Chapter 29: Returning to the County

Chou Nu stopped in his tracks, looking at this scene that seemed to be frozen in disbelief.

The long saber was like a spear, and the spear came out like a dragon.

The evil dragon pounced out, piercing through the chests of the purple-robed man and the man who looked like a demonic plague martial artist, carrying them into the air, and pushing them back frame by frame in a time that seemed to have been slowed down.

The eyes of the two men were also full of disbelief.

Not only them, but even the fleeing small demons and the monkey demon pressed under the golden mountain had their expressions frozen, looking at this scene in astonishment.

Everyone clearly saw that the ghost-masked Taoist boy was hit squarely by the Heavenly Master’s Seal and fell to the ground.

But, he had only fallen for a moment, and after a moment, he had climbed up as if nothing had happened.

After climbing up…

He started running.

Ning Xuan started running.

He had switched back to the [Yin Wind Ox], and his constitution had reached 5.0 again.

His speed was extremely fast. Every time he stepped on the ground, he used the Swallow’s Cry Power on his feet. The ground shattered, and smoke and dust rolled. One step was more than ten zhang. In four or five steps, he had already rushed in front of the purple-robed man and the demonic plague Taoist boy.

He actually had time to grab the long saber that had just landed.

He leaped up, his hands gripping the saber hilt, his face ferocious, and the corners of his mouth pulled into a grimace.

His eyes were focused, selfless, and ruthless.

He looked down from above and pressed down heavily on the purple-robed man and the Taoist boy who had just landed.

Swallow’s Union!

Boom!!!

The violent power, combined with the triple superposition of the power of that throw, slammed into the purple-robed man and the Taoist boy.

Then, the flesh and blood of the purple-robed man and the Taoist boy began to disintegrate.

Flesh and blood, bones and muscles, and internal organs all began to disintegrate.

They disintegrated in all directions.

Bang!!

Flesh and blood shot out, and a dahlia of extreme bloodiness bloomed on the ground.

Under Ning Xuan’s saber, under his feet, there were no more people.

Both of them had exploded, exploded into minced meat. An eyeball rolled and rolled, and only stopped when it hit a rib wrapped in purple cloth.

He stood on the flower of blooming minced meat, and the ferocious arc of his mouth widened even more.

He didn’t know why he wanted to laugh.

So, he laughed.

He held the saber in one hand, supported his forehead with the other, and pushed up his hair, letting out a wild laugh.

“Hahaha!”

“Hahahahahaha!!”

The Ghost Shadow Horse Monkey looked at this scene in a daze, and only one sentence appeared in its mind: You are indeed a demon…

It had smelled the demonic aura from this ghost-masked Taoist boy before, so it had said it was strange just now.

It suddenly looked at Chou Nu with a sympathetic gaze.

Sure enough, after laughing wildly, Ning Xuan started running again.

One run, one explosion.

In the rolling smoke and dust, he rushed towards Chou Nu, passed Chou Nu, came to the Ghost Shadow Horse Monkey, and with a spin of his saber, the monkey’s head flew up. He dipped his finger in the demon’s blood, and with a close and an open of his eyes, he refined it in an instant.

The Ghost Shadow Horse Monkey’s constitution was similar to that of the Yin Wind Ox, only its innate demonic art was different.

Its innate demonic art was:

[Concealment Art: Transform the form into emptiness, hide the shadow and conceal the tracks, making it difficult to see its form]

An hour later…

Ning Xuan and Chou Nu had searched the cave and cleaned up the demons, but the sheep demon was good at speed and had run away. There were also some small demons that were too scattered and had also run away.

As for the missing people in the demon cave, they were all rescued. The two of them comforted them with gentle voices, and then led the people to the exit of Manfeng Mountain.

The soldiers stationed outside hurriedly came up to receive them and took the people away. When they heard that the demons had been wiped out, they all cheered.

The two brothers did not go out to meet the government troops and Fangshi outside, but on the grounds that there was still trouble, they re-entered the mountain.

After walking for a while…

Both of them were silent.

Ning Xuan recalled his actions just now.

He sighed lightly.

After being eaten by demons so many times, and enduring the pain of being gnawed at bite by bite so many times, some things would naturally change.

In the nightmare, when he faced those powerful demons, he was not only calm, ruthless, and single-mindedly wanting to kill the opponent, but also had a trace of venting, a trace of madness, a trace of distortion…

Once he felt that his life was threatened, he would instinctively remember the pain of being eaten alive, and then he would be unable to control his movements and start killing. Everything would be done in the most efficient and craziest way.

In the end…

He was afraid.

He was really scared.

He was so scared of being eaten.

But this kind of personality was not him at all.

He didn’t even want to think about what he looked like at that time now.

He just wanted to go back to Star River County now, quickly go through the process, become a general, help the Ning family stabilize their power, and then stay in his father’s and big brother’s territory and not go anywhere.

This place was happy, with plenty of good wine and beautiful women. He didn’t need to go to any big place to pursue more dragon qi resources, so… why bother to be enterprising?

This was him.

Suddenly, Chou Nu took the initiative to speak, “Although the corpse is badly mutilated and there is no proof of identity on it, that Taoist boy must be a demonic plague martial artist, and that purple-robed man is also a Heavenly Master.”

He patted Ning Xuan’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Well done.”

After coming out of the mountain, he had confirmed again that there was no demonic aura on Ning Xuan.

Since that was the case, what was wrong with his younger brother being strong?

Why bother to ask this and that?

After thinking for a moment, he said with some worry, “I saw your appearance, it was a bit…”

He couldn’t describe the bloody and explosive feeling of that scene. Perhaps there were demons more cruel than his younger brother, but there was absolutely no demon that could show the crushing and crazed scene just now.

That scene was too impactful.

Chou Nu suddenly stopped.

Ning Xuan also stopped.

Chou Nu said seriously, “Ning Xuan, don’t tell anyone your secret, including Father and me. And I will never leak what happened today.”

Ning Xuan noticed the change in his address and the solemnity of his tone, and nodded.

Chou Nu added, “It’s just that, your state is very wrong. If it weren’t for the fact that you don’t have any demonic aura, I would suspect that you have been infected with a demonic plague.”

Ning Xuan explained, “Maybe it’s because I know that there are actually demons in this world, so… I’m scared.”

The corner of Chou Nu’s mouth twitched, but he still maintained the attitude of an older brother and an elder, let out a light laugh, and said in a peaceful tone, “You are still better than me.

The first time I saw a demon, I was so scared that I wet my pants. The second time I saw a demon, although I didn’t wet my pants, my face was still pale, and I was so scared that I was frozen.

My master said that I was not suitable for this line of work, but I still did it.

Don’t be stressed, I’m not talking about you.

Being cruel to demons is not a bad thing, but… don’t lose yourself.”

Ning Xuan nodded heavily.

He had made up his mind.

Big Brother was right.

Being cruel to demons was not a bad thing, but he couldn’t lose himself.

In order not to lose himself, he was going to the Chenxiang Pavilion to listen to music.

In the past, he thought the Chenxiang Pavilion was far away, in the prefectural city, so he usually only went there when he was on a long trip.

Now he knew that this entire Wangyue Prefecture was his father’s territory, so what was so far about it?

He was going to buy the mansion opposite the Chenxiang Pavilion.

The concubine he married home would eventually get tired of each other. How could it compare to the Chenxiang Pavilion, which was always new and had wine and stories?

Chou Nu said, “Now, we should go back.”

His expression moved slightly, and he said, “It’s time to see who arranged for a pair of Heavenly Master and Taoist boy to intercept us. This time, if it weren’t for you exceeding their expectations, both you and I would have been buried in the bellies of the demons.”

As he spoke, he pressed his hand on Ning Xuan’s shoulder, and a golden light surged. He moved several li in one go, and after several consecutive shifts, regardless of the consumption, the hustle and bustle of Star River County was finally near.
