Chapter 219: Business to Attend To
But the moment the middle-aged man took his first step forward, he suddenly found his acupoints sealed, locking him in place and leaving him completely unable to move.
"What... what is this?"
Terror showed in the middle-aged man's eyes. Looking around him, he could see nothing but Li Musheng before him. There was absolutely no sign of anyone else having acted.
At that moment, Li Musheng's voice sounded at the middle-aged man's ear, "You are a member of the Great Li Tianjin Guards?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at Li Musheng, and at that point Zheng Zi and Yuwen Feng, seeing their companion suddenly frozen in place, both wore alarmed expressions and said in urgent, low voices, "Commissioner Miao, what is happening to you?"
The middle-aged man did not reply. He felt as though he had been plunged into a pool of ice water. Whoever had sealed his acupoints without any sound or sign was without question far above him in martial cultivation, and right now there was nothing he could do but wait.
With that thought, the middle-aged man looked at Li Musheng before him and said, "I am the Tianjin Guards Commissioner of Lan Province. This territory belongs to Falling God Peak. I advise young master not to act recklessly. Even with a powerful expert protecting you from behind, you will not escape pursuit from Falling God Peak."
Li Musheng shook his head and said, "You serve the Great Li court, yet you collude with Falling God Peak at a time of open conflict. Since I have encountered you, you have only yourself to blame."
The moment those words fell, the middle-aged man's eyes, which had still been open, went suddenly vacant, and the life within him vanished almost in an instant.
