Chapter 482 -397: The Consequences of Provoking a Necromancer (Seeking Monthly Votes… )
He had racked his brain to arrange today’s plan.
Five Level 15 pirates, yet in the end, they still didn’t kill the target.
Instead, the pirates he had sent out all became skeleton attendants for the enemy.
This was definitely not something an ordinary vice-executive could accomplish.
Moreover, according to the intelligence, this was a newly promoted professional.
Without answering, Wu Heng vigilantly watched the pirate captain, whose body was now missing a shoulder.
...
The power of a rocket could destroy a vehicle.
Yet the captain hadn’t been directly blown to death.
“All for a bounty of 500 Gold Coins?”
“What if I say it is?”
“I don’t believe it, how would so many of you divide it up?” Wu Heng replied.
“Wait until you’re dead, then I’ll tell you,” the pirate captain growled angrily, his figure suddenly burst forth.
Transforming into a shadowy figure of black aura, he lunged towards Wu Heng’s position.
Wu Heng raised his gun and swept fire, bullets piercing the black aura and shooting up into the night sky.
Skull Crusher stepped forward.
The warhammer in his hand swung violently, smashing towards the black aura.
Bang~sizzle!
Electrical current flashed, and the pirate captain’s figure dissipated like smoke.
“He’s running, that way!” Glenda warned.
Turning to look, he saw the pirate captain’s figure hidden within the dark mist, barely visible, sprinting rapidly toward the outskirts of the village.
He’s escaping?
“Kill him!” Wu Heng ordered.
The skeletons at his side dashed out instantly, chasing after the distant figure.
Wu Heng also took out a rocket launcher from his space ring and aimed it at the fleeing shape up ahead.
After pre-aiming the location, he pulled the trigger directly.
Whoosh~!
The rocket, trailing flames, flew forward.
The fleeing pirate captain felt an alarm in his heart, turned his head abruptly, and with his full attention, he threw a wave of black light towards the incoming rocket.
On contact, the speeding rocket instantly disintegrated.
It turned into a sky full of materials, scattering forward.
Whoosh~!
Behind, a mist rose up.
Kerim’s silhouette appeared behind the captain, slashing horizontally at his neck.
The pirate captain turned his body on the spot, dodging the strike while his mouth transformed into a jaw filled with sharp teeth, biting towards his pursuer.
Kerim bent his legs and kicked off the captain’s chest, using the momentum to retreat backward.

The skeleton thief armed with Shuangdao also approached, attacking vigorously.
The double blades struck out, targeting the lower ribs.
The captain dodged swiftly, his body bulged out once more, battling the skeleton while retreating towards the village outskirts.
Indeed, he was not easy to deal with.
Standing in the distance, Wu Heng watched the fighting scene with some surprise.
This Captain of the Hand of the Devil’s combat strength was stronger than the previous five pirates, and his fighting style was also peculiarly unpredictable.
He used close combat as well as magic.
Seeing the pirate captain held back, Wu Heng drew out a Barrett once more, aiming from a distance.
Choosing the right moment, he pulled the trigger.
Bang~!
Like the explosion of distant thunder, the pirate captain’s left rib cage burst open, vanishing from sight.
Kerim kicked fiercely, and the swollen body was instantly kicked away, striking a wall like a sandbag, with bricks tumbling down.
The two skeletons immediately followed up, their weapons swinging relentlessly.
The sounds of bones breaking and flesh being cleaved filled the air.
Perhaps sensing danger and impending death.
From beneath the courtyard wall, the pirate captain’s desperate screams could be heard.
“I’ll go back with you, I confess my guilt.”
“If you kill me, the Demon’s Hand Pirate Group will retaliate against all of you; more people will die then.”
“Wu Heng, it was the Blank Envelope that made me do it, the promise it gave me wasn’t the bounty, you can’t kill me.”
The heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the area.
Xi Ligui and others from the association watched the scene before them with disbelief.
The infamous Hand of the Devil from the Emerald Sea.
The pirate group leader whom no one dared to provoke for decades.
Was now being beaten up in a corner, continuously pleading for mercy, trying to make them stop.
Tap tap tap~!
A multitude of footsteps sounded.
The shouts attracted the villagers from the village.
They closed in from all directions, holding torches in one hand and various weapons such as knives and swords in the other, surrounding the group in the middle.
They gradually drew closer.
The members of the association, who thought they had won, looked even more upset.
Clearly, the situation had taken a new turn.
“Release the captain and leave our village,” the village chief spoke.
“Release the captain and leave our village!” hundreds of villagers shouted in unison, their footsteps pressing forward.
Would the association dare to kill all of these hundreds of people?
Even if they did resort to direct conflict, these people could only retreat from the village, avoiding the wrath of the villagers.
“Everyone, don’t be impulsive, this man is a pirate, don’t act rashly,” the local vice-executive, who had come along with them, shouted loudly, trying to calm the villagers.
But with every shout, the villagers’ footsteps quickened even more.
Wu Heng glanced at the encircling villagers and gestured for the other members to move closer to him.
He warned coldly, “The Association is apprehending a pirate fugitive, those who obstruct will be treated as accomplices.”
The villagers, who had been narrowing their circle, hesitated as they looked at the indifferent expressions of the others.
The people from this Association could even defeat the captain.
If they really fought, many people might actually die.
The village head stood among the crowd and scanned them before saying, “They’re all badly wounded, kill them.”
Whoosh~!
The villagers no longer hesitated.
Raising their weapons, they charged toward Wu Heng and the other severely wounded Association members.
Wu Heng didn’t say anything more.
The submachine gun slung over his shoulder was lifted, and he pulled the trigger.
Bang Bang Bang~!
The muzzle spat out flames instantly.
Bullets whistled out, and a swath of villagers was pierced through, slowly falling to the ground.
Then, it was the villagers on the other side.
In the thunderous sound of gunfire, they fell in heaps.
At the same time,
The village head’s body began to contort, and with a look of terror on his face, his neck twisted like a twist roll and he too fell to the ground.
As the village head and the villagers at the forefront died one after another,
the remaining villagers halted their advance, fear in their hearts, and subconsciously stepped back a few paces.
The Association really dared to kill villagers.
Madness!
Meanwhile, Xi Ligui and the rest of the squad members were surprised at Wu Heng’s killing spree, yet there was also a sense that they knew he would do something like this.
Provoking a Necromancer,
was not a wise move.
After all, even if you died, he could continue to torment you.
As if to confirm this notion, a pale gray ring of light spread out, and all the bodies on the ground turned into skeletons, slowly standing up and picking up the weapons that had fallen beside them.
Facing the rest of the villagers,
The sudden rise of these skeleton frames
caused the villagers’ faces to change drastically.
They stepped back involuntarily once again, their scalps tingling.
Necromancy!
He could actually summon the dead.
Even those who were used to seeing death felt a chill at that moment.
Thump~!
In the distance, a notably sharp sound of a blade entering flesh echoed.
The pirate captain’s head fell to the ground.
It rolled out from around the corner and appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
Then, two skeleton attendants walked from afar, one holding the head, the other dragging the body.
The pirate captain’s body was twisted and broken, limbs missing.
With such significant loss of limbs, even conversion would be quite difficult.
Wu Heng bent down to examine the body.
The remaining arm still had a Space Ring on it.
He took off the Space Ring and then pulled out a straw mat.
“Wrap it up!”
The skeleton wrapped the body in the straw mat.
Wu Heng promptly stowed it in his Space Ring.
His gaze returned to the bewildered and stunned villagers.
He declared plainly, “No one is to leave the village. Anyone who flees or resists will be executed on the spot.”
Whoosh~!
The newly transformed skeletons instantly dispersed, surrounding all the villagers.
By the time some villagers came to their senses and planned to escape,
they found themselves surrounded by skeletons.
They had missed their best chance.
…
Dawn at a country house.
The door swung open, and a disheveled and faint-looking Xi Ligui walked in.
Last night’s battle had left everyone with serious injuries.
Even after taking elixirs, it was not something that could be recovered from quickly.
“Are you alright?” Xi Ligui asked with concern.
“I’m fine. What about the others?”
Xi Ligui sat down in a chair beside him.
“The others are also fine, although the injuries of the two investigators are more severe, seeing as they’re not warriors by nature, their physiques are somewhat lacking.”
After finishing, she looked at Wu Heng again.
She asked directly, “How are you so powerful?”
