Demon Emperor

Chapter 26 The Cunt Man
The sky had completely darkened, and a dark cloud appeared out of nowhere, obscuring the crescent moon, making it so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

At this time, evil creatures should come out to devour people.

At this moment.

The area inside and outside the West Market gate tower was packed with people, their shoulder armor clanging softly, and their bows and crossbows strung tightly in their hands.

Ruan Hu stood by the weeping willows under the bridge in the distance, gazing at the deep, secluded gate tower in the distance, and then looked up at the sky.

Logically speaking, the weather tonight doesn't seem suitable for taking action.

But since we've come this far, we can't back down now.

Moreover, things should be done sooner rather than later. Who knows how many more people with the surname Ruan that treacherous man will eat after tonight, or if his evil magic and witchcraft will increase even further.

More importantly, the goal is to catch the people and forces behind those treacherous individuals off guard, to strike them unexpectedly.

Yuchi Chongwu glanced at the emperor, and seeing that the other party nodded, he immediately cupped his hands in a gesture and made a gesture towards the gate tower.

"on!"

The imperial guards, who had been lying in ambush on all sides, immediately pressed forward upon receiving the order.

There were two rows of shelves in front of the gatehouse, and the shelves were empty.

Normally, when the market is open, the shelves are filled with large lanterns, each about two feet tall, stacked in five or six layers, and lit up as soon as night falls.

At this moment, the soldiers were prepared. They climbed the scaffold and quickly hung up the lanterns on the West Market gate tower, lighting them one by one.

Groups of people held up torches, and the light instantly dispelled the darkness, illuminating the surroundings.

Such a commotion also awakened the people who hid in the West Market gate tower, who were active at night and hid during the day.

"Wake up! There's movement downstairs."

"Someone."

"So many people."

"Who?"

"Oh no, it's the Imperial Guards."

There was a commotion inside the gatehouse; people could hear voices from above even from below.

Upon seeing that they were surrounded by armored warriors, the men were immediately terrified and scattered in all directions.

The Imperial Guards downstairs also saw the figures above and, without saying a word, immediately fired arrows at them.

"what!"

Two men hiding on the gate tower peered down and were immediately shot dead. One let out a scream, while the other didn't even have time to scream.

Someone rushed out of the gatehouse and, seeing the dark mass of people outside, actually tried to chant incantations and perform magic.

But before he could even finish his curse, the man stomped his foot and was stabbed to death.

Another, in a panic, dodged the arrows and jumped off the gate tower, breaking his leg in the fall. He was then dragged down alive by the swords and spears of the Imperial Guards amidst screams and howls.

Several soldiers quickly dragged the corpses and escorted the prisoners backward, disappearing into the enemy formation.

The army cleared a gap, then immediately closed it again, still maintaining their formation and facing the gate tower.

At this moment, the man-eating monster on the gate tower finally awoke.

Dark clouds loomed overhead.

Red lights were flashing downstairs.

Accompanied by a strange, inhuman scream, a gust of wind swept up, and an invisible shadow leaped down from the gatehouse.

"kill!"

"what?"

"I can't see it!"

The evil creature finally burst out, charging and crashing about wildly, like a tiger or elephant crashing into a crowd, causing chaos and disarray.

Although the Imperial Guards were prepared, they were still terrified and sweating profusely when faced with the unseen monster.

Even if it's a vengeful ghost, it's still visible; the Imperial Guards have seen them before.

What you can't see is the most terrifying.

The greatest fear comes from the unknown, from scaring yourself with your own inner fears.

"We've arrived here."

"Block it quickly."

"Push it back down, don't let it run away."

The crowd wielded knives and spears, slashing and stabbing wildly into the empty space. No one could see the treacherous creature, and the situation was extremely critical.

If more casualties occur at this rate, the soldiers' morale will likely plummet, and the evil creature will break through the encirclement, making it extremely difficult to capture it.

However, Ruan Hu was prepared. When Yu Chi Chongwu saw the evil creature appear, he immediately shouted behind him.

"take it out."

A group of people from behind the army rushed out carrying huge winnowing baskets and poured them onto the area where the unseen evil was rampaging.

The flour inside was sprinkled on the other person, completely revealing their figure.

This time.

The soldiers finally saw clearly what it was.

The creature's head resembled that of a tiger, but its body was much smaller. It lay on the ground, lunging and thrashing about.

The soldiers took aim and unleashed a volley of arrows, which struck the evil creature.

"Roar!"

After letting out a scream, the other side finally dared not charge any further, and retreated, knocking over the frame on the gate tower. The lantern rolled over, and the frame was instantly set ablaze, falling onto the lantern.

A raging fire broke out, igniting the frame and burning the purple robe on the evil creature, causing it to scream even more miserably.

At that moment, something unexpected happened in the sky.

"Boom!"

The originally dark sky finally couldn't hold back any longer and started to pour down rain, extinguishing the fire on the evil creature and even washing away the flour on its body.

This not only freed the evil creature from its predicament, but it might even be able to escape.

Ruan Hu looked up at the sky and frowned.

But Ruan Hu was still prepared.

Before the evil creature could catch its breath, a line of soldiers rushed out with nets, and then threw out fishing nets to ensnare the evil creature.

"We caught it."

"Tighten, tighten."

"Wrap it up again, so it can't break free."

Layer upon layer of fishing nets tightened around your body, rendering you powerless to use any strength or strange abilities you might possess.

Dozens of soldiers pulled the net to catch the evil creature, and rows of soldiers pressed down on it, thrusting their spears into its body.

The evil creature cried out even louder and struggled even more fiercely, its immense strength causing everyone to sway from side to side.

At this moment, Ruan Hu finally stepped forward.

This time, Ruan Hu did not bring the Emperor's Sword; instead, he wore armor and carried a long saber.

As they approached, they heard the treacherous man panting heavily, like a wild beast.

As Ruan Hu approached, the treacherous man seemed to smell his scent, and thus began to shout, speaking in human language.

"Ruan Hu!"

"Ruan Hu!"

"Where are you? Where are you..."

The voice was filled with resentment, anger, and unwillingness; it blamed all its current predicament on Ruan Hu.

Ruan Hu stepped forward and heard the treacherous man shout.

"It's all over, it's all your fault, it's all your fault."

"My Great Sheng Dynasty, with its three-hundred-year foundation, will perish in the hands of you incompetent brat."

"My Nguyen clan is destined to perish at your hands!"

"Ruan Hu, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

The man looked around, and there were shadowy figures everywhere in the darkness. The lightning illuminated one outline after another, but he couldn't tell which one was the real Ruan Hu.

"Ruan Hu, come out here."

"come out."

"Aren't you afraid to see me?"

"You are destined to be a doomed ruler, are you afraid? Are you afraid?"

The treacherous man's voice was like thunder, even drowning out the real thunder in the sky.

"Since my Great Sheng is doomed, I might as well devour you all and let you die by my hand."

"come out."

"Let me eat you, eat you."
