Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 37 Encirclement and Suppression
Li Fan and Li Hongyi were riding side by side. Li Hongyi felt a little strange. Why did his father suddenly say these words?
Her father had never mentioned her mother to her before. She turned around and looked at him with some worry in her eyes.

"Chuzhou, Cui family."

Li Hongyi took note of it secretly.

"Miss Li, your father's shooting skills are amazing." Li Fan said.

"Can you change your name?" Li Hongyi said. She disliked it more and more.

"Sister Hongyi?" Li Fan joked, and Li Hongyi glared at him.

"Red clothes." Li Fan looked forward and said, "If there is a chance, I will accompany you to find your mother."

Li Hongyi turned her beautiful eyes and looked forward as well. This time, she seemed to be able to accept this title.

"Okay." Li Hongyi smiled brightly in her beautiful eyes and responded happily.

On both sides of the street, demons were still wreaking havoc. The two men chatted and laughed while dancing with their spears and swords. Demons and beasts continued to die at the hands of their spears and swords.

There was a child crying on the side of the road, his heart was broken. Li Fan and Li Hongyi sped past but were unable to do anything.

Li Fan stabbed a sword into the body of Chen Yuan in front of him, and Chen Yuan, who was already in despair, let out a muffled groan.

"Who is the main messenger?" Li Fan asked.

"Just kill me." Chen Yuan responded.

"Kill you?" Li Fan said sarcastically, "Look up and see the miserable situation in Lin'an County. Do you deserve to die?"

After saying that, the sword slashed across his body, cutting open his flesh and blood. Chen Yuan, who was determined to die, howled miserably and his body twitched violently due to the pain.

"This place is still some distance away from Fulong Villa. Although I can't cut you into pieces, I can still do it a hundred times." Li Fan continued, and the sharp sword transformed by magic power pierced into Chen Yuan's body again and slid.

"I say..." Chen Yuan cried bitterly. Li Fan's methods were even more cruel than those of a demon.

"The imperial court wants to take action against Fulong Villa, and the Chen family asked us to cooperate. My Chen family is only responsible for doing the work, not the mastermind. Please give me a quick death." Chen Yuan said.

"Really?" Li Fan said sarcastically, stirring the sword again: "You seem to have forgotten about the City God Temple incident. It doesn't seem like it happened recently."

"Many families in Lin'an County are involved in the trafficking of women. County Magistrate Wang is also involved. These are common things in Lin'an County, but they have nothing to do with demons. I really don't know where these demons come from." Chen Yuan said: "The young man from the Chen family is named Chen Yan. He must know something. If you want to know, you can go find him."

"Beast." Li Hongyi stared at Chen Yuan. To these upper-class people in Lin'an County, human life is just a trivial matter?
Not only did the government fail to eliminate the harm to the people, it actually participated in it.

The villain sits in the temple.

No wonder the incident at the City God Temple happened. These people were connected with each other in Lin'an County and were lawless.

Li Fan stared at Chen Yuan, twitching his sword, restraining the murderous intent in his heart.

What they see as trivial things are innocent and miserable lives and many family tragedies.

Monsters eat people, people eat people!
The human heart is more poisonous than the devil.

However, Li Fan believed what Chen Yuan said. He should not be the mastermind. There were actually third-level demon cultivators among those monsters. It was not something that Chen Yuan and the people of Lin'an County could command.

"Where is Li Shan?" Li Fan asked, why this matter involved Li Shan.

"Lishan, that's a matter of a higher level. I only know that the court's target is Lishan, and the clan also said that Lishan will collapse, but the specific details are not something I can know." Chen Yuan's breath was weak, and he just wanted to die quickly.

"When you arrive at Fulong Villa, tell it all again in front of the prefect and everyone else," Li Fan said.

Just as the two were talking, Li Fan suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and magical power gathered above his head.

"Be careful." Li Fan yelled at Li Hongyi, picked up Chen Yuan with one hand and rushed to the side, and knocked Li Hongyi to the side in mid-air. A huge palm print fell from the sky.

"boom……"

With a loud bang, the area instantly turned into ruins.

Not far away, two figures were standing on the roof. They were Chen Yan and the old man behind him who were chasing him.

The two men stared at the ruins in front of them. Suddenly, a terrifying murderous sword intent emanated from the ruins and instantly spread to the surroundings, covering the place where he was. A chilling murderous intent fell on him.

Chen Yan frowned, and saw a figure in white standing up from the ruins and coughing up blood. Li Hongyi beside him also stood up with difficulty, his face pale, and spat out blood.

If Li Fan hadn't protected her, this blow would have been enough to kill her.

Chen Yan did not expect that this attack could kill Li Fan. He stared at Chen Yuan and saw that Chen Yuan was barely breathing, but still had a breath left.

"How is it?" Li Fan asked Li Hongyi beside him.

"It's okay." Li Hongyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Chen Yan in the distance.

Li Fan also looked over there and walked a few steps forward in the ruins. Chen Yan frowned, his magic power surged, and a magic weapon appeared in his hand. He sensed that the sword intent was getting stronger and stronger, as if it could fall on him at any time.

A murderous intent flashed in Li Fan's eyes. Chen Yan stared at him intently and took a step back involuntarily.

Chen Yan took a step back and was stunned. He looked down at his feet with an embarrassed expression.

He was forced to retreat and became timid by a cultivator in the Spirit Refining Realm. He lowered his head, and a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

But when he looked up, the murderous intent disappeared. He looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Chen Yuan, you still have a lot of family members in the mansion. I will take good care of them. I will also take care of Luo Yun's body and take it to the Chen family clan and put it in the Chen family clan ancestral hall. The same goes for you."

"Thank you, Young Master Yan." Chen Yuan responded in a low voice. He didn't know yet that the Chen family had been cleaned out by Chen Yan.

Li Fan knew something was wrong when he heard what the other party said. After Chen Yan finished speaking, he stepped back and soon left his sight.

With his status and talent, he didn't want to risk his life with Li Fan. It was not worth it to risk his life with a mere cultivator in the Spirit Refining Realm.

However, he must find a way to kill Li Fan, so he has to wait until Li Shan is done.

"This man didn't show up when I captured you and Chen Luoyun. He just wanted to kill you and silence you. He is vicious. Do you believe what he says?" Li Fan said to Chen Yuan, "Since he is worried that you will tell the truth, he is also worried that other people in the Chen family will tell it. What do you think he will do?"

Chen Yuan felt a chill in his heart when he heard Li Fan's words, but hope soon ignited in him. With so many members of the Chen family, including many people from the cultivation sects around Lin'an County, what was he worried about?
Could it be possible that Chen Yan could kill all of them?
Li Fan didn't know what Chen Yuan was thinking, so he continued to run forward with him. Li Hongyi next to him said to Li Fan, "Chen Yan is vicious and powerful. He has murderous intentions towards you but has always restrained himself. You should be careful of him in the future."

Chen Yan should be a Qigong practitioner at the fourth level, at the foundation-building stage. This level is already invincible in Lin'an County.

Although Li Fan is very talented, he is still young after all, and his cultivation is only at the Spirit Refining Realm. It would be very troublesome if he was stared at by such a person.

"Don't worry, it is precisely because he is calm that he doesn't dare to kill me in public. He didn't use his full strength just now. He must be afraid that I will die here." Li Fan said. Even if there are rumors outside that Lishan will collapse, as long as Lishan is still there, the deterrent will remain.

Just a sword intent was enough to make Chen Yan fearful, not to mention that there was Li Shan behind him.

He knew very well that if it weren't for Li Shan and the intimidation of the sword, he would have died in Lin'an County long ago for what he had done.

Of course, if one day Chen Yan wanted to kill him secretly, then he would definitely be the one to die.

The two continued on their way, with Li Fan still dragging Chen Yuan.

When Li Fan and Li Hongyi rushed back to Fulong Villa, it had already been breached and the surrounding area had turned into ruins.

Outside the Fulong Villa, a large number of people from Lin'an City and practitioners gathered. With the Demon-Suppressing Army and the Demon-Slaying Bureau present, no demons approached, making it an excellent place to take refuge.

Some of those who practice cultivation came to join in the fun, while others came to try their luck. They had heard that Fulong Villa was full of treasures, but they didn't know whether it was true or not.

Inside the villa, the Demon-Suppressing Army was in the front, and the murderous aura was rising to the sky.

In front, in the ruins, a figure in a white robe stood on the shadow of a dragon, his clothes stained with blood, and his long black hair danced in the wind.

On both sides of him stood the brother and sister Liu He and Liu Ji. They had transformed into half-demon forms, half human and half snake, and were huge in size.

"Yu Qing, you let the monster commit crimes and cause great suffering to the people of Lin'an. If you stop now and surrender, and let the monsters in Lin'an City leave, the prefect may give you a quick death. But if you persist in your evil deeds, you will be sentenced to death and cut into pieces." Lin'an County Magistrate Wang Yuan stood there, looked up at the figure in white robe and spoke loudly.

"You fart."

Liu Ji stared at Magistrate Wang angrily.

The demons in Lin'an County are committing crimes, so they are the culprits?
At this time, a shout came from behind the crowd, and the Demon-Suppressing Army made way for a path.

In the middle of the road, a middle-aged man was riding a horse, moving slowly forward.

"Meet the governor."

"We welcome the governor to slay the demon."

The surrounding sounds continued to sound, causing the eardrums to vibrate.

"Please, Sir Governor, slay the demon." The people around shouted.

"Please ask the governor to slay the demon."

The voices became louder and louder. The people of Lin'an County were deeply harmed by the demons, and their resentment was rising to the sky. They stared at the white-robed figure on the ruins with cold and ruthless eyes, shouting, "Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The air was filled with murderous intent. Even if they were just ordinary people, if there were enough of them, the murderous intent could be gathered into a force.

What the people want.

Liu Ji looked at the people with red eyes, and suddenly laughed like crazy. He looked at the man in white robe next to him and cried, "Master, this is the result of your kindness over the years. I want to eat them."

There was also murderous intent in her red eyes.

She wants to kill those people, all of them!
"Liu Ji, you are not allowed to eat any human beings ever, not even one." The man in white robe looked down at Liu Ji and said.

"Master..." Liu Ji felt sad and angry.

"Did you hear that?" The man in white robe said in a stern voice, leaving no room for doubt.

Tears welled up in Liu Ji's eyes as she said, "Yes, Master!"

"I will definitely do it." Yu Qing sighed in his heart.

If you eat a person, you will be like him, there is no turning back!
