Cultivating in Different Professions

Chapter 152: Chapter 116: Counter-kill

Under the moonlight, the figure in black—obviously a woman—held a sword, her sword light a dense and unending web that had completely entangled the Blood Transformation Realm expert.

This development completely took Su Mu by surprise.

Su Mu had been mentally prepared ever since he’d noticed something was off about this group of Fragrance Sect remnants.

He hadn’t retreated immediately because he was confident in his Indestructible Golden Body.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see how his Indestructible Golden Body would fare against a Blood Transformation Realm expert.

He just never expected that when the moment of crisis arrived, someone would actually step forward to help him.

’Who is this person in black?’

Su Mu didn’t rush to act. Instead, he observed the black-clad person locked in combat with the enemy’s Blood Transformation Realm expert.

’A woman, and one who possesses strength on par with the Blood Transformation Realm.’

Su Mu racked his brain but couldn’t place her.

Among the women he knew, the strongest was likely Luo Anning.

Luo Anning was on the verge of the Blood Transformation Realm, so it was plausible she had the strength to fight someone in that realm.

But Luo Anning was taller and leaner than this woman in black.

Besides, Luo Anning practiced the Sword Technique of the Kan Water Lineage. This person’s technique, however—yielding on the surface but powerful underneath—was clearly from the Dui Ze Lineage.

Most importantly, if it were Luo Anning, she would have no reason to hide her identity.

”Sir, stop staring! We have to go!”

Chen Song hurried over, grabbing Su Mu’s arm and urging him anxiously.

With a Blood Transformation Realm expert involved, this situation was already far beyond what the East City Bureau could handle.

”It’s too late to leave.”

Su Mu shook his head, his gaze suddenly snapping in another direction.

From within the crowd, a short, stocky figure slowly emerged. He carried a short spear, and his skin radiated a faint, blood-red glow.

’Another Blood Transformation Realm expert!’

The question on the tip of Chen Song’s tongue died in his throat.

’Two Blood Transformation Realm experts?’

’Now we really can’t get away.’

”Sir, we’ll hold him off! You get out of here!”

Chen Song said, gritting his teeth.

”None of you are leaving today.”

A voice drifted from another direction.

Another figure appeared. To their shock, it was yet another Blood Transformation Realm expert!

’Three Blood Transformation Realm experts!’

’And dozens of Body Tempering Realm Martial Artists!’

Against such power, even if the entire East City Bureau had been mobilized, they would only have been annihilated.

What’s more, they were only a fraction of the East City Bureau’s forces.

’We can’t win.’

’It’s completely impossible.’

Despair flooded Chen Song’s heart.

If there had only been two Blood Transformation Realm experts, the black-clad woman could have tied one down, and they could have desperately held back the other. That might have bought their Sir a chance to escape.

But with three of them, even if they gave their lives, they could never hold back two.

Unless their Sir could defeat a Blood Transformation Realm expert, they were all as good as dead.

”Sir, it has been my honor to follow you. I’ll be going on ahead!”

Chen Song suddenly dropped to one knee before Su Mu, his voice grave.

He then raised his saber, about to charge forward.

Chen Song might have had some of the shortcomings of a veteran constable, but he also possessed a fiery spirit. When he’d been captured by bandits—impersonators sent by the Hu Family—he had endured for days before finally forcing his way out of his bindings and killing one of the bandits in a desperate struggle.

Even though he ultimately failed to escape, achieving that much under those circumstances was no small feat.

Now, facing this desperate plight, that fiery spirit in Chen Song’s bones had been ignited once more.

He decided to fight to the death. Even if he couldn’t defeat a Blood Transformation Realm expert, he would make him bleed.

SLAP!

A hand landed on Chen Song’s shoulder.

Chen Song immediately felt a surge of power, forcing him to stumble back several steps.

STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!

By the time he steadied himself, he found he was behind Su Mu.

”Sir!”

Chen Song cried out.

”Chen Song, hear my order!”

Su Mu spoke slowly as he drew his Autumn Water Saber. ”Apprehend the remnants of the Fragrance Sect and bring them to justice. As for those who resist arrest... slay them without mercy!”

”Hahaha!”

The two Blood Transformation Realm experts who had them flanked burst into laughter.

”You brat, Su Mu, are you blind to the situation? You’re like turtles in a jar, completely trapped, yet you still dare to spout such arrogant nonsense.”

The short, stocky Blood Transformation Realm expert sneered. ”Apprehend us? Every last one of you is going to die today, and you think you’re in any position to apprehend us?”

”Chen Song, did you not hear me?”

Su Mu ignored the man and simply spoke again, his voice calm.

”I heard you—”

Chen Song said, ”Yes!”

he roared, using every ounce of his strength.

”YES!”

The constables of the East City Bureau all roared in unison, screaming at the top of their lungs.

”Now is the time to be bold. Fight,”

Su Mu said calmly.

With a collective roar, Chen Song and his men raised their sabers and charged the surrounding Fragrance Sect remnants.

”Since they’re courting death, let’s grant them their wish.”

The other Blood Transformation Realm expert said coldly. With a wave of his hand, the Fragrance Sect remnants charged forward as well.

In an instant, the two groups crashed together, locking themselves in a chaotic and deadly melee.

Yet in the center of the battlefield, a strange pocket of calm remained.

Su Mu and the two Blood Transformation Realm experts stood facing each other.

None of them had made a move.

Everyone else, by tacit agreement, gave them a wide berth.

Even the first Blood Transformation Realm expert and the woman in black were now fighting hundreds of yards away.

”Sending three Blood Transformation Realm experts just to kill me... The Hu Family really overestimates my importance,”

Su Mu couldn’t help but mutter.

”The Hu Family? Get it straight. The ones killing you are from the Fragrance Sect.”

A strange glint flashed in the eyes of the slightly taller Blood Transformation Realm expert on the right as he shouted.
