Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 10: Vertical Pupil Man

When Chu Tianshu arrived here, several militiamen also arrived on the other side.

The sound of the gong was originally used to notify the militia.

Those men were all young and strong men in the town. They did not wear any uniform. Only two of them carried rifles, while the others were holding steel blades and black iron spears.

But they seemed to be very adaptable to this bloody scene. They just paused slightly and then went to the corpse to observe the wound.

"The body wasn't even cold yet. It belonged to Liao Ayong, a bamboo craftsman. He seemed to have been killed by a wild wolf."

The militia asked the night watchman again, and the night watchman only said that when he turned to this road, he saw blood all over the ground and was so scared that he immediately rang the gong.

Chu Tianshu also saw that there were tooth holes and bite marks on the body, and some flesh was missing from the thigh.

But if it was really a wild beast, why did it know how to hide before killing? After killing the person, why was there no howling sound, and no signs of dragging the corpse or continuing to devour it?
He looked around and secretly entered a psychic state, but found no signs of any evil remaining.

The townspeople nearby have started talking about it.

"I'm afraid this is the work of wolves again. Hungry wolves and wild dogs usually won't just nibble on a small piece of living thing. Only those used to eating humans will pounce on the neck, mainly to drink the blood from the neck."

"Yes, the wolf we killed a few years ago killed eight people. The hair on the tip of its tail was red."

"No, I have to go back and find some boards to seal up the windows, and I have to secure the door from the inside. I don't know how long it will take to catch him this time."

Chu Tianshu couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

He had not had much dealings with wild beasts in modern times, and the supernatural events he encountered were basically evil creatures transformed from human souls.

Could it really be a beast, the kind that hasn't reached the level of evil, but is already cruel and cunning enough?

Yizhou is mountainous, and in this war-torn era, it doesn't seem surprising that some particularly cunning beasts appear in large numbers.

Too bad these paths are all dirt roads.

Even if a wild animal bites a person, as long as there is not too much blood on its claws and it walks past on the dirt road, it will not leave any obvious clues.

I wonder if there’s any chance of catching the beast and avenging this poor man.

"Stop looking around here and go home and hide."

The militia began to drive the crowd away. The two men with rifles were brave enough to let the others stay here while they went to report to the captain.

Chu Tianshu had no idea what to do if he stayed here, so he turned and left the road, preparing to go back to the restaurant along the small street.

The few militiamen who stayed behind noticed that he was walking alone and couldn't help whispering to each other.

"Who is that kid? How dare he walk so slowly after seeing something like this? Why doesn't he rush home?"

"He seems to be a friend of Young Master Meng. He has studied abroad. He must be a capable person."

"Since he's not afraid and hasn't asked for our help, let's not get involved."

Chu Tianshu had already turned the corner and disappeared from the militia's sight.

He was indeed not walking fast, but compared to his previous mentality of taking a walk home, he was now much more cautious.

The past twenty days have been so fulfilling and the town has been relatively peaceful, so the initial nervousness of arriving in a different world has long since faded away.

What happened just now made him realize again that he is now truly living in a cruel era.

A glimpse of the whole picture shows that the militiamen from just a few small towns were accustomed to seeing such a miserable corpse.

This seemingly bustling, peaceful and tranquil town is actually a place that has long been accustomed to seeing blood.

As Chu Tianshu was walking, he suddenly felt something strange and turned to look behind him.

The road behind him was empty, with only moonlight and the shadows of houses, and the shadows hid the residents' belongings.

He looked up again and saw nothing on the roofs on both sides, only a thin layer of water vapor.

There was still a gleam in Chu Tianshu's eyes. He drooped his eyelids and turned back to continue walking.

Just as he took a step forward, the hair on the back of his neck stood up, his body suddenly tilted and he rushed forward.

The sudden acceleration caused his slightly loose robe to make a noticeable "rustling" sound in the quiet night air.

The mist and dust on the ground rose upwards due to air disturbance.

Bang! ! !
The mist had just risen when it was smashed down and shattered in an instant.

The black figure pounced on the street like a cheetah.

His feet fell, and his claws grabbed the place where Chu Tianshu had just stood.

The black headscarf, the black tights, and the dark, thin face definitely showed that he was not from this town.

After missing the target, his squinting eyes suddenly opened, his eyeballs turned green, and his pupils stood upright like shuttles.

This pounce was a skill he had honed over and over again. He flipped over from the roof and pounced down, but he still felt his fall was not fast enough, so he kicked with his legs to speed up.

If Chu Tianshu had hidden somewhere else just now, he might not have been able to escape.

But humans are rushing forward much faster than they are moving in other directions.

The man in black missed his target and his feet hit the ground. His body had to sink to cushion the impact and he was a beat slower.

In just a moment, Chu Tianshu rushed to the wall and grabbed the abandoned table.

The wooden table was unpainted, three of its four legs were broken, and it weighed no more than thirty or forty pounds.

But Chu Tianshu grabbed the remaining table leg with one hand, twisted his waist and hips, and threw the thirty or forty kilograms of weight backwards.

The momentum is still fierce enough.

The tabletop flipped left and right and was about to hit the man in black, but suddenly it stopped in mid-air and there was a cracking sound.

The two claws punched through the table top, and the arms spread out, tearing the rotten wooden table into pieces.

The wood shattered, and the interior of the tabletop was partially hollowed out. As the wood crumbled, small white insects within flew into the air. The attack was intense, without a moment's pause. The sharpened silver needles arrived suddenly, piercing the insect's body and shooting towards the man in black's forehead.

Ding ding ding! ! !
Three extremely subtle metallic collision sounds.

The man in black grabbed three times with his hands as the wood chips flew everywhere.

He caught all three silver needles.

Chu Tianshu had already rushed back at this time, stretching his arms as far as he could, and reaching out with all his strength to grab the forearms of the man in black.

The bamboo, as thick as a bowl, was not dry or diseased, and had plenty of moisture. The bamboo skin was tough, but it could be broken by Chu Tianshu's palm.

If you grab an ordinary person's forearm with this kind of force, the skin will crack, the flesh will become bloody and dented, and the bones will be broken.

But at this time he caught the man in black, and the man in black immediately let out a shrill scream like a wild cat whose tail was stepped on.

The two forearms wrapped in black cloth shook and twitched violently, and the diameter of the arms seemed to shrink a little, and the five fingers of the palms were all gathered into pointed cones.

Just as Chu Tianshu's hands felt a little firm, he felt his palms go empty and his knuckles were rubbed violently by the fabric.

He closed his palms quickly enough, digging his fingertips inwards towards his palms, but he still only had time to tear off a layer of cloth and pull something off the black-clad man's fingers.

The man in black had already kicked at the same time, and his knee hit Chu Tianshu's groin.

Chu Tianshu's knees were raised at this time, and when they collided with each other, his flesh and blood body made a sound like heavy wooden blocks colliding.

Both of them lost their footing, staggered a few steps, and retreated.

The man in black crouched low, his feet in a bow stance, his hands shaped into claws, pressing forward in front of him, like a tiger or leopard hunting.

Chu Tianshu slammed his heels on the dirt road, steadied himself, and threw the thing in his hand forward.

In addition to the two rags, there were ten knuckles that appeared to be made of steel and painted black.

The man in black didn't grab the silver needle with his bare hands, but used these finger sleeves to block it.

Chu Tianshu glanced at the finger gloves and remembered the wounds on the corpse.

In addition to the beast's fangs, this kind of finger sleeve combined with strong enough finger force should be enough to cause such a tragic situation.

"You killed the bamboo craftsman. Who are you and why did you attack me?"

Chu Tianshu's eyes were fierce and his face was angry, but his voice was low.

If a person wants to shout loudly, draw air from the chest and abdomen, and produce high-pitched sounds, it will be difficult to use enough strength in the limbs, and the reaction will be slower.

Chu Tianshu didn't dare to reveal such a flaw in front of this man in black.

The man in black did not answer. His facial muscles were tense, his teeth were bared, and a vibrating low voice came from his throat, causing his lips and teeth to tremble slightly.

It looked exactly like a wild beast trying to intimidate its enemies, with blood stains on its teeth.

But when wild beasts encounter an enemy they cannot deal with, they are very likely to want to escape.

The eyes and breathing of this man in black revealed that he wanted to eat Chu Tianshu alive. He had no intention of retreating, only malice as strong as smoke.

Chu Tianshu stared at the man in black intently, his wrist hanging by his side slowly turning, with conspicuous blue veins spreading from his forearm to the back of his hand, clenched into a fist.

Neither of them wanted to blink, but eye fatigue was beyond human control.

When bloodshot appeared on the whites of Chu Tianshu's eyes and his eyes widened, he couldn't help but blink.

Whew! It really happened in the blink of an eye.

The man in black had already rushed in front of him, his claws whirling in the wind. Even though his iron-blue nails were not as good as steel knuckles, they were probably enough to leave deep claw marks on the brick wall, and swept towards his face where his defense was the weakest.

But there was a loud explosion in the air.

A fist suddenly swung from below and hit the black-clad man's forearm accurately.

Bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
Between the two figures, it was like a series of firecrackers exploding.

The man in black used his hands to continuously attack the opponent's head, face, neck, genitals and waist.

But Chu Tianshu always managed to hit his opponent with his fist and smash his arm.

Tongbeiquan, the white ape is revealed!

The branches of the tall trees were covered with dewdrops, which fell down when the wind blew.

The white ape guarding under the tree was startled and suddenly punched out with both hands, hitting the dew in the wind.

This punch unleashes a shocking and explosive force, and it is the fastest punch ever.

What's more important is that this move is meant to train a fighting method that does not rely entirely on vision.

The white ape was shocked and relied on his vision, hearing, and even a little intuition.

Chu Tianshu has mastered both spiritualism and boxing, and the effect of this move is the most mature of all his moves.

The man in black found that his forearms were always being hit, so he knew something was wrong. Relying on the stimulation of the collision, he actually burst out at an even faster speed.

A strand of hair on Chu Tianshu's left forehead was blown off, and the cloth on the right side of his waist was torn.

The crack looked like it was cut by several blades in parallel.

He narrowly avoided being hurt, but the hairs on his back still stood on end, his teeth clenched, and his left hand shot out like a spring.

The strong fist, filled with anger, hit the arm sweeping from the left again.

The man in black's attack failed, and pain began to surge in his arms, causing his hands to slow down slightly.

Chu Tianshu's eyelids shrank, and in a flash, almost instinctively, he threw a fist towards the black-clothed man's face.
