When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

Holt's scalp tingled.

Bai Fu was an S-class Superpower User. How could she possibly... No, it was entirely possible, after all, this was Bai Fu, a woman who had outwitted him in the realm of Intelligence with no chance for him to fight back. Concealing her power and then luring him in was just part of the deception, which perfectly explained why there was no one else around. Bai Fu must have thought that her own power was enough to resolve the issue.

"You've hidden your talents well!"

There was a barely perceptible tremble in Holt's voice.

Bai Fu lightly arched her brow.

She was only trying to bluff Holt, never expecting to reveal the true colors of the power he belonged to so easily.

The Secret Tower?

Wasn't that the most terrifying terror organization in the entire Initial Gate Star System? Even in the Edge World, the Secret Tower was notorious. Unexpectedly, the Singularity Company had colluded with such a monster.

At this point, she didn't care what tower it was. Since they wanted to kill her and take her, she would kill them first!

The moment Holt attempted a counterattack, Black Fu came crashing down on him with a "Dark Boundless."

Whoosh—

Ten Flying Demon Blades shot out like cannonballs from both sides, sealing off all possible escape routes for Holt.

His body emitted a faint ice-blue glow, and from within that light burst forth a Superpower Field with a strong sense of pushback.

This smooth yet abrupt combo caught Holt entirely off guard.

Trapped in darkness and temporarily deprived of his senses, he could only resort to the simplest and most straightforward tactics.

Boom!

A torrent of Telekinesis exploded from the center of his body without holding back.

Under the impact of the Telekinesis, the entire workshop was ground to dust. Fortunately, Bai Fu had prepared in advance; she had a group of Little Black Fus protect the three conveyor belts, which saved them from being shattered.

Black Fu and Big Black Fu were both hit by the blast.

Even with Spirit Blessing activated, Black Fu's Power attribute was still not high. She was sent flying by the impact of the Spiritual Telekinesis.

On the other hand, Big Black Fu only swayed slightly before steadying itself. Its enormous right hand reached forward, heading straight for Holt.

Holt, sensing the danger through his Spiritual Telekinesis, tried to evade, but the repulsion from the Superpower Field completely disrupted his balance. He could only keep releasing Spirit Impacts at Big Black Fu.

Either oppressive, piercing, or creating illusions... He used every trick in the book.

However, against the strength-based Big Black Fu, these tactics were futile.

Spirit Impact was so deadly because it usually had two damage components: physical and spiritual. It could cause damage while applying various debuffs. Unfortunately, Holt was up against Black Fu and Big Black Fu, who were True Spirits. The spiritual damage was inconsequential, and the debuffs simply wouldn't stick. The remaining physical damage was like scratching an itch on Big Black Fu, who had a Blood Volume as high as twenty thousand.

Snap!

Big Black Fu firmly grasped Holt's neck with its five fingers. The terrifying force came from all directions, attempting to crush his neck. Meanwhile, Big Black Fu's other hand didn't stay idle either, pummeling Holt's chest.

The frontal assault had already left Holt dazed, and now the ten Flying Demon Blades closed in, the spinning blades striking continuously, sending visible sparks flying off his clothes.

His clothes were tough, but after the relentless slicing, they were shredded into ribbons, blood spurting from his split skin. In the blink of an eye, Holt was drenched in blood, presenting a horrifying sight.

But Holt was, after all, an S-class Superpower User. He would not be so easily killed. Countless silver-white threads surged out from his body, piercing into Big Black Fu's flesh like steel needles, attempting to turn it into his puppet.

Black Fu was not one to be trifled with. Seeing this, she smashed down "Heavenly Burial" directly onto Holt's head, followed by a violent "Spiritual Explosion."

Holt was hit so hard that he became disorientated and let out a furious roar from his throat. A strong desire to survive bloomed in his heart. At this point, he cared for nothing else and resorted to a self-harm strategy. A dreadful "Spirit Storm" exploded, damaging both himself and everyone caught in the blast.

"Come on, let's bet to see who dies first, you or me!"

Betting on life and death, to see who would have the last laugh?

Bai Fu laughed on the spot.

Not to mention that it was only Black Fu covered by the Spirit Storm, even if it were herself, she wouldn't be afraid of trading blow for blow.

Comparing durability? Could a broken Spiritual Ability User outlast my heavy-tank Fufu?

Since you want to bet, here's some more chips for you!

Without a word, Black Fu threw a "Dark Thorns" on the ground and a "Heavenly Falling Demon Gravel" into the sky. Then, a dozen Little Bai Fus rushed over from all directions like mad, exploding into a burst of fireworks as they approached.

This bizarre turn of events left Holt dumbfounded. What was Bai Fu doing? Did she think she wasn't dying fast enough?

He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have much time to ponder. From front to back, left, right, and above, every part of his body endured an unprecedented level of pain.
