I can't be a demon.

Chapter 129 You Got the Wrong Person

There were nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers outside Yanliang Town, all of whom were elite troops transferred from the capital.

Their martial arts skills are generally at the third or fourth level of foundation building, and their armor and swords are engraved with talismans. They are a demon-slaying army affiliated with the imperial court.

The old general [Wang Changshan] is a rare innate warrior. Scars left by monsters can be seen on his half-exposed face. Just standing still, he exudes an indescribable murderous aura.

The officers and soldiers were mainly responsible for protecting tens of thousands of civilians so as not to affect the Jinwu Guards' efforts to quell the demons.

The old general looked around the temporary station.

He discovered that Yanliang Town was indeed a place good at martial arts. The proportion of warriors was far more than usual, and there were many child warriors who had practiced martial arts since childhood.

"It's different. It's really different."

Over the past hundred years, as mortals have become more and more delicious, demons have gradually become less of a secret, causing martial arts to continue to weaken.

There are only a few martial arts schools left in the capital, and the children of the powerful and wealthy are all pursuing internal skills and immortal arts.

"It is said that the emergence of a Yuan Dan warrior in Yanliang Town led to the prosperity of martial arts..."

The old general looked around and did not notice the overly rich Qi and blood. "I don't know whether the rumors about the Yuandan warrior are true or false."

He inspected the temporary station and thought that he would have to spend some time talking to the demon. However, the result was beyond the old general's expectation. The people of Yanliang Town quickly calmed down the panic caused by the demon.

Logically speaking, once Yanliang Town fell, the people would have to leave their homes.

But the people were talking among themselves, and even chatting about the preparations for the upcoming autumn harvest, which showed that they did not think that the demons could not be dealt with at all.

"Strange, perhaps his mind, which was affected by the taboos of the White Bone Cave, has not yet fully recovered?"

The old general was slightly stunned as some people spontaneously built crude statues of gods in the open space.

The statue looks ferocious like a demon, holding a knife in one hand and a long whip in the other. It is very popular in Yanliang Town.

According to them, the statue is Zhong Kui, the deity who slays demons and monsters.

The old general said inwardly with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Man can conquer nature. It is better to trust man than God. Zhong Kui will not protect you from harm."

Rumble.

The earth shook in the direction of Yanliang Town, and a white-bone demon with a thousand-year-old Taoist practice appeared, and a thick fog of resentment enveloped the city.

The old general showed fear on his face. If the monsters in the city were demons, they usually had physical bodies and warriors were capable of fighting them off.

The Demon-Slaying Army was established a hundred years ago, and many thousand-year-old demons died in their encirclement and suppression, but they can only defend themselves when facing thousand-year-old ghosts.

After all, it is difficult for swords and knives to hurt resentment.

"In today's world, demons and monsters devour warriors and their abilities grow higher and higher. It won't be long before the demon-slaying army will be disbanded..."

The old general sighed, feeling powerless at the fate of the warriors.

Bang bang bang.

The sound of flesh being torn was extremely sudden, coming from all over the temporary base, and then the nearby officers and soldiers sensed a faint sense of resentment.

There are ghosts! And there is more than one!!

The bone demons crawled out of their skins one after another, their eyes revealing almost tangible greed.

The officers and soldiers quickly drew their swords and without hesitation mobilized their restrained energy and blood. For a moment, the hot energy rushed up into the sky.

The back of the knife hit the armor, and the neat shouts were sonorous and powerful.

"There are demons. Form a formation! Kill them!!!"

The old general spat. He didn't want to encounter ghosts, but ghosts appeared all at once in the temporary base. It seemed that there were at least a hundred powerful ghosts hiding in the crowd.

He looked at Ma Wanhu, who was using secret techniques to maintain the magic circle. The Jinwu Guards were scattered inside and outside the city walls and could not provide support in a short period of time.

"damn it!"

"I hope our death will not be in vain. We should at least protect the safety of the people."

The old general was determined to die. He pierced a silver needle into his heart, stimulating the surge of qi and blood. On the surface, it seemed that he had reached the sixth level of Yuandan.

Roar!
After hesitating for a few moments, the demons all started chasing after the old general.

The old general grinned, but unfortunately he only lured away thirty or forty demons, and the remaining demons were still no match for the demon-slaying army.

"If the martial artists in Yanliang Town work together to resist the monsters, the situation should be stabilized temporarily. However, the aura of monsters naturally restrains warriors."

"what?"

The old general looked puzzled.

Under normal circumstances, when mortals see a terrifying and mysterious demon, their first reaction is to flee, which can easily lead to chaos.

Although the people of Yanliang Town were extremely frightened, they still maintained order.

next moment.

The old general immediately realized why the people were so fearless, and a huge giant over five meters tall appeared in his field of vision.

A shadow loomed over the crowd.

call.

The white bone spine cut through the air without any skill at all.

The old general stood there in a daze, facing the power revealed by the white bone spine and the terrifying energy and blood of the giant that dominated the entire audience.

How could he not know that that was the sixth level of Yuandan that he had been dreaming of!

That's the legendary Yuandan warrior from Yanliang Town!!

That is the Zhong Kui that people worship from the bottom of their hearts!!!
Rumble.

The knife flashed past, leaving a deep scar on the ground. The yin and yang energy remaining in the ravine looked like a burning light.

With just one strike, thirty demons were beheaded.

The old general was not happy but frightened. He urged his strength and shouted: "Be careful, ghosts are made of resentment, and sharp weapons cannot kill them..."

Before he could finish his words, the demon corpses began to struggle.

Amid the officers and soldiers' incredulous gazes and the people's surprised laughter, the demon's corpse turned into resentment that spread everywhere.

The huge man was filled with resentment, his five-meter body standing in the center of the crowd, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

The mortal's body only reached Shen Lian's knees, and because it was not completely covered with scales, his face that looked like a human and a dragon did look a bit like Zhong Kui. The other demons stared at Shen Lian as if they were facing a great enemy, and for a moment they did not dare to act rashly.

Can you say he is not Zhong Kui? ! !

"There is such a god in the world. Is he really a warrior?"

The old general muttered to himself, and the martial arts secrets he had read flashed through his mind. Some of the horizontal martial arts could be found in Shen Lian.

Looking at the martial artists in Yanliang Town, they were all staring at Shen Lian in fascination.

No wonder martial arts flourished in Yanliang Town, they must have seen Zhong Kui practicing martial arts.

The martial arts world has come back to life and is blooming again in a remote town!

thump.

As Shen Lian twisted and turned, the artistic conception of his fists and palms covering an area of ​​a hundred meters was revealed, and a wave of strong force surged past, killing demons one after another.

The officers and soldiers present stopped and looked at the scene.

It was the first time that the old general and others saw the true meaning of martial arts that was comparable to magic. Even though the Zhong Kui in front of them was an alchemist, he also practiced martial arts.

He has also reached the pinnacle of martial arts and his talent is unprecedented.

Roar!
The demons that were chasing the old general changed direction and tried to escape from Yanliang Town.

Clang.

The bone blade at Shen Lian's waist was slightly unsheathed, and the blade had not yet been revealed, but the burst of light had already streaked across the sky like a meteor.

All the demons were killed.

Shen Lian crushed the head of a demon and scanned the career panel.

[Corpse identification completed, Jizo's experience +0.01%]

【Ghoul】

[Born in the White Bone Cave, the corpse ghost contains a trace of the White Bone Lady's residual soul in its body. After grinding the bone powder, it can be used to refine the White Bone Magical Instrument. 】

"Bone weapon? Isn't the Corpse Demon's scabbard a bone weapon? It's a good thing."

Shen Lian could feel that if the corpse ghost was thrown into the banyan tree cave, the residual soul of the so-called White Bone Lady might be able to give birth to rare treasures.

He looked eager, the zombies outside the city were not enough to fill his teeth.

The thousand-year-old corpses are all concentrated in Yanliang Town. With my fourth-level wisdom eye, each of them is a mobile experience package.

"Hey, there's no delay."

Shen Lian jumped up, and the gust of air he created caused everyone and horses in the temporary station to fall to the ground.

The mynah bird, which had been watching the show for a long time, quietly landed on Shen Lian's shoulder. The man and the bird rushed straight to the city gate blocked by the magic circle. The rich energy and blood caused the demons in the city to become restless, and roars continued.

The old general blocked the blowing sand and didn't understand why Shen Lian wanted to wade into muddy water. The thousand-year-old demon was no longer something a warrior could deal with.

He glanced at Ma Wanhu, whose calm face showed a hint of astonishment.

"Who is this person?"

Ma Wanhu was stunned for a moment. He had just noticed the demons that had mixed in with the refugees. Before he could mobilize the Jinwu Guards, Shen Lian had taken care of hundreds of ghosts like a whirlwind.

You know, although the ghosts seem to have only been practicing for about two hundred years, the corpse ghosts in the White Bone Cave are extremely difficult to deal with. Even if there is a trace of resentment left, they can be revived by absorbing the blood of living people.

Not to mention a hundred households at the sixth level of Yuandan, even a thousand households could not act so easily.

"Martial arts? Have I stayed in the cave for too long? Can martial arts kill demons and monsters now?"

Ma Wanhu felt inexplicably fearful, and his seven souls that had left his body couldn't help but sweep over the man and the bird, and inadvertently met the eyes of the mynah bird with its head tilted.

"Ah~"

He looked dazed, and most of the sky was covered by endless black air.

Followed by.

Ma Wanhu witnessed a scene that he would never forget in his life.

Behind the starling, the black gas turned into a giant beast nearly 20 meters tall, its features vaguely visible. If I saw it correctly...

Listen carefully! This is the listening carefully recorded in ancient books.

According to legend, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva uses Di Ting to watch over the eighteen levels of hell.

Ma Wanhu groaned, and the strange vision disappeared in an instant, but the shock in his heart did not diminish at all. Listen to the protection of the Tao? Is this person the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha?

He took the initiative to release the magic circle, and a gap of more than ten meters appeared at the west gate.

"Master Corpse, Madam invites you!"

A hole appeared in the head of the thousand-year-old corpse ghost, and its skull was stuck with rotten flesh and blood, and it couldn't wait to bite Shen Lian.

Whale fall.

Shen Lian no longer held back, and the clouds in the sky gathered towards his fists.

The Kun whale, which was transformed from the true meaning of martial arts, smashed down heavily.

The moment the Kun Whale came into contact with the Millennium Corpse Ghost, the West City Gate collapsed into ruins, and the Millennium Corpse Ghost's facial features could be seen sunken into its skull.

"Be timid in front of monsters, but strike hard against ghosts."

Shen Lian followed the thousand-year-old corpse ghost into Yanliang Town. Then there was a muffled sound that echoed for ten miles. The demon's head rolled out from the gap, dying with its eyes open.

Ma Wanhu swallowed his saliva, "The reincarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Impossible, he doesn't look like a Buddhist, he looks more like a demon!"

"Corpse Taoist, Madam invites you!!"

The corpse ghost's screams became louder and louder, and it abandoned the Jinwu Guards and pounced towards Shen Lian.

Ma Wanhu suddenly realized something. Could it be that the corpse Taoist was referring to this person? Wasn't it that the White Bone Cave was inviting him to the cave?

The city is full of zombies...is it a gift?

Who is he?
