Chapter 124 - Demonic Art of Explosion (2/2)
”And do not worry! The incense will not cause you to become drowsy, just the tiger will be. Now go and get me a tiger!”
Thanks to his constant training and use of Qi to strengthen bamboo sticks, Simon had reached a breakthrough point yet again. Unlike before, he was about to break through to the second stage of Nascent Soul, a smaller milestone that is important nonetheless. If he managed to break through before his troops came back, Simon would be able to fend off almost any Nascent Soul expert due to his superior firepower and gun mastery.
KACHA KACHA
the sound of a breakthrough rang throughout the forest, but not quite loud enough for the demonic sect's people to hear.
”1st Brother, the patriarch says that we will be attacking the enemy general's base at night. How can we be sure that the enemy General doesn't already expect us to do this? He may have already predicted this very discussion! I am scared… I have never been this scared before…”
”Yesterday, I sent a team of disciples to scout out the river area but they were all killed so quickly that I am made to believe that the general can read our thoughts! We cannot fight someone like him, I suggest we leave before we end up like half of our sect. At least we can rebuild. The patriarch might die in his stupid act of defiance, but we will live!”
”Who cares about this damn sect anyway? We are demonic cultivators! We can kill on our own and still survive. It is better to die free than die in the service of such a stupid patriarch.”
The bald elder finished speaking.
”I agree that the patriarch is indeed a fool. I also agree that we must not attack this fiendish general. If we face off against one such a him, we will all die horrible deaths that are fit for myths. Therefore, I will also be withdrawing from this misguided venture and live.” The eldest elder responded calmly.
”Very good, at least both of us will survive.”
”OR SO YOU THOUGHT, TRAITORS!!!” The other elders and the patriarch immediately showed up with their guns drawn and ready.
”HAHAH! 1st and 3rd elders are colluding to abandon our sect! We will execute you for this treachery right now!” A random fat elder shouted as he aimed his revolver at the pair.
”I am very disappointed in the both of you. I am indeed sorry but I will be demanding your lives as compensation.” The patriarch solemnly declared as he aimed his lever action rifle at the bald elder.
”Wait! Don't shoot! This is exactly what the fiend general wants! He d.e.s.i.r.es for all of us to fight each other and spill our own blood without having to do any work! Can't you all see that this is a scheme that is so well hidden that not even an immortal grandmaster could see through it? We are being tricked!” The bald elder shouted with sweat dripping down from his head.
”And you are saying you can see through this better than an Immortal Grandmaster? NONSENSE!” The patriarch shot at the bald elder, to which the bald elder shot a few rounds from his gun at the other three elders.
”YOU SHALL DIE FOR THIS!” The first elder witnessed the bald elder die after successfully hitting the other three elders in critical areas.
”DEMONIC ART OF EXPLOSION!”
