Chapter 425: Chapter 394 Threat_1

Regardless of the group of followers or his own clothing and demeanor, it’s apparent that the young man in the purple robe is no ordinary individual.

The villagers accompanying Xu Mu, although carefully selected by the village head, are after all, just ordinary people. Faced with the supremacy of the youth, they dared not to resist.

Now, upon seeing Xu Mu suddenly blocking the youth, they were all scared, frozen in place, unsure of how to react.

“How dare you block my path!”

The youth in the purple robe shouted angrily, swung his riding whip, and lashed out viciously at Xu Mu.

The whip tore through the air, making a crackling sound that revealed its formidable power. An ordinary person struck by such a whip would likely burst open on the spot.

This lash was aimed at Xu Mu’s face. The malicious intent of the youth in purple was patent.

Faced with this aggressive attack, Xu Mu stepped back half a step, ingeniously dodging it. He then smiled and spoke, “If you want to take something away, shouldn’t you at least give an explanation?”

“How dare a lowly commoner ask for an explanation from me!” the youth in the purple robe yelled angrily. “You lot, butcher him for me!”

A few armored soldiers leapt from their horses instantly. Drawing their blades with a clang, they surrounded Xu Mu.

The soldiers’ cold eyes showed no mercy as they swung their blades at Xu Mu.

At this, Xu Mu’s gaze turned icy. He didn’t want to cause trouble, but it seemed they were determined to end his life.

Since they were seeking death, he wouldn’t show them any courtesy either.

He took a step, dodged an incoming attack, and snatched a long knife from one of them in a swift move.

This series of actions was as fast as lightning. Before anyone had time to react, a full moon-like blade flashed across their eyes.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound of the blade slicing through flesh echoed. The soldiers who had surrounded Xu Mu clutched their throats and fell to the ground one by one.

Only then did the crowd react.

“What are you standing there for? Kill him, quickly!”

Fury and shock flashed in the youth’s eyes as he yelled loudly.

The armored soldiers were not driven by fear. Upon receiving the order, they all charged at Xu Mu. The charioted guards, however, seemed hesitant and fell behind a bit.

Since they’d already started fighting, Xu Mu was naturally not going to be polite. His blade moved so quickly that no one could see the gleam, and the soldiers who had just rushed up fell down one after another, their eyes wide open and blood spraying from their necks.

The guards who were half a step behind were scared stiff, standing still, their bodies shaking. They neither dared to go forward nor retreat.

“You’re quite daring, do you know who he is?”

The head of the guards shouted. However, he couldn’t conceal the fear in his eyes.

“You damned bastard, how dare you kill my people! I’ll skin you alive, shred your bones, and put all your family into slavery. The males will be exiled to the border, and the females will be lifelong whores!”

The youth in the purple robe seemed completely oblivious to the change in scenario, and continued threatening Xu Mu loudly.

The guard leader twitched his mouth and could only feel his mind buzzing.

He knew the young man was a direct descendant of a big family in the county city. He was famously arrogant and unreasonable, and it was only because he had offended someone from another elite family that he was sent to this small place.

He had thought the youth was just arrogant, but had never imagined that he was an imbecile.

Their most powerful fighters had been effortlessly wiped out by Xu Mu. The difference between them trying to deal with Xu Mu and committing suicide was minor.

In such a situation, they were virtually defenseless. He never would have thought that the young man would still dare to threaten others at this point.
