SHHICK...
Lou Hui's throat was sliced wide open. Blood sprayed out, still gushing from the fatal wound.
Chen Cheng followed up with another swift strike, instantly severing Lou Hui's head, which rolled across the ground.
This wasn't an act of cruelty. The strike he had just delivered was a Perfect Level Saber Technique, and a keen observer could easily have deduced from the markings on the wound that Chen Cheng's Saber Technique had reached Perfection.
Decapitating Lou Hui was the only way to hide the traces of that last strike.
Not far away, Mu Chuan was leaning against a courtyard wall, using his Constable's Saber for support. He was panting heavily. Turning his head, he saw the exact moment Chen Cheng beheaded Lou Hui, and his heart pounded with absolute terror.
"B-Brother Cheng, you... you actually killed Lou Hui?"
