Jingyu County East
In a manor.
There were ruins everywhere, and gurgling red bloodstains flowed along the stagnant water.
Among the broken buildings, a monster can be vaguely seen. Its body is like a fish, its head is like a snake, and it has six legs and six claws. Its body is several feet huge. At this time, between the sharp claws of the front four legs Each of them grabbed a part of the bloody and mutilated limb, and kept putting it into their mouths to feast on it. The crunching sound of chewing the bones was shocking.
On the low slope not far from the building, Yan Guang was crouching, hiding behind a large rock, looking at this scene with an ugly face.
“The legacy of the water demon…”
Fifth-level monsters are not something that ordinary warriors can deal with. Either a being in the Five Zang Realm needs to take action, or an elite army that can form a military formation to curb the monster’s power can strangle them.
Jingyu County is basically the property of the Xue family, including many manors outside the county government. This almost destroyed manor is one of them. But seeing the water demon wreaking havoc in it, he did not dare to go there at all. .
even.
Not only did he not dare to go there, but he also tried his best to contain his breath while hiding here.
In fact, Yan Guang felt very depressed at this time. The appearance of a fifth-level monster would have been a catastrophe in the past. The loss of a manor was actually acceptable, but the problem was that it was too close to the county capital!
If this monster, after wreaking havoc in this manor, heads for the county government, the loss will be huge. The people in the county government will not have time to move, and secondly, even if they have time, they will not be able to do it. , this is different from the relocation and evacuation of villages and rural residents below. The county has too many people, and any movement will cause huge losses.
Just then.
A scout figure came from a distance and approached cautiously.
“Is there any news from Pingsha Lake?”
Yan Guang asked in a low voice toward the scout.
Pingsha Lake is the new name of the area downstream of Qingping River. Because the previous rupture of the ground veins has sunk to form a lake, it happens to be located at the junction of the downstream of Qingping River and Jinsha River, so one word for each was used as a temporary name. Of course, this kind of The temporary title often becomes the actual name in the future.
“not yet.”
The scout didn’t care about saluting at this time. He glanced at the tragic situation in the distant manor with frightened eyes, and responded carefully to Yan Guang in a low voice.
Yan Guang looked very ugly at this time. There was no news from Pingsha Lake, and he could not ask for help from the true legend. City Lord Xue was far away in other river areas. Even if he got the news, it would not take him a while to come over. It was basically impossible to make it in time. Yucheng There is still Meng Tianzhang, the head of the Demon Slayer Division, who is in charge, but Meng Tianzhang must be in charge of Yucheng and will not be dispatched at this time.
As for the four sects such as Tianjian Sect and Hehuan Sect, they can actually try to ask for help at this time, but they still haven’t found the true successors and deacons of their sects. This is understandable. After all, the rupture of earth veins is very rare. They are all still exploring under the earth veins, and no one will come up until the cracks in the earth veins are closed.
“The only thing we can do is try to lure this monster away.”
Yan Guang took a deep breath in his heart.
At this moment, the only way to avoid disaster in the county is to find a way to lure this water monster away. But the problem is that it is not easy to lure the opponent away. Ordinary martial artists who can easily change their muscles and muscles cannot run very far in front of it. Even if he is in the bone forging realm, if he is targeted, he will most likely die.
In this case, who would be willing to lure away the water demon?
Use human lives to pile up? Yan Guang hesitated for a while.
But at this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded among the dark clouds.
It seemed to be the first thunder since the beginning of spring. It suddenly illuminated the sky and the earth and resounded in all directions. It even made the already tense scout behind Yan Guang couldn’t help but tremble and stepped into the puddle. , causing a large splash of water.
All of a sudden.
In the dilapidated house, the water demon Fengyi, who was gnawing flesh and blood, suddenly stopped. On the huge body, the head like a snake’s head turned, and a pair of eyes looked in the direction of Yan Guang and others.
“not good.”
Yan Guang was suddenly startled and secretly screamed that something was wrong.
Almost at the next moment, he stepped down and retreated, quickly retreating far away.
Several followers and scouts nearby had frightened expressions on their faces at this time, and each wanted to run away, but in an instant, a surge of demonic power filled the air, and the rain all over the sky seemed to freeze for a short time, causing everyone to panic. He suddenly froze in place.
Uh-huh! Almost in an instant.
The huge body of the water demon Fengyi had already flashed out from between the ruins and crossed over. A pair of tail legs among the six legs under its abdomen suddenly trampled on the huge rock where Yan Guang had been hiding before. The huge body The body stands erect.
boom! The rock shook violently, as if it couldn’t bear it, and cracks appeared on the surface.
Several nearby scouts and officers were so frightened that they could not even move under the awe of the monster. Their eyes were full of fear, and they could not even gather their consciousness for a while.
But at this time.
Boom.
Another sky thunder struck down, but this one fell straight towards the water demon Fengyi’s head, covering its huge body with a blast, and the bright thunder exploded at a close distance, shocking everyone. They couldn’t help but close their eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the huge body of the water demon Fengyi frozen there. There were traces of being scorched by lightning all over his body, but more importantly, right above his head, I don’t know when There was one more person, and a knife in his hand was stabbed straight into his head, and it went into the hilt.
After being so severely injured, this fifth-level water demon was still not dead. The solidified body moved again and let out a shrill and angry scream. A demonic power spread out, causing the water on the ground nearby to sweep away, turning into a stream of water. The curtains rose into the sky, heading towards the figure directly above his head.
However, Chen Mu’s eyes were dull. He suddenly pulled out the Flowing Fire Knife and jumped high, avoiding the water coming from all directions. Then he raised the knife in his hand and raised it high in the air.
Zizzi!
There were faint arcs of lightning on the blade, and there were also faint arcs of lightning intertwining in the dark clouds above the sky.
Then as he swung his knife downward, there was another thunderous explosion, and a beam of thunder light fell from the sky in the dark clouds, falling on the Liuhuo Knife in his hand, and his whole body swung downwards with the thunder light.
The bright thunder beam first submerged into the turbulent curtain of water, causing the entire curtain to spread into interweaving lightning arcs. Then the knife in his hand fell with one slash, and with one slash the huge snake head of the water demon Fengyi was removed from the body. Split in half in the center! Wow.
Chen Mu’s figure turned over in the air and landed in a puddle more than ten feet away. There was a splash of water all over his body, and there were faint lightning arcs intertwining around his body.
Under the shocked gazes of Yan Guang and others, the huge body of the water demon Feng Yi staggered a few times and fell to the ground.
“cough.”
Just when Yan Guang and others were still immersed in shock, Chen Mu coughed out a wisp of black mist, a wry smile flashed in his eyes and shook his head. This was the first time he tried to use the power of Zhen Lei’s ‘Tianshi’. It was indeed extraordinary that the fifth-level water demon Feng Yi was killed by the sword without even blessing Xunfeng and Lihuo. However, it was precisely because the power was so great that even he could not bear it completely. The evil-breaking thunder spear on his body absorbed a lot of the power of the sky thunder for him, so it was no big deal.
It seems that the sky thunder cannot be triggered casually. At least he has to wait until he has fully mastered the artistic conceptions of Genshan and Duize, and has the Shanze two realms that are more capable of carrying the power of the sky thunder. Only then can he use the earthquake thunder more calmly. The timing of artistic conception.
Wow.
The rain that had briefly solidified between heaven and earth fell again.
Chen Mu stood up slowly in the rain, and at this time Yan Guang and others had already seen Chen Mu’s figure clearly.
“Master Chen…?”
The few officers and scouts who had narrowly escaped death looked at Chen Mu with eyes wide open and full of shock, while Yan Guang in the distance also had a look of shock.
But before he could take the initiative to step forward, Chen Mu had already stepped down, passed him, and headed towards the county government. At the same time, he said: “The body of the water demon will be transported back to the county government for the time being. You can handle other matters.”
After the sound fell.
Chen Mu’s figure had disappeared into the rain.
Only Yan Guang and several other officials were left standing frozen in the rain. After a long time, they finally came to their senses. They looked at each other and saw the shock that had not faded yet in each other’s eyes.
Chen Mu didn’t pay attention to the reaction of Yan Guang and others. After giving the instructions, he returned all the way to the county seat of Jingyu County.
“Master Chen?”
County Magistrate Jing Yu was anxiously wandering under the eaves of the main entrance of the county government, waiting for intelligence news. Suddenly he saw Chen Mu’s figure coming from the rain. After reacting, he quickly saluted Chen Mu and said : “Mr. Chen, east of the county…”
“It’s been dealt with.”
Chen Mu crossed the gate of the county government in one step and walked by without stopping. He said calmly: “I want to rest for a while. If you have nothing important to do, don’t come and disturb me.”
As the words fell.
His figure disappeared into the county government in a few steps, leaving only the magistrate of Jingyu County standing there in a daze.
……
Return to the courtyard where you rested before.
Chen Mu came to the door.
At the same time as he pushed the door open, the Yuan Gang’s power on his body shook away all the muddy water, and then a ball of flame emerged from his body, and the clothes on his body became dry in an instant.
He walked into the house in one step, closed the door, sat down next to the Taishi’s chair, put a few tea leaves into the kettle, and boiled a cup of hot tea. At the same time, he put his baggage and various acquisitions aside, and finally took a long breath of relief. tone.
Although the tidal disaster is not over yet, the largest turmoil in the ground has subsided, and the floods and rivers have basically stabilized. There will be no greater turbulence in the future, and at most there will be some monster attacks.
“It’s finally over.”
He picked up the tea cup, took a sip of hot tea, and then closed his eyes slightly.
outside the window.
The drizzle is still falling.
