Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 256: Baiting
"Ke." There was a cough of blood that came from the leader of the mercenary group before he looked down to find...
There was now a sword that was stabbing through his chest where his heart was.
His eyes opened wide when he saw this sword and the blood that dripped from it.
With the last bit of strength, he turned around to look at me as if he had been betrayed, but I didn’t feel any guilt at all as I just calmly looked at him with a smile.
"I said that I would spare you, but I never said that anyone else will." I said in a calm voice as if it wasn’t my problem at all.
"You...you shameless...liar..."
Those were the last words that the leader of the mercenary group said before collapsing to the ground in a pool of his own blood.
Gao Fu Shuai who had landed the final blow flicked his sword to get rid of the blood that was on it before turning around to say, "Young master, it is done."
I gave a simple nod to him before saying, "Good job."
These were the orders that I had given him before we headed out.
I had told them all about my suspicions and they had agreed to go along with this plan to trick the information out of these mercenaries.
Even if it seemed a bit shameless, they had agreed to it in the end.
The only worry that I had now was...
"Good job, junior brother. Scum like that didn’t deserve to live in this world." Senior Brother Yue said with a wide smile on his face as he patted me on the shoulder.
The other senior brothers and sisters all seemed to support what I did as well.
It seemed that none of them had any objections to tricking the leader of the mercenary group like this.
But then again, they were the ones that had suffered at his hands earlier.
The grudge that they had must be quite deep still.
Well, as long as they were happy, it didn’t matter.
So I just simply said, "Let’s go. It’s not good to stay here any longer or else the beasts will arrive soon."
The senior brothers and sisters nodded in agreement, but Senior Brother Yue still asked, "Shouldn’t we at least burn some of the bodies? It’s too much of a mess here, so there will be a lot of spirit beasts gathered. It might..."
I shook my head and cut him off by saying, "It’s better to let them suffer. If it causes such a large commotion, there won’t be anyone who will dare to come."
In the end, the senior brothers and sisters nodded in agreement before following our group away.
...
"Damn, I thought that they would never leave."
There was a bloody body that suddenly got up off the ground.
This body had flesh that was burnt and blisters that were bleeding from the burning flesh, but it didn’t seem like it felt a single thing with the way that it stood up.
This was one of the mercenaries who had been baptized by Mu Bao Bao’s pink flames and had been lying on the ground like he was dead.
But now he was standing like nothing was wrong with him.
Even though it looked like he was seriously injured, he stood there like he was completely fine.
The one strange thing about him was that...his eyes had completely turned red.
It wasn’t that just his pupils were red, but every part of his eyes had turned red as if they had filled with blood.
At the same time, the blood that was on his skin seemed to harden until it formed a layer of blood armour around him.
This person turned into a person covered in blood in an instant.
However, they didn’t seem to do anything as they just stood there.
He just twisted and turned his body all of a sudden as if he was stretching himself out as he stood there.
Finally, after a bit of stretching, the bloody person looked down at the corpses that were on the ground to say, "I have to admit that I never expected someone from a righteous sect to be this bloodthirsty and vicious."
Then he suddenly revealed a smile as he said, "However, this is something that can be used. As long as I spread rumours about that person, there is no doubt that the Star Peak Sect’s fame will be ruined."
"Rumours about who?"
"Rumours about that vicious kid of course." The bloody person replied to this voice without thinking before suddenly realizing that something was off.
When that bloody person turned around, he was shocked to find that there was a familiar face behind him.
It was the face of the one that had commanded everything.
The one that had thrown the leader of this mercenary group in despair.
It was Lin Fan.
"It seems like I was right to leave some bait behind. I knew that there had to be someone who was controlling things from behind the scenes." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The bloody person trembled the moment that he heard this, but there was no hesitation in his actions when he suddenly started to...run.
He didn’t hesitate at all to turn in the opposite direction of Lin Fan and started to run with all his might.
It was just that...there were already people waiting there for him.
He had thought that he was safe, but it turned out that he was completely surrounded.
So the only thing that he could do was try to fight his way out.
The blood that had hardened on the surface of his skin suddenly started to move before they formed blood spikes where his hands were.
It was just that this bloody person wasn’t a match for the disciples of the Star Peak Sect.
There was a reason why he had used these mercenaries to take down the disciples of the Star Peak Sect in the first place.
It only took a single stab of Senior Brother Yue’s spear to shatter these blood spike hands and pierce the bloody person in the shoulder. This spear carried the bloody person through the air before pinning them on the ground in front of Lin Fan.
