Chapter 265: The Unfathomable Old Butler! (1/2)
Chapter 265: The Unfathomable Old Butler!
In that instant, the area around the saw pit turned silent.
The figure which had just appeared left everyone's mouth agape with shock.
They had experienced King Sosurim's immense might personally. Even a collaboration between Ma Yinlong, Old Eagle, Solitary Wolf, Steel Arms, and Li Lin couldn't stop him, and he managed to break out from their encirclement.
The incredible master archer whom King Song assigned to Wang Chong could kill a True Martial realm expert with every single arrow, but King Sosurim was able to catch his arrow bare-handed.
And yet, such a powerful person actually had his armor of Stellar Energy shattered so easily, and was currently clutched by his throat.
”Ol-old butler?”
Seeing the silhouette by the street, astonishment was suddenly reflected in Li Lin's eyes. The person who saved Wang Chong was no other than the old butler who was often by King Song's side.
”How could this be?” Li Lin muttered to himself. He had never known that the old butler by King Song's side was actually such an astounding expert.
”Lad, is this fellow the Goguryeon chief spy you were looking for?” The old butler nonchalantly ignored the dumbfounded crowd and turned to Wang Chong instead.
In his hands, King Sosurim was howling in fear, but he was unable to do anything at all. He found that he couldn't even lift his own arms.
On the other hand, seated on the back of his horse, Wang Chong wasn't any less astonished than the others.
He didn't know that the old butler would be so ridiculously powerful. In that momentary encounter, Wang Chong couldn't even sense his presence at all.
All of the sudden, the old butler suddenly felt like an enigmatic existence to him.
”To think that King Song would dispatch him!” Wang Chong muttered to himself. Even though Wang Chong was astonished, he wasn't really surprised by this turn of events. That was because he was the one who requested it.
For this operation, he had requested for King Song to dispatch an expert to assist him should the need arise.
It was just that Wang Chong didn't expect that person to be this old butler.
”Yes, it's indeed this person. I'll be depending on you, then.” Wang Chong swiftly regained his calm and smiled.
Err err!
Hearing those words, King Sosurim's face was streaked with fear. Releasing frightened moanings, he mustered all of his strength to struggle. But, kacha! The old butler tightened his fingers and snapped the other party's neck.
Peng!
The old butler flicked his wrist before dumping King Sosurim's corpse onto the ground, right before Ma Yinlong and the others.
”Lad, I've already killed the man for you. You should settle everything else yourself.”
Leaving behind these words, the old butler clapped his hands and left, as though he had just done something completely insignificant.
”Thank you, elder.” Wang Chong bowed respectfully as he watched the other party leave. Only then did he leap down from his horse.
Hu la! At the same moment, Ma Yinlong and everyone else rushed forward to examine King Sosurim's body.
”He's dead!”
”He's really dead!”
”Unbelievable! We almost let this fellow get away!”
The group stared at King Sosurim's corpse with complex emotions. This fellow was cunning and vicious, possessing the traits of a wolf and a fox.
In the past fifteen years, he had been an unrivaled existence in the capital, causing destruction as he pleased... But now, he was lying lifelessly on the ground with nothing, but fear on his face.
Those who had once lived under the fear of King Sosurim could even more vividly feel how difficult it was to slay this Goguryeon chief spy.
”This matter... has finally ended!” Looking at the corpse on the ground, Wang Chong released a long sigh of relief.
On top of preventing the future assassinations and damage he would cause, killing King Sosurim also preserved Great Tang's dignity and honor.
It sent a stern message that the Central Plains would not allow any foreigners to act as they pleased on its lands.
【Congratulations to user for killing King Sosurim! For unraveling the assassination plot of the Goguryeon Empire, you are awarded 20 Destiny Energy.]
That anticipated message finally sounded in Wang Chong's mind, and a hint of a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
However, at that moment, a shocking incident occurred.
【Congratulations to user for killing 1581 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!]
【Congratulations to user for killing 1582 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!]
【Congratulations to user for killing 1583 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!]
--
【Congratulations to user for killing 1588 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!]
【Congratulations to user for killing 1589 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!]
【Congratulations to user for killing 1590 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!]
Amidst a frenzied wind, great energy gathered from the surroundings and seeped into Wang Chong's body. In that instant, Wang Chong felt his Bane of the Battlefield aura rising to new heights. At the same time, the Goguryeon death toll also increased by 10.
”Hm? Killing King Sosurim is actually equivalent to killing ten Goguryeon warriors?”
Wang Chong was taken aback.
This was the first time he realized that killing a high-tier commander could translate to a higher death toll for ordinary soldiers.
