Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 50 There's a demon behind the scenes
Lu Zheng held the treasure in one hand and clenched the other into a fist, rushing towards the female rat demon.

His figure was so fast that it left an afterimage, but in an instant he was in front of the female rat demon.

The punch was so powerful and heavy, with a force of a thousand pounds, that it hit the female rat demon's chest hard.

A crisp sound of bones breaking was heard, and the female rat demon was knocked backwards, hitting the trunk of the big locust tree, making another muffled sound.

The female rat demon was caught off guard and spat out a pool of smelly black blood from her mouth. Her scarlet eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.

The male rat demon next to him was shocked. This guy is a Confucian and Taoist scholar who is both civil and military!
Not only does he possess powerful cultural treasures, he also has such amazing skills.

Even among those human warriors at the second level, few have such a strong physique.

It is said that rats are as timid as mice. Even if these big black rats become monsters, they are still timid and cowardly by nature.

Seeing Lu Zheng display such terrifying strength, the male rat demon no longer cared about the relationship between father and son, or husband and wife. He just wanted to escape and save his own life first.

In panic, it tore off its clothes and leather bag, lunged forward, and ran towards the gate on all fours.

Lu Zheng had been keeping an eye on the male rat demon for a long time. Seeing that the other party was trying to escape, he turned around and chased after him.

The male rat demon quickly walked out of the door. There was a rat demon's body lying beside the door. It was his fourth son.

But he didn't even take a second look and continued to run away.

Lu Zheng followed closely behind. Seeing that the male rat demon was familiar with the terrain and had a flexible body, he couldn't help but take out a treasure from his arms.

If we can't leave anyone alive, we can't let the other party leave.

At this moment, Wang Xiu suddenly jumped out from the dark and appeared on the road, blocking the way of the male rat demon.

When the male rat demon saw that Miss Wang dared to block his way, his heart suddenly turned cold.

It didn't dare to confront Lu Zheng, but it couldn't do anything to a weak ordinary woman?
The male rat demon did not slow down and rushed straight towards Wang Xiu, wanting to grab Wang Xiu and then throw him to Lu Zheng to hinder him.

When Wang Xiu saw the male rat demon approaching, fear and hatred appeared in his eyes.

She quickly raised her hand and held up a piece of paper, which was the Wenbao that Lu Zheng gave her for self-defense.

When the male rat demon saw what Wang Xiu took out, his pupils shrank and his heart skipped a beat.

However, it was moving too fast and had no time to stop, so it could only twist its body forcefully and deviate slightly in direction.

In an instant, the treasure in Wang Xiu's hand shone with brilliance, and his righteous energy condensed into a murderous intent, bombarding the male rat demon.

Although the male rat demon dodged in advance, he still couldn't escape.

It was hit on the shoulder and back by the righteous energy at once, and its entire right arm fell off. Its back was covered with scars and bleeding.

"what!"

The male rat demon screamed in pain and rolled on the ground several times.

It endured the severe pain and wanted to turn over and continue to run away, but it felt someone stepped heavily on its back and could not move.

A sharp sword was already placed at its neck.

The male rat demon bared his teeth and took a few breaths of cold air.

"Please spare my life, scholar, please spare my life! I have no other choice!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the male rat demon immediately begged for mercy.

Lu Zheng discovered that these newly awakened monsters were all of the same character. They were not afraid of anything when harming people, but once they were about to die, they would start begging for mercy.

Wang Xiu approached with the treasure in her hand. Although the treasure in her hand had been activated once, its power still remained.

Waves of righteous energy struck the male rat demon, causing it to scream in agony. Seeing this, Lu Zheng said, "Miss Wang, please put your things away and stay away. I still need to ask it something."

Although Wang Xiu wanted to kill the monster, he also knew that the more important thing was to take a few steps back and took Wen Bao into his arms.

Lu Zheng heard some noise coming from other places in the Wang family compound, and thought that someone was awakened by the noise.

He continued, "I've already killed one rat demon. Another is unconscious in the backyard. The other two are still missing... You have a treasure with you that can identify demons. Find a few trustworthy servants to guard the backyard and tie up the rat demon that's still alive."

"Okay." Wang Xiu nodded heavily and left quickly.

Then, Lu Zheng looked at the rat demon under his feet and tapped its head with his sword.

The rat demon was so frightened that he trembled, "Scholar, spare my life!"

Lu Zheng said coldly, "Stop howling like a ghost. I ask you questions and you answer them. If you say anything nonsense or anything, I will stab you with a sword. Understand?"

"Scholar, ask!" The rat demon endured the pain and dared not scream again.

Lu Zheng asked, "How many demons are there in the Wang family?"

"Five monsters and two ghosts!" the rat monster said hurriedly.

Lu Zheng said, "I killed the ghost that turned into Wang Xiu's maid. Where are the remaining ghost and the other two monsters?"

The rat demon said, "They are not at the Wang family. They are out on business..."

"What's the matter?" Lu Zheng asked.

The rat demon said, "That ghost must be stealing people's yang energy. The other two demons are my two sons. One is disguised as the steward of the Wang family, and the other is disguised as the young master of the Wang family. They often go out to look for people, and they haven't returned tonight."

The so-called "looking for people" is obviously selecting people to serve as fertilizer for the locust tree.

Lu Zheng thought for a moment, "That dead rat at the door was also your son, right? His name was Xiao Si? If so, the number doesn't add up!"

As he spoke, Lu Zheng raised his sword and pressed it against the wound on the rat demon's back.

The rat demon gasped in pain and said quickly, "My eldest son is not here! He is working for the king! There are really only the seven of us demons here."

Lu Zheng's eyes flickered with a strange color, and he said calmly, "My King?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are here to do this because you sent us here."

There was a hint of grievance in the rat demon's tone, and he wanted to seek Lu Zheng's mercy.

Lu Zheng said calmly, "I want to ask about it, not listen to your complaints."

As he spoke, the sharp tip of the sword pierced into the rat demon's flesh.

A sharp pain spread throughout the body, and the rat demon's eyes suddenly widened, and the whole demon became much more energetic.

"I say, I say... My king is a white-haired rat that has transformed into a spirit. He now lives in Jiguan Mountain."

Jiguana Mountain is a mountain in Kaiyang County. It is steep and dangerous and rarely visited by people. It is named because its shape resembles a chicken's comb.

Lu Zheng recalled the map. Jiguana Mountain was not very close to this town. The other party's sphere of influence actually reached this place.

"What is its strength?" Lu Zheng asked again.

"The third realm, able to completely transform, is a handsome man who likes to wear white clothes and robes. The king has many monsters under his command, and the younger ones are not yet of the same level, so they are sent out to do things..."

The rat demon felt extremely regretful. As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.

How can this evil ghost stay hidden in the human world for long?
