Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 49: A Glimmer of Hope!

It really was that group of kidnappers...

Zhu Que's heart sank slightly when he saw the mayor's daughter.

These people kidnapped the mayor's daughter, but they didn't ask for money, magical artifacts, or even any other demands.

This suggests they must have a more covert purpose.

Such people are often more dangerous.

Tang Ke, Chu Luo, and the others were even more stunned.

Only then did they realize that these people were the kidnappers who had abducted the mayor's children.

"Help me..."

When Lu Wanning saw them, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a tearful voice:

"Please save me... My dad is the town mayor... If you save me... he'll definitely repay you handsomely..."

Seeing her pitiful appearance.

Chu Luo felt a surge of excitement, and his blood rushed to his head simultaneously.

"Boss Qiao, I'm not threatening you, but you kidnapped the mayor's daughter, and now you've kidnapped us. If anything happens to us, you definitely won't leave Guangyang City alive!"

"You're a little out of the loop."

Qiao Kun chuckled lightly: "There was never any 'you' in the beginning; my only target was them."

As he spoke, he pointed to Tang Ke, Lu Wanning, and a group of other girls.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Chu Luo took a few steps back alertly.

"Since men are of no use to me, of course I have to kill them to silence them."

Qiao Kun grinned, his two gold teeth gleaming, and raised his right hand, which was wearing a gauntlet for controlling objects.

"I just got my hands on a new magical artifact, let's test its power on you guys!"

Was the Object Control Gauntlet something he just acquired?

Zhu Que was taken aback upon hearing this.

So, Qiao Kun wasn't Meng Laoda's direct customer; he bought it from someone else.

now.

Chu Luo and the others realized what Qiao Kun was going to do.

"I'm warning you..."

A boy pointed at Qiao Kun and shouted.

however.

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Kun raised his hand and aimed it at him, instantly locking onto him from a distance with his magic-controlling hand guard.

"call!"

The boy suddenly flew into the air, as if he had been grabbed by an invisible hand and was suspended in mid-air.

"Haha, this is so much fun!"

Qiao Kun screamed, his face full of excitement.

"drink!"

The boy gave a soft shout, made a hand seal, and a golden light burst forth from his palm, attempting to unleash a spell to counter Qiao Kun.

But Qiao Kun suddenly pressed down—

"Bang!!"

The boy suddenly fell from mid-air, smashing the ground and creating a crack, and the golden light in his palm dissipated.

"Cough cough..." The boy coughed up blood.

"That's so interesting!"

Qiao Kun laughed even harder, and made a rotating motion with his right hand as if he were tightening a screw.

"Snap, snap, snap!!"

A series of crisp cracking sounds as bones broke.

The boy's bones were broken one by one, and with his heart-wrenching screams, his whole body was twisted into a "pretzel".

"..."

The warehouse fell into a deathly silence.

Tang Ke and the others were stunned by this cruel scene.

Zhu Que also felt a chill run down his spine.

Oh no, Qiao Kun is going to kill all the boys, including me. Looks like I can't fool him by pretending to be a member of the fifth class anymore...

Thinking about this...

He had been hiding behind the crowd, and without making a sound, he took out the broken artifact and began to imitate a magical artifact for self-defense.

Because only he could see the "simulated nine-square grid," no one noticed his actions throughout the entire process.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Qiao Kun.

While he was forging magical artifacts, Qiao Kun used the same cruel methods to kill several boys.

Finally, he set his sights on Chu Luo.

"Hey, you kid from the Chu family, it's your turn~"

Qiao Kun licked his lips.

"Qiao Kun! If you really dare to touch me, the Chu family will never let you off!" Chu Luo's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Is this a real threat this time?" Qiao Kun asked with a half-smile.

"That's right! It's a threat!"

Chu Luo hardened his heart and gritted his teeth, saying, "If you dare to lay a finger on me, the Chu family will never forgive you!"

"Hahaha, I'll see how you manage to get away with this."

Qiao Kun laughed loudly, then raised his hand and aimed it at Chu Luo.

Chu Luo reacted extremely quickly, his hands rapidly forming hand seals while he chanted incantations:

"Spiritual energy forms a barrier, as solid as a rock, indestructible, protected by profound light!"

"Buzz!"

A surge of turbid yellow spiritual energy erupted forth, rapidly condensing in front of him and transforming into a semi-transparent yellow light shield.

Qiao Kun grinned maliciously and suddenly clenched his right hand.

"Crunch!!"

A piercing, distorted sound suddenly rang out.

The seemingly sturdy light shield began to twist and deform, and shocking cracks appeared on its surface.

"Snap—!"

The next second, the light shield shattered with a bang, turning into countless points of light and dissipating.

"What...?"

Chu Luo's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before he could react, an invisible force suddenly struck, gripping his body tightly.

Chu Luo flew up uncontrollably, like a rag doll, and was thrown away by Qiao Kun.

"Bang!!"

Chu Luo crashed heavily into the steel frame, breaking more than a dozen bones in his body, and experiencing excruciating pain.

"The Chu family...will not let you get away with this..."

Chu Luo gritted his teeth in pain.

"ah--"

A scream suddenly erupted from the crowd, and a girl broke down emotionally, running wildly toward the warehouse door.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Pfft! Pfft!"

One of the kidnappers fired two precise shots into her calves.

"Aaaaaah—!"

The girl fell heavily to the ground, letting out a piercing scream.

One of the kidnappers walked over, grabbed the girl's leg, and dragged her back like a dead dog.

The girl cried and struggled all the way, leaving scratches on the ground with her fingernails, but to no avail.

"Be careful!"

Qiao Kun frowned and shouted, "Don't kill them! The men are fine, but these women are very precious; killing even one would be a huge loss!"

"Yes, boss!"

The kidnappers quickly responded.

"You beasts!!"

Tang Ke could no longer hold back. The injured girl was her best friend who had grown up with her since childhood.

Seeing her best friend's miserable state, her anger finally erupted.

"You kidnapped us, you must have some demands, right? Now you're killing and injuring people, what exactly do you want?!"

"Why would I need to tell you what I'm doing, little sister?" Qiao Kun sneered.

"Students!"

Tang Ke was furious and turned to look at her classmates.

"Rather than sit and wait to die, it's better to fight to the death!"

"We outnumber them! If we unite and resist, we might still have a chance to escape!"

Her words echoed in the warehouse.

but--

No one responded.

The crowd looked at each other, some lowered their heads, some avoided her gaze, and some hesitated and struggled.

But in the end, they all chose to remain silent.

"We can't just wait to die like this!" Tang Ke continued to persuade.

"..."

Are you really willing to be slaughtered?

"..."

"Resistance offers at least a glimmer of hope! Without resistance, we have no chance at all!"

"..."

Still silent.

No one dared to step forward.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Qiao Kun laughed so hard he almost fell over. "Little sister, you're quite brave. Too bad, you can't fight me all by yourself."

"..."

Tang Ke's face was pale, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. She really couldn't do anything on her own.

Qiao Kun chuckled and said, "Stop struggling in vain, just behave yourself..."

"Boss Qiao..."

Just then.

A sudden voice interrupted: "You're so good, you should be able to take on two people at once, right?"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Suddenly, a fifth-class youth with abnormally pale skin and obvious signs of physical deformity stepped forward.

Everyone was completely taken aback.

"I hope you're out of work..."

Tang Ke was stunned. She hadn't expected that after all her appeals, Zhu Que would stand with her.

Zhu Que didn't want to be the first to stick his neck out, but this was a last resort.

Because Qiao Kun clearly intended to kill all the boys, after Chu Luo, he would be next.

Rather than falling into complete passivity, it's better to take the initiative and fight for a chance to survive while someone still dares to resist.

And the timing was perfect—

Qiao Kun used the Artifact Control Gauntlet continuously for over a minute, which was enough to trigger the side effects of the pirated magical artifact!
