Chương 22: Episode 3.10 Vicious and Cruel
The battle between two S-Class awakeners was meant to be chaotic, especially if none of them were holding back.
The only factor that will decide the outcome is their grit—their stamina to keep using powerful moves for attacking and defending.
This is something that Haichong is learning right now, and he is taking notes of it the hard way.
Bai Tingfeng's aura-coated sword ruthlessly slashed the last Mantira standing between them.
That was his 203rd A-Class monster boss, and his mana was down to a quarter. Haichong knew that this was the final leg of their battle and might end up as his loss now, but he didn't show any signs that he was facing a bleak future because he still had a card that would turn the tide a round—his trump card.
Haichong snickered and mockingly smiled at Bai Tingfeng, "You are a monster yourself, Bai Tingfeng. You continuously use your aura sword and cause all these rubbles," his hand stretched and pointed at the road that was carved all over with heinous sword scars.
"And yet you still look like you were just walking in the park."
"So, is this your plan all along? To take advantage of your deep mana pool and tire me out so that you could arrest me and interrogate me? That is a very textbook method coming from an S-Class hunter. You are disappointing."
However, despite the apparent provocation of the man, Bai Tingfeng remained looking unfeeling, "It's none of your concern how I should deal with you. You attacked my son, and it was up to me how I should toy with you as a payback for the terror that you brought to my little boy."
After he said that, Bai Tingfeng's white aura sword became bigger, and he immediately slashed his finishing strike.
However, the mysterious man before him did the unthinkable. Haichong dived right towards him. Bai Tingfeng's grip on his sword loosened, making him fail to hit the man. His sword slipped out of his hand.
Haichong let out a maniacal laugh, "Toy with me? Are you kidding me or yourself? There is no way that the high and gentlemanly Bai Tingfeng will resort to such willful violence. We know your greatest fears. Gentle Bai Tingfeng is afraid to hurt other people. That is why Kind Bai Tingfeng is pathetically saddled with slaying monsters all his life," His loud mouth continuously lets out a mocking chortle while he is persistently tries to grapple his opponent.
Meanwhile, Bai Tingfeng dodges all of his opponent's attacks by instinct because, partially, his head is mulling over the other's words.
Obviously, his opponent did an extensive background check on him.
They are not a simple group at all.
Haichong saw that his words affected Bai Tingfeng.
Therefore, he decided to drop a bomb that would distract the man, "And Stupid Bai Tingfeng's biggest fear? It's to hurt other people with his monstrous power.
That is why I initially planned to bring this fight in the crowded shopping mall where I could use several meat shields while I empty the blood of your precious little one!"
The hooded man chortled, "Oh, how marvelously dramatic would that be?"
Haichong then mockingly spoke childishly, "Papa! Please watch Yanyan's blood get sucked dry until I die!"
"Oh, scratch that. Maybe you are the one who would kill your son because with all the emotional pressure you will experience by then, Mania is inevitable."
"Shut up! Don't you dare mock my son in front of me, and you know nothing about us, Bastard!" Bai Tingfeng's face looked like he was about to explode.
He coated his right fist with a massive amount of mana and recklessly threw a punch at Haichong.
That single hit is packed with much force, creating intense wind pressure and totaling the last remaining concrete in the road before them.
Bai Tingfeng's excessive attack opened a window for Haichong to counterattack.
"You are way too soft, Bai Tingfeng, and that is your downfall," Haichong summoned a Maymoth using his power.
However, when his new monster summon is halfway out of the portal, a voice suddenly sounds on top of their heads.
"Oh, really? Let's see if you can take this. Clench your jaws, damned insect."
Haichong looked up and saw Shen Yuan dropping down where he stood up.
He tried to evade, but the omega was too quick that he could do nothing when he felt the newcomer's feet kicking his jaw.
At the last minute, he abandoned summoning his Maymoth and focused the remaining mana that he had to guard against that kick.
However, even that is futile.
The impact was not less than a mana-powered punch that Bai Tingfeng made seconds ago.
Haichong pathetically flew across the other side and rolled like a blootered ball.
He dizzyingly kneeled and coughed for a while. His eyes were blurry due to the attack, but it didn't take long until his vision became normal.
However, that only enabled him to see the white bones on the ground. "Fucking Shen Yuan, bitch! What did you do to my teeth?!"
"I told you to clench your jaws to protect your teeth, maggot," Shen Yuan coldly said.
His eyes failed to show any pity on the man. It was a cold arctic tundra in his blue eyes.
"Shen Yuan…" Bai Tingfeng has spoken in a daze.
His golden eyes flickered as he looked at the omega's side profile.
He could clearly see the changed irises and was speechlessly surprised that Shen Yuan possessed the trait of an S-Class awakener.
"Bai Tingfeng… I am not in the mood to listen to you blabbering to me to go home," the celestial fox spirit said to Bai Tingfeng in a dead tone.
The rage in his eyes was palpable now that he was face to face with his son's tormentor.
To be more precise, his anger has gone off the ceiling since he heard Haichong's impertinent words earlier.
"So that explains why Bai Tingfeng loathed Haichong to the bones after the Shopping Mall Incident that Lei Jireh (Their S-Class Affairs' slutty main character) heard about…." Shen Yuan thought to himself.
His lucid dream, where Bai Tingfeng and Shen Yuan were grieving and fighting over Bai Shengyan, also made sense after hearing the sordid plans of Haiching.
Something terrible happened to Yanyan, and it is also possible that the innocent little boy died.
The celestial fox spirit's eyes became even colder after that realization hit him. He will never let the bastard go scot-free.
With heavy steps, Shen Yuan approached the kneeling Haichong with a flashy beam on his face. The cold expression faded, but his cold blue eyes clearly reflected death.
"How's it going? Feeling swelled?"
The hooded villain couldn't stand to be mocked, especially by an omega like Shen Yuan. "Fucking bitch!" he roared.
Shen Yuan's eyes clicked his tongue, and he raised his right leg. It ruthlessly falls on the villain's head like a hammer of judgment. An axel kick from heaven, it is.
Boom! The mysterious man's head bounced on the ground like a basketball. "Do not dare call me bitch. You are not my friend. I am your nightmare, human."
"Shen Yuan! You will kill him!" Bai Tingfeng shouted.
He tried to approach the omega, but the anger-filled scream of his husband-in-paper made him halt.
"Oh, goddamn it! I am not that kind, Bai Tingfeng! I will not let this man's soul descend to hell without tasting what he did to my son!" Shen Yuan faced the alpha. He did not disguise the bubbling anger in his face.
"Yanyan sustained multiple bruises because of this fucktard's orders, and that is not all. My son suffered mental trauma because that man toyed with Yanyan, saying he would suck all his blood until he died! That innocent five-year-old bravely told me what happened to me despite him trembling in fear."
"So, Bai Tingfeng, if you dared to interrupt me once again. I don't mind you throwing all the way to the back!" the celestial fox spirit roared without care.
He had long turned his back on Bai Tingfeng, so he failed to see the darkening of Bai Tingfeng's expression.
That anger is not for Shen Yuan.
It is for both Bai Tingfeng and the villain who bullied his child.
"Hahahaha, I should have known that you were a threat the moment you suddenly jumped in front of our car, Shen Yuan. I should have incessantly shot you with bullets when you took away our vessel," Haichong suddenly cut off the couple.
Although his hood became a tattered mess, his face remained indistinguishable because of the blood oozing on his forehead.
"Bai Tingfeng, you married someone who embodies everything you hated. Vicious and cruel. That omega did not bat an eye when he set my lackeys a flame."
"What is this? Did exchanging blows make you best friends, and now you could drop advice to each other?" Shen Yuan sounded nonchalant, but the arch on his lips revealed a cruel intention.
His invisible nine-tails moved, creating a big blueish-white ball of Heavenly Foxfire.
"You don't come across as friendly and compassionate to me, Mister Maggot. There is no need to worry about your lackeys. I checked on them, and they still enjoy the hell in the mortal world. I even spent a set of syringes on one of the muscled lackeys to ensure he has a share of your agony. Does that sound familiar?" The omega waved a set of surgical scalpels and scissors in his hand.
"No! Those are way more painful than needles!" Shen Yuan's sinister grin reflected in the trembling eyes of Haichong.
At this point, he struggled to move his body to escape the omega he once saw as dirt.
He felt a genuine fear for the first time in a long while.
"Shh," Shen Yuan hushed the frightened villain.
"You don't have to be so eager for your turn because you are next, and I will make it ten times hotter than them!"
Shen Yuan grabbed the foxfire orb and hit it directly on Haichong's struggling head. It spread all over the man's body in no time, inflicting a scorching pain like no other.
"Arghhhh!!" the villainous man writhed on the ground as if possessed.
His eyes are wide while continuously dripping with tears, and his mouth never shut because of his incessant cries of woe.
"No! Please make this stop! Shen Yuan! Arghhhh! Why are you doing this to me? Fuck!" Haichong cried. He could no longer pull himself up as he felt he was swimming in the pits of hell.
"The funny thing about humans is when they are in painful punishment, they always ask why— never what or how. It was ironic because, in the first place, they are aware of why they are subjected to that in the first place," the celestial fox spirit said to himself.
It was a haunting sight to anyone.
However, the undercover celestial fox spirit, Shen Yuan, stood there as if he was looking at nothing.
Being subjected to a Heavenly Foxfire is not the same as getting a burn from a fire from a stove.
It was a dizzying journey of despair, pain, and despair— an endless and repetitive cycle of doom. Especially to Haichong, who is experiencing the hottest fire that he could create.
"Well, it was natural for him to be a mess like that since the pain was seeping into his soul. It was a pain that could not be distracted by any physical factors, so even if he tried to bang his head on the ground, that prickling pain would go on and on until I waved my hand to kill that fire. He is adding more weight to his calvary."
"Right now, his mind is the most alive. The perfect time to add another layer of misery for him," Shen Yuan said.
He leisurely took out one scalpel, and when he was about to plunge into Haichong's body, Bai Tingfeng caught his slender and pale hand.
"If you are will do that to satisfy yourself, Shen Yuan, then please stop. That is overkilling it."
Shen Yuan looked up to meet Bai Tingfeng's serious gaze.
"I will not let him die. I will make sure to stab them in non-fatal parts. Not a lot of blood will shed, well. That is if you don't pull these things out of him."
"Shen Yuan! Do you think Yanyan will like it once he finds out that because of him, his Daddy stabbed a man?" The alpha breathed a long, deep sigh.
"Remember what you promised to our son. What did you say to him before you came rushing here?"
The words said by Bai Tingfeng stirred a string in his heart. He exasperatedly turned his head and kicked the ground.
Yanyan will certainly not like it once he discovers he's gone overboard.
That boy is obviously a good boy through and through!
And for some reason, the thought that he will disappoint Yanyan doesn't sit well with him.
Defeated, Shen Yuan threw his hands in the air, "Fine! But I will not dispel this fire until that asshole apologizes to Yanyan."
After saying that, he suddenly felt something trying to touch his feet.
It was Haichong in his most pathetic state.
The convulsions didn't stop at all, and it was evident from the man's eyes that he was tired and in pain at the same time despite it being a few minutes had just passed.
"Guess you are actually not tougher than you thought you were."
Shen Yuan mocked, and ruthlessly kicked the villain in the face.
Actually, he is probably the longest human who ever experienced his most ferocious Heavenly Foxfire.
The majority of them are reduced to empty husks after a maximum of three seconds.
"Well, that is an S-Class awakener for you." Shen Yuan told himself.
In the end, Bai Tingfeng miraculously didn't make a concession to his willful demand. The man may have tried to hide it, but it was evident that he also agreed to teach a few lessons to Haichong.
