Su Mo Is Going to Kill Someone!

Seeing thugs brutally beating an old man at a bun shop.

His daughter stepped forward to stop them, but was kicked away, instantly spitting blood and collapsing to the ground!

Su Mo's face suddenly darkened!

He was about to yell at them to stop.

Heroine Chen beside him could no longer hold back.

With a sharp cry, like a nimble female leopard, she shot out like lightning!

The female knight-errant had read countless tales of great heroes. As long as it wasn't a family member committing a crime, their sense of justice would be overflowing!

She rushed towards the thugs beating the old man.

Raising her delicate hand, with a clang.

The great treasure sword was finally unsheathed!

Originally, Su Mo thought it was just a prop for the female knight-errant to scare people, and he doubted if it even contained a rusty iron sword.

Now he knew.

Inside the scabbard was indeed a hundred-times-forged treasure sword, gleaming coldly!

Not only did it look good, but it was also extremely sharp!

The great treasure sword slashed through the air like a streak of silk, lightning-fast, passing over the adult thug's ankles.

Then came a scream.

The thug instantly clutched his leg and fell to the ground, howling in pain!

Su Mo's eyes narrowed sharply.

Qianyu's attack was so decisive and ruthless, severing the opponent's Achilles tendon with a single sword strike!

Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover!

Heroine Chen's swordsmanship was truly as she claimed, exquisite and peerless!

Xue Yishu's face turned pale, looking at the imposing Heroine Chen holding the treasure sword in disbelief!

The dozen or so thugs who were smashing the bun shop, seeing their comrade's Achilles tendon severed by a young woman's sword, their faces instantly changed drastically.

They all roared in anger.

Grabbing wooden clubs, stools, and other items, they menacingly surrounded and attacked Qianyu!

As the daughter of a private salt boss, Qianyu had seen her fair share of violence.

Chen Bao, to toughen her up, even took her hunting in the mountains from the age of four or five!

With such a background, she was naturally lawless.

She even dared to say she would go kill that dog of a County Magistrate in Changping County!

Seeing the thugs surround and attack her.

Qianyu let out a cold snort, her treasure sword like a long rainbow. As she dodged and weaved, one thug after another fell to the ground screaming!

Either their Achilles tendons were severed, or their wrist tendons were cut!

In just a few breaths.

All dozen or so thugs were taken down by Heroine Chen!

Su Mo watched, dumbfounded!

Was this Heroine Chen's true strength?

If it were him, he probably couldn't have done it as cleanly and efficiently as the female knight-errant, right?

Only severing wrist or Achilles tendons was much harder than killing directly!

In other words.

He wasn't Heroine Chen's match?

Su Mo couldn't help but swallow, cold sweat seeping from the back of his neck.

That he had repeatedly courted death in front of this female knight-errant and could still stand here unharmed, his great-grandmother must have done her best!

From this, it could be seen.

How terrifying the Female Captain was, who had silently put Heroine Chen to sleep!

Xue Yishu beside him had completely turned to stone.

The expression of disbelief on her pretty face had entered a state of +100 solidification!

After Heroine Chen displayed her might, she looked at the screaming thugs expressionlessly and coldly shouted, "You people bully the good and the honest, and everyone has the right to punish you!"

"I am Chen Qingming, the chief disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect on Mount Wohu, wielding the Jade Maiden Soul Chasing Sword!"

"This is a small punishment for now; if you dare to offend again, I will surely take your lives!"

She paused, then sneered and said, "If you are not convinced, feel free to come to Mount Wohu, I'll be waiting!"

With that, she flicked her white sleeve, sheathed her sword, and gracefully departed!

Su Mo...

Anyone who dared call Heroine Chen foolish again.

Su Mo would absolutely confront them!

Looking at Chen Qianyu, clad in the standard white attire of a female knight-errant, departing with heroic grace.

Her childhood dream of a martial arts world, at this moment, was finally complete.

This was the Jianghu in his heart!

Su Mo couldn't help but feel inspired, bursting into poetry: "A fine ten paces to slay one, a thousand li leaving no trace. When done, flick sleeve and depart, hiding deep body and name!"

He then sighed.

After the female knight-errant punished evil and promoted good, she packed up and left.

He, however, had to stay behind to clean up the mess!

If the authorities applied even a little effort, they could easily discover Heroine Chen's true identity!

Xue Yishu, who was still in a state of shock nearby, heard the famous line by Li Bai and immediately snapped out of her stupor. Her pretty face looked at Su Mo in astonishment!

Another legendary... fragment?

This was unbelievable!

She considered herself well-read and talented, on par with any scholar. How could she have never heard of these two poems, each capable of being passed down through the ages?

The surrounding crowd could no longer hold back their discussion.

"That female knight-errant is so powerful!"

"She took down over a dozen thugs from the Five Peaks Gang by herself!"

"Do you think she's foolish? Leaving right after the fight, and even revealing her name!"

"The Five Peaks Gang will definitely retaliate!"

"Maybe she's just bold because she's skilled!"

"What good is being bold because you're skilled? Can your skill surpass the authorities? Don't you know the background of the Five Peaks Gang?"

"I heard their grand leader is a powerful cultivator of the Immortal Path!"

"You guys are courting death, daring to discuss the Five Peaks Gang. You'll be dead if they hear you!"

At these words, the surrounding crowd immediately fell silent, a chilling fear gripping them!

Su Mo frowned!

He had heard of the Five Peaks Gang from Luo Lie.

He only knew that the Five Peaks Gang was one of the local powers in Changping County, with several hundred members, primarily occupying the eastern part of the city. Even Luo Lie was wary of them.

But he had never investigated the Five Peaks Gang's background in detail!

A mere gang of local ruffians actually harbored a cultivator of the Immortal Path?

And, from the sound of it, they also had connections with the authorities?

Su Mo narrowed his eyes.

After Chen Gan's guidance, he was much more cautious in his actions now, naturally not stepping forward to take on the trouble himself.

He happened to see a merchant from a nearby pottery shop looking gleefully at the thugs groaning on the ground.

He walked over.

Pretending curiosity, he asked in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, what exactly happened?"

"This young man just wanted to buy some steamed buns to fill his stomach, but then my shop got trashed?"

The pottery shop owner sized Su Mo up. Seeing his clean, refined appearance, he took him for a scholar and let down his guard, snorting, "What else could it be?"

"These hoodlums demanded three months' worth of protection fees all at once, and they didn't even come as a group!"

"They usually collect every five days, and they just collected once the day before yesterday!"

"The daughter of the steamed bun shop owner stepped forward to argue with them, and they got angry and threatened to drag her away!"

He said indignantly, "If those thugs drag her away, they'll definitely take turns violating her and then sell her to a brothel!"

"How could the shopkeeper just watch his daughter fall into such a pit? He argued a few words, and his shop was smashed!"

He paused, then continued indignantly, "These past two days, those guys have gone completely mad!"

"Just our pottery shop alone, several groups came. Damn it, they extorted thirty large coins!"

Su Mo was taken aback.

He knew that protection fees were collected by the local thugs.

He also knew that half of the collected fees were to be handed over to Luo Lie.

But Luo Lie also understood the principle of "drying the pond to catch fish will leave no fish," and had set rules for the local gangs. Each gang had its own responsible area, and fees were collected only once every five days.

Why did it suddenly descend into chaos?

Could it be that Luo Lie, knowing the Eastern Market had to be handed over, decided to ruthlessly seize a fortune without regard for the consequences during his three days off?

Damn it!

Isn't this screwing him over?

He even gave that guy the Regular Servant quota!

Su Mo's expression instantly turned grim, his half-closed eyes revealing a sharp killing intent!

He wanted to kill someone!

In this world, establishing authority required killing!

It seemed Leper Zhou alone wasn't enough to establish his authority!
