Chapter 271: Ambush and Taking Tenth Master as the hostage

"Esteemed guests, there are exactly forty high-grade mana crystals," the tenth master said with a warm smile.

Aur nodded and took the bag filled to the brim with middle-grade mana crystals, while the tenth master took the high-grade mana crystals with joy.

"Alright, now that the deal is done, it's time to make my move."

"What do you mean?" Suddenly, the tenth master felt his scalp go numb and his spine shiver; an ominous feeling rose inside him.

Aur casually formed a fist and punched the strong man beside him, his blood and Qi all concentrated on this single fist working in tandem with his strong muscles.

The strong man felt a strong sense of impending death as his entire being was drenched in cold sweat.

He felt like this fist, once it landed, would be his ultimate demise.

The fist seemed to move extremely slowly in his eyes, almost as if it weren't moving at all; however, it was actually an amalgamation of extreme speed reaching its maximum potential.

Boom!

The fist landed, and immediately the man turned into a splatter of blood, his entire being wiped out from existence.

Aur casually wiped his fist clean of blood.

The tenth master looked at the scene with a stunned expression, his feet trembling.

"You… don't come over. You should know the consequences of killing me. I am warning you, even if you are a tier two wizard, you will die under the pursuit of our family if you kill me."

The tenth master stood there with his eyes closed, feeling the life-threatening danger which he had never experienced before.

He regretted being greedy and wished he had informed his second brother at least. At least then he might have saved his own life.

However, the only thing he felt was the cold touch of a blade near his neck.

"Hmm?" He slowly opened his eyes, seeing a black sabre right before him. Its coldness seemed to pierce his neck, filled with killing intent.

He looked at the panda-masked wizard with confusion in his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, the tenth master noticed five individuals with a strong presence surrounding them from all directions.

"Who are you guys?" he spoke nervously at the unexpected development.

The five people didn't speak, but their faces showed a bitter expression.

They had planned to ambush Aur after the transaction was complete and the tenth master was far away from him.

Who knew this rogue wizard would be so decisive and immediately kill the strong man before taking the tenth master hostage without hesitation.

"This guy must have sensed something was wrong," one of them said secretly communicating with the others.

"I can tell, however, how he could find out we have been using a tier one spell to hide our presence to the minimum, unless this person has a tier two detecting type spell."

"Wasn't he supposed to be a rogue tier two wizard? It's impossible even we have only two or three tier two spells. I don't believe that he could get his hands on a tier two spell. The high-grade mana crystal he is trading is probably his entire life savings."

"But the fact is that this guy has sensed us, so stop whining and focus on the situation, no matter what. We can't let him go. If we do, he might cause harm. A tier two rogue wizard's resentment is terrifying."

The four immediately stopped their chatter when they heard the person speak and nod their heads in agreement.

The one who spoke and made the four back down came to the front, coldly looking at the burly man with long white hair and a panda mask on.

"What do you want?"

"What do you think I want?" Aur replied with a chuckle. "I want to safely get away from this place."

The five looked at each other, and the front person spoke. "Okay, first you let go of the tenth master, and you can safely go."

Hearing this, a sneer formed on Aur's face. "Do you think I am stupid? First, I get out of this place, and then I will release your tenth master."

"That is impossible," the man shook his head vehemently. "How can we guarantee that you will let go of the tenth master if we let you go?"

Amusedly, Aur said, "You don't have any choice, do you?"

The saber went slightly closer to the neck of the tenth master, causing a small amount of blood to trickle down his neck onto the blade of the cold black saber.

"You…" the man started to move.

"You can make your move, but if you do, then kiss your tenth master goodbye. Besides, you don't have a guarantee to kill me, do you?" Aur spoke calmly.

"Fine."

The five could only helplessly nod their heads.

Aur pushed the tenth master. "You heard what they said. Let's go. I will release you after I put some distance."

The tenth master could only obey helplessly as he had already realised that his trusted servant had betrayed him and informed the second master.

"Oh wait, he might have been a spy planted by the second brother in the first place," he thought helplessly.

For the first time, he felt insignificant. No matter what plans he made, in front of true power, it's just like a child playing tricks.

With a resigned nod, he slowly started to leave with Aur's guidance.

The five looked at Aur and the tenth master leaving with a thoughtful expression.

Just as they were about to leave their vision, the artefact on them shined, and they heard a cold voice.

"What is the situation?"

"Second master…." The five quickly explained all the things that had happened.

"This is an order to kill the man in the process. If my tenth brother is dead, then that is his own luck, but remember, no matter what, you must kill the rogue wizard, or you will face the consequences."

The five's hearts shuddered when the second master finished talking.

After all, it was his own brother, but he was asking to kill him so easily?
