Chapter 1371 - 1386: The Cunning Celestial Silkworm
"Then just come at me!" King Kong’s expression remained indifferent, as if death to him was merely a formality, without a trace of fear of annihilation, even displaying the solemn heroism of ancient warriors.
Celestial Silkworm continued to look at King Kong, puzzled, "King Kong, why do you do this? To betray Celestial Eagle Gang for someone you’ve never met, someone you have no ties with, is it worth it?"
"I, Celestial Silkworm, am a tough man who keeps my word. A loss is a loss; my life is equivalent to his. I said before, he could have killed me back then, but he didn’t. So, I will keep my promise. There’s no question of worth or not worth; do whatever you want!" King Kong said heavily.
"Hehe, such backbone, truly backbone." Celestial Silkworm coldly chuckled, then looked at King Kong and said, "I’ll make sure you thoroughly enjoy our Celestial Eagle Gang’s interrogation methods, guaranteed unforgettable for life."
"Go ahead," King Kong looked at Celestial Silkworm and said calmly, with no trace of fear in his expression.
"Bind him to that tree," Celestial Silkworm instructed two Assassins.
The two Assassins nodded, then dragged King Kong to a tree by the mansion’s yard, tying King Kong to it with rope.
With two broken ribs, King Kong had no strength to resist, and the more he resisted, the more severe the pain at the rib area would become.
At this moment, Celestial Silkworm walked to King Kong, unclasped his shirt, and attached over a dozen twenty-centimeter-long daggers to his waist, with a curved hook at the blade, like a fishhook. Imagine the feeling when these things are stabbed into the thigh and pulled out—it’s absolutely a fate worse than death!
Celestial Silkworm chuckled, pointed at his waist, looked at King Kong and said, "Do you know what this is for? It’s specially for dealing with traitors. I’m going to stab these daggers into your body, one by one."
King Kong’s expression remained calm, unchanged, and Celestial Silkworm waved his hand, causing blood to splatter from King Kong’s thighs. That’s right, two daggers pierced into King Kong’s thigh.
Blood slowly flowed down King Kong’s thighs. King Kong merely groaned, furrowing his brows, holding back the pain without making a sound.
"Hehe, truly with backbone, truly with backbone." Celestial Silkworm chuckled, waved his hand, and two daggers pierced into King Kong’s chest.
Celestial Silkworm pierced with precision, not into the chest cavity, because piercing the chest would be fatal. His goal was not to kill King Kong but to torture him, so he only stabbed into the thorax, with a centimeter away from the heart.
Instantly, King Kong’s chest was stained red with blood, yet King Kong was still furrowed and did not make a sound.
"King Kong, you know, it’s not the piercing that hurts the most; it’s the pulling out. That feeling, tsk... truly makes one’s heart ache." Celestial Silkworm spoke while mimicking the action.
Yet King Kong’s expression was unchanged, though possibly due to excessive bleeding, King Kong’s complexion was turning pale.
"Hehe, I can’t comprehend, what’s in your head to betray the Celestial Eagle Gang for a worthless betting promise. It’s truly disappointing." Celestial Silkworm shook his head in confusion, feeling deep disappointment in King Kong’s capabilities. King Kong was a vital cornerstone nurtured by the Celestial Eagle Gang, as his full potential unleashed brought unimaginable terror. But now, King Kong’s actions have led to punishment from the Celestial Eagle Gang, no one can save him.
"You know, Lin Mu is already dead." Celestial Silkworm sighed and then said to King Kong.
King Kong glanced at Celestial Silkworm, showing contempt in his eyes, "Do you think you’re capable of killing him?"
"Hehe, whether you believe it or not, I trust you understand our Celestial Eagle Gang’s strength. Sure, Lin Mu’s skills are formidable; perhaps one Assassin isn’t his match, nor are two. But what if three Assassins attacked together, what would the result be?"
"Three Assassins are still no match for me; those three guys are just losers!"
A mocking, contemptuous voice suddenly sounded behind Celestial Silkworm.
Celestial Silkworm heard this familiar yet strange voice, his facial expression fluctuating like ocean waves, ever-changing. He recognized the voice as Lin Mu’s, could it be...
Celestial Silkworm quickly turned around and saw Lin Mu walking over with a woman in his arms, smiling. The woman was Haihua.
Seeing Lin Mu’s appearance, Celestial Silkworm rubbed his eyes in disbelief; he never expected Lin Mu to appear here!
Based on his assessment, even if they hadn’t killed Lin Mu by this time, they surely exhausted him, as three top ten experts had been sent by the Celestial Eagle Gang!
Yet here was Lin Mu, relaxed and appearing in front of him; it was indeed bewildering, clearly indicating Lin Mu’s strength far surpassed Celestial Silkworm’s expectations.
"You, you’re not dead?" Celestial Silkworm pointed at Lin Mu, uttering in disbelief.
"Are you blind? Can’t you see me?" Lin Mu said, looking at Celestial Silkworm.
"Impossible! You’re not supposed to be alive!" Celestial Silkworm shouted, unwilling to accept the result, implying Lin Mu single-handedly defeated their three major experts!
The top ten ranked three assassins couldn’t just be dispatched like that, and Lin Mu achieved it in no time! This man’s skills are too terrifying!
"Hehe, you think their pathetic skills could handle me? You’ve overestimated your people, truly pathetic and lamentable! Poor guys!" Lin Mu shook his head in pity and contemplation, also grateful he arrived in time; otherwise, King Kong would have been tortured to death by these guys!
"Hmph, I never thought you could kill our Celestial Eagle Gang’s three assassins alone. Seems I underestimated you." Celestial Silkworm snorted coldly, glanced at Lin Mu, "But so what? Since you’re here, we’ll finally put you down."
"Oh? If you think you have the skill, feel free to try. I’ve never minded handling rats!" Lin Mu nonchalantly shrugged.
"Hehe, brag all you want! But let’s not rush; before taking you out, how about we play a game?" Celestial Silkworm sneered and then looked at King Kong, "King Kong, you’re so devoted to him, I wonder if he’s willing to make sacrifices for you. Your life is in our hands; whether you survive depends on him."
Lin Mu knew for sure that this fool Celestial Silkworm would definitely try some tricks again, but the situation is slightly complicated now, even though Lin Mu is confident of defeating Celestial Silkworm and his companions.
