Chapter 233: Treat Me as a Soft Persimmon

While Lucci was slaughtering his way through all sides,

some pirates had also noticed the four-year-old kid who had followed Lucci into the warehouse!

And so,

countless pirates, in terror, shifted their target from Lucci to Lu En.

"That kid's strength is no simple matter!"

"Pick the weaker one first!"

"Take down that four-year-old kid."

"Use this kid's life to threaten that guy!"

"Since the two of them came together to rescue this group of captives, that's enough to show the two of them are companions. Once we take down this dead-kid, the other one will naturally obediently surrender."

"Brothers, charge!"

"Kill!"

Pair after pair of eyes brimming with killing intent, as if by unspoken agreement, all gathered on Lu En.

As if it were the most natural thing,

they all treated Lu En as a soft persimmon!

Seeing the scene of Lucci cutting a swath of slaughter…

it scared quite a few pirates on the scene, making them no longer dare to act rashly against Lucci, and instead picking Lu En—who looked the weakest—to make their move on.

Seeing this,

Lucci's brow lifted slightly, his gaze carrying a degree of gravity and coldness.

"Kid, don't you die on me."

"Right now, I don't have the time to save you."

He thought silently to himself.

Then,

he continued charging into the crowd to cut loose.

Every move left behind a cold corpse.

Wherever he passed…

corpses littered the ground.

Slaughtering this group of pirates until they were terrified out of their wits.

At the same time.

a band of pirates had already charged toward the spot where Lu En stood.

Seeing this,

Lu En couldn't help but let out a snort.

His eyes began to flash with streaks of crimson, baleful light; his whole body radiated a savage aura like that of a primordial beast; and a violent, oppressive presence swept out in every direction.

"Isn't living good enough?"

"Why come looking for death?"

"Tell me…"

"why?!"

Lu En watched a pirate closing in beside him, reached out and grabbed the man's neck, gripping it firmly—tight as an iron clamp—so that the man's body kept struggling yet could never break free.

With a slight squeeze of his right hand,

the sound of bones about to shatter could be heard coming from the man's neck.

The pirate whose neck Lu En was choking, his chest starved of oxygen, his face began to flush red, his vision grew hazy and blurred, and he kept on struggling.

"Ugh… ugh… ugh～…"

Unable to breathe, his face flushed crimson as he tried to break free.

But he could never manage it.

"You tell me…"

"why come looking for death?"

"Isn't living well good enough?"

Lu En, still choking the man's neck, held him firmly in front of himself, watching him at close range; his eyes were already filled with flickering streaks of crimson, baleful light.

A terrifying, oppressive aura completely enveloped the pirate before him.

Terror!

A thick sense of terror surged into his heart in an instant.

He stared wide-eyed, his pupils gradually filling with spreading veins of blood.

"Could it be…"

"in your eyes, I'm a soft persimmon anyone can squeeze?"

"You can't handle that guy Lucci, so you think you can handle me?"

"Is that what you mean?"

"I'm a weakling?"

"How about you come tell me the answer!"

Lu En's right hand loosened slightly, and, still choking the pirate's neck, lifted the man's head up before him.

"Y-you!"

The pirate finally managed to breathe, staring in utter terror at Lu En, who was right before his eyes.

His panicked mind was a jumble of thoughts.

Never in his wildest dreams…

This little brat, only four years old.

The other party was actually a monster of terrifyingly extreme power!

Moreover,

From Lu En's body he sensed that terrifying aura, making him feel that, compared to that teenager from earlier, this one was far, far more terrifying!

"I've gone mad! I must have gone mad!"

"This little brat is only four years old!"

He thought inwardly, his heart brimming with terror.

After waiting for a long time,

Lu En still did not receive a reply from this person.

He asked again: "Why aren't you speaking? It seems your heart truly does think so. Then, I just have to kill you!"

"And kill every single person here, clean and thorough!"

"Every last one of them, I'll smash them all to pieces!"

Lu En grinned, a thick, savage look surfacing on his face.

This scene fell into the eyes of the pirate whose neck was being choked, making his heart grow ever more terrified; he trembled violently and blurted out instinctively: "Y-you're a madman!"

Then,

Lu En swept a casual glance at the other party, and his right hand exerted force.

Crack!

Immediately, a crisp, pleasant sound rang out.

This pirate's neck was snapped on the spot by Lu En.

At a speed visible to the naked eye…

The vitality within this pirate's body was rapidly plummeting.

Life withered,

All vitality gone.

He completely became a cold corpse.

Afterwards,

Lu En casually, as if tossing out garbage, gripped this pirate's corpse and hurled it viciously toward the group of pirates attacking from the side.

Pure brute force erupted from within his body…

Vast, surging power poured into his right arm.

Then,

This terrifying force exploded in an instant, causing the corpse flung from his hand to strike that group of attacking pirates at an extremely terrifying speed, carrying with it an inexhaustible impact.

Boom—

A world-shaking roar.

Like thunder piercing the ears,

Resounding in all directions.

The dozen-plus pirates struck by a cold corpse all, without exception, spat fresh blood; their bodies were sent flying heavily, tumbling wildly through the air, knocked back dozens of meters.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another, the pirates' bodies slammed heavily into the warehouse wall dozens of meters away, sending out a series of dull, thunderous crashes.

Puh!

Puh!

The impact of their backs against the warehouse wall made this group of pirates simultaneously open their mouths, spitting fresh blood; their faces went pale, their eyes grew exceptionally dim, and their eyelids became extremely heavy.

In an instant,

Another three to five pirates died.

Smashed to death directly by a single corpse!

Seeing this scene dealt an unprecedented, intense psychological blow to this group of pirates who had been preparing to attack Lu En.
