They were entirely intent on taking Chu Mo's life!
Veteran soldiers who have been on the battlefield, once their bloodlust is fully aroused and their killing intent is completely ford, not even nine bulls can pull them back.
Chu Mo is in danger!
Almost everyone present had this thought.
On the side of the Prince's Mansion, all these people wore icy expressions, very cold-blooded, and very ruthless. At this mont, they no longer cared about Chu Mo's life or death, only harboring hatred toward him. Not to ntion that he had already killed several of their people. Even if he hadn't killed any, just the grandson of a re general, and an adopted one at that. Dead is dead. The Prince over there would definitely be able to smooth things over.
Especially now, when Chu Mo had already started slaughtering them. With so many people watching on the scene. At that ti, Prince Xia Jing would have countless ways to shift all the bla onto Chu Mo.
It's over!
All the onlookers around shuddered in their hearts.
Thinking that Chu Mo was definitely going to die completely this ti.
Ti seed to freeze at this mont!
Then—
In a situation where no one thought it possible, Chu Mo raised his head and turned around, his youthful face showing no extra expression. Casually, with his other free left hand, he gently pushed the waist of the Royal Guardsman whose elbow had already reached his temple.
None of the people present could actually see Chu Mo's whole set of actions clearly!
Everyone only saw that this brave Royal Guardsman suddenly collapsed limply to the ground.
The transformation process was too quick and too sudden, leading everyone to be completely unprepared. They were all utterly stunned. The feeling was even more shocking than when Chu Mo had previously cleaved a guardsman with one strike.
Then, Chu Mo casually struck down at the fallen guardsman with his knife.
He deserved to die, having just attempted to strike him down rcilessly; there was even less reason to hesitate.
The guardsman had his throat slit by Chu Mo.
Before anyone could snap out of their shock, Chu Mo had already charged over.
His current level... cannot even be described in terms of having a level, but his combat power was terrifying. He was simply like a one-man army!
And not a warrior who lifts mountains, but more like lightning, more like a phantom!
Appearing and disappearing unpredictably, his movent was too terrifying.
None of these Royal Guards could touch even a corner of Chu Mo's clothing, but their casualties continued at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight fell. As for Chu Mo, no blood stained him, not a drop on his blade!
His expression was neither stern nor ferocious, his youthful handso face bore only that chilling calm, and a hint of... indifference.
This indifference, even those battlefield-hardened veterans who saw it would feel a shiver from the depths of their hearts.
They had never seen anyone like Chu Mo, who killed so many people and could still maintain such calm. Not only calm, but that indifference clearly showed he did not care about this group of people, about this entire matter!
He was still a child!
A youth in his early teens!
How could he do this?
Even soone like Fang Mingtong, a top master in Great Xia, who had fought countless battles, couldn't match Chu Mo's calmness and composure!
In combat, with blood on your hands, one's blood should always be boiling!
"Could it be that this young man is not human?"
Even those watching from afar had their hearts give rise to such a thought.
Looking again at the side of the Prince's Mansion, only two leaders and three of the strongest guards were left. Yet now, they had been frightened by Chu Mo to the core.
Outside the gates of the General's Mansion, on that ancient, weathered cobblestone path, lay fifteen or sixteen bodies, askew and disordered!
Blood flowed everywhere. The air reeked of a pungent, bloody stench.
Chu Mo wielded his knife and directly charged at the remaining five people from the Prince's Mansion.
Boom!
The five from the Prince's Mansion turned and fled in fear!
This scene looked too bizarre; a youth in his early teens, wielding a bright blade, actually scared off a group of battle-hardened n.
But among everyone who saw this scene, no one felt this strange anymore. Now, they only felt terror!
Most of the onlookers present had never experienced a battlefield, nor seen anyone dead.
Seeing so many people, who were just alive, die in front of them now. Even though they knew in their hearts that these people deserved to die, that unsettling feeling made quite a few people bend over and vomit on the spot.
Clomp clomp!
At this mont, from the other end of this ancient long street, ca a dense sound of footsteps and horse hooves.
A large number of soldiers charged over from that direction.
The garnts those soldiers wore made all the hearts of those present leap into their throats.
Imperial guards!
The people who ca are actually the palace's forbidden army!
Now things have gotten completely out of hand. It's already caused a huge uproar!
The five guards from the Prince's Mansion who managed to escape were intercepted by these soldiers.
"Stop!"
"Don't move!"
"Put down your weapons!"
The leaders among these forbidden army soldiers directly shouted, demanding the five guards from the Prince's Mansion to disarm.
These five guards from the Prince's Mansion felt such injustice that they wanted to cry out loud, we were the ones being hunted down! We are the victims! Can't you see that? Why are you arresting us?
The real murderer is behind us! You should go catch him!
At this mont, no one dared to consider Chu Mo as a re child of about ten years old.
Titles like rebellious child or wild kid had no connection to this youth whatsoever. This was clearly a demon, a god of slaughter!
Although these five guards from the Prince's Mansion felt deeply aggrieved, they obediently put down their weapons and allowed themselves to be controlled by the forbidden army. They dared not oppose the imperial power represented by the forbidden army.
These five felt a strange sense of relief because, at the very least, their lives could be spared now!
At this point, a man wearing a commander's armor from among the forbidden army looked towards Chu Mo's direction. As he looked, he couldn't help but gasp.
On that stone-paved road, there lay over a dozen people already dead, with large amounts of blood frozen next to their bodies. The sll of blood in the air made him feel dizzy.
Then, a very clean, handso, and slightly immature boy stood there with a bright knife in hand, looking at them with an innocent expression.
"This is truly bizarre!" The commander of the forbidden army muttered a curse, unable to resist, then looked at the onlookers: "Did Young Master Chu Mo really do this?"
What surprised him, and left him speechless, was that none of the people said a word.
Thus, the commander asked again: "Did you kill these people?"
This ti, his gaze directly t Chu Mo's.
Speaking from the heart, if possible, this commander would absolutely prefer not to et eyes with Chu Mo.
The feeling was just too uncomfortable!
A kid around ten years old, under normal circumstances, upon seeing soone full of authority and killing intent like him, would likely be too intimidated to say a word, perhaps even scared to the point of wetting himself.
But this youth, surprisingly, calmly t his gaze. From the boy's eyes, there wasn't even the slightest show of reverence towards him. As for fear, that was completely absent.
"I killed them," Chu Mo replied casually, then looking at the forbidden army commander, changed the subject directly: "The emperor sent you to protect , right? Let's go."
"..." The commander of the forbidden army was instantly at a loss for words, having been rendered speechless by Chu Mo.
Indeed, the emperor had indeed sent him to ensure Chu Mo's protection and to escort him to the palace.
But the scene was completely different from what the emperor and they had anticipated!
Moreover, the boy's calmness and composure made him feel as though he was utterly redundant.
Like soone sent to clean up the ss on Chu Mo's behalf... Even though it was indeed the case. But the scene shouldn't be like this. He should be the one in control!
Yet, after glancing at the corpses covering the ground, the forbidden army commander suddenly understood sothing.
This isn't just an ordinary child; this is a terrifying little monster!
Ah well, let it be!
With a sigh in his heart, the forbidden army commander knew that he couldn't treat Chu Mo as an ordinary case, and directly nodded: "Alright, let's go!"
This outco left many people stunned.
The head of the guards from the Prince's Mansion couldn't help but shout: "Commander Zhao, you can't do this! He's a murderer! He's not just a kid!"
At this mont, the forbidden army commander turned back with a cold smile: "I don't need you to tell how to do my job. Take them away!"
With that, he waved his hand, and the forbidden army directly bound the five guards from the Prince's Mansion.
Then the commander of the forbidden army politely said to Chu Mo: "Young Master Chu, shall we also go to the palace for a visit?"
Chu Mo nodded calmly, then glanced back at Miao Yi Niang: "Wait for at the General's Mansion, then send soone to tell Xu Fufu not to worry about and not to get involved in this matter."
Miao Yi Niang nodded bewilderedly. She couldn't understand why the little lord in her heart suddenly seed to mature countless tis over, giving her the impression that she was the young girl and he was the old man!
Looking again at the little lord's youthful face, Miao Yi Niang felt utterly confused.
By the ti she returned to her senses, Chu Mo had already left with that group of people. His slender figure looked sowhat lonely among the crowd. Yet, it appeared even more composed!
