At the sa ti, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu was also completely frozen in place.
He looked at the terrifying scene of destruction on the long street behind him, his expression full of shock and uncertainty, subconsciously exclaiming, "You broke through?"
Hearing this, the driver lowered his head to look at the broken blade hilt in his hand, then looked at the corpses of the two swordsn in blue who had already been split in half under that slash in the deep pit in the distance.
"I didn't break through. That slash shouldn't have been..."
The driver's words weren't finished when Li Musheng's lazy voice ca from behind, "Rember the feeling of that slash just now. That will be your only hope in this lifeti of glimpsing the Heaven-Human realm."
Having said this, Li Musheng, who had been sitting in the carriage without moving half a step from beginning to end, waved his hand indifferently, "Alright, we should continue on our way."
Then he lowered the carriage curtain and leaned back against the soft pillow, no longer paying attention to matters outside.
Both the driver and Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu were stunned for a mont.
Sun Changyu didn't quite understand what Li Musheng ant, while the driver seed to have grasped sothing, gripping the blade hilt and murmuring, "The feeling of that slash..."
He pondered Li Musheng's words, wanting to grasp that wisp of blade intent released in the instant of the slash. However, perhaps due to insufficient comprehension, it always felt sowhat elusive.
At the sa ti, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu didn't have much ti to think. Although the driver's slash had shocked even him, and it had killed two powerful swordsn in blue in one strike.
They still had to face the encirclent and killing by the remaining three experts.
Thinking of this, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu turned his head to look at the old man in raincoat in front of the carriage.
But the next mont, his pupils suddenly contracted.
That Skull-Tapping Bamboo Staff Elder had sohow already stopped in his tracks about a zhang away from the carriage.
Supporting himself with one hand on his bamboo staff, in the misty white water vapor stirred up by rain striking the street surface, that aged face was looking toward the back of the carriage with shock written all over it.
Clearly, the Skull-Tapping Bamboo Staff Elder had also been stunned by the driver's slash just now.
However, this wasn't the key point. The key point was that he was currently motionless, and on his forehead was revealed an empty finger hole.
Without a doubt, he was already dead!
Moreover, he had been killed instantly with one finger without detecting anything, having no power to resist from beginning to end.
"This..."
Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu's clean face was full of surprise. He hurriedly turned to look at the rooftops of shops on both sides.
The two masked figures in black who had originally been crouching on the roof ridge were now also motionless.
At the center of their foreheads were likewise finger holes. Clearly they had also been instantly killed and had been dead for quite so ti.
"What's going on?"
Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu exclaid. The driver also ca back to his senses at this mont. Turning to look at the remaining three who were already long dead, his eyes were full of surprise.
"No wonder those two figures in black never made a move. Turns out they were already killed silently long ago."
After reacting, the driver finally realized sothing.
He and Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu exchanged glances. Right now, the two only wanted to know one thing, who was helping them?
Moreover, what was even more shocking was that the other party had silently killed three people without them detecting anything.
"No, to be precise, all five should have been killed by that person."
The driver shook his head. His weather-beaten face recalled the situation when unleashing that slash, "That slash wasn't one I could deliver. It should have been a blade intent that borrowed my strength to manifest. Almost all the martial Dao true qi in my body was consud by that slash!"
Saying this, he suddenly shifted his gaze toward the carriage at the side.
Seeing this, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu did the sa.
The two looked at the carriage in the rain curtain, or more precisely, looked through the curtain toward Li Musheng in the carriage.
For a mont, both fell silent with uncertain expressions.
At this mont, Li Musheng's sowhat displeased voice ca from the carriage again, "How much longer are you going to wait before leaving?"
Hearing this, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu and the driver exchanged glances, imdiately realizing they still had a mission.
At once, both were jolted back to their senses and no longer lingered with their thoughts.
The driver turned and hurriedly leaped onto the carriage driver's seat, while Sun Changyu quickly dove back into the carriage compartnt.
"Hiyah!"
Hiding the remaining blade hilt under the seat again, the driver shouted loudly.
He cracked the long whip to drive the horses, rushing rapidly past the corpse of the Skull-Tapping Bamboo Staff Elder who had been dead for so ti.
At this mont, they had no mind to care about these assassins' corpses. To avoid further incidents, they had to reach the Tianjin Guards headquarters as quickly as possible.
The wheels rolled, stirring up puddles of water, racing urgently along the rainstorm-drenched long street.
Inside the carriage, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu and Li Musheng sat facing each other. The atmosphere in the air was extrely silent.
Li Musheng drank tea while pondering the key points of the Life and Death Talisman martial art. Sun Changyu's gaze looked toward him covertly, occasionally studying this young man who was very likely the real Seventh Prince.
After a while, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu finally couldn't contain the doubts in his heart and was about to speak.
Li Musheng suddenly glanced at him and said indifferently, "That's right, I did it all."
The pile of questions Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu had originally wanted to ask suddenly all stuck in his throat.
His expression changed rapidly. Shock, confusion, doubt and other expressions continuously appeared on that soft face.
Finally, Sun Changyu heavily let out a breath and said, "Since Young Master Li says so, then this servant will take it as belief. If those five hadn't died, very likely this servant and the one outside would have died."
"No matter what, this servant thanks Young Master for the life-saving grace."
Saying this, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu cupped his hands heavily in salute to Li Musheng.
Although in Sun Changyu's heart, he actually understood very clearly that to unleash such an astonishing slash as just now, as well as silently kill three Martial Dao Grand Master level experts with one finger.
Unless the other party was at least a half-step Heaven-Human, or an even higher Heaven-Human martial Dao realm, could it be accomplished.
However, could such a realm truly be reached by a young person around twenty years old?
One must know, martial Dao cultivation lay in tempering oneself and persisting in breathing true qi. It required accumulation over ti to continuously advance.
Even that fake prince in the heavenly prison who was called a martial Dao genius, with no lack of pills or techniques, had only reached the half-step Grand Master realm at twenty.
To be honest, Sun Changyu didn't quite believe Li Musheng's words. In his view, the one who truly made the move was very likely a martial Dao expert hidden in the shadows.
That person had actually been secretly protecting Li Musheng all along. That he could preserve his life under the siege of five Martial Dao Grand Masters was still thanks to Li Musheng's blessing.
So saying Li Musheng saved his life wasn't really wrong.
"You eunuch, just pour tea."
At this mont, Li Musheng just glanced at Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu and slowly shook his head.
