Xun's Debut

"Hmph, then I'll see just how powerful you are, little brat." Hordy revealed a cruel smile. He had been frightened earlier, which left him with a shameful feeling of being fooled. "Chess, use your arm strength, which is ten times that of a human, to tell her that humans are nothing but an inferior race."

"Brother Hordy, isn't it a bit too much to make me deal with such a lowly race as humans?" A great white Fish-Man carrying Meteor Hammer said with a sneer, but his body language betrayed him as he stepped out from a large group of Fish-Man.

Even among monstrous races like Fish-Man, his size is absolutely striking.

The massive six-meter-tall body stood before Kaoru, truly like a small mountain, even blocking out the sunlight emanating from the Sun Tree Eve.

This incongruous scene terrified everyone watching, and many timid mermaids even closed their eyes in fear, unable to bear watching the cruel scene that was about to unfold.

"Little one, are all humans as skinny as you? My Meteor Hammer has smashed the heads of countless human pirates! You'd better pray you can run fast, otherwise, the scene that follows will be very bloody!"

Faced with his aggressive questioning, Xun frowned slightly, gently covered her mouth and nose with her small hand, and said softly, "Hey, big guy, can you stay away from me? You smell terrible. Are you some kind of uncivilized wild beast?"

Hearing Xun's disgusted words, Chess was stunned at first, then his ferocious face turned red, wisps of white mist rose from the top of his head, and he roared in fury, "You despicable human, how dare you humiliate me like this, I'll smash you into a meat pie!"

"Ah!" Seeing the terrifying Meteor Hammer smashing towards Xun's small body, all the mermaids couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. With Xun's small body, if she were to be hit by such a hammer, she probably wouldn't even be able to keep her intact body.

Although Body Technique have always been Kaoru's weakness, avoiding attacks from a weakling is not a problem.

After easily dodging Chess's Meteor Hammer, Xun lightly flicked her finger, and a milky white light fell on Chess.

Death Finger!

Chess's burly physique became withered and emaciated, like a shrunken garment. His hair turned white rapidly, and his skin lost its luster, as if he had aged decades in an instant.

Although Chess couldn't see the changes in his body, he could feel his energy and strength draining away. With a hoarse voice, he uttered his last words, "Help... help..."

Snap!

The dried-out corpses crashed to the ground, their skeletons making a crisp sound.

Both mermaids and Fish-Man stared in disbelief at the scene. The bizarre and gruesome deaths made their souls tremble, and they looked at Kaoru with the eyes of demons.

The crowd quickly retreated, and the area suddenly became empty.

"A... a monster! She's not human at all, she's a monster that devours flesh and blood!" the Fish-Man cried out in panic. The horrific way she died made them afraid to look Kaoru in the eye, as if a single glance from her would rip out their souls.

The mermaids looked at Kaoru with fear in their eyes. How could this little girl they pitied have turned into a great demon in the blink of an eye?

The fearful looks from others had no effect on Kaoru. Two years ago, she might have been troubled by it, but after following Roy for two years, she was no less determined than anyone else.

"Don't be afraid. The other party is just a lowly human with special abilities. In front of us supreme Fish-Man, they are simply no match for us." Hordy encouraged others while also cheering himself up, after all, that bizarre way of dying had frightened him quite a bit.

Hordy's encouragement did have some effect, and the panicked looks in the other Fish-Man' eyes finally calmed down a little.

"There's only one enemy, let's charge in together!" Hordy urged the other Fish-Man forward, while he secretly hid behind the swarm of fish.

"Kill!" Finally, some Fish-Man overcame their fear and charged forward in a pincer movement.

"The captain once said that being kind to others is being cruel to yourself, so you might as well all die!" An invisible wave radiated rapidly in all directions from Kaoru as the center, and the Fish-Man surrounded her rained down on the ground, unable to even get close to Kaoru.

The thugs of Fish-Man District were a motley crew to begin with, and after experiencing such a terrifying scene, they had no courage to step forward. They huddled up like quails.

"I understand!" Hordy suddenly had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed with great joy, "Everyone only experienced that strange situation after getting close to you. As long as we use ranged attacks, we can counter your ability."

Hordy pulled out a large-caliber Fire Pistol from his person, pointed it at Kaoru, and grinned maliciously. "Hehe, this is a firearm that was taken from you human pirates. Dying on your sinful weapons is the best funeral for you!"

He no longer possessed the commanding presence he once had. Fearing that delay might lead to unforeseen changes, he didn't even wait for Xun's reply before pulling the trigger without hesitation.

But his smile quickly froze on his face. The bullet, which was beyond human vision, fell helplessly to the ground after getting close to Kaoru, just like their previous attack scene.

"How could this be?" Hordy cried out in despair, clutching his head.

"Bullets have lives too!" Kaoru's playful explanation was more terrifying to the Fish-Man than the devil's sneer.

"Although I don't know why you suddenly came to me, Brother Roy once said that a dead enemy is the best enemy, so I'd rather you die quietly."

"Roy?" Hordy was taken aback. Then, recalling what she had said about the Phantom Sword Pirates, he finally snapped out of his daze and shouted in a fit of rage, "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding... Ah!"

"Huh? What did he just say?" Facing the group of Fish-Man who had turned into dried fish, Kaoru tilted her head in confusion, then clapped her hands and said indifferently, "Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Hey, mermaid lady, thanks to these kind people, I'm finally hungry again! Can I have one of each of the two dishes?" Kaoru said happily as she turned around.

"Ah... ah! Oh!" The mermaid was still in a daze, completely unexpected that the group of vicious rebels had been wiped out so easily, and by such a "cute" little girl. They must have died with their eyes wide open in disbelief!

The other mermaids didn't feel any sense of sorrow or grievance over the destruction of Hordy's group. After all, they despised the existence of Fish-Man District, and they would only applaud their defeat.

But their bizarre deaths and the little girl's strength still left a deep impression on them.

"Are all humans such a powerful monstrous race? A little girl of about ten years old wiped out Hordy's entire gang. No wonder those big shots are saying that we must conclude a peace treaty with humans."

These were their inner thoughts. And what exactly was this Phantom Sword Pirates that the little girl had mentioned? How could a mere girl on board be so powerful? Were the entire crew monsters?
