Chapter 93: Life-death arena

Looking at the figure standing in front of them, the soldiers were scared shitless. Some even pissed their pants just by feeling up the murderousness of Long Tao's aura. "One down. "He walked towards the nearest soldier put his hands on his shoulders and said" If you would be kind enough to yourself, please tell me the names of those who took part in torturing my squad. I may let you be alive.". The soldier instantly pointed at the other two. Long Tao smiled at them, sarcasm all over it. It was just as if a hunter was looking at its prey. The two soldiers tried to run out but were killed midway as for the last soldier remaining there, Long Tao used his soul scourging art to get all his memories and disposed of him too. He now had a long list of names of those he needed to kill.

Long Tao went near Su Meng, unchained her, and fed her portion. He then used his crimson lord aura and bloodline power to provide her with the necessary energy to recover. Su Meng was stable within an hour and she started to recover. Long Tao needed to be careful, as his bloodline energy was too robust and Su Meng wouldn't be able to handle it properly. As she recovered around half her strength, Long TAO asked about the current scenario of the military and the events that took place after their arrest. Su Meng told him about the soldiers, the scheme, the demands of Lin Bao, the members who had betrayed the Black-buck squad, and sided with the enemy. Long Tao nodded his head upon listening to the whole conversation, remaining silent.

Except for ten members, all of the rest had betrayed the group- and sided with Lin Bao. They managed to be enticed by the offers presented by him and decided to go against Long Tao. These scums were not to be left alive. He left the room after giving Su Meng all the medicine she would require to recover her full strength. She was at QI master 6th realm. Her potential was quite high, and even the keeper had told Long Tao that she had a variable natural body type which he didn't recognize as of now but would be able to investigate in future. It was the reason behind Long Tao putting so much pressure on her to develop. She was already at the limit of the Qi master 6th level and could break through to the seventh level anytime. Long Tao asked her to breakthrough after healing herself. The events following would be too bloody.

He proceeded towards the other prison location where the ten peoples were being kept. The first nine were rescued without any glitch, and Long Tao killed all the guards in his way. The floor was already dyed red by him. As he approached the last cell, he looked inside to find a woman being harassed by a group of men. It was none other than vice-leader Mengdi. She was one of the faithful peoples within the squad. What disturbed Long Tao was the fact that the people who were harassing her now were the betrayers of the Blackbuck squad. "How can we let you die, before having a taste of yours, vice-leader. This is a once in the lifetime opportunity. We couldn't approach the leader due to her superior cultivation, but you are just as delicious." The men began to approach. "All of you will die when he comes back."

The soldiers knew who he was in the conversation. The person still gave them nightmares. Their vice-leader and the most powerful person of the squad, Long Tao. "He would be taken care of by the Lin general." The man raised his hands to slap Mengdi. But when he waved it at her face, all he could see was blood splatting on her face, He couldn't feel the sensation of touch anymore. He looked at his hand to find it cut into halves and his palm missing. A shout of agony left his mouth. Alerting all the surrounding accomplices of his. When they looked behind the guy, they saw a figure they least wanted to meet. The figure held onto the ripped palm. The next thing to slide was his head. Long Tao subdued each of them, tortured their souls, and used his scourging arts. All of them died a pitiful death. Soon enough the whole of the ten remaining people arrived.

Long Tao held out a huge amount of elixirs and medicines. "You are to heal yourself as of now. Since this is the dungeon mange by the Lin Family, I want you to kill every single soldier within it after you heal up. Those who are nearing a breakthrough, may go through it before proceeding. You will wait till I give my signal, to come out of the prison. You are also allowed to release all the prisoners held here. I am going to a meet with our beloved friend, Lin Bao. Its time to teach him his place." Lon Tao went out on his own. He proceeded towards the residence of the generals. He already knew where Lin Bao lived. He was going to kill that bastard. But before it, he wanted to prepare a surprise for him. Just at the entrance, he turns around to go in a different direction.

Lin Bao 's residence-

Lin Bao was currently having his dinner with his nephew Lin Hao. These two were very close and he saw Lin Hao as his own son. He was also his chief strategist. But recently a disharmony occurred within these two. Lin Hao was strictly against the idea of convicting the Black-buck squad as a traitor. He knew of Long Tao's talent and it scared him. If Long Tao wanted to seek vengeance on them, they would be left open. HE wanted to employ stronger assassins for the job, but Lin Bao was against spending so much money just to kill Long Tao. He disregarded Lin Hao's advice and sent on an order to arrest Black-buck squad on the ground of treason. Lin Hao was confused on seeing the outcome as he found out that Lin Bao managed to turn most of the squad against Long Tao. He just prayed nothing out of the blue happened.

" I know you are unsatisfied with my decision, but this was the right thing to do. Long Tao's only weakness is the weak members of his squad. They fear him, not respect. Their faith in him is very fragile and as soon as I showed hem my strength and reach, they gave up on him and came to my side. He doesn't have a chance to even put up a fight against me." Lin Hao sighed and looked at Lin Bao." I have met him on multiple occasions. Do you know that in all our meetings I have never felt his nervousness? Even when he was just a Qi child, he possessed the same confidence. We don't even know what his real strength is now. He was able to beat all the QI master when he was at the 3rd level QI master realm. IF he reaches an advanced level, what makes you think he can't reach a Qi general in strength. "

Lin Bao understood Lin Hao's concern but he had already played his move. He needed to wait for how it played out. Would Long Tao stay within the shadows and wait for his turn to come, or he would take a rash decision, and killed. Just when they were having a conversation, a loud bang was heard in the east direction. Going to the window Lin Hao had a nervous look on his face. " What happened?" Lin Bao asked. "The sound came from the direction of the hospital your son is being treated in." Lin Bao had a bad premonition. he instantly got up and rushed towards the hospital with Lin Hao. They couldn't delay a single second. A fire was visible on the boundaries of the hospital. Lin Bao rushed in to find numerous soldiers being engaged in the rescue operations. He grabbed hold of one of the soldiers.

When the soldier saw the face of the person who stopped him, he instantly lost all his confidence." What happened here?". Lin Bao asked in a hurry. " Generalllll, iiii ammmmm srr" he stammered. Lin Bao held his throat and asked in ana angry voice "Say it clearly.". "The lieutenant is dead in his room hanging from a window. It looks like a suicide, but the message written on the wall is indicating otherwise." Lin Bao lost all his strength upon hearing the news. He pushed away all the people in his way and rushed to his son's bedroom. Entering he found his son hanging from a window beside his bed, eyes open. They had fear in them. It was as if his son was scared of whatever he saw before dying." Lin Bao looked in the opposite direction to find a message written on it. "Life-Death arena, tomorrow at dawn. " These words were written of the blood from his son's body.
