Chapter 199: Painful Death
"I will go save him," Theodore shouted out loud, his face slightly furious. After all, David could be considered his relative, so how could he bear to let him die right in front of his eyes.
His wife only shook her head and showed a strange expression on her face. In her perception, David barely seemed to have been harmed by the attack; he looked completely fine and dandy, except for some minor scratches on his clothes.
"Good! The leader of the Truth Seeker formation organization, you are indeed powerful."
Suddenly, a calm and indifferent voice resounded in the surrounding area.
Hearing the voice, the eyes of the leader of the Truth Seeker formation organization widened in disbelief, and before he could react, a feeling of extreme dread filled his heart, making his heart almost jump out in fright.
Soundlessly, David appeared in front of him like an incarnation of death and grabbed the throat of the Truth Seeker formation organization leader. David's hands were like two iron clamps, almost crushing the leader to death.
"...Argh," The leader started to thrash his legs like a mindless chicken; he felt as if David was not holding his throat but his very soul itself.
The situation had changed too fast for any of the onlookers present to react; it could even be said to have changed in an instant.
One moment, the leader of the Truth Seeker formation organization had launched a deadly attack; the next, he was grabbed by his throat and was being manhandled by David.
The Lotus sisters sucked in a breath of cold air and felt a chill run down their spine; they had no idea how David had moved so fast. In their perception, David was still standing in his original position.
"Told you to wait, didn't I." Theodore's wife suddenly smiled like a flower and spoke while looking at Theodore with a smug look on her face.
"This...?" Theodore, on the other hand, was greatly shaken by David's strength. The last time he saw David was only at the Golden Core Realm, but now the moment that he was excluded made Theodore's heart palpitate in fear.
Victoria turned her attention away from her stunned husband; her placid eyes landed on David's figure.
At this time, the Heavenly general also managed to react; the scene in front of him felt like a resounding slap to his face.

His handsome face suddenly seemed to burn intensely; slowly, the feeling of shock and disbelief turned into rage. "How dare you."
These three words were filled with uncontrollable rage. According to the Heavenly general, it wasn't the leader of the Truth Seeker formation organization whose throat was in David's iron-cold grip, but his own neck.
All of the Heavenly general's facial expressions were captured carefully by David; earlier, he didn't want to make the guy's life difficult, but the attitude of the leader had really pissed him off.
Did the leader really think David was a pig on a chopping board meant to be killed at will?
David completely ignored the Heavenly general's furious shout and even strengthened his grip on the leader's neck.
The leader's face looked like an inflated balloon that could pop at any moment.
"Arrogant." The Heavenly general coldly snorted and then launched a punch in David's direction.
His small fist covered in green energy multiplied thousands of times in mid-air; in front of the gigantic fist, David was as small as an ant.
Before the fist could even reach, the gust of wind generated by the sudden movement made his clothes flutter.
The Heavenly general was truly furious as he had really gone all out from the start. If David wasn't wrong, the green energy was definitely laws in action.
But he wasn't afraid; his heart suddenly accelerated not in fear, but in sheer excitement.
'Try Killing me if you can, you fucking bastard.' David wanted to shout these hot-blooded words out loud, but he resisted the urge.
Sizzle! Crack!
David closed his eyes for a split second, and when he opened them again, purple lightning flashed in both of his hands with a tinge of strong gray mixed in.
Now his comprehension of law had crossed the 10% mark; his normal attacks contained the power to completely annihilate anything as long as David was sufficiently strong.
David had a feeling that if he had enough mana, he could even erase the Green Heaven World from the face of this universe.
"Argh! My face, what strange power is this, you demon." The leader of the Truth Seeker formation organization cried out in pain; his neck suddenly seemed to have started to disappear as if it was being slowly erased from existence.
"Help me, Heavenly general." His body suddenly exploded with strength, but even then he could not escape David's grasp. So in the end, he could only turn to the Heavenly general.
David paid no heed to the pitiful guy; in his eyes, the Truth Seeker formation organization leader was already dead. Without dilly-dallying, he launched a punch of his own to counter the Heavenly general's ruthless attack.
His small fist glowing in purple and gray met with the Heavenly general's gigantic fist.
Time seemed to have suddenly stopped for a moment, allowing us to appreciate the scene carefully. It looked as if a tiny ant was trying to fight a human adult.
In such a situation, the fate of the ant could be easily predicted.
However, when the time required to meld and the fists clashed with each other, the scene was completely different.
The clash sent a terrifying shockwave blasting through the air; the residents of the Nightblade City were the first to bear the brunt of the clash. They felt as if the sky was collapsing.
Mary, Sebastian, Ruby, and even Zose appeared outside the building one by one and looked at the sky while frowning.
They felt an extremely familiar aura in the sky. Suddenly, Mary jumped into the air and rushed towards the sky, ignoring the rules of the city.
For a moment, Ruby and Sebastian exchanged silent glances and also took to the air.
Zose hesitated for a moment and also followed the trio from behind.
…
Unbelievably, the two were equally matched, and if you looked at the scene closely, David appeared to be in an advantageous position as well.
This situation made the Heavenly general clench in fright. Just now, when his hand touched the fist of the black-haired young man, a breath of absolute annihilation enveloped his body. If he failed to react in time...
Never in his life had the Heavenly general encountered such a situation.
"What are you!" The general asked in a fearful tone while examining his fist, which seemed to have been burned.
"You are really curious for a dead man." At the Heavenly general's inquiry, David smiled coldly.
Instead of getting angry and shouting like an entitled prick, he looked around his surroundings in panic.
The clash just now had made him re-evaluate the young man in front of him. The Heavenly general wasn't stupid; he had been through countless life and death struggles and could easily judge when the situation wasn't in his favor.
The speed at which he suddenly retreated increased tremendously.
The Lotus sisters had their mouths agape; the high and mighty Heavenly general was running away with his tail tucked between his legs.
Suddenly, the white Lotus wanted to go back in time and give her past self a good slap in the face.
How could she fail to judge such an important thing? In barely a few seconds, her face displayed myriad emotions, making one think if the human body was even capable of reacting in such a way.
"Huh!" the Heavenly general, who was running, abruptly stopped. A huge figure covered in glossy metallic armor filled with mysterious engravings on its surface had appeared in mid-air, blocking his way.
And from the undulating waves of pressure released by the figure, he was at the peak of...
Although David was confident in dealing with this arrogant general, he decided to call the Origin Guard just in case; it never hurt to be a little extra careful.
"Don't go this far; otherwise, you would not be able to bear the consequences." The Heavenly general spoke with a panicked expression on his face. He was truly panicked now. If it was the black-haired young man alone, then he might have a chance to escape, but now with the addition of this mysterious figure, the chances of escaping were pitifully low, so he now resorted to intimidation techniques.
"Come and accept your death now; I will make sure that it is completely painless." David snickered and spoke like a third-rate villain with a small grin at the corners of his lips.
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the Heavenly general to react and blinked out of existence, appearing dangerously close to the Heavenly general like a ghost.
"Don't kill me, I..." The Heavenly general roared, but his words were abruptly stopped, and in the next moment, the Heavenly general's headless body fell to the ground.
