

However, among the four people, he was considered the least injured.

The fifth attack, it was Phinks' turn.

Phinks had ample time to prepare. He did not choose to attack proactively but gathered all his Nen for defense.

He crossed his hands and blocked them over his heart.

He had already seen it, don't think about dodging, don't think about attacking.

Mito's attack, like a landslide and a tsunami, heavily struck his crossed arms.

The huge impact force sent Phinks flying backward.

At this moment, this originally quiet and peaceful forest had become a scene of devastation.

Kevin, who had already fled far away, turned his head and looked towards the direction of Mito's battle.

As a dull roar came from the distance, the battle seemed to have stopped.

Kevin silently turned his head and sighed helplessly,

It seemed that Mito should have given his all.

Who exactly were those guys?

According to Kevin's observation, this group of people were definitely not nobodies.

In Kevin's view, except for a very few individuals, the others gave him a strong sense of danger.

Since he left the Sky Arena, he had rarely sensed this kind of dangerous aura from other people.

This was not because others held malice towards him, but rather an intuition, an intuition that told him he might not be the opponent's match.

Why would such powerful guys be so interested in the [Scarlet Eyes]?

Kevin truly could not understand.

Although he knew that these [Scarlet Eyes] were one of the World's Seven Great Beauties and were priceless, was it necessary to go to such lengths to exterminate them?

They actually slaughtered their entire tribe.

Moreover, as far as he knew, not every one of those over a hundred tribesmen possessed the bloodline of the Scarlet Eyes; more than half of them were outsiders.

Do such powerful Nen Users really lack this little bit of money?

Did they have to commit such deranged evil deeds?

Kevin's worldview made it truly difficult for him to understand this behavior.

In his opinion, wanting to make money by relying on Nen Ability was an extremely easy matter.

Committing such evil deeds was mostly due to specific goals and twisted preferences.

Suddenly, a massive surge of Post-mortem Nen, like a raging tide, soared from behind him.

Kevin sharply turned his head.

Having once experienced the brink of death, a similar kind of Post-mortem Nen still lingered on his body, which made him extremely sensitive to this kind of resentment.

He could even, by relying on this resentment, clearly sense who the owner of this resentment was, and the hatred contained within it.

Tyranny, slaughter, and a strong desire for revenge filled this surge of resentment.

That was Mito's resentment.

As expected, although Kevin was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised when faced with such intense and soaring resentment.

As early as when Mito had resolved to die, Kevin had already sensed the faint resentment emanating from him.

This resentment was not unique to Mito himself, yet it continuously emanated from him and accumulated more and more.

At that time, they were still in the process of fleeing, and Kevin had no time to focus on thinking and judging these matters.

Recalling it now, if there were no surprises, this should be the effect brought about by the [Essence Sensing Potion].

[Essence Sensing Potion: Makes Nen more sensitive to emotions and will, and allows for fine feedback.]

This was the effect of the potion; after drinking it, it could make a person more sensitive to emotions, and it seemed to allow for a certain degree of control and suppression.

Mito was in this state at the time, but this suppression did not make the emotions disappear. The fact that his Scarlet Eyes did not return to normal due to his outward calmness was the best proof.

This was more like wrapping and accumulating his emotions layer by layer.

These emotions still existed and were constantly accumulating.

Furthermore, during the process of fleeing and observing, Kevin had heard Mito muttering to himself.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and he didn't pay too much attention, but recalling it now, Mito seemed to have been constantly reciting the names of the deceased tribesmen.

It was as if he could truly feel their pain and death.

Looking at it now, it should be the [Essence Sensing Potion] that granted him the ability to perceive those sorrowful emotions.

After all, the color of their eyes would change with emotions like anger and extreme states, which indicates that the Kurutas' emotions were extremely active.

And these emotions should have all been captured by Mito.

Kevin vaguely felt that this might have a certain connection with his current violent outburst of resentment.

But honestly, Kevin's research on Post-mortem Nen was not deep, and his relevant experience all came from his own experiences.

"Resent them, take revenge on those damned beasts, make them pay a heavy price!"

Kevin whispered through clenched teeth, with such intense resentment, those guys would definitely pay a heavy price for it, that was beyond doubt.

Kevin withdrew his thoughts, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, and he sped up while riding the ground bird.

He had to get back to the city before those people, then immediately take transportation and get away from this terrifying place as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, he quickly took out his satellite phone and began making arrangements in an orderly manner.

In the forest, it was a scene of tragic devastation.

Mito's body slowly knelt down towards the direction of his tribe, a thin sword stuck in his body, his head hung limply, and his hands had long become a bloody mess.

The entire body was dilapidated and could almost be described as too horrible to look at.

A Nen bullet whistled over, followed by more and more Nen bullets raining down on the body,

until the body was blasted into fragments.

Franklin, who was tall and had stitches on his body, slowly approached.

"What the hell happened to you guys?"

He looked at the scene before him with a face full of disbelief. Beside him, the Leader was flipping through a book, his expression solemn as he surveyed everything here.

One of their members, Menying, had fallen to the ground, lifeless, with a shocking large hole in his chest.

Another member's arm was broken, and he was leaning against a tree stump, breathing with difficulty.

Wo Jin had a dangling arm, and his arm was abnormally swollen all the way up to his shoulder, clearly heavily injured.

He was carrying the unconscious Nobunaga on his back, walking out from the dense forest.

Among everyone, the one who looked relatively better was only Phinks.

But even he had a strange curve in the forearm of one hand, clearly broken.

The forearm of the other hand was abnormally red and swollen.

He was not lightly injured.

Shalnark, supporting Feitan, also arrived here.

The two looked at the tragic scene before them, also with faces full of disbelief.

They had just felt the soaring resentment, mainly because that kind of Nen had a malicious intent towards them, which was why they hurried over.

The Leader opened the book in his hand, and a materialized object resembling a syringe appeared in his other hand.

Holding this materialized object, he injected medicine into several injured people.

After stabilizing their injuries, the Leader looked at the member with the broken arm and said: "I have already notified Machi, she will be here soon."

Although the Leader possessed a Nen Ability that could stabilize injuries, he was powerless when it came to dealing with severed limbs.

Clearly, the person named Machi possessed the technique to repair severed limbs.

"Tell me what happened."

The Leader asked.

He was not only asking the few people in front of him but also Feitan, who had first encountered the enemy.

As everyone recounted the events one after another, the course of the incident was gradually pieced together.

After listening, Shalnark analyzed: "Those two guys who were hiding should have approached while we were in action.

The person wearing ethnic clothing should also be a Kuruta, the other person might be an outsider. Could they have been accidentally caught up in this matter?"

Saying this, Shalnark looked at Feitan and asked: "What did that guy look like?"

Who knew that Feitan's expression was extremely unpleasant, and he shook his head helplessly.

At that time, he was caught completely off guard by the sneak attack, and before he could even see the opponent's appearance clearly, he was violently sent flying.

"I will definitely kill that guy." Feitan said through clenched teeth.

Phinks also frowned, saying with a brutal expression: "I saw that guy's face when I was pursuing him."

After everyone exchanged information about Kevin, their gazes all fell upon the only sacrificed member, Menying.

"Is this Post-mortem Nen? It can actually make someone who was originally weak become so powerful?"

Kral, wearing a top hat and holding his severed arm, muttered to himself.

In his opinion, Mito could indeed be considered weak.

He was completely a beginner Nen User.

The Leader shook his head slightly and said: "This situation is very rare. The enemy should have witnessed our massacre the entire time but kept enduring without acting.

During this process, the hatred in his heart continuously accumulated, and finally, he should have made a Restriction and Pledge.

Moreover, his resentment for revenge against us is extremely deep."

Speaking of this, the Leader couldn't help but start thinking.

He had relaxed his vigilance at the time, and the enemy seized this oversight to deliver a fatal blow to them.

He underestimated the hatred and resentment that an ordinary Nen User held towards them in his heart.

He also underestimated that this kind of resentment, when applied to such an ordinary Nen User, could also bring them fatal harm.

But the attack Menying faced was clearly greater than what the others faced, yet the first person to face the attack was Kral.

Looking at the intensity of the attacks.

From heaviest to lightest should be arranged like this.

Menying - Kral - Nobunaga - Wo Jin - Phinks.

So that's how it is, it was determined by each person's attitude towards killing.

Menying undoubtedly faced this massacre with enjoyment.

Kral had a certain degree of mockery.

The other three were just like they were completing a task, some merely showing normal disregard for life.

But because Nobunaga was digging out eyes, he would perform decapitation attacks, so the intensity of the attack he faced was greater than the other two.

As the primary culprit, if I had been there at the time, I would have faced the attack with the greatest power.

That is to say, I would have undoubtedly been fatal at that time.

Did I get my life back?

"This is no problem, there won't be a next time."

The Leader said with a firm tone.

Next time, we need to be even more careful and vigilant, and do a good job of intelligence work.

Then leave no one behind.

What is more important now is to deal with the problems of our companions as soon as possible, otherwise, it will leave irreversible after-effects.
