Yama Reborn-Chapter 510 - 507: I Want Her to Live Forever

Chapter 507: "I Want Her to Live Forever"

Yun Yin looked at Niveer with a calm expression but suddenly let out a gentle sigh.

"Child, I was killing people before you were even born. Take out the knife you’re hiding behind your back."

At her words, both Niveer and Li Yingwan were shocked!

After all, in this timeline, Niveer and Li Yingwan were not yet the infamous Underground World female assassins Hummingbird and Firefly.

One was a sporty beauty who loved extreme sports; the other, a long-legged girl from Goryeo with a slightly paranoid personality.

As for killing, had they ever truly done such a thing?

After Xicheng Xun’s stern warning, and because Chen Nuo’s life was at stake, they had clenched their teeth and come here. Now, after Yun Yin had seen through them with a single sentence, the courage they had mustered instantly deflated.

Niveer stammered, "Who, who said anything about killing? You..."

Yun Yin looked at her coldly and shook her head. "You don’t seem very good at lying. When you two approached me, your steps were heavy, your faces tense, and your eyes were darting about. You have a knife hidden in your hand behind your back; your arm is too rigid, muscles all tensed. You’re not going to tell me you brought a knife to peel an apple for me on the spot, are you?"

It was Li Yingwan, with a temperament even more radical than Niveer’s, who instead blurted out, "Xicheng Xun said that if we kill you, Chen Nuo and the others might be able to defeat that formidable enemy! That guy is going to kill Chen Nuo today!"

Niveer looked at Yun Yin with confusion. "Sun Keke, that person wants to kill Chen Nuo, and you’re not worried at all? How can you still sit here by the lake?"

Yun Yin shook her head. "He wants to kill Chen Nuo. Why should I worry?"

"So... so... so you’re not Sun Keke!" Li Yingwan shouted. "Even though I don’t know what’s going on, you’re definitely not Sun Keke! I know that Sun Fatso too well. If Chen Nuo so much as lost a single strand of hair, she’d be worried sick!"

Yun Yin did not answer this question but instead asked, "Since you came here to kill me, to corner me, what are you waiting for?"

As she spoke, she even beckoned to the two girls with a hooked finger.

Niveer and Li Yingwan exchanged a look. Niveer gritted her teeth. "What do we... do?"

Li Yingwan, however, suddenly adopted a fierce expression—true to her nature as someone who, after a past-life catastrophe, had become a paranoid fanatic. Having made her decision, she seemed even more ruthless.

"If she doesn’t die, Chen Nuo will! And... she’s not even Sun Keke! What are you hesitating for?"

Li Yingwan shouted fiercely, "If you’re afraid, give me the knife!"

With that, the long-legged girl actually snatched the knife from Niveer’s hand and advanced on Yun Yin, knife in hand.

Though her words were tough, she was, after all, still a girl who had never done anything truly excessive. Speaking loudly was merely to bolster her own courage.

Her first two steps towards Yun Yin were filled with momentum, but by the third, panic set in. She gripped the knife tightly, yet her wrist refused to lift.

This was the psychology of an ordinary person.

An ordinary person with normal values and personality—how could they actually commit murder?

As a line from a movie goes: Even if killing weren’t illegal, one still couldn’t bring oneself to do it.

Li Yingwan approached Yun Yin, her hand holding the knife still unable to strike. Instead, reacting on instinct, she spread her arms to grab Yun Yin.

A very simple thought crossed her mind: Stabbing someone with a knife was beyond her, but no matter what, she had to grab her first, subdue her, and then figure out the rest.

Having rarely even fought in her life, her clumsy attempt to grab Yun Yin failed; how could she possibly restrain her?

Yun Yin sidestepped slightly, and Li Yingwan hugged empty air.

Seeing Li Yingwan make a move, Niveer didn’t hesitate, throwing a hook punch at Yun Yin.

Niveer’s strike was far more professional than Li Yingwan’s. As an athletic enthusiast, she had some boxing training, and her stance was textbook.

Yun Yin snorted, ducked her head to dodge, then moved to Niveer’s side and tapped a point on Niveer’s elbow sharply with her finger.

Niveer immediately felt half her arm go numb and saw Yun Yin’s palm already pressing against her chest.

Niveer felt a jolt, a dull ache in her chest, and stumbled back with a grunt.

Yun Yin shook her head, looking at her own palm. "Although my strength hasn’t recovered, dealing with you two is still no problem."

Nearby, Li Yingwan had already screamed and lunged for Yun Yin’s hair from behind.

Yun Yin turned her head, and an elbow strike landed on Li Yingwan’s shoulder. Half of Li Yingwan’s body went numb, and she staggered back, falling. The knife in her hand also clattered to the ground.

Niveer had already scrambled up and lunged again, throwing hooks and jabs, but couldn’t land a single blow. Instead, Yun Yin slapped her on the back, sending her sprawling to the ground.

Yun Yin bent down, picked up the knife from the ground, weighed it in her hand, and with a sneer, walked towards Niveer, knife raised high, ready to strike!

But suddenly, her advance was checked; Li Yingwan, still on the ground, had grabbed her ankle with both hands.

"Niveer! Get up!!" Li Yingwan yelled.

Before Niveer could scramble up, Yun Yin sent Li Yingwan flying with a kick!

The long-legged girl was kicked in the chest and rolled away, immediately spitting blood.

Only one thought echoed in her mind! Sun Keke... how did she become so powerful?!

Yun Yin sneered, looked at the two girls, then, knife in hand, walked towards Niveer.

Niveer, facing her as if a formidable enemy, panted as she watched Yun Yin.

Yun Yin shook her head. "You two are too weak. However, killing you would surely break Chen Nuo’s heart."

Saying this, she sneered and thrust the knife forward.

Niveer felt the blade draw nearer and nearer. She retreated repeatedly but couldn’t dodge it.

Just as the blade was about to reach her chest...

Suddenly, Yun Yin’s movement paused!

The hand holding the knife abruptly pulled back.

Even her steps faltered; the advancing foot suddenly dragged backward as if nailed to the ground.

This sudden change made Yun Yin stumble, her body nearly toppling. In desperation, she slapped her palm against the ground to push herself back up.

Once steady, her expression was odd.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Yin gritted her teeth and once again raised the knife to go after Niveer.

This time, as her right foot stepped forward, her left foot simultaneously took a step back—she nearly ended up in a split.

Yun Yin snorted angrily. "What’s going on!"

Looking at Niveer and Li Yingwan, she demanded, "Which one of you used spiritual power on me?"

The two girls were utterly dumbfounded, one coughing up blood and the other gasping for air, both clueless as to what Yun Yin was talking about.

At that moment, Yun Yin’s expression changed drastically. The knife in her right hand suddenly reversed its blade, the tip aimed at her own chest, and plunged down fiercely!

Yun Yin’s expression darkened. Her left hand shot out, grasping her right wrist, the two hands struggling against each other!

Meanwhile, Yun Yin’s facial expression shifted several times before she suddenly turned her head and roared at the two girls.

"Don’t just stand there! Run, Li Yingwan!! You can’t beat her!"

Li Yingwan exclaimed, "Huh?"

But in an instant, the long-legged girl understood. "It’s Sun Keke! This is the real Sun Keke!"

Niveer’s face also changed.

Sun Keke, looking panicked, exclaimed, "Run! Run! She’s too strong!"

But then, her expression changed again, her tone and demeanor returning to that of Yun Yin. "Hmph, I knew this consciousness was hiding all along!"

Her left hand twisted forcefully, and her right hand could no longer grip the knife, and it fell.

Just as the knife was about to hit the ground, she kicked it with the tip of her foot, kicking the short knife up, which her left hand snatched!

Yun Yin snorted, grasping the knife in her left hand, and without hesitation, she unhesitatingly stabbed her own right shoulder!

As blood gushed out, her tone and expression again changed to Sun Keke’s, and she let out a painful scream.

This immobilized her right hand. Yun Yin, with a cold face, marched towards Niveer.

After a couple of steps, her left foot dragged back, planting itself firmly on the ground, refusing to move!

Yun Yin was furious. She took a deep breath and, pushing off with her right foot, leaped from the ground, lunging at Niveer.

Niveer retreated quickly, but Yun Yin’s pounce caught part of her body; fortunately, the knife went wide.

Niveer turned the tables, grappling with Yun Yin, and they rolled on the ground a few times.

Yun Yin was stronger but handicapped by an injured arm, unable to subdue Niveer with one hand.

Meanwhile, Niveer gripped Yun Yin’s left hand, resisting fiercely.

Yun Yin snorted and, with a strand of Spiritual Telekinesis, tried to forcefully bind Niveer’s body.

But just as this trace of spiritual power was about to coalesce, it abruptly dissipated!

Yun Yin roared in anger, "Are you insisting on opposing me?"

Sun Keke shouted back, "You want to kill my friends!"

"They want to kill me! If I die, you’ll die too!"

"You want to harm Chen Nuo! Then just die! I’m not afraid of death!"

"You... idiot!"

At this point, Niveer had pounced onto Yun Yin, both hands squeezing Yun Yin’s left wrist. Finding herself outmatched in strength, Niveer suddenly bit down hard!

Biting onto Yun Yin’s left wrist, Yun Yin cried out in pain and involuntarily loosened her grip; the knife dropped to the side.

She snorted, then suddenly lifted her elbow, striking Niveer in the face.

The poor athletic girl reeled from the blow, her head buzzing, feeling dizzy, and was quickly flipped and pinned underneath Yun Yin.

At this moment, Li Yingwan finally crawled over and wrapped her arms around Yun Yin’s neck from behind. She clung to Yun Yin’s back like a koala.

The three girls became a tangled mess, rolling on the ground for several turns.

Finally, although Yun Yin possessed great abilities and superior combat awareness, Sun Keke’s physical body was too weak, preventing her from using her skills fully. Moreover, in the struggle with Sun Keke’s consciousness for control of the body, she had even disabled one of her own arms.

Now, she could only control one hand and one foot.

After rolling a few more times, the three separated. Li Yingwan and Niveer were both panting heavily. Yun Yin, limping, created some distance but was soon cornered by the two near the lake.

Niveer looked at Li Yingwan with a complicated expression, then at Yun Yin. "She..."

"Two consciousnesses, haven’t you figured it out yet?" Li Yingwan said irritably.

Niveer’s expression grew even more peculiar. "Multiple personalities? This... I’m familiar with this!"

Mr. Tree coldly glanced at Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi in the distance. With a wave of his hand, he erected a Mentality Barrier, keeping them away.

Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi’s expressions changed. Lu Xixi, carrying Chen Nuo, attempted to flash away multiple times but was consistently blocked by Mr. Tree’s Mentality Barrier.

"If you’re so eager to die together, then what are you doing just standing there?" Mr. Tree shook his head, his tone neutral. "I can let you die first, right in front of the man you love. That should be the result you want, right?"

Xicheng Xun’s face became even colder, but she nodded. "I would appreciate that, thank you!"

With that said, the swordswoman suddenly flipped over and leaped from the rooftop!

Her strength was actually quite formidable; after multiple breakthroughs and enhancements, her figure vanished in mid-air!

Mr. Tree chuckled. "Invisibility? A decent skill."

Then, he casually raised two fingers and pinched the air beside his left temple!

With a crisp sound, Xicheng Xun’s figure finally materialized, her Tachi blade caught between Mr. Tree’s fingertips.

Xicheng Xun, unfazed, immediately let go of the Tachi, and her figure vanished again.

Subsequently, while invisible, Xicheng Xun attacked Mr. Tree several more times. Mr. Tree, a smile on his face, simply flickered in place, evading her attacks.

The two fought, moving further and further away in the air, until they were dozens of meters from the building.

Mr. Tree suddenly made a hooking gesture, snatching Xicheng Xun by the neck and pulling her out of thin air.

Xicheng Xun trembled. She cast a distant glance at the anxious Chen Nuo, then closed her eyes, awaiting death.

Ah Xiu... I’ve tried my best to stall for time...

Suddenly, her body was violently thrown!

BANG! Xicheng Xun felt severe pain in her back as she was hurled onto the rooftop of the distant building.

Several concrete insulation panels shattered. Xicheng Xun was in so much pain that half her body was immobile; she didn’t know if she’d broken any bones.

Mr. Tree, however, was already standing before her, nodding at Xicheng Xun. "Not bad, quite the aptitude. You’re only fifteen or sixteen, aren’t you? To have such strength and resolve at this age, and your use of spiritual power is quite good as well. Excellent aptitude... You have the potential to be a Controller. I’ve changed my mind; I don’t want to kill you. Perhaps you can become my Chosen One. Since there can be a second one... maybe I can have a third one too. And... one of my current Chosen Ones is too weak. Perhaps... I can replace her with you."

As he spoke, he pointed at Xicheng Xun. Instantly, countless strands of Telekinesis wrapped around her, cocooning her like a silkworm.

After struggling for a few moments, Xicheng Xun’s head eventually tilted to the side, and she passed out.

Mr. Tree immediately turned, leaped into mid-air, and with a wave of his hand, the Mentality Barrier blocking Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi vanished completely!

He suddenly flashed to Lu Xixi’s side and grabbed her hand. Both vanished from the spot!

The next instant, Mr. Tree reappeared, but Lu Xixi was nowhere to be seen.

Looking at the enraged Chen Nuo, Mr. Tree shook his head. "I’ve sent her to Antarctica using Instantaneous Movement. I’ve set up a few Mentality Barriers for her; it will take her some time to break through and return."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo’s anger surprisingly vanished. He frowned in thought. "So... it looks like I’m as good as dead, right?"

"It seems so," Mr. Tree nodded. "I can’t imagine any way for you to escape me now."

After some serious thought, Chen Nuo nodded as well. "You’re right. It appears I really have no way out."

"You shouldn’t have held back when you used that ace move against me earlier," Mr. Tree shook his head. "That was foolish. Although I don’t know if you could have killed me at full power... you should have at least tried."

"If you had died, Lu Xixi would have died," Chen Nuo shook his head. "As long as you are alive, she can live."

Mr. Tree shook his head. "These human emotions of yours are really quite boring."

But Chen Nuo laughed strangely. "That’s why you creatures can’t understand. I’ve even wondered... if the reason your kind of spiritual life forms went extinct was precisely because you lack emotions. That might have made you vulnerable to that fatal flaw, to be wiped out by a so-called virus of Negative Emotion."

Mr. Tree didn’t argue. "That’s a valid line of thought. I’ll remember your suggestion and seriously consider this issue in the future. Now... Chen Nuo, do you have any last words?"

"Just one question to confirm," Chen Nuo asked earnestly. "You should be the strongest Seed now, right? Seed isn’t your match; he can’t kill you anymore, right?"

"...Yes."

"Good." Chen Nuo actually smiled. "Then, as long as you don’t die, Lu Xixi absolutely will not die. Is that right?"

"Correct."

"Then I guess I haven’t failed after all." Chen Nuo nodded in satisfaction. "You can kill me now; I won’t run or fight back. Make it quick, so I don’t suffer much. Let me tell you a secret: I’m actually quite afraid of pain."

Mr. Tree smiled. "As you wish."

Chen Nuo felt a mass of energy rushing towards him, and his vision gradually darkened...

Just as the suffocating darkness was about to engulf him...

All of a sudden, a sound like muffled thunder boomed in his ears, as if a hand had yanked him out of the darkness!

Following that, Chen Nuo clearly saw a scene that left him dumbfounded!

In the air, the curly-haired little boy appeared.

Then, he went straight up and grabbed Mr. Tree’s clothes!

He punched Mr. Tree right on the nose!

That punch exploded half of Mr. Tree’s head!

Mr. Tree’s head quickly twisted and writhed, regenerating instantly. But the curly-haired boy, a smile on his face, didn’t hesitate and punched again! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

One punch!

Two punches!

...

After the boy had smashed Mr. Tree’s head at least seven or eight times, Mr. Tree’s clothes were in tatters, and he finally fled frantically, dozens of meters away!

Then, his aura had clearly weakened considerably. Gasping for breath, he looked at the curly-haired boy in terror.

Mr. Tree let out an uncontrollable scream.

"Impossible! It can’t be!! Seed! How can you still overpower me?! I have two Chosen Ones! Two!! My strength should be double yours!!!"

Seed didn’t even pay attention to him, instead turning to look at Chen Nuo.

"You asked him if I was still his opponent, and he said I couldn’t beat him anymore. Sorry, that ignorant fool was wrong."

His dark eyes twinkled with a smile. "Chen Nuo, does this answer disappoint you?"

Chen Nuo’s mouth gaped open.

Only then did Seed turn to look at the disheveled Mr. Tree. "Now to answer your question... how could you think you could overpower me? That’s laughable. For the past ten thousand years, I’ve always been the strongest Seed. When everyone had only one Chosen One, I could beat all of you as easily as dogs! Have you forgotten?"

Mr. Tree was trembling all over. "But... but, I have two Cho—"

Seed laughed.

When he smiled, he showed a row of white teeth. "Two, eh..."

WHOOSH!

He instantly used Instantaneous Movement to appear before Mr. Tree, so close their noses were almost touching.

Then, he spoke the next part, word by word.

"Two, huh... I! Also! Have! Two!"

Chen Nuo heard this sentence, paused for a moment, then suddenly felt something and turned his head to look at the ground...

There on the ground, beside the flowerbed under that building.

A beautiful girl with clear Latin features sat there, chin in her hands, gazing up at Seed in the sky.

"Fox..."

Chen Nuo took a deep breath.

BOOM!!!

Mr. Tree was sent flying!

To be precise, half of him was sent flying!

Because Seed, with an innocent smile, had ripped Mr. Tree’s body in half with his bare hands!

One half of the body turned to ashes in his hand!

And the other half, after flying a distance, finally managed to reform.

But Mr. Tree’s aura plummeted once more!

"I’ll gladly take half of your Life Force, dear Tree."

Seed waved at Mr. Tree from afar. "Next time you recover, come look for my Chosen One again. It’s been so long since I had such a feast; I’m really looking forward to your next visit."

Mr. Tree gasped for breath and, quite decisively, vanished from mid-air.

PLOP.

After Chen Nuo landed on the ground, Seed also quickly came down.

Chen Nuo wanted to say something, but Seed ignored him, walking over to Fox first.

"Getting impatient?"

Fox frowned. "Looks like we’re going to miss the game time."

"Just one more minute, I promise," Seed said, scratching his head helplessly, then turned back to Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes. "So... you weren’t secretly watching all along, were you?"

"Yeah," Seed replied with a smile.

"...Why?" Chen Nuo sighed. "Do you enjoy watching your own Chosen One get thrashed? I can recommend a website with plenty of videos to satisfy that particular taste of yours."

Seed rolled his eyes. "Time is tight, and I need to get back to the game, so I’ll be quick and satisfy your curiosity."

Taking a deep breath, Seed quickly began,

"Yes, I have two Chosen Ones. This fact puzzles me too. Ever since you got me out of that Relic World, I discovered you’d become my Chosen One. But interestingly enough, I encountered her later on..."

He pointed to Fox. "I surprisingly discovered that I could actually have another Chosen One. As for why this is, I don’t know. Perhaps you understand better? Of course, there’s no reason for me to advertise something that can be used as a trump card for the whole world to know, right?"

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.

Seed continued,

"Yes, I was hiding and watching for a long time just now. It wasn’t because I enjoy watching you get abused—though, to be honest, I did find it quite amusing. But I genuinely don’t have such preferences. I was watching secretly because I first needed to confirm just how powerful that fellow had become with two Chosen Ones. I can tell you frankly, if I had found his strength surpassed mine, I wouldn’t have saved you. I would have immediately and quietly left, found a place to hide, sealed myself away, and slept for another ten thousand years. Fortunately, through your and Lu Xixi’s battle with him, I confirmed one thing: I am still the strongest. So... of course, I had to save you. After all, you are my Chosen One."

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes again. "Should I be thanking you?"

"You should say thank you."

"...Thank you."

Seed paused, glanced at Chen Nuo, and nodded. "Alright then, I’m heading back. That game is very important... I still have some questions for you... For example, how that guy managed to get two Chosen Ones."

"I have questions for you too. I’ve run into some trouble," Chen Nuo considered. "A friend of mine..."

"Let’s talk next time, after I watch the game," Seed waved dismissively and walked over to Fox.

"Wait a second!" Chen Nuo suddenly shouted. "Why her?"

When Chen Nuo asked the question, his gaze was fixed on Fox.

Seed smiled.

Then, a sentence silently entered Chen Nuo’s consciousness.

Seed disappeared with Fox.

Chen Nuo, with a strange expression, repeatedly savored the answer Seed had secretly conveyed to his consciousness.

"Because... I want her to live forever."
