C150

Startled Sparrow Master carried Cao Tai downstairs, but as he expected, what awaited him was Ding Ling leading a great army.

The burly man who fainted because of him was also behind Ding Ling. It looked like he wanted to eat Startled Sparrow Master alive, only then would he be able to relieve the hatred he had for Startled Sparrow Master.

Startled Sparrow Master stood in front of everyone. His body was trembling, not because he was afraid, but because the wound on his lower leg made him unable to stand steadily.

He had no chance now. He could not see any hope.

"Leave Cao Tai to me," Ding Ling, who was standing in front of everyone, said, "I will make sure you die less painfully." This was already the most generous promise she could make. She had to mercilessly kill the person who tried to save Cao Tai from her hands.

Startled Sparrow Master did not answer Ding Ling's question. His eyes slowly swept across the crowd. Was he still trying to find a chance to charge out?

He saw some familiar faces in the crowd who were once Cao Tai's subordinates. Had they been bribed by Ding Ling, or had they been spies lying in ambush of Cao Tai from the beginning? Startled Sparrow Master was unable to answer. If one were to compare the power of a leader, Cao Tai and Ding Ling were really too far apart. Therefore, the Startled Sparrow Master would not blame these traitors. If he had the choice, he would also choose to become Ding Ling's subordinate.

However, the Startled Sparrow Master did not have a choice. Other than death, there was nothing that could change the faction he belonged to. He had never been loyal to Cao Tai before, but the object of his loyalty was his promise, the promise he had made to the abbot.

Startled Sparrow Master's gaze swept across the crowd, and finally stopped on Ding Ling's body.

If he had one last chance of survival, it would be Ding Ling.

He rushed forward, and before anyone could stop him, he kidnapped Ding Ling. Only by doing this could he protect the Cao Tai behind him. But could he, who had lost his Painting Sparrow, still do such a thing? Startled Sparrow Master was extremely suspicious.

However, he had no choice but to do so.

Startled Sparrow Master rushed towards Ding Ling, causing everyone to reveal an astonished expression.

Many of the people here had heard of the name of the bird. It was famous for its speed, and there were rumors that its movements were even more agile than that of birds. It could even fly like a bird in the sky. But from the looks of it, it was just an empty title.

Startled Sparrow Master's movement was too slow, so slow that it surprised everyone.

Without the Painting Sparrow s, and with his calf being blown to bits, he was no longer able to use such shocking speed.

"Don't attack." Ding Ling said loudly. She was afraid that others would randomly shoot or attack to protect her. If she accidentally killed Cao Tai who was behind Startled Sparrow Master, that would be a huge problem.

Ding Ling decided to do it herself as she took out the silver Desert Eagle from her waist and aimed at Startled Sparrow Master's knee.

"Bam!" With unerring accuracy, the bullet shot out from the Desert Eagle's muzzle and pierced through Startled Sparrow Master's knee.

"Good spear art!" The Taoist Qu clapped for Ding Ling. To hit a running target on the knee was indeed a matter for applause.

Ding Ling's face revealed a smile. From the very beginning, she was not only the king of all the people, she was also a pretty girl.

The only one who could not laugh was Startled Sparrow Master, he painfully knelt on the ground. One leg was blown to pieces, the other had been shot through the knee. He could no longer support his body. Even standing was an extravagant hope. How was the current him supposed to escape?

Cao Tai was tightly wrapped up by Yue Yang using a cloth and carried on his back. That way, he would have one hand free to fight. But was just one hand useful?

Startled Sparrow Master had to face thousands of enemies.

He knelt onto the ground and used his remaining arm to support himself, preventing Cao Tai from falling to the ground. This was the last thing he could do.

"Go kill him." Ding Ling said to the Taoist Murong behind her.

Taoist Murong had been waiting for this moment for a long time, he had long wanted to kill Startled Sparrow Master quickly so with Ding Ling's permission, he immediately broke into a grin and walked out of the group.

"He only knows how to do bad things. Let me do it." The goatee had long been dissatisfied with the big size Taoist Murong, what's more this guy was addicted to killing. It was hard to say if he would go overboard and kill him along with Cao Tai.

"There's no need to suspect, there's no doubt about it." Ding Ling smiled and said, "Uncle Niu, please trust my judgement."

"Yes." The goatee said no more. Ding Ling's trust was precisely what moved him the most.

Taoist Murong walked in front of him.

"Die." Without further ado, Taoist Murong clenched his fists and raised his arms high up in the air.

He was confident that with just one attack, he would be able to smash Startled Sparrow Master's brains out.

"Attack!" Ding Ling commanded from the back.

Taoist Murong swung his hand down fiercely.

Startled Sparrow Master raised his head and suddenly smiled. Looking at his falling fist, he smiled.

His life had finally reached its end. Just as Taoist Murong expected, Startled Sparrow Master's skull was smashed by his fist. Fresh blood and brain matter mixed together, turning into a pink liquid that sprinkled all over the ground.

Even after the Startled Sparrow Master died, he was still unable to bring Cao Tai out of the building.

To Ding Ling, the appearance of the Startled Sparrow Master was just a small interlude, in the end, Cao Tai had still fallen into his hands. However, this might be a good thing for her. After experiencing the death of the Startled Sparrow Master, Cao Tai's mental defenses would quickly collapse. At that time, it would be easy for her to uncover any of his secrets.

As expected, Taoist Murong retracted his hand after killing him. He heard the conversation between the goatee and Ding Ling, so he tried his best to suppress the desire to continue killing in his heart. He did not want to disappoint Ding Ling.

He grabbed the Cao Tai that was tied up behind Startled Sparrow Master. As long as he was brought to Ding Ling, he would complete the mission.

But when he used a bit more strength to grab Cao Tai and cut the piece of cloth that was tied to Cao Tai's body, his expression changed. Taoist Murong threw the person he was holding onto the ground. It was a dead man.

Ding Ling, Taoist Qu and the rest also walked over, following that, their faces also changed color.

The one carried on the back of the Startled Sparrow Master was not Cao Tai, but someone who had been dead for a long time.

This person was Cao Tai's trusted aide, imprisoned next to Cao Tai.
