At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

Mu Yang left, and he left cleanly and decisively.

While causing concern among Constable Chen and his colleagues, they also felt a sense of admiration for him.

Go ahead to dangers.

Such courage and boldness, given time, indicate that he will be no ordinary person!

"Let's go, Chuangzi, lead the horses! Old Ye, Xiao Qi, you too, quickly do as the foreman says!" Old Fang reacted the fastest and immediately spoke up.

Everyone snapped out of their daze and immediately got to work.

..................

The backyard of the police station.

Wu Cai was shirtless, holding a huge stone lock in each hand, wielding it with great force, the wind howling so hard that it bent the branches of the surrounding trees.

The young people watching nearby all showed expressions of shock and admiration.

Wu Cai was on leave today, so he came to the backyard and trained the new recruits with Elder You.

"Old You! Head Squad Leader Wu!?"

Just then, a shout came from above.

Wu Cai put down the stone lock in his hand and looked at the newcomer.

"Old Chen? Little Qi? What happened? Are you injured?"

The newcomer was none other than Constable Chen, who had just applied some wound medicine and was being helped there by Lin Xiaoqi.

Lin Xiaoqi had only come to find Elder You as instructed by Mu Yang, but she didn't expect Wu Cai to be there as well.

Officer Chen reacted quickly. Seeing Wu Cai there, he immediately began to recount the events that had just occurred in a concise manner.

"What!?"

"Five or six rat demons, and Brother Mu went alone?"

Wu Cai slammed his fist on the stone lock, his tiger-like eyes wide open, his voice booming like thunder.

Old Master You and the newcomers standing to the side were both shocked and filled with admiration.

Terrified by the rat demon's attack on the village, yet admiring Mu Yang's courage and chivalry in upholding righteousness.

"This kid is really fearless! No, I have to call for backup right away! Brother Mu's talent is amazing, we can't afford any mishaps!"

Without waiting for anything else, Wu Cai picked up his shirt, said goodbye to Old Man You, and immediately left the backyard.

The injured Constable Chen was left to be cared for by Elder You.

..................

At the same time.

The county government compound, the county constable's office.

Unlike usual, Zhou Heng did not hunch over his desk, frowning as he handled official business.

Instead, he unusually relaxed his brows and drank tea with the middle-aged man in front of him.

The man was dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit, with a four-foot-long sword at his waist. He was tall and straight like a pine tree, and his eyes were sharp like an eagle's.

He was none other than Xue She, the top expert in the Qingxi County government and the head of the constables' office.

He is also the son-in-law of the Zhou family and the brother-in-law of Zhou Heng.

"Brother-in-law, how is it?"

"I've already delivered the letter you sent to the Demon Slayer Bureau. However, the Bureau is currently busy with the Blessed Land project. Unless I take people to the county town, the recruitment of new members will probably have to wait a while," Xue She said.

"Then we'll just have to wait."

His original intention was to have the people from the Demon Slayer Bureau come to the county town, and then see if he could ask them to investigate the three major families.

If Mu Yang is sent there, then all his work will have been for nothing.

Xue She was obviously aware of his brother-in-law's scheme, so he didn't say much, but just sat in his chair and sipped his tea.

"Lord Zhou, something terrible has happened!"

Just then, Clerk Liu pushed open the door and entered.

Beside him was Old Ye, panting heavily.

"What's the matter? Why are you making such a fuss!"

Zhou Heng put down his teacup, his brows furrowing slightly.

Old Liu is usually a steady person, why is he so impulsive today?

We can't be like him, with some composure, able to remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapses before us, or not even blink when a deer runs past us.

But the next second, he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Lord Zhou, it's the Shepherd Head! The Shepherd Head went to Li Family Village all by himself to fight the demons alone!" Clerk Liu immediately recounted everything that Old Ye had just reported to him.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up, completely unaware that the tea in his hand had spilled.

"Nonsense! How can he possibly handle five or six rat demons by himself! Why didn't you stop him?!"

Mu Yang was his only hope to lure the Demon Slayer Division away; if something happened to him, it would be disastrous!

"No, brother-in-law, please run there quickly. It doesn't matter whether the rat demon is killed or not, but at least we can't let Mu Yang get into trouble!" Zhou Heng immediately looked at Xue She beside him.

Xue She was the head constable of the county and the only third-level martial artist in the constables' office. He had already fully cultivated his limbs, torso, bones, blood, and marrow, making him a genuine late-stage Blood Marrow Realm martial artist.

Their strength was so great that even the heads of the three major families treated them with respect.

"Sigh, I'm such a busybody. I just got off the horse and haven't even had a few sips of tea. Oh well, what can I do? I'm your brother-in-law. But once I've rescued him, remember to teach him a lesson so he won't always act rashly. Next time, I might not be there to help him."

Xue She stood up and said something to Zhou Heng, then he vanished through the doorway.

"Sigh, I hope my brother-in-law can get there in time..."

Zhou Heng ignored Xue She's nagging and prayed silently in his heart.

Muyang, please make sure nothing happens to you!

..................

at the same time.

On Muyang's side.

After leaving the police station, he did not wait for Lao Fang and the others to lead his horse. With his strength at the early stage of the Golden Blood Marrow Realm and his physique enhanced by multiple attributes, he far surpassed ordinary horses in both speed and endurance.

After activating the "Light Body Three Breaths" technique, his body became even lighter and his speed was astonishing.

In less than half an hour, he saw the outline of Li Family Village.

In just two days, this once peaceful and tranquil village has been transformed into a living hell.

Ruins and rubble are everywhere, the clear river water is stained with blood, and broken farm tools and blood-stained clothes are scattered on the muddy dirt road.

Several mutilated corpses lay scattered along the roadside, their faces frozen in despair and fear.

"No, please, don't eat my child!!"

"Mom, I'm so scared—!!"

Desperate wails and heart-wrenching cries echoed in every corner of the village.

The woman kneeling and crying was a middle-aged woman who had lost a leg and left a long trail of blood on the ground, yet she was still struggling to crawl on the ground.

A few meters away from her was a tall, large rat demon with a broad back and yellow fur all over its body.

Its height was similar to that of Gray Five, which Mu Yang had killed before, making it a second-tier rat demon.

"Tsk tsk tsk, humans really are weak, incompetent, and sentimental creatures!"

Gray Four, clutching a tiny doll that wasn't even as long as his arm, mocked the woman crawling towards him.

It hadn't experienced the pleasure of slaughtering and toying with humans for a long time.

In the past, to avoid leaks, it had to act quickly and decisively, which was far from enjoyable.

Right now, we have food, drink, and fun!

"Oh, there's still one person here."

Gray seemed to have noticed something and suddenly looked up.

The first thing that caught my eye was a young man dressed in a dark black constable's outfit, with a large, long sword at his waist.

That youthful face clearly showed he was a weakling with hardly any hair on his head.

"Honestly, where did this slip-through fish come from? I didn't even see it before."

Gray Four glanced at Mu Yang's constable uniform, muttered to himself, and then a sinister smile spread across his face. His green eyes were full of mockery. "But it doesn't matter. We let one go to report earlier, so let's eat this one!"

As he spoke, he suddenly exerted force in his lower limbs, and his body, which was at the mid-stage of the second tier, burst forth with extremely fast speed.

He held the child in one hand and stabbed at Mu Yang with the other.

Sharp claws gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight, exuding a menacing aura.

Facing the approaching Gray Four, Mu Yang remained calm and his breathing was steady. Without saying a word, he raised his right hand and gripped the hilt of the knife.

Without a deafening shout or any unnecessary movements, Mu Yang stepped forward, lowered his waist, and slashed upwards with his long sword, which carried immense force.

"Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming Saber Technique" -- Subduing the Tiger and Subduing the Dragon!

"Whoosh!!"

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, more dazzling than the sun.

The broad blade of the Yu Yu Ling broadsword sliced ​​across Hui Si's arm as easily as a knife cutting tofu, and his thick arm, which was holding the child, slipped off his shoulder.

Before the rat demon could cry out in pain, Mu Yang reached out with his left hand, steadily supporting the child. With a flick of his right wrist, he turned the blade and slashed horizontally, like a thunderclap or a swimming dragon, across the rat demon's neck.

With a "thud," the rat demon's head rolled off, its green eyes filled with confusion and resentment.

The headless corpse swayed in the sunlight reflected off the blade before falling straight to the ground with a dull thud. Thick demon blood gushed out, merging with the bloodstains on the ground, blurring the lines between them.

Gray Four never understood why it died.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, causing Mu Yang's black constable uniform to flutter in the wind.

Mu Yang held the child in one arm, his dark eyes gazing into the distance, standing with his sword hanging down, blood dripping from the tip of the blade.

Five rat demons remain!
