Chapter 50 A Villa in the Suburbs!
Not long after!
Su Mu and Chi Lian arrived near a dilapidated villa in the western suburbs outside the city.
Gazing at the courtyard with its flickering candlelight, Su Mu's mind stirred, and his spiritual eyes quietly opened, a pale golden light swirling in his eyes, allowing him to take in the entire atmosphere of the courtyard.
"Fifteen people, three of whom are Grandmasters of the Fifth Realm, and the remaining thirteen are all Martial Artists of the Third Realm, distributed in the courtyard gate, side rooms, and corners of the backyard."
Su Mu said in a low voice, tapping the tree trunk with his fingertips, "There is a faint old man's aura in the side room, it should be Tie Niu's mother."
Chi Lian's eyes sharpened, and she added in a low voice, "Master, those three Grandmasters are one of the managers of the Blood Blade Inn, and they are ruthless..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a soft shout came from inside the courtyard, as if the guards were changing shifts.
Su Mu ducked low and darted to the base of the courtyard wall. "Can you mobilize them?"
Chi Lian shook his head. "The Blood Blade Guards are directly under Shi Lei. No one else can be mobilized except him."
Su Mu's eyes darkened: "Take the token and go forward, using the pretext of checking on the people being held to attract the attention of the courtyard, especially those three grandmasters, and try to delay them for a moment."
Chi Lian nodded, gripped the token tightly, and slowly stepped out of the shadows, heading towards the gate of the courtyard.
Upon reaching the entrance, two third-realm guards immediately blocked their way, brandishing their swords. "Who dares to linger here?"
Chi Lian raised his hand, revealing a black iron token, and said coldly, "I am Chi Lian, sent by Xue Dao to check on the person being held. Open the door immediately!"
The blood-red blade patterns on the token glowed darkly. The guards exchanged glances, and although they had doubts, they dared not disobey. Hesitantly, they pushed open the courtyard gate.
Chi Lian strode in, deliberately raising her voice: "Blood Blade will arrive shortly. Have the three managers come out to see me!"
The courtyard was immediately thrown into commotion, and the guards all turned their heads to look as three powerful auras slowly approached.
At the same time, Su Mu activated the Turtle Breathing Technique, completely concealing his aura. He clung to the wall like a withered leaf, taking advantage of the moment when Chi Lian was distracting him. He lightly touched the wall with his toes and silently climbed over the courtyard wall.
He opened his eyes slightly, precisely avoiding the patrolling guards, and headed straight for the side room.
Sure enough, two guards stood at the entrance of the side room, intently watching the movements inside the courtyard, completely unaware that someone was approaching from the shadows behind them.
Su Mu gathered a gentle force in his palm, slowly moved his feet, and his fingertips were only half an inch away from the back of the guard's neck. Suddenly, he changed his palm to his fingers, and a wisp of light golden spiritual energy condensed into a thin sword, which was the Simple Sword Control Technique.
"call out!"
"call out!"
Two soft, almost inaudible sounds rang out as the spiritual energy swords pierced the backs of the two guards in an instant.
The guard froze, not even having time to groan, before Su Mu caught him and gently placed him on the ground without a sound.
He wiped away the remaining spiritual energy from the sword mark, touched the door lock with his fingertip, secretly channeled his spiritual power, and with a soft "click," the wooden door opened.
The candlelight inside the room was dim, and an old woman lay on the bed, her breath weak; it was Tie Niu's mother.
Su Mu stepped forward slowly, his spiritual eyes scanning the room. After confirming there were no traps, he whispered, "Auntie! Shh!"
The old woman recognized Su Mu and immediately shut up, wanting to cooperate with him, but she simply didn't have the strength to get up.
Su Mu bent down to help her up, but as soon as he touched Huang's sleeve, he felt a weight on his hand. There was a thin silver thread tied to Huang's back, with the end of the thread connected to the restriction under the bed.
A crisp "ding-a-ling" sound, subtle yet sharp, instantly resounded throughout the entire hospital.
In the front courtyard, Chi Lian was exchanging pleasantries with the three shopkeepers when they heard the commotion and their expressions changed drastically.
The shopkeeper on the left, his face scarred, glared and snarled, "Chi Lian! How dare you betray your master! Everyone, kill her!"
Before the words were even finished, the three of them attacked simultaneously. The aura of the fifth-realm grandmasters surged, and their palm strikes, carrying a bloody scent, rushed straight at Chi Lian.
Chi Lian hastily drew his sword to parry, but was knocked back several steps with a clang, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
The other guards surrounded her, trapping her in the center with flashing swords.
The three shopkeepers had different expressions!
The scarred shopkeeper's face was full of ruthlessness as he pressed on relentlessly.
The pale-faced shopkeeper's eyes were sinister as he secretly plotted a deadly move.
The short, stout innkeeper shouted in a deep voice, "There's something strange going on in the side room! Someone must be trying to break us out!"
The three exchanged a glance, all seeing the wariness and urgency in each other's eyes. They immediately abandoned Chi Lian, their figures flashing as they led several guards straight to the room, their steps hurried, determined to capture the intruder.
inside the house.
Su Mu's eyes narrowed, and he quickly shielded Huang Shi behind him, his spiritual eyes locking onto the approaching powerful aura.
Spiritual energy gathered again at his fingertips, his expression calm: "Don't be afraid, ma'am, I'm here, I will definitely take you back safely!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than footsteps approached the door from outside, and the wooden door was kicked open with tremendous force.
"How dare you come to my Blood Blade Inn to snatch someone? You have quite the nerve!"
The scarred shopkeeper stepped in first, his gaze sweeping over the corpses of the guards on the ground before finally settling on Su Mu. After examining him for a moment, he suddenly sneered, "So you're just a mortal with no cultivation whatsoever. You really aren't afraid of death!"
The pale-faced shopkeeper, smoothing the poisoned needle from his sleeve, looked at her with disdain: "Chi Lian actually cooperated with a piece of trash? She's utterly stupid!"
The short, stout shopkeeper clenched his iron fist, his tone fierce: "Perfect, I'll crush you, you piece of trash, then go back and deal with Chi Lian!"
The three men spoke with extreme sarcasm, pressing closer and closer. Their auras, representing the Five Realms, enveloped the entire room, causing Huang to tremble all over.
The scarred shopkeeper struck first, his dark palm striking directly at Su Mu's face. "Old bastard, die!"
Su Mu remained expressionless. Just as the palm wind was about to reach him, a thought suddenly struck him, and the Qingfeng Sword, carrying a chilling spiritual light, shot out and pierced straight for the scarred shopkeeper's throat.
"What?!"
The three men's expressions changed drastically, completely unprepared for Su Mu's ability to fly on a sword.
Scarface hurriedly withdrew his palm to block, and with a loud "clang," his arm went numb from the impact, and he staggered back several steps.
The white-faced shopkeeper shot out poison needles, but they were shattered by the sword energy of the Qingfeng sword, and fragments flew everywhere.
Su Mu wielded the Qingfeng Sword, spinning and sweeping it horizontally. The sword energy forced the three to dodge in a sorry state, their previous contempt vanishing, leaving only horror.
"No cultivation?" Su Mu sneered, his fingers forming a hand seal, causing the Azure Edge Sword to accelerate once more. "A bunch of mortals dare to question this old man? Die!"
