Book 2 Chapter 57: The Siren

After another two hours have passed Lintian noticed that less than half of the teams sent in here were left.

Lintian contemplated to himself, “Either the teams left in here are weak or they are the strongest team left.”

As Lintian’s mind was scanning the entire field he notices that one of the team was significantly far from the other teams. They were roughly 3 miles away from the closes team.

“I found us a target,” Lintian said to Alex and then runs off.

A three mile distance wasn’t much of a distance when their light jogging speed was roughly 60 mph.

“Lets do this fast. Don’t let them escape. Use the your clones to get the drones. I’ll finish them off,” Lintian instructed. His three dantians fuses together and instantly his cultivation grew from the second stage to the fourth. Lightning were dancing on the tip of his skin.

“ITS AN AMBUSH!” Lintian heard one of them shout but it was too late. Lintian’s body accelerated as his Dragon eyes kept his reaction time in control.

Lintian appears before a well built youth before drilling his fist into his abdomen as a wave of dense qi attack this poor youth on a cellular level. Then Lintian’s body spins around as the heel of his feet connects with the youth’s jaws.

This all happened in less than half a second. Lintian’s body then appears to teleport away then reappear with his elbow ramming through another cultivator’s lungs. The cultivator fell to the ground grasping his chest. Then Lintian ruthlessly kicks him on the head knocking this guy unconscious.

In less than a second Lintian took out two cultivators in the seventh stage of the master’s realm.

Then there was one left.

“Please don’t hurt me!” he pleads while kowtowing on the ground.

“Ugh. Have some dignity,” Alex said backing away a little as he stares at the yellow puddle on the ground.

“Give me the gold medal you have on you and I’ll spare you,” Lintian said loudly but even he knew that there was no way they would have any medal on them given their strength they just displayed. This wasn't the real reason why Lintian attacked them.

“Wawawa we don’t any,” the guy stammers.

“Don’t tell me you don't have any demonic cores either,” Lintian glares.

“We do, we do!” he repeated twice.

“Give me everything you have and I’ll spare you. You will also be working for me from now on. When your teammates wake up sent them my regards,” Lintian said as three spell arrays appears in his hand. One of each array flew into the body of the three cultivators.

“This is a soul destruction array. From now on until the end of this competition you will hunt down demonic beasts inside this arena and hand them over to me. I will come and collect them at the end of the day. If you fail this spell array will detonate inside your dantian. It won’t cripple or kill you but it will cause sever damage that will set back your cultivation by three years.”

This cultivator had a horrified look on his face.

“Now hand my partner everything you have.”

The cultivator unwillingly gives Alex everything and even went over to his teammates to give Alex everything.

As Lintian was leaving he turns around and remind the guy, “I will be expecting five tier four cores by the end of today.”

Once they reach a significant distance away Alex chuckles, “you sure are ruthless.”

“What do you mean?” Lintian asks innocently.

“Making them work for you like that and setting a spell array like that inside their body.”

“I found another.”

This time they did the same thing. After doing it two more time Lintian notices that there were only five teams left and that included him and Alex.

“Hey are you okay?” Alex asks seeing Lintian’s face a little absent minded.

“Yeah. Lets go hide first. I need to discuss something with you.”

“Okay.”

A couple minutes later they found a cave.

“Alright what do you need to discuss?” Alex asks.

“I found that there are only five teams left and six if you include us. There are only a few possible explanations. The three teams we just attacked are still here meaning there are two teams that are still an unknown.”

“Right,” Alex nods.

“So there are only three likely possibilities for the last two teams. Either one team holds two gold medals and is just innocently trying to find us or they both have the same plan as us to wait it out and swoop in for the final kill.”

“Okay? So what are you worried about?” Alex interrupted.

Lintian’s face grew dark and as he said solemnly, “The third possibility is that they are working together and their final target is us. Well mostly me.”

“Wow you narcissistic much?”

“These three are the only possibilities.”

“Couldn’t they both have two gold medals an,” Alex was saying before cutting himself off. The reason was because if Lintian was right and there were only three team with gold medals left it was mathematical impossible due to the fact that the announcer did say that once all three golds are obtain they will automatically teleport out. “Are you saying Michael is working with another team in the top twelve to take you out?”

“Yeah.”

“Wasn’t the bet a one on one fight?”

“No and yes. The bet was to meet and fight in this tournament. Also whoever was knocked out before the other team also loses. We assumed it was going to be one on but we did not state it out loud. Since the organizers of the tournament has been changing up everything then it is not cheating to team up.” Lintian explains.

“I have an idea.”

“What is it?”

“Why don’t we use those teams you made to work for us? You basically have a bomb strapped to them.”

“Well about that. The spells I place on them aren’t really detonation spells. They are just shock spells. Detonation spells are way to complicated to place inside a person.”

“Well they don’t know that.”

Lintian thought about it and it seems reasonable. Plus he didn't damage those guys enough to kill them.

“Alright, we’ll settle on that plan. I know where the last team is,” Lintian grins. Then he closes his eyes and concentrated on three teams that he placed the shock spell in.

“Come meet me at this location in 5 minutes. If I don’t see you there I will detonate the bomb I placed inside of you,” Lintian messaged them mentally. He also sent them a map.

“Lets go,” Lintian said and leaps into the air. As they travel through the forest it took them two minutes before they reached the intended location.

“Stay here,” Lintian commands Alex as he creeps closer to the enemy’s camp.

Thanks to the Tsukino family assassination skills Lintian’s aura remain hidden even when he was only 10 meters alway.

“Do you think he’s dumb enough to actually fight us?” a feminine voice sounded out from a manly looking dude. If someone was to close their eyes and hear the voice they would think it belonged to a mermaid, or a fairy from the distant heaven.

Micheal looks at the dude with signs of contempt as he answers, “it doesn't matter either way I win. Tell your team to keep looking”

“Micheal remember what you promised me,” a young man laying of the floor said to Micheal.

“Jarid like I said to both you and Harry if you help me with this I will naturally gift you a King’s realm weapon.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two girls appeared out of nowhere. They were exceptionally beautiful like super models.

“My team is back,” the feminine voice said. “Whats the situation?”

“We can’t find them. There are still three teams heading toward our direction but I found no signs of the team Micheal is looking for. Perhaps they have already been defeated?” The girl suggests.

“We’ll know once we take out the three teams that are coming to this location,” Micheal answers emotionlessly.

“Hehehe,” the she male giggles evilly. “Everyone shut your ears.”

Lintian didn't know why she said shut your ears but he did just that and created a sound barrier around his ears.

A soothing melody surges out of the she male’s mouth. It encompassed a radius of 2 miles.

Alex who was fifty meters away felt his soul being assaulted when he heard the melody. Each note was piercing his soul. He felt like he was going mad as he tried to resist. His eyes turning bloodshot.

With his last strand of consciousness he remembered which school majors in musical soul attack. It was the Hessi school and one of their student contending was known as the siren. No one has seen her before but it was said that her voice was so soothing that even the strongest of men would fall into a daze.
