Chapter 114: Total Annihilation (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
The huge noise startled everyone in all directions, and the echo lingered.

The bandits in the valley looked at He Guangmao who was stared to death on the boulder, and fear appeared on their faces.

What a big deal!

He Guangmao was actually killed!

Once He Guangmao died, even if they could return to the He family, they would still be charged with failing to provide adequate protection.

“He has no knife in his hand, kill him!”

A bandit in the fourth level of body tempering was the first to react, pointing at Su Mu and shouting.

The only way to make up for the mistake now is to kill Su Mu!

As he spoke, the gangster was the first to rush forward.

They all knew Su Mu’s name.

An unparalleled genius who has mastered the artistic conception at the Body Tempering Stage!

Fighting alone, none of them is a match for Su Mu.

But now, Su Mu has no knife in his hand, which is an opportunity for them!

Even if a warrior has a weapon in his hand or not, the strength will be very different.

It’s too late, but it’s soon.

There was more than one criminal who had the same idea.

In an instant, four or five steel knives slashed towards Su Mu from all directions.

“Lord be careful!”

Chen Song shouted loudly.

Su Mu looked calm, with a knife in his right hand, which he swung casually.

The bandit in the fourth stage of body tempering who was rushing in the front reacted quickly. He swung his knife fiercely at the first moment, and even a ferocious look appeared on his face.

He is at the fourth level of body tempering, and the steel knife in his hand is also a fine product. No matter how strong Su Mu’s physique is, how can it compare with swords?
With one strike of his sword, he could definitely cut off the opponent’s palm!
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt dizzy and saw a familiar figure.

That figure was himself!

Pfft!
His consciousness fell into darkness, and his head rolled to the ground with blood gushing out.

Just a moment ago, Su Mu broke the steel knife in the bandit’s hand with his bare hands, grabbed half of the blade with his bare hands, swung it, and cut off the bandit’s head.

The speed was so fast that the gangster couldn’t see clearly what was happening.

At this time, the other bandits who rushed up didn’t even have time to stop.

As the five corpses fell down, Su Mu threw them away.

A beam of cold light suddenly appeared, and half of the steel knife flew through the wind, leaving behind pieces of blood wherever it went. It pierced through the bodies of four or five bandits at once, and finally disappeared into the depths of the valley.

Pfft!
Pfft!
A series of gangsters fell to the ground with their bodies stiff, and blood splattered everywhere.

At this moment, the many bandits who had surrounded Su Mu were finally shocked, and twenty or thirty of them stopped abruptly.

“Bone Tempering, this is the power of the Bone Tempering Realm!”

The only one left in the fourth stage of Body Tempering was filled with horror and cried out in surprise.

How can a body of flesh and blood withstand the sword?
This is definitely not just the power of artistic conception.

This is the effect of tempering the body to the limit, having bones of steel, skin of copper and flesh of iron!
Su Mu is definitely a strong man in the Bone Tempering Realm.

Moreover, he has most likely reached the limit of body tempering!
Thinking of this, the man in the fourth stage of Body Tempering no longer had the slightest fighting spirit.

He turned and ran.

Even though he was at the fourth level of Body Tempering, and even though he still had twenty or thirty companions, he still felt a deep-seated fear.

He knew that facing a strong man who had tempered his body to the limit and mastered the state of mind, even if their number was doubled, they would have absolutely no chance of winning.

Now he only regretted that he was born with two less legs.

Before running, he heard screams coming from behind.

He didn’t even dare to look back, he just hoped that his companions could delay Su Mu for a while so that he could escape more.

Chen Song raised his head and saw Su Mu’s move as fast as lightning, shuttling through the crowd in an instant.

Almost in a breath.

One after another, the powerful gangsters froze in place, and either a bloody mark appeared on their necks or their sternums became deeply sunken.

They fell to the ground one after another with a thump.

Chen Song had fought with these bandits before, and he knew very well how strong these bandits were.

These bandits have become extremely powerful, well-trained, and have excellent teamwork.

When they faced these bandits, they were defeated right from the start and were all captured alive in the end.

But now, these bandits are facing the adults, just like they were facing those bandits back then, and they are vulnerable!
My lord, how strong are you?

Chen Song looked at Su Mu’s back, feeling a sense of awe.

Every time he thought he had seen Su Mu’s true strength, it turned out that what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg. The next time he saw Su Mu take action, Su Mu’s strength would be much stronger.

puff!
At this moment, Su Mu had already arrived in front of the boulder and reached out to pull out the Autumn Water Knife that was stuck in He Guangmao’s body.

He shook his wrist lightly, shaking off the blood on the blade.

Then he turned and looked at the figure who was about to escape from the valley.

He was the last survivor among the forty gangsters.

He is also one of the two bandits who have reached the fourth level of Body Tempering.

At this moment, he was only a few meters away from the valley entrance, but the screams behind him had stopped abruptly. This feeling of silence made him feel uneasy.

He gritted his teeth and burst out with physical strength again, actually breaking through his own limit and his speed increased once again.

Su Mu raised his hand and weighed the Autumn Water Knife.

Then, there suddenly came from his body a sound like the sound of a plucked string, and in the moonlight, his skin was faintly glowing with golden light.

Then he threw the Autumn Water Knife in his hand again.

Swish!
A beam of cold light flew out from the air at an incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived behind the fleeing Body Tempering Stage 4 cultivator.

Then, it seemed as if there was no hindrance at all, and it pierced directly into the vest of the man in the fourth level of body tempering, and then pierced through the opponent’s body in an instant.

The violent force even tore the body of the fourth-level body-tempering bandit into pieces.

Snapped!
Along with the shattered flesh and blood falling to the ground, the Qiu Shui Knife also fell straight to the ground, with half of the blade sinking directly into the ground. The remaining force caused the blade to vibrate violently, making a slight buzzing sound.

Chen Song no longer felt shocked.

He now found it completely acceptable that he could cut a Body Tempering Stage 4 realm warrior into pieces with one strike from a distance of dozens of feet.

Just because the person who made the move was Su Mu!

In his eyes, Su Mu is now an omnipotent god, and nothing is surprising about him being able to do anything.

“Sir, we have embarrassed you.”

Chen Song regained some strength, forced himself to get up, came to Su Mu, and said with a shameful look on his face.

If Su Mu had not arrived suddenly, he would have become a corpse by now, and the brothers he brought with him would have suffered heavy casualties.

“If you have, I will punish you.”

Su Mu said calmly, “Now, let’s release the people first, and then clean up the battlefield. Can you do it?”

“can!”

Although Chen Song still felt severe pain all over his body and had almost no strength left in his body, he would definitely not say no now.

Moreover, the fact that Su Mu asked him to do something showed that Su Mu did not really blame him, which made him feel flattered and moved that a man would die for his friend.

Picking up a knife from the ground, Chen Song limped to the wooden stake and cut the ropes on the constables one by one.

The detectives who survived the disaster had no time to be happy. They supported each other and got busy.

Su Mu calmly watched them carry the bodies of the whole valley together, and also carried the looted property to him. This process was not easy for the injured constables, but after finishing all this, their emotions had completely stabilized, and they no longer showed much of the fear they had before.

They were captured alive, tortured, and nearly beaten to death. If they cannot get over this psychological barrier, they will never be able to be constables in the future.

After all, detectives still have to face such dangers frequently.

But after all this busy work, they felt like they were reborn.

The previous experiences didn’t seem so scary anymore.

“Sir, these people should have accomplices. The goods they robbed previously have been transported away. Only the last batch of robbed goods is left here.”

Chen Song came to Su Mu and reported.

These people robbed three caravans outside the city. Now, only a small part of the goods were left in the valley. Most of the goods had been taken away by them.

“Do you know any of these people?”

Su Mu pointed at the neatly arranged corpses and asked.

“He looks familiar to me. I think I’ve seen him in the inner city, but I’m not sure.”

Chen Song pointed at the man who was nailed to the boulder by Su Mu.

The mask on the man’s face had been taken off, revealing a face that looked to be in his twenties, with a lingering look of fear before death.

“They were very discreet and didn’t have anything on them that could identify them.”

Chen Song said.

“is it?”

Su Mu did not comment and calmly picked up a steel knife dropped by the bandit.

Chen Song’s eyes fell on the steel knife and he suddenly realized.

“It’s the city defense army’s standard steel knife!”

Chen Song said, “The weapons they used are all standard weapons of the city defense army! Are they pretending to be members of the city defense army?”

Chen Song’s face was filled with shock and anger.

“Those who use the city defense army’s standard weapons are not necessarily members of the city defense army.”

Su Mu shook his head. Although these people were well-trained, their temperament was completely different from that of soldiers.

Su Mu had spent some time with Zheng Tu and other city defense troops and was very familiar with their temperament.

“Besides the City Defense Army, there is another place that can easily obtain the City Defense Army’s standard weapons.”

Su Mu said slowly.

“Inner City, Smelting Department!”

Chen Song said, “I understand! The Smelting Department is under the jurisdiction of Gongcao, and the head of Gongcao is He Gongxiu, the head of the He family in the inner city. These people are——”

Chen Song didn’t continue.

It would be a bit sensitive to say any further.

Chen Song also knew that his master had some grievances with the He family in the inner city.

But I just can’t understand why one of the four major families in the inner city would do such a shameless thing as sending people to pretend to be robbers and rob a caravan.

If you say that you are doing this to embarrass adults, that is not right.

Even if you can’t solve the case, it won’t have much impact on you.

He thought about it for a while, but couldn’t figure it out.

“Sir, is it really the He family?”

he asked quietly.

“Yes or no, does it matter?”

Su Mu said calmly, “The He family will not admit it. It will be difficult to make the He family plead guilty based on these.”

What he was talking about was naturally referring to the corpses on the ground.

Even if there are people from the He family among these people, the He family has ten thousand excuses to excuse themselves.

“Take back all the bodies.”

Su Mu stood up and said calmly, “They can’t die in vain, they must play some remaining value.

They were hung in front of the city gate as a warning to others.

The weapons they left behind were sent to the He family, who were told that the East City Division had killed a group of bandits who had stolen weapons from the Smelting Division, and the weapons were returned to their original owners.

“Yes.”

Chen Song bowed.

He almost died here this time. Now that he has already broken off relations with the He family, there is nothing for him, Chen Song, to be afraid of.

Anyway, he is from the Luo family, so he is not afraid of offending the He family.

…………

He Gongxiu looked at the dozens of swords in front of him with an expressionless face.

Ever since Dongchengsi asked someone to bring these weapons, he hasn’t said a word the whole day.

The butler watched on the side in silence, not daring to utter a word.

When was the last time the master was like this?
It seems like it was more than thirty years ago, when the master lost the election for the Taiping Division?
He has followed He Gongxiu for decades and knows very well that He Gongxiu is now extremely angry. He is like a volcano before an eruption and may erupt at any time.

“Master, Master Mao’s body is hanging on the East City Gate. Do you want me to send someone to bring Master Mao back?”

As night fell, the butler could not help but speak in a low voice.

“Take it back? And then tell everyone that it was our He family who robbed the outer city caravan?”

He Gongxiu finally spoke, and he said coldly, “Tell the family that no one is allowed to go. Anyone who goes will be immediately removed from the family tree and kicked out of the He family.

That person only looks a bit like Guangmao, he is not He Guangmao, remember?”

“Yes.”

The housekeeper said quickly.

He Gongxiu’s face was gloomy. Since when did these embarrassing things start happening one after another?

Now he was actually going to leave his nephew’s body exposed in the open for people to humiliate him!

It all seemed to have started when that Su Mu showed up.

And all this seems to be related to Su Mu.

A small fry, unknowingly, had caused so much trouble for the He family!

It would have been better if we had killed him when he first showed up.

A moment of carelessness actually allowed him to become somewhat successful!
He Gongxiu looked outside the hall. The pitch-black night enveloped the He Mansion. The entire He Mansion was like a sleeping beast.

This beast is now showing its fangs and sharp teeth.

“It’s not too late. It’s not too late now.”

He Gongxiu murmured to himself, “He hasn’t changed his blood yet, and hasn’t become the Taiping Commander, and the same goes for the girl from the Luo family.

No matter how talented you are, you will be dead if you die.

Once they die, who among the younger generation of Wuling City can compete with my son?

Su Mu, your mistake was that you exposed yourself to me too early. You thought you won, but in fact, you didn’t win.

You know nothing about the power of my He family, but I know your power very well.

This time, I will make sure you die without a burial place!”

There was a strong murderous intent in He Gongxiu’s eyes, which made the butler not far away shudder all over.
