Chapter 157: I Dare to Kill You!
Chapter 157: I Dare to Kill You!
In a certain brothel.
The place was littered with bodies.
These bodies included men and women, young and old.
In one of the rooms, a few young men with lecherous expressions each held women in disheveled clothing, while many more women cowered and served them nervously.
On the floor of the room, numerous bodies lay sprawled.
"Come, everyone, let’s drink to our heart’s content! I must say, while Guangyang Prefecture is rather ordinary, it certainly has no shortage of beautiful women and fine wine!"
One of the young men laughed wildly, his right hand delving into the clothing of the woman in his arms, gripping and squeezing her forcefully. The woman’s face contorted in pain, but she dared not make a sound.
Because anyone who had dared to speak had already become a silent corpse.
"Brother Jiang, if the Guangyang King were to investigate this, we might find ourselves in serious trouble," one of the young men said, his expression tinged with worry.
Jiang Mo sneered in disdain. "What’s there to fear from the Guangyang King? Once the Tianyang Sword Sect arrives, Gu Yang and his Gu Family Manor will be obliterated."
"Do you really think a mere Grandmaster can rule the world unchallenged?"
"This world ultimately belongs to our immortal sects. A Grandmaster is nothing but a ripple in the ocean."
"Besides, as disciples of the Taosu Sect, why should we fear a mere martial force?"
"The Gu Family Manor has already offended the Tianyang Sword Sect. Do you think they have the guts to offend our Taosu Sect as well?"
Jiang Mo’s face was a picture of arrogance, and his words showed no respect for the Guangyang King or the Gu Family Manor. After all, in his eyes, the so-called Guangyang King and Gu Family Manor were nothing compared to an immortal sect.
Not just the Guangyang King.
Even during the peak of the ancient Tai Xuan Dynasty, they had to treat the immortal sects with utmost respect, fearing even the slightest offense.
After all, the power behind any dynasty was always the immortal sects.
The rise and fall of dynasties were all under their control.
This was the source of Jiang Mo’s confidence.
However, before he could finish his words, the door to the room was suddenly shattered, silencing the cacophony inside.
Gu Yi stepped in slowly.
He glanced at the bodies on the floor, and his already cold expression grew even icier.
At that moment, the Taosu Sect disciples’ faces twisted in anger, and one of them shouted, "Who are you to dare cause trouble on the Taosu Sect’s territory—"
Before he could finish his sentence, a flash of a blade cut through the air, and the young man’s head rolled off his neck, followed by a gush of blood that splattered onto those around him.
"This is Guangyang Prefecture, not the Taosu Sect’s territory!"
After slaying the Taosu Sect disciple, Gu Yi spoke calmly, his expression never wavering. To him, killing a man was as easy as squashing an ant.
"By the order of the Guangyang King, any who stir up chaos shall be punished with death!"
Only then did Jiang Mo and the others realize what was happening.
Jiang Mo’s eyes widened in shock, but more so in fury.
"I am an inner disciple of the Taosu Sect, and my father is an elder. If you kneel and cut off your own arms now, I might spare your dog life.
"Otherwise, I will make you beg for death, but I won’t grant it to you!"
Jiang Mo, the son of a revered elder of an immortal sect, was used to his authority being respected. The audacity of someone defying him now only fueled his anger.
Jiang Mo had already made up his mind about how he would torture Gu Yi after the latter severed his own arms.
Unfortunately for him, Gu Yi didn't say a word. Instead, he responded with a flash of his blade.
The moment the blade struck, Jiang Mo felt as if he were being watched by some terrifying presence. Without a second thought, he immediately yanked a nearby person in front of him.
At the same time, he crashed through the room and dashed outside.
In that instant, the blade descended, splitting a Taosu Sect disciple in two.
Gu Yi didn't immediately chase after Jiang Mo. Instead, he struck again, slaughtering the remaining Taosu Sect disciples on the spot.
As the evil spirits within the bodies began to revive, Gu Yi ordered the reinforcements to subdue them all.
After dealing with this, Gu Yi looked at the few women huddled in the corner, trembling with fear, and then stepped through the broken wall, heading outside.
Outside the room, the street was already bustling. Jiang Mo, who had fled earlier, had already been captured by the Dark Guards. Many civilians and others had gathered to watch the scene.
Jiang Mo struggled wildly, shouting, "My father is Elder Jiang Shidao of the Taosu Sect! Who dares to kill me?!"
"I dare!"
Gu Yi's expression was cold as he drew his longsword and swiftly beheaded Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo's face was filled with shock, clearly not expecting Gu Yi to dare kill him even after learning his identity.
This scene left the onlookers in shock.
"Jiang Mo is dead!"
"Hiss, doesn't the Guangyang King fear offending the Taosu Sect?"
"Publicly slaying a disciple of an immortal sect, the Guangyang King has sealed his own fate!"
"This will surely lead to a dramatic confrontation. I heard that the powerful figure sent by the Taosu Sect to Guangyang City is none other than Jiang Shidao. With his son brutally killed by the Dark Guards, he won't be able to sit still."
"True, but the Dark Guards are quite formidable, with several innate grandmasters among them."
"Hmph, no matter how many innate grandmasters they have, offending an immortal sect means certain death, even for a grandmaster—"
Many people from various factions were secretly discussing, looking at Gu Yi and the Dark Guards as if they were already dead.
In their eyes, by killing Jiang Mo and offending an immortal sect, not only would Gu Yi face certain death, but even the Guangyang King, who backed him, would be implicated.
These people took a certain pleasure in this.
Even though many factions weren't at odds with the Taosu Sect, they still hoped to see the Dark Guards' tragic end.
After all, when had it ever come to a point where a martial artist could publicly execute a sorcerer?
Gu Yi wasn't just cutting off Jiang Mo's head; he was also severing the pride of the sorcerers.
At that moment, with Jiang Mo dead, the evil spirit within his body began to revive.
The Dark Guards were prepared for this, immediately sealing the newly revived evil spirit in a golden coffin.
"Boom—"
As the Dark Guards sealed the evil spirit, a terrifying aura erupted, and a black-robed elder appeared, stepping through the air.
The eerie, cold aura spread, causing the temperature to drop sharply.
Upon seeing Jiang Mo's corpse, the black-robed elder's eyes turned blood red. He glared at Gu Yi, his face contorted with murderous intent.
"Who dares to harm my son? I will flay you alive, extract your tendons, and torture you to death, bit by bit!"
