Chapter 308 - The Gold


Chapter 308: The Gold

Yang Liao couldn’t help but tremble when he saw the human skin mask-wearing Xu Jingming and the three Lv. 8 experts.

Boom! Boom!

The sky turned dark and thunderous. Raindrops started to fall.

Yang Liao was still a capable person; he quickly calmed down and thought to himself, Don’t panic! It’s different from last time. I have more than 200 guards with me this time, and these bandits only have about 100 people.

“Everyone.” Yang Liao got out of the carriage and glared at Xu Jingming and the others under the heavy protection of his guards. He shouted, “You robbed me last time. Aren’t you going overboard by doing it again?”

“Was it you who robbed Second Young Master previously?” An elder from the Yang family was furious.

A group of experts had also been arranged to support Yang Liao.

“Yes, it’s us.” Xu Jingming smiled and said, “After the last robbery, I believe Second Young Master knows our rules very well. We only want money and won’t kill anyone! As long as you obediently hand over all your gold and silver, all of you can survive… If you resist, don’t blame us.”

“How dare you!” the Yang family elder rebuked angrily and glanced at Yang Liao.

Yang Liao nodded slightly. “I’ll leave everything to you, Second Uncle.”

This elder was also a collateral relative of the Yang family. Although he was strong, he still listened to Yang Liao’s orders.

The Yang family elder nodded slightly and stared at Xu Jingming and the others coldly. “Everyone, you can still live if you walk away. Otherwise, there will definitely be casualties in the battle. It will be too late to regret it when that happens.”

“Sigh.” Xu Jingming shook his head gently. “There are always some people who can’t read the situation. Attack!”

Xu Jingming couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath.

“Team 1, follow me; the others guard the convoy.” The Yang family elder also held a spear and led the charge. More than 90 experts followed the Yang family elder.

Although this Yang family convoy had nearly 300 people, their elite core consisted of about 90 members. The only 15 first-rate experts in the team were hidden among them, and there were also a large number of second-rate and third-rate experts.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The 60 first-rate experts beside Xu Jingming turned into afterimages and charged out.

“Let’s attack as well,” Xu Jingming said. He held a spear and charged into the enemy team with the three Lv. 8 experts beside him.

Whoosh.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

First-rate experts were the backbone of the Yang family, but the 60 people on Xu Jingming’s side were all first-rate experts! With their teamwork, they were naturally even more terrifying.

The moment they clashed, it was a one-sided battle!

On the Yang family team’s side, some second-rate and third-rate experts were quickly killed. Even first-rate experts collapsed and died.

“What?” The moment they clashed, the Yang family elites realized how terrifying the enemy was.

“These people are all first-rate experts?” The Yang family elder was alarmed.

Two or three super experts could be dealt with using overwhelming numbers! They could be besieged with all kinds of concealed weapons and throwing weapons! In Blood Rain World, everyone’s physique had the same upper limit. Under a siege, super experts would similarly lose their lives.

However, 60 first-rate experts were too terrifying.

“Not good.” The Yang family elder noticed the experts on his side collapsing one after another. “The four leaders are coming.”

Xu Jingming and the three Lv. 8 experts arrived.

“Pfft.” A black spear streaked across the sky and headed straight for the Yang family elder, colliding forcefully with the Yang family elder’s spear.

Clang.

The spears collided, but Xu Jingming’s spear was as slippery as a python. The moment they collided, he naturally guided his strength and thrust his spear forward, piercing the Yang family elder’s chest.

The Yang family elder’s eyes widened. He was also a first-rate expert, but he died in a single clash?

“Super expert.” As the Yang family elder collapsed, he also noticed the massacre carried out by the other three Lv. 8 experts. “Four super experts?”

At the back of the team, Liu Hai, Tu Ling, and Zhang Qing followed. They watched the battle from afar.

“Xu Jingming’s spearmanship is amazing,” Zhang Qing said seriously as she watched from afar.

“Haha…” Liu Hai observed from afar. “This disciple of mine has improved rapidly, and he’s now far ahead of me. The spear-wielding elder from before was extraordinary, and I wasn’t confident in defeating him. However, Jingming killed him in one strike.”

“This is Earth’s number one expert,” Tu Ling praised. “My strength has just reached second-rate. I’m far inferior to Brother Xu.”

Zhang Qing, Liu Hai, and Tu Ling watched from afar.

The three of them were also peerless experts on Earth, but they knew very well that Xu Jingming had completely left them in the dust!

******

In the one-sided massacre, only ten or so of the 90-plus elites in the Yang family team fled quickly when they saw that the situation turned south and returned to the team. The others had been killed on the spot, and the main road was littered with corpses.

Yang Liao’s face turned pale when he saw this.

Xu Jingming was a little surprised. “One person died?”

The first-rate experts in the Yang family team’s desperate counter-attack were quite impressive. Even though Xu Jingming’s side was working with each other, a first-rate expert still lost his life.

Of course, from the Yang family team’s point of view, almost all their most elite experts were dead! The other party had only lost one person; the gap was too great.

“I know…” Others couldn’t see Xu Jingming’s true expression through the human skin mask, and his voice echoed in the surroundings. “Many of the guards in your team were forced to join. Is there a need for you to risk your lives for the Yang family? As long as you make way to the empty space over there, I’ll spare you.”

“If you have to foolishly risk your life for the Yang family, I can only show no mercy,” Xu Jingming said. “I’ll count to ten—hurry up and make a choice. Ten, nine…”

Xu Jingming counted down.

Many guards exchanged looks. They were all too familiar with each other. Many of them were brothers, friends, and neighbors, so they knew each other’s mentality.

“These people are too strong. Warding them off is suicide.”

“Are we really going to risk our lives for Second Young Master?” Some among the guards whispered.

“Don’t listen to him,” Yang Liao said anxiously. “You know the outcome of betraying the Yang family. Not only you, but even your families will be implicated.”

“Four, three…” Xu Jingming counted down very quickly, and his voice was very cold.

One guard after another walked toward the empty space beside the main road. Especially when Xu Jingming’s countdown was about to end, more guards immediately moved. It was obvious to the naked eye that more than half of the guards had chosen to betray their master!

After all, more than 100 of these guards resented being forced to join the convoy.

Resistance was akin to tempting fate! They naturally knew how to choose.

When more than 100 people chose betrayal, the remaining loyal guards—those who had some brains to speak off—understood what was happening. If I don’t leave, I’ll be buried with him.

“It’s useless for a third-rate expert like me to stay.”

“Those first-rate experts are all dead. What’s the point of risking my life?”

“It’s not worth risking my life for Second Young Master Yang.”

Whoosh.

“Two, one!” When Xu Jingming finished counting down, most of the guards had already run to the side. Even more than half of the Yang family members had run over, and only a small number remained.

“The guards have seen you bandits,” Yang Liao said hoarsely. “If you let these guards off, they will definitely report everything to the Yang family. The Yang family will definitely hunt you down.”

“You mean you want to silence all the guards by eliminating them?” Xu Jingming looked at Yang Liao.

When the guards who had run to the open space heard this, they couldn’t help but glare at Yang Liao. This damn Second Young Master. He had forced us previously! He is still trying to sow discord?

“I’m willing to give you 10,000 gold.” Yang Liao gritted his teeth and said, “Leave with the 10,000 gold and let us live.”

Yang Liao panicked.

His mission was too important. If he failed this time, and with his father’s temper… Even if he survived and returned, he wouldn’t receive any attention in the future, and his fate would be much more miserable.

“Hand over 10,000 gold?” Xu Jingming waved his hand. “Attack.”

How can 10,000 gold be enough! I want everything!

When he saw a large number of experts charging over, Yang Liao—who had been negotiating and still had some courage—kneeled down in fright and shouted, “Spare me! Spare me!”

The cosmic citizen players avoided him. They didn’t know if their boss wanted to kill Yang Liao, so they naturally wouldn’t make a decision on their own.

“The Yang family won’t let you off.” Some of the Yang family loyalists in the team took the initiative to charge forward, but they were slaughtered one after another.

“Spare me. I’ll give it all to you—I don’t want it anymore!” Yang Liao kneeled there and didn’t dare negotiate further.

Pu!

A spear tore through the air and penetrated his chest.

Yang Liao was stunned.

Xu Jingming drew his spear and walked away. He couldn’t be bothered to look at Yang Liao and thought to himself, I’ve been secretly investigating for the past few days. Your antics have infuriated me so much that I want you dead! I spared your life previously… just for today’s operation.

When the operation succeeded, Yang Liao no longer had any value. Thus, he naturally enjoyed killing him.

The moment the Yang family guards in the distance saw Yang Liao being stabbed—

Great. Third Qiao stared at this scene with delight in his eyes. He had long hated Second Young Master to the core. His daughter’s death was Second Young Master’s doing.

“Nice kill.”

“Awesome.”

“This time, the convoy will be completely crippled. It’s impossible for them to head to the eastern region again.”

Many guards were secretly delighted, and few were truly angry because of Yang Liao’s fate. It was because the latter had never treated the guards as humans all these years! His methods were too ruthless, and the guards had accumulated too much resentment.

To Xu Jingming, a team led by this idiotic leader was the easiest to deal with. That was why Yang Liao was still alive today!

“Gold is mainly distributed in five places. Some members of the Yang family also carry gold.” The three Lv. 8 experts used their psychic powers to envelop the team and easily found the places where gold was hidden.

First was the vest Yang Liao had on him. There was a total of 10,000 gold hidden in the vest!

The carriage Yang Liao was in also hid 5,000 gold.

There were also other Yang family members carrying gold, and they were found one by one.

“A total of 26,800 gold.” Xu Jingming quickly gathered the gold. With a wave of his hand, Liu Hai, Tu Ling, and Zhang Qing rushed over from afar.

“The Yang family team is very easy to deal with. The most important thing now is to keep the gold.” Xu Jingming looked at the three of them and handed a bundle of gold to Liu Hai. “Act according to the plan.”

He also gave Tu Ling and Zhang Qing a bag of gold. The two of them took it and carried it on their backs.

Xu Jingming wore Yang Liao’s vest.

Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Tu Ling, and Zhang Qing exchanged looks.

If they obtained too much gold, they would easily be targeted by the world! Especially after the previous few operations, the gold Xu Jingming had accumulated was already high enough, so he naturally had to be more cautious.

I wonder how much of this 26,800 gold can be truly retained, he thought to himself. He had distributed the gold because he didn’t want to put all his eggs in one basket.

“Everyone!” Xu Jingming looked around. “Retreat!”

The order was given.

The team of more than 100 people quickly retreated into the forest.
