The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 68: Encirclement and Suppression (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
Ding dong!

Su Mu rushed into the crowd and slashed the figure that was as swift as a cheetah with a knife.

Amid the sound of metal clashing, the figure was cut and fell.

The detectives seized the opportunity and retreated, putting some distance between themselves and the figure.

From the time the black shadow appeared to the time Su Mu took action, it took only a moment, and five or six constables fell to the ground.

If it weren't for the desperate resistance of Zheng Wang and other squad leaders, the casualties would have been even greater.

Faced with the protectors of the Wutan Sect, ordinary constables had no power to resist at all.

"Load the crossbow!"

Su Mu shouted loudly.

Since he knew how difficult the guardian of the Wutan Sect was, it was impossible for Su Mu to make no preparations at all.

Before coming here, he borrowed a batch of crossbows from the city defense army through He Yuxing's relationship.

This crossbow is a special weapon made by the army of the Daxuan Dynasty, and it has a certain killing power even against demons.

However, this type of crossbow is very expensive and cannot be popularized among the constables.

If it weren't for the He family's face, it would have been impossible for Su Mu to borrow them from the city defense army.

Zheng!
The sound of bowstrings rang out, and several crossbow arrows instantly tore through the dark skin of the Wutan Sect's guardian and penetrated into his body.

A shrill roar sounded, like that of a wild beast.

He got on all fours and rushed left and right.

Every time he tried to escape, he was forced back by Su Mu's Fu Bo sword.

Fighting alone, he might be stronger than Su Mu.

But Su Mu is not alone, and of course he would not be stupid enough to fight him alone.

He roamed around the field, cooperating seamlessly with a group of detectives.

After several rounds, the guardian of the Wutan Sect had been pierced by more than a dozen crossbow arrows.

Blood was flowing all over the ground, emitting a foul stench.

Su Mu slashed with his sword again. The opponent was no longer able to dodge and fell to the ground. After struggling for a few times, he died.

Su Mu was not at all surprised at the execution of the guardian of the Wutan Sect.

The crossbow borrowed from the city defense army cost dozens of taels of silver for each arrow shot.

A dozen arrows would cost at least several hundred taels of silver, which is more expensive than hiring Wei Yongfu to take action. It would be unfair if he didn't die.

"Captain Su, there is a secret passage here!"

Just as Su Mu was about to rush to Wei Yongfu's aid, a loud shout suddenly came from the front.

He glanced in the direction of Wei Yongfu, only to see that Wei Yongfu was full of energy and would not let other constables intervene. He was fighting alone with another guardian of the Wutan Sect, and the battle was indisputable.

Seeing that he could still handle it, Su Mu did not hesitate and swung the long sword in his hand.

"Come with me!"

The doors and windows of the room that the two Wutan Sect guardians rushed out of had been hacked to pieces by the crowd, and the room was in a mess after being ransacked.

In the corner of the room, there was a dark passage that sloped downward, and the baffle above had been removed.

All the way here, we didn't encounter even a single high-ranking member of the Wutan Sect.

Obviously, they all hid in the secret passage.

"Zheng Wang, go and interrogate those Wu Tian sect members.

Luo Chang, arrange people to explore the way."

Su Mu looked at the passage, pondered for a moment, and gave orders in a deep voice.

Everyone responded and quickly took action.

Su Mu himself was not idle either. He personally led people to search Green Willow Villa inside and out.

After the search, nothing was found except for some valuables.

When he returned to the backyard, he happened to see Zheng Wang and Luo Chang, two squad leaders, approaching him with serious faces. Zheng Wang interrogated several captured believers, but the situation he found out was not optimistic.

"Captain, the situation is not good."

Zheng Wang said in a deep voice, "Those believers said that there is a real demon imprisoned down there, and the Wutian Cult is using that demon to develop a poison. Once an ordinary person is poisoned, they will lose their minds like the demon and become bloodthirsty and crazy."

"Imprisoned the real demon?"

Su Mu was also shocked. He knew that the Wutan Sect was causing trouble, but he didn't expect that they would cause such a big thing.

Zhao Guiqi is a ruthless person.

He actually concealed such an important thing!
A real demon is not comparable to those demon-like guardians.

It is no exaggeration to say that a real demon could easily wipe them out.

Su Mu’s first reaction was to ask for help immediately.

A real demon is definitely not something they can deal with, at least it would take the intervention of the Taiping Commander.

Just as he was holding the Taiping Division badge and preparing to send a message for help, he suddenly calmed down.

It is impossible for demons to be controlled by humans.

The Wu Tian Sect has no chance of controlling the demons.

In other words, in the eyes of demons, the people of Wutan Sect are no different from them.

Unless the top leaders of the Wutan Sect themselves don't want to live anymore, they will never release the demons easily.

As long as they act fast enough and kill all the top leaders of the Wutan Sect before they release the demons, they will have no chance to release the imprisoned demons.

The merit of single-handedly defeating a demon is definitely enough to exchange for a new martial art at the Taiping Division.

Once we ask for help, the credit will be greatly reduced.

Wealth and wealth are found in danger.

He has no background, so if he wants to become stronger, he has to fight when it is time.

Even if the top leaders of the Wutan Sect went crazy and released the demons immediately, he would still have time to ask for help.

With so many of them and the magic-destroying crossbows borrowed from the city defense forces, they should have no problem holding out for a while.

"The situation is urgent. Once the poison developed by Wu Tian Cult is released in the city, the consequences will be disastrous."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "Gather everyone, follow me to attack now. No matter what, we must completely eradicate the Wutian Sect today!"

After saying that, Su Mu rushed into the passage first.

Zheng Wang, Luo Chang and others hesitated for a moment, then followed with torches in hand.

After that, the detectives entered the passage holding magic-destroying crossbows.

It seems that no one expected that this place would be found, so the design of the underground passage is not complicated.

The passage, which was wide enough for two people to walk side by side, stretched out for hundreds of meters, and a fire could be vaguely seen ahead.

What hit me was the smell of corruption and blood.

Just as everyone rushed into the passage, the sound of bowstrings came from the front, and sharp arrows shot out from the passage.

Su Mu took the lead and swung the long sword in his hand. Amidst the sound of clanging metal collisions, all the arrows were shot down.

Zheng Wang, Luo Chang and others followed closely behind Su Mu, all with admiration on their faces.

Captain Su used to do his best when he was a constable. Now that he is a captain of police, he still leads by example. It is amazing that he became a captain of police at such a young age and joined the Taiping Division.

Reliable!

It's too late, but it's soon.

Relying on the bronze skin acquired through the extreme stage of skin tempering and the strength gained from the minor stage of flesh tempering, Su Mu was almost not afraid of sneak attacks and broke into a spacious underground space at a very fast speed.

Zheng Wang, Luo Chang and others rushed in and were stunned by the scene before them.
