The demon-slaying sword flew out instantly, turning into a red meteor under the dark night sky.
The long tail of light swayed, gorgeous and dreamy, and the speed was almost extremely fast.
Puff.
The paper man let out a scream, his body was pierced directly by the demon-slaying knife, and he fell to the ground.
You walked out of the coffin shop with striding strides.
The paper man was stuck on the ground by the demon-slaying knife and couldn't move. The punctured wound was constantly being burned by Jiuyang's inner energy, and white smoke kept coming out.
"Let me go!"
"I can tell you a big secret."
The paper man obviously has no mouth, but he can speak.
His voice was unusually hoarse and jerky, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
"I'm not interested in your secrets, but I really want to know why you evil cultivators came to Huai County?" Zhou You held the handle of the knife and slowly input a trace of Nine Yang's inner energy.
Chi chi chi~
As the hot inner air poured in, the paper man kept screaming.
It's a pity that this place is so remote that no one comes back here at night.
"Because...a corpse!" The paper man endured the severe pain and said quickly.
"What corpse? What does this have to do with you killing Magistrate Zeng?" Zhou You frowned slightly and stopped inputting Jiuyang's inner energy.
"My junior brother and I are both evil cultivators of the Yin Corpse lineage... We found in an ancient book that there is an ancient tomb near Huai County, where a former general is buried."
"Our brothers and sisters have checked the information and found out that the general had the fate of killing a wolf. He was violent and cruel by nature. His body was shrouded in evil energy and will not rot for ten thousand years. It can be used to refine it into blood zombie!"
The paper man tells the truth.
Hearing this, Zhou You became even more puzzled: "Then why did you want to harm Magistrate Zeng?"
"It can only be said that his life was not good. When my brothers arrived in Huai County, they found that the general's ancient tomb had been discovered by local villagers. Zeng Feng seemed to pay special attention to this ancient tomb and even sent officers and soldiers to guard it.
"
"Junior brother thought this person was troublesome, so he simply killed the county magistrate and caused chaos in Huai County. Naturally, no one paid attention to the ancient tombs."
"In fact, it is true... After Zeng Feng died, Huai County was in chaos, and no one paid attention to that ancient tomb anymore."
Zhou You sneered: "You killed the county magistrate, are you not afraid of us demon slayers?"
"Hehe... To be honest, we don't care at all. We originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Huai County to steal the general's body and leave directly. No matter how powerful your demon slayer department is, what can you do?" the paper man issued.
Weird laugh.
Zhou You remained silent.
He also knew in his heart that the paper man was telling the truth.
In fact, not every task of the Demon Slayer can be completed.
According to statistics, the mission completion rate of the Demon Slayer Division is only about 60% every year.
If the demons are treacherous, it is simpler. They do things roughly and simply, but they have no sense, so it is easy to find their traces.
But if evil cultivators are at work, these guys won't stay where they are. They will kill people and run away, and the demon slayer will be helpless.
There were only a few manpower in the first place, so it was impossible to spend several months chasing and killing them. The gains outweighed the losses.
"Then why haven't you left these days?"
Zhouyou changed the question.
"Because an accident occurred that we couldn't believe at all... The ancient tomb was set up with a enchantment array, and this array was designed very cleverly. If it is demolished with violence, the entire ancient tomb will collapse, and it can only be cracked slowly
.”
"Furthermore, our senior brothers also knew from some channels that the people from the Demon Slayer Division had gone to the east. We thought that no one could be found to deal with it for the time being. So we continued to lurk in Huai County and slowly cracked the enchantment array."
There was a hint of regret in the paper man's tone.
This trace of regret is naturally not regret for killing Zeng Feng.
After knowing that his junior brother was killed by the demon slayer, he naturally had the idea of revenge for him.
But he also knew in his heart that his own strength was comparable to that of his junior brother, so he might not be the opponent of the demon slayer.
He has been staying in Huai County all this time because he still wanted to refine the corpse of the general in the ancient tomb into a blood zombie.
You must know that once the blood zombie is successfully refined, it will have blood grudge-level combat power with unlimited potential.
Moreover, the newly born blood zombies will be extremely hungry and need to drink a lot of blood.
At that time, the entire Huai County will be reduced to a hell on earth, and hundreds of thousands of people will become blood food.
As long as he absorbs enough blood, he can even be promoted to the Black Nightmare level Blood Zombie King.
Of course, the hundreds of thousands of people in Huai County alone are definitely not enough.
But killing a demon slayer is an easy task for Blood Zombie.
Unfortunately, the paper man was only one step away from cracking the enchantment formation, but Zhou You came to find him.
After Zhou You listened, he felt a deep helplessness in his heart.
He did not expect that these evil cultivators would be so rampant.
If the magistrate says to kill, he will be killed.
Even the Demon Slayer didn't take it seriously.
But then I thought about it, if the fat man hadn't led me here, I wouldn't have found this coffin shop at all.
Maybe, this evil cultivator will really succeed.
"This evil cultivator is much more difficult to deal with than the treacherous demon..."
Zhou You sighed in his heart.
And because of this, his mind relaxed slightly.
The evil cultivator who seemed to be resigned to his fate suddenly burst into murderous intent in his eyes!
Its face without any facial features revealed a big mouth, with densely packed teeth that emitted a cold light like jagged teeth.
The paper man's neck stretched out strangely, biting Zhou You's neck fiercely, so fast that it was like a bolt of lightning, making it impossible for anyone to react!
"You still want to sneak attack me!!!"
Zhou You was already on guard, his fist was filled with fiery aura, and he punched out hard.
Violent power bursts out like a volcano!
hiss!
A sound like tearing cloth sounded.
The paper man's head was punched so fiercely that it was torn apart from the body and fell into the distance.
However, the head was floating strangely in the air, trying to escape into the distance.
For evil cultivators, the physical body is not important.
As long as the soul can escape, it can change its body at any time.
Zhou You sneered, pulled out the demon-slaying sword that was stuck on the ground, jumped heavily, and shot it out like an arrow from a string.
Whoosh!
Seal the Demon·Broken Jade Cut.
A ray of sword light passed by under the pale moonlight.
Poignant, dazzling and gorgeous.
Plop.
The head floating in the air is divided into two parts from the middle of the eyebrows.
It fell to the ground with a thud.
A white shadow emerged from the sky.
Jiejie~
The twisted and weird shadow behind Zhouyou let out an extremely weird laugh, as if it had seen some extremely delicious food and eagerly pounced on it.
"Ahhhh~"
The white shadow let out a scream, and seemed to have no resistance in front of the red-clothed shadow, and was immediately swallowed up.
"The evil thoughts absorb the souls of evil cultivators and grow rapidly..."
"The Demon-Sealing Sword Sutra is promoted to the realm of great achievement!"
The cold voice of the system sounded in Zhou You's mind.
