Chapter 266 - Bearded Man
Boom!
A deafening noise echoed.
Two long spears appeared in Meng Han’s hands and slammed heavily into the ground, causing the stone slabs to crack while sand and gravel flew everywhere.
He missed!
Looking at the huge pit that he had just smashed out in front of him, Meng Han was slightly dazed.
He maintained his original position, bent over with fists clenching air as if he was grabbing two long spears motionlessly.
He had lost.
Meng Han’s gaze dimmed gradually.
Boom!
The Golden Core exploded, emitting a destructive force that rippled in all directions!
A Golden Core formed the essence of a cultivator’s cultivation base.
The self-destruction of a Golden Core was equivalent to one releasing their entire lifetime’s worth of cultivation back into the universe – how terrifying was the might of that?
Even though Su Zimo was far away and was not in danger, he could still sense the terrifying aura that was emitted the moment the Golden Core self-destructed.
Under that sort of power, the first person to be destroyed was none other than Meng Han himself.
Instantly, his body evaporated into a bloodied mist with no corpse left!
Right after, the gigantic hammer was repelled by the power in the same direction it came from, except it was now much faster and stronger!
The eyes of the bearded man lit up as he heaved in a deep breath. Picking up another gigantic hammer, he struck the incoming hammer squarely.
Clang!
The two hammers collided!
A piercing sound erupted.
The bloodline of the bearded man surged as the muscles on his arms bulged up with veins that were like little snakes sticking to the surface of his skin. He had actually managed to receive the incoming hammer without staggering backwards with pure brute force!
Su Zimo nodded to himself.
This meant that the bearded man’s strength was far beyond Meng Han’s!
Furthermore, the methods of the bearded man clearly indicated that he was a Golden Core well-versed in body tempering techniques as well.
With a scoop, the bearded man received the hammer with his right hand and placed it into his storage bag.
Surveying his surroundings, he frowned at the sight of the messy courtyard.
Su Zimo walked over and cupped his fists. “Thank you for reaching in time and for saving me, sir.”
“It’s what I should do, it’s nothing much.”
The bearded man waved it off casually before cupping his fists back with a strong momentum. “I’m the commander of the Azure Falcon guards, Mu Dongqing. Greetings, Mr. Mo.”
Every action of the bearded man was sturdy and he wore his feelings on his sleeves – Su Zimo had a good impression of this man already.
Looking around, the bearded man’s gaze landed on Liang Qiu’s corpse.
Liang Qiu was already beaten beyond recognition by Su Zimo and his original appearance was completely unrecognizable by now.
Squatting down, the bearded man searched Liang Qiu’s body from head to toe but to no avail. He took down the latter’s storage bag and opened it before shaking his head.
The bearded man said, “That man earlier self-destructed without a corpse while this person has nothing on him. His storage bag is also filled with useless items and there’s nothing to prove his identity.”
Su Zimo smiled without replying.
This assassination attempt that made use of two Golden Cores nearing the end of their lifespans was clearly the result of meticulous planning.
Since the other party chose to conduct the assassination in the capital of Great Zhou, they must have made preparations to conceal their identities even if they failed.
However, the only place in the entire capital that bore enmity or even killing intent towards him and even had the capabilities to deploy two Golden Cores was there…
