The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 43: South City Shock (Please read, collect, and recommend)

"stop!"

An angry roar was heard, followed by a sound of chaotic footsteps.

A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes strode out from the inner courtyard, followed by several guards in tight clothes.

Those guards had rough skin and bulging muscles; they were at least skin-tempered warriors.

They moved quickly and surrounded Su Mu as soon as they appeared.

Su Mu looked indifferent as he placed the long knife on Butler Xu's neck.

Butler Xu knelt on the ground, his face ashen and his whole body trembling. There was a pool of yellow water under him, emitting an unpleasant smell.

There were seven or eight bodies lying on the ground around them, all of them had their throats cut open, killed with one blow.

The Fu Bo swordsmanship is perfected, and the body tempering realm is achieved.

Su Mu could handle thirty or forty strong men with ease, let alone just seven or eight servants.

"Nancheng Division is investigating the case. Are you sure you want to stop it?"

Su Mu looked around slowly, and finally his eyes fell on the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.

Xu Mingchen's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it. He stared at Su Mu with a murderous look in his eyes.

Breaking into Xu's house at night and killing people so blatantly in Xu's house, he had never suffered such an insult before.

This is not taking the Xu family and Xu Mingchen seriously!
"Get it for me!"

Xu Mingchen shouted, "I want to ask He Yuxing, can the South City Division just do its job and harm innocent people at will?"

He was smart. Even in his rage, he did not forget to put a accusation on Su Mu.

Before Xu Mingchen finished his words, a guard who was eager to make a contribution had already rushed over.

The security guard just moved.

Swish!
A flash of knife light appeared.

It was as if a surging wave appeared in everyone's eyes.

The guard was shocked. He didn't expect Su Mu to dare to take the initiative when surrounded by so many people.

However, he had made some progress in skin tempering and his swordsmanship had also reached a high level of perfection. His strength was considered outstanding among all the guards of the Xu family.

How can a squad leader who has never been tempered and whose swordsmanship is only comparable to mine be my opponent?

With a mocking look on his face, he drew his knife and swung it forward, ready to teach this arrogant squad leader a lesson he would never forget.

But in the next moment, the expressions on everyone's faces froze, and the actions of protecting the courtyard came to an abrupt halt, as if the pause button had been pressed.

Poof!

A sound like tearing thick cowhide was heard.

Su Mu stood there with a calm expression, and the long knife in his hand was once again placed on Butler Xu's neck.

Two steps in front of him, the guard maintained a posture of drawing his sword to meet the attack, like a sculpture.

There was no trace of sarcasm on his face now, only horror and disbelief.

when!
The steel knife in the guard's hand fell to the ground.

At the same time a line of blood appeared on his neck.

The whole person swayed, and finally fell to the ground with a thud, and blood quickly flowed along the bluestone floor.

Seeing Su Mu's eyes falling on him, Xu Mingchen subconsciously took a step back, only to feel a chill rising from his back. He took a breath of cold air in his heart, and a hint of fear and dread flashed in the depths of his eyes.

In his heart, he had already cursed Butler Xu to pieces.

You call this the perfection of swordsmanship?
Even if I, Xu Mingchen, am blind, even if I dig out my eyes, I can still recognize that this is the power of a knife!
Even if he mastered the sword's moves, he might not be able to kill with one blow the guard he hired at a high price, who had well-tempered skin and mastered swordsmanship!

This Su Mu has definitely been tempered!
"Attacking an official is a crime punishable by death."

Su Mu said calmly, "Mr. Xu, are you sure you want to stop me from doing my job?"

Xu Mingchen didn't say anything, and the other guards didn't dare to speak either.

The guy who just died was one of the best among them, but he couldn't even block the other person's knife. What can they do?

There is only so much money every month, why risk your life?

Seeing that all the guards had been turned into quails, Xu Mingchen cursed inwardly.

But he also knew that Su Mu's strength was beyond imagination. If he fought alone, none of the guards in the mansion would be his match.

Even if he ordered the guards to rush forward, they might not be able to stop Su Mu. Once Su Mu escaped, the matter would become a big mess.

Even if it was the Xu family, they couldn't openly attack and kill a squad leader in South City.

Even if it was just for the sake of face, He Yuxing would never allow such a thing to happen.

Some things can only be done in private and cannot be exposed in broad daylight.

"This man is suspected of arson and wounding people. I want to take him back to the South City Division for investigation. Do you have any objections?"

At this moment, Su Mu grabbed Butler Xu's collar and walked out without waiting for Xu Mingchen's answer.

The guards subconsciously made way for the path.

Xu Mingchen gritted his teeth and looked at Su Mu's back with a gloomy expression.

Born as a refugee, without any background or resources, he had mastered the sword skills at the age of seventeen or eighteen. With such comprehension, he could be called a genius even in the inner city.

If the big families in the inner city knew about this person's existence, they would definitely extend an olive branch to him as soon as possible.

It is best not to offend such people unless you can kill them in one go.

Now that the Xu family has obviously offended him, they must completely eliminate him before the big families in the inner city discover his existence.

Xu Mingchen made a decision quickly, with a fierce look in his eyes.

So what if he's a genius? A genius who doesn't grow up is no different from a waste!

"Go, find that Wei Yongfu for me!"

Seeing that Su Mu had walked away, Xu Mingchen growled.

…………

In the six districts of South City, news spread as fast as if it had wings.

When the day dawned, almost all the forces in South City knew what had happened in the evening.

The newly appointed team leader of Nancheng Division broke into Xu's house alone at night, killed several people in front of Xu Mingchen, and even brought the housekeeper of Xu's house back to Nancheng Division.

The Xu family is extremely powerful in South City. Even when facing the South City Police Chief Xing Zhaofu, they had never suffered such a big loss.

The current acting chief constable Zhao Ji is even more reluctant to approach the Xu family.

Now he has fallen into the hands of a small squad leader.

And it wasn't that the squad leader who resorted to any cunning trickery.

"Su Mu, born into a refugee family, seventeen years old, is suspected to have mastered the power of the sword, and his level of body tempering is unknown. A warrior who has achieved a minor level of skin tempering is no match for him in one move."

This news was quickly placed on the desks of the leaders of all major forces in South City.

Nancheng Division Sima He Yuxing and Acting Constable Zhao Ji were looking at the news that had just been delivered, their faces filled with shock.

"Sima——"

Zhao Ji said in a panic.

The guards of the Xu Mansion were carefully selected and hired at a high price. They were all good fighters who could fight ten people at once, but Su Mu was able to kill them all with one sword.

Zhao Ji panicked at the thought of offending a man who had tempered his skin well and practiced sword skills.

He himself was only at the second stage of body tempering, and his swordsmanship had only reached the great perfection stage.

Xing Zhaofu, who was once known as the best master in South City, had reached the third level of body tempering, but he still couldn't master the power of the sword.

The body-tempering realm can be built up by using resources, but the sword power requires understanding.

Even among the children of wealthy families in the inner city, not everyone can master the power of a sword.

He simply couldn't afford to offend such a person.

At this time, the difference between Zhao Ji and Xu Mingchen can be seen.

Zhao Ji is not fit for important tasks.

Sima He Yuxing snorted coldly in his heart.

"Why are you panicking? Even if he has some strength, he is still my subordinate. Does he dare to rush into the South City Division and assassinate me?"

He Yuxing scolded, "I have never done him any wrong. I even promoted him to be the squad leader. This is how I know how to judge people."

Zhao Ji: “…”
