Chapter 1480 – 1480 Yellow Venerate
He had a severely burned face, his facial features all jumbled up. He was like some evil ghost who had crawled out of the fires of h.e.l.l.
When Pearson saw that face, he immediately recognized it as that of the Outer Frontier criminal with the highest bounty, the Yellow Venerate! The three Federations had several bounties on the Yellow Venerate, all of them exceeding one billion Federation dollars. It was even higher than the bounties on most of the leaders of the Murder Shrine.
When the Yellow Venerate was younger, he had abruptly appeared with such powerful special abilities and talents that all three Federations had vigorously attempted to recruit him. But in the end, for some unknown reason, the Yellow Venerate had not joined any faction of the Inner Territories, instead becoming a hired killer that had left all of the Outer Frontier trembling in fear. So long as he was paid, the Yellow Venerate would kill anyone, even his own parents. According to the files of the Special Investigation Bureaus, Yellow Venerate had killed tens of millions of people in his lifetime.
The Yellow Venerate waved his hand, and the Outer Frontier warriors who followed him rushed up to seize Pearson’s weapon and tie him up. Pearson made no attempt to resist.
!!
“Sir, please look at this!”
A subordinate brought a lipstick-sized golden object to the Yellow Venerate. The Yellow Venerate chuckled and said, “Oh, so that is what’s used to send the rescue signal. The principles behind its construction are rather complex, and it seems to have been imbued with Divine power. Press it, and his companions will come to find him. That will save us the time of finding them one by one.”
His subordinate quickly fiddled around with the golden object. Sure enough, he found an inconspicuous b.u.t.ton at the bottom of it. He pressed it carefully, but there seemed to be no reaction. But a signal that outsiders could no understand was issued from it.
Beep…Beep…
The Yellow Venerate stood up and stretched, using slow movements to practice the Starlight Mantra. Then, like some sort of athlete, he raised one leg high and lowered his body. As the Yellow Venerate warmed up, Pearson began to sweat, and his entire body began to tremble. He knew that the Yellow Venerate was preparing to kill people.
…
Alps Mohan was waiting for Pearson to finish scouting, and took out a small golden object from his bosom. He took a look at it and then he ordered his men to rapidly advance to meet up with Pearson, saying that Pearson was possibly in danger.
The party moved quickly, entering the endless black forest. Xia Fan followed behind him, wondering how Alps Mohan could know what had happened to Pearson. In the black cave, all communications devices were clearly inoperable, which was why he couldn’t contact Traveling Buddha. Yet these Sacred Federation investigators still seemed to be able to maintain contact. Perhaps it was some sort of technology that he didn’t understand.
It wasn’t long before the party saw Pearson, kneeling on the ground. He had his back to Xia Fan, so Xia Fan couldn’t see his face. But he knew that he was trembling, and fear was radiating from his body.
Several Outer Frontiersmen holding vicious weapons were circled around Pearson. They were crude weapons, sabers made from trit.i.tanium alloy. People from the Outer Frontiers weren’t very big, just ordinary warriors, and Xia Fan suspected that most of them didn’t even have a special ability.
But Xia Fan quickly spotted the stocky figure sitting on the ground. The figures of the other Outer Frontier people blocked his face so that Xia Fan couldn’t see it, but Xia Fan’s Scent special ability picked up a murderous odor. Only a warrior who had killed many people would have that sort of odor. Xia Fan deduced that the person was probably a true expert.
Alps Mohan saw the kneeling Pearson and instantly started cursing, raging that he was going to kill these bandits. But when the Outer Frontier people dispersed, revealing the person seated on the ground and his badly burned face. Alps Mohan fell silent. Although he wasn’t so scared that he started shaking, the look in his eyes clearly changed, filled with disbelief.
Xia Fan searched his memories and quickly identified the face. It was him, the Yellow Venerate, the king of hired killers. His rank was at the Primary Star River rank. Wearing his golden armor, he had ma.s.sacred his way through the universe.
Xia Fan was startled. His first reaction was that this person was dangerous, and his second reaction was to kill Yellow Venerate before he could put on his famous golden armor!
But Xia Fan was still a step too slow. As the crowd dispersed to reveal the Yellow Venerate’s frightening face, the Yellow Venerate was covered by a thin sheet of golden light. It was his special ability, Golden Armor!
Golden Armor had no substance. It was light, a powerful light-type special ability! Only Traveling Buddha’s Battle Buddha Golden Light could match that special ability. Xia Fan had been partners with Traveling Buddha for some time, so he was very aware of how powerful light-type special abilities were!
There was even a rumor that said that the Yellow Venerate was an illegitimate child of the Holy Buddha Clan. For that purpose, Grandfather Buddha and Father Buddha had once searched the Outer Frontier, but the cunning Yellow Venerate had evaded them.
In short, n.o.body knew why the Yellow Venerate had a powerful special ability so similar to that of the Holy Buddha Clan. So long as one paid the money, the Yellow Venerate would kill anyone. His killing method wasn’t a.s.sa.s.sinations, but open murder. Wearing his Golden Armor, he would barge into the household of his target and kill everyone, man or woman, young or old, then he would swagger out again. If one paid the price for a single head, the deaths of everyone a.s.sociated with them came for free.
When Alps Mohan saw the Yellow Venerate’s severely burned face, he froze. The Yellow Venerate scanned them with his cold eyes before ultimately resting his eyes on Sarah. He made a lewd smile. “Oh, you even brought a woman. That’s perfect. I haven’t seen a woman in a few days.”
On the stretcher, Sarah paled. Meanwhile Alps Mohan let out a scream as if he was going for broke. He suddenly disappeared from where he had been standing, his body drilling into the black soil. No one knew where Alps Mohan went. He could come out from anywhere to launch a sneak attack.
But Alps Mohan had underestimated the Yellow Venerate, who suddenly raised his hands and built up power, his muscles bulging before he savagely punched the ground.
Boom!
There was a ma.s.sive impact, and the ground fractured, the crystal trees shattering like gla.s.s. The people on the ground tumbled over from the shockwave, the Outer Frontier people closest to the Yellow Venerate bleeding from their noses and eyes, clearly suffering from internal injuries. Without the protection of a special ability or combat armor, their internal organs had been pulverized. After struggling for a few seconds, they all died.
Truly the king of hired killers! The Yellow Venerate respected no one and cared for no one. The only person in his heart was himself.
This was the moment!
Xia Fan didn’t know if Alps Mohan was dead or not, and he didn’t have the time to grab Sarah, who had been thrown from the clearing. Against a powerful enemy, either Xia Fan died or the Yellow Venerate died! Xia Fan had to seize this chance! While the Yellow Venerate was looking for Alps Mohan, Xia Fan would kill him! Otherwise, everything was over!
Xia Fan whipped out a knife and exploded forward, pus.h.i.+ng his Speed ability to its limits!
At the same time, Xia Fan thrust out his right hand and pressed on a small machine hidden in his left sleeve. This machine was like an automatic injector, filled with the red liquid known as the Immortal Wine!
