Li Yu is a blacksmith in Yancheng County. He has an elderly mother and young children to take care of. It is the coldest time of the year and it is late at night. He should be at home with his wife and children.
However, at this moment, he was wearing a black cloak and walking through the deserted streets of Yancheng County with a panicked look on his face.
Hearing the footsteps chasing him quickly from behind, Li Yu hid in a corner of a nearby house in panic.
"Split into two teams, go check over there! Once you find it, take care of it immediately!"
"yes!"
Li Yu, who was in the dark, listened to the conversation of the crowd outside, his legs trembling.
He was just an ordinary citizen and had never experienced such a scene. He finally supported his legs and stood up. However, he had only run a few steps when he heard a shout from behind him.
"He's here!"
Li Yu looked extremely frightened and ran desperately towards the county government office.
However, in his panic, he took the wrong road. Looking at the dead end in front of him, despair appeared in Li Yu's eyes, his legs went soft and he sat on the ground.
Behind him, the people from Feng Yuan Escort Agency gradually surrounded them when they saw what was happening.
At this moment, a lazy voice sounded.
"Why are you guys playing hide-and-seek here at this hour of night instead of sleeping?"
Everyone looked in surprise and saw a young man in a black robe with red edges jumping down from the roof and landing directly between Li Yu and Feng Yuan's escort agency.
At the same time, faint footsteps were heard again behind everyone, and the people from Feng Yuan Escort Agency looked back nervously.
A girl holding a long sword and with a cold expression was blocking the back of the crowd.
It was Zhou Zhilu and Ling Qingxue.
The Feng Yuan Escort Agency's leader asked cautiously, "Who are you two? We are from the Feng Yuan Escort Agency. This man owes us money. I hope you two will stop interfering!"
Zhou Zhilu smiled upon hearing this and said, "We have something else to do with this person. Why don't you come back another time?"
The leader replied with a sullen expression, "So there's no room for negotiation? Are you sincerely going to oppose our Feng Yuan Escort Agency? Master Feng..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the girl behind him shout, "Stop talking too much nonsense! What are you wasting time for? Get out of here after this!"
After saying that, he suddenly thrust out the long sword in his hand, and several ice cones flew into the air along with the long sword.
Caught off guard, two people at the back of the team were pierced by ice spikes and fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the man who headed Feng Yuan Escort Agency quickly took out a red ball from his arms. This was a flare. When thrown into the sky and detonated, it would emit a dazzling red light.
However, just as the flare was thrown, he saw a figure approaching at high speed through the corner of his eye.
Zhou Zhilu quickly stepped forward, jumped into the air, instantly cut off the flare in the air, and then threw it fiercely at the people from Feng Yuan Escort Agency below.
"Bang!"
The flare exploded, and thick red smoke suddenly dispersed along with red light.
Zhou Zhilu had already covered his eyes in advance, but the people below were not so lucky. The dazzling red light instantly hurt their eyes.
The leader covered his tearful eyes and looked around with a ferocious look on his face. However, a pair of fists suddenly stretched out from the red fog and attacked the vital point.
"puff!"
The heavy blow to his heart caused him to spurt out blood, and under the influence of the force, he crashed into the wall behind him.
Before he could recover, he saw a leg shadow like a long whip sweeping over and hitting him hard in the face, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
Zhou Zhilu, who had just finished dealing with one person, hadn't even caught his breath when he felt a chill on the back of his neck and quickly bent down.
A flash of knife light instantly cut across the top of the head.
Zhou Zhilu's eyes turned cold, and the long sword at his waist instantly came out. He turned around and slashed horizontally. With a flash of the sword, the man behind him widened his eyes, covered his neck with blood, and knelt on the ground.
Then Zhou Zhilu looked around and saw that Ling Qingxue had already knocked down the rest of the people.
Ling Qingxue walked out slowly in the red fog, holding a long sword.
Just as Zhou Zhilu was about to say hello, he saw Ling Qingxue throw the long sword in her hand. A flash of sword light suddenly brushed past Zhou Zhilu's ear and pierced into the wall behind him.
Zhou Zhilu's hair stood on end. Just as he was about to curse, he saw Ling Qingxue walking towards him with her eyes closed and a frosty face.
Zhou Zhilu finally realized that he had forgotten to remind Ling Qingxue to close her eyes...
Just as he was about to explain something, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure on the side. He picked up a stone and threw it out instantly.
With a scream, Li Yu, who had just stood up and was about to escape, fell to the ground holding his calf.
Zhou Zhilu walked forward slowly and looked at Li Yu, who was lying on the ground wrapped in a cloak with a look of fear on his face.
The long knife in his hand slowly stretched out. Li Yu was so frightened that he curled up and closed his eyes tightly.
However, the imagined pain did not come, and the long sword only lifted the cloak on Li Yu's body.
As the cloak was lifted, Zhou Zhilu's pupils contracted, and even Ling Qingxue beside him showed an incredible expression.
"I knew it...it's just like that!" Zhou Zhilu clicked his tongue secretly.
I saw that the left half of Li Yu's face was covered with gray-brown scales, and a small bump grew on the left forehead.
The pupils on the left half of the face also turned light yellow, and the vertical pupils looked particularly strange.
Seeing this, Li Yu quickly covered his face, leaving only his exposed left hand, which was also covered with scales and black claws.
It looks like a half-human, half-demon!
Ling Qingxue wanted to ask something, but Zhou Zhilu quickly waved his hand to stop her.
Listening carefully, I found that other people had heard the fighting and were rushing over here at high speed.
