Chapter 1278 It's not like you're guaranteed a job
The leader of the bandits struggled to raise his head, staring intently at Lei Zhen, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"Cough cough...you...you dare to..."
He coughed up blood and threatened in a hoarse voice:
"If we die here, the Blood Butcher leader... will definitely... not let you go..."
"..."
Lei Zhen stared at him expressionlessly, neither making a move nor speaking.
He simply stepped aside and turned his gaze to Ning Ruan, who was slowly getting up from the spirit boat.
She lightly touched the top of the spirit boat and leaped onto the crimson longsword.
The long sword arrived suddenly.
Ning Ruan, holding the gourd in her hand, said with a half-smile:
"Oh? If we kill you, the Blood Butcher leader won't let us go?"
"You don't actually think that I said I'd spare your lives because I'm afraid of your leader, do you?"
"Originally, it didn't matter whether we killed them or not, but now... I'm genuinely curious, what exactly are you planning to do to keep us here?"
As she spoke, she extended a finger and gently pointed at the Boundless Bandit.
"Thunderous Strike".
Ning Ruan's voice was still clear and melodious, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.
"kill him."
"..."
This instruction came very suddenly.
But Lei Zhen did not hesitate at all.
He took a step forward, and lightning surged around him once more.
This time, there was no holding back.
"Do not--"
The bandit who had just been threatening them screamed in terror and desperately tried to escape.
But under the full force of the Golden Core Realm Thunder Leopard Clan, how could he possibly have a chance to escape?
"boom!"
The familiar purple lightning struck him precisely on the head.
The leader of the bandits froze instantly, and then, to everyone's horror, turned into a charred corpse.
The whole process took only a fleeting moment.
The remaining four bandits were trembling with fear. They dared not even breathe loudly, let alone threaten anyone.
They actually dared to kill someone!
They dared to attack even though they knew who their leader was!
How dare they?
Are you really not afraid of the leader's revenge?
Ning Ruan didn't even glance at the corpse beside her, turning to look at the four surviving members of the Boundless Bandits.
“You guys are a bit smarter than him.”
She asked with a smile, "Do you want to live?"
Do you want to live?
These three words, light and airy, were like a ray of light, instantly illuminating the despairing hearts of the four bandits.
live!
Of course I want to live!
Given the chance to live, who would want to die?
The four of them raised their heads almost simultaneously, their eyes blazing with a strong will to survive, nodding frantically as if they were pounding garlic.
"Yes! We want to live!"
"Senior, spare my life! Fellow Daoist, spare my life!"
Ning Ruan smiled, her eyes crinkling.
She shook the gourd in her hand: "Since you want to live, then it's easy to talk about."
"I am a fair person. We are all Wuyin Bandits, so of course I can't favor one over the other. Let's stick to the old rules."
She said slowly, "If you want to live, tell each other about the bad things you've done. The more you tell, the better your chances of survival."
"..."
Exactly the same words.
Lei Zhen's eyelids twitched slightly, and he silently took another step back.
The bandits behind him were even more terrified, their heads hanging even lower.
Again.
This devil's game has begun again.
After a brief moment of astonishment, the four henchmen of the Blood Butcher leader all breathed a sigh of relief.
That's it!
They understand this rule!
Isn't it just selling out your teammates?
In the boundless world of bandits, who can one trust besides oneself?
Who hasn't betrayed their comrades?
There was barely any hesitation.
One cultivator then pointed directly at another: "He killed his entire family to cultivate the secret technique. Is that a bad thing?"
Ning Ruan smiled and looked at him: "What do you think?"
Before he could answer, the cultivator who had been suddenly pointed at had already started cursing, "They were killed by me willingly, how can that be a bad thing? Besides, they didn't die in vain. Since they were family, what's wrong with them helping me break through to a higher realm?"
"Voluntary? That's hard to believe," another cultivator sneered. "It's said that your niece, who was lucky enough to survive, is still searching the world for you to take revenge. Do you dare to say to her that the death of your whole family was voluntary?"
“They are my family. If I say it’s voluntary, then it’s voluntary. As for my little niece…”
The monk who spoke sneered:
"She's not just looking for me, is she? Which bandit wouldn't she attack if she encountered him? Besides, what kind of good person are you? You like any cultivator with a bit of good looks, regardless of gender. How many have died in your bed? I'm afraid you've lost count."
"..."
The scene instantly became chaotic, yet familiar.
At least for the endless bandits on deck, and the group of monks who had paid protection money...
I've seen this kind of scene far too many times.
The only ones who felt shocked were the two female cultivators who were still completely bewildered.
As they listened to the accusations leveled, one evil deed after another was exposed.
Both of them felt a chill run through their bodies.
His face grew increasingly pale.
Originally, I didn't think Wuyin Fei would be a good person.
But the atrocities they heard with their own ears were still a hundred times more terrifying than they had imagined.
The only one who was truly interested was Ning Ruan.
She stood on a flying sword, holding a gourd in her hand, drinking milk tea while listening with great interest.
Occasionally, he would nod seriously, as if he were making a firm judgment.
a long time.
The four of them finally talked until their throats were dry, and they could no longer find any new accusations. Only then did the argument gradually subside.
Then they all stared intently at Ning Ruan with a mixture of fear and hope, as if awaiting their final judgment.
"Crack, snap, snap."
Ning Ruan clapped her hands lightly, the crisp sound of her applause standing out clearly in the deathly silence of the boundless realm.
"Wonderful, really wonderful."
Her gaze swept over the four people.
Finally, the blame fell on the two bandits with the most crimes: "Especially you two, you are truly the best of the best, the ultimate scum."
"?"
The two were clearly stunned, not yet realizing the meaning behind those words.
The next moment, Ning Ruan tilted her head slightly and looked at Lei Zhen beside her.
Then he extended his finger and gently pointed at the two of them.
The sound remained crisp and pleasant.
"Kill them."
"?"
This time, even Lei Zhen was almost caught off guard.
Was he killed?
Shouldn't it be included in the painting?
The two bandits, who had thought they had escaped with their lives, were now filled with disbelief and terror.
"Why... why?"
"Didn't you say... the more you talk, the better your chances of survival? We've talked the most!"
The two screamed almost simultaneously.
Ning Ruan smiled as she looked at the two clearly broken Wuyin Bandits:
"correct."
She nodded matter-of-factly. "What I'm saying is that you have a chance to live."
She paused, took a sip of her milk tea, and slowly added:
"There's a chance to live, but it's not a guaranteed life."
"What's wrong with this?"
