Chapter 859: Chapter 455: You Don’t Regret Your Sins—You Know You’re Going to Die!
Outside the governor mansion’s gate on the street.
A group of routed soldiers ran crying out for their parents.
At the street entrance appeared the silhouette of Su Juxia.
A squad of house servants under the Prefectural Governor hastily shot arrows at this figure from atop the wall.
The arrows, however, were caught effortlessly by Su Juxia with one hand.
And then he shot them back as he walked.
Instantly, the house servants on the wall were all hit and fell off from it.
Over a dozen guards watching the governor mansion threw down their weapons and scattered in all directions.
Leaving only a tightly shut gate awaiting Su Juxia’s visit.
Watching these fleeing soldiers lacking the will to fight, Su Ping’s avatar shook his head slightly.
He initially imagined himself wielding two machetes, cutting from the east city to the south city, leaving a river of blood in his wake.
However, the reality was that the county soldiers and various experts in Changle County didn’t have any morale to rely on.
After slaying the opposing vanguard, the rest began to lose their nerve.
Once all those with courage were dead, the remainder dispersed like birds and beasts.
No one was there to boost morale, nor was there anyone seeking revenge for their brethren.
He had even reached the governor mansion!
Wasn’t it said this new Prefectural Governor had profound connections and notable origins?
This is it? No one rushing to protect?
Su Ping’s avatar was slightly disappointed, yet he did not slow his pace as he approached the gate.
With a single punch, the gate of the governor mansion exploded into splinters as if hit by a cannon.
The explosion sent a large group of gathered house servants and house help in the front courtyard tumbling to the ground.
Many were pierced by shards of wood, crying out in pain.
Subsequently, these house help, who had been organized with courage only because they hadn’t seen Su Juxia kill, fled in panic.
Su Ping paid no heed to the house help who clearly had no cultivation experience.
After knocking aside a few house servants and grabbing the best-equipped one.
He didn’t ask where the governor was.
With the perception of Su Ping’s avatar, he’d already locked onto those few people’s presence when he appeared at the street entrance.
He simply swung this house servant in a circle before throwing him towards the main entrance of the main hall.
The door was violently smashed open by this house servant.
With a loud crash, over ten crossbow bolts were shot out from within the main hall!
This volley of crossbow bolts, of course, hit nothing.
This frozen the powerful family members and the governor’s confidants, holding crossbows.
As they came back to their senses and were about to reload,
they realized that like a Demon Lord of Mayhem, Su Juxia had walked into the main hall.
He pressed both hands on the cheeks of two members of the powerful family.
With a thunderous crash, he forcibly embedded them into the hall’s cold stone floor.
When he released his hands, the crowd could only see faceless corpses that were unquestionably dead.
“W-wait, wait a minute, Su Juxia, Old Master Su, we can discuss this!”
A fat member of the powerful family shouted as Su Juxia approached, his face changed drastically.
“I have nothing to discuss with the dead.”
The crowd heard Su Juxia calmly utter words of despair, then with a swipe, twisted the neck of the pleading companion one hundred and eighty degrees, after which he fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, Su Juxia truly was insane, daring to kill even the direct descendants of the powerful families.
Several powerful family members retreated continually, making way for Governor Zhang, who was originally in the back row.
“Old Master Su, spare me! It was this dog official Zhang who forced us to harm you!”
“Old Master Su, spare us. If you let us live, our families from now on will be your dogs!”
Governor Zhang’s face flashed with anger upon hearing this.
But seeing Su Juxia already looking his way, he dared not act out, instead taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and cupped his hand, saying:
“Su Juxia, Old Master Su, this humble one Zhang Ping knows his wrongs.”
“I beg Old Master Su to show mercy and forgive this humble one. I promise that as long as I’m in office for a day, the officials of Changle County will never again target the Su Family.”
“You’ve realized your wrongs?”
Su Ping’s avatar looked at Governor Zhang.
This was the fuse that had caused him to climb out of the coffin.
Looking at this bureaucrat of the Daxia Dynasty.
“It’s not that you know you’re wrong; you know you’re going to die!”
The moment these words were spoken, Governor Zhang’s whole body trembled as he tilted his head to look at the towering Su Juxia:
“You… you really dare to kill me?”
“I’m a court official, my master is the Crown Prince’s Tutor!”
“You… do you know that killing me could get your entire family executed?”
Su Ping nodded upon hearing this, then broke this governor’s neck with a swipe and nodded at his falling corpse:
“I understand, I’m waiting for the emperor to exterminate my entire family.”
The governor’s body hit the ground with a sound coinciding with Su Ping’s voice.
Confirming for the others in the main hall that this Su Juxia was serious.
He truly intended to kill them all, regardless of the consequences.
At once, some mentally collapsed, kneeling and pleading for mercy, while others’ eyes reddened, drew weapons, and charged forward.
For those who found courage in the face of death, Su Ping showed them respect as enemies, sending them off with punches and whip kicks instead of slaps.
As for the cowardly, he sent them off with a simple swipe.
After causing a stir in the governor mansion and dealing with all who needed to be dealt with.
Su Ping exited the mansion, ready to feast and rest for a while, then head for the real strongholds of those powerful families, the manors outside the city.
At the street entrance to the mansion appeared a squad of armored cavalry.
