Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 57
Liangcheng, late at night.

Lin Ji was practicing peacefully in his room, but not long after, the housekeeper Lao Li knocked on the door outside.

"Master, someone from the yamen is here."

"Someone from the yamen?" Lin Ji woke up, a little puzzled.

It's late at night, maybe something happened.

Quickly came to the front hall, a young man dressed as a policeman was waiting.

Lin Ji just took a glance and saw that this person should be Liangcheng's demon catcher.

"My lord arrester, I'm Zhu Yu, Liangcheng demon arrester." The young man got up and saluted.

"Why are you looking for me?" Lin Ji nodded as a greeting.

"The chief arrester has just arrived, so maybe he doesn't know about it. Every night in Liangcheng today, there will be ghosts attacking the city outside the city. Although the number is not large, they are inexhaustible. Therefore, every night, the brothers have to go. The gates of the city are guarded."

Hearing this, Lin Ji slapped his forehead and was deceived by the peaceful scene during the day. He entered the city from the south gate again, and the ghosts in the south have been cleared up by Master Xing Chi recently.

Therefore, Lin Ji has forgotten the troubles in Liangcheng now.

"I'll go with you, let's lead the way." Lin Ji got up without any delay, took his long sword, and left the house.

Following Zhu Yu all the way north, the two soon arrived at the north gate of Liangcheng.

This is the direction Lin Ji walked when he left the city for the capital. When he left last time, there was no curfew in Liangcheng, and the city gates were never closed at night.

But at this moment, there was no one on the way.

When I arrived at the gate of the city, what I saw was heavily guarded, and the sound of shouts and roars sounded from time to time outside the city.

With a thought in Lin Ji's mind, his consciousness has already protruded out of the city.

At this moment, Shan Shan was within the scope of Lin Ji's spiritual consciousness, but within a range of hundreds of meters from the city gate, he found three ghosts alone.

Among them, two ghosts will be haunted by several three-level monsters, and the other one is hiding in the dark.

In addition, there are countless ghosts, constantly attacking in the direction of Liangcheng.

If it weren't for the resistance of many monks, perhaps there would be a Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts in Liangcheng City at this time.

"So much?" Lin Ji was slightly surprised.

The two boarded the city wall together, and the scene outside the city was already clear at a glance.

Looking around, countless ghosts rushed towards Liangcheng like a tide. The momentum alone made the soldiers on the city wall tremble with fear.

Lin Ji was also shocked by this scene. None of the ghostly night walks he experienced that day was as spectacular as this time.

"Is Liangcheng like this every night?" Lin Ji looked at Zhu Yu in shock.

"It wasn't like that at the beginning, and it was also recently that many ghost generals broke free from the ghost king's control, so the situation became chaotic."

Zhu Yu explained in a low voice: "It's said in the city that the ghost king of Liangcheng is about to die, and even his subordinates can't restrain himself. With the nature of ghosts, maybe one day he will be killed by his subordinates."

"It's fine to listen to this, and you must not pin your hopes on this illusory thing."

"That's what you taught me." Zhu Yu nodded slightly, as if being taught.

Lin Ji was a little uncomfortable with this style of painting.

After staying in Qingyang County for a long time, he got along well with his subordinates as a head catcher, so he didn't have any airs or barriers.

But when he arrived in Liangcheng, Lin Ji felt the strictness of the hierarchy just from Zhu Yu's body.

One level of officialdom crushes people to death, not to mention that he is the chief arrester, he can be more than one level old.

While speaking, not far in front of Lin Ji and Zhu Yu, a ghost general suddenly swallowed several ghosts around him, and the ghostly aura suddenly became overwhelming.

This change also caught the cultivator who was fighting the ghost general by surprise, he was suddenly trapped by ghost energy and fell to the ground.

"No, it's Catcher Sun!" Zhu Yu's face was shocked, and she wanted to jump down to save her.

But Lin Ji held him aside.

"Are you in the second realm?" Lin Ji asked casually.

"My lord's eyes are like torches." Zhu Yu replied, but his eyes were always fixed on the ghost general who was heading straight for Liangcheng.

"That ghost general swallowed a lot of ghost energy, let alone the fourth realm, are you looking for death?" Lin Ji shook his head and asked, "By the way, the one who was injured by the ghost general was also Liang Cheng. headhunter?"

"It's Liang Cheng's Deputy Catcher Sun Hai, and his humble position is Sun Catcher's subordinate." Zhu Yu replied.

At the same time, after the ghost general's ghost spirit rose greatly, he defeated Sun Hai but didn't make a move, but went straight to Liangcheng.

The injured Sun Hai's complexion changed drastically.

The north gate is only one side, and the situation on the east and west sides is exactly the same as here.

All the monks in the city had already left the city to defend against the ghosts, but Lord Zhan was the only one sitting in the city.

If that ghost general were allowed to enter the city, he would have injured many civilians in a short while. Even if he was beheaded in the end, it would be his negligence in the end.

"The ghost general is fierce, be careful to avoid it!" Sun Hai shouted.

The soldiers on the city wall have retreated one after another. This has happened more than once, and everyone has experience.

"Sir, why don't we." Zhu Yu looked at Lin Ji, and before he finished speaking, he found that Lin Ji had drawn his sword.

"There is thunder inside, the god of thunder is invisible, the wisdom of the hole is clear, and the five qi are surging."

Lin Ji's whispered words fell into Zhu Yu's ears.

The next moment, Lin Ji jumped up and rushed out of the city wall.

The ghost general also saw Lin Ji, and immediately turned around, attacking Lin Ji with a monstrous ghostly aura.

Immediately afterwards, the thunder exploded, illuminating the surrounding darkness for a moment.

The ghost general was directly beaten to death by the sky thunder, and the ghost aura around him was completely eliminated by the extreme heat.

"Who is that?!" Sun Hai widened his eyes, looked at the strange young monk in amazement, and killed the ghost general who seriously injured him with a single strike.

At the same time, Zhu Yu also came to Sun Hai's side and helped Sun Hai up.

"That's the new chief arrester." Zhu Yu explained.

"Is that the head arrester in Qingyang County before that? The head arresters from the county are so powerful? I've never heard of it!" Sun Hai couldn't believe it.

While the two were talking, Lin Ji's figure continued to shuttle around the ghost.

Wherever he went, whether it was ghosts or pawns, he killed them all with one sword.

Within a few breaths, he had already arrived in front of the second ghost general.

The ghost general also obviously saw the miserable situation of his former companion, and knew that this person in front of him was powerful, so he wanted to run away.

But under the thunder, how can a mere ghost escape.

Lin Ji sent out another sword, which brought down the thunder and wiped out the ghost.

There was the last ghost general hiding in the distance, Lin Ji looked up at the sky, and there was only the last thunderbolt left above.

The last one hid quite a bit far away.

With a thought in Lin Ji's mind, his spiritual consciousness had already covered the surrounding area, and locked on the ghost general's hiding place.

"Ray comes!"

With a loud shout, Lin Ji directly threw the long sword out viciously. With the green light wrapped around the blade of the sword, it was firmly nailed to a dark corner next to a stone a hundred meters away.

Ghost energy rises, but before it takes shape, the sky thunder has already fallen.

In just a few moments, the three ghost generals had all been beheaded.

"The fourth realm is really different from the third realm." Lin Ji thought, after the fourth realm, the Lightning Inducing Sword Art is not the same as it was before, and its power has doubled.

Turning around, he came to Zhu Yu's side, and glanced at Sun Hai who had a complex expression on his face.

Lin Ji patted Zhu Yu's shoulder.

"Go back and help me retrieve the long sword and send it to my house."

"Where are you going?" Zhu Yu asked subconsciously.

Lin Ji waved his hands without responding, and left on his own.

You can't say that you want to go back and rest.
