The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 4 Killing

Inside the ruined temple.

Su Mu's body remained motionless, his eyes moved, looking in the direction where the sound came from.

Everything was blurry in the darkness, and it was difficult to make out anything.

"Are they the guys who have been spying on me during the day?

What do they want to do?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Su Mu's mind. Through the sound coming from the darkness, he had roughly identified who made the sound.

next moment.

Su Mu's body slid backwards silently, sticking to the ground.

Since he started learning swordsmanship, his physical fitness has also improved to a certain extent.

I wouldn't say he's strong, but he's agile at least.

"This kid should be asleep by now, get ready to take action!"

A low sound was heard in the night breeze blowing through the hall.

From the voice, Su Mu recognized that the speaker was a man named Feng Debao, who made a living by begging and often bullied refugees living in dilapidated temples.

"Boss, does this kid really have so much money?"

Another low voice came from the darkness, "What if he's not there? Wouldn't it be a bit unfair for us to take such a big risk to kill him?"

"I've asked the Chai Gang about this. This kid can earn at least 15 coins a day from them. Based on my observation, he basically doesn't spend much money every day. These days, he has saved at least 300 to 400 coins, which is more than what we earn by begging for a month!"

Feng Debao's voice said, "Kill him, and we will have an easy month. After all, the officials won't care if a refugee dies."

"That's right. When the time comes, just throw his body out of the city. No one will care how he died."

The third voice said.

Su Mu could hear clearly that the other two voices belonged to the beggars who had always been hanging out with Feng Debao. Their names were Cheng Ermao and Jiang Liangtian.

The conversation between the three people made Su Mu’s eyes widen.

I know that this world is cruel, but I never thought that someone would kill for money just for a mere three hundred coins!

What a beast!

He was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he also knew that he had to calm down now.

He had just mastered the Fu Bo sword technique, and facing three opponents at once, he had no assurance of winning.

Holding the hatchet tightly in his hand, Su Mu tiptoed and continued to retreat silently until he reached the corner of the wall, then he slipped around to the rear of Feng Debao and the other two.

The night was so dark that you couldn’t see your hand in front of you. From afar, you could only see vague outlines.

Feng Debao and the other two thought that Su Mu was still in the thatched pile, so they stood up at the same time and quietly walked over.

Completely unaware, a figure, almost huddled up against the wall, was quietly moving forward.

The dilapidated temple was not very big to begin with, and the three of them quickly found where Su Mu was sleeping.

After looking at each other, a hint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of the three of them.

"Do it!"

Feng Debao whispered.

The three of them rushed towards the pile of thatch almost at the same time.

boom!
The three men missed their target and all fell into the thatch pile, colliding with each other.

no one? !
Su Mu was clearly sleeping here before dark, how could he disappear?
Feng Debao and the other two climbed up in a panic.

"This is the time!"

Su Mu gripped the hatchet tightly, made a sneak attack, suddenly jumped up and swung the hatchet.

In the darkness, Su Mu couldn't see the three people clearly, so he could only rely on his memory and attack Feng Debao, who was the tallest.

He used all his strength in this move, not holding back at all.

lol...

The sound of tearing silk was heard.

Su Mu's body continued to move forward and rolled down, sinking into the darkness again.

"Who?!"

Cheng Ermao and Jiang Liangtian only felt a black shadow flash by and screamed in fright.

They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the backbone in their hearts.

But he found Feng Debao standing still.

"old--"

Cheng Ermao pushed Feng Debao's shoulder.

Blood spurted out like a fountain from one side of Feng Debao's neck.

Blood sprayed all over Cheng Ermao's face, blocking the word "big".

Screams rang out in the ruined temple.

The other residents were awakened by the terrified screams of Cheng Ermao and Jiang Liangtian. They were all survivors of the recent massacre by demons, and were already frightened birds. Now they thought that another demon disaster had broken out, so they all got up and ran out regardless of anything.

"good chance!"

A fierce look flashed in Su Mu's eyes.

These three beasts are willing to commit murder for a few hundred coins. None of them can be spared!
Unable to see clearly how Feng Debao died, Su Mu did not feel the slightest bit of nervousness as if it was his first time killing someone.

He jumped up and swung the hatchet again, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.

The hatchet swept across Cheng Ermao's lower body from bottom to top, cutting open his abdomen and splitting his chest.

Cheng Ermao's screams suddenly stopped, and blood flowed like a stream...

Su Mu breathed slightly. After killing two people in a row, his physical strength was somewhat over-expended.

But now is not the time to rest.

Jiang Liangtian used his hands and feet to escape from the ruined temple.

"You can't escape!"

Su Mu took a deep breath, rushed to Jiang Liangtian in two steps, and stepped on his back.

Puff.

The hatchet chopped Jiang Liangtian on the back of his neck.

This knife attack was not performed with any knife skills, it was just a simple chop.

Even if he couldn't be killed by the rusty hatchet, the hatchet would at least infect him with tetanus.

However, it was obvious that Jiang Liangtian's physique did not require the use of tetanus. When Su Mu pulled out the hatchet, his head tilted to the side and was almost separated from his body. It was impossible for him to survive.

Su Mu was filled with anger and quickly searched Jiang Liangtian's body. He stuffed whatever he found into his arms without caring what it was.

Then he returned to the bodies of Feng Debao and Cheng Ermao and repeated the above actions twice.

After doing all this, Su Mu ran out of the dilapidated temple in the dark.

…………

Su Mu went into an alley and after making sure that there was no one around, he sat down on the ground and gasped for breath.

He rubbed his hands vigorously on his clothes several times, but the sticky feeling still lingered.

It was not until this time that the aftereffects of killing came up. His stomach churned and after a while of dry heaving, his nervousness slowly calmed down.

It was his first time killing people, and he killed three people at once.

But as long as you get over that psychological barrier, it doesn't seem too difficult to accept.

Su Mu was also a little surprised that he could calm down so quickly. The three lives did not cause him much trouble.

"There are so many people in this ruined temple, it's hard to say whether anyone saw me killing Feng Debao and the other three."

After calming down, Su Mu began to reflect, "Although the death of three beggars is not a big deal in this world, if someone reports it, the city officials will definitely not mind arresting a murderer like me to earn some rewards.

We can’t go back to the dilapidated temple, and it’s best not to even stay in this area of ​​South Street.

Unfortunately, I haven’t saved enough money to change my household registration. Otherwise, I could find a proper place to stay. It’s not like now. Without household registration, I don’t even have the qualifications to rent a house.”

Su Mu sighed in his heart.

Suddenly, he slapped his head.

How come you forgot this?

He took out a bunch of scattered things from his arms, all of which he had just taken from the bodies of Feng Debao and the other two.

Friends who often kill people know that after killing someone, they must touch the corpse. Who knows, they might get a big reward.

…………

In the ruined temple, several officers in black robes were checking the bodies of Feng Debao and other two.

"He was killed by a knife, not by a demon."

The expression on the officer's face who spoke was obviously much more relaxed.

As long as they are not demons, the death of a few beggars is not a big deal.

"Tsk tsk, the move was decisive and quick. The person who did it must have practiced swordsmanship before."

Another officer turned the bodies of the three men over and said, "These three guys must have offended some gang, so they were killed."

They will be even less likely to meddle in gang feuds.

"You dumped the bodies in the mass grave outside the city. If an epidemic breaks out here, you won't be able to see a doctor."

They casually said this to the refugees who were watching, then left yawning.

After confirming that it was not a demon, the refugees all breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Feng Debao and the other two, no one sympathized with them. They just thought that their death was unlucky.

Especially those unlucky guys who were assigned to carry the corpses.

…………

Su Mu didn't know what happened in the dilapidated temple later. He was looking at the things in front of him with surprise on his face.
