Chapter 740: No Sea
Sam was surrounded by the black smoke as he used the shadow mode and bypassed the three ladies. The target is in the middle of all three of them and he definitely didn't think that Sam would just jump at him like that.
He is just a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator and he knew about the name Robin Hood who is the person that burned a Transcendent stage cultivator alive.
He wanted more people to present in the room so that he can use them as meat shields if he has to.
He knew that since this Robin hood, can enter his bedroom without anyone in the street full of guards noticing, he has to be careful. As for being a witness, he is just bluffing to buy some time to make sense of the situation.
This trick would have worked on normal people. A guy with confidence and calm will seem like a difficult target.
But Sam didn't care. No matter how confident a deer is it is still a deer at the end of the day. It might bluff a fox, but it can't bluff a lion. It can only become supper and the more it bluff the faster it will meet its fate.
The same thing happened now.
Sam held the man by his face and slammed him into the bed. The shadow mode was deactivated and he increased the gravity as he slammed him again and again.
The first hit destroyed the bed easily and they already hit the floor. Sam just slammed him without giving a chance and soon there is a hole in which they dropped down to the bottom floor.
The target finally managed to gather his senses and wines started popping up and threw Sam away.
Sam in turn and then threw a glass bottle straight at him.
It didn't do anything and the transparent liquid that fell on him didn't even do anything. But this guy is smart and he is not that savagely insane to ignore this.
Particularly, when the liquid is reacting to his wood elemental energy. The first thought that came to his mind is to run to the door and his anxiousness grew even more because Sam is not even worrying that he would escape.
Sam just followed him leisurely, when the target went out the room and was about to reach the main door of the hall.
At this moment, a small flame bird was created in his palm and slowly landed on the door which in turn started a bright orange fire.
The target ignored the immediate appearance of the fire and was about to open the door, but as soon he extended his hand towards the flame, his hand was caught on fire and he immediately took a step back and tried to put it out. It is spreading rapidly over his body and he can clearly see the part the transparent liquid was playing in it.
He abandoned the front entrance and ran through the hall towards the rear entrance of the mansion in another room.
But the small sparks that are falling on the floor along with some pieces of the burned flesh and the flame at the entrance are spreading all over the house.
Sam who is standing threw another glass bottle at him when he entered the rear room which made the fire from the arm of the target spread all over the rear room.
The target once again ran into a different room and this time, he left a small trail of fire behind him which propagated the flames and soon the whole house is on fire and Sam is not letting the fire die down by dropping the glass bottles.
After some futile attempts, the target who is more resilient than Sam imagined came running to him and begged in a painful voice.
"Please save me. I will do anything for you."
"I don't need you to do anything."
"Why are you doing this? It is about Sam, right? I can give you details, I will act as your double agent. I can get you more information."
"You don't have to say anything. I will get what I want."
By this time, the fire already alerted all the guards and the residents and they all came running towards the house. Sam leisurely raised his hand and performed another soul necromancy.
He must say, the vampire part of him is loving the necromancy. He is also having the urge to drink blood now and then, but he can curb that easily but this necromancy is also kind of becoming addictive because it is coming so easily to him.
After he got what he came for, he just left the burning house the same way he entered.
While going back, he is looking at another set of memories in which the target that was just burned is taking orders from someone else.
The current target is only in charge of a small portion of prison guards who are also part of the city guards, he is not that powerful. But the guy who gave orders to him to release the ten criminals is actually an initial stage transcendent level cultivator and also in charge of the whole security of the city.
This guy is someone who is extremely powerful within the city and his position is next only to the city lord and he is only answerable to the city lord himself.
Sam didn't go after him immediately, rather he wanted to wait for a good time.
He returned to the camp and rested for the night.
But right before dawn, everyone in the camp was at high alert as they came out of the tent and looked at the sky. Another meteor is striking down from the sky.
This time, Sam is not planning on going down. He placed a surveillance formation precisely to get a warning so that he wouldn't be caught off guard, just to fight back.
His whole body turned rocky and he crouched down a bit. A stance to jump up.
The energy is being pumped into the leg muscles crazily while the gravity in the spot he stood is being manipulated. He reduced the gravity so that he can have more output and jumped upwards.
His body shot up and met with the meteor that was coming down in midair.
The large meteor exploded and turned into a bunch of flaming rocks. It set the surrounding forest on fire while raining down on the camp.
The trio activated a defensive formation and the debris didn't harm the camp.
Sam who clashed with the meteor fell back down with the same force, but he turned his body into wind elemental fusion and reduced the impact of the fall.
As soon as he landed, he turned back normal and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The attack is more than what he thought. When he clashed with that meteor, his insides shook and he felt the full force of the strike.
This is not just using the size of the rock and the flames to their usage, they are even using the gravity to their usage.
From the force, it came and the mass it has, it didn't come out of thin air. It definitely fell from a large height, but for some reason, they managed to hide that.
Sam really wanted to know who is behind these attacks and he is trying to find that person by slowly going back through the chain of command.
The target he dealt with last night is also part of that command. As for the gruesome death, it is to provoke the opponent, but it is just in the beginning phase and didn't achieve the desired result yet.
But he doesn't want to hurry. He will surely run through the process, but he decided to make some tweaks. He took a swig of wine and spoke to his friends.
"I want you guys to do something for me…"
He started giving the instructions and the trio kept on nodding and asking their doubts. Soon they learned everything they have to and disappeared into the forest.
Sam tidied himself up made some tweaks to the formations waiting for Raunak to come.
Last night, that guy left this place and didn't come back yet. So, he is waiting for him to come back.
"How are you guys? I saw the explosion in the sky. Many people from the city saw it, but from the looks of it is different from before."
Raunak asked as soon as he came.
"We are fine. The Meteorite was destroyed before it hit the ground, that is why it looked different. By the way, why didn't any city guards come here?"
Raunak just pursed his lips and didn't answer.
Seeing his silence, Sam didn't push it and asked.
"I have something to sell to the Sirens. Is there a way to contact them?"
"Sirens? What do you want to contact them for?" Raunak was surprised and it is apparent in his tone which surprised Sam a bit.
Then only he met with a thought. He didn't meet a single siren since he came to this planet and he didn't see a single city with a seashore. Even the trio didn't mention anything about a sea. This is indeed a bit weird.
