Chapter 81 The Great Monster of the Strong Bone Realm Strikes!
Jiang Qi stared at the mangled limb of Senior Sister Ye Lan, crushed by Tan Zonghan, and a chill ran through him.
"Sigh..." Lan Jing sighed softly, "Don't think too much about it, you'll get used to it."
Wang Lang stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "There's a sinister spot in the south of the village. Jiang Qi and Zhang Xiao, you two go deal with it; there are two spots in the north of the village. Han Jun, Pei Guan, and Wang Zhe, you go..."
The unified operation just now was just to let everyone get used to it; the remaining few evil places will be the real test.
Only by truly solving evil on their own can newcomers grow into demon-suppressing guardians.
After composing themselves, the group headed to their respective evil spots as arranged.
The night was as dark as ink, and the moon was obscured by dark clouds.
Jiang Qi and Zhang Xiao arrived at the south side of the village, and the Demon-Suppressing Token quickly sensed the location of the evil spirit.
"Brother Jiang, could it be another acquaintance?"
Zhang Xiao doesn't seem to have recovered from what happened with Wu Yue and Ye Lan.
Jiang Qi remained silent, picked up his knife, and went into the house.
Before long, they brought out a villager who was possessed by an evil spirit.
"Do you know him?"
"I don't know him." Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go then."
The two men, with the evil spirit bound, walked towards the center of the village.
But after only a few steps, the two suddenly stopped and looked to their right.
As if responding to every glance, a blurry figure, chuckling, darted out of the darkness and charged straight at the two.
Zhang Xiao reacted extremely quickly and was about to draw his sword, but Jiang Qi was even faster, almost the instant the afterimage struck, he had already drawn his sword and slashed out.
Clang!
The metal clashed, sparks flew, and the afterimage of the face was reflected.
Jiang Qi and Zhang Xiao were both taken aback.
The visitor wasn't exactly an acquaintance, but they knew each other.
Weiyuan Escort Agency, Zhu Xiang, a镖师 with seven Qi and Blood, is the same Zhu Huan, the镖师 who went to the Water Pavilion with him to congratulate Jiang Qi on his promotion to Demon Suppression Guard.
Zhang Xiao looked fearful and unconsciously moved closer to Jiang Qi. "Brother Jiang... how should we fight?"
He couldn't defeat a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) with seven streams of qi and blood, so he could only rely on Jiang Qi.
"Take the man back first, and leave Zhu the bodyguard to me," Jiang Qichao said in a deep voice, stepping forward.
"Is that alright?" Zhang Xiao looked at Jiang Qi's back and suddenly felt that he was incredibly tall and imposing.
"Then shall I go first?" Jiang Qi said.
"Brother Jiang...no, Brother Jiang, from now on you're my boss!" Zhang Xiao grabbed the villager and strode away swiftly. "I'm going to get reinforcements!"
Possessed by evil spirits, Zhu Xiang didn't pursue; his eyes remained coldly fixed on Jiang Qi.
"Kid, I'll give you a chance. Offer yourself up."
"I'll give you a chance," Jiang Qi said expressionlessly, taking a step forward with his sword and walking towards Zhu Xiang. "Get off him."
"Hehehe..." A sinister laugh echoed, "It's been a long time since I've seen a Demon-Suppressing Guard with such arrogance. Interesting..."
"Then you should come out and see more, instead of hiding in someone else's body." Jiang Qi clenched his fist and slashed out with the cold blade in his hand.
"You think you can take me?" the evil spirit cried out, manipulating Zhu Xiang as he lunged fiercely at the blade's edge.
Jiang Qi frowned slightly, channeling his energy into the blade, transforming his slashing into a striking motion.
With a single slash, he knocked Zhu Xiang, who was lunging at him, down.
"I'm giving you one last chance to get off him."
"You little town demon guards, how dare you command me!"
Zhu Xiang's face instantly contorted into a ferocious expression as he lunged forward again.
However,
"ah--"
As he lunged into the air, he suddenly screamed in agony, as if he had seen something terrifying.
"I'm coming out! I'm coming out! Don't come any closer!"
A wisp of black smoke shot out from above Zhu Xiang's head, followed by a frantic escape.
Zhu Xiang, on the other hand, was like a deflated balloon, slumped to the ground, and showed no signs of life.
Sure enough, even the tortoise shell didn't work.
Jiang Qi sighed, and with a few leaps, he instantly closed the distance to the black mist.
The tortoise-shell pearl was enveloped in a luster.
"Ah!" the grotesque creature screamed in agony, "You'll die too! You can't escape!"
[Demon Slayer] +10.
Jiang Qi landed slowly and looked at the corpse on the ground.
The tortoise bead is very useful, but it can only ward off evil, not save people.
"Wu Yue... Ye Lan... Zhu Xiang..."
He felt that the appearance of three bodyguards from Weiyuan Escort Agency in succession was not a coincidence.
Even worse, the entire shipment that Ye Lan mentioned that day could end up in trouble.
Just as he had guessed, in such a short time, the entire village had fallen into chaos.
Han Jun, Wang Zhe, Pei Guan, and others all encountered evil spirits.
Even the two veteran Demon Guards, Lan Jing and Wang Lang, were entangled by a wicked镖师 (bodyguard/escort) who had one foot in the Strong Bone Realm.
Furthermore, just as Jiang Qi and Zhu Xiang were locked in battle, another powerful aura suddenly stormed into the village, heading straight for Lan Jing and Wang Lang.
"Oh no! It's a great monster!"
They were already unable to deal with a half-step Strong Bone Realm evil possessor, let alone another true Strong Bone Realm expert.
Almost instantly, Wang Lang and Lan Jing were sent flying by the possessed being, spitting out blood.
It was clear that the two were about to lose their lives.
"Tan Zonghan, the Demon Suppression Officer of the Demon Suppression Division, is here! You audacious and wicked fool, kneel down!"
A rebuking voice descended from the sky.
Tan Zonghan, who had previously teased Lan Jing, Wang Lang, and others, had already left the village, but soon sensed the aura of the Great Evil, so he returned and killed his way back at this critical moment.
Layer upon layer of blades slashed down on the possessed demon with overwhelming force.
Dangdang Dangdang!
In a fierce clash of metal, the possessed demon blocked all of Tan Zonghan's attacks.
Tan Zonghan's face flashed with solemnity. Although he hadn't used his full strength in his attack, he had still used eighty percent of his power, and this giant monster had actually blocked it all, which showed how terrifying it was.
"You guys take Lan Jing and Wang Lang and leave first!"
He held his knife in front of the demon, showing no fear, and spoke to the three demon-suppressing guards behind him.
As the Demon Suppression Division's Evil Suppression Officer and a descendant of the Tan family of Licheng, he looked down on Lan Jing and the others, but he would never allow the Great Demon to cause trouble in front of him!
"My lord, we'll stay and help you!" The three demon-suppressing guards refused to leave.
"Go!" Tan Zonghan hissed, gripping his knife. "Don't interfere with me."
Knowing Tan Zonghan's temperament, the three demon-suppressing guards dared not say anything more. They helped Lan Jing and Wang Lang up, and escorted the monsters they were supposed to be carrying out of the village.
Under the cover of darkness, the willow trees sway their branches, resembling menacing and sinister creatures.
The group crossed the field ridges and were about to embark on the official road.
puff!
The sound of flesh being pierced was particularly jarring in the night wind.
"I..." The demon-suppressing guard who was carrying out the mission stood frozen on the edge of the field, looking down blankly.
Blood splattered from his chest, and the cold wind whistled through the bowl-sized wound.
This is where the heart should be.
But now, the heart is nowhere to be found.
Beside him, the possessed evil spirit, whose energy should have been sealed, was bowing its head, like a wild beast, gnawing at his heart.
The other two Demon Suppression Guards were both taken aback.
Instead...
"Boss!"
The two seemed to only then realize what was happening.
But this sound seemed to startle the evil spirit who was enjoying his meal.
His cold eyes suddenly lifted.
"Hehehe..."
......
In the center of the village.
Tan Zonghan, wielding the Evil-Suppressing Cold Blade, was locked in combat with the Great Demon, whose body was shrouded in black aura.
Da Gui was wounded, and Tan Zonghan also had blood in his mouth.
However, Tan Zonghan, worthy of being a descendant of a military family and the Demon-Suppressing Guard, finally killed the great monster with a single blow after a fierce battle.
