The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 8 Intolerable
Su Mu doesn't want to kill anyone.

First of all, Zhang Chong and his two companions are beggars without any followers, so killing them would be very troublesome.

Secondly, Su Mu was not sure that he could fight three people alone.

But the tiger has no intention to harm people, it is people who want to harm the tiger.

Zhang Chong and his two companions went too far. Su Mu had already tolerated them time and again, but they refused to give him a chance to live.

Since you can't bear it anymore, there is no need to endure it anymore!

He reached down to his waist and grasped the hatchet.

At this time, the fists raised by Zhang Chong's two men had just fallen, and were about to hit Su Mu's face.

suddenly.

A cold light flashed.

puff!puff!
Two almost connected sounds were heard, as if tanned cowhide was being cut by a knife.

"You and I……"

Zhang Chong's two men covered their necks, blood flowing from between their fingers.

The two men felt that all the strength in their bodies had disappeared, and they were unable to utter a word. They looked at Su Mu unwillingly, then fell down, twitching and kicking their legs, and soon there was no movement.

It all happened so fast that Zhang Chong didn't realize what was happening until his two men fell to the ground.

"Su Mu, you..."

Zhang Chong's pupils contracted, and then bloodshot appeared in his eyes. His teeth clenched and a few words came out of his mouth.

"You bastard, you're looking for death!"

Zhang Chong shouted angrily, took a step forward, and punched Su Mu.

As a low-level manager of the Chai Gang, Zhang Chong has also learned a few tricks.

Although he could not endure hardship and had limited talent, he did not achieve anything special, but his physical fitness was much better than that of the average man.

This punch was thrown with a slight sound of wind, quite powerful!
Su Mu's expression was solemn. Although he killed Zhang Chong's two men with one knife, it was a sneak attack.

Su Mu knew very well that he had only been practicing swordsmanship for a short time and his physical fitness was far inferior to Zhang Chong's. Even in a one-on-one fight, his chances of winning were not great.

But now that things have come to this, he has no choice.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

Facing monsters, he dared to draw his sword with his mortal body, not to mention that his opponent now was just a gangster!
Breaking the waves!

Su Mu seemed not to see Zhang Chong's punch. He did not dodge or evade and just drew his sword.

Breaking the waves!

The hatchet made a sound of breaking wind, penetrated between Zhang Chong's hands, and chopped towards Zhang Chong's chest.

Zhang Chong was just a gangster. Where had he ever seen such a life-and-death fight?

By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late to change his tactics.

click!
A crisp sound of bone cracking was heard, and severe pain spread from his chest into Zhang Chong's mind.

At this time, Zhang Chong's fist had already hit Su Mu.

One punch hit the corner of Su Mu's mouth, and the other punch hit behind his ear.

Although both punches hit the target, the severe pain in his chest greatly reduced the power of Zhang Chong's fists.

"you……"

Zhang Chong looked at Su Mu in disbelief. He couldn't imagine why a guy who looked so thin could be so ferocious in a fight.

There was blood at the corner of Su Mu's mouth and his face was expressionless.

Zhang Chong's pupils contracted and he opened his mouth in horror.

"Rare..."

puff!
The hatchet cut across Zhang Chong's throat, shredding it and slicing his carotid artery.

Zhang Chong fell to the ground, blood gushing from his neck. His body twitched a few times and finally he became motionless.

……

Su Mu looked around.

Apart from the three bodies, there was no one else in sight.

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and actually felt a sense of weakness in his body. The place where Zhang Chong had just hit him was in excruciating pain.

After all, his body is too weak.

If his strength was greater, Zhang Chong would have been killed by the first blow and would not have been able to withstand these two punches.

Looking at the three corpses, Su Mu's hand holding the hatchet trembled slightly.

Although it wasn't the first time I killed someone, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

But he soon let it go.

This is the way the world is. If you don't kill people, people will kill you.

If he hadn't practiced swordsmanship, he would have been broken by Zhang Chong and his men, and would have died of hunger and cold sooner or later. The other party wanted his life, but he didn't want to die, so he could only let the other party die.

After quickly calming down, Su Mu felt that he was calmer than the last time he killed someone.

Even the technique of touching corpses has become much more skilled.

soon.

Su Mu then took out two ingots of silver from Zhang Chong's arms, weighing about ten taels.

The two men didn't have much money on them, only three hundred coins in total.

After touching the corpse, Su Mu looked around, and seeing that there was no one, he quickly disappeared in the direction of Wuling City.

Before leaving, he did not forget to cut a few more times on the wounds of the three bodies to prevent others from noticing anything.

As for destroying the body, he really doesn't have the energy to do so now.

Besides, outside this city, their bodies would be eaten up by wolves and wild dogs after one night.

…………

Just a moment after Su Mu left.

Several figures appeared in front of the three bodies. They were on their way back to Wuling City from outside the city and happened to come across the bodies of Zhang Chong and the other two.

Someone squatted down, checked the wound, and whispered, "The wound was deliberately damaged. The murderer seemed to have used a knife."

He stood up and asked someone, "Captain Xing, do you want to investigate?"

These men, all dressed in black, were the constables of Wuling City.

"I know him. He's a small leader of the Chai Gang. In my opinion, it's most likely a gang fight."

Another constable said.

"We are short-staffed right now, there is no need to waste manpower on such despicable things."

Captain Xing waved his hand.

These days, a few deaths in gang fights is nothing.

In Wuling City, especially in the mixed South City, it would be strange if no one died one day.

Captain Xing was the captain of the Nancheng Division and was no longer surprised by such things.

If he had nothing to do, he might have some leisure time to investigate the murderer.

But now, he was already so busy that he had no time to care about the life or death of this gangster.

"There is a strict order from above that the Black Dragon Stronghold must be pacified within half a year. If it is not pacified by then, I will inevitably be exiled, and you will all be in trouble too."

Captain Xing said with a frown.

"Boss, we have seen clearly this time that the Black Dragon Village has at least 300 people, and our South City Division has only so many people. Isn't this asking us to fight against a rock with an egg?"

A constable complained.

"The higher-ups won't listen to your complaints."

Captain Xing snorted coldly.

"Boss, I have an idea."

Another constable suddenly said, "To attack Black Dragon Village, can we temporarily recruit a group of officers?

Our Nancheng Division is short-staffed, but what is most abundant in Nancheng? Refugees and beggars!

All you need to do is recruit a group of officers and let them serve as cannon fodder to attack Black Dragon Village. As long as there are enough people, Black Dragon Village can be destroyed.

Then we can just follow behind and take advantage of the situation.”

"The Nancheng Division cannot afford to support so many servants."

Captain Xing said.

"Boss, think about it, among these officers who went to attack Black Dragon Village, how many of them could come back alive?
So, there is no need to feed them.”

The constable said.

Captain Xing glanced at the constable, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

I didn't expect that there would be such a ruthless person under my command.

His method is feasible, but afterwards, we need to find an excuse to transfer him away.

With such a ruthless person under his command, who knows when he will dig a hole for himself?
No leader would truly like a guy who has no bottom line.

"That's a good idea. I'll leave this matter to you. If you can successfully pacify the Black Dragon Village, I will personally recommend you for the credit!"

Captain Xing patted the constable on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you, Captain! I promise to complete the task!"

The constable said with great joy.
