Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

South of the city, the Sun residence.

The vermilion gate was tightly closed, and the stone lions in front of it stood solemnly. Inside the high walls, green trees shaded the flying eaves. This was the home of Sun Shouli, the prefectural magistrate who had retired from his post in the prefectural city and returned to his hometown.

The sun is shining brightly, and it is the warmest time of winter, but the house is unusually quiet. Even the usual gatekeeper and servants are nowhere to be seen.

"Right here," Zhou Chen replied as he and Hong Lie stood side by side in front of the door, upon hearing the question.

Upon hearing the chewing sounds coming from the house, he did not return to the martial arts school, but instead ran to the nearby county government office to report to the constables.

As luck would have it, they encountered Hong Lie, who was leading a patrol, and a group of yamen runners before they even reached the county government office.

"Boss, this is Lord Sun's residence. It would be one thing if they found traces of cannibalistic monsters breaking in, but..."

"If this is just a feint, we'll inevitably be implicated by the county magistrate later," a constable said, stepping closer.

"Yes, boss, Lord Sun usually prefers peace and quiet, we shouldn't disturb him so abruptly..."

Before the other constable could finish speaking, Hong Lie raised his hand to interrupt him.

"It is true that Lord Sun prefers quiet, but even so, there should be a gatekeeper to greet guests outside. There must be something fishy going on here."

He didn't send anyone to scout ahead; his silk boots stomped silently as he walked to the vermilion gate and knocked on it with his fingers.

"Knock knock knock..."

The moment the knocking sound rang out, the subtle chewing sound sensed by the telepathic abilities abruptly stopped.

"Is Lord Sun at home? Recently, there have been many monsters in the city that eat people. I have been ordered to come and protect you." Hong Lie knocked a few times but received no response. His brows furrowed into a deep frown, and he suddenly spoke.

blah blah...

Inside the Sun family mansion, only the sound of footsteps that Zhou Chen could hear indicated that something was approaching.

"Could it be that he's gone back to the county town to visit old friends?" Hong Lie shook his head, turned and gave a wink to the group of constables, then turned and walked away on his own.

Before he had taken more than a few steps, Hong Lie gripped the straight knife at his waist and turned around at an extraordinary twisting angle.

The next moment, a large, silk-booted foot slammed into the vermilion gate.

The heavy, vermilion-lacquered gate rattled and snapped, opening wide in an instant.

There were no shouts, screams, or panic, only the deep courtyard and the murmuring stream.

Hong Lie stepped into the mansion, his brows furrowed, and his blade flashed upwards with a strong wind, bringing out a chilling glint.

"Waaah..."

One after another, hairless monsters, about half the size of a human, jumped down from the top of the gate, landing on all fours with red eyes.

The exposed fangs were still covered with bright red bits of meat.

With Hong Lie, who had reached the Inner Strength Refinement Realm, leading the way, the four-legged monster, despite its terrifying appearance, did not frighten the constables in the slightest. They swarmed into the courtyard to support Hong Lie.

Zhou Chen, carrying a crimson staff, followed behind the group, his internal energy surging.

The monsters crouching at the door were not very powerful, and Hong Lie and his constables easily eliminated them.

"Haha, those annoying ogres are finally dead! I can finally go home and see my wife!" Someone exclaimed excitedly as the last ogres were killed.

During the period when the man-eating monster was causing trouble, in addition to constables like Hong Lie patrolling day and night, ordinary yamen runners, even if they did not participate in the patrols, had to wait in the police station and be ready to be dispatched later.

They have been extremely exhausted these past few days.

"There's more inside," Zhou Chen frowned and reminded him.

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's reminder, the constables paused, their expressions turning serious.

Even those who had previously suspected Zhou Chen of fabricating his report did not dare to underestimate him.

After all, the monster's corpse in the courtyard had already proven that Zhou Chen's information was true.

Upon hearing this, Hong Lie straightened up and looked towards the main hall of the residence.

"Although Lord Sun is only a civil official in the county town, he is also a martial artist with strong internal cultivation. Even if these monsters launch a sneak attack, they will not prevent him from sending out any messages."

Upon hearing this, the constable's expression turned even more alarmed.

Those who spent every day with Hong Lie were well aware of the power of an Inner Strength Realm Martial Master.

Whether it's a monster entering the city or a vicious criminal, as long as the leader of our own inner stronghold takes action, there's no reason why we can't capture it.

Now, a martial arts master from the inner sect has died quietly here.

"Xiao Liu, go to the yamen immediately and inform the brothers who are waiting to come and provide support."

A young-looking constable responded and left.

Tread!

Hong Lie took the lead and strode towards the inner courtyard.

Gradually, the stench of blood filled the air, growing stronger and stronger.

The group passed through a moon gate and entered the spacious courtyard in front of the main hall of the inner courtyard.

In an instant, everyone was frozen in place, as if under a spell.

Inside the courtyard, corpses were torn apart and separated, and the ground was covered in dark red and yellow blood.

Many of the corpses were reduced to pale skeletons.

In the center of this mansion, which resembled a slaughterhouse, seven or eight monsters were lying on the ground, devouring food.

They were much larger than the monsters at the entrance, with their limbs twisted upside down, landing on their elbows and knees, and the tips of their limbs mutated into black claws.

"Lord Sun!"

Hong Lie stared intently and saw that the corpses of the seven or eight monsters chewing on the ground were none other than Sun Shouli, who was at the Inner Strength Refining Realm.

"vomit--"

Even the constables, who were used to seeing bloody scenes, bent over and began to vomit.

"Form ranks!"

"Charge!"

Hong Lie roared like thunder, and the well-trained constables reacted immediately.

The monsters stopped chewing and stared straight at them, their scarlet eyes devoid of any emotion, only filled with the purest, most primal predatory desire.

"Hiss—!"

With a sharp shriek, seven or eight monsters leaped through the air, propelled by the force of their limbs.

"Kill!" Hong Lie charged forward, meeting the largest monster head-on.

"clang--"

The thick-backed straight blade clashed with the dark, sharp claws, sending sparks flying.

The monster that fought against Hong Lie did not lose in the slightest.

The constables, back to back, formed a battle formation and engaged the monster in fierce combat.

"Oh no, that kid is in danger!" A constable exclaimed in alarm as he watched a monster run towards Zhou Chen instead of being attracted to them.

The next moment, before the constables could react.

Zhou Chen swung his long staff, causing the air to explode, and the tip of the staff struck the center of the monster's ferocious face.

The force penetrated the monster's entire body, and before it could even scream, its head exploded like a watermelon.

On the contrary, the constables, whose cultivation levels varied, were injured by a monster whose strength was roughly at the peak of the Bone Forging stage.

A chilling wind howled, and the constables panicked; the formation seemed on the verge of collapsing.

Zhou Chen frowned, shattered the stone bricks beneath his feet, and charged into the midst of several monsters that were besieging the yamen runners.

"Buzz—"

The air trembled, and the crimson shadows of the sticks resembled streaks of crimson fire, each strike faster than the last, like a vortex of flames.

"Bang bang bang—"

With a series of loud explosions, blood and even brain matter splattered from the monster onto the faces of the constables, sending chills down their spines.

"Where did this ruthless person come from? He strikes so decisively, his club aimed straight for the crown of the head." Some people wondered.

With Zhou Chen's help and the cooperation of several constables, the last few monsters died very quickly.

At the same time, Hong Lie had also severed one of the giant monster's limbs.
