Chapter 280 - Two Commanders
“Ah!”
The remaining Scarlet Vulture guard let out a loud roar and a vicious light flashed through his eyes.
From the way Su Zimo attacked earlier on, there was no way he could escape at this distance!
The only shot he had at living was to contend with Su Zimo for a couple of rounds while waiting for the reinforcements of the other Scarlet Vulture and White Hawk guards.
In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo was already before him.
The dagger-axe in the hands of the Scarlet Vulture guard shone brightly. Exerting strength in both arms, it shook and the Scarlet Vulture guard drew a semicircle in midair, slicing towards Su Zimo with chilling intent.
Spirit energy surged and the dagger-axe seemed to have gathered a typhoon of spirit energy that was extremely terrifying!
Su Zimo’s expression remained unchanged as he extended his palm in a simple manner, welcoming the incoming dagger-axe without any perceivable force – a coil and a tremble like a tongue!
Before long, the Scarlet Vulture and White Hawk guards closest to the place arrived. Looking at the few corpses on the ground, most of the guards had cold expressions as their glared at Su Zimo with boundless killing intent.
“What’s going on?”
Right then, a cold and sinister voice was heard.
In front of everyone, a figure flew over with lightning speed and appeared in midair in the blink of an eye, standing upright in the air without anything beneath his feet.
It was a Golden Core!
The person wore scarlet robes and had a bald head. Carrying a cold aura, his gaze was sharp as an eagle’s.
“Greetings, commander!”
In midair, many Scarlet Vulture guards called out in unison.
The person who had arrived was the commander of the Scarlet Vulture guards, the man nicknamed ‘Bald Vulture’ with vicious methods and a violent temperament.
Bald Vulture had a unique set of torture that would ensure living hell for any cultivators that fell into his hands!
It was said that some cultivators who had offended Bald Vulture previously were tormented by it for an entire month until their minds broke down into insanity. Finally, they were killed bit by bit in a miserable manner without resting in peace.
There was a saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty that one would rather commit suicide than land in the hands of Bald Vulture!
Right after Bald Vulture arrived, another figure descended as well. Wearing a pure white shirt, the woman had extraordinary features as a long sword hung on her waist – she was graceful as a feather.
“Greetings, commander!”
Upon seeing this person, the numerous White Hawk guards in midair cupped their fists and bowed.
The White Hawk guards were all female cultivators. Now that they shouted in unison, their clear voices attracted the attention of everyone present.
The person who had arrived was the commander of the White Hawk guards, Bai Yuhan.
As the sect competition approached, the capital had two guard squads patrolling in daily shifts, leaving the other guard squad to rest before rotating.
The guard squads that were on patrol in the capital today were the Scarlet Vulture and White Hawk guards. Now, the two commanders of the squads had arrived.
As she looked at the four corpses on the ground, Bai Yuhan frowned slightly. Her gaze scanned Su Zimo before she shook her head.
To her, this green-robed cultivator was unfamiliar and did not carry a sect badge on his waist – it was highly likely that he was an itinerant cultivator from out of the capital.
If so, that person’s fate was already decided.
