Chapter 122 Breaking into He’s Mansion (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
The killer in black clothes and black face steadied his body, and without any hesitation, he kicked hard, even abandoning the black sword, and rushed towards the dark forest.
If you miss a hit, you will be able to escape a thousand miles.
He was a killer, and the moment he realized that the person coming was powerful, he chose to escape.
“Help me.”
Su Mu snorted coldly, his feet exploded, and he pounced out.
Although there was no discussion, Luo Anning rushed forward tacitly and appeared behind Su Mu in an instant.
She just spun around, and the sword in her hand appeared accurately under Su Mu’s feet.
boom!
Su Mu tapped the sword with his foot, and the power exploded.
Luo An Ning staggered back a few steps, his blood rushing like a tide, and a strange bright red flashed across his face.
She looked up and forward.
Su Mu’s skin was glowing with a faint golden light, which was clearly visible under the moonlight.
This is–
Luo Anning couldn’t help but reveal a hint of shock on his face.
Physical supernatural powers!
She came from a distinguished family and was well-informed, so she recognized the cause of the change in Su Mu at a glance.
In an instant, a huge wave of ups and downs rose in her heart.
The words are divided into two parts.
With the help of Luo An Ning, Su Mu exerted force again in mid-air and his speed increased again.
In the blink of an eye, the man and the knife had crossed a distance of ten feet and appeared behind the killer.
The killer’s martial arts skills are truly amazing.
However, under the burst of power from the indestructible golden body at the extreme state of body tempering, Su Mu’s speed was not much slower than that of the opponent in a short distance.
It just wasn’t long enough.
boom……
Su Mu swung his knife at the killer’s back.
The sword shines like a sword, and the sound of it breaking through the wind is like the roar of a dragon or a tiger.
In terms of endurance, Su Mu is indeed not as good as the strong ones in the Blood Exchange Realm.
If the other party escaped into the mountains and forests, Su Mu might not be able to catch up with him.
In terms of explosive power alone, Su Mu is definitely much stronger than him.
By the time Su Mu caught up with him, he had already lost his only chance of escape.
puff!
The killer heard the sound of breaking wind coming, and he tried to dodge, but he was hit in the shoulder by the blade.
“what!”
The killer let out a terrifying scream.
His entire arm was chopped off by Su Mu’s sword.
Such a strong physique was as fragile as tofu under the blade of the Thunder Sword.
A hint of surprise also flashed across Su Mu’s face.
Last time when he used the Autumn Water Knife, he also hit the Blood Exchange Realm, but immediately afterwards he was stuck by the muscles and bones of the Blood Exchange Realm.
Because the Autumn Water Knife was not sharp enough, and also because the physique of the Blood Exchange Realm was too strong.
But this time, he used the Thunder Blade.
Su Mu succeeded in one move without any hesitation.
The artistic conception of Xunfeng and the artistic conception of Kanshui burst out at the same time, slashing across with one knife.
When facing people with higher realms than himself, Su Mu always leaves no room for them.
puff!
A head rolled down the neck and the black mask fell to the ground, revealing a pale and lifeless face.
Blood gushed out like a waterfall, and the headless corpse fell straight backwards.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Su Mu did not turn back, but immediately began to search the killer’s body.
Soon, he took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from the killer’s arms, and a smile appeared on his face.
“How did you come?”
Luo Anning’s voice came from behind, with a hint of fatigue and a hint of imperceptible joy.
“The killer from the Golden Wind Tower.”
Su Mu put the porcelain bottle into his arms, then took out a stack of silver bills from the killer, held them in his hand, and stood up.
“Another person tried to assassinate me, but I killed him instead. I heard from the assassin that you were in danger, so I came here.”
Su Mu said.
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Luo Anning’s face, but she quickly calmed down.
“Why would the assassin from Jinfeng Tower come to assassinate me?”
She frowned slightly and thought seriously.
“That’s good enough. At least they came here to assassinate you seriously, unlike me, who is just an extra.”
Su Mu said, handing the stack of banknotes in his hand to Luo An Ning, “Here, your life-saving money.”
Luo An Ning just took a look, shook his head and said, “I don’t need the silver, you keep it. You killed the person, so these should have been yours.”
Su Mu didn’t give in, he knew Luo An Ning was not short of money.
Putting the banknote away, Su Mu looked at Luo An Ning and said, “Golden Wind Tower will fight to the death. If they didn’t succeed this time, they will definitely continue to attack you in the future. We have to find a way to deal with it.”
“They don’t stand a chance.”
Luo An Ning shook his head and said, “I’m already in the blood exchange stage.”
She looked at Su Mu with a little pride, and suddenly thought of Su Mu’s physical power. That little pride suddenly disappeared, and she continued dejectedly, “After returning to the city, I will take part in the test of the Taiping Division. As long as I embroider the word ‘Taiping’, Jinfeng Tower will not dare to attack me again.
Unless the employer behind them is willing to offer a high price that they cannot refuse.
But no one in Wuling City can afford the price of asking Jinfenglou to risk offending the Taiping Division and assassinate a Taiping Commander.”
“Right.”
Su Mu thought about it and nodded, “This is a permanent solution. I was thinking that we could join forces to take down the Jinfeng Tower’s base in Wuling City.”
“…”
Luo An Ning looked at Su Mu and said seriously, “This is definitely not possible. There are countless strong people in the Golden Wind Tower. Even if the four major families join forces, it is impossible to wipe them out.”
“let it go.”
Su Mu shrugged and said, “Let’s use your method. Become the Taiping Commander first, and let them be cautious. If they still refuse to give up, then find another way to deal with them.”
“It’s a pity that I didn’t leave anyone alive, otherwise I would like to ask who asked Jinfenglou to assassinate me.”
Luo An Ning said, “But even if we leave someone alive, it’s useless. The people in Jinfeng Tower will not reveal the identity of their employer.”
Doesn’t Jinfenglou know how to do that?
Su Mu disagreed.
“The employer is the He family.”
Su Mu said lightly.
“He family?”
Luo Anning looked at Su Mu with some surprise, “Are you sure? I have no grudge against the He family, why would they ask Jinfeng Tower to assassinate me?”
“Sure. As for why, we can only ask the He family.”
Su Mu shrugged.
“Okay, then go ask them.”
Luo An Ning said, and walked forward with murderous intent.
Really ask?
Su Mu looked at Luo An Ning’s back, stunned. It was the first time he saw Luo An Ning’s decisive side. He said ask, and you really go and ask?
“Why are you still standing there? Didn’t the He family also ask Jinfenglou to assassinate you? Why don’t you come with me?”
Luo Anning took two steps and found that Su Mu did not catch up with him, so he turned back.
“Go, of course.”
Su Mu burst out laughing.
Asked in person, close to the face and opened wide, I like it.
…………
Sometimes you have to admit that people are different.
Although they were both wearing the white official uniform of the Taiping Division, Su Mu even had the additional identity of Sima of the Dongcheng Division.
But he asked himself, it is absolutely impossible for him to open the inner city gate an hour earlier.
And Luo An Ning just shouted at the gate of the inner city.
When there was still one hour before the city gate was opened, the gate of the inner city was opened early.
The city defense troops simply asked a few procedural questions and let the two men enter the inner city.
“I wouldn’t normally do that.”
Noticing Su Mu’s expression, Luo An Ning explained, “But this time I have to enter the city openly, so I’ll be a little willful.” Su Mu nodded to show his understanding.
If the two of them sneaked into the city and went to He’s house to confront him face to face, there was no guarantee how the He family would react.
If the He family was really ruthless enough, even if they killed both of them, they could just deny having ever seen them.
But now, the two of them entered the city in a grand manner, and so many city defense troops saw them. Even if the He family wanted to take action, they would definitely not dare to do so.
Su Mu is fine, but Luo Anning is the city lord’s daughter.
The two of them walked one after the other and came straight to the door of He’s house.
This was not the first time Su Mu came to this place, but it was the first time he stood at the gate.
Just when Su Mu was thinking about how Luo An Ning was going to open the door, he saw Luo An Ning take two steps forward, draw out his sword, and strike with two clicks.
The two heavy doors shattered into pieces.
Miss Luo walked in with her head held high.
Su Mu laughed in silence. Miss Luo’s usual low-keyness almost made him forget that she was the top second generation in Wuling City and had the identity of a privileged institution, so she had nothing to worry about.
The fact that she doesn’t put on airs usually shows that she has good upbringing, but it doesn’t mean she will be bullied.
“Miss Luo, what do you mean?”
The huge noise had already alarmed everyone in the He family.
When Su Mu stepped over the threshold, he saw Luo An Ning being stopped in the middle of the yard by He Gongxiu who had hurried over.
“I also want to ask what the He family means!”
Facing He Gongxiu and the He family, Luo An Ning was not afraid at all. He said in a cold voice, “I have no grudges against your He family. You hired assassins from the Jinfeng Tower to kill me. Do you want to give me an explanation?”
“Where did you hear this rumor, Miss Luo? It’s a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding!”
He Gongxiu’s face turned pale, and he said, “My He family and the Luo family have always been on good terms, how could this old man have any dealings with a place like Jinfeng Tower?
It is even more impossible to hire someone to assassinate my niece.
I think someone is maliciously slandering my He family and trying to sow discord between our two families!”
He Gongxiu’s gaze fell on Su Mu behind Luo An Ning, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to cut Su Mu into pieces.
“Miss Luo, did you listen to the villain’s words?”
He Gongxiu stared at Su Mu and said.
You can just talk, why are you staring at me? Are you referring to me as that villain?
Su Mu held the Thunder Blade in his arms and rolled his eyes at He Gongxiu.
When He Gongxiu saw the Thunder Blade in Su Mu’s hand, he almost fainted.
That was the precious sword that his He family had treasured for many years.
You bastard, you came to my He family with my He family’s knife, wanting to kill people and destroy their hearts!
“Why are you looking at him? He’s a victim too!”
Luo An Ning took a step sideways, blocking He Gongxiu’s sight, and protected Su Mu behind him, “You know exactly what happened.
Today, the two of us almost died at the hands of the assassins from the Golden Wind Tower. If you don’t give me an explanation, don’t blame me for causing a scene at the He family.”
She placed her right hand on the hilt of the sword, her body filled with murderous intent.
He Gongxiu’s face was as gloomy as water, and he said coldly, “My dear niece, do you think that my He family has no one and can’t even stop a blood exchange realm?”
“I don’t feel anything. I just know that if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.”
Luo Anning said.
“I practice swordplay so that when someone is unreasonable, my sword can teach them the truth.
He Gongxiu, do you want to try my sword? “
He Gongxiu’s expression changed.
Not to mention that Luo An Ning had just broken through the blood transfusion stage, even if she had completed the blood transfusion, the He family would still be able to deal with her.
But in the current situation, if the He family takes action, things will get out of hand.
The He family is not in the right to hire someone to assassinate the eldest daughter of the Luo family.
If the Luo family seized the opportunity, it would not be impossible for them to join forces with the other two families to destroy the He family.
“Miss Luo, let me say it again, my He family knows nothing about the assassination attempt on you by Jinfeng Tower, and this matter has nothing to do with my He family.”
He Gongxiu snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, “The Luo and He families have always been on good terms. Considering that my niece was frightened, I will let you forget about forcing your way into the He residence tonight.
I see that my niece is also injured, and I happen to have some healing pills, so I will give them to you, my niece.”
He Gongxiu ordered the housekeeper to bring up the pills.
Soon, several bottles of pills were delivered to Luo An Ning.
“He’s injured too!”
Luo An Ning pointed at Su Mu and said.
What does his injury have to do with me?
He Gongxiu was so angry that his hair and beard were flying and his chest was heaving violently.
“I’m really injured, very serious internal injuries.”
Su Mu said seriously, “It will take a pill worth 20,000 taels of silver to cure it.”
“Give him two more bottles of pills!”
He Gongxiu gritted his teeth and said, “My dear niece, enough is enough!”
His face was gloomy and he was almost on the verge of exploding.
Luo An Ning put away all the pills quickly and efficiently.
“Forget about it this time. If Jinfenglou comes to assassinate me again next time, I will come again!”
Luo An Ning threw down a sentence, turned around and walked out. When passing by Su Mu, he pulled Su Mu’s arm.
Looking at the broken door, He Gongxiu let out an angry growl.
…………
It was not until they were far away from the He Mansion that Luo An Ning let go of Su Mu’s arm, with a look of joy on his face, “Let’s share the things. We made a profit this time.”
Feeling the remaining warmth on his wrist, Su Mu smiled slightly, “It’s just a few bottles of pills, it’s a bargain for the He family.”
“You do not understand.”
Luo An Ning shook his head and said, “Don’t think that the He family has a monopoly on the weapon smelting in Wuling City. In fact, the He family has a close relationship with the Shennong Baicao Sect. The elixirs in their family all come from the Shennong Baicao Sect and are of very good quality.”
In the Daxuan Dynasty, skills and cultivation resources were basically monopolized by three forces.
One is the official of the Daxuan Dynasty, one is a famous family, and the other is a martial arts sect.
Some martial arts sects are so powerful that even the officials of the Daxuan Dynasty have to show them some respect.
Shennong Herbal Sect is such a large sect.
“Shennong Baicao Sect, is it very strong?”
Su Mu said thoughtfully.
“Very strong, but their strength lies in alchemy. In other aspects, they cannot compare with our Taiping Division.”
Luo An Ning said, “The most powerful force in Daxuan is still our Taiping Division. These are mine, and these are yours.”
She stuffed a few porcelain bottles into Su Mu’s hands.
“The He family is so patient and silent, which shows that they are in the wrong. This also proves that they were the ones who hired someone to assassinate me.
But there is no real evidence for this matter, and I can’t do anything to the He family. I smashed their door and made them spit out the pills, but that’s all I can do.”
Luo Anning explained.
Su Mu nodded. In fact, he was a little surprised that He Gongxiu could endure it, but it was obvious that both sides understood that no one could do anything to the other openly.
It was a great victory for Luo An Ning to force the He family to give out so many pills.
If you really want to do anything else, it will only force out the real masters of the He family.
As one of the four major families in the inner city, having its gate smashed to pieces was already embarrassing enough.
“Su Mu, what else do you want?”
Luo Anning took two steps forward and suddenly turned his head and asked.
“What else do I want?”
Su Mu was puzzled.
“Kung Fu, martial arts, weapons, gold, silver, jewelry, and even maids are all fine.”
Luo An Ning said, “You saved my life, I have to repay you.
Tell me what you want, and I’ll give it to you.”
Miss Luo’s tone was calm, yet it revealed an impressive confidence.
Su Mu was a little surprised. Luo Anning is such a good girl.
“Anything you want?”
Su Mu pondered.
