I Have A Demon God Simulator - Chapter 21
Chapter 21 Rescue
Su Mu had run into a wall. He felt a headache.
But no matter what, he had to find Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue first and ensure their personal safety.
Yanjing was huge. The east and north of the city were like two different places.
It was already four in the morning, and there was almost no one on the streets in the north of the city.
But the east side of the city was bustling!
The taverns, teahouses, and brothels were all brightly lit.
The sound of the strings and percussion, as well as the sound of drinking, continuously entered Su Mu’s ears.
The entire eastern part of the city was filled with debauchery.
The prosperity of this place caused Su Mu a lot of trouble.
He could hardly find a dark place to hide, let alone sneak into the Imperial Academy.
He stayed up until the fifth watch period, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, before it finally calmed down a little.
Su Mu found an opportunity and successfully sneaked into the Academy’s workshop, finding Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue.
The two of them were doing some rough work with tear-stained faces.
From their expressions, it was obvious that they were filled with fear and apprehension for the future.
Fortunately, they were still safe, and nothing had happened.
The problem now was, how could he get them out without attracting pursuers?
This was an extremely difficult problem to solve, and Su Mu couldn’t come up with anything feasible in such a short time.
Helplessly, he could only hide in the dark and keep an eye on the Imperial Academy.
He hoped that he could think of a good idea or find a good opportunity.
However, things did not go smoothly.
Su Mu had been waiting for an entire day, but he still had no ideas. He couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
He tried to change his train of thought.
For example, they had to decide on a way out of the city.
Then, he could take Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue away by force.
In the end, before the law came hot on their heels, he would escape Yanjing and leave this place of trouble.
But he knew that this wouldn’t be possible.
Yanjing was heavily guarded, and he wanted to force his way out of the city with two women and a wounded man?
How could it be that easy!?
The more Su Mu gave it thought, the more he felt a headache.
But at that moment, the opportunity to act came!
The next day, at the third watch.
Three mysterious people had suddenly shown up at the Academy.
These three people were all dressed in black, and when they walked, they gave off a powerful presence. They were clearly all martial artists.
They seemed to be from the same organization.
After entering the academy, nobody stopped them when they walked up easily took Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue away.
It was obvious that these people had powerful backgrounds!
Su Mu, who was hiding in the dark, squinted his eyes when he saw this scene, and his mind began to race.
Where did these people come from?
Why did they take Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue away?
What were they trying to do?
With these questions in mind, Su Mu quietly followed.
The three martial artists in black brought Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue all the way to the northern suburbs.
This place was remote and sparsely populated.
There was not a single person in the middle of the night.
Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue’s hearts were filled with fear and uneasiness when they were brought to such a desolate place in the middle of the night.
What the three black-clothed martial artists said next made them even more terrified.
“Tsk, tsk, it’s such a pity to kill such beautiful women.”
“This little one is not bad either. She’s a beauty.”
“She’s getting there. It’ll probably take a few more years. I’ll take the mother any day, hehe!”
As they chatted, two of the black-clothed martial artists let out wretched laughters.
However, they were immediately stopped by the leader.
He shouted with a gloomy face, “Do you two want to die? Do you need me to teach you what you should and shouldn’t do?”
The two people who were scolded stopped smiling awkwardly and started to explain themselves with dry coughs.
“I know, I know. The two of us were just joking. How would we dare to act recklessly during a mission?”
“Yes, yes, I wouldn’t dare even if I had the
guts!”
The leader’s expression softened a little and he waved his hand, “Alright, alright, let’s get to work! There are still many targets waiting for us to deal with.”
“Deal!”
The two black-clad martial artists unsheathed their long sabers and looked at Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue with murderous intent.
Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue sank into deep despair and fear, and their faces turned pale.
These people had brought them out to find a remote place to kill them!
“Mother!”
Xu Qingxue cried out and buried her head in her mother’s arms, her body trembling slightly.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It’ll be fine. Everything will get better.”
Du Wanrong hugged her daughter tightly and gently stroked her head, trying to comfort her as much as possible.
Du Wanrong didn’t know who these people were, or why they wanted to kill them.
After being thrown into prison, their world fell into endless darkness, and they were still falling!
The only thing Du Wanrong could do now was to comfort her daughter so that she would have less fear before she died.
The scene of the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying did not soften the hearts of the black-clothed martial artists.
“What a pity!”
One of them still mumbled with some regret. Then, he waved his long saber and prepared to behead him!
The other person also swung his blade.
Just as Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue’s heads were about to fall to the ground, a sudden change occurred!
In the darkness, two blood-colored bone claws suddenly emerged and grabbed the necks of the two martial artists in black.
Before the long blades in their hands could land, a bloody hole had appeared on each of their necks! “Uh, uh!”
The blades in their hands clattered to the ground. They covered their necks with pained expressions and fell to the ground, dead.
Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue were saved!
“Who is it?”
This sudden attack caused the leader’s expression to change drastically, and he was extremely shocked.
He focused his eyes and saw a person walking out of the darkness. There was no flesh on his palms, only blood-colored bones!
It was very strange!
Su Mu’s expression was cold as he stared at the person he had deliberately left alive. He said with a murderous look,”That’s what I want to ask too. Who are you people? Why did you come to kill these two weak women?”
Facing Su Mu’s question, the warrior in black glanced about, paused for a moment, then suddenly jumped up and fled into the distance.
The three black-clothed martial artists had different cultivation levels.
The two who were killed by Su Mu in one move were second-rate warriors.
The last one to escape was a first-rate warrior.
When the first-rate warrior who was leading the group came back to his senses, he immediately understood that he was not Su Mu’s opponent.
His two subordinates were good enough to exchange ten blows with him each.
Even if it was a sneak attack, they would not be taken out instantly.
However, this mysterious man had killed two of his men in one move!
He was not this man’s match!
Therefore, the leader of the martial artists turned around and fled without hesitation. He only hated his parents for not giving him two more legs.
Su Mu was not in a hurry to chase after him.
One of his finger bones was already resting on the man’s body.
Su Mu could sense his position through this small piece of bone.
It was effectively a tracker!
