"Ah!"
The remaining Scarlet Vulture guard hollered and a vicious glint flashed through his eyes.
Given how Su Zimo had attacked Just Now, there was no way he could escape at this distance!
His only hope of survival was to exchange a few more rounds with Su Zimo and wait for reinforcements from the other Scarlet Vulture and White Hawk guards.
In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo had already closed in.
The dagger-axe in the Scarlet Vulture guard's hands shone brightly as he channeled strength with both arms. The dagger-axe trembled and drew a semicircle in midair, piercing towards Su Zimo with a chilling intent.
Spirit energy surged and a spirit energy storm seemed to have formed around the dagger-axe with a terrifying might!
Su Zimo's expression was unchanged as he reached out with his palm and grabbed the incoming dagger-axe in a seemingly effortless manner. Curl and tremble!
The spirit energy storm around the dagger-axe dissipated instantly.
Buzz!
The dagger-axe trembled violently and the Scarlet Vulture guard could not hold on to it any longer. His palm split open and he cried out in pain as his palm was already drenched in blood.
Right in front of countless gazes, the moment the two sides made contact, the Scarlet Vulture guard's weapon was already snatched away by this unknown green-robed cultivator!
Everyone's eyeballs nearly popped out. He was only at late-stage Foundation Establishment but he was able to withstand a spirit weapon with his body and not lose?
Just how strong was this person's physique?
Su Zimo's gaze was cold as he gripped the dagger-axe that he had snatched and stabbed in reverse, flicking it upwards!
Poof!
Blood flashed.
The throat of the Scarlet Vulture guard was pierced instantly and his eyes dimmed as he fell to the ground with a thud.
When everyone saw that, they were shocked and their mouths were agape, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The situation had changed too quickly and even now, many people could not react in time.
It had only been more than ten breaths since Su Zimo attacked but four people were already dead on the spot!
If it was said that Su Zimo killing two cultivators from True Fire Elixir Workshop was already shocking enough.
Later on, he'd made a decisive move and domineeringly suppressed two Crimson Vulture guards, and it had already caused everyone to be astounded!
"Decisive in killing. It's been a long time since I've seen such a ruthless cultivator." In the crowd, an old man secretly clicked his tongue and sighed with emotion.
"Hmph, so what if you're decisive in killing? In the end, you're still a dead man."
"That's right. If this person had only killed the disciples of True Fire Elixir Workshop, he might still have a chance to live. However, Just Now, he even killed the Scarlet Vulture guards. This is equivalent to openly challenging the royal family's authority!"
While the crowd was discussing, their gazes were always on Su Zimo. Their minds were tense, afraid that he would rush into the crowd and kill wantonly.
After all, in everyone's eyes, Su Zimo was already a dead man.
Since he knew that he was going to die, it was normal for him to kill a few more of them.
Unexpectedly, after Su Zimo killed four people in a row, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His expression was indifferent, and he did not take any other drastic actions.
When he saw that the Scarlet Vulture and White Hawk guards had already arrived and were gradually surrounding him, Su Zimo did not escape either, as though he had given up.
However, what puzzled everyone was that they could not see any hint of panic or fear in Su Zimo's eyes. They were like an ancient well, deep and dark without any ripples.
At that moment, the green-robed cultivator standing beside the four corpses seemed to have turned into a mystery.
Nobody could see through him.
Initially, everyone was caught off guard when he attacked.
Eventually, everyone was puzzled by his calmness.
Suddenly, an old man said in a deep voice, "Actually, that green-robed cultivator … does have a chance of survival."
"What do you mean?" Someone asked.
The old man said, "Did you guys notice? Strictly speaking, it's not that person's fault. He Xing was the one who attacked first! From that perspective, although that person's actions were extreme, there's a reasonable explanation. "
Even though killing was not allowed in the capital, if someone attacked another person, the latter could not possibly stay on the spot and allow the other party to slaughter them. They could definitely retaliate.
The old man's meaning was simple. If everything was based on the premise that He Xing attacked Su Zimo first, then Su Zimo's actions later on could be considered as legitimate retaliation.
"That's useless. That person is bound to die."
"That's right. Even if he's in the right, he's facing two major factions, True Fire Sect and the Scarlet Vulture guards. What kind of status does he have to go against those two factions?"
"Unless that person's status is so high that even the Emperor of Great Zhou has to give him face, he's definitely going to die!"
Not far away, Su Xiaoning had just snapped out of her shock and was about to run towards Su Zimo when she paused.
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes with a sharp gaze and shook his head without a trace.
The current situation was complicated and unclear. He was not sure what the outcome would be either.
Given the circumstances, Su Zimo did not want Xiaoning to be embroiled in it.
The siblings had a telepathic connection and Xiaoning understood. Although she did not head forward, her eyes were filled with worry.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Before long, the Scarlet Vulture and White Hawk guards closest to the place had arrived. Looking at the few corpses on the ground, many of them had cold expressions and looked at Su Zimo with endless killing intent.
"What's going on?"
Right at this moment, a cold and gloomy voice slowly sounded.
Under everyone's gazes, a figure flew over with lightning speed without anything beneath his feet. In the blink of an eye, he was already in midair and hovered in midair.
Perfected Jin Dan!
The person wore scarlet robes and was bald without eyebrows. His aura was cold and his gaze was as sharp as an eagle's.
"Greetings, commander!"
In midair, many Scarlet Vulture guards shouted in unison.
The person who had arrived was the commander of the Scarlet Vulture guards, known as Vulture. He was ruthless and had a violent temperament.
Vulture had a unique set of tortures and any cultivator who fell into his hands would suffer a fate worse than death!
It was said that there was a cultivator who offended Vulture previously and was tortured for an entire month. He had a mental breakdown and went completely insane before finally dying of a thousand cuts in a tragic manner.
There was a saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty – one would rather commit suicide than fall into the hands of Vulture!
Right after Vulture arrived, another figure descended as well. She wore white robes that were spotless and had extraordinary looks. With a long sword by her waist, she was graceful.
"Greetings, commander!"
When they saw that person, the White Hawk guards in midair cupped their fists and nodded.
The White Hawk guards were all female cultivators and their voices were crisp, attracting everyone's attention.
The person who had arrived was the commander of the White Hawk guards, Bai Yuhan.
As the sect competition approached, there were two guards patrolling the capital daily while the other guard rested – it was a rotation.
Today, the guards patrolling the capital were the Scarlet Vulture and White Hawk guards. Right now, the commanders of both guards had arrived.
Looking at the four corpses on the ground, Bai Yuhan frowned slightly and scanned Su Zimo before shaking her head.
In Bai Yuhan's opinion, this green-robed cultivator was unfamiliar and did not have a sect badge on his waist – he was most likely an itinerant cultivator.
From the looks of it, this person's fate was already set.
