So it turns out I'm the demon!

Ling Ye sized up Jiang Mu, who was dressed in black, with a strange look in his eyes:

"Why do you look like a womanizer?"

Jiang Mu didn't bother to explain and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Ling, there's a monster in the city, in that secluded courtyard deep in Sanye Alley in the west of the city. I saw it with my own eyes. Come with me quickly!"

Ling Ye's brows furrowed slightly:

"The demons that appear in the city are generally not very powerful. Your Demon Slaying Division can handle them yourselves. I have other matters to attend to."

She turned to leave.

Jiang Mu said quickly:

"That demon was not in my jurisdiction; it was in the territory of the Third Hall. Moreover, this demon's cultivation was extremely high, at least at the fifth level. I accidentally stumbled upon its true form and almost couldn't escape."

"Fifth tier?"

Ling Ye twisted her slender waist, somewhat surprised.

"Since this is the territory of the Third Hall, why not notify them?"

A night breeze swept by, causing her black dress to cling tightly to her body, her undulating curves resembling two volcanoes imprisoned by the night.

Jiang Mu sighed helplessly:

"I reminded them, but Master Wen isn't here, and the others won't listen. I guess they're hostile towards me because of what happened before and don't believe what I say."

Ling Ye said calmly:

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I'm afraid you'll embarrass them again. I guess they've already gone there."

Ling Ye had been working in the Demon Slayer Division for many years and was very familiar with some of its intricacies.

She asked, "What kind of monster is it?"

Jiang Mu said in a deep voice:

"She's a demon in disguise. I saw that woman peel off her own face with my own eyes."

"Painted Skin?"

Ling Ye's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed. "You're saying you saw her skinning someone with your own eyes?"

"right."

"Snake skin."

"What?" Jiang Mu was taken aback.

"So this mother snake was hiding inside the city; no wonder we couldn't find it."

Ling Ye shoved the large watermelon in his arms into Jiang Mu's arms, saying, "Hold this for me, be careful not to break it."

Jiang Mu took it instinctively.

Before he could react, the beautiful figure flashed before his eyes, transforming into a streak of light and hurtling towards the direction of Sanye Alley.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Jiang Mu chased after them, carrying the watermelon.

……

……

After Jiang Mu left, Wang Ershang quickly gathered six men and headed to the small courtyard that Jiang Mu had mentioned.

Except for his first fourth realm, all the others were third realm.

In Wang Ershang's opinion, this configuration is already quite luxurious and more than enough for catching demons.

Upon arriving at the outer perimeter of the courtyard, Wang Ershang first directed the others to set up a simple demon-trapping array to seal off the outer perimeter.

Two people were assigned to guard the front and rear exits to prevent the monster from escaping.

After everything was arranged, he led his two most capable subordinates into the courtyard.

As soon as he landed, a dark blue light flashed in Wang Ershang's eyes.

His star position is "Earthly Hidden Star Official".

The supernatural power it possesses is enhanced night vision, allowing it to see every detail within a ten-zhang radius and detect demonic energy.

"strangeness……"

Wang Ershang scanned the deathly silent courtyard, his brows furrowed. "There's not a trace of demonic energy."

"Boss, could that kid surnamed Jiang be playing a trick on us?"

One of his men asked suspiciously.

Wang Ershang shook his head: "He's not that naive. Go and take a look at that house over there."

He pointed ahead to a room lit by candlelight.

The two nodded slightly and went around to either side.

Wang Ershang gripped the knife handle tightly, staring intently at the door.

For some reason, his heart suddenly started racing.

I had a bad feeling for no reason.

One of them went outside to the eaves, moistened his finger with saliva, gently poked a hole in the window paper, and peered through it.

As soon as the eyes were placed on...

But then he was startled to see a sinister eye staring intently at him!

"grass!"

The man was startled and instinctively backed away.

puff--

A hand emerged from his chest.

But then he saw the only maid in the courtyard appear behind him at some point.

In her slender, white hand, she held a heart that was still beating slightly.

Pfft!

The man fell to the ground, lifeless.

The maidservant expressionlessly stuffed the meat in her hand into her mouth and chewed it.

Fresh blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.

A cold female voice came from inside the house: "Kill them all. I'm raising their skins, so don't disturb me."

"Yes, madam."

The demonic maid swallowed her heart and instantly charged at another person.

Upon seeing his companion die, the demon slayer roared in anger, drew his sword, and charged at the maid.

"Three Realms?"

A hint of disdain flashed in the maid's eyes.

She moved like a ghost, dodging the blade while simultaneously forming claws with her fingers and gripping the man's throat.

puff--

The demon slayer didn't even have time to scream before his throat was ripped off.

"Old Lin!"

Wang Ershang's eyes were bloodshot as he drew his sword and charged forward.

He realized that the maid was a fourth-tier demon, so he attacked with all his might, his blade infused with starlight, aiming straight for her head.

clang!!

The maid raised her arm and actually took the blow with her bare flesh.

Sparks flew everywhere!

Her arms were covered with a layer of fine blue scales.

"A snake demon?!"

Wang Ershang's heart sank.

The snake demon maidservant, her eyes icy, attacked again, her entire body covered in hard scales.

At the same level, the demon is slightly better.

After a few rounds, Wang Ershang was at a disadvantage, forced to retreat repeatedly by the opponent's fierce claw winds, and several bloody marks appeared on his body.

The other four people who heard the commotion rushed in and joined the fray.

Only then did Wang Ershang have the strength to catch his breath.

The two sides entered a stalemate and a bitter struggle.

Just then, an impatient, cold female voice suddenly rang out from inside the room: "Shut up!"

wow-

The door was open.

Before Wang Ershang could even see clearly, he was struck hard in the chest.

He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the water vat in the yard, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Great demon!!

Wang Ershang lay in the broken water vat, his eyes filled with horror.

Master Jiang wasn't lying; he truly is a great demon!

For a moment, despair and regret welled up in his heart.

Through his blurred vision, he saw a gigantic ghostly hand formed from black mist, reaching out to grab him from all directions.

"It's over..."

Wang Ershang closed his eyes and awaited death.

Clang—!

Suddenly, a sword's cry rang out through the night sky.

The black mist ghost hand froze in mid-air before dissolving and dissipating.

Wang Ershang opened his eyes in astonishment.

A beautiful figure stood on the roof ridge, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

Ling Ye's delicate nostrils twitched slightly as he coldly said:

"This stench... it really is you, you snake demon. You actually dared to come to the city to break through your limits. You've got some nerve."

"It's you!?"

A venomous roar echoed from inside the house, "You bitch, you're like a persistent ghost!"

Boom!

The roof exploded.

A figure enveloped in demonic energy soared into the sky, his blood-red blade trailing a dark red tail several meters long, as he slashed towards Ling Ye.

Ling Ye brandished his ice sword.

The two sides were entangled.

At times, the crimson light surged, threatening to engulf the silver light; at other times, the sword net suddenly contracted, twisting back and constricting the demonic energy.

The ever-expanding ring-shaped air currents shook the courtyard walls, causing dust to fall.

Although Ling Ye appeared in time to entangle the great demon, there was still that fourth-tier maid demon at this moment.

After Wang Ershang was seriously injured, the other four Demon Slayers with the cultivation level of the third realm were clearly no match for him, and two more died in a short while.

The remaining two were also seriously injured, lying on the ground barely alive.

"now you."

The maid licked the blood off the back of her hand and walked towards Wang Ershang step by step, her eyes filled with mockery.

Wang Ershang wanted to grip the knife, but he couldn't lift his hand.

Despair was evident in his eyes.

If only we had listened to Master Jiang earlier, things wouldn't have come to this!

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came, and Jiang Mu, carrying a watermelon, jumped over the wall and rushed into the yard.

Seeing the scene before him, Jiang Mu was speechless:

"Wang Ershang, you really are an idiot."

The maid's eyes lit up when she saw a handsome, masculine man suddenly appear, and she smiled:

"What a handsome young man."

"If you use it to nourish your wife's skin, it will look beautiful."

Skin care?

Jiang Mu's gaze swept over the several corpses on the ground, and he slowly drew his knife.

I think you're nothing but a piece of trash from Biyang.
