Chapter 67: Killed with One Blade!

"How many of these incidents have occurred?"

Lu Zhangsheng turned his head and asked the Bureau Head beside him.

This corpse was quite strange, making it difficult for him to judge for a moment.

"This is already the third one, and the state of death is about the same."

The man's expression was grave.

He initially suspected it was not man-made, so he went directly to the Demon-Suppressing Division Yamen.

With murders happening one after another in his jurisdiction, his pressure was also extremely huge.

This kind of strange event rarely happened in the city in the past, which also made him very puzzled.

You must know, in front of the two city gates of the county city, there were two huge Heavenly Craft Mirrors hanging; if demons or Guaiyi approached, they would warn, and they rarely failed.

He did not expect that incidents would be happening in the city one after another now.

Lu Zhangsheng's eyes flickered upon hearing this.

As a person of the Demon-Suppressing Division, he also knew the function of the Heavenly Craft Mirrors.

The vast majority of Guaiyi and demons could be warned; this was also the first line of defense for the county city's safety.

However, ever since Du Ling returned to the county city, these incidents had been happening one after another, making him have to suspect the other party.

The deaths of these men were likely inseparable from Du Ling.

"I will do my best to investigate this matter; once there is news from the Yamen, please also trouble yourself to notify me."

Lu Zhangsheng said faintly.

Afterward, he walked out of the house.

For the next few days, every four or five days, a man would die strangely at night, and it would only be discovered the next day that he had fallen into a stinking sewer.

Upon investigation, Lu Zhangsheng discovered that the state of death was no different from before.

This made him increasingly puzzled as to what purpose the other party had in killing these men.

At the same time, the Demon-Suppressing Division also officially took over the matter, letting Lu Zhangsheng set about investigating with all his strength.

…………

Night, a stretch of tranquility.

City West, on a deep street, the cold wind was biting.

There were quite a few pedestrians on the street, and the coming and going crowds wantonly sized up the women dressed revealingly on both sides.

This place was what the men in the city called Kuaihuo Street.

The consumption at Yuanyang Lou was too high, and most ordinary commoners could not afford it.

This place just happened to fill the needs of the bottom-level commoners.

A woman with an extremely charming face, wearing a pink long dress, stood at the corner, wantonly sizing up the passing crowds, as if selecting prey.

At this time, a young man in white was walking alone in a dark alley when he suddenly saw a woman standing alone in the corner, making one unable to help but want to go over and care for her.

He walked over without hesitation.

"Official, come and play."

The woman in pink waved her hand, her eyes full of charm.

The man instantly seemed to have lost his soul, holding the woman's handkerchief, and was led forward.

Arriving inside the house, he couldn't wait to start taking action.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Soon, bursts of rumbling sounds came from inside the house.

One hour later.

Whenever the man could not hold on, a puff of pink gas would drift into his mouth and nose, instantly making his spirit soar.

The man was like a tireless wild bull, working hard at plowing.

Another hour passed.

The man's face became increasingly pale, his whole body drenched in sweat.

"Ah..."

After a long howl, he fell down.

At this time, a black cat walked in, its eyes carrying a ghostly light, extremely strange.

"Go and bring the food over."

After the woman in pink picked up the black cat, she spat out a red pill and put it into the black cat's mouth.

Then the black cat leaped with all its might, jumped out of the woman's arms, and soon disappeared into the night.

The black cat traveled along the street and soon arrived in front of a gorgeous mansion.

This place was exactly the residence of the County Magistrate, Du Wentao.

It found a small hole in the corner and drilled directly in.

Afterward, after several leaps and bounds, it arrived in front of a room.

"Creak..."

At this time, the door suddenly opened, the black cat jumped in, and saw "Du Ling" sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes quite evil.

It quickly jumped into the other party's arms and spat out a pink bead.

Du Ling took the bead and swallowed it directly. "Go, bring back more food."

"Meow, meow..."

The black cat meowed a few times and then quickly left.

…………

Two days later.

It was late at night again.

The woman in pink was soliciting customers as usual when suddenly, bursts of footsteps came from behind.

He saw a man wearing the official uniform of the Demon-Suppressing Division walking over with large strides, his face quite handsome.

It was Lu Zhangsheng, who had been investigating this matter for several days.

He discovered that all the victimized men had one commonality, which was lust, so he investigated along this clue all the way, and tonight he finally had a harvest.

"You heretic cultists, actually colluding with demons and Guaiyi, hiding in the city and wantonly harming people."

Murderous intent erupted in Lu Zhangsheng's eyes; as his Qi and blood circulated, an aura pressed forward.

"Yo... I wonder who it is; so it's Official Lu. Do you want to have some fun with me? I guarantee to make you satisfied..."

Ye Yuzhen smiled charmingly, a cold glint flashing through her eyes.

She had been hiding in the city and naturally knew some of the strong figures of the Demon-Suppressing Division.

Lu Zhangsheng, this figure who rose from the commoners, was also within her intelligence.

"Demon witch, die!"

Lu Zhangsheng did not hesitate, lifted his slaughtering knife, and slashed forward quickly.

"Shoo..."

A sharp cold glint flashed in the dark night, the momentum extremely fierce.

Even in the air, bursts of sonic booms came.

With this blade, he used his full strength directly, without holding back in the slightest.

For this kind of extremely evil demon witch, he felt deep hatred.

"Not good."

Ye Yuzhen looked at Lu Zhangsheng with a face full of fear.

She felt that she was firmly locked by a powerful will, not daring to move in the slightest.

"Who exactly are you, and why is your strength so powerful?"

With her strength at the Refining Flesh Perfection, she began to feel a bit of despair.

The momentum of the other party's strike was clearly not something she could withstand.

It had already far exceeded the scope of Refining Flesh and reached the Bone Forging level.

She directly stimulated the essence blood in her body and thrust out a sword with all her might.

This sword was already the strongest strike of her life; only under the pressure of death could she thrust out this sword.

This move also barely reached the Bone Forging level.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The long blade fiercely shattered Ye Yuzhen's precious sword, turning it into clusters of fragments that collapsed.

Afterward, the long blade's momentum did not diminish as it slashed toward the woman's head.

"Ah... you ruined the Venerable Lord's plan; she will not let you go..."

Ye Yuzhen let out a desperate roar.

Immediately following, a large head separated from the shoulders and rolled onto the ground; a large amount of fresh blood gushed out, a complete mess.

Afterward, Lu Zhangsheng looted the corpse and then walked toward the distance with the head and the corpse.

The next day, early morning.

Lu Zhangsheng informed the Demon-Suppressing Division of the matter and also left the corpse in the main hall.

After identity verification, it was discovered that this woman was a Protector of the Wenxiang Sect and was also on the wanted list, but the other party had disguised herself.

After killing the other party, Lu Zhangsheng obtained another Small Merit.

Added to the gains from the previous few missions, he had a total of fifteen Small Merits in his hands.

He prepared to accumulate these merits to exchange for some higher-level cultivation techniques.

Just as Lu Zhangsheng was submitting the mission.

Inside a dim room.

"Report to the Venerable Lord, Protector Ye has been killed, and the plan to cultivate the Spirit Seed has also been temporarily shelved..."

"Who killed my subordinate?"

"It is said to be Lu Zhangsheng of the Demon-Suppressing Division."

"Hmph... find an opportunity, send a Bone Forging expert from the sect..."

The woman in red had murderous intent in her eyes.

"I obey your command."

The man in black knelt on the ground, his expression extremely respectful.
