Heaven Slaying Blade

No one expected Chu Mo to suddenly make a move at this moment.

Just a child, without much strength. Even if he were holding a fast-firing crossbow, these guards of the Prince's Mansion wouldn't take him seriously.

So, Chu Mo's strike was completely unexpected for everyone.

What surprised them even more was the speed of Chu Mo's strike!

It was so fast that they didn't even see what happened; the Prince's Mansion guard, a battle-hardened warrior, had already fallen.

It wasn't until the blood flowed from the guard's neck that the group of people from the Prince's Mansion snapped back to reality.

Watching the blood flow relentlessly from the neck of the fallen Prince's Mansion guard, forming a large pool quickly, even the air began to fill with the smell of blood. At this point, the group seemed to come back to life.

Suddenly, it was chaos!

Several guards from the Prince's Mansion rushed toward Chu Mo. Their eyes were filled with anger as they wielded their weapons, ready to attack Chu Mo.

"Stop!" The guard captain of the Prince's Mansion immediately shouted to halt the guards who wanted to rush at Chu Mo. Then, with a grim face, he walked toward the fallen guard, accompanied by a few others, including the deputy captain.

They turned the fallen guard's body over, and instantly, they all gasped, eyes filled with disbelief.

The guard's eyes were wide open, but he had already died, a look of disbelief still in his eyes. There was a bloodstain on his neck, though now covered by the massive flow of blood. However, the people present, with their rich experience, could still tell that Chu Mo's strike had directly severed the largest blood vessel in the guard's neck. It had also cut his windpipe.

He couldn't speak and instantly lost all combat ability, and the gushing blood almost instantly drained away all his life.

In this situation, even a god couldn't save him!

Chu Mo's strike seemed insignificant at first, but those who truly understood knew just how terrifying it was!

First, it was fast!

In the world of martial arts, speed is invincible.

His strike was so fast that none of the people present could react to it.

Then, it was ruthless!

A child, around ten years old, killed with such composure. And this strike was so ruthless, aimed directly to kill.

Finally, it was exquisite!

This point had already been mentioned. Even the battle-hardened guard captain and deputy captain couldn't claim to achieve such a level.

Combining these three points left everyone from the Prince's Mansion a bit stunned.

Chu Mo's strike was aimed at someone else; what if it was aimed at them? Could they dodge it?

Probably not!

This conclusion left everyone's hearts sinking slightly.

"Is it a coincidence?" They exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

They would rather believe it was a coincidence because otherwise, it would be too terrifying!

They all felt a chill run through their bodies, thinking that if Chu Mo's strike wasn't a coincidence, then the fact that the young prince Xia Jie was only left a eunuch... could mean this boy held back?

Is that possible?

Those who initially wanted to protect Chu Mo were all dumbfounded. They hadn't even reacted before Chu Mo had already killed someone.

How could such a young child be so wild?

In their minds, Chu Mo wasn't such a child, was he?

Behind him, Miao Yi Niang and Xu Fufu were completely stunned. They knew Chu Mo was bold, but not to this extent.

This is Yanhuang City!

The person he killed was a guard of the Prince's Mansion!

What now?

Miao Yi Niang was thoroughly flustered, knowing in her heart that this time the situation had completely blown up. Trying to cover it up was already impossible. In less than an hour, the entire Yanhuang City would hear of this.

Xu Fufu quietly slipped away. It wasn't that he was disloyal and wanted to run, but he was preparing to bring out his grandfather to handle the situation!

By this time, the people from the Prince's Mansion were utterly furious, having a brother die right under their noses.

They didn't think about whether the person deserved to die, only that this child was extremely vile!

Chu Mo remained calm; seeing Xu Fufu slipping away, he knew what he was up to. He didn't stop him because even if he wanted to, Xu Fufu wouldn't listen this time.

He just looked at the group of guards from the Prince's Mansion and simply said, "Is that enough? You people, any one of you, is the type to kill mercilessly. The murderous aura on you is no longer something formed on the battlefield. Actually, you all deserve to die."

"Little bastard, even if I risk punishment from the prince today, I will kill you!" One of the guards, who had the closest relationship with the deceased, swung his sword directly at Chu Mo.

Buzz!

The sword made a piercing sound as it swept through the void, the sound was extremely harsh!

It sliced directly toward Chu Mo's face!

No one stopped him!

The people from the Prince's Mansion all watched coldly.

Those who wanted to protect Chu Mo couldn't stop it even if they wanted to.

The guard charging at Chu Mo had a ferocious look in his eyes, as if he could already see the scene of this damn little thing's head being split in two by his blade.

That feeling must be exhilarating!

The guard's blood was boiling, and there was no other thought in his mind. He just wanted to kill Chu Mo!

Suddenly!

Chu Mo's body moved!

The blade in his hand described a very strange path in the void, then his body brushed past the body of the Prince's Mansion guard...

Afterward, Chu Mo stood there, still holding that blade in his hand.

Clang!

The body of the Prince's Mansion guard softened and collapsed to the ground. The blade in his hand fell onto the stone pavement, making a crisp sound.

The entire scene was deathly silent!

It was so quiet that it even felt a bit terrifying, you could hear a pin drop!

After killing this guard, Chu Mo did not pause and charged directly at the two guards' leaders.

Since he had already begun killing, there was no point in sparing them.

This group of guards from the Prince's Mansion had all committed unforgivable crimes. But once Chu Mo escaped Yanhuang City and embarked on the thousand-mile icy plain, by the time he returned, this group of people from the Prince's Mansion no longer had the ability to trouble him.

But this time was different. Chu Mo did not leave; history here suddenly took a turn.

Not leaving was already a change. Killing was even more of a change! In that case, let it be a service to rid the world of evil.

At this moment, the guards from the Prince's Mansion went completely berserk.

As Chu Mo charged toward them, the group also rushed directly toward Chu Mo.

The battle unfolded directly!

Miao Yi Niang didn't hesitate at all and rushed up directly to stand side by side with Chu Mo, ready to fight together.

The people on the other side who had originally intended to help Chu Mo never expected such a turn of events. Most of them were at a loss. Those who wanted to help were equally hesitant.

At this moment, Chu Mo shouted loudly, "Friends, don't worry about me, back off; this has nothing to do with you!"

While speaking, he casually slashed down a guard from the Prince's Mansion!

This show of strength scared everyone on the spot!

In their eyes, Chu Mo was like a monstrous being, a kid about ten years old, who had shown no extraordinary moves before. Even though he had that mysterious little girl by his side, people didn't see that as much.

Which family in Yanhuang City doesn't have a few of these kinds of beings?

So having such a mysterious girl by Chu Mo's side was nothing. What they couldn't accept was how this previously unremarkable child suddenly became so fierce!

These guards from the Prince's Mansion were almost all seasoned veterans from the battlefield. What kind of warriors hadn't they seen? But a freak like this kid was truly unheard of in their lifetimes. It was truly an eye-opener!

That thin, small figure dodged left and right in the crowd, and the blade in his hand had movements that were impossible to discern. No one knew which direction the blade would slash next, or at whom.

If one only thought that the child's knife skills were formidable and nothing else was worth mentioning, they would be gravely mistaken. One guard from the Prince's Mansion made this grave error.

Seizing a chance, he suddenly charged forward, using his elbow to ram viciously at Chu Mo's head!

This guard was a giant, extremely robust. Such a big fellow, with a full-force sidelong charge, could directly kill a person—or even a bull!

In this guard's mind, with his speed and strength, this kid could not possibly dodge!

In almost the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Chu Mo. Then, he adjusted his elbow's angle of attack. He directed his most massive and hardest elbow right at the spot above Chu Mo's ear!

That was the temple!

If the blow landed, this Prince's Mansion guard believed it could even shatter Chu Mo's head!

His eyes emitted a vicious light, as if he'd already seen the scene of this young boy's head exploding. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Little brat, you have no chance now!"

He shouted loudly, as his elbow was about to collide with the spot above Chu Mo's ear!

Off to the side, Miao Yi Niang's face was full of horror, and she exclaimed, "No!"

She thrust the sword in her hand frantically at the robust guard.

But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst!

Her thrust was already too late!

Instead, because she was distracted, a guard from the Prince's Mansion inflicted a deep wound on her.

Blood immediately flowed out, staining her clothes red. But it seemed as though Miao Yi Niang didn't feel a thing, and she continued to rush frantically forward.

The hearts of those watching from afar tightened at this moment.

A steward from a noble family shouted loudly, "Stop!"

At times like this, a steward from a noble family, or even Prince Xia Jing himself, might not have been able to intervene in time.

For the guard's speed in attack was truly too fast!

And too ruthless!
