Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 109: Chapter 105 Terrifying [3rd Update!]

Editor: Atlas Studios

Between the narrow alleys, there was a silent stillness.

Yet it was not for lack of people, but because those present chose not to speak.

Zuo Qiuyang lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to rise even momentarily.

The Black-clothed Man stood quietly there, his eyes seemingly oblivious to Zuo Qiuyang’s existence, simply gazing silently at Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled broadly, also silently watching the Black-clothed Man.

Finally, the silence was broken.

“Why are you here?”

The Black-clothed Man did not deny Su Mo’s words, but instead posed a question: “Shouldn’t you believe that he is already dead?”

“People like Alliance Leader Zuo cannot die so casually.”

Su Mo shook his head slightly: “In his own house, he pulled such stunts. At first, I thought he truly had another way out.

“But unexpectedly, upon our next meeting, he had already become a corpse.

“At first, I really thought that the Mystical display was just so he could die somewhat gracefully.

“But on second thought, something felt amiss.

“After all, smashing one’s own spiritual cranium could hardly be counted as dignified.

“And moreover, this deed is easy to execute—there was really no need for the earlier Mystical fanfare.

“He had the time to waste words with me, so how could he not have the time to leave a last will?

“The oddity of writing those characters—doesn’t that seem strange?”

By the time Su Mo reached this point, Zuo Qiuyang had already lowered his head.

He believed his feigned death and escape, akin to the golden cicada shedding its skin, should have been flawless.

Yet he hadn’t expected there to be such an obvious flaw.

“One could have easily died, yet instead went through such a farce—thus, I mused that this person must have other schemes.

“A man facing death still has schemes? What could those schemes entail…

“Of course, it’s survival.”

Su Mo gently shook his head: “Regarding this, I carefully observed the corpse and found that there indeed was a wound on the chest, but his fingers… were actually broken.”

Zuo Qiuyang looked at his own fingers, although injured, they were far from being broken, and he sighed:

“The time was too short, and your methods of pursuit caught me off guard, not giving enough time for meticulousness.”

“Is that also why, when Hua Qianyu invited you to see her, you declined?”

The Black-clothed Man looked leisurely at Su Mo: “Just, why did you not clarify this matter with them?”

“Hmm…”

Su Mo pondered for a moment: “First off, Wei Ziyi and Hua Qianyu have their designs on the Luofeng Alliance. Whether Alliance Leader Zuo would live or die in their grasp is highly uncertain. After all, the principle of valuing the rare is understood by all. My case is simpler; whoever kills me, I kill them. From the start to the end, I only hoped that Alliance Leader Zuo would reach Nirvana sooner, rather than continue suffering.”

“…Well, thank you very much for that.”

A twitch appeared at the corner of Zuo Qiuyang’s mouth, and in his anger and injury, he vomited another mouthful of blood.

Su Mo glanced at it, and slightly shook his head: “Secondly, if Alliance Leader Zuo had the ability to perform such an act before us, then naturally he would be confident enough to deceive our eyes. Even if he did not deceive our eyes, he would at least be able to hide very well. In that case, the outcome would be difficult to determine.

“Hua Qianyu’s subordinates might have time to dig three feet into the ground in that house searching for your tracks.

“But I think, to counter the plan with another, making you believe that you’ve escaped and ultimately come out voluntarily, isn’t that much easier?”

Zuo Qiuyang’s face could not be described as simply unsightly.

Today within the Zuo Residence, he only saw how deep Wei Ziyi’s schemes ran but never thought Su Mo was not simple either.

Supposedly just a straightforward brawler, how could he possess such intricate cunning?

“Is there more?”

The Black-clothed Man’s gaze was calm as he looked at Su Mo, almost encouragingly.

Su Mo looked at him strangely and finally said: “Lastly, judging from the actions of the senior along the way… if things come to an end, you will undoubtedly depart. Sword Master Yin Ye came to intercept the escort at night, and senior took away that assassin who wanted to kill and silence. Soon after, you followed us to Yuliu Manor…

“Within Yuliu Manor, the situation was treacherous, but senior always spied from the sidelines.

“Only after I pummeled to death the Vice Commander of the Blood Transformation Order, who was disguised as ’Liu Qingkong’, did you finally depart resolutely.

“As for the events within Xuanji Valley, there’s even less to say… until after emerging from Xuanji Cave, I could no longer feel senior stealthily observing.”

“…”

The Black-clothed Man fell silent for a moment, and Zuo Qiuyang’s gaze towards him was quirkily weird.

Does he have some sort of strange habit?

Why the need to secretly spy on others?

Yet the Black-clothed Man himself let out a wry smile: “So, you’ve always known? Since when?”

“Since the night of the Sword Master.”

Su Mo said: “Since senior appeared, I had to be more cautious.”

And a man like him, with two such experiences, how could he remain under observation without noticing?

“From what you say, that night within Yuliu Manor, when you specifically circled back to take Yang Xiaoyun away, your concern wasn’t that someone from the Youquan Sect might harm her, but rather that I would?”

The Black-clothed Man seemed contemplative.

“That’s only part of it… Since senior is unfathomable, I truly do not wish for her to bear this risk.”

The implication of Su Mo’s words was an admission.

The Black-clothed Man let out a gentle breath and suddenly smiled: “Very good, very good… Su Mo, you truly make me see you in a new light!”
