Chapter 490: Interrogating And Rescue (1/2)

Just as the bandit had spoke, his legs were grasped by two hands which then pressed hard, crushing the legs to minced meat.

”ARGH!!!” The bandit cried in pain as snot trialed down his nostrils and his body fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

”WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU!?” Ba Lian shouted in shock.

But now Lin Mu had broken the legs of nearly every bandit, and only Ba Lian and little Bo were left. Upon hearing his question, a voice appeared.

”Me?” The voice said, before a person emerged from the ground. ”I am your death.”

~shua~

Lin Mu's leg moved like a whip and hit the legs of Ba Lian, severing them instantly and knocking his body away.

~Crash~

The legless Ba Lian crashed into the tents as he groaned in pain. All the bandits that Lin Mu had fought were weak compared to him, being in the body tempering realm, except for Ba Lian who was a cultivator and at the early stage of the Qi refining realm.

”LEADER BA LIAN!” Little Bo shouted upon seeing the scene. He had rushed back upon hearing the pain filled shouts and was greeted by a horrifying scene.

~shing~

A sword suddenly appeared next to Little Bo's neck, which made him freeze in place.

”Take another step and lose your head.” Lin Mu spoke in a cold tone.

”Wh-what… why-why are you doing this?” Little Bo questioned.

Lin Mu didn't know whether to laugh at his word or pity the man. Such a question was ridiculous if he considered his position.

”I don't think I need to answer that. Any sensible person will know why, and since you need to ask such a question, you are definitely not one of them.” Lin Mu ridiculed.

He turned back to Ba Lian and stepped on his gory stumps that were bleeding profusely.

”NOO!!” The man shouted in pain as Lin Mu pressed his heel against it.

”If you don't want a repeat of this, tell me everything. Tell me where you got these kids and who you are selling them to.” Lin Mu questioned, his eyes looking deadly sharp.

The injured man spilled the beans pretty quickly. What Lin Mu had done was enough to reduce a grown man to a crying child. There was no way he could hold up against the threat.

Lin Mu finally learned how all these bandits were actually working. Ever since the kingdom set up multiple army outposts and blockades, these bandit groups had to move to the outer regions of the kingdom that were either less protected, or were under the authority of a local power like the cultivation sects.
