Tap tap tap—
A mass of black clouds roared through the city, the sound of hooves like a dense drumbeat.
"Sky Scale Guard is investigating a case, everyone clear the way!"
Pedestrians on the street were silent and trembling, retreating to the sides, not daring even to glance, fearing to et the gaze of a formidable official, which could bring ruin upon themselves.
In just half a mont, the black cloud pressed down onto Jinglan Street.
"Stop!"
Li Yuan raised his hand and shouted.
"Whoa!"
The crowd pulled their horses and halted them.
Accompanied by the shrill neighs of Crimson Steeds, dozens of riders abruptly shifted from extre motion to extre stillness, their actions perfectly synchronized, firmly fixed in place like nails!
Truly, they moved like wildfire and stilled like stone!
Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with trepidation.
As Jianghu people, despite usually sneering at the court’s watchdogs, there was an underlying fear hidden in their subconscious—
Sky Scale Guard’s orders were obeyed without question, their discipline strict, their overall quality far beyond any lax sect!
"Mr. Chen, what if the Heir of Prince Yu does not cooperate?" Yu Hongyin jumped down and asked in a low voice.
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It seems you’re unaware of our Sky Scale Guard’s thods in handling cases."
He dismounted and walked slowly towards the grand mansion.
"This is the Prince Mansion, unauthorized people must leave quickly!"
Two guards stationed at the door stepped forward and blocked his path.
Even though the faces were new, the lines were exactly the sa as last ti.
Chen Mo ignored them, lifting his foot to step onto the stone stairs.
"How dare you!"
Clang!
The Prince Mansion Guards unsheathed their weapons!
At the sa ti, a fierce red light burst forth, a whip shadow howled, directly whipping the two guards away, smashing them against the stone lions in front of the door!
Crack!
Accompanied by the sound of snapping bones, their spines bent at a bizarre angle, they imdiately fainted on the spot.
Qiu Longgang shook the Nine-section Whip, the barbs still stained with dripping flesh, speaking in a sinister tone, "Blind fools, how dare you draw swords at Mr. Chen?"
Chen Mo kept walking, ascending seven steps to the tightly closed vermilion door.
He lifted his hand and gently pushed.
Creak—
The door was not bolted, and with a light sound, it slowly opened.
In the front courtyard, dozens of Purple-clothed Guards were neatly aligned, their weapons gleaming with cold light, the atmosphere chilling and murderous.
"Sir, please halt."
A Guard Commander in a silver-collared robe stepped out from the crowd, speaking in a deep voice, "Unauthorized entry into the Prince Mansion leads to imdiate execution, I urge you not to err!"
Chen Mo revealed the yellow silk and token, "On orders to investigate, are you sure you want to block ?"
The Guard Commander seed oblivious, stubbornly repeating, "Unauthorized entry into the Prince Mansion leads to imdiate execution, please leave quickly, sir!"
"Alright."
Seeing this, Chen Mo did not speak further.
The chance had been given; if he was determined to seek death, there was no need to say more.
He raised his hand and waved lightly, a black shadow imdiately darted out from behind him, carrying a Horse-cutting Saber nearly two ters long, crashing into the crowd like a shooting star!
"Sky Scale Guard is investigating, any obstruction will lead to imdiate execution!"
With Li Yuan’s cold and stern voice, the black tide surged in, engaging the Purple-clothed Guards in close combat!
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere!
The Sky Scale Guard, led by Li Yuan and Qiu Longgang, followed closely by other Assistant Officers, coordinating shields, sabers, and spears seamlessly, like a sharp blade, directly tearing apart the purple hue!
A dozen figures stood on walls and rooftops, the sound of strong bows like tearing silk, arrows raining down like a sudden storm!
Under the Array’s enhancent, each arrow bore the power of shattering stone and piercing clouds, and after penetrating a chest, continued on to pin a person against the wall!
"Form a formation!"
The Prince Mansion Guards were clearly well-trained, quickly forming an array at the commander’s shout.
At the sa ti, the bricks below shimred and cast light onto them, coating their skin with a tallic sheen, leaving only faint white marks even under the strike of blades.
The defense of the Prince Mansion Guards surged greatly, the advancent of the black tide inevitably halted.
The Guard Commander smirked coldly, released a Sound Arrow, and shouted loudly, "Follow my orders, prepare to counterattack! Just hold out until reinforcents..."
Roar—
Before he could finish, a tiger’s roar exploded in his ears!
The roar resonated like thunder, causing his vision to darken, his stance to wobble.
Just as he regained his senses, he saw the woman dragging the Stray Blade coldly staring at him.
In the blink of an eye, the figure was already in front of him!
The blade edge ripped through the ground, plowing a deep furrow, the invincible Sword Intent penetrating layer upon layer of defense, tearing open a bloody path through his back!
In the last mont of consciousness, his vision was filled only with those domineering and fierce eyes, followed by a straight blood line appearing on his body, splitting him in two silently and falling to the ground!
Ten Thousand Tribulations Blade·Blade Flow!
As Li Yuan destroyed the Array carved on the ground, the light surrounding the guards faded away.
Finally, their eyes revealed profound fear.
But there was no turning back now; under the massacre of the Sky Scale Guard, like a killing machine, they fell like wheat on the ground.
Chen Mo, hands behind his back, walked through the group engaged in slaughter, as blood rain fell from the sky yet did not stain his clothes, following the path paved with flesh towards the building with flying eaves and upturned corners.
Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong followed closely beside him.
Watching that expressionless face, their throats felt dry.
Their difficulty lay in associating this ruthless man with the image of a civil servant slacking off and seeking comfort just monts ago.
"Is this his thod of investigation?"
Looking at the hellish scene around them, Yu Hongyin’s scalp tingled.
Originally, she thought Chen Mo brought people to make a show of force, traditionally, wouldn’t they negotiate, each revealing their cards...
