I can't be a demon.

Chapter 60 [Bronze Body Dharma]

At night, there was no light in any of the urban areas of Yanliang Town.

The attitude of the yamen runners towards the fish disaster case inevitably made the people feel uneasy, but fortunately, the strange spring rain finally stopped on the eighth day.

Inside the Shen family pawnshop.

Shen Hansheng and others chose to rest in the lobby.

After all, if there really is a "flood", they can escape as soon as possible, and at the same time take care of Shen Lian who is still in seclusion in the backyard.

"Hey, Ah Lian, you can practice martial arts and retreat at any time, but you had to pick such a good day."

"Boss, although the flood came strangely, at least there are seven or eight Jinwu Guards guarding Yanliang Town, so there won't be any trouble."

Shen Hansheng nodded and couldn't help but look towards the backyard.

Most of the mist had dissipated, and Shen Lian was sitting cross-legged at the foot of the banyan tree. With every breath, a white mist was constantly circling around his mouth and nose.

Apart from three meals a day, Shen Lian hardly moves.

"Ah~ Where are Mr. Ba's peanuts?"

The starling was clamoring to satisfy its craving. Shen Hansheng was afraid that the noise would cause trouble, so he quickly asked Fugui to get a bag of red-skinned peanuts from the wooden rack.

There were two servants, one was responsible for combing the starling's feathers, and the other was responsible for feeding it peanuts.

"Ah~ Serve Master Ba well, Shen Lian won't treat you badly~"

Shen Hansheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ever since Myna started hanging out with Shen Lian, his temper had gotten out of control and no one in the pawnshop dared to offend him.

He was just about to make a few jokes when he suddenly heard footsteps in the darkness outside the door.

pat pat pat.

Everyone felt as if their backs were pierced by a thorn, and they didn't even dare to breathe too hard, because no one knew whether the footsteps outside the door were those of a human or a monster.

A moment later, a distorted black shadow appeared at the door through the moonlight.

Their pupils couldn't help but shrink and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. Only the starling glanced at them with disdain and continued to eat peanuts.

The black shadow seemed to notice something and ran to the other end of the street using all four limbs.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

They faintly heard the news of fighting between yamen runners in various parts of the city. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. They only hoped that the yamen could put an end to this once and for all problem.

In anxiety, everyone waited until midnight.

The number of demons roaming the streets and alleys seemed to be decreasing, but the continuous spring rain happened again, which was creepy.

Rumble.

The pawn shop shook, as if something heavy had hit the ground somewhere in Xicheng District.

Before they could react, the sound of rapid gongs rang out, and the entire Xicheng District began to boil, with people rushing to evacuate.

Shen Hansheng stood up and said, "We should wake up Shen Lian and head to the market immediately. If we are any later, we might be in danger."

"Boss, I understand."

The guy simply packed up his things and Shen Hansheng went to the backyard.

At this moment.

thump.

The building shook again, and everyone stopped in their tracks. Then the wine jars on the shelf fell to the ground, and the wine splashed everywhere.

None of the other guys realized it, only Shen Hansheng turned his head belatedly.

The wine formed a large water stain, with waves on the surface.

Shen Hansheng's pupils shrank slightly.

He found that something was wrong with the water stains. They were spreading on the ground, and the volatile alcohol smell was mixed with an indescribable stench.

It tastes like fish that has been dead for a long time.

Uh uh uh.

Everyone looked towards the water stain with tingling scalps, and a scaly arm stretched out from it, followed by the hideous head of a fish monster.

The fish monster retains most of the characteristics of fish, which shows that its cultivation is still in its infancy.

But no matter how powerful a demon is, it is still a demon. How can mortals defeat it?

Shen Hansheng therefore realized why the government was so concerned about water sources, as if demons could travel through the plane of water flow.

Immediately afterwards, another fish monster came out and crawled flexibly on the wall.

The two fish monsters moved one in front and one behind, blocking the retreat route with extremely fast movements.

They had already treated the people in the pawn shop as meat on the chopping block, intending to have a feast, the temptation of blood food was irresistible. The fish monster licked the scales excitedly, already imagining the scene of skinning and gutting them.

When the mynah bird saw the silly look of the fish monster, it couldn't help but lose interest.

When Ding blocked Shen Hansheng, he drew out his sword for self-defense.

Shen Hansheng said softly, "The two of you find a chance to fight your way out of the backyard. Don't worry about me and Old Wang. Meet up with Shen Lian and flee to the market."

"The shopkeeper..."

The fish demon couldn't wait to pounce, and the pungent demonic aura filled the air.

However, the moment the fish monster approached the crowd, it retreated as if facing a powerful enemy, staring at the corridor leading to the courtyard with fear.

The corridor was covered with mist.

There was a huge creature looming, with scales standing up all over its limbs, its eyes filled with murderous intent, and there seemed to be a long tail swinging behind it.

"A monster that's only four or five years old?"

"Te!"

Everyone heard the sound of spitting.

Whoosh.

Then a spit flashed by and hit the fish monster right between the eyebrows. Blood burst out from the back of its head. It was obvious that the saliva had gone straight through the skull.

The fish demon fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Shen Lian has returned to normal and walked out of the courtyard unsteadily.

The other fish monster sensed the threat and retreated while letting out a shrill roar. The man who appeared not far away made it very afraid.

"They are just small fish and shrimps. It seems that it is not time for the Jinwu Guards to take real action yet."

Shen Lian ignored the fish monster and helped Shen Hansheng up. Everyone looked at each other, unable to imagine that the monster was so vulnerable.

The surviving fish monster returned to the water stain and tentatively tried to dive into it.

boom.

Shen Lian disappeared on the spot and kicked, and half of the fish monster's body was instantly separated, while its limbs still maintained the movement of preparing to escape.

The starlings were quacking loudly.

Shen Hansheng opened his mouth slightly, and finally had a direct feeling of Shen Lian's strength.

Qiang, you are worthy of being my son.

The others had no idea at all, they only knew that Shen Lian was gifted.

Shen Lian threw the two fish monster corpses into the banyan tree hole. After going back and forth in the courtyard, everyone realized that they had to evacuate to the market.

"Time is running out."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. He thought that the Jinwu Guards might be planning to lure out all the fish monsters in the underground river to protect the people and also use them as bait.

"Ah Lian, then..."

"Don't worry, the Jinwu Guards will deal with most of the demons. Even if there are some scattered demons, they will not notice the inconspicuous pawn shop."

Shen Hansheng didn't know why, but he always felt that Shen Lian was eager to try.

Everyone has not yet recovered from the shock of Shen Lian killing the demon, but since the latter can deal with ordinary demons, they can be considered to have a backbone.

"Old man, remember I asked the blacksmith to make a copper pot two years ago. Instead of rushing around, why don't we sit down and have something to eat together?"

"what?"

Shen Lian signaled to the waiter to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot, and he picked up the chopsticks and knocked on the dishes.

The guy quickly did as he was told.

Shen Lian chuckled and scanned the career panel.

[Immortal Bronze Body (Bronze Body Dharma)]

"How can a few small monsters be enough to eat? They can't even use one tenth of my strength. Let's wait and see if there are any big fish."

"I just don't know how Master Bai is doing?"

"It should be fine. The fish monsters on the street are obviously released by the Jinwu Guards. Even if the guards cooperate with each other, they can be killed."

"Young Master, the food is here."

Yep.

Eat hotpot first, then eat monsters!!!
