Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 24 - Assassination

In Su Mo's eyes, Wu Chengfeng's actions were simply nonsensical.

Matters like forming in-laws or cancellation of a wedding are serious issues, how could they default to a few moves in a scuffle for resolution?

What's most important is, even if Su Mo doesn't much approve of this marriage, if he were to call it off, it should be of his own volition, before he would proceed to do so.

Rather than being compelled by someone else's coercion, or under a betting fight.

This is not just disrespectful towards Yang Xiaoyun, it's also an underestimation of him, Su Mo.

"The son of the Deputy City Lord of Luoxia City, why does he seem like a brash youngster completely devoid of schemes?

"No wonder he's only capable of persistent badgering, annoyingly so."

He headed towards Ziyang Escort Agency, all the while lightly shaking his head.

From his conversation with Yang Xiaoyun today, it has become clear that the Iron Blood Escort Agency has now been implicated in the internal conflict of the Luofeng Alliance.

Becoming a key factor.

Some intend to make moves using the connections of Yang Yi from Iron Blood Escort Agency, as he travels eastward, while others aim to exploit Yang Xiaoyun as a breakthrough point.

This obtuse Wu Chengfeng is probably being used as a pawn without realizing it.

"Hopefully this will make him retreat, knowing his difficulty... solve a problem for me, and also let Yang Xiaoyun catch a breath."

Just as he was thinking to continue forward, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

In order to avoid Wu Chengfeng's entanglement, he had intentionally used his Inner Strength to send him flying into the restaurant, while he himself turned into an alley headed towards Ziyang Escort Agency.

At this moment, the narrow alley was deserted, not a person in sight, yet there was an aura of grave killing intent.

As he looked up, he saw two black clothed men descend from above, each with a Short Blade aiming straight for the crown of the head.

Their strikes were lethal!

A flash of murderous intent appeared in Su Mo's eyes, and in the flip of a hand, the Great Opening Sun Dispersal Hand was unleashed accordingly. His palm sliced through the blades of the two men but suddenly gripped their wrists firmly.

With the surge of Inner Strength, two snapping sounds were heard - both wrists were crushed by Su Mo.

These two black clothed men, their origins unknown, harbored determined intent to kill.

Even so, with their wrists crushed, they did not even utter a groan. Their other hands proceeded to grab and continue their stabs with the blades.

But a massive force suddenly enveloped them. While they were still upside down in midair, they were flung by Su Mo, each slamming loudly against the walls of the narrow alley.

This impact left them completely disoriented, feeling their insides burning furiously.

However, before they could regather their composure, Su Mo's palms had already struck, burying these two men's heads into the wall.

Their bones shattered, they died on the spot.

Yet, this wave of assassination attempts did not end there. After killing these two, Su Mo did not pause. He leapt up with a push from his feet, perfectly dodging two Short Blades stabbing from behind.

While in midair, a punch thundered out.

A black clothed man bore the brunt of it. The force penetrated his internal organs. Staggering forward, he spat a large mouthful of fresh blood, which not only drenched his mask but also splattered with fragments of his organs.

The other black clothed man, seeing his attack miss, wished to flee a great distance.

But before he could engage his Qinggong, he felt his neck tighten; an overwhelming force crushed down, and with a loud thud, he was smashed to the ground.

Following that, the sounds of bones cracking and snapping rang out. Extreme pain pierced from his limbs into his heart. As he turned his head within that moment, his limbs were already twisted and broken by Su Mo.

Simultaneously, his head felt heavy, pinned under Su Mo's foot.

Bending down, Su Mo removed the man's mask, his eyebrows lightly raising.

Beneath the mask was a face riddled with scars, its appearance long since ruined.

"Damn, how ruthless can one be to oneself?"

Su Mo exerted force on his foot: "Open your mouth, let me take a look."

Upon hearing this, the man's eyes flashed with despair, but he clenched his mouth even tighter.

"Not possible, right?"

Su Mo was somewhat surprised. He applied more pressure with his foot, and the man's mouth involuntarily began to open slowly. Suddenly, a sharp object shot out of his mouth and pinned itself onto the opposite wall.

Su Mo inhaled a sharp breath, thought for a moment, then took out deer skin gloves from his bosom and put them on before carefully prying open the man's jaw to inspect.

He then found that not only was the black-clothed man's face covered with scars, destroying his original facial features.

Even his tongue was gone, with only a black pouch rigged with a mechanism, connected to his teeth.

This vicious device could be placed in the mouth when in use and removed when not needed.

At the right moment, upon opening the mouth, the mechanism would be triggered, and the hidden weapon stored inside the pouch could be forcefully launched out to take someone's life.

Had Su Mo not removed the man's mask and noticed his persistently clenched mouth, detecting something amiss, he might very well have been caught off guard.

"With the tongue cut off at the root, seems like he can't speak anymore."

Su Mo sighed and without further hesitation, struck the man dead with a palm.

With things having gotten to this point, these people's ruthlessness had been pushed to the extreme. Under such circumstances, it hardly mattered whether Su Mo had the means to torture for information or if the black-clothed man could write.

Even if both were possible... it's likely he would neither speak nor write anything.

Moreover, such death soldiers might have already ingested poison before departing, and if their mission was exposed and they couldn't return in time, it was possible they could die from the poison taking effect.

Rather than wasting time, it was better to end his life more swiftly.

However, after standing up, Su Mo felt wronged.

He was perfectly fine; why would these people come to kill him?

"Is it Wu Chengfeng seeking revenge?

"It doesn't seem like it...

"After leaving the Iron Blood Escort Agency, Wu Chengfeng was waiting for me at the door.

"In the time after I sent him flying with a shock, even if he had the chance to give such an order, these men would not have arrived so fast.

"If it's not him..."

Su Mo shifted his train of thought: "Then there are only two possibilities... One is that the group of people who were wiped out from the Yu Family tracked down my roots, so they wanted to kill me to erase any information related to the Mysterious Mechanism. But judging from the modus operandi of these assassins, it doesn't resemble the black-clothed men that appeared that night, not appearing to be from the same group.

"And since Yu Lingxin dared to lure these people out using the Mysterious Mechanism as bait, the planning behind it would surely be flawless without leaving traces; it would be difficult for this group to find any leads from that night.

"The other possibility is... that one who can't have sons?"

At this thought, Su Mo stood stunned for a moment but then furrowed his brows, looking in a certain direction: "Are you just going to leave like this?"

Previously, someone was hiding there.

However, that person's Concealing Breath technique was extremely good; only until these assassins suddenly appeared did that person let slip a hint of his presence.

Su Mo had pretended to be distracted just now to see if this person was also here to kill him.

If so, he would be able to capture that moment of opportunity, striking swiftly, and thus fall into Su Mo's hands.

But now...

"The storms of Jianghu never cease, so why are there so many troubles even after returning home?"

He sighed deeply and without further contemplation, headed straight back to the Ziyang Escort Agency.
