Chapter 139: A Fallen General!?

Chapter 139 A Fallen General!?

Nevertheless, Bart, who had killed three people, did not leave. Instead, he lit a cigarette, sat down on a chair beside him, and began to smoke. He had no intention of leaving

Gu Ding and his crew were speechless upon seeing this.

“Is this guy for real?” Liliath felt that Bart was being a little ignorant. There was a hundred-fold gap between a Rank-8 Gene Body and Rank-10 Gene Body’s combat effectiveness. He had managed to kill three Rank-8 Gene Bodies by borrowing the demigod item’s power. Nevertheless, it would not be enough to tackle a Rank-10 Gene Body top powerhouse like Sharp. “He doesn’t think that he’s invincible just because he has that demigod item, does he?”

“He may be extremely arrogant, but for now, everything he did was within his expectations.” Gu Ding thought that Bart was staying for a reason. Gu Ding knew very well that Bart would not be able to defeat Sharp with only a demigod item. “Let’s just see what he wants to do.”

At the port, Walter had been keeping a close watch on the situation. He clearly witnessed the death of the two lieutenant generals and the colonel general. Despite his grief, he had no time to mourn. The fight made him notice the metal chain around Bart’s waist that looked like a cheap accessory. “The reason his combat effectiveness is so strong must be because of that chain.”

He clipped the video and sent it to Emily and Sharp who were on their way.

“That’s a demigod item!” Emily said instantly but did not say anything else. She knew that Sharp was already on his way, and Bart would definitely pay for his actions.

“That bastard, is he still in the mall?” Sharp dialed Walter’s communicator.

“Yes, he’s still smoking as if he’s waiting for something.” Walter was uncertain of what Bart’s intentions were.

“That arrogant bastard, he should know that we’re sending another team of people. He’s waiting there on purpose.” Sharp had dealt with many Interstellar Pirates before and could sort of guess what Bart’s idea was in his mind. Nevertheless, what Sharp was unaware of was that Bart already knew that he was his pursuer.

“There’s also something that concerns me,” Walter said after a short pause, “Gu Ding contacted Bart before we launched our attack. He must have told Bart that we’re making a move. That’s why I sent two more teams over. However, I was not expecting it to turn out like this. Gu Ding must be aware that you’re coming as backup, and Bart seemed to receive a message the moment you set off earlier. We don’t know the contents of the message, and the sender’s number is only shown as non-existent. The message should have been from Gu Ding. If I’m not mistaken, Gu Ding must have told Bart that you’re on your way there personally this time. Nevertheless, based on the current situation, it seems like he has nothing to lose.”

“He’s rather naive if he thinks he can beat me with a mere demigod item. I’ll try my best to capture him alive but will not hesitate to kill him if necessary. As for Gu Ding, find him as soon as possible but do not kill him. The Lord told me and Emily before we came that he would like to meet Gu Ding but not his dead body,” Sharp mentioned Gu Ding in passing.

“Indeed. A hacker of his level is much more precious than a national treasure level powerhouse. It’s understandable that the Lord appreciates talents.” Walter had heard of Gu Ding’s notoriety, and he was impressed by his hacking talents. That was because no one in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation was up to his skill level. “If he were to side with us, he would be a great addition to Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation.”

Sharp had arrived outside the mall, so he hung up the call. He stepped into the first-floor lobby of the mall.

Bart, who was sitting on a swivel chair, turned it around and looked straight at Sharp. Slowly, he puffed out a cloud of smoke and said, “You’re finally here.”

Sharp glanced at the thirty corpses on the ground and raised his head. “Did you kill all of them?”

“That’s right,” Bart did not deny it and merely flicked the ashes of his cigarette. “Your men came after me. You can’t simply expect me not to fight back, can you?”

“Are you aware of the consequences of angering me?” Sharp stepped forward and violent energy began to flow out from his body as if he was a beast that had suddenly been woken up from his slumber. His aura immediately enveloped the surrounding area up to hundreds of meters.

The cigarette in Bart’s hand was instantly put out. Bart lowered his head to look at it before casually flicking the remaining half of the cigarette butt to the side. Bart then jumped off the swivel chair, he did not seem fazed by Sharp’s aura. “Perhaps I’m about to find out?”

Sharp held a saber in his right hand. He lifted the saber with its sheath attached. A violent force blasted out as a soft sonic boom was created in the air; it left a deep scratch on the floor and ceiling.

The force was aimed at Bart with great precision.

Bart reached over to grab the chain around his waist, and the chain’s color instantly turned dark before it started to slither like a spiritual snake. Immediately after that, it wrapped itself around Sharp’s attack. However, this time, it did not shatter the force of the attack. Instead, it began to devour it, and the force slowly became smaller at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

By the time the force reached Bart’s face, it had completely vanished.

Sharp was slightly surprised but nothing more. That was because he had only used half of his strength in that strike. “I really want to see how much force you can devour!”

Upon finishing his sentence, Sharp sent multiple slashes flying. He had made a total of nine consecutive strikes.

Seeing that a force more than double the first attack he took on was going to strike him from different angles, Bart’s casual demeanor disappeared. He shook his chain.

The black chain transformed into nine spiritual snakes and once again wrapped around each of the attacks. Then, the snakes began to devour them. However, the speed at which each of them devoured the attacks was significantly slower this time. By the time the attacks had arrived in front of Bart, they still had half their strength left. As a result, Bart was forced to dodge them awkwardly.

“If that’s all you got, you better hand over that demigod item and follow me to federal prison. Sharp felt that he had pretty much tested out the bottom line of Bart’s power. Bart was not as strong as he thought. “Even with that demigod item, you’re just a Rank-7 Gene-Body. Don’t make any vain attempts.”

“Is that so?” Bart seemed dispirited, but the corner of his lips was slightly curled up. “Do you really think that’s all a demigod item can do?”

Only then did Sharp feel something unusual underneath his feet. Unaware of when it happened, his feet had been forced to take on a weird posture by black silk threads. Looking closely, those silk threads were extremely small chains. Sharp then realized something bad was about to happen.

Even Gu Ding who had been watching their fight was a little surprised. “Is he really capable of killing Sharp?”

“That’s an ancient civilization’s primary power seal formation.” Neptune recognized the technique immediately. “However, the formation is incomplete. I don’t know how long it’ll be able to seal Sharp for. Bart must have set up the formation in secret before the first attack even took place.”

“He was targeting a federal general from the very start!” Gu Ding finally understood Bart’s ambitions.

If Bart were to kill a Federal Government general, his would immediately surge to billions of Universe Credits. It would result in an increase in his bounty by at least a few hundred-folds. One could say that Bart was willing to go through great pains to increase his bounty.

Sharp found himself seemingly stuck in a quagmire. As the silk threads slowly made their way up his body, his body became harder and harder to control. Additionally, Sharp found that his primary power was being blocked by strange energy, and he could not use it like normal.

A black cocoon slowly began to form around Sharp’s body. The cocoon started to thicken, and Sharp’s struggle began to weaken.

Walter’s hands trembled slightly at the sight of this. He had not fathomed Bart’s strength to be of such level. His plans had been disrupted due to Bart’s emergence.

If Sharp were to die, he would be left with Emily and her Rank-10 combat effectiveness. Nevertheless, whether it was Biggie from Gu Ding’s crew or Bart in the current situation, both of them had combat effectiveness comparable to a Rank-10. If Sharp died, the Interstellar Pirates would certainly feel motivated while the Army would definitely feel demotivated. Then, if the Interstellar Pirates joined forces, even with Emily’s strength, there was a possibility that she would end up being annihilated. Not to mention, if they failed their mission, whether they would be pardoned and not executed was a problem.

As a Federal Army Soldier, Walter was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of being condemned for posterity. He had planned the capture. If the mission ended up failing miserably-even if he died-he would be burdened with all sorts of infamy. The entire Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation would also be proven by Gu Ding and Bart-both of which were newcomers who had only debuted less than a year ago. Taking the consequences of the mission’s failure into account, the Federal Government might even demote Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation to a 1-star Cosmic Nation. That was what Walter was most afraid of.

Na

Walter felt lost at that moment. Nevertheless, after hesitating for a while, he did not send Emily to back Sharp up. Walter was worried that Bart had backup, and he could not afford to lose two generals in one go. Hence, all he could do was clench both his hands and pray silently. “Senior Sharp, please be alright…”

At this time, Sharp was in a great crisis. Not only was his body and movements being restrained, but his primary power was also slowly being sealed. Sharp hysterically commanded the primary power in his body to move around-attempting to move his body, but he only felt the pressure get heavier and heavier.

The color of the black cocoon started to lighten. Gu Ding and his crew looked at it carefully. The tiny chains could be seen plunging themselves in Sharp’s skin as if they were tattoos. Then, after a while, they sunk into his skin completely. All they left behind was another strange pattern on Sharp’s skin.

Sharp collapsed to the floor, unconscious-even the grip in his right hand that was holding his saber had been let go.

Bart slowly walked over and stepped on Sharp’s head with his feet. After seeing that there was no response from him, Bart bent down and picked up Sharp’s saber.

“This is such a good saber. I could probably sell it for a good price,” Bart said and looked in the direction of a surveillance camera. “Gu Ding, if your crew’s Biggie wants this saber, I’m willing to sell it to you at a cheaper price. Contact me once we leave Great Divinity, we’ll find a safer place to carry out the transaction.”

Afterward, Bart slowly unsheathed the Saber and aimed the tip of it at Sharp’s heart. Then, he raised his head and grinned at the surveillance camera. “Look properly, Army general Sharp has died in my hands!”

Upon finishing his sentence, Bart pushed the tip of the saber down with both his hands and thrust it into Sharp’s heart…
