Chapter 53 – Have You Ever Heard of F-class?

Amid his wild laughter, Xie Yu’s mouth suddenly gaped open. The severed tongue grew back once more, stretching several meters out of his mouth. It was covered in black mucus and bristling with barbs, lashing back and forth between him and Su Lifeng like a slithering snake. At the same time, his face began to deform. His skin turned green, his eyes glowed yellow, and that once-handsome face became hideously savage.

“Ah!”

The sight made Su Lian cry out despite herself, and Gouzi shuddered all over along with her.

He had seen monsters that night, but the shock had been nothing compared to this!

Staring at that horrifying tongue and that inhuman face, Gouzi felt his legs go weak.

There was no way to fight back. Faced with a monster like this, he couldn’t even muster the courage to raise his fists…

When he thought about how he’d actually wanted to rush up and beat up a monster like this at first, Gouzi felt his mind tremble.

But just then, a streak of red suddenly replaced the tongue in his field of vision.

Gouzi froze. Su Lian froze as well.

Both of their gazes shifted away from the tongue at the same time and focused on Su Lifeng.

All this time, he hadn’t said a word.

Even now, he still did not speak. But as he stood there, he instantly became incomparably sharp.

Two blade-like membranes covered in blood-red veins tore through his clothes and appeared behind him, blocking the space in front of Su Lian and Gouzi.

“So he really is… a monster too…” Gouzi muttered. Yet the moment he said it, he inexplicably felt a little more at ease.

Maybe it was because, in comparison, Su Lifeng looked a little more human. More importantly, that streak of red, that person, had his back to them and stood in front of them as a shield.

Only, compared with Xie Yu’s ferocity, Su-Ge didn’t exactly look like he could win!

Su Lian, meanwhile, stood there trembling blankly for two seconds. From the moment she discovered Xie Yu was a monster, she had been in a daze. When Xie Yu said Su Lifeng was some Xenospecies or Mutant too, she hadn’t even processed what that meant.

But now, she suddenly felt clearer-headed than ever before.

My brother is a monster.

He’s a monster…

But just like every time before, he is silently standing in front of me…

My brother is protecting me.

Su Lian felt like crying, but in the end, no tears came.

“Ah!” She suddenly turned around and grabbed Gouzi by the neck.

Gouzi jumped in fright and said in terror, “Miss, what are you doing?!”

“I’m sorry, but I have to silence you. Then I can pin it on Xie Yu…” Su Lian said.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t!” Gouzi’s mind instantly collapsed again. Forget whether they were monsters or not-why did both of these siblings have a habit of suddenly attacking people for no reason?

“Su-Ge is what matters right now! Su-Ge is fighting the monster!” Gouzi cried out. Then he abruptly understood what Su Lian meant by silencing him. “I won’t say anything! Think about it, Miss, just think! Even if I told anyone, no one would believe me!”

Su Lian’s reaction was really because she didn’t know what else to do. Hearing this, she hesitated for a moment, slowly loosened her grip on Gouzi’s neck, then grabbed him by the collar and dragged him farther away. “No. We have to keep watch. Stand guard! Are there any security cameras around here? Give me a computer. I can block them…”

“Miss, do you think Su-Ge can win?” Gouzi asked.

Su Lian paused, then nodded without the slightest hesitation. “He can!”

“Why?”

“Do you want him to lose?” Su Lian shot back.

Gouzi was instantly left speechless.

“If my brother can’t win, then I’ll go up and bite a chunk of flesh off that thing, and then die with my brother!” Su Lian said firmly.

Gouzi hesitated for a while, then said, “Then I’m definitely dead too… If I’m going to die anyway, I’ll go up and bite him too! Oh, right. I don’t know if I’m going to die today, so I wanted to ask you, what’s the name of that girl at the front desk of your club…”

Su Lifeng had no time to listen to Su Lian and Gouzi’s reactions. Right now, all of his attention was locked on Xie Yu.

After seeing Su Lifeng’s transformation, Xie Yu froze for a moment. Then his expression turned even more arrogant.

“Hahaha… From that look on your face, I thought you were actually something special. Turns out all you’ve got is a little pair of wings! Weak. Way too weak.”

But what irritated Xie Yu was that Su Lifeng seemed far too calm.

What right did he have to be so calm?

Ever since Xie Yu had mutated, every time he revealed his true form, no matter how much the other person had looked down on him at first, they would immediately be scared out of their wits.

That was the kind of scene he loved most.

“Xie Yu, I want to ask you something. Have you ever heard of F-class Xenospecies?” Su Lifeng asked.

Xie Yu paused, then gave a scornful laugh. “F-class? Of course I know about them. Didn’t expect some thing that crawled out of who-knows-where like you to know, too. What, don’t tell me you’re trying to scare me by bringing up F-class. You think people like you and me are qualified to even see an F-class?”

Before he had even finished speaking, Xie Yu saw Su Lifeng suddenly rush straight at him.

Courting death!

Although Su Lifeng’s instant burst of speed startled him, Xie Yu had absolute confidence in his tongue.

It was because of this tongue that his life had changed. He had finally become someone above ordinary people…

Facing the tongue sweeping toward him, Su Lifeng’s Bone Wings suddenly wrapped around his body, their tips curving outward at the same time.

Splurt!

The tongue was sliced open all the way down, blood spraying wildly along Su Lifeng’s advancing figure.

“Eh?”

By the time Su Lifeng appeared in front of him and looked up at him coldly, Xie Yu still had not processed what had happened in that one-second exchange.

“I’ve killed two F-class. You’re nowhere near an F-class. I gave you time to put on your clown show only so you could give my sister a lesson in how dangerous society can be. The performance was a success. Thanks,” Su Lifeng said in a low voice.

Pfft.

As the Bone Wings pulled free from Xie Yu’s chest cavity, a jet of blood instantly shot out.

“Eh? That’s impossible… I’m strong. I’m very strong. Ordinary people are nothing but ants in front of me. How could I die?”

Xie Yu stared at the blood gushing from his body, then at Su Lifeng’s indifferent eyes fixed on him. Unable to control himself, he slowly sank to his knees.

As the angle of Su Lifeng’s gaze gradually turned into one looking down on him, Xie Yu felt as if he could also see several other familiar figures. They were all gathered around him…

“You said you took me in after both my parents died? That you treated me well? The truth is, you only did it for show! If you really treated me well, then why were you always scolding me? Huh?! You never supported my hobbies either. I asked to borrow some money from you to start an outdoor supplies company, but you said I was oversimplifying things, said the market was hard right now, told me to go study business management for two years first… You think I didn’t know you were brushing me off? You were insulting me, trampling on my dreams! You just thought I was useless!”

“Die! I don’t need you anymore. I have my own power now! No one will even know how you died!”

When their deaths were ruled “natural,” who would know that at the very end, they had actually begged him to kill them quickly? No one would know the agony they had gone through, just like no one knew what he, Xie Yu, had gone through.

When those clueless people sighed in front of him about how his uncle’s family had done everything they could for him, how could they have known that he was always humiliated at home, so furious he clenched his fists?

They had so much money, yet they had never bought him a car, and they had not even been willing to give him a little more spending money.

When he went out drinking with friends, he had never paid even once. Every time that happened, the understanding and sympathy in other people’s eyes caused him unbearable pain.

“That’s right. My pain is something other people could never understand. But I’m strong. I can do anything I want now… I shouldn’t be dying…”

The life slowly faded from Xie Yu’s wide-open eyes.
