Chapter 187 – 159: Kill Without rcy_3
At last.
There was no more noise.
Shadows appeared at both ends of the alley.
He Zhengguang shook his head, saying, “That might have been a bit too wasteful. With the impact of the Blood Fiend Blazing Fla Arrow, anyone below the Five Viscera Realm would almost certainly die. Why add those extra efforts? Now I’m afraid they’re all turned into slag.”
He Zhengdao spoke solemnly, “What does waste matter? It’s rely a few million Silver. Zhengya once said, this person must be dead beyond doubt, and no accidents can happen during this operation.”
“Exactly.”
He Zhengying also slowly opened his mouth, saying, “Chen Mu must die, even if his body has turned into slag, we still need to double-check, there absolutely cannot be any mistakes… I’ll go take a look.”
...
However, just as he was about to step forward, a faint voice arose not far away.
“No need to check.”
Then they saw Chen Mu approaching gradually, still dressed in that official attire, and speaking indifferently, “I am right here.”
The scene instantly fell into utter silence.
The He Family mbers all stiffened, their faces shockingly turned towards Chen Mu.
“Impossible!”
“You… you weren’t in the palanquin?!”
He Zhengdao uttered in disbelief.
Chen Mu, with his hands behind his back, spoke placidly, “Nothing is impossible. Old Master Yu’s Water Mirror Technique has reached perfection, combined with the wintry rain and my ’Imitating Wind’ technique to mimic the breath. How could you people, who only dare to lurk in the shadows and use despicable ans, understand its subtleties?”
In truth, he did not think that the He Family’s thods posed any threat to him, but their silence for over a dozen days felt abnormal, and he wasn’t keen on using his body to test it, given that the world had many bizarre thods, like that initial red arrow.
It didn’t seem to have much power, not even destroying the entire street, but in actuality, all the explosive energy was concentrated in a very narrow area. Probably anyone below the Five Viscera Realm or who had not mastered the second step of Artistic Conception would have no chance of survival if they were inside the palanquin.
However, since he had comprehended the Separating Fire Artistic Conception and advanced to the second step, that move was indeed of no use.
The faces of the He Family mbers were unspeakably ugly.
Well-planned thods all thrown in at once, and they had no effect whatsoever!
But soon, the leader He Zhengdao pulled a grim face and said, “Even if you dodged it, what of it? Do you still think soone from your Yu Family can co to rescue you?”
As the words fell.
The grim-faced He Family mbers all darkened their expressions, their eyes revealing murderous intent.
Although the He Family’s finest had mostly been deployed away by Yan Jingqing, those present were the older generation of the He Family, already retired. Although their Qi-Blood had begun to decline, they were still above the Bone Tempering Realm and masters of Artistic Conceptions.
Moreover, the others present were elite trained by the He Family in other places, all existing in the Bone Tempering Realm. Even though Chen Mu had luckily escaped the previous assassination attempt, he still had to get past them!
Chen Mu looked at the He Family mbers who were vaguely starting to encircle him.
He simply said,
“So.”
“The He Family conspired and planned.”
“To assassinate the tropolitan Commander of the Inspectorate.”
“It’s akin to rebellion.”
“According to the laws of Da Xuan… death without rcy.”
As his words ended, a gleam of saber light suddenly brightened, causing every drop of rain nearby to seemingly reflect that brilliant glow.
Feeling the power of Chen Mu’s saber, the nearest He Zhengguang’s instinctive response was alarm. Almost without hesitation, he brought the Gen Mountain Artistic Conception to its limit, blocking with his saber.
However.
Crack!!!
Accompanied by the sound of tal breaking, blood blossod in the rain as He Zhengguang stared wide-eyed and fell backward.
By his side, He Zhengdao was terribly horrified.
It turned out He Zhengya was right, Chen Mu was not rely at the initial stage of Bone Tempering. The power of this saber, even if combining the essences of wind and thunder, was not sothing Minor Achievent in Bone Tempering could unleash!
“You…”
In his shock, He Zhengdao instinctively swung his saber, but with just a flash of the saber light, he felt the world spinning around, and amidst the whirl, he saw his own back.
Chen Mu, with an indifferent look in his eyes, was like a tiger among sheep, his Silverstream Saber reaping lives one after another.
In just a few breaths.
One body after another lay across the alley, their eyes still filled with horror and unwillingness, as blood gushed out, mixing with the rain and slowly flowing towards the dip further down, dyeing the entire alley a blood red.
