41. Killed

After the kill, the killing point floated by, having no recipient, and the demon slowly and reluctantly disappeared. The illusion before its eyes vanished instantly.

Then a familiar voice was heard, "He Chen, the object in your hand is pure energy left behind by a demon; you can absorb it directly without any problems."

It was Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang had just sensed that there were evil spirits daring to descend upon this place, so he rushed over to check. With the arrival of evil spirits, many people would die or be injured. He himself was not confident that he could escape unscathed. However, he had to come because he was upright and had a clear conscience.

Yun Su followed closely behind, her steps light and precise, the broken blade in her hand gleaming coldly—surely a treasure! Three more people followed behind, wielding shields, swords, and spears. They exuded an aura of killing intent; was this an army?

However, when they arrived, they were shocked to see He Chen embracing the demonic vessel, his entire body engulfed in flames. Then, he purified all the demonic energy, which was truly extraordinary.

Some people worship evil spirits and sacrifice others to gain attention and power. However, such power is full of temptations and contains the will of evil spirits. Through special methods, one can purify the evil energy and then use its power to strengthen oneself.

This power is available to anyone, so many people with poor talent who cannot improve take the risk of sacrificing themselves to gain it.

At first, it was pigs, cattle, and sheep, but later it was discovered unintentionally that the people who made the sacrifices were gaining more attention and power.

From then on, the killing never stopped, and it was later classified as a demon, to be exterminated on sight.

As soon as the flames went out, He Chen, his clothes still on fire, quickly turned his back, silently chanting, 'Ignore the indecent assault, ignore the indecent assault.'

He Chen first took out a set of clothes from his Qiankun bag and put them on. Then, looking at the pure power in his hand, he didn't swallow it for the time being. There was no rush.

The magistrate also snapped out of his fantasy, feeling extremely frightened. He had almost died today, and the patrolman had turned into a demon in the blink of an eye. The change was too fast, and he felt he bore a great deal of responsibility.

He Chen gripped the Gentleman's Blade tightly in his hand, looking at the magistrate. This magistrate was a demon; he might as well just cut him down.

Seeing the chilling, suspicious gaze, the county magistrate immediately shuddered, quickly regaining his composure. He hurriedly said, "Many thanks to He Tongsheng for slaying the demon. He Tongsheng will surely be richly rewarded for this merit. I will immediately submit a memorial to the prefect, and I will certainly not embezzle any credit."

Looking at the relatively normal-looking magistrate before him, he slowly released his grip, then glanced at the black ashes on the ground. If the leader of this police station is a demon, then has the entire police station been corrupted by demons?

Then, looking at the pure energy in his hand and hearing Mr. Wang's words, it seemed there was no danger, so he opened his mouth and swallowed it. He thought to himself, 'Convert it all into kill points. I don't want to take any risks!'

Adding kill points...that's a lot!

Then he bowed to Mr. Wang. Gui San also woke up from the illusion and, seeing how fiercely the adult fought, was happy, thinking that he hadn't followed the wrong person!

Seeing that the evil spirits had been dealt with, He Chen realized that although a beautiful woman had arrived, she knew Mr. Wang, so he didn't want to bother her too much.

So he slung the broadsword over his shoulder, turned, and walked away.

"Chief He, Chief He, please wait!" the magistrate hurriedly stopped him, this time also fearful. With evil spirits descending, his official robes couldn't protect him!

The county magistrate is skilled in martial arts, but ultimately he is a scholar, lacking the abilities of a great Confucian scholar. At best, he is a Confucian scholar, but his heart is clouded, unable to transcend the realm of a gentleman. "Chief He, I wonder if you would be willing to enter officialdom, to serve as the head of the patrol bureau and the chief constable?"

"You're too kind, sir. However, I've always been used to my freedom. As for the matter of leadership, I suggest you find someone else." Seeing He Chen about to leave, the magistrate hurriedly stepped forward.

"Chief He, I sincerely wish to request that you, sir, assume the position of Patrol Officer. The Patrol Officer and all the constables and yamen runners will be under your command. Chief He can freely allocate manpower, and if you are unwilling, you can leave at any time."

Gui San also stepped forward to advise, "Sir, the position of head constable makes things much easier for you."

He Chen paused for a moment, thinking to himself, 'If I agree, wouldn't that mean I've given in?'

At that moment, a pleasant whisper reached my ears.

"Why don't you agree, sir? With this official robe, things will be much easier for you. Besides, I see you're skilled in martial arts, and there are quite a few martial arts treasures in this government office. Why don't you take advantage of them?" He spoke playfully, his voice clear and crisp.

He Chen understood that position was unimportant. If a powerful figure attacked, no matter where he was, he could simply cut him down with a knife. Position was merely an empty title; he was being too attached to appearances. As long as he dared to draw his sword, he could do whatever he wanted, no matter where he was.

"Alright, I agree." He turned and left. He was going to the police station today! He wondered if this seemingly perfect police station had anything else going for it!

Moreover, the magistrate himself took on the roles of constable and head of the patrol department, simply because he was afraid that the evil spirits had not been completely dealt with!

But it's okay. I also want to go and have some fun; it's just a matter of each getting what they want.

"Chief He, may I come along?" A clear and pleasant voice rang out.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her clear, bright eyes were so captivating that even the moon in the sky seemed to hide its face. She was a beauty that would shame the moon and put the flowers to shame!

Seeing such a beauty come to him, He Chen certainly wouldn't refuse! He wouldn't bother her, but at this moment, refusing was out of the question!

"Sure, but don't call me 'gang leader,' just call me He Chen. What's your surname, beautiful lady?"

"My name is Yun Qing, you may just call me Yun Qing." Yun Qing said with a smile, pursing her lips. She quickly came to He Chen's side.

"It's my honor to have such a beautiful woman by my side, but there might be a bloody conflict later. Does Yunqing still want to go?" He Chen said threateningly, implying that there might really be a conflict later.

'I've been wanting to see Brother Shen's unparalleled figure, how could I not go?' His eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, revealed directness and boldness, but without any allure.

"Alright, let's go then." He Chen saw such a bright and clear-minded girl for the first time, and the complicated thoughts in his heart disappeared instantly.

"Let's go to the police station first," He Chen said to Gui San.

"Yes, sir."

The group soon arrived at the entrance of the police station.

"Halt! This is a restricted area of ​​the police station. All unauthorized personnel, please leave immediately!"

"I am the newly appointed Chief of Police. All officers of the Police Department must arrive within fifteen minutes!" He Chen stepped in and announced loudly.

"You dare impersonate the police chief? You're asking for death!" With that, he raised his knife and swung it down. The blade flashed coldly, the strike aimed directly at the head. Clearly, he had no intention of leaving a survivor!
