Chapter 19: Vengeful Spirit
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the other side of things, two jailers were moving Su Mu’s body in the dark.
The smaller-sized leader led the way in front, so he didn’t have to do the physical work.
Along the way, the three of them chatted and took some time off.
“How many times has the second young master of Mr. Liu’s family committed a crime?”
“Hey! He was born with a silver spoon, were you? It’s better to just keep your head down and do your work!”
“What are you saying? Can’t I get myself a silver spoon for my kids? Maybe I’ll be rich one day!”
“You? Why don’t you take a look at your own weight…”
“Alright, stop talking. After this, let’s go blow some steam in the brothel, and I’ll pay for this. ”
“Woof! Brother Guo is so generous! I… Wait, where’s the head of this corpse? Where’s the head?”
“Eh? Yes, where did the head go… Ah!”
…
As they were chatting, the two people behind them suddenly screamed.
The jailer turned around and almost peed his pants!
The headless corpse actually moved!
A bone claw pierced through a head, and two claws directly killed the two jailers who were carrying him.
“Ghost! A ghost!”
The head jailer screamed in fear and scrambled to escape.
However, he had only taken a few steps when a blood-red skeleton suddenly appeared in front of him.
The distance between the two was too close, and he was running too fast.
He could not stop in time and directly crashed into it!
The red skeleton did not move an inch after being hit.
From a distance, a red skull flew over. He grabbed it in his hand and pressed it against his neck.
With that, a complete skeleton was pieced together.
This scene scared the hell out of the jailer.
He looked at Su Mu, who had turned into a bloody skeleton, with a dull expression. His crotch was wet, and a foul smell filled the air.
This time, Su Mu didn’t want to waste any more time with him.
With a wave of his hand, his neck shattered, and he was killed in an instant.
Within a few breaths, Su Mu had killed all of the jailers.
This was just the beginning of his plan.
…
The world was a vast place.
There were countless experts about!
It would not be easy to save Xu Congwu’s family.
If Su Mu had directly broken into the prison and rescued Xu Congwu, it would have caused a huge commotion and he would not have been able to leave Yanjing.
Therefore, Su Mu had to come up with a plan.
He deliberately played along with the executioner and became a “dead man” after being beheaded.
In this way, even if they investigated further after the incident, they would not be able to trace it back to him, a ‘dead man’, for a while.
If it wasn’t for Su Mu’s cooperation, how could a third-rate warrior cut his neck?
He had used one of his heads to warn the executioner to make him behave.
Su Mu felt that he seemed to have noticed something, and if he didn’t scare him, he might go out and say something.
Now, the first step of the plan had been completed.
The next step was to break into the prison.
…
A gust of chilly wind blew past, and Su Mu disappeared from his original spot.
He melded into the darkness and quickly made his way to the death cell where Xu Congwu was locked up.
The prison was located in the northern corner of the city. It was rather remote.
The prison was guarded by a first-rate warrior and a few second-rate warriors beneath him.
Su Mu was not concerned about the second-rates.
So, when he returned to the prison in the north of the city, he went straight to the head warden.
In a rather luxurious room, a burly man was sleeping soundly on the bed.
The table at the side was scattered with delicious food.
Suddenly, his facial muscles twitched, and he opened his eyes.
“Who’s there!”
Warden Zuo Mingcheng shouted with a nervous expression.
An extremely strong sense of danger woke him up from his sleep!
He looked left and right, but there was no one.
However, the sense of danger in Zuo Mingcheng’s heart did not fade. It only grew stronger!
“Dammit! What’s going on?”
Cold sweat dripped down Zuo Mingcheng’s forehead.
His entire body tensed up. He did not dare to relax. He was ready to strike at the enemy hidden in the darkness at any given moment.
…
If he had reached the level of a first-rate warrior, Zuo Mingcheng was naturally not some good-for-nothing.
However, the opponent he was going to face today was unusual!
The candlelight flickered slightly.
All of a sudden, a blood-red skeleton appeared behind Zuo Mingcheng. It hung upside down, and it aimed its two boney hands at both sides of his waist!
Su Mu’s appearance was too sudden.
He had been silent until the moment he appeared.
Even a first-rate warrior could not react in time!
“Ah!”
With a scream, ten blood-colored bone claws that looked like short knives stabbed into the two sides of Zuo Mingcheng’s waist.
Zuo Mingcheng was in extreme pain after suffering such a heavy injury, but he was not going down without a fight.
His eyes were bloodshot as he roared and swung a punch!
This punch landed on Su Mu’s chest.
However, before he was hit, his ribs retracted to the sides, opening up his chest and avoiding the attack like flowing water.
“What the hell is this?”
This scene left Zuo Mingcheng dumbstruck and extremely shocked.
However, what happened next was even stranger!
Without waiting for him to retract his fist, the ribs stabbed into his outstretched forearm.
They grew like vines and climbed up Zuo Mingcheng’s arm to his body.
Zuo Mingcheng felt his hair stand on end, and he tried to pull his arm out while enduring the pain in his waist.
Escape!
He had to escape this!
This damn thing was clearly not something he could deal with.
He had to quickly call the people from the demon suppressing division!
However, just as Zuo Mingcheng was about to withdraw his arm, a bone-cracking sound that made one’s teeth ache came from his arm!
For some unknown reason, the bones in his arm had actually twisted randomly, forming a pretzel!
Zuo Mingcheng couldn’t bear the pain anymore and let out a shrill scream.
However, his pain did not last long.
The heavy injury on his arm had caused Zuo Mingcheng’s spirit, Qi, and soul to collapse, and he had lost the internal defense of his body.
The ten bone claws that had pierced into his waist spread out wildly and soon destroyed all of his internal organs.
Those bone daggers that had crawled up his body from his arms had also pierced into his vital parts, one by one.
The light in Zuo Mingcheng’s eyes quickly dissipated.
After that, his aura vanished!
In less than ten seconds, Su Mu had killed a first-rate warrior with ease.
The other party didn’t even put up any decent resistance. He had only attempted a punch.
After this battle, Su Mu gained a rough understanding of his own strength.
However, he was not satisfied. All the while, he remembered the power of the Daoist Qingxu!
“I wonder if the characters in the simulated world really existed.
“If there’s really a person named Qingxu, and he’s still alive, I wonder how powerful he is…”
Su Mu was a little surprised.
At the same time, Zuo Mingcheng’s screams attracted the attention of the other wardens in the death cell.
Su Mu didn’t say another word and immediately started killing.
None of the jailers in this death cell were good people!
All of them were ruthless officials!
They were the minions of some big shot!
Killing them was doing the world a favor.
Perhaps he could even accumulate some Yin virtue.
