Chapter 971 - I Will See You in Hell!


    "W-What are you going to do to us, you monster!?" One of the assassins there used all of his courage to shout out loud.


    "Nothing much. I am just going to punish you all a little for your actions." Yuan calmly said.


    He suddenly flicked his sleeves, immediately severing the arms of one of the assassins there.


    "A-Aaaah! My arms!" The assassin screamed in a terrified voice as blood sprayed from his wounds.


    "It''s just your arms, what''s the big deal? I''ll give you something else to scream about."


    Whoosh!


    The Empyrean Overlord moved in a speed that none of the assassins there could see with their bare eyes, and before they realized, Yuan severed that assassin''s legs.


    The assassin fell to the ground and screamed in horror as heid around his own severed limbs.


    The other four assassins gasped in shock. The scene before their eyes looked like it came straight out of a horror movie.


    One of them couldn''t endure it any longer and started running around.


    "Where do you think you''re going?" Yuan''s voice resounded as the Starry Abyss caught up with the runner almost immediately.


    "Aaaaah!" A painful scream echoed as the Starry Abyss severed the runner''s legs.


    However, the assassin did not give up and started crawling with his arms.


    Unfortunately, he did not go very far as his arms were severed as well.


    When the other remaining three assassins saw the result of running away, they all gave up the thought and resigned their lives to fate.


    "If you''re going to kill us, hurry up and do it. Is there a need to humiliate— torture us?!" One of them suddenly said.


    "Need? Of course not. However, I want to— just like how you all decided to kill me."


    "B-But that was our job! Someone had put a hit on you! If you''re going to me someone, me that person!"


    "Don''t worry, I have already dealt with Zheng Weimin. He''s currently waiting for the rest of you in hell. And you can only me yourself for choosing such a job."


    "Die!''


    One of them suddenly pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Yuan''s head before shooting it.


    A 9mm bullet flew toward his face the next moment, but it stopped an inch from his head.


    The assassin was in disbelief, but he continued to pull the trigger until he emptied the magazine.


    A little over a dozen bullets hovered in front of Yuan''s face, but he didn''t seem to be concerned, almost as though he had expected it.


    "If you''re going toe at me, you would have a better chance with a knife than a gun." Yuan nced at the assassin who shot at him before returning the bullets to its rightful owner.


    "Ahhhh!"


    The bullets struck all of the assassin''s vital parts, paralyzing his body almost instantly.


    "Don''t worry, you''ll bleed to death just like the other two."


    Yuan turned to look at the two remaining assassins.


    One of them was a bulky middle-aged man and the other was a middle-aged woman.


    "P-Please! Spare my life! I will do anything you want! To tell you the truth I am still a virgin! I will let you be my f—" The woman started pleading for her life by offering her body, but Yuan swung the Empyrean Overlord before she could finish, sending her head flying into the air.


    "How vile." Yuan muttered in a low voice afterward.


    Blood sprayed everywhere, but Yuan covered his body with his spiritual energy.


    "It''s just you now, huh? Anyst words?" Yuan asked the remaining assassin.


    "Go fuck yourself. It''s a pity that we couldn''t kill you or those sluts with you today." The middle-aged man spat at Yuan.


    "Is that so?"


    Suddenly, the sound of police sirens could be heard approaching their location.


    "Looks like it''s over for you too." The assassinughed out loud.


    Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Why don''t you see for yourself if that will be the case?"


    Before the middle-aged man could even react, Yuan plunged the Empyrean Overlord into his body, skewering it.


    The man''s eyes widened with shock, but he was not dead yet.


    The following moment, he watched as Yuan flew into the sky with him.


    Once they were above the clouds, Yuan said to him, "If you survive this fall, I''ll let you live."


    "You demon…" The man managed to smile despite his hopeless situation.


    Yuan retrieved the Empyrean Overlord back inside his body, letting the man fall.


    "I will see you in hell, you monster!" The manughed madly as he fell to his death, which was witnessed by the police and investigators that had just arrived at the bloody scene.


    Yuan made his way back to the hotel under the night sky as the police investigated the chaos he''d left behind.


    "What on earth is happening in this city? The unknown weapon has been used again, and there are even five brutally mutted corpses. Are we really dealing with a human here?"


    The investigators were baffled by what they found at the crime scene.


    "Actually, it appears that the unknown weapon had been used two times in this ce."


    "What?! How can such a powerful weapon be used so frequently?! This situation is more dire than we initially thought!"


    "Just what is the motive of the person or entity behind this?"? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    "What about these people? They appeared to have been cut by something exceedingly sharp."


    "Have you identified them yet?"


    "No, none of them had any form of identification. Furthermore, we found weapons hidden on their bodies. They''re probably mercenaries— the kind that would do any kind of work as long as they are paid enough."


    Sometimeter, one of the investigators there found the ck van used in the shooting nearby.


    "With this new evidence, there''s a good chance that these guys were the ones behind the shooting this afternoon. We just need to wait for confirmation from the guys at analysis."


    "The person responsible for killing them… The wounds are too brutal, which suggests vengeance."


    "Vengeance, huh? It would be for the best if that were the case…" The investigators there sighed.
