248. Chapter 248: Uproar! Stormfront's Death!
"Shit!" Seeing Mr. Jervis about to catch up to her, Stormfront couldn't help but curse.
"I don't think I've offended you, have I? Is this really necessary? Why don't we sit down and talk properly?"
The current situation was exactly like when she was being hunted a year ago, but back then Homelander saved her. Now, however, she couldn't spare the time to contact Homelander. She could only try to stall for time while flying towards Vought Headquarters.
"Is that so? I seem to recall someone once calling me a yellow-skinned monkey." Behind Xia Shang, several flesh tentacles instantly shot out, piercing towards Stormfront like sharp arrows.
"Damn it! Not this monstrous stuff again!" Having learned from her previous experience, Stormfront immediately manipulated lightning, setting up an electric net around her body. Once the invisible tentacles touched the electric net, Stormfront could adjust her position in time.
The two moved at high speed in the sky like this.
At their speed, ordinary humans couldn't capture them with the naked eye; at most, they could see two black dots flashing by.
As it was noon, under the scorching sunlight, the lightning summoned by Stormfront was practically unnoticeable.
"Did I say something wrong? Aren't you just a monkey with superpowers?" Since Mr. Jervis didn't want to let her go, Stormfront simply tore off the pretense and cursed back.
In response, Xia Shang didn't respond. Instead, he slightly raised his head.
His eyes turned a deep purple, and the next second, two intensely concentrated purple light beams shot out abruptly! Stormfront, sensing the fatal danger, urgently flew upwards. Unfortunately, her reaction speed was still slightly slower compared to the speed of light! *Rip!!*
The deep purple heat vision directly severed her ankle, and the high temperature accompanying it conveniently stopped the blood flow for Stormfront.
The intense pain nearly caused Stormfront to faint, but she knew that if she slowed down even slightly, only death would await her! "I didn't expect your survival instinct to be quite tenacious." How could Xia Shang let her leave?
At this moment, he had pushed his psychic power to the extreme. In an instant, it was as if an invisible strength was propelling him in flight.
At the same time, his body also began to twist and expand. Three engine roars echoed within him simultaneously. His originally somewhat upright face gradually cracked open like a spider web, with every scarlet crack seemingly flowing with extremely high-temperature molten lava.
In the blink of an eye.
He appeared beside Stormfront, turning his head to look at her.
"Stop struggling. Just die." Xia Shang, wearing Homelander's face, grinned ferociously and extended his left hand, grabbing Stormfront's right arm. *Tear!* A handful of fresh blood instantly splattered into the air, and the torn-off arm fell downwards!
"You should be grateful that it was me who killed you."
In the source material, Stormfront was attacked by Queen Maeve and others, then had her legs severed by Homelander's son, Ryan, with his laser eye. She eventually lay in a hospital bed, biting off her tongue in despair to commit suicide.
Thinking of the combat scene between those women, Xia Shang almost wanted to laugh. It was practically no different from Hooligans fighting on the Street.
"Go to hell." Three pairs of eyes suddenly opened on either side of Xia Shang's cheek. In an instant, eight beams of heat vision shot out simultaneously! Stormfront was only grazed by two of them, yet in the unparalleled pain, she lost her right leg. At this point, her consciousness was already hazy. If it weren't for the conviction in her heart to see Homelander one last time, she probably would have fainted long ago.
"Got you." Xia Shang's right arm had, at some point, transformed into invisible tentacles, wrapping around Stormfront's waist.
"Are you doing this to make the public think Homelander killed me?"
Stormfront, lifted by Xia Shang's tentacles, forced her eyes open and spoke in a weak voice.
"Congratulations, you guessed correctly."
Xia Shang pulled her in front of him and grabbed her head with his hand.
"Look at me. Let me end your life." Two beams of heat vision instantly burned through Stormfront's eyes. A few seconds later, the heat vision passed through her skull and shot into the sky behind her.
[Congratulations, Player, you have killed a major character from the source material, gaining 1500 fantasy value.]
[Current fantasy value: 9520]
Looking at Stormfront, who had completely lost her life signs in his hand, Xia Shang's expression gradually returned to calm. He slowly released his grip, allowing Stormfront's corpse to fall from high altitude.
In less than half a minute.
A heavy object crashed down, smashing a large pit into the ground. Although Stormfront was dead, her physical strength had not changed.
Just like the deceased Translucent, she still maintained the same body strength she had while alive.
At this time, a group of black people were engaged in looting. Just as they were happily shopping, a loud sound from outside the door startled them.
They thought someone had fired a gun.
Subconsciously, they covered their heads with their hands and squatted down.
"Why aren't the Police here yet?" After waiting for about ten seconds, they weren't handcuffed as they expected, so they bravely moved towards the direction of the sound. After they walked out of the store, they saw Stormfront's corpse by the roadside.
"Holy crap! Don't tell me that sound just now came from this thing." One of the black people swallowed, approaching Stormfront's remains.
Although Stormfront's corpse was a bloody mess at this point, the suit she wore looked extremely familiar to the black person.
When he remembered who it was.
As if he had seen a ghost, he stumbled back a few steps, then sat down on the ground, his voice trembling, "Guys, I must be crazy."
"Is it that big of a deal? It's just a Woman's corpse, it's not that rare."
His accomplice, seeing him like this, couldn't help but mock him.
"Exactly, Wei Kesi, you're too timid. No wonder you never get as much loot as I do."
"Look at the clothes she's wearing," Wei Kesi said, his legs shaking uncontrollably from fright.
"Clothes?" Wei Kesi's companion walked towards Stormfront's corpse. When he saw the gruesome state of the corpse, he couldn't help but frown. "Which pervert did this? It's absolutely insane."
"Cl... clothes... Storm... Storm!" One of them went weak in the legs and sat on the ground, his finger pointing continuously at the corpse in front of him.
"What kind of Storm?"
The leading black person suddenly reacted. He widened his eyes and stammered, "You... don't tell me this corpse is... is Vought's Superhero, Stormfront from The Seven."
Soon, with the sound of police sirens, a large number of police officers got out of their cars, pulled up caution tape, and sealed off the scene.
The black people who were looting earlier were also taken to the Police Department for questioning, not one missing.
For a time, Stormfront's death caused an uproar!
