"Thank you so much, sir! Thank you so much for saving my child!"

Mu Yang carried the child, whose crying had stopped, to the woman with the broken leg. The woman hugged the child tightly, her voice choked with sobs, and kept thanking him.

Mu Yang didn't say much, but took out a bottle of hemostatic wound medicine from his pocket and placed it in front of the woman.

"Applying it to the wound can stop the bleeding."

After saying that, Mu Yang stopped and, with a light tap of his toes, his figure shot towards the center of the village like an arrow.

The woman hugged her child tightly, watched his disappearing figure, forced herself to sit up, and kowtowed three times heavily.

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

The center of Lijia Village.

This was originally the village chief's house, which was also the largest and most luxurious house in the village.

But now, the place is completely unrecognizable.

The roof beams were broken, the courtyard walls had collapsed, and a burly rat demon, even more imposing than Gray Two, was sitting on the remaining half of the roof of the tallest building.

Its body was covered with dark yellow bristles, its muscles were bulging like cast iron, and it was gnawing on a bloody thigh.

He is the eldest son of Huangfeng Dawang of Huangfeng Mountain, also known as Hui Da.

He was also the leader of this raid on Lijia Village.

Not far in front of him were several smaller rat demons.

"Brother, do you think that kid will really come? We've almost killed everyone."

Gray Six licked the remaining blood from his fingertips, then idly kicked the dead villager in front of him away.

He had been eating for over an hour and was no longer able to eat.

Gray Three, who was leaning against the broken wall piecing together fragments of a corpse, flashed to the side, caught the villager's body that Gray Six had kicked away, and, while comparing the size of the corpse's limbs, said indifferently, "What difference does it make whether they come or not?"

"If they come, we'll kill them to avenge our second and ninth brothers. If they don't come, we'll eat and drink our fill, pack up the blood and go back to report. Anyway, all Father wants is to teach the county a lesson and give that old bastard Wang Rudong a warning."

After saying that, Gray seemed to have identified his target. With his claws, he slashed and pieced a bloody severed arm to the missing part of the puzzle.

A human-shaped jigsaw puzzle pieced together from different limbs has taken shape.

"Third Brother is right!"

Huiqi and Huiba echoed.

Gray didn't say anything, but after finishing the last piece of meat, he silently wiped his mouth, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Last night, they received an urgent letter from Wang Rudong, informing them that Gray Five and Gray Nine had died at the hands of a constable named Mu Yang, and that Gray Two had also been murdered by someone hired by Mu Yang. Their father was furious and ordered them to go down the mountain and massacre the village.

The purpose was simple, just as Hui San said: firstly, to avenge Lao Er and his gang, and secondly, to intimidate Wang Rudong.

Haiji is a genius rat demon with demon blood magic and a mysterious and unpredictable Shadow Step technique. How could he be so easily killed? He strongly suspects that there is a trap involved.

Unfortunately, its father had already made up his mind, and its younger brothers were even more eager to go down the mountain and eat people. It had no choice but to lead its team here because it was worried about them.

"Alright, stop playing, everyone."

Gray's deep voice rang out, carrying an unquestionable authority, "Wait another hour. If Mu Yang doesn't come, pack up all the remaining meat and take it back to Huangfeng Mountain."

Whether it's a scam or not, this batch of meat is enough for them to eat for a long time. At worst, they can hide deep in the mountains for a while. With human methods, they simply won't be found.

"Understood, big brother!"

All the rat demons responded.

"Since Big Brother has spoken, then you can die!"

Grey Eight, who was toying with the farmer, curled up a sinister smile and suddenly stomped on the farmer's neck with his thick, long feet covered in sharp claws.

With a snap, the farmer fell silent.

"Old Tian!!"

Not far from the farmer, a middle-aged man with a broken arm and dark skin stared at Gray Eight with eyes full of rage.

If Li Chuang were here, he would definitely recognize the one-armed man as his seventh uncle.

He thought that after Mu Yang killed the rat demon and Li Shoucai who were entrenched in the village, Li Family Village would be at peace.

Unexpectedly, this morning, the village seemed to have descended into hell.

His wife, son, daughter-in-law, neighbors—almost everyone he knew died at the hands of the rat demon.

He picked up a hoe, desperately wanting revenge, but Gray Eight broke his arm with a single claw.

If only Constable Mu were here...

Despair overwhelmed Li Chuang's seventh uncle's heart like a tidal wave.

Just then, a familiar dark figure appeared in his field of vision.

"Mu... Constable Mu?"

Uncle Li's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped at the last straw.

But then his gaze swept over the five rat demons in the village, especially the gray one sitting on the roof like a small mountain, and his newly ignited hope was instantly extinguished.

These are five rat demons! No matter how powerful Constable Mu is, he can't possibly defeat so many demons!

"Officer Mu, you...you run!!"

Uncle Li roared with all his might.

"run?"

Gray Three had clearly noticed Mu Yang's sudden appearance as well. His gleaming green eyes were fixed on him, and a cruel smile crept across his lips. "Where do you think you're going? I didn't expect you to actually dare to come. That saves us the trouble of looking for you!"

It recognized at a glance that this was the constable that Wang Rudong had drawn in his letter.

She looks even younger than in the portrait.

With his delicate skin and tender flesh, how could he possibly kill the fifth and ninth brothers?

Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it, I'll just kill him!

"Boy, you've got to die!"

With a roar, Grey Three launched himself out like a cannonball, his sharp claws carrying a foul, demonic wind as he lunged straight at Mu Yang's face.

With his late-stage second-tier strength, killing this kid would be a piece of cake.

"Officer Mu!!"

Seeing that Mu Yang was attacked but did nothing, Li Chuang's seventh uncle felt despair.

Just as Li Chuang's seventh uncle's eyes were darkening, a silver light suddenly pierced his vision.

"Whoosh—!!"

The long sword hanging at Mu Yang's waist had been drawn from its sheath at some unknown time.

The speed was so fast that Gray Triad didn't even have time to react.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, followed by a muffled thud.

That was the sound of the gray three-headed creature rolling to the ground, its face still bearing the狰狞 smile it had before death.

The entire village center fell into a deathly silence.

Gray Eight's raised foot stopped.

The playful expressions on Grey Seven and Grey Six's faces froze.

Even the usually calm and collected Gray suddenly stood up from the roof, his pupils shrinking sharply.

Gray Three, a late-stage Tier 2 character, just died like that?

One cut?

Just one cut!?

Didn't the letter say that Mu Yang was just a genius constable with some ability?

That's what you call having some ability?!

Gray's heart sank suddenly, and a thought that had never appeared in its mind before suddenly surfaced.

The second brother may not have died from an ambush or from Wang Rudong's plot.

The one who killed it was this young constable right in front of us!

The rat demons were stunned by Mu Yang's powerful attack, but Mu Yang would not stop there.

The Light Body Three Breaths Technique is in operation!

Three breaths - full!

Mu Yang's figure blurred instantly, like a ghost.

"Oh no, Eighth Brother, watch out!!"

Gray roared in anger, trying to stop him, but it was too late.

A flash of light.

Grey Eight, who had just tried to stomp on Li Chuang's seventh uncle, had his head fly into the air, blood splattering on the spot.

Haiya, die!

Without stopping, Mu Yang turned around and shot towards Hui Qi's side.

Before Grey Seven could even raise its claws to defend itself, the blade had already grazed its neck.

Haichi, die!

Having witnessed the deaths of his two brothers in succession, Gray Six was terrified and turned to run away.

But its speed was as slow as a snail compared to Mu Yang's.

Mu Yang appeared behind it in a flash.

Hand up, knife down.

The head was severed, and blood flowed.

Gray Six, die!

From the moment Mu Yang appeared until now, in just three breaths, all four rat demons were beheaded.

In the entire village, only Hui Da, still standing on the rooftop, remained.
