Chapter 113 Demon
Mr. Li was very happy afterwards and immediately asked him to treat the young lady. The result was as expected. After Miss Li woke up, Mr. Li took out fifty taels as a medical fee.
It was at this time that an accident happened. The man did not want the medical fee, but instead wanted Miss Li to marry him. Upon hearing this, Mr. Li naturally did not want to and rejected him on the spot.
He also increased the consultation fee to one hundred taels. After all, he cured Miss Li's strange disease. The man, who was originally easy to talk to, changed his face on the spot when he heard Mr. Li's refusal, claiming that if he did not agree to the marriage, Miss Li would never wake up again.
Mr. Li had seen a lot of storms and waves, so he would not be scared by him. He did not pay the medical fee on the spot and asked his servants to drive him out.
After that, Miss Li fell into a coma again and could not be awakened no matter what method was used. Mr. Li suspected that she had encountered an evil spirit, so he invited a capable Taoist priest that day. The Taoist priest said that Miss Li was possessed by a ghost and wanted to exorcise the ghost on the spot. However, he did not expect that the evil spirit could not be driven away and he was seriously injured. In desperation, he found the county magistrate, who also realized the seriousness of the matter and reported it directly to the Demon Suppression Division.
After hearing this, Leng Ningshuang slammed the table and said, "How outrageous! I didn't expect such a thing would happen." She then said to Zhou Chen, "Brother Zhou, let's go and take a look."
Zhou Chen didn't want to waste time, so he immediately came to Mr. Li under the arrangement of a constable.
Mr. Li had been worried about his daughter's affairs during this period. When he learned that someone from the Demon Suppression Bureau had arrived, he immediately ran out to greet them, "My two lords, you are finally here. Please save my precious daughter," he said as he was about to kneel down.
Zhou Chen went straight forward and helped Mr. Li up, "Mr. Li, please stand up, you're welcome," and then followed Mr. Li to Miss Li.
Since it was inconvenient for Zhou Chen to go in, she asked Leng Ningshuang to go in and check. Leng Ningshuang went in to check and didn't see anything unusual. After coming out, she shook her head helplessly.
When Mr. Li saw Leng Ningshuang shaking her head, he was so scared that he knelt down in front of the two of them. Zhou Chen helped him up again and said, "Don't be like this. I heard about this matter from the county magistrate. Since that evil guy has improper thoughts about the young lady, he will not hurt her for the time being."
Mr. Li seemed to have thought of something and said quickly, "By the way, that demon said that if I ever figure it out, I can go to the mountain temple ten miles away to find him."
"Mountain God Temple" Zhou Chen and the other man looked at each other, and then Zhou Chen asked Li Yuanwai to go to the Mountain God Temple to find the monster.
Mr. Li was also a smart man and immediately understood what the two meant, "Okay, I'll send someone right away."
"No, Mr. Li, please go in person."
Mr. Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded and asked his servants to prepare the carriage.
Half an hour later, Mr. Li arrived at the mountain god temple. After what happened to Li Qianjin, the incense offerings at the mountain god temple suddenly dropped by more than half, even though it was already approaching dusk.
However, there are usually pilgrims in the mountain temple at this time, but now there is no one there. Mr. Li couldn't help feeling a little worried, but for the sake of his daughter he still went in.
There was no one in the mountain temple. Mr. Li asked his servants to look around but couldn't find anyone. Just when he thought the monster had left, suddenly a burst of laughter came into his ears.
"Haha, Mr. Li, have you figured it out?" Mr. Li looked back and found that the monster was standing not far behind him. Not only Mr. Li but also the servants beside him were shocked, because they had clearly looked for him before, and there was clearly no one in this mountain temple. Where did this person come from?
Mr. Li said tremblingly, "I've thought it through. Come back with me and marry my daughter."
"Haha, father-in-law, don't wait for me to pack up and go back with you to marry the young lady right away."
Li Yuanwai's heart tightened when he heard the word "father-in-law". At this moment, Zhou Chen's voice came in, "No need to pack up, just go on the road." Li Yuanwai was delighted when he heard Zhou Chen's voice and immediately left the mountain temple with the servants. The demon's face changed when he heard Zhou Chen's voice. He wanted to chase after Li Yuanwai who had escaped, but he sensed danger as soon as he took a step forward. The moment he retreated, a knife energy chopped directly at the place where he had just stood.
The monster looked up and saw Zhou Chen and the other man standing on the beams of the house holding the Demon-Slaying Swords. The two men had not been to the government office, and the monster didn't know where they came from, "Who came from, young man, to ruin my good deeds?"
The more Leng Ningshuang looked at this guy, the angrier he became, so he raised his sword and went to kill him. The demon was not afraid at all, and a pitch-black sword appeared in his hand, and he rushed towards Leng Ningshuang's demon-suppressing sword.
Although the mission mentioned a ninth-grade monster, when Zhou Chen activated his skills to observe, he discovered that the monster was actually of the eighth-grade strength. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn, it seems that the information from the Demon Suppression Bureau is not accurate."
Leng Ningshuang had already practiced the Demon-Suppressing Sword Technique to a small level of success, and was able to handle this eighth-rank monster, so Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to take action.
Just as Leng Ningshuang was about to chop the monster down with his sword, Zhou Chen suddenly sensed a strong aura.
I saw a dagger flying towards Leng Ningshuang's chest. At this time, the Demon-Suppressing Sword in Leng Ningshuang's hand had been caught by the monster, and it was impossible for her to turn around and resist.
Just when he thought he was going to be seriously injured, a palm wind hit the dagger that was rushing towards him and knocked it to the ground.
At the same time, Zhou Chen's figure jumped down from the beam, "Sure enough, there are accomplices."
At this time, another man in strange clothes came out, and Zhou Chen saw dozens of daggers hidden on his waist.
Leng Yiyao also came to Zhou Chen's side, and the demon blocked their retreat and surrounded them.
Leng Ningshuang has already sensed that the monster that just appeared is very powerful, "Brother Zhou, how can we deal with it?"
"It's no big deal. Just deal with the guy behind you and leave the guy in front to me." After saying that, Zhou Chen rushed forward without hesitation.
"Humph, how shameless!" The demon raised his hands, and the dozen daggers on his waist flew directly towards Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was stunned, "He can actually control objects, but it should be a magical power."
Seeing that dozens of daggers had already flown in front of him, Zhou Chen swung the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand, and a burst of sword energy gushed out, directly knocking the daggers away.
The demon was also frightened. Normally, he could easily defeat a peak seventh-rank warrior with his ability to control objects, but today he was easily defeated by this kid.
He already knew Zhou Chen's extraordinaryness, and was also angry at his brother's recklessness. He had told him a long time ago not to provoke humans and to practice well, but he didn't listen and now he had hit a wall.
He thought so in his mind but his hands did not stop moving. He controlled the dagger and shot it towards Zhou Chen continuously. Zhou Chen also approached him step by step, and at the same time, he used the Demon-Suppressing Knife in his hand to continuously block the dagger shot at him.
When he didn't know, a dagger had quietly come behind Leng Ningshuang and directly pressed against his neck. Leng Ningshuang was also frightened by this sudden attack. Seeing this, the demon stepped forward and pressed his sword against his neck and said, "Stop or I will kill him."
Zhou Chen looked back and found that Leng Yiyao had been controlled by the monster, with blood already flowing from her neck.
