Chapter 252 Infuriate
“This… this can’t be possible!” The wound had been expanding, exposing the bones even more. Danny’s racing heart was fully exposed as well.
Witnessing the sudden turn of events, Danny’s eyes were filled with terror. He stared at David in disbelief and questioned, “What… what have you done to me?” His words couldn’t hide the excruciating pain he was experiencing.
After all, Danny was also an awakened individual with special abilities, and physical pain was an unavoidable part of his existence. David looked at him with a faint smile and coldly said, “Is this what you call healing ability? I told you, I never considered you a threat. You betrayed Abraham, Monica, and even sold your soul for power. The apocalypse doesn’t need people like you.”
David’s words were icy and devoid of any trace of the friend Danny once knew. Hearing David’s words, Danny froze. The pain in his body made him tremble involuntarily. The effects of the bloodthirsty wound were unbearable for him.
Meanwhile, under Charles’ guidance, the members of the Embers squad, along with Duane and Shirley, arrived at the courtyard. Observing the familiar surroundings, Fatso nodded discreetly. This was the same courtyard he had seen before, emanating a strong malevolent energy.
“Here it is!” Fatso was the first to jump out of the car and enter the courtyard. The others followed suit without examining the courtyard, heading straight to the wooden door. Fatso extended his hand to slowly push the door open, seeing David and Danny.
“David!”
“David!”
Seeing David, everyone called out, relieved that he wasn’t hurt. Hearing their teammates’ voices, David glanced at them, signaling them not to enter the desolate world.
Fatso nodded and motioned for everyone to come in. They also saw Danny, who was in agonizing struggle. Everyone was taken aback. What had happened? How did Danny end up like this? Seeing the spreading wounds on his body and the flowing blood, everyone felt puzzled.
Monica was also shocked for a moment, but her gaze quickly turned cold. In her eyes, this was a result of Danny’s own actions. Even as a teammate, she had no sympathy.
At this moment, Danny noticed the approaching group, and his eyes landed on Sally. He knew about Sally’s relationship with David. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes, and he disregarded the pain, rushing towards Sally. Before anyone could react, Danny grabbed Sally, holding the bloodied sword to her neck.
“David, let me go! Otherwise, I’ll kill her right now!” Clearly, Danny had recognized the terrifying power of David and knew that he wouldn’t fare well in a fight. So, he resorted to using Sally as a hostage. .
“Sally!” The squad members immediately reacted, calling out nervously. Panic showed on Sally’s face. The aura of the bloodied sword made her uneasy, and she involuntarily looked towards David.
Seeing his woman held hostage by Danny, David’s brow furrowed, his expression darkening. He took a step forward, fixing his gaze on Danny and said calmly, “Release her.” As he spoke, his tone was chillingly composed.
“Hehe! Now you’re begging me, huh? Weren’t you arrogant just now? Your woman is in my hands now. I advise you to leave this place immediately, or I’ll kill her right now!” Danny threatened viciously. He tightened his grip slightly on Sally’s wrist, causing the bloodied sword to graze her skin, and blood seeped out from her neck.
Everyone’s hearts tightened, and their expressions grew even more tense. No one could have imagined that Danny would stoop so low and despicably use Sally as a hostage to threaten David.
Everyone stared at him, their gazes like knives, wishing they could tear Danny apart. Despite this, no one dared to make a move. They knew that Danny was in a state of madness now, and provoking him could put Sally in an even more dangerous situation.
Listening to Danny’s words, David’s expression remained grim. He spoke again, saying, “You’ve targeted the wrong person, and you’ll pay for it.”
But at this point, Danny was too caught up in his own plan to pay attention to David’s words. He believed he had found David’s weakness and that it would be enough to make him surrender. However, he underestimated David’s anger.
In the post-apocalyptic world, the Embers squad had been with David all the way. He considered every member of the squad as family, especially Sally, who was his partner.
With David’s woman now threatened, the flames of anger within David had already ignited. He looked up at Danny, his gaze filled with defiance, and spoke each word deliberately, “You’re going to die.”
Before the words had even left his mouth, David infused all his energy into the four flying swords at once! Instantly, the sword auras surged, vibrating and producing explosive friction against the void.
“Attack!” David’s brows furrowed as he shouted loudly, fixated on Danny. The four flying swords disappeared from their original positions. Danny hesitated, trying to swing the bloodied sword towards Sally’s neck, but David had already extended his palm towards him. Fueled by anger, David’s corrosive ability surged forth, utilizing all his strength!
Danny’s palm corroded rapidly under this onslaught! Then, out of nowhere, the four flying swords appeared at his forehead, shoulder blade, spleen, and heart positions. Swiftly, they shot towards those spots like enraged dragons.
The tremendous force lifted Danny off his feet, ultimately pinning him against the wall behind him. Blood flowed down from his wounds, and his face twisted in pain.
Danny struggled, but his body couldn’t muster any strength. He stood there, letting the blood flow from his wounds. His heart gradually stopped beating, and as Sally, now rescued, hurried to David’s side, he gazed at her with a faint smile, ruffling her hair gently. Then he turned his gaze back to Danny and said, “This is the result of your actions. You’ve brought this upon yourself.” With that, he looked at Monica, raising the spatial blade in his hand. Monica still gazed at Danny coldly, devoid of any sympathy. David nodded, and the spatial blade sliced gently across Danny’s throat.
“I…” Danny wanted to say something, but all that came out were a series of unintelligible syllables.
“Be a Good person in your next life.” Looking at Danny, who had ceased to breathe, David said coldly.
And so, the puppet master behind the apocalypse met his demise at the hands of David.
