Chapter 142: Reappearance of the Bloody Skeleton, Killing the Executioner
Su Mu took the opportunity to continue the conversation.
He pretended to be shocked and lowered his voice, asking the three people beside him,
“Could it be that the higher-ups have some secret plan? Are you going to make a move on the state preceptor?”
Hearing this, the old drunkard’s expression turned solemn and he said in a low voice,”
“Watch your words! This matter was still under investigation, so he couldn’t jump to conclusions.”
“Although the River-breaking Bladesmanship was created by a senior of the Demon Suppression Bureau, it has been leaked out occasionally over the years. Some outsiders also know this bladesmanship.”
“It’s not that the person who used the River-Breaking Saber Technique was a monster slayer, and there’s no name written on the corpse!”
Yuan Qinhu frowned and pulled his beard.
“That may be the case, but that’s a martial artist at the grandmaster level! There were not many martial artists of this level in the Imperial City either.”
“A martial arts grandmaster who also knows the River-Breaking Saber Technique. It’s hard not to think of our Demon Suppression Division.”
Mengyao added,
“Have you thought about it? The giant demon we saw in the last mission is very similar to a country…That one.”
“In the end, not long after he returned, one of his Tranquil Peace Zhai was overturned. Could it be that the higher-ups are taking revenge?”
Yuan Qinhu nodded and said,”
“That’s possible. However, if the Demon Suppression Bureau really fell out with that person, it would probably be a big deal!”
“The entire Imperial City will not be at peace!”
Mengyao said worriedly,
“Not just restless? I’m afraid something big is going to happen!”
..
Seeing the two of them so worried, the old drunkard raised his head and took a sip of wine. A casual smile appeared on his face again.
“I’m telling you all this because I want you to pay attention to your safety and stay away from Tranquil Peace Temple.”
“As for the rest, it’s not something that we, the Demon Slayers, can consider. Just patrol the streets obediently.”
“In this life, I’m free and unfettered, and everything flows eastward since ancient times.”
“Live one day, one day. Hahaha!”
The old drunkard laughed and walked forward, no longer discussing the matter.
However, Yuan Qinhu and Mengyao were still worried.
Seeing this, Su Mu lowered his voice and asked them:
“Tell me, if it was really done by our Demon Suppression Division, which big shot would it be?”
Yuan Qinhu thought for a moment and said,”
“If I had to guess, I think it might be Tyrannical Blade Cheng Gang.”
“He’s an Earth-ranked Demon Slayer. He’s at the early-stage of the Zongshi realm and specializes in saber techniques.”
“Also, he’s about to advance!”
“After accumulating another two to three years of experience and credit, I’ll be able to become a heaven-tier demon slayer!”
As he spoke, Yuan Qinhu revealed an envious expression.
The current Demon Suppression Bureau was different from a few decades ago.
The current Heaven-tier Demon Slayer was far less valuable than before.
But no matter what, the Heaven-tier Demon Slayer was definitely a high-ranking member of the Demon Suppression Bureau!
“Brother Yuan, can you tell me about that Tyrannical Saber Cheng Gang? I’ve never seen an expert of this level.”
A harmless smile appeared on Su Mu’s face, as if he was very curious about this expert from the Demon Suppression Bureau, and even had a slightly worshipful expression.
Seeing this, Yuan Qinhu began to explain in detail.
“This Earth-ranked Demon Slayer is at the early Zongshi realm, and there’s still room for improvement. He was nicknamed the Tyrannical Blade of the Great Xia! It’s said that…”
Su Mu listened carefully, memorizing some of Cheng Gang’s characteristics.
The next time she went to find trouble with the state preceptor, she could lean in his direction.
..
After Yuan Qinhu finished speaking, Su Mu pretended to ask casually:
“By the way, why haven’t I seen the executioner who caused trouble for us last time?”
Hearing this, Yuan Qinhu’s face darkened and he said coldly,”
“Are you talking about Cao Bin? Humph! None of the executioners are good!”
“A few days ago, there was a demon slayer who did not do his job well and was caught by them. These two days, they have been busy looting his house!”
“This bunch of dogs, if I can cultivate to Grandmaster, I’ll be the first to smack them to death!”
Yuan Qinhu was furious. It was obvious that he had been troubled by the executioner many times.
Not only him, but the middle and lower-level Demon Slayers in the Demon Suppression Bureau also hated the executioners.
He wished he could kill him!
Of course, Yuan Qinhu was only saying this out of anger.
Although he was a Xiantian warrior, his cultivation had not improved for several years. It was a question whether he could advance to a martial arts grandmaster in this lifetime.
Secondly, even if he successfully became a Grandmaster, Yuan Qinhu wouldn’t be able to do anything to the Executioners.
These wolves were quite strong, and the one standing behind them was the commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Division!
Su Mu even suspected that the executioner was a method used by Zhuge Hongtu to control the Demon Suppression Bureau.
“Cao Bin…”
Su Mu silently noted down the name of that officer.
His next target was him!
..
The few of them chatted while casually patrolling for a while.
Nothing happened along the way, so they went home to sleep.
For the next few days, the Imperial City was silent.
There was no conflict between the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Imperial Advisor, as if nothing had happened.
However, Su Mu could vaguely feel that the atmosphere in the Demon Suppression Bureau had become a little more solemn.
Especially the higher-ups. There was a hint of worry in the depths of their eyes, as if they were worried about something.
Su Mu didn’t expect that they would fight to the death like this.
The plan had just begun!
After a few days, he had a clear understanding of Cao Bin’s information and routine.
It was almost time to make a move!
※※※
Three days later, Yan Chunlou.
Cao Bin was surrounded by a group of birds, enjoying themselves.
The Swallow Spring Brothel was a well-known money-squandering den in the Imperial City.
Here, there was delicious food, fine wine, and even beauties!
A few days ago, Cao Bin and the other executioners sent a demon slayer to prison and raided his house.
His pockets bulged. Today, he would come here together to enjoy himself!
“Brothers, you guys drink. I can’t take it anymore and I’m going to rest.”
Including Cao Bin, there were a total of four people.
After drinking another glass of wine, Cao Bin stood up and hugged the two beautiful women beside him.
Hearing this, the other three executioners revealed wretched smiles and only let Cao Bin go after teasing him for a while.
With the help of the two beauties, Cao Bin staggered upstairs to the private room.
Along the way, her hands were not obedient and were touching everywhere.
He was a little impatient.
What Cao Bin did not know was that what he was about to face next was death!
..
After the three of them entered the room, Cao Bin lay on the bed and closed his eyes as he waited for the two beauties to serve him.
However, there was still no movement.
Just as he was feeling a little impatient, he finally noticed someone approaching him.
Cao Bin stretched out his hand to grab the person and said with a lewd smile,
“How dare you make me wait for so long? I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed tonight!”
After saying that, Cao Bin grabbed the person, but he felt that something was wrong.
This feeling…Why was it so annoying?
No matter how skinny a beauty was, she shouldn’t be so thin, right?
Cao Bin, who sensed that something was wrong, suddenly opened his eyes. His expression changed drastically after he swept a glance ahead!
How could he have caught a beauty?
It was clearly a ferocious blood-red skeleton demon!
Cao Bin was scared out of his wits by this scene. His body reeked of alcohol and broke out in cold sweat.
He instantly became much more clear-headed.
But it was too late!
A sharp pain spread from his arm to his chest, and at the same time, there was a bone-cracking sound!
The bones in Cao Bin’s arm were twisted into a twisted shape, and this distortion spread all the way to the bones in his chest!
This lecher was instantly fatally injured!
..
This blood-colored skeleton demon was naturally Su Mu.
In fact, Cao Bin’s strength was not weak. He was a Xiantian Realm martial artist!
In fact, every executioner was not weak. Otherwise, they would not have caught the attention of the commander-in-chief.
However, Cao Bin had been absent from the battlefield for a long time and had been addicted to wine and women for a long time.
Under normal circumstances, a person could only display thirty to fifty percent of their combat power at most.
His current state was extremely relaxed.
Su Mu had already walked to his side, but he still hadn’t noticed.
It was truly ridiculous!
The funniest thing was that Cao Bin actually took the initiative to touch Su Mu.
One must know that the Blood Fiend Skeleton’s bone control ability could only be used to its full potential after it came into contact with the target.
Cao Bin was basically running into his gun!
After being grabbed by him, Su Mu immediately used the Bone Control ability of the Blood Fiend Skeleton.
In an instant, all the bones in the upper half of the person’s body were destroyed!
Under the heavy injury, Cao Bin’s face was full of fear and pain. His mouth was wide open as if he was about to scream.
But before he could make a sound, Su Mu stretched out a bone claw and stabbed it into his stomach along his throat.
Then, the bone claw split into countless bone spikes that exploded at the same time, piercing into every part of his body!
“Wuwuwu! Wuwuwu!”
Cao Bin’s eyes bulged and blood flowed out of his seven orifices as he knelt in front of Su Mu.
He whimpered, unable to make a sound. His entire body was twitching violently.
Very soon, Cao Bin’s entire body fell to the ground like a pile of mud, without the slightest breath!
All the bones in his body had been sucked away by Su Mu.
Without the bones, it would naturally look like this.
..
After killing Cao Bin, Su Mu planned to leave this place.
The Yanchun Restaurant was located in the most prosperous area of the Imperial City.
If he made a big commotion, he might attract some experts. Although he was not afraid, it might affect his plan.
It added to the trouble.
But just as Su Mu was about to leave, the door was suddenly pushed open.
“Brother Cao, let’s play together tonight. I…”
An executioner who came with Cao Bin had two beauties in his arms, and another followed behind him.
He barged in just like that!
After entering, this person was dumbfounded.
What did he see?
The two women that Cao Bin had taken away fainted on the ground.
As for Cao Bin himself, he was like a pile of mud.
Not only did he lose his vitality, but he also lost his human appearance!
Standing next to Cao Bin’s corpse was a skeleton demon with a blood-red body and a terrifying aura!
This scene was extremely horrifying!
The executioner reacted extremely quickly and woke up in less than one-fifth of a breath.
He grabbed the two women beside him and threw them at Su Mu, simultaneously shouting and retreating!
However, Su Mu had always been a hospitable person, so how could he just let someone visit him?
This was too rude.
He had to stay and entertain him properly!
