"Run!!"

Seeing that Magistrate Sun Shixin and Sun Yingjie of the Demon Slayer Division had died one after another, the constables present dared not linger any longer.

They scattered like birds and beasts. Some ran towards Xiao Hei at the front gate, some tried to climb over the wall, and some ran directly towards the boy, seemingly wanting to take him hostage.

However, before they could run a few steps, they heard gusts of wind whistling through the air.

A dozen or so palm-sized wind blades flew past, accurately slicing through the necks of these constables.

Only the constable who rushed towards Xiao Hei escaped unharmed.

"As long as I can ride a horse, I can survive!"

The constable, clutching the cloth bag containing silver coins to his chest, ran towards Xiao Hei with all his might.

However, just as he approached Xiao Hei, he heard a hissing sound.

Little Black raised its head, its thick, black forelegs raised, and with a thud, landed heavily on the constable's chest.

How could a martial artist who was only at the first level of the flesh and skin realm possibly withstand the full force of Xiao Hei, who was already at the mid-second level of the flesh and skin realm?

With a cracking sound, the constable's chest caved in.

Blood oozed from his mouth and nose, and he died within a dozen breaths.

"snort!!"

Xiao Hei snorted disdainfully at the constable who lay dead with his eyes wide open.

Who do you think I am? I am the master's number one steed, the master's most loyal mount—Black Wind!

How dare a mere constable lay a hand on me!

"this......"

The boy stared blankly at the corpses scattered on the ground.

At this moment, only Mu Yang, the boy, and the bald, burly man remained standing in the courtyard in front of the county government office.

Mu Yang flicked the bloodstains off his black gold four-sided mace and looked up at the bald, burly man: "Aren't you going to stop me?"

"Why should I stop you? It's a good opportunity to have more blood to eat."

The bald, burly man looked at the corpses around him, his eyes filled with greed.

To be honest, he actually quite liked cooperating with Sun Shixin, after all, the old fat man was very efficient and always made timely offerings.

Unfortunately, his damned mother was blinded by a little dragon from out of town and was preparing to send out all the tributes from Sancha County, including his share.

Left with no other choice, he decided to go ahead and have a big meal in Sancha County before fleeing.

As for whether his mother will be angry then?

What does it have to do with him!

"Tsk~"

Mu Yang glanced at Sun Shixin, who was already dead, and suddenly felt a pang of regret.

It wasn't that he regretted killing him, but rather that he killed him too quickly. He should have let him listen to the bald giant's words and see the consequences of cooperating with demons.

However, I doubt he would do anything even if he heard it.

After all, you can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep.

"You must be a First-Class Demon-Slaying Captain in the Demon-Slaying Division."

The bald, burly man took two steps forward, and as he spoke, his body began to bulge out huge tumors, as if boiling water were being scalded.

The next moment, the sarcoma began to spread rapidly.

Starting from the shoulder blade, the sarcoma gradually enlarges and spreads outward, darkening in color, eventually forming a grayish-blue carapace on the skin surface.

At the same time, its eyeballs bulged out of their sockets, and its height increased several times in just a few breaths.

Its entire body is covered in carapace, and its hands have transformed into a pair of heavy and robust giant pincers, with rows of serrated teeth gleaming with a sharp, cold light on the inside of the jaws.

The bald, burly man disappeared, replaced by an enormous green-shelled crab that was over three zhang tall and almost filled the entire courtyard!

This bald, burly man is a crab demon!

Moreover, judging from the aura it exudes, it is a fifth-tier crab demon!

"A fifth-tier demon, what a pleasant surprise!" Mu Yang thought to himself.

Before coming here, he thought there was only one fourth-level fish demon in Sancha River. Unexpectedly, he encountered a fifth-level crab demon after entering Sancha County!

From what Sun Shixin and others said, it can be learned that there seems to be a monster called the River Goddess in the Three-Forked River!

His strength is estimated to be at least at the fifth rank!

Two level-five monsters in one go, this is a huge profit!

But then again, if there is already a fifth-tier crab demon in Sancha County, does the fourth-tier fish demon in the mission still exist?

But it doesn't matter. The guaranteed harvest of two fifth-tier monsters makes the trip worthwhile!

"Kid, I've been living in seclusion in Sancha River for over twenty years and have never tasted the life of a fifth-tier martial artist. I hope you won't disappoint me!"

The crab demon, now in its true form, roared loudly.

Before the words were even finished, it made a move.

The massive crab claw, as large as a house, slammed down on Mu Yang.

The terrifying power stirred up a gust of wind, even blowing away a boy not far away.

Fortunately, Xiao Hei reacted quickly, grabbing the boy's clothes in its mouth and dragging him to the wall, thus preventing a head injury.

"Thank you so much, Brother Ma!"

The boy, who had survived the ordeal, thanked Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei snorted.

Little brother, don't be so polite.

Meanwhile, in Muyang...

When the crab demon's giant pincers attacked, Mu Yang not only did not dodge or evade, but also put his black gold four-sided mace back into its sheath.

Then, true energy surged from his body and gathered in his palm.

A dark metallic luster shimmered at Mu Yang's fingertips, and the effects of the Spider Spear and the Sharp Gold Tiger Claw were activated simultaneously under the infusion of Radiant Gold True Qi.

Seeing that Mu Yang chose to confront it head-on, the crab demon was overjoyed.

The Green-Shelled Crab Demons are naturally incredibly strong and have amazing defenses, but they don't possess ranged demon blood magic. If Mu Yang were to use wind blades to wear them down from a distance, just like he did when he killed someone, they might have a bit of a headache.

But now, the advantage is on my side!!

Kid, you're going to die!

With the blue-shelled crab demon's confident gaze, Mu Yang's fist, which was no bigger than the crab demon's serrated claws, slammed heavily into its giant pincers.

Then......

"Snap—!!!"

The sound, like ceramic falling to the ground or bones cracking, echoed in the courtyard.

Fine cracks spread out from where the fists collided.

In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire crab claw.

Before the incredulous and horrified eyes of the blue-shelled crab demon, pieces of blue shell peeled off its giant claws and fell to the ground.

"Ah!!! My pliers!!"

The blue-shelled crab demon roared angrily.

A violent demonic aura erupted from his body.

It admits it underestimated its opponent, but now it's going to unleash its strongest weapon...

"Whoosh—!"

Before the Green-Shelled Crab Demon could unleash its demonic aura, Mu Yang had already withdrawn his fist. He then took a step forward, using the shattered crab claws to close in on it, and arrived in front of its bulging eyes.

Sharp Gold Tiger Claw!

With a swing of both fists, a tiger's roar shook the heavens.

"Bang bang!!!"

The bulging eyeballs exploded in mid-air, and the blue-shelled crab demon's vision went black.

It tried to struggle, but to no avail.

Mu Yang swung his fist again, slamming it heavily into its chest. Cracks spread, and its carapace shattered into pieces.

The scent of death lingered in my mind.

The blue-shelled crab demon panicked!

"Don't kill me! My mother is the wife of a dragon, the queen of a dragon..."

"Bang!!!"

Before the Green-Shelled Crab Demon could finish speaking, Mu Yang's fist slammed down first.

The fist, imbued with sharp power, pierced the crab demon's heart.

The green-shelled crab demon was utterly lifeless.

Mu Yang pulled his hand out of the shattered carapace.

"Don't tell me your mother is the wife of a dragon. Even if your mother were a dragon, you would still die here today."
