With a flash of his saber, Chen Cheng cut the man's head clean off. It all happened in the blink of an eye.
Mu Chuan and the others were dumbstruck. Standing behind Chen Cheng, their view had been obstructed. Furthermore, the man had deliberately concealed himself in the shadows of the courtyard wall, so they hadn't seen him grip his saber or move to launch a sneak attack.
In their eyes, the man had kindly given Chen Cheng directions, only for Chen Cheng to suddenly draw his saber and kill him without any warning. It was completely uncalled for.
"Brother Cheng, what are you doing?" Mu Chuan asked in alarm.
Chen Cheng gripped his bloodstained Constable's Saber, his gaze fixed on the other man. Without turning his head, he said coldly, "Take a look at who the dead man is."
Mu Chuan quickly looked at the ground. The head had rolled onto the bluestone pavement, clearly visible under the bright moonlight.
