74 Being Exposed? (1/2)
”It's your duty, that's what they pay you for!”
After numerous criticisms, the cultivators began to tremble...but in fury!
”My brother died to protect ungrateful garbage like you!” Shouted a mercenary as he grabbed a man by the neck who criticized him.
”You've been safe here while we risked our lives fighting for you!”
”It's...it's...it's your duty!” Cried the man as he struggled to free himself from the grip, but he was just a normal man, he couldn't do anything against a cultivator on the Core Formation stage!
”It is our duty? I will teach you what my duty is!” Said the cultivator as he punched the man, turning his body into a bloody pulp which he threw to the ground.
”What have you done?!” Said Troy as he tried to stop the mercenary.
”I did what I should have done a while ago, we fought for our homes not these rats!” Said the mercenary as he shook the gore off his shoe.
”I am sick of this shit, I'm taking my family with me somewhere else, I'm not going to fight for scum like this!”Said another cultivator as he took his family and left before the beasts reappeared.
Some followed his example and left the city with their families, leaving almost a hundred remaining cultivators to 'defend' the city.
”...”
No one expected such a development, the citizens recriminated the cultivators and they began to get angry, with Troy and Sebas's protection, the citizens became emboldened and continued their accusations.
”The Lord of the city will give you what you deserve, do you think you can orpress us because you have the strength?” The citizens had their eyes injected in blood as they shouted at the people who defended them from the beasts hours earlier.
”...”
The cultivators seemed to have lost their rationality, the stress and fury accumulated had covered their eyes with red and their breathing was accelerating.
One by one they drew their weapons and prepared their attacks, they were ready to charge but nobody dared to take the first step.
Realizing that the cultivators were just mere words, a young man who wanted to impress his friends picked up a stone and threw it against the cultivators while shouting...
”If I were you, I would kneel down and beg for mercy before our lord kills you!” Shouted the young man before he felt a warm fluid covering his body.
Xiu!
The young man grabbed his neck in an attempt to seal the hole, but the blood kept flowing like a waterfall. He could only look at his neighbors as he spat blood and covered them with it.
No one saw who it was, but a flash shone in the dark night killing numerous people who were in the front line of the crowd.
After the first deaths, screams began to flood Pearl City streets.
”Ahhhh!”
”They want to kill us!”
Panic flooded the citizens as they fled like headless chickens.
...
It was like the starting shot in a race, the cultivators possessed by their fury charged against the citizens fleeing in terror.
”Stop or I'll have to act!” Shouted Troy as he stood in front of his people.
”...”
To the furious cultivators, the wounded Troy was only a fat boar on their way, they charged against him and among several cultivators only a little weaker than him they imbovilized Troy.
”No, please!” Shouted a man as he was stabbed by a cultivator with angry red eyes.
”I'm going to claim my wage on my own!”Said a cultivator as he dragged a woman into an alley,she tried to resist but the difference of forces was like heaven and earth!
”Bring me to your house before I make steaks out of your body!” Shouted another cultivator as he threatened the merchant.
”I'll give you all my money, please don't kill me!” Yelled the fat man as he crawled home.
