Free Web NovelChapter 1664: Chapter 1666: Instant Kill
While Lu Xiaobu was talking to the merchant, a group of people was waiting not far away.
"Five Brother, didn’t the boss send us out to solve the problem? Why aren’t we going yet?"
A black market underling kept his eyes on the confrontation about to unfold and asked the leader of this operation.
"What’s the rush? Let them fight first! Once that kid’s beaten down, I’ll step in!" The black market’s fifth in command sneered while chewing a grass stem, "The boss is ridiculous, asking me to babysit these three brats, treating me like a nanny."
The underling could only offer a bitter smile, not daring to respond.
He thought for a moment and then said, "If someone dies, it’ll be a mess!"
"Someone dies? What do you mean someone dies? You’re overthinking!" The Fifth Brother rolled his eyes and said, "That guy is a merchant, a merchant who operates in the city, you think he wouldn’t know the rules here? He won’t go for the kill."
"But, what if..." The underling wanted to say more.
"I know what you’re about to say." The Fifth Brother impatiently interrupted, "Use your brain! Both sides are at the Golden Core Stage, one group has only three people, the other has three times that number and more, many are at the Golden Core Late Stage, do you really think those three brats could turn around and kill people?"
"But..." The underling opened his mouth again.
"Enough, stop babbling. I’m going to lie down for a bit, you keep an eye out, let me know when it’s time." The Fifth Brother leisurely leaned back and closed his eyes.
"Five Brother! There’s a dead person!" The underling shouted urgently, his face filled with anxiety.
"What!?" The Fifth Brother shot up, "Damn it, has Yu Jiao gone mad killing people in the city?!"
This time he was panicking, if the boss’s mission wasn’t handled properly, he would be in big trouble!
However.
He took a closer look.
And suddenly, his blood ran cold!
The one dead was not the three brats they were supposed to protect, but the slave merchant—Yu Jiao’s person!
What happened?!
What exactly occurred?!
His question had just arisen when it was answered with immediate action!
Fast!
It was just fast!
So fast that he could only see a blur!
The shadow flashed by, rushing into Yu Jiao’s crowd, wherever the shadow went, the heads of those passed had holes appear!
A hole through the head!
"Underlings..."
The Fifth Brother panicked!
He opened his mouth to shout.
They couldn’t kill anymore, if so many corpses appeared in the city, especially from Yiji Mansion, not even the boss could suppress it!
However.
His call for restraint had barely reached three words.
He saw the usually arrogant Yu Jiao now with eyes full of terror, regret, disbelief, slowly collapsing on the ground.
"Bang!"
Simultaneously, all the bodies fell with a thud, blood forming streams mixed with white matter flowing out.
And on the scene, only the three people called brats by the Fifth Brother remained!
Instant kill of over a dozen at the Golden Core Stage!
"Mercy!"
At this point, the Fifth Brother finally shouted his last word!
But now, he was no longer concerned about Yu Jiao’s life, he began to worry for his own!
Would he also be silenced?
So, in a hurry he said, "Guest, I’m from the black market! I was sent by our boss!"
While speaking, he looked at Lu Xiaobu with fright!
He was only Golden Core Late Stage!
And just like him, several at that stage were already lying on the ground!
How could he not be afraid!
This person, so terrifying!
"I know, you can handle this, right?" Lu Xiaobu pointed to the heap on the ground calmly.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
The Fifth Brother’s voice raised eight pitches!
No matter if he actually could or not, he had to say he could right now!
Otherwise, he would be deemed useless!
A useless person, might be silenced, who could guarantee otherwise!
"That’s good!"
Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and walked away!
One had to admit, the skills of cultivators in this world were quite impressive!
Earlier, when he was at the Golden Core Early Stage, he had to use additional means—battle armor—against Hu Nanshan’s group.
But just now, not to mention battle armor, he didn’t even use his highest speed, just certain techniques learned at Hengqin Academy enabled him to instantly kill those at Golden Core Late Stage.
Of course, it was also due to a significant oversight by these people.
Back then Hu Nanshan and the others seriously intended to kill him, and now, though he had killed two, those remaining hadn’t reacted yet!
With enemies completely unprepared, he could instantly kill even a wounded Nascent Soul Stage, let alone these at Golden Core Stage!
Lu Xiaobu left, and the Fifth Brother, looking at the field of corpses, was left with a bitter face!
"Hey, go notify the boss!" The Fifth Brother shook his head with a bitter smile, helplessly instructing the already frightened underling beside him.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The underling nodded like mumbling in a dream, then turned and ran.
Soon, the black market boss who had spoken a lot with Lu Xiaobu before—Sao Bao—came rushing over.
Upon arrival, he immediately kicked the Fifth Brother, angrily scolding, "You pig! Stupid pig! Arrogant fool!"
The Fifth Brother hung his head and remained silent.
He had nothing to say.
Things had developed to this point, it was indeed largely his responsibility.
After a moment of silence, the Fifth Brother difficultly opened his mouth, "Boss, I admit it’s my fault! But, as it stands, let’s not get involved!"
So many people dead, not only Yiji Mansion but even the City Guard Army would surely want accountability.
The black market couldn’t bear such tremendous pressure!
However, Sao Bao didn’t directly answer his question, instead looking at the bodies on the ground with surprisingly excited eyes and asked, "I heard these were instantly killed by that person?"
"Yes, instant kills! The speed was so fast! Was too fast I could only see remnants!" The Fifth Brother recalled the scene earlier and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.
"I see! Notify the housekeeper of Yiji Mansion and the City Lord, I want to meet them!" Excitement grew more intense in Sao Bao’s eyes, "Also, remember, these were not killed by those three people earlier, but by a group of fugitives, got it?"
"Boss, you... you’re..."
The Fifth Brother was dumbfounded.
The boss was determined to protect those three people!
To face off against the City Lord Mansion and Yiji Mansion simultaneously for them?!
Was the boss out of his mind?
"Don’t worry about these matters, just do as I say!" Sao Bao shook his head, speaking earnestly.
He knew Lu Xiaobu was powerful, but didn’t expect him to be so immensely strong!
It seemed this time, their business deal would surely be successful!
For the seed, preserving Lu Xiaobu was worth it!
