Su Mu was so angry that he laughed.

You were nowhere to be seen when the monsters were attacking the city, but now you appear.

As soon as he arrived, he took over the defense of the outer city and drove all his people away.

What does it mean?
Do you really think that Su Mu is young and easy to bully?

"Captain Su, I am the commander-in-chief of the Wuling City Defense Army. City defense has always been within my jurisdiction. Naturally, I can also manage the outer city defense. Do you agree with me, Captain Su?"

Xie Zuowen smiled and said, "I am doing this for your sake, Captain Su.

It is customary for the Taiping Division to deal with high-level monsters, while local garrisons are responsible for the trivial matters of city defense.

Leave the city defense to Xie, so that the other captains can free up their energy and go all out to deal with the third-level monster.

If I'm not mistaken, after you, Captain Su, shoot two arrows with the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow, you will have to rest for a few days before you can continue to use the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow, right?
In this case, Commander Su, you can rest assured and take care of yourselves. I will take care of the defense of the outer city."

A set of rhetoric, very high-sounding.

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

At this moment, a man rushed out from behind Su Mu, pointed at Xie Zuowen's nose and cursed, "Old man, do you think I don't know what you are planning?
We don't need you here, go back to where you came from. There is only one commander in the outer city, and that's my brother Mu!"

"presumptuous!"

Xie Zuowen's face darkened and he said coldly, "I'm talking to Captain Su. Who are you to dare to interrupt? Believe it or not, I will have someone slap you in the face right now!"

"I'm the quartermaster of the outer city. You have no right to control me!"

Wang Guandao.

"Humph!"

There was a flash of murderous intent in Xie Zuowen's eyes. Even Wang Zang did not dare to call himself "the master" in front of him.

"I see."

Xie Zuowen sneered and said, "Not long ago, I caught two thieves in the armory in the inner city. The two thieves later escaped from prison and injured several of my men.

These two little thieves actually hid here.

Come, take them down for me!"

Xie Zuowen shouted loudly.

Clang!
Clang!
With swords drawn, several city defense soldiers stepped forward to capture Wang Guan and Xiang Xiaoyuan.

"Wait a minute."

Su Mu said lightly.

"What does Captain Su have to say? Could it be that Captain Su ordered these two to do this? Stealing weapons is a serious crime—"

Xie Zuowen said with a sneer.

Zhong Guizheng, Wei Bufan and others frowned. Was Xie Zuowen trying to take advantage of this situation?

Stealing arms is indeed a serious crime.

But Wang Guan and Xiang Xiaoyuan had just made great efforts in resisting the tide of monsters. It would be too disheartening if they were allowed to be captured by Xie Zuowen's city defense forces.

Several Taiping captains tacitly separated Xiang Xiaoyuan, Wang Guan and the city defense troops.

Regardless of anything else, these two people are the Taiping Security Guards.

"I just have a question."

Su Mu shook his head and said calmly, "General Xie is here to take over the defense of the outer city. Is there any order from the City Lord's Mansion?"

"I am the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. Why do I need an order from the City Lord's Mansion?"

Xie Zuowen frowned, not understanding what Su Mu meant.

"Then, does General Xie have an order to relieve me of my post as the commander of the outer city?"

Su Mu asked seriously.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. It is only natural for me to take over the city defense—"

"Yes and no."

Su Mu repeated it with a stronger tone.

"No."

Xie Zuowen frowned.

"Since there are no orders."

Su Mu said slowly, "Why are you running in front of me and talking nonsense?
Who do you think you are? How dare you arrest someone in front of me?"

As soon as Su Mu said this, the scene fell into complete silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Xie Zuowen widened his eyes, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

"What did you say?"

After several breaths, Xie Zuowen could not help but speak.

Is Su Mu crazy?
How dare a mere Taiping Commander speak to him like that?

The Taiping Duwei was only of the seventh rank, and even if he was one level higher in rank, he was only equivalent to the sixth rank.

He is Xie Zuo Wen, the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, a genuine fifth-rank military officer!

Even if it was the Taiping Captain, one had to be polite when meeting him.

He, Xie Zuowen, is qualified to dine at the same table with the pacification envoy of the Wuling City Taiping Division!

He was just a small Taiping Duwei. He gave the other party face by calling him Duwei. If he didn't give him face, what could the other party do?

"Are you deaf? My brother Mu said, who the hell do you think you are!"

Wang Guan laughed.

"Without the order from the City Lord's Mansion to dismiss my brother Mu, my brother Mu is still the supreme commander of the outer city. Who do you think you are? Get out of here!"

Xie Zuowen's face suddenly turned gloomy.

As the third most important person in Wuling City, when had he ever been humiliated in public like this?

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

Xie Zuowen snorted coldly, "Capture them all! Anyone who dares to resist, except Su Mu, will be killed without mercy!"

He placed his hand on the hilt of the knife, a fierce murderous intent emanating from him.

As the general of Wuling City, Xie Zuowen's strength is not inferior to that of Captain Taiping. He is a warrior in the realm of transcendence.

He didn't even take the few Taiping commanders seriously.

If he hadn't been counting on Su Mu to use the Five Fires Heaven-shaking Bow, he would have even wanted to kill Su Mu.

In this outer city, except for the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow, no one can be a match for Xie Zuowen.

Su Mu just used the Five Fires Heaven Shocking Bow yesterday, and he certainly hasn't recovered yet today.

Without the Five Fires Shocking Heaven Bow, these Taiping commanders combined would not be his match!

Xie Zuowen stared at the few people, hoping that they would resist, which would be a perfect opportunity for him to take action.

The girl from the Luo family is also here, so it's a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. I can just push them onto the monster tide afterwards.

"Who dares!"

Zhong Guizheng and Wei Bufan were furious and drew their swords with a clang.

boom!
Xie Zuowen snorted coldly and swung his sword like lightning.

Zhong Guizheng and Wei Bufan retreated several steps, and the long swords in their hands broke into two pieces.

"Unbelievable!"

Xie Zuowen sneered, "If it was the Taiping Commander, would he still be able to fight this general? Just you guys?"

"Take it!"

Xie Zuowen shouted.

"Xie Zongbing, you can go back to the inner city now, and I can pretend that nothing happened."

Su Mu lowered his eyelids and spoke lightly.

"Su Mu, you don't seem to understand the situation yet."

Xie Zuowen said coldly, "If you don't want them to die at the hands of the monsters, you'd better cooperate with me honestly." His people have taken over the outer city wall. This place is under his control, and he is completely unscrupulous.

Anyway, the peasants from the outer city will die in the monster tide, so what happens here will naturally not be known to outsiders.

"Xie General, I think you are the one who doesn't understand the situation."

Su Mu said calmly, "If I remember correctly, our Taiping Division is the privileged department. When did it become the turn of the City Defense Army to bully the Taiping Division?"

"Ha ha!"

Xie Zuowen laughed, "Young man, let me teach you a lesson, fists are the privilege.

You are not as strong as me, so you have to listen to me."

"So, you're not going to leave?"

Su Mu said.

Xie Zuowen's face was gloomy. This kid named Su had challenged his bottom line again and again.

If he wasn't still useful, I would have beaten him to death right now!
When the demon tide is over, he will be of no use and can die.

"It was originally a simple matter. My city defense army and your Taiping Division have nothing to do with each other. I do my thing and you do yours. Why do you have to make things complicated?"

Xie Zuowen said coldly, "Do you really think you are Zhao Po Nu? A few Taiping commanders dare to challenge me?

I usually give you some face, but what time is it now?
In front of the monster tide, strength is everything, and the identity of the Taiping Division is nothing."

"Now that you understand this, you can go on your journey with peace of mind."

Su Mu said indifferently, and suddenly, he drew a line on the bowstring of the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow with his palm, and blood instantly dyed the bowstring red.

Xie Zuowen couldn't help but laugh, "You just used the Five Fires Heaven Shocking Bow yesterday, your body hasn't recovered yet, right? You want to scare me?
You can't use it at all now!

Even if you can use it in two days, do you think I will be afraid of you?
They are in my hands, what can you do to me?"

Xie Zuowen pointed at Luo Anning and others, an expression on his face that showed everything was under control.

Do you really think that Xie Zuowen would just casually come to the outer city to claim credit?

From the moment he appeared in the outer city, the outer city was under his control.

There is not even a captain in the Taiping Division in the outer city now. Do you really think that you can scare Xie Zuowen with just a title?

Zhao Po Nu was not in Wuling City, so there were only a few old, weak, sick and disabled Taiping captains left in Wuling City.

He is not afraid of the Taiping Division at all!

When Zhao Po Nu and his men came back, he also had his own excuse. Facing a level five demon tide, there would be some sacrifices. Isn't that normal?
Moreover, with the merit of resisting the fifth-level monster tide, his official position may not be lower than Zhao Po Nu by then.

A smug look appeared on Xie Zuowen's face, but the next moment, the smug look on his face froze.

Because he saw that Su Mu actually pulled the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow!
Pulled away!
He actually pulled it open!
Xie Zuowen screamed wildly in his heart, how is this possible?

According to his estimation, Su Mu had just shot and killed a third-level monster yesterday, so he would need at least two days of rest before he could shoot again.

Only one night had passed, how could he possibly draw the bow again?

He didn't exchange blood nine times. Logically speaking, if he used his physical body and supernatural powers to forcibly draw the bow, the consumption would be greater!
"Captain Su--Commander Su, it's a misunderstanding. I was just joking."

Xie Zuowen said with a stiff expression.

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Su Mu loosen his hand, and a streak of bright red came straight towards him.

Xie Zuowen was instantly frightened out of his wits.

How dare he!
I have already given in, how dare he attack me in public?
Xie Zuowen roared, and all his strength burst out instantly. He slashed forward with a knife and retreated at the same time.

Swish!
He had just raised his arm, and before the knife could even fall, the blood-red arrow had already pierced his chest.

With a whooshing sound, the five-colored flames instantly engulfed Xie Zuowen's body.

He just let out a short scream, then twisted and fell to the ground in the flames. After a few breaths, he turned into a pile of ashes.

At such a close distance, Su Mu would definitely not miss the target even if he closed his eyes.

The Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow is so powerful that it can kill even a third-order monster, let alone Xie Zuowen who is at the Transmigration Realm?

The flames completely disappeared, and a breeze blew away the remaining black ash on the ground. Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Xie Zuowen disappeared completely, without even a hair left. Even his armor and sword were burned to ashes by the five-colored flames of the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow.

Everyone present was stunned, including the city defense troops brought by Xie Zuowen.

They all saw clearly how decisive and ruthless Su Mu was, and the power of the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow.

Zhong Guizheng, Wei Bufan and other Taiping commanders also took a deep breath.

They also didn't expect that Su Mu would actually kill him.

According to their thinking, they just need to intimidate Xie Zuowen, because he is the commander-in-chief of the city defense army and a fifth-rank military general.

If you kill him for no reason, there will be a lot of trouble later.

"Xie Zuowen colluded with the monster and intended to kill the Taiping Commander. His plan was exposed and he put up a stubborn resistance. This Commander killed him on the spot."

Su Mu said slowly.

He noticed the expressions of Zhong Guizheng, Wei Bufan and others, and he also understood why Xie Zuowen dared to be so arrogant.

It is obvious that the Taiping Division is the privileged department, and the Taiping Commander of Wuling City is too principled.

They spend all day slaying demons and monsters and are almost becoming idiots.

What kind of organization is the Taiping Division? Compared to the Jinyiwei in his previous life, it has even greater power.

Can you still let the local officials bully you?

What a joke.

They can just laugh secretly if the Taiping Division doesn't cause them trouble, so how dare they come and provoke the Taiping Division?
A gentleman can be deceived.

Su Mu is not a gentleman.

Xie Zuowen's methods were fine for bullying Luo Anning and other inexperienced Taiping captains, but in Su Mu's opinion, they were simply ridiculous.

Kill demons and eliminate evil, and protect peace in the world. Now, the world is at peace.

The city guards looked at Su Mu as if he were a devil.

Although the Taiping Division was in a high position in the past, it had never killed people so casually.

Besides, this is not an ordinary person.

This is the commander-in-chief of the city defense army.

Just kill if you say kill?
The city defense troops were frightened and subconsciously began to retreat.

The city defense troops that were already deployed also began to riot.

"Second Young Master, pass the order."

Su Mu said calmly, "This is a war. If the city defense forces dare to retreat, they will be treated as deserters and executed immediately."

Wang Guan suddenly became excited. Oh my god, isn’t this the big thing he has always dreamed of?
The damn Xie Zuowen was killed.

These city defense troops have come to the outer city and want to run back to the inner city?
impossible!

Those who came to the outer city are soldiers from the outer city.

Our brother Mu is the commander of the outer city. All the troops in the outer city are under the command of our brother Mu.

Wang Guan strode forward, using his well-trained singing voice to shout at the city defense troops.

Zhong Guizheng, Wei Bufan and other Taiping commanders looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they do this?

Kill the leader and leave the soldiers behind?

Has the problem of insufficient troops in the outer city been solved just like that?

"Brother Su, how many times can you shoot?"

Miss Luo said, with an eager expression on her face.

She didn't care about Xie Zuowen's death. In her opinion, what Su Mu did was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it. Xie Zuowen had a way to die, so wasn't it normal to kill him?

What she is thinking about now is whether the fifth-level demon tide can be eliminated. Isn’t the Taiping Division supposed to slay demons and eliminate monsters?

There are so many monsters outside the city, kill them.
