Chapter 1305: Message
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
"ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH…"
"ARGGGGGGGG…"
"NOOO…."
Many explosions covered the four disciples in the rear as they were on verge of blinking away from the spot. Various sounds of pain and suffering could be heard from them. Disciple One and Disciple Two immediately blinked away from that spot. They even ignored Sam completely.
Sam didn't even dare to slack off a bit. He drank a potion and immediately ran away from that spot.
On his way the specter joined him and they went back to the city directly and on his way, Sam couldn't help but sweat profusely and sigh repeatedly.
This time, the plan is a bit too dangerous and the risk is too high. His life was at stake.
When he set up the whole scenario, he thought of many variables that might affect him negatively and he was right.
The disciples are a lot more skilled than he thought. If not for his superior control of the energy and the usage of repel style, he would have been dead the moment Disciple One kicked him.
He is strong, but he is not as strong as an Astral Plane Consummate stage cultivator even of that cultivator is at initial stage. He is levels beyond that strength.
But there is one thing that he counted on most.
The fact that the disciples wouldn't be willing to kill him instantly and he was right. The disciples were way too emotionally involved to kill him the very second they saw him. If they were aiming to kill him, he would have been dead already.
They would have instantly killed Sam the moment they caught him, but they didn't. That is why he took the first hit from the Disciple One.
He wanted to see whether they really wanted to kill him on the spot or not and his bet paid off at that moment and he proceeded with the rest of the plan.
He made them participate in the cast and mouse game as he took advantage of his mechanical leg's hopping ability and made them lose a good chunk of their energy.
What they don't know is that they lost way too much energy than they had anticipated and that is the result of the trap he set up.
Sam's trap is not some attacking formation or something disrupts their motion or attacks, it is a large cursed formation that spanned a few hundred square meters and it has only one purpose to drain the people that were not supposed to be in while recharging the person that was within it.
The cursed formation was placed with the help of the specter to whom Sam taught the curses.
After they lost enough energy, Sam wanted to separate the group. No matter how many people that were separated, he decided that he would target the group that has lesser strength.
The two big dogs were separated while the rest are struck back a little.
Then finally the specter arrived from within the formation while the two disciples panicked a bit and activated the small pin grenade. This is one of the things Sam paid for the artisan to manufacture.
The pin grenade doesn't contain any lethality by itself, but the pins themselves are a different story. Each pin is a curse carrier and Sam fused the energy bullets into the curses before attaching them to the pins.
And each energy bullet is not small, they are strong enough to destroy someone of Sam's cultivation level instantly.
The last thing he counted on is the behavior of the Disciples that he studied thus far. From the memories of Sivan and from the past few encounters, Sam understood something about them. The disciples are too close and too attached to each other.
They cannot be decisive when one of them is in danger.
So, as soon as the explosions happened, the two disciples that came at Sam, immediately left him there and went to meet save their brothers.
Sam took this chance and escaped to the city.
Everything worked out well, but he knew for sure that this plan is way too risky for his own good. There are some errors in his judgement which almost made him lose his life quite a few times.
He decided that he needs to enhance his defense a lot. But before that, he took out some more pin grenades he has got and started throwing them at the rest of the people in the branch that he came to destroy.
Meanwhile, Disciples are having a hard time.
Disciple one and Disciple two are horrified by the scene in front of them.
Disciple Three is dead. In fact, he was completely dismembered. The remaining three are barely hanging by a thread. At least ten pins directly hit all four of them and the remaining exploded within a close vicinity. They are in no way safe.
All three of them have a varying degree of damage on their bodies.
They took out all the healing potions and made them drink first so that they would at least stay alive for a while.
After that Disciple one started taking out the scrolls from within the spatial rings of the three disciples.
These are the special scrolls their master prepared for them. It was for extreme emergencies and this is one of those situations.
They activated the scrolls immediately and all five of them disappeared.
They reappeared in the middle of Butler Si's residence within Sivan's Clan.
Butler Si, who was currently serving Sivan with some blood collected from the beasts, got an alert on his communication token.
"Young Master, I have an urgent matter to attend to."
"Go on."
Sivan just waved his hand as he focused on his meal.
Butler Si disappeared from the spot and reappeared at his own residence.
He saw his disciples in their sorry state and he didn't even have any words to say for that. He held back his disappointment as well as the words of criticism. Disciple One and Disciple two are shedding tears, he could easily guess what might have happened and called for the clan healer to come.
The healer checked the conditions of the disciples and started treating them.
"They would be unable to wake up for a few weeks. I need to place them on a life support formation and slowly heal each injury in different parts of their bodies. At least, they didn't have any brain damage and their other critical organs are repairable. But I cannot speed it up any longer."
Butler Si nodded and let the healers take his disciples away. He looked at Disciple One and Disciple Two and sighed.
"Leave this matter. Do not interfere anymore. I will let someone else deal with him or I would go there myself."
The disciples didn't speak anything and just stayed silent.
Disciple One is the oldest of them all and also the strongest of them. He has been with his master for most amount of time, the rest of the disciples came after him and they are named in that order.
He was always taking care of them and looking after their safety.
But now, because of his reluctance to kill Sam and his lack of caution cost one of his brothers to die and the remaining three to be in critical stage.
He felt extremely defeated and disappointed at himself. Butler Si looked at them and sighed once again.
"Just take care. I will create new scrolls for you, until now stay within the residence. I have something to handle. Don't think about this matter anymore and rest. Think of how to rectify the shortcomings and don't blame yourselves.
As long as you take the scroll once again, I wouldn't stop you from going anywhere you want. But until then, stay here. Otherwise, get ready to be punished."
With those words, he left. The two disciples went to two different rooms to have some alone time.
By evening, Butler Si returned to the residence and he immediately frowned. He hurriedly came inside and opened the door for the room of Disciple One.
The room turned out to be empty and he sighed in exasperation. He knew something like this would happen. He knew that Disciple One wouldn't stop, that is why he warned that guy about the scroll and punishment.
But it seems like the impact of this issue is too much of Disciple One.
He called for Disciple Two and said.
"I want you to go look for Disciple One in the last branch you guys visited.
Don't let him go berserk and bring death up on himself. If he is not there immediately come back and report to me."
While Butler Si was giving this order, at the exact moment, Disciple One is actually standing in the middle of the ruins of the destroyed branch left behind by Sam.
There is a large stone pillar in the middle which was engraved with a few words.
"I will be in the Redmatter Planet in fifteen days. The Red Glove mercenaries are my target. Come and get me if you can."- Sam.
