147 Ruthless and Crazy
With a cold glance, the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised. He surveyed the crowd; some wore mocking smiles, some looked angry, and some remained indifferent and speechless.
Looking around, he saw the group of leaders, their robes of gold brocade fluttering even without wind, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
Suddenly, a person rushed out of the alley, fighting and retreating simultaneously!
The three sixth-tier commander-level evil spirits behind them worked together in perfect harmony, consuming this delicious prey. They were just waiting for the prey to run out of strength before they would share the spoils. There were many onlookers, but a pair of cold-blooded people stood by and watched!
At this moment, Mi Zhanguo also felt his luck was bad. He hadn't expected these ghosts to join forces to hunt him down. This didn't make sense. Commander-level beings were at the sixth rank, possessing a strong sense of territory and the ability to think independently. How could they cooperate? This didn't make sense!
Just as I was about to deal with one, the other two attacked from behind. Luckily, I was very cautious and managed to escape. I could only lure them towards a crowd.
Behind the three demon leaders, ranks of ghosts, like an army, slowly appeared, closing in from all directions. At that moment, it was unclear whether they were the ones surrounding the others or being surrounded.
There aren't any evil spirits in this city; someone must have created a burial ground!
The three demons watched their prey flee to the middle of the street. In full view of everyone, they continued attacking their prey, completely disregarding the onlookers. Their eyes gleamed with a sinister red, a狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/savage) and insane madness!
With a single, decisive strike, calm and exhilarating, ruthless and insane, three bright, dazzling beams of light pierced the night, shooting directly at the commander-level demon.
"Ah!" The sound lasted for a long time, with raging flames burning fiercely and accompanied by a touch of thunder, which was exceptionally beautiful, and then the sound stopped abruptly!
Mi Zhanguo instantly broke free, looked at He Chen, bowed in gratitude, and said, "Thank you for your help, young hero. I am Mi Zhanguo."
He Chen chuckled, then asked curiously, "Your police station is really interesting! One of you is slaying demons, while the other is just watching. That's interesting. I wonder if you're acting or just playing house?"
After speaking, he glanced around and looked at one of the dog-like police chiefs standing next to the Huang and Chai families.
Chief of the Police Department, Chai Chuanteng, was enraged by such a disdainful look. He gritted his teeth and roared, "What arrogance! You dare to brandish a knife before a high-ranking official? Are you plotting a rebellion?!"
He came to his senses later and ultimately didn't dare to be the first to go. If many of his subordinates were killed or injured, he would have to spend a lot of money! It wasn't worth it, it wasn't worth it, especially with the wealthy Huang family here.
Moreover, the power and resources displayed by the Huang family today are unsettling! With so many private soldiers, if they were to turn against them, the Chai family might not be able to control them.
He Chen ignored him and looked at Mi Zhanguo with a questioning gaze.
Mi Zhanguo frowned, looking at the man before him and then at the group of hunters. He figured this was the man they were to ambush tonight. So nonchalant and indifferent—was he going to take a gamble? If he lost, he figured he'd have no choice but to flee to another place immediately.
If he didn't gamble, he would have to leave immediately, but the people of this city... sigh, he couldn't bear to leave them! He made a decision in an instant: 'I'll gamble.' If he lost, he would flee as soon as possible, and that would be worthy of his official robes.
Then he quickly said, "Young hero, the police station is now under the control of Chai Chuan Teng, and tonight, he is also hunting you down."
After saying that, the inner turmoil vanished instantly, and the internal energy cultivation method seemed to operate much faster. A true man should be this decisive! For cultivators, the art of battle is paramount; death on the battlefield is inevitable. Why worry about such things?
The wind howled, and the moon hid behind the dark clouds, as if it did not want to see the young hero die tragically!
He Chen turned around, not even glancing at Chai Chuanteng, but looking at the other two. One of them had a group of men behind him, and the yellow emblem was embroidered on his chest, so he must be a member of the Huang family.
A deafening voice boomed, "Patriarch Huang, you dared to collude with the Black Wind Stronghold bandits! Your deeds have been exposed! Everyone else, don't make a mistake! Lay down your weapons immediately, or you'll face no mercy!"
Then, looking at the other group, Chai Chuanteng was right beside him; he must be the head of the Chai family. He roared, "The head of the Chai family colluded with demonic beasts! His crimes are heinous! You must seize him immediately to prove your innocence, or you will be punished as accomplices!"
The sound was so loud it echoed through the sky, terrifying the people hiding in their homes nearby.
"Ah, the Chai family is colluding with demonic beasts! Aren't we doomed?"
"Ah, no way! How could the Chai family collude with demonic beasts?" Someone quickly got up, moved a rice jar, revealing a basement entrance, jumped in, and moved the rice jar back to its original position. They prayed they could escape this calamity!
The Chai family head felt a chill in his heart, but a smile played on his lips. Such petty tricks were utterly childish. Thinking of the cultivation techniques he practiced, a pang of pain shot through him, but he still clung to a sliver of hope as he asked, "Is my son still alive? If he is, I can spare your life."
The Huang family head arrived in grief and indignation, his face contorted with rage, his terrifying aura seeming to tear the sky apart. He thought to himself, 'Young hero, don't mislead people! We have no grudge against each other, why did you so cruelly kill my innocent and adorable child!'
So innocent and adorable! Hearing those words, I don't want to say anything more. I can't argue with you guys no matter what!
He said in a deep voice, "Your sons have already been devoured by ghosts. Why don't you kill these ghosts and avenge your sons?"
"You," the Chai and Huang family heads stammered, finding it hard to accept, "you brat, I'll make sure you never see the light of day again."
King Wen was very interested in watching the infighting among the humans. After listening to the verbal exchanges between the two sides, he felt that he had learned a lot and that the trip had been worthwhile!
The demon king's subordinates found this rambling and troublesome, thinking it would be much more satisfying and cathartic to just swallow the child whole. As for the death of their son, they didn't care; they could just have a few hundred more.
In an instant, the air became chilling, and the surrounding soldiers and police officers felt sweat pouring down their bodies involuntarily, as if the air itself had been frozen.
He Chen produced the Demon Slayer's silver token and blatantly threatened, "The Demon Slayer is here! You scoundrels, leave immediately! If you're still here in three breaths, you'll be considered accomplices and punished without mercy!"
After saying that, he suddenly felt amused. Just like in Tujia Fort back then, there were still many common people. But now, these are all people who have entered the ranks. Who would back down? It's just that he's speaking according to his heart and not going against his conscience!
