"Oh oh. What do we have here?" Gong Rui sneered, looking at Jun Wu as if he were already dead.
Apart from looking for treasure in the ruins, one of the clan missions was to kill Jun Wu.
Who would have thought escaping from terrifying life and death would give him Jun Wu on a platter of gold.
So he thought.
Beside Gong Rui was another Gong clansman but from the branch family.
A lackey to Gong Rui. Behind them were students from the Mystic Path Academy who also followed Gong Rui.
When entering the ruin, everyone would appear at different locations, but during the large-scale battle with the ruin beasts,
Gong Rui managed to find them and they both escaped together.
Since he entered the ruin, his luck had never been great. He had been escaping from one Tier-1 Ruin Beast to another.
How could he, a High Second Rated Martial Artist, confront a Tier-1 Ruin Beast.
His only option was to run as fast as possible. He even had the thought to hide.
A Tier-2 Ruin was more dangerous than they expected.
But now, with Jun Wu right before them. As long as they killed him, they could return to the clan triumphantly.
Unknown to the thoughts going on in Gong Rui’s mind, Jun Wu did not have any change in expression.
Since he dared to enter the ruin, he was confident in protecting himself. Even without his protector.
"Young Master Rui, I advise we capture him. Since he’s a talented Array Master. He might be useful to the clan." Gong Li advised.
"Do you think he would allow himself to be captured?" Gong Rui snorted, looking at Gong Li as if he were looking at a fool.
Seeing Gong Rui’s disdainful look, Gong Li lowered his head in sha.
"Let’s get this over with and we can leave this cursed land." He commanded.
"Yes Young Master. You can leave it to us." One of his lackeys responded with a fawning smile.
"Jun or not. How do you want to die?" The lackey shouted, pointing his sword at him.
Although they were all Second Rated Martial Artists, they outnumbered Jun Wu. Also, Jun Wu was a re Array Master.
How could he pose any threat to them?
Jun Wu did not speak. He stared at them with an indifferent expression.
Seeing this, the lackeys were furious. This was a rare chance for them to prove their worth to Gong Rui.
Standing beside Gong Rui, Gong Li was also having the sa thought.
Coming from the branch family, he knew his best shot at a better life was held onto the thigh of Gong Rui.
"Just kill him." He shouted impatiently.
Whoosh!
Before the lackeys could react, Jun Wu had already made his move. He wouldn’t waste his ti on this trash.
What!
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
Four wind blades appeared out of thin air, cutting through everything in their path.
Ahhhhh! Ahhhh!
Instantly, soul-rending screams perated the air. The two front lackeys were split apart, their bodies fell to the ground– dead.
The last lackey reacted quickly and raised his weapon to defend himself but was a bit slow.
Ahhh!
The wind blade severed his arm, blood gushing out like a broken pipe. He wailed, looking at his arm dancing on the ground.
For the last wind strike, Gong Li managed to block it while taking a couple of steps back.
Fear and shock crept up their faces.
Is Jun Wu not an Array Master?!
What were those strange wind blades?
The more they thought about the four strange blades, the more they got confused.
This was supposed to be easy, but now, they had lost two mbers of their team while the third lost an arm.
"Young Master, what should we do?" Gong Li asked with a trembling voice.
Jun Wu was not what they expected. They needed to weigh their choices.
Gong Rui creased his brow and opened his mouth when another scream echoed in the air.
Turning their heads, they saw their last lackey was already killed. His head severed from his neck.
"T-This..." Gong Rui shuddered.
Staring at Jun Wu’s indifferent face, he saw death. If they stayed any longer, their fate wouldn’t be any different from those on the ground.
"Run!" He scread and escaped with the greatest speed.
’I need to report this to the clan imdiately.’ He thought, his heart pounding heavily against his chest like a war drum.
Whoosh!
A silhouette whistled past him. Watching the person increase the distance, Gong Rui cursed.
"Bastard."
How could he not know this was Gong Li leaving him for death. Where was the promise that he would protect him with his life.
"You just wait. As long as I return to the clan. I’ll make your life miserable."
While he was planning his revenge, he failed to notice the deadly wind blade that was right on his heels.
When he finally noticed, it was too late to dodge it.
Ahhhh!
He was sent flying and crashed into a half-broken wall. He crashed to the ground, covered in blood.
However, Jun Wu did not bother to look at him as he disappeared from his spot.
Gong Li was sweating bullets as he pushed his speed to the limit. He excelled in movent skill which gave him the confidence to co to the ruin.
But now...
"Where do you think you’re going?"
Jun Wu’s voice echoed in his ear. Listening to the voice, his spine was drenched in cold and shivered.
How could this be?
His movent skill was already at the proficiency of the Greater Success stage. Any Second Rated Martial should not be able to catch up to him.
Yet...
Ahhhh!
He stumbled on the ground, screaming at the top of his voice. He lowered his head and saw his leg was gone.
Blood spurted out continuously. His face paled, despair gnawing at his soul like a vice.
’I’m dood.’
That was his last thought before everything went blank.
Without any change in his expression, Jun Wu returned to Gong Rui.
Looking at Jun Wu, Gong Rui shivered, his lips trembling.
Everyone thought Jun Wu was nothing but an Array Master, but now,
He knew he was sothing more. Sothing dangerous.
And he had hidden it all well.
"Y-You..."
He only managed to utter that word before his head was severed from his neck.
