Sizzle!
Sparks flew as the blade scraped against the sheath with a resonant clang. The cold blade was unsheathed, and Gao Feng wielded a Yanling Saber bearing the words "Cang River" from the Patrol Departnt, slashing forward.
The slash was skillful without any fancy moves, the blade appeared like a white streak across the sky.
Su Mu, however, seed oblivious, stepping forward once more to the group of Guo Family henchn, his arms enlarged rapidly in their terrified pupils.
"Bang!"
Su Mu's hands swiftly grabbed two heads and violently slamd them together. With a loud crash, the two people's faces twisted, blood stread from their seven orifices, their heads split from the impact, bodies imdiately went limp, and they were left on the verge of death.
Having killed the two, Su Mu casually tossed them aside and leisurely swung a palm toward the incoming long saber.
"Hero, be careful!"
There was a cry of alarm from outside the house, which caused Gao Feng to hesitate in his attack.
Why did the public, seeing soone kill in broad daylight, applaud with delight?
Su Mu noticed the hesitation on the blade's edge and also caught the subtle changes in expression on Captain Gao Feng's face. Su Mu's eyes glimred, knowing this man was not a villain like Guo Lie.
As his flesh and blood wriggled, Su Mu quietly activated the Vajra Body. To conceal his martial arts, his palm suddenly shimred with a tallic black luster as he struck the blade with Iron Sand Palm.
Clang!
The clash of flesh and the long saber produced a deafening tallic explosion. Gao Feng's face drastically changed, as he suddenly felt an overwhelming force emanating from the saber.
"Snap!"
The long saber instantly broke into two pieces. Su Mu's left hand swiftly reached out, grabbing the flying broken blade and hurling it back as Gao Feng, forced back by the imnse strength, had yet to stabilize his stance.
A heartrending cry echoed through the scene.
It was emitted from Guo Lie's mouth. At this mont, the mockery on Guo Lie's face disappeared, replaced by a twisted, ferocious visage. The broken blade Su Mu had just thrown had precisely pierced through Guo Lie's right arm, and after exiting his body, it pinned into a rafter.
Then, blood spurted forth, expanding into a circle, as if a spring had burst out, and a severed arm dropped to the ground.
"Well done, well done!"
The flying broken blade had elicited a wave of exclamations from outside the gambling house, followed by a bigger cheer when they saw Guo Lie's arm severed.
In the distant alleys, Li Xiaohu and Yang Qingqing heard the commotion over here, "Qingqing, sothing seems to be happening over there, let's go check it out."
"Xiaohu, slow down, your arm isn't healed yet."
"It's fine, the ointnt Su Mu gave works wonders. I feel like I'll be better soon, let's hurry."
Soon, the two of them stopped in their tracks.
"Xiaohu... that seems like Guo Family Gambling House over there."
As they hesitated, the crowd over there suddenly erupted in cheers again, "Well done, hero, kill them!"
Hmm?
The two exchanged a glance and imdiately rushed over again. As they approached the crowd, it suddenly parted, and a figure was sent flying out, crashing heavily to the ground.
The crowd looked on coldly, so even spat at him, and a few took the chance to stomp on him several tis. To them, anyone obstructing the hero inside multiple tis couldn't be a good person.
The sorry figure that had flown out was none other than Gao Feng, who had been slapped away by Su Mu just now.
Thanks to Gao Feng being sent flying, Li Xiaohu and Yang Qingqing imdiately saw the scene inside. Their faces changed drastically as they were t with the bloody image inside the Guo Family Gambling House.
A scarred figure lay prone on the ground, the Guo Family henchn all dead in various positions in a pool of blood, and Guo Lie writhed in agony, clutching the sleeve of his bleeding, empty right arm.
In front of him stood a burly man. With each step the man took, Guo Lie's face paled like wax, his limbs grew weak, and he crawled backward in horror.
A yellow liquid flowed between Guo Lie's legs, emitting a stench—it seed he had been scared shitless.
"Is that... Guo Lie?"
Li Xiaohu and Yang Qingqing could hardly believe their eyes. Could this truly be the sa lawless, arrogant Guo Lie from earlier?
"That's Guo Lie for sure!" soone in the crowd roared.
So clenched their fists, wishing they were the hero dashing in to end Guo Lie, "Who else could it be but Guo Lie? Hero, don't let him go."
"That's right, kill him!"
"Yes, kill him, kill him!"
As if ignited by soone's shout, the onlookers echoed each other's calls, the collective roar akin to crashing waves.
The crowd's nacing intent surged to the sky, forcing even the drifting snow to avoid the area.
More and more people, hearing the commotion, flocked to join in.
Gao Feng, supporting himself up, his robe muddy, looked dazed at the fervent mob fury—ordinary vendors and peddlers, now filled with such flas of anger fiercer than wildfire!
"Save him..."
The iron law of the Patrol Departnt lingered on the tip of his tongue, but seeing the citizens so hell-bent on retribution made Gao Feng hesitate. Each step Su Mu took inside the gambling house made Guo Lie's face grow paler, ghostly like wax.
"Stop!"
Gao Feng finally shouted again, but was soon t with pairs of angry eyes glaring back, as if they wanted to drink Gao Feng's blood in disdain.
Despair gnawed at Gao Feng's heart as he bowed his head, a fierce internal conflict raging within him.
