This Blade Is On Me, No Charge

Earlier, feeling that Su Chen had caused them to lose face, the martial artists of the Jianghu all began to mock him.

Now, seeing how familiar Su Chen was with an Imperial Guard captain, they all became afraid.

To ordinary Jianghu martial artists, the Imperial Guards were as terrifying as the King of Hell.

Anyone who offended the Imperial Guards might as well slit their own throat and commit suicide.

If they waited for the Imperial Guards to come knocking, the experience would be worse than death.

What made their hearts tremble even more was that the Imperial Guard captain's attitude towards Su Chen was visibly fawning.

It was obvious to anyone that a person who could make an Imperial Guard captain fawn over them couldn't be ordinary.

At this moment, everyone finally realized why Su Chen dared to take on the bounty to deal with Tian Boguang.

It turned out he truly had skills, and wasn't the greenhorn they had imagined.

The brawny man who had spoken up earlier regretted it immensely.

He wished he could slap himself hard.

"You and your big mouth, you and your big mouth. We had no enmity, why couldn't you have just minded your own business? Why did you have to mock him?"

"Now you've offended him, you're probably not going to make it."

The others felt like crying but had no tears.

"What face? We are just small fry in the Jianghu, where would we get any face?"

"Our faces are just the shoe insoles of those big shots."

"Even if we were used as shoe insoles, they'd still complain they were too thin and uncomfortable."

A wave of regret spread through everyone's hearts.

At this moment, Captain Xing, Xing Daorong, also sensed something was amiss.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the terrified martial artists.

His eyes were sharp and scrutinizing.

"What's going on? Can someone tell me what's going on?"

Captain Xing's voice wasn't loud, but to them, it sounded like thunder.

For a moment, no one dared to respond.

Master Zhao shrank back, afraid Captain Xing would notice him.

But as expected, his fear came true.

"Old Zhao, you tell me, what happened just now?" Captain Xing's voice was sharp.

Master Zhao trembled with fear.

However, despite his fear, he didn't dare to hide anything.

He shakily recounted everything that had happened to Captain Xing.

After listening, Captain Xing actually showed a strange smile.

It was as if he was laughing at how audacious they were.

"Good, good, very good. You all have quite a lot of nerve."

"Someone like Brother Su, I have to respect him, I have to fawn over him."

"Let alone me, even the Bureau Chiefs of the Two Bureaus have to give him some face. Who do you think you are, daring to disrespect Brother Su?"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were filled with indescribable fear.

Let alone the Bureau Chiefs, even the most ordinary Imperial Guardsmen from the Two Bureaus were people they couldn't afford to offend.

Now, they had offended someone who even the Bureau Chiefs had to give face to.

This was it, they were completely finished.

Overwhelmed by extreme fear, no one could stand anymore.

More than a dozen Jianghu martial artists knelt down in unison, kowtowing to Su Chen to apologize.

"Sir, great sir, we were blind and offended you. Please don't hold it against us..."

Master Zhao was so scared he curled up, his head bowed so low it almost disappeared into his crotch.

Even the Imperial Guards who had accompanied Captain Xing looked at Su Chen with surprise.

They too couldn't believe that a mere Jianghu martial artist had so much influence.

If you can't find the book by its title, maybe try searching for the author, perhaps the title has changed!

After reprimanding everyone, Captain Xing turned to Su Chen with a smile, "Brother Su, tell me, how should these people be punished?"

Su Chen chuckled, "No need for punishment..."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Captain Xing looked surprised.

He muttered to himself, "Has this killer turned over a new leaf or what? Everyone else is affecting his earnings, and he can still be so generous?"

The next second, as Su Chen spoke, Captain Xing knew he had misjudged. And he had misjudged terribly.

Su Chen said emotionlessly, "No need to punish them. Just kill them directly, it's more convenient."

Hearing this, Captain Xing was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses.

He clicked his tongue inwardly, "Now that's more like it. This is the killer who only cares about money and not people."

"Guards, kill all these scoundrels," Captain Xing commanded. The Imperial Guards behind him drew their swords and moved into action.

Facing the threat of death, the dozen or so martial artists couldn't hold back any longer.

"If you want our lives, we'll fight you!"

The bare-chested man roared, sprang from the ground, and charged at the Imperial Guards.

With him leading the way, the rest of the group also took action.

Although their martial arts skills weren't high, they had the advantage in numbers.

Facing a dozen burly men, just three or five Imperial Guardsmen didn't dare to act rashly.

Seeing this, Captain Xing's face darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Are you trying to rebel?"

"If you won't let us live, then what's wrong with rebelling against you?"

"Unless you're willing to let us go."

For a moment, Captain Xing was in a difficult position.

Just as he was about to turn to Su Chen for help, he heard the sound of a sword being drawn beside his ear.

Immediately after, a flash of silver light grazed past his ear.

The next second, the charging dozen martial artists were all cleanly cut in half.

Such a bloody scene made Captain Xing's heart tremble.

He turned his head back with some difficulty, only to see Su Chen sheathing his sword and a smile on his face.

Gulp. Captain Xing swallowed.

Su Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, this blade is on me. No charge."

That last strike had come from Su Chen.

These people had already interfered with his earnings, so there was no possibility of letting them go.

If Captain Xing and his men hadn't shown up, he would have already drawn his sword and killed these dozen people.

He wouldn't have let them live until now.

"Heh heh, good, good," Captain Xing was already stammering.

No matter how many times he saw Su Chen, this money-grubbing killer always brought him a different kind of shock.

Captain Xing took a deep breath and ordered his subordinates, "Hurry up and carry the bodies away."

At this moment, the Imperial Guardsmen snapped out of their daze and began clumsily carrying the bodies out of the courtyard.

Master Zhao was also terrified out of his wits.

He watched helplessly as more than a dozen people were cut in half right in front of him.

He felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

His legs felt weak and shaky. If there hadn't been a chair nearby for support, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

"Don't worry, you're my client, and I'm counting on you to make money. I won't do anything to you..."

Captain Xing chimed in, "Old Zhao, what are you so scared of? With Brother Su here, dealing with Tian Boguang will be a piece of cake."

Hearing their words, Master Zhao's fear subsided a little. However, he still didn't dare to linger.

He left them with a sentence, "You two wait here for a moment, I'll go help the Imperial Guards move the bodies."

Afterward, he fled as if his life depended on it, directing his servants to help the Imperial Guardsmen move the corpses.
