Chapter 496: Chapter 493: Infinite Fear

Seeing Xiao Tian’s flesh-exposed fingers covered in blood, and then glancing at his own elite fighters who hesitated to move forward, the old butler was so enraged he almost spat blood: ”What the hell are you looking at, hurry up and save the young master!”

His own elite’s lack of courage had filled the old butler with despair and anger, prompting him to swear—a rare occurrence, highlighting his immense rage!

The old butler’s furious voice, like thunder, pulled everyone out from endless fear, yet upon seeing the glowing Four-Pointed Star pattern before them, they still hesitated, afraid to move.

Seeing that Xiao Tian was about to be stomped on the chest by Lauren, the old butler shouted: ”That’s just an illusion that foreign devil used to scare you, and you still stupidly believe it?!”

Realizing they could no longer delay, finally one of them gritted their teeth, closed their eyes, and charged forward...

This expert moved rapidly, reaching Lauren’s Four Stars Teleportation Array in the blink of an eye, but soon his body began to slowly sink.

Noticing something wrong, the expert opened his eyes, and saw his ankle sinking into the array. Panicking, he struggled furiously, trying to escape this swamp-like danger.

The other experts, witnessing this eerie scene play out again, felt fear mixed with an inescapable sense of relief at not being the first to charge and fall victim to that fatal ”Magic Swamp”!

Lauren’s array being intruded upon caused his body to tremble, and sensing his True Qi rapidly draining, he had no choice but to momentarily abandon Xiao Tian, turning his attention to the Zhong Family expert trapped in the array.

Seeing the expert already submerged to his thighs and about to go past the knees, Lauren could no longer maintain his flawless image and hastily dismissed the array.

As Lauren wiped away the Four-Pointed Star pattern on the ground, the bright floor reemerged, and the Zhong Family expert who had sunk in was miraculously pushed out to where his legs had been swallowed.

This time, without needing the butler’s reminder, the experts charged all at once as if filled with adrenaline, realizing that Lauren truly could no longer use that kind of teleportation!

Moving forward now was a calculated risk that Lauren couldn’t employ the array again; they were ready to use their numbers to take him down, to salvage their tarnished reputation before the young master and the old butler.

But they forgot, without the Four Stars Array, Lauren still possessed a hidden weapon—the Life-taking Card!

Lauren glanced at the thirteen people charging at him, a wicked smile playing on his lips as if mocking their ignorant folly!

With the thirteen Zhong Family experts almost upon him, Lauren calmly produced his right hand from behind his back and with a flick...

The cards, from A to K, arranged in size order, appeared neatly in his hand like a fan, reflecting dazzling light beneath the lamp.

Had the Zhong Family experts looked carefully, they would have noticed one fundamental detail—these cards were all hearts!

The radiant heart suits, under the light’s glare, were so crimson as if soaked in the blood of countless individuals!

Finally, with a sharp wave of Lauren’s hand, the thirteen cards flew out swiftly, dispersing and each seeking a target of their own.

Struck by this sudden hidden weapon, the Zhong Family experts had no chance to dodge. Three people had their throats slit by the sharp cards, collapsing with a gurgle at Lauren’s feet.

But Xiao Tian wasn’t surprised by this unfolding scene; when Lauren drew the cards, he had already anticipated this outcome, but found it unnecessary to warn them again!

Firstly, their prior actions had left him profoundly disappointed; secondly, even if Xiao Tian had warned them, the result would not have changed from his warning!

This is the reality, unbearably cruel yet unreasonably logical!

This time, the three experts who perished put on a horrifying display for the rest, as the pain spread from their necks, their throats began to corrode slowly like they were doused in acid.

Hearing the sizzling sound nearby and seeing the swift separation of heads from shoulders, the crowd began to scream in terror.

Though they had previously seen poison corrode the walls, this was different—it wasn’t on a human.

Now, watching the dismembered heads and shoulders continuously corroding, dissolving into nothing, everyone felt their legs tremble uncontrollably, nearly scared out of their wits!

For some reason this time, the Zhong Family experts’ powers of observation became exceptionally sharp.

A Zhong Family member suddenly pointed at the corroded and unrecognizable trio, his expression akin to seeing a ghost as he said: ”Look... Look quickly, do you see anything?!”

Although perplexed, they heard the terror-stricken expert say with a shaking voice: ”The cards that killed them are A, 2, 3!”

At this, everyone focused their gaze, looking carefully, and horrifyingly found it was indeed as he said—they were killed by A, 2, 3!

Before they could even feel astonishment, a Zhong Family expert curiously yet indecisively began unbuttoning his shirt.

The person next to him saw his odd behavior and, unable to comprehend, asked: ”What are you doing?”

”Nothing, just an unbearably itchy feeling on my stomach,” the Zhong Family expert explained while unbuttoning: ”It feels as if countless ants are marching across my belly, expanding outward!”

His neighbor initially wanted to mock him, but seeing his serious and increasingly urgent attempts to unbutton, even tearing his clothes in the end, held back from commenting!

With buttons popping open, the neighbor was compelled to see what it was.

But when the Zhong Family expert lifted his shirt, the person who intended to laugh at him slowly displayed an expression of fear, mouth agape, unable to even scream, as if someone had gripped his throat, blocking any sound.

Vowing that what he witnessed was the most terrifying thing seen in his lifetime, the fear-stricken Zhong Family expert stood frozen!

Seeing his extreme fear, others around grew uneasy, yet couldn’t contain their curiosity as they cautiously turned their gaze to where he was looking...

The next moment, these Zhong Family experts demonstrated with their actions the eternal truth—curiosity can indeed kill the cat!
