Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 648: 283 Let's Go Kill Someone_3
Chapter 648: Chapter 283 Let’s Go Kill Someone_3
He said this, seemingly with difficulty in speaking.
After a moment, he finally said in a low voice:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, forgive my bluntness, but I think she might not be human.”
“Why do you say that?”
Su Mo looked at him and couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing.
Regarding Xu Lu’s claim that he wanted to escape, Su Mo actually believed him.
Outside of Tihu Village, Xu Lu already seemed to have the intention to flee; considering this together with earlier events, it seemed to confirm it.
Moreover, without mentioning the martial arts skills of the person in the big red sedan chair, just the four bearers alone were no ordinary people.
That Chang Shixin from the Divine Leg Sect had no chance to fight back and was killed on the spot.
It would be incredibly simple for these people to control Xu Lu by just sealing his acupoints, preventing him from using his Qinggong.
As his thoughts churned, he heard Xu Lu say:
“This whole journey, I was sitting in the same sedan chair with her.
She was wearing a red wedding dress, with a Phoenix Crown, her face unseen.
But… but she didn’t breathe at all throughout the journey.
When I interacted with her…”
At this point, he caught the gazes of Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.
Helplessly, he said:
“Alright, alright, it wasn’t a fight, but when she grabbed my neck, her hand was ice cold, completely devoid of any warmth, definitely not like a living person’s hand!”
“Oh?”
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances.
“Really.”
Seeing their skepticism, Xu Lu said:
“There was one time… just one time… I saw her head drooping down as she sat there, her red veil hanging straight down. Out of curiosity, I couldn’t help but peek from below to see her face…”
Xu Lu’s face turned pale as he spoke: “And… and she had no face!”
“No face?”
Yang Xiaoyun was also surprised, but she glanced at Su Mo:
“What kind of divine skill is this?”
“…Wuxiang Divine Skill?”
Su Mo blurted out, but then waved his hand: “Or it could be Disguise Technique, deliberately fooling Xu Lu. The people from Yin Mountain enjoy ‘pretending to be a god’, it seems Hero Xu has been quite the source of amusement for them along the way.”
“…”
Xu Lu was left speechless.
Su Mo felt that they had asked enough, so he spoke to Xu Lu:
“Hero Xu, you need to do something for me.”
“Master, you’re being too formal. If there’s something to be done, your disciple will handle it. Just give the order.”
“…”
Su Mo realized that aside from Xu Lu’s heroic nature, he unexpectedly has quite thick skin.
But on second thought, it seemed rather normal.
As someone who hung around street corners and later was engaged in thievery,
when Su Mo caught him at the Hui River and he pleaded so readily on his knees, clearly an expert in this field, who else could pull it off without a thick skin?
He immediately shook his head: “We’ll discuss this matter later, for now, please take care of these villagers here. I’ll have Old Hu come find you shortly, and after you meet, you two will lead them to a temporary refuge.”
“Are you saying…”
Xu Lu paused.
“Tihu Village is currently a hideout for filth; it needs a thorough cleanup before it can be inhabited.”
A slight smile appeared on Su Mo’s face, sending a shiver down Xu Lu’s spine.
He felt that the murderous aura around Su Mo was nearly taking solid form.
With that, the instructions were essentially complete.
Su Mo turned with Yang Xiaoyun and left the cave.
Xu Lu turned to look at the nervous villagers and said:
“Don’t worry, this will all be over soon.”
The villagers had witnessed the entire scene and understood that Su Mo and his company were genuinely good people.
Now they were even heading to deal with the evil ones in the village.
Whispers of relief were heard among them, some sobbed softly, relieved, and others naturally worried about the future.
But after all, to be spared from death and survive this predicament brought more feelings of fortune.
Xu Lu then tried to chat with them to ease their nerves, and later asked:
“Do you know if there’s any other hidden place nearby that could serve as a safe haven?”
…
…
After leaving the cave, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun headed back to Tihu Village.
But they did not go to the large house, instead, they returned to their lodgings briefly.
Zhen Xiaoxiao was dozing off on the kang bed, waking with a start from time to time, nodding off, forcing herself to shake off the sleepiness.
Seeing Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, her eyes widened:
“Master, Second Master, I wasn’t sleeping.”
“…”
Su Mo was momentarily at a loss for words: “Come with me.”
“Okay.”
Zhen Xiaoxiao immediately nodded, rolled off the kang bed with a big yawn, and then went to drag the One-legged Copper Man out with her.
The three of them then went to Hu Sandao’s room.
Hu Sandao was lying on the kang bed again, his clothes back in the disheveled state as before, a mirage of silently waiting obedience.
Hearing footsteps, he thought it was Heart Demon Xiulan returning.
But seeing it was Su Mo and the others, he immediately blushed and hurriedly got up:
“Chief, Vice Leader…”
Su Mo glanced at him and his untidy clothes and raised an eyebrow.
Hu Sandao quickly said:
“I was just… trying not to blow my cover.”
Su Mo nodded: “Exactly, Old Hu’s consideration is comprehensive, certainly not just waiting here to spend a spring night with Xiulan.”
“…”
Hu Sandao’s face turned even redder.
Su Mo then instructed him to head to the cave’s cellar to meet with Xu Lu.
When Hu Sandao heard Xu Lu had returned, he seemed pleasantly surprised, swiftly tidied his clothes, took his Golden Silk Ring Blade, and left.
He looked as though he couldn’t wait to disappear from before Su Mo and the others.
“This is what social death looks like, huh?”
Su Mo watched Hu Sandao’s vanishing figure.
Yang Xiaoyun: “???”
“Forget I said anything.”
Su Mo took Yang Xiaoyun’s hand: “Let’s go. We have people to kill.”
Tonight, in Tihu Village, Su Mo was determined that no one was to leave alive!
