"Ahhhh! Ahhh! Why! Why!"
The scene was ablaze with towering flames. Yujin's Sharingan shone like a cold, merciless mirror, reflecting the inferno of vengeance he had ignited with his own hands.
Trapped within the sea of fire, Da Qiang thrashed desperately. His body bent under the scorching heat, muscles twitching violently from the unbearable agony.
The flames licked at him without mercy, charring his skin black. Fat and muscle began to melt, releasing the nauseating stench of burning flesh.
For the first time, he regretted choosing the Toguro Enhancement.
If not for this cursed power, he would not be suffering such amplified torment.
"Why are you so cruel to me! Why…"
Da Qiang's muscles contracted and stiffened from the heat.
His tongue was swallowed by fire, robbing him of speech.
His eyes dried out, sight slipping into darkness.
His body's vitality waned.
"Why?"
Dodging Freddy's strikes, Yujin laughed wildly. "For the things you've done, God itself will punish you!"
"Die!"
Da Qiang's trembling teeth chattered uncontrollably, producing a harsh rattling sound. His knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, no longer able to resist.
At last, the fire consumed him completely, leaving behind a half-kneeling husk of charred remains.
"Mmm."
Yujin let out a strange moan.
In this cycle of reincarnation, nothing felt more exhilarating than personally watching his hated enemy die in such torment.
Even if vengeance meant putting himself in grave danger.
Freddy's shadow slipped through the night like a phantom. At the climax of the chase, it finally caught up to Yujin.
Its claws rose high, poised to deliver a fatal strike to the reincarnator who had dared mock it.
As the voice of the Lord God echoed in his mind, the vengeance-sated Yujin stood frozen for a brief instant.
But at that critical moment, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes locking with Freddy's!
There was no trace of fear in his eyes, only unwavering determination and resolve.
Was this really the reaction of a normal person facing Freddy?!
The two tomoe in Yujin's Sharingan began to spin, faster and faster, until after several rotations, they suddenly transformed into three tomoe.
Da Qiang's death had forced Yujin to awaken the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
At the same time, the tip of the third tomoe grew into a scorpion's tail hook, just like the first two.
Those eyes—even without unleashing any ocular techniques—stabbed like invisible needles the moment one met his gaze, leaving a searing pain deep within the eyes.
Staring into the eyes of this reincarnator, Freddy froze for an instant.
His claw hovered in midair.
In a daze, Freddy suddenly found himself back at home.
"Freddy! Come out and face your death!!!"
"Beast!"
"You're not human! You don't deserve to live in this world!"
The curses poured in through the windows like crashing waves, filling Freddy with overwhelming dread.
The townsfolk had gathered outside his yard on their own. Since the law could not punish him, they would deliver justice themselves.
Freddy scrambled onto his bed, curling tightly beneath the blanket, trembling as he covered his ears.
He didn't dare face those furious eyes, those condemning voices.
He was a pervert—but not a bold one.
He only dared torment helpless children in the dark.
But when it came to facing adults, he was nothing more than a coward.
Surrounded by so many enraged townspeople, he felt a fear unlike anything he had ever known, his body shuddering uncontrollably.
Suddenly, the sharp sound of shattering glass rang out!
Freddy curled up even tighter beneath the blanket.
Whoosh—
He caught a faint whiff of smoke, the acrid scent of burning.
Mustering his courage, he peeked one eye out from under the blanket, gazing through the tiny gap at his room.
He stared in horror as his home burned before his eyes.
Flames rose like the tongues of demons, greedily devouring every corner.
The fire spread quickly into Freddy's room, the heat and smoke choking the air from his lungs.
Screaming, he crawled out from under the blanket, desperate to escape the inferno.
But the flames moved like a living beast, chasing him, closing in from all sides.
The agony sent Freddy rolling across the ground as fire consumed his body, his skin blackening, releasing a nauseating stench.
Freddy's eyes snapped open!
He was stunned to realize he hadn't been burned alive at all—everything he had just experienced was an illusion.
Pulling the kunai from his chest, he turned toward the distant fleeing figure, gritting his teeth as he gave chase.
Yujin, nearly drained of strength, felt the murderous intent closing in behind him.
He clenched his fists and beat his feathered wings with all his might, cursing as he flew.
"This guy's mental strength is ridiculous! Even my Three Tomoe Sharingan barely fazes him!"
Yujin could feel his chakra running dangerously low.
That massive composite jutsu he had just used to burn Da Qiang alive—he wouldn't be able to pull it off again.
Glancing back at the frenzied Freddy, Yujin gave a bitter laugh and mockingly repeated Da Qiang's final words.
"Stop chasing me, brother, I'm begging you! Damn it!"
"What the—this is insane!"
While Yujin hunted down Da Qiang earlier, Zhang Jie, Zheng Zha, and Zhao Yingkong had moved in unison, following closely behind.
The moment they saw the blaze lighting up half the sky, Zhang Jie swallowed hard.
For a split second, he even wanted to crack a joke.
If this were Nightmare on Elm Street, he'd pick Yujin to be the final boss.
Forget Freddy.
Yujin was the real nightmare.
The sheer scale of that inferno left all three of them speechless.
What shocked them even more was this.
Not long after, Yujin's figure appeared from around the corner of the street! He was being chased by Freddy, sprinting toward the other side of the road.
In terms of speed, Da Qiang could never shake Yujin off. And Yujin's hatred wouldn't allow him to give up the chase either.
That could only mean one thing. Yujin had already burned Da Qiang to death!
Burned alive in that raging fire just moments ago!
Who could have imagined that Yujin would endure the crushing pressure of Freddy's pursuit, and still manage to kill Da Qiang right before Freddy's eyes?
"That's just too ruthless!" Zheng Zha wiped the sweat from his face, his voice trembling.
"Does Captain Yujin have some grudge with that muscle-bound guy? Aren't we all reincarnators, with the same goals?" Zheng Zha's voice was filled with confusion and disbelief. He turned toward Zhang Jie, hoping for an answer.
Zhang Jie swallowed hard again, struggling to steady his emotions before slowly speaking. "You two… really joined at the right time."
"What do you mean?" Zheng Zha frowned in puzzlement.
"When Yujin was still a newcomer, he was torn apart by Da Qiang and two other vicious teammates."
Zhang Jie revealed the truth about the so-called "Farming Team" to Zhao Yingkong and Zheng Zha.
Zheng Zha patted his chest in lingering fear. "So if Yujin hadn't killed those two members of the Farming Team back in Alien, and then finished off Da Qiang here in Nightmare on Elm Street, we would've been the next ones to suffer—turned into livestock for point farming experiments."
Zhao Yingkong's icy gaze flickered slightly after hearing about Yujin's past. But as she watched Yujin vanish into the distance, dragging Freddy with him, the coldness in her eyes quickly returned.
