Chapter 1303 - Tricking
Disciple One and Disciple Two removed the masks of the targets at the same time and they were shocked.
Any of the two targets that they captured is the real target.
"Not the target. An Undead."
"Mine is not the target either. An Undead."
They couldn't help but feel stumped. Once again, Sam fooled them and this time, he did so collectively.
Disciple One looked at the undead creature in front of him and suddenly sensed the energy fluctuations.
"Move. Move. Brother Two move away from the undead and meet me back at the estate."
But as soon as he finished his words…
*BOOM*
An explosion happened from the body that was cornered. The three disciples were blown away, but the closest one to the body lost one of his arms because before he crashed into a rock nearby.
The same thing happened on the other end. Disciple Two is completely fine, but the other two were unable to escape completely unscathed. At least, they didn't lose any limbs, they had some fractures all over the body.
Disciple One gritted his teeth as he looked at the exploded body hatefully, he looked at his injured brothers and cursed Sam and his ancestors for causing this.
Meanwhile, back at the estate, Sam is standing at the gate. He is not wearing the cloak and the mask. He just showed the face directly. Even though he doesn't like this face, it really did come in handy this time.
The disciples were so held upon his description as he moved in the mask and the cloak since the beginning that they forgot that he has a face. He is not some faceless creature just because he lost his own face.
He just entered in this normal attire without any mask and came straight to the city without any trouble. All the people that dressed up as him were the small mercenaries he hired to do his own bidding. He explicitly gave them instructions that they should give little resistance and just surrender.
With big enough reward they did that easily. All he needed was to draw inscriptions on a bunch of cloaks and masks that could completely hide their faces.
As for the two undead creatures that are placed in the mix, they are obviously controlled by the specter and they were set up miniature liquid energy cells. Sam didn't have many, to begin with, so he has to make do with what he has got.
So he set up small ones in these undead creatures. He knew the guards are not going to be much trouble. The specter who controlled the Three ghosts for a while fighting against strong people could easily manage to create these undead creatures to deal with some small guards.
They ran away making the disciples split up and now the estate is completely open for him to deal with.
He took out a small liquid energy cell from his storage. Then with just a thought, there is some mechanical motion within the hand and a small slot opens up.
A slot that perfectly fits the liquid energy cell. As soon as he placed it, the arm started glowing from within the joints, and instantly the five finger cannons and the cannon in the middle of the palm opened up with energy gathering at it.
Sam aimed it at the main entrance and shot it down.
The energy beams went past the entrance and directly destroyed the building that was behind the gate. The guards standing behind the gate were dead and none of their bodies were left in a single piece.
He stepped forward and kept on shooting. Just one energy cell has a lot of power. He destroyed a lot of people within the first two minutes.
The leaders of the organization didn't even have any courage to face up against Sam, but since they felt like it is their last day, they decided to just go with it and put up the last fight.
The presence of the disciples made them lose all hope. So, now they are just like chickens that gave up on their lives and got ready for the slaughter but tried to put up the final resistance anyway.
Sam walked through all of this like he is walking in a park.
While Sam is going through the targets at a rapid, the people that marked him as the target are currently in a deep pickle.
The explosion turned out to be the least of their problems at the moment because as soon as they came out of the initial shock, they realized that their situation is tougher than they had initially anticipated.
The formations they placed to trap 'Sam' were affected by the liquid energy cell explosion. They are the space freezing formations and they are quite similar to the one Sam altered and sent back to the disciples through the Disciple Five a few days ago.
They were impacted by the energy turbulence that occurred due to the explosion and now they are in such a terrible state that the formation created several spatial rends around them.
If they were normal rends, they would have been able to mend them easily. It would have been a piece of cake with his level, but the situation is a bit troublesome because the formations they placed are set for capturing an Astral Plane Consummate stage cultivator.
So, the failure impact was also that high. The spatial turbulence is too chaotic and he needs to let the rends stabilize themselves a bit and then only would he be able to mend the cracks and move from that place.
If not for the difference in the locations of the spatial rends and the injuries, it could be considered that the same situation is mirroring on two ends. Disciple two is also facing the same trouble.
Disciple One looked at the situation of his brothers and understood one thing clearly. Even this time, they are done for. They are not going to catch Sam this time and he is going to get away just like before.
He looked towards the city and he could see a few people that are running away due to the chaos in the city.
This is one more loss for him.
He waited an hour before the space stabilized a bit and started mending the extra rends and then he went to his brothers to give them medicine. The situation on the other end was a bit better, so by the time Disciple one and his team went back to the estate, Disciple two is already there.
They looked at the vast ruin left behind by Sam. He did fast. Faster than they thought. An organization that has over three hundred members and Sam didn't even take a hour and a half to destroy them. Except for the few kids and helpless youngsters, there was not even a single person left.
Not only did they fail to capture him while he destroyed an organization under their nose, but four of the six were also injured.
They fell for the oldest trick in the book and they are supposed to be the best of the best subordinates working for Sivan.
They felt embarrassed. They could already imagine the disappointed expression of their master.
But they could only go back.
They met with their master the next day.
Butler Si looked at them and sighed.
"Can you guys do it or should I go by myself?" He asked directly and from his tone, he is not even being sarcastic, he is completely serious about this.
"Master, please don't take this away from us. We will avenge ourselves no matter what."
"I gave you the plausible location and time and he came within those constraints. I cannot help but doubt your capability in handling him and the more losses you suffer, the more emotional you are going to become and the easier it would be for him to play you like the fools you are."
"We will handle this matter. Please just give us the next location he would be in. We would definitely capture him this time."
"What is there for me to give you? He started destroying this set of organizations and with the loss you suffered, he wouldn't be stopping. He might even be full of confidence and delight.
Go back to that Eighteen-star realm and set up a trap in one of the branches. If you are lucky, he might even come there drunk with the victory and might even be able to capture him."
With that, Butler Si left without even looking back.
Disciple One gritted his teeth and left along with his fellow disciples.
The injuries were not too severe, so they recovered pretty quickly. Every one of them is angry and they are really looking forward to destroying Sam.
But what they don't know is that Sam is also looking forward to meeting them once again as he had still a few tricks up his sleeve to show them.
