The dog player heard something moving, looked up, and was immediately frightened as his pupils shook, and his hairs stood on end.
He had no time to think much, and rolled over to avoid, but he was too slow, only dodging the first seven swords, but unable to dodge the last three.
Pufu.
A flying sword formed from a stream of water severed his arm.
Another flying sword pierced directly into his abdomen.
The final flying sword drilled through his forehead and emerged from the back of his head.
The dog player stiffened all over, his face filled with resentment, and he fell forward, collapsing to the ground.
If he were to fight someone directly in front of them, they would be completely fearless.
But...
But today, he was ambushed by someone, and he doesn't even know who killed him!
The onlookers gasped in shock, feeling as if it had only happened in a blink of an eye. The dog player was covered in blood and fell to the ground lifelessly.
The dog player has completely run out of life force, and his transformation magic can no longer be sustained. He gradually changes back from a human form to that of a demon dog.
The onlookers were both shocked and terrified. It turned out that the dog player was a demon!
Then it means that the reason why several people fainted earlier was not due to heat exhaustion, but because the demon dog used some sort of magic?
Soon, the malevolent law also loses its effect.
One by one, the skin and fur on the "puppies" could be seen shedding with the naked eye. Only then did the onlookers realize in shock... The puppies who had been showing off tricks earlier had all transformed into humans! And they were all children around five or six years old!
The children saw that they had returned to their original forms and were no longer being oppressed by the demon dog.
Each one cried with joy.
They recounted their tragic experiences to the surrounding onlookers.
Behind, Jiang Lier added his sword away. He reintegrated into the crowd, picked up the demon dog's treasure - a broken porcelain bowl that could absorb people's essence.
And in the eyes of everyone, he cut off the head of the demon dog, putting it into his wish-granting gem - the head of the demon dog was worth a silver coin, and it couldn't be given away cheaply to others.
Later, Jiang Lier left in a hurry.
The onlookers had just come to their senses, one after another, wanting to find the whereabouts of Jiang Lier, but they found that the young man with a sword had already disappeared from sight.
The onlookers exclaimed, "Could it be that the young man has killed this demon?"
They added, "He must be a sword master!"
……
"Ah, we've stirred up a snake without hitting it," Jiang Luer sighed, holding a porcelain bowl filled with copper coins. "I wonder if Liu the thief, knowing that someone with the ability to kill demons has come, will dare to return to the city."
"Thank you for your admiration," said Jiang Luer. "You know that being patient and enduring is the best course of action, but you couldn't bear to see the people being repeatedly victimized and thus, angrily wielded your sword to kill the demon."
He bowed to Jiang Lier: "The humble scholar is not worthy of the noble master!"
"Don't flatter me, I'm already regretting it. How could I not control myself?"
Jiang Lier hung his head dejectedly, "If Liu the thief runs away because of this, I don't even know where to look for him next time."
Hu Yuyu comforted, "Sir don't worry, even if Liu the thief has run away, we can first catch the big one and then the small. Let's first get out the big demon behind the scenes. That big demon is Liu's supporter. He must know where Liu is hiding."
She added, "Moreover, Liu the thief has sent out invitations for a wedding feast. Such people, like wolves without limits in their face value, may very well have the nerve to come back after ten days to marry his concubine."
Jiang Lier felt that Hu Yuyu's words made sense.
After killing the demon dog in the market, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened.
They found an inn, ordered some food, and allowed Shou Qing to recover.
They ordered two rooms.
Hu Yuyu and Jiang Lier shared one room.
Shou Qing had a room to himself.
Jiang Lier knew that he couldn't underestimate the big demon behind Liu the thief. He practiced "Dān Shān Jué," one of the Seventy-Two Changes of the Earthly Palace, diligently. By nightfall, his "Dān Shān Jué" had made significant progress. Although he couldn't move mountains, if he were to fight against Wolf Unlimited again, he could gain the upper hand more easily.
By the time he practiced into the late night, his "Tōng Yōu Jué" had reached a great mastery. He could freely explore the Underworld, staying there for as long as he wanted. Moreover, he had already acquired the ability to drag others into the Underworld.
"If you don't go to sleep, you won't grow tall!"
Jiang Lier was mumbling the words that his wet nurse always said to him.
He closed the window to prepare for sleep.
Hu Yuyu noticed that the master forgot to cover the blanket and gently draped the bedding over him.
Once again, he transformed into a red fox and leaped onto the bed.
He cuddled up next to his master.
...
At the same time.
Inside Jiangzhou City.
A headless body lay in the hall, the smell of blood particularly strong.
A voice said, "A very sharp swordsmanship... cutting hands, striking abdomen, piercing skull, each move is fierce and terrifying. A demon dog with over two hundred years of cultivation was killed by this person without any warning."
"I recognize this demon dog, his name is Gao Dan'er. He has a magical porcelain bowl, and he spends his days setting up stalls at the market to perform with dogs, secretly absorbing the vitality of the spectators. Over the past few months, he has killed a dozen or so people."
Just then, the headless corpse was surrounded by only a few "people".
They were all demons disguised as humans, hiding in Jiangzhou City.
They follow human customs and understand human ethics.
Up to the point where they have connections with the government.
If thrown out onto the streets, no one would know they are demons.
A shrimp-shaped demon asked, "Does anyone see what the murderer looks like?"
A carp-shaped demon shook his fan, pretending to be a scholar. He replied, "Yes, the officials have questioned the witnesses. Some said it was a sword master, some said it was a young man, and some said there were three people."
The shrimp-shaped demon frowned: "Sword master? Young man? What nonsense is this?"
A clam-shaped demon opened his mouth and spoke in a deep voice: "Huh, a strong dragon has come to Jiangzhou, but he doesn't understand the rules here. Breaking the rules will mean punishment. Someone should inform him, let him send some people to investigate."
A crappie-shaped demon sneered coldly: "That guy? He's traveling with his concubine and enjoying the mountains and waters! I don't know what the king sees in him. He's been protecting him for so long."
The carp-shaped demon said, "Liu Hong is greedy, easily angered, jealous, loves wealth, desires sex, and enjoys pleasure. Such humans are the best to control."
The carp-shaped demon continued, "I'll go inform him. You three should be able to handle that destructive dragon without a problem."
The shrimp-shaped demon laughed and said, "I've practiced for three hundred and ninety-nine years. If he can take my move, he's shown some talent."
The clam-shaped demon said, "I am as hard as iron skin, and I'm not afraid of his swordsmanship."
The crappie-shaped demon said in discontent, "Why does the dirty work always have to be done by us three?"
"Because I've read books," the carp-shaped demon said with confidence. "Given time, I want to take the imperial examination and become the first number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty among demons. By then, our power will not be limited to Jiangzhou."
The carp-shaped demon laughed and left, leaving the three bilingual demons standing there looking at each other in confusion.
The crappie-shaped demon rolled his eyes and said, "What's the big deal? Just being able to read a few characters and knowing how to do exams? I've also read. I can take the imperial examination as well."
The shrimp-shaped demon helplessly said, "You've been reading all sorts of bedroom books. The carp spirit has a good brain; he can read good books, and the king values him greatly!"
The crappie-shaped demon stubbornly argued, "Bedroom books are still books!"
...
Outside.
The carp-shaped demon walked to the riverside and leaped down, transforming into a white carp fish.
He swam out of the city, then swam for another hour before surfacing.
He saw a camp set up ahead and approached, showing a token. The night watch guards were scared and quickly saluted, but he waved his hand indicating that it was unnecessary.
As he listened, the first sound he heard from within a camp was a woman's scream, followed by the sound of undressing, and then the indecent sounds could be heard.
The carp-shaped demon paused in his actions.
Reluctantly, he waited outside.
After the sounds stopped, he smiled to himself, "The total time is thirty breaths. It took him ten breaths to take off his clothes. He's a bit too weak."
The carp-shaped demon raised his voice again and said, "General Chen, there's someone who needs to see you!"
The men and women inside the tent screamed in terror.
