Two days later, the rcenary group was waiting on one of the main streets of this oasis town.
They had picked this spot since it was the best place for them to execute their plan. It was a spacious place with plenty of people that would provide them with distractions if they needed them.
So they chose to execute their plan here.
But the most important thing was that this was one of the few places that 'Mu Bao Bao' went during the day.
'Mu Bao Bao' mainly cooped herself up in her room and didn't go out unless she absolutely needed to. This was one of the tis where she absolutely needed to.
She would co out every day at noon to head to a restaurant to get so food.
At the sa ti, she would also bring food back so that she wouldn't have to head out during the evening for dinner.
So this was one of the few tis that she would appear during the day.
It was like clockwork where she left the inn right when the sun was at its highest point in the sky.
Once she ca out, she didn't bother looking at anyone as she walked to the main street and headed to the restaurant that she went to everyday. This was one of the biggest restaurants in the city that had many custors, so it was easy for her to blend in and get a al without attracting attention.
That was most likely why she chose to co to this place each day.
Once she ca out, she was imdiately marked by the rcenary group who had been waiting on standby. The rogue was the one that was hiding and watching as she made her way towards the main street.
When she finally arrived at the main street, the rogue sent a secret signal to the other three mbers of the group who had been waiting on the main street.
As soon as they received their signal, they made their way to their positions.
The bearded man was walking down the street with the woman holding his arm. The other man was walking down the street from the opposite direction.
The three of them had all slowed down their pace so that 'Mu Bao Bao' would make it to the center of the street before they would.
During this ti, the rogue had blended in with the crowd and was already following behind 'Mu Bao Bao'. He was completely blended in, so he was ready to strike as soon as the opportunity arrived.
Once they all arrived in the center of this main street, there was a commotion that started.
As for who started this commotion, it was the three who had been walking down the street.
The other male mber of the rcenary group suddenly bumped into the woman and knocked her down. He then continued walking forward without saying a single thing, as if he didn't even see it.
This seed like a very normal thing, but the bearded man decided to escalate this.
He grabbed the other man by the shoulder and said, "I think you owe the lady an apology."
The mont that he said this, the other man turned around and glared at the bearded man before saying in a loud voice, "Huh? What did you say?"
It was at this point that they started attracting the attention of the crowd around them.
The people started watching the three of them, but not a single person ca forward to help them. They all watched with looks that seed like they were just enjoying the show.
It was as if things like this were common in this world.
But then again, these things were indeed common in this world…
The bearded man didn't back down as he said in a deeper and more firm voice, "I said, I think you owe the lady an apology."
The other man didn't back down either as he said in a gruff voice, "And if I don't?"
There was a strong confrontational aura that filled the air after they said this.
Seeing this, the crowd also began looking very excited as they all waited for what they expected to happen.
But the ones that were involved didn't do anything as they just glared at each other.
In reality, they were all looking at a certain sothing out of the corner of their eyes.
They were all watching as 'Mu Bao Bao' made her way through the crowd as if she didn't care about them at all.
If they couldn't distract her with this, then they wouldn't be able to execute the second part of their plan…
So in the end, they had no choice but to escalate this matter.
The woman ca forward to take the bearded man's arm and said, "Big brother, it doesn't matter. Let's go."
The bearded man didn't say a thing because before he could say anything, the other man said with a taunting laugh, "Ha, it seems like it's pretty clear who wears the pants here."
Then before he could say anything else, he saw that there was a punch flying at him.
The bearded man had punched at him the mont his voice fell, as if he was trying to catch him off guard. However, the other man hadn't let his guard down at all and had easily dodged out of the way of the punch.
Once he dodged this punch, he also threw his own punch out at the bearded man.
The bearded man also easily dodged out of the way of this punch.
Just like this, the crowd was filled with excitent as the two of them fought like they had expected.
But to the surprise of the crowd, the fighting beca more and more intense.
Both of them turned out to be cultivators and they started using their spiritual energy with their attacks.
This affected the surrounding area more and more, so the crowd was forced to move away from the two of them to avoid getting caught up in their attacks.
The movent of the crowd caught 'Mu Bao Bao' who was making her way through to the restaurant that she normally ate at. She had no choice but to stop and see what was happening in the center of the crowd.
The rogue could have struck at this mont, but he didn't rush and he slowly moved himself into position. Unlike 'Mu Bao Bao', he was able to easily adapt to the swaying of the crowd, so he wasn't affected by them at all.
In the center of the crowd, the fighting between the two n beca even more intense and the crowd had no choice but to move abc even further.
It was at this point that 'Mu Bao Bao' was completely caught up in the movent of the crowd.
Even if she wanted to move, she could only go along with the crowd and couldn't move as she wished.
It was also at this mont that the rogue decided to strike.
He made his way behind her and in one smooth move, he pulled at her bag while also bringing a bag that was similar to the one that she had forward. He was planning on switching the two without being detected at all.
It was just too bad that…he wasn't able to take her bag at all.
The mont that he pulled on 'Mu Bao Bao's' bag, he found that it was like pulling on sothing that was made of iron. No matter how he tried to take it from her, he couldn't move it a single inch.
When the rogue looked over, he found that 'Mu Bao Bao' was looking right at him.
When he t her gaze, he felt an intense chill run down his spine. This was a feeling that he had never felt before, even in all his years of working as a rcenary risking his life.
This was the feeling of absolute death.
With this feeling running through him, the rogue made an instant decision.
He let go of the bag and imdiately turned to run. He used all of his skills to blend into
the crowd as he ran as fast as his legs would carry him.
Unfortunately for him, they couldn't carry him away fast enough.
'Mu Bao Bao' raised her hand and there was a shiny sword that appeared in that hand.
In one swift move, she brought the sword down as she disappeared from where she had been standing. When she reappeared again, she was flying over the rogue who was still running as fast as he could.
Even when the sword cut through his skull, he couldn't understand what was happening.
It was only when the world was split in half that he finally realized that he had been cut.
The sword had cut right through the middle of the rogue, bisecting him in half.
The two sides of the rogue fell separately and there was a large splash of blood that appeared.
This large splash of blood was hard to ignore as it splashed onto the people around them.
Then there was a mont of silence before soone who had been splashed scread out. The mont that this scream rang out through the crowd, everyone turned to look at where it ca from.
That included the two who were fighting in the middle.
They all turned to see 'Mu Bao Bao' standing over the bisected corpse of the rogue.
Then without hesitation, everyone turned to run away while screaming. Not a single person dared to hesitate and wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible.
