I can't be a demon.

Chapter 82 I Have Three Big Dads to Protect Me
The Gao Mansion was brightly lit, with hundreds of figures inside.

Those figures looked a little bloated, and their heads vaguely resembled pig heads. A large number of ghosts gathered in the mansion in just a few days.

A large number of yamen runners blocked Gao's mansion, but they did not dare to get close.

After being temporarily stationed for half a day, their clothes were already soaked with blood, and the color did not become duller, but became even brighter red.

Just like a wedding dress.

With every step he took towards Gao's mansion, the yamen runner would lose some blood.

As their blood was lost, their intelligence was inevitably affected, which was why a merchant passing by Gao's house died suddenly and inexplicably.

"The Millennium Demon's ability to influence the environment is truly terrifying."

Zhu Yihong's guarding position was closer to Gao's mansion than the yamen runners. Relying on the protection of his inner strength, he barely resisted the invasion of the thousand-year-old demon.

The Jinwu Guards had surrounded Gao's mansion and were somewhat frightened.

Once Hu Zhanfu suppresses the thousand-year-old demon, they must unconditionally cooperate in the encirclement and suppression, but the problem is that the number of ghosts in the mansion is far beyond imagination.

Zhu Yihong glanced at Hu Zhanfu on the outside.

The Gao Mansion was filled with resentment, frost covered the walls, and the temperature was even lower than that of the coldest winter in December.

"Cough cough cough."

A bonfire was lit in front of Hu Zhanfu. He was shivering as if he was old and dying. His forehead was covered with sweat, and his saliva was tinged with blood when he coughed.

Zhu Yihong couldn't help but secretly thought: "Hu Zhanfu is known as the Fox Half-Immortal. I heard that he has some inheritance from alchemists, but he is so weak."

At this time.

Hu Zhanfu had a greedy look on his face as he stared at the dozen or so prisoners escorted by Wang Xin.

"hehe."

He stretched his neck and kept mumbling incoherently.

Wang Xin brought the prisoners to Hu Zhanfu's side. More than a dozen people were frightened by the latter's fox-like appearance and kept backing away.

The prisoners tried to resist, but Hu Zhanfu blew into their mouth.

The air is filled with the smell of foxiness.

The prisoners became unconscious and at the same time, there was a sound of bones colliding all over their bodies. Hu Zhanfu nodded with satisfaction.

In a moment, the appearance of the prisoners changed drastically, and they looked 70% similar to Shen Lian.

"After a vicious and evil person dies in a mansion filled with resentment, he will definitely turn into a ghost and be driven by me to force Shen Lian out of the city."

Hu Zhanfu pasted talismans on their heads to ward off resentment. As he was unable to calm down, his movements and demeanor became more and more like a fox.

The prisoners walked towards Gao's house, their clothes stained with blood.

The gate of Gao Mansion opened.

"Uncle-in-law is here!"

There was an endless stream of gongs and drums as more than a dozen prisoners were welcomed into the mansion.

Wang Xin said, "Captain Hu, I will... wait at the side door of Gao's mansion. If you have any instructions, you can use the telepathic talisman to inform me."

Hu Zhanfu waved his hand.

Wang Xin didn't dare to stay long, as Hu Zhanfu was truly a madman.

Sending a living person to a haunted house, isn't he afraid that the situation will get out of control? You know, there are ghosts in there who have been practicing for nearly a thousand years.

If a second thousand-year-old ghost were to be born, Gao Mansion would completely become a forbidden area.

Hu Zhanfu seemed to see what Wang Xin was thinking, and said coldly: "Do you know why Gao Mansion was built outside the city instead of Yanliang Town?"

"Heh, because the city is the territory of another great demon."

Hu Zhanfu's malicious intent flashed across his face, and he muttered, "If I can't deal with Gao Mansion, I will move Gao Mansion to Yanliang Town, just to see if there is any new cave mansion."

Wang Xin was horrified and looked back at Hu Zhanfu.

The more I look at it, the more it looks like a demon.

He couldn't help but worry about Shen Lian. After all, Hu Zhanfu's methods were too weird.

Wang Xin had already vaguely guessed that Shen Lian was Zhong Kui. He had deliberately told Zhu Yihong the information about Hu Zhanfu in order to use Zhu Yihong to remind Shen Lian to be careful.

result……

After Hu Zhanfu went to the pawnshop, the disciple who followed him disappeared.

Could it be that Shen Lian killed another person?
Hu Zhanfu's internal energy surged, and he seemed to be performing some secret technique to control the behavior of the prisoners in Gao's mansion.

Wang Xin took a breath of cold air.

Suddenly, Hu Zhanfu restrained his inner strength, squinted his eyes and looked towards the south gate.

"Good good."

After hearing Hu Zhanfu's resentful muttering, Wang Xin subconsciously stopped and saw someone slowly walking towards Gao's mansion.

"Shen Lian? It's Shen Lian!!!"

The robe of the man who came was stained with blood, and he exuded a faint sense of strength.

At first glance, he looks like an ordinary warrior, but his aura is extremely powerful. Even when facing a mansion with a thousand-year-old demon, he does not show any fear.

Li Shun looked shocked.

Previously on Xing'an Street, he saw that Zhong Kui was only at the root of tongue stage and thought it was just a trick of the latter. Now, when he observed with his pupils, he found that Zhong Kui was already at the root of nose stage.

My cultivation has been improving all the time, and it doesn't feel like I'm trying to hide it from others.

Could it be that Zhong Kui is really only at the fifth level of the innate realm?
Hu Zhanfu breathed rapidly, "You took the initiative to come here, saving me from wasting my time and effort. A mere warrior should not even think about fighting with an alchemist..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Lian's body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was still over three meters tall, but its body was no longer covered with scales. Instead, its skin was covered with rock-hard muscles with patterns like a spider web.

After the transformation of the stance method, the control over the specificity has been further improved.

"It is certain that the ghosts in Gao's mansion have been around for thousands of years. The environment filled with resentment is also in my favor. It is a sure win."

boom.

Shen Lian exerted force with both legs and took a step forward. The ground within ten meters around him collapsed, and circles of cracks spread for a hundred meters before stopping.

Hu Zhanfu's head tilted and a fist grazed his scalp.

"You... are not an alchemist, but you look too much like one. I must find out what kind of opportunity you have obtained!!!"

Hu Zhanfu's greed could not be suppressed. He was only one step away from becoming a Taoist priest. He recruited a large number of disciples just to have a chance to become a Taoist priest again.

Hu Zhanfu crawled on the ground, unable to wait to pounce on Shen Lian. The sounds coming out of his mouth became inhuman, making the Jinwu Guards' scalps numb.

"Humans are born from human mothers, monsters are born from monster mothers, what the hell are you?"

A white bone spine emerged from Shen Lian's back. After incorporating two horizontal exercises, not only did the spine become stronger, but its flexibility also greatly improved, and it could be used as easily as an arm.

The white bone spine fended off Hu Zhanfu.

Clang.

The bone blade is unsheathed.

In an instant, the sword light covered the open space.

Shen Lian did not turn the bone blade into flesh and blood, but directly performed the horizontal sword move.

The knife flashed silently, but its sharpness made others tremble with fear.

Hu Zhanfu didn't take it seriously. How could a martial art whose true meaning he hadn't even comprehended threaten him?

No matter how strong Shen Lian is, he is just a warrior at the fifth level of the innate realm.

It was not until the knife light approached that Hu Zhanfu couldn't help but panic. The force generated by the sharp weapon actually showed yin and yang colors.

puff.

The knife light penetrated into the flesh and bones.

Hu Zhanfu had a wound on his shoulder that spanned half of his body.

“Ahhh, damn it!”

Rumble.

Shen Lian followed closely behind and landed heavily on Hu Zhanfu's side.

"Captain Hu, the methods of your alchemists are just like children holding swords. It's ridiculous!"

Shen Lian grabbed Hu Zhanfu's shoulder and burst out with terrifying strength.

boom.

A large piece of flesh was torn apart.

"Ahhh!"

Hu Zhanfu muttered a few words, spitting out blood mixed with tongue and flesh.
Shen Lian felt his internal force eroding him, and the skin on his arm suddenly felt strange, as if a living thing was about to be born in his flesh and blood.

Hu Zhanfu's internal strength is very similar to the demonic aura, but it is also very different.

"It's really weird. Even though he's still holding back, it's still very difficult to kill Hu Zhanfu head-on."

Shen Lian laughed strangely a few times and jumped into Gao's mansion without hesitation.

"Don't think you can survive by escaping into a haunted house!"

Hu Zhanfu's eyes were red, and the wound was wriggling. In a few breaths, it was almost healed. Then he crawled into Gao's house on all fours.

The lowly ghosts in Gao's mansion are all transformed from the prisoners who were sent there by themselves. They can be controlled through secret techniques. What can you use to fight me?

"This man's body is extremely strong. I almost fell into his trap. However, since we are both in a haunted house, a warrior has no chance of winning."

"Just find a way to kill him!!"

Hu Zhanfu showed resentment on his face. Judging from Shen Lian's extremely rich blood and energy, as soon as he entered the haunted house, he would definitely attract a large number of ghosts to attack and kill him.

When Shen Lian was seriously injured, I forcibly separated his soul and searched for his memories.

Hu Zhanfu noticed that Shen Lian was walking along the south wall of the courtyard, so he deliberately chose the west wall which was some distance away to prevent Shen Lian from getting close to him.

"Something's wrong."

Hu Zhanfu's expression became more restrained.

Shen Lian was as quiet as a fish swimming into water, but Gao's mansion was still extremely noisy.

Hu Zhanfu's hair stood up all over his body, and he felt an inexplicable sense of threat in his heart again, just like the illusion he had when he was in the pawnshop.

"Exit the haunted house first."

"It's okay. I have implanted a fox-faced talisman in Shen Lian's body. Even if the distance is far, I can still find an opportunity to curse and kill him..."

Hu Zhanfu wanted to return the same way he came.

When he reached the courtyard wall, unspeakable pain penetrated deep into his bones.

Roots suddenly emerged from the soil and wrapped around his feet, devouring his flesh and blood. The demonic aura had begun to erode his meridians.

Hu Zhanfu quickly moved away from the courtyard wall, and the roots disappeared again.

"A plant demon with a thousand-year cultivation?"

"The thousand-year-old demon in the haunted house came from Gao Laozhuang, where did the plant demon come from?!"

Hu Zhanfu breathed rapidly and communicated with the ghosts in Gao's mansion.

"I will use the ghosts to create chaos and escape from Gao's mansion first."

When Hu Zhanfu was about to use his secret technique, he discovered that shadows in various places in Gao's mansion were grinning with bloody mouths. Another unfamiliar demonic aura was not to be outdone, and its power was probably beyond imagination.

At least two thousand years!!!
puff.

Hu Zhanfu vomited blood, and dozens of ghosts lost contact at the same time.

"Ah~ What a nice autumn with cool weather~"

Hu Zhanfu looked around and saw a crow perched on the courtyard wall as if no one was around. Its bloodshot eyes were staring at him from its open beak.

When he was distracted, the crow had disappeared.

"Is it that the cave dwellings in Yanliang Town are preparing to share the ghost house? Wait..."

"Pawn... Pawn shop? I saw that crow in the pawn shop. Also, the banyan tree at the corner of the courtyard wall. Who... who is he?"

Hu Zhanfu was horrified when he thought about it carefully.

"Impossible, Shen Lian has absolutely no connection with the cave. He might be the bait used by the big demon to lure out the thousand-year-old pig ghost."

"I am now trapped in a haunted house. If I want to escape, I must kill Shen Lian!!!"

Hu Zhanfu gritted his teeth and transformed himself into a fox with a human face, searching for Shen Lian in every corner.

"I know the taboos of the Millennium Pig Ghost very well. He will definitely live longer than Shen Lian in Gao Mansion. I will tear every inch of his flesh and blood into pieces!"
