I can't be a demon.

Chapter 49 You call this a warrior?
Shen Lian traveled around Xicheng District, judging the strength of the monsters by the smell they emitted, and found that most of them had only been practicing Taoism for fifty or sixty years.

"The number of fish monsters is still increasing. I feel like the government is a bit out of control. Or are they planning to raise fish to cause trouble?"

There was a hint of eagerness in Shen Lian's eyes.

The fish monster in Yanliang Town was obviously attracted by humans. It was most likely the newly recruited Captain Jinwu Guard who wanted to make a fortune from it.

He couldn't help but feel restless.

Anyone can kill demons, and it is the duty of every citizen to kill demons and eliminate evil.

Shen Lian secretly exerted his strength and headed towards the location where the fishy smell was the strongest. If nothing unexpected happened, at least two fish monsters would appear.

.........

Inside the dilapidated ancestral hall.

Twenty people led by Zhu Yihong were on high alert. There was a thick fog around them and they could barely detect figures moving around.

Zhu Yihong held a fish monster doll woven with hair in her hand. As soon as she locked onto the monster's breath, she would immediately pierce the doll's chest and abdomen with her sword.

The fish monster screamed miserably, but its ferocity became more and more intense.

Compared with ghosts, monsters have extremely strong vitality. What's more, the fish monsters in the ancestral hall appear in groups, which makes them extremely troublesome.

She could see that the other yamen runners were a little panicked.

After all, warriors can hardly fight against demons. Even though the runners had talismans to protect them in the soul-calling case, they still lost their weapons when facing the ghosts.

"Captain Hong, even if the monsters that attacked us are of low level, if a few more appear, my skills won't be enough to ensure that they can all be wiped out."

"understood."

Captain Hong gritted his teeth and pointed at two senior yamen runners.

"Old Chen, Old Li, come with me to seal the well and cut off the monster's water source. Then we can catch the turtle in the jar."

"it is good."

The bailiffs cooperated well with each other, and two of them immediately followed Captain Hong with knives in hand.

They came to the backyard and took out the stone slabs that had been prepared in advance. The surface of the slabs was covered with talismans, making it difficult for ordinary demonic forces to harm them.

Captain Hong shouted loudly: "Master Zhu, cover us."

Zhu Yihong twisted the doll's neck without hesitation, and used her internal force to stimulate her hair to transform into chains to bind the doll's limbs. Suddenly, a muffled sound of a fish monster falling to the ground was heard from the side room next door.

She breathed a sigh of relief. "The fish monsters are scattered all over Yanliang Town. It shouldn't be possible..."

Zhu Yihong suddenly realized that the evil spirit in the air became more turbid, and the rustling noise did not slow down at all.

"Oh no, there are three fish monsters in the ancestral hall!!!"

Zhu Yihong hurried to the backyard, but it was obviously too late.

She could hear the monster's heavy breathing, and the greed contained in it was beyond words, as it wanted to devour all the blood and food around it.

Two deformed mermaid monsters emerged from the mist.

Zhu Yihong released his internal strength, intending to focus on taking out one first.

"what?"

However, what surprised Zhu Yihong was that the fish monster suddenly and impatiently dived back into the water mist before it even got close to Captain Hong and his two companions.

It seems to give up the blood food that is so close to it.

pat pat pat.

Heavy footsteps came from far away.

"Who?"

Zhu Yihong felt as if facing a formidable enemy. It was obvious that the person coming was specifically targeting the monster. The aura he exuded was as tangible as substance, and his heart was beating like a drum.

"Musha?"

Zhu Yihong frowned slightly, the man did not hide his energy at all.

The abundant energy and blood far exceeded that of ordinary warriors, and even caused the mist in the ancestral hall to surge, causing the fish monster to change its target instinctively.

A dozen yamen runners are no match for Shen Lian.

“That’s impossible. Why would a warrior come here to die? Even if he reaches the fifth level of the innate realm, a warrior can only deal with the temptation of demons…” Zhu Yihong was speechless before he could finish his words.

A nearly three-meter-tall behemoth broke into the ancestral hall, its entire body covered with rock-hard muscles and its exposed blood vessels glowing with a metallic luster.

"hiss……"

Zhu Yihong took a breath of cold air.

She had never seen a warrior who could achieve inhuman levels of physical training. It was simply unheard of. She herself was the ultimate interpretation of martial arts.

At the same time, the other party also has very serious peculiarities.

The entire upper body is covered with dense scales, and the eyes have vertical pupils like animals.

The reason why Shen Lian dares to act recklessly is because his special abilities can be controlled at will. Even for the Jinwu Guards, their special abilities are irreversible.

Who can connect the demon-like man in the black coffin with the young master of the pawn shop?
"Is it horizontal training? And... the breath-holding method of the government?"

"No, he once came to the government office during the soul-calling case, which means his special ability did not affect his intelligence. How did he do that?"

Before Zhu Yihong could investigate further, Shen Lian had already broken down the door of the ancestral hall. His heartbeat reached its peak and he slammed his fist heavily on the ground.

Boom boom boom.

Zhu Yihong stood there in a daze.

The ground was broken into pieces, and the dust raised directly dispersed the water mist.

"kill!!!"

The moment the fish monster was exposed, Shen Lian used his breath-holding technique to the extreme, his skin turned red, and the yin and yang energy around his body turned into faint blue fire.

Use your palm as a knife.

The fish monster's face looked ferocious, as if it wanted to taste the delicious blood.

As a result, the next moment, the fish monster's spine was bent 180 degrees, and the hot yin and yang energy made its internal organs sizzle.

There were a few scratches on Shen Lian's shoulders, but only the scales were broken, and the skin was intact.

Captain Hong's legs went weak and he shouted in disbelief, "It's the Black... Black Coffin Man!!!"

Shen Lian's right hand swung like a windmill.

boom!
The limbs and head of the other fish monster were directly embedded in its body, and the sound of its bones breaking neatly made the onlookers shudder.

Shen Lian kicked the wall to pieces and chased after the last fish monster that was fleeing in panic.

"A warrior, really a warrior?"

Zhu Yihong murmured to himself, Shen Lian completely overturned his understanding of martial arts.

Isn't it true that the only way to fight against demons is to use...internal strength? How did the Black Coffin Man...do it?
Zhu Yihong secretly assessed his chances of fighting the Man with the Black Coffin.

Cold sweat dripped down her forehead. She felt that she only had one chance. After all, the man in the black coffin could get close to her in an instant. Without any defensive weapon, it was simply unrealistic to protect her vital points with her internal strength.

Logically speaking, given the Black Coffin Man's peculiarities, it is impossible for him to hide in Yanliang Town.

Shen Lian grabbed the surviving fish monster by the neck and walked slowly towards the crowd.

The neck was broken with a snap, and blood dripped from the fingertips. There was clearly demonic energy corroding the flesh and blood, but Shen Lian did not react at all.

Everyone is on pins and needles.

Shen Lian picked up the other two pieces of flesh that could not be called corpses, then jumped away with force and disappeared, with spider-web-like cracks spreading.

Captain Hong swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously, "Master Zhu, since the Black Coffin Man has intervened...what should we do?"

Zhu Yihong said in a deep voice: "Let's see how the captain reacts. It's hard to say whether the man in the black coffin is an alchemist, but his strength... is extraordinary."

She took out the communication talisman, but it was dim.

"not good!"

[Mind Transmission Talisman] Two pieces are included in a set and need to be refined by the blood of the Jinwu Guards.

Yang Weichang might have been in danger, otherwise the talisman would not have lost its effect.

Zhu Yihong sucked in a breath of cold air and looked up at the deep and endless darkness. Ever since the thousand-year-old demon appeared, Yanliang Town was filled with danger.
