Chapter 181: Old foggies trying to outdo each other
Yun Jhin entered the building with a gait that could only be explained as arrogant! His nose was high into the air and he had a sneer on his face as he opened the door of the building and stridden in like he owned the place.
He gave out a small glance to the guards at the forefront before giving out a snort and not saying anything.
The guards were used to this type of acting as they had served 5 old fogies that acted all the same.
Then they looked at each other before transmitting some information towards each other:
"Who is this old fool?"
"Someone the other 5 knows maybe?"
"A lot of old folk walk through here every day how should I remember all of their wrinkle-filled faces."
"Should we just let him in?"
"Eh, what if he is a con artist who wants to get closer to the 5 heads? We were put here to filter in the trash so we still have to ask him."
One of the guards got a little bit closer to Yun Jhin and opened his mouth to ask who he was but suddenly Yun Jhin started to make a scene:
"They beat my man to such an extent and they invite me for tea but they don't even bother to show up themselves, who are these shameless people?"
"Ptui, what kind of retards are these heads of the black market? I swear I'm going to bury all of them in money the next transaction I will do!"
The guards started sweating as the one who approached slowly backed away before quickly running to report the identity of the old man.
When the 5 heads who were enjoying their 'dinner' with 5 young ladies were interrupted by the guard they almost lopped his head off his shoulder but when they heard what kind of insults the old man who they thought would be their new lackey said their faces turned as red as a boiled lobster.
"This damn fool, who does he think he is? He even used that fatty as an in-between, he must be a weakling with experience! We shall show him what the true bigshots do in this situation!"
"Yeah!" The other four chorussed to the old man who said that.
All 5 old men were looking pretty normal at first glance, 2 of them wore glasses and had a clean shaved face while the other three had beards that reached their waists and were bald, their faces were all so wrinkled you could see patterns of certain words on them but their bodies were still looking to be pretty strong for their ages.
Yun Jhin observation told him that they were half a foot in the grave at this point since they were all humans with lower lifespans and their cultivations were only at the lower stages of the God realm so their battle power might have ever receded due to their old age and inactivity in combat.
From their loose attires, Yun Jhin could see that they have been 'enjoying' themselves before he came so they must have been doing this quite often as they wanted to have their last days alive to be enjoyable.
Yun Jhin glance over them was reciprocated as one of the old men with glasses glared at him before saying:
"You are damn shameless don't you think? Using that fatty to intercept our shares in the black market? You were doing it so stealthy as well, if it wasn't for our accountant telling us your movements in the last second you might have become the owner of quite a few important businesses that were our lifeblood!"
Yun Jhin snorted as he told them with a cold voice:
"And? In this type of work there are no friends but only benefits, what type of benefits would I get if I left you alone? And would they beat the benefits of taking over your businesses?"
"You have even beaten him to such a state that you even injured his soul and you invited me to a tea party then you didn't even bother to show up the moment I arrived? Aren't you the shameless ones? You didn't even let that boy heal properly!"
The old men had thick faces so they said:
"As your middle-man, he deserves what he got!"
"Ok since he deserves what he got then why have you invited me here then? Want to do the same thing to me?"
The 5 old men chuckled as they said:
"No, no of course not, we aren't coarse men who would attack someone of your caliber, from your moves we can all see that you are an experienced fellow that would be a great addition to our team. Why don't you join us as the 6th head of the black market?"
Yun Jhin seemed to ponder the invitation for a few seconds before he shook his head and said:
"To be honest it's quite tempting, to say the least, but..."
"But?"
The 5 old men couldn't understand why Yun Jhin would have doubts about their invitation, well they could but they didn't think that he would refuse them, after all, he was currently surrounded.
"But I don't think you guys will be able to handle me!"
Suddenly Yun Jhin's figure disappeared as he appeared behind them with one head that carried glasses on its face the head started to shout in fear as he didn't feel his body anymore and it struggled to get out of Yun Jhin's grasp.
Yun Jhin chuckled as he clenched his hand and destroyed the head breaking it into pieces that he absorbed along with the fallen body.
Everything happened extremely quickly but the moment the 4 felt their compatriot die they immediately entered a formation as they activated the one that surrounded the building creating an energy chain reaction that exploded the place where Yun Jhin stood.
In Yun Jhin's place remained an afterimage as he disappeared using his stealth technique, unlike Yuan Fang, there was no one else who could disrupt this state of his in the mortal realm, the others started to think that Yun Jhin had run away after the semi-successful assassination attempt only for the other man with glasses to disappear right in their faces! It was as if the earth ate him as he just disappeared leaving only empty air!
The other 3 huddled against each other back to back so they would be able to defend each other properly in a triangle formation.
Yun Jhin couldn't have killed the other two so easily if they didn't let their guards down and they were also quite 'exhausted' from their 'activities' they were also taken directly out of their enjoyment which made them irascible, a mind full of emotions couldn't see the mountain in front of it, combined with their old age and receding power made them easy to kill. So while they were both distracted and angered Yun Jhin took two of them out in one move!
But in this situation, their minds were sobered up in one go and their auras flared to life as they opened their eyes wide, their God realm cultivation bases flared to life as they glared at the air around them, they gritted their teeth but they didn't let emotions control them anymore. Now they were back at full power and ready to attack and get rid of Yun Jhin!
Their backs were filled with sweat as they couldn't hear feel or sense anything from Yun Jhin... it was as if he disappeared the same way as their compatriot as if he didn't even exist in the first place!
Yun Jhin's eyes narrowed as he looked at the triangle formation and their strengthened aura, it could get harder and harder to kill them as their potential would recover, anyone who didn't fight for long times and decided to 'enjoy' themselves in debauchery wine and parties would end up rusty but cultivators had a great memory so with enough time and the right situation they could recover their peak battle power quite easily unless their bodies wouldn't be able to handle their peak battle power these old folks would become as strong as the early God Realm stages.
While Yun Jhin could fight on par with the early God Realm experts weaklings such as these folks there was still a cultivation difference so he wouldn't be able to kill them as easily as he did before.
While he did kill two birds with one stone he startled the others near them so it couldn't be said to have been a perfect hunt and if he ever left and tried to come back their defenses would be even better and their cautiousness would be off the chart.
So in this situation, he needed to get rid of the remaining three of them if he wanted to take over the black market properly... while he could control those at the sage realm and below as long as he tortured them enough time this strategy wouldn't work on God Realm experts!
