Chapter 387: Is That the Cult Leader?
I killed them indiscriminately.
Normally, I would’ve checked their faces, exchanged some words, even given them a chance to escape, but this time I couldn’t do that.
It was because they had ambushed us as a group. As I was killing them, it occurred to me that I didn’t like these retainers in the first place.
These retainers never worked and just leached off powerful factions while biding their time.
They lazed around, ate well, and were even treated nicely.
Maybe that’s why their skills were fairly impressive. Chains shrouded in faint energy passed before my eyes, there was even a skilled fighter using an iron fan and magistrate’s brush, and others wielding strange, nameless weapons had considerable internal energy too.
In the past, it probably would’ve been a tough fight, but as I was facing these retainers, I realized there was a clear gap in level.
Of course, my level was higher.
Even though I knew they weren’t lacking in skill, the fight wasn’t difficult. That was because I instinctively knew how to respond and what attack to use at every moment. When the decision was too complicated, I just crushed them with speed.
Killing and moving before thinking.
There was one man among them clearly of a much higher level.
Eldest Brother’s movements looked freer than usual. Only restrained motions meant to kill flowed neatly from him.
