Chapter 132 Leaving
After the talisman burned out, the smoke formed several illusory human figures in the air. Judging from their figures, some of them were the victims, and another one was a young man, but his face was very blurry and he didn't look like the victim.
Even though the figures were formed by smoke, their faces could still be vaguely seen, but the murderer's appearance could not be seen at all.
Suddenly the smoke dispersed and Wang Yong squatted on the ground, gasping for breath. The Taoist magic he just used seemed to have consumed a lot of his energy.
The next day, the village chief sent someone to report to the police, and Zhou Chen and the other two began investigating in the village. However, the results disappointed them a little. The village had been very peaceful since before they arrived, and what happened last night did not happen.
The villagers who went to report to the officials returned to the village in the evening, but no officials came. The village chief asked a few people in confusion, but the result was that they were busy with official duties and were asked to bury the body themselves.
The village chief was not too surprised by this result, as if he had expected it. "Well, let's just put them to death."
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhou Chen heard another scream. Hearing the sound, Zhou Chen and Wang Yong rushed out immediately. As a result, when they arrived, there were also several corpses lying quietly in the house.
The difference was that there were not many villagers watching the fun tonight. Wang Yong used the same Taoist magic, but the result was the same as yesterday, it was still that guy whose face could not be seen clearly.
On the second day, Zhou Chen was practicing when he suddenly heard many footsteps outside the door, and at the same time a loud voice was heard saying "Strangers come out".
Zhou Chen and the other man opened the door and walked out. At this time, the villagers surrounded them with hoes and shovels.
Zhou Chen was a little confused, "What do you mean, folks?"
At this time Leng Ningshuang also climbed over the courtyard wall, and at the same time many villagers walked in from the door. At this time, the village chief came out.
"The three of us in Xinghua Village are all poor people. There is nothing worth your coveting. Please leave our village," said the village chief, bowing deeply to the three people.
This is treating the three of them as the murderers. "Village chief, you misunderstood. What happened these two nights was not done by the three of us."
At this time, someone among the villagers spoke up and said, "It's not you. There was nothing wrong here before you came, but since you came, accidents have happened one after another."
Leng Ningshuang had a bad temper and was about to lose his temper on the spot, Zhou Chen quickly stopped him and shook his head. Wang Yong stepped forward and said, "Actually we are." Zhou Chen turned around and looked at him, then said to the villagers, "In that case, let's leave now."
Then he took the two of them and left. The villagers watched them leave the village far away before they dispersed, "Brother Zhou, are we leaving now?"
Zhou Chen whispered, "Of course it's impossible to leave just like that, but now I can only leave temporarily and come back at night."
"Why don't you just reveal your identity, sir?"
"You must not reveal your identity in this situation, otherwise it will be even more difficult to find Huanli." He then made a hushing gesture, "Keep your voice down, someone is following you."
The villagers behind them returned to the village only after they saw the three people completely far away. After they returned to the village, Zhou Chen and the other two turned around and went back to the vicinity of the village.
They did not enter the village again, but planned to go in later at night. In the countryside, the villagers go to bed early at night. After the lights in the village were completely gone, Zhou Chen and the other two sneaked into the village.
After entering the village, the three of them separated. Zhou Chen was now sitting alone on the roof, looking at the countryside at night. The village was unusually quiet except for the occasional snoring.
Late at night, Zhou Chen suddenly saw a signal coming from a distance, and he rushed over without delay.
"Hmph, little girl, stop meddling in other people's business."
"Die, you evil beast!" As he said this, the Demon-Slaying Knife rushed towards him. Leng Ningshuang was obviously no match for him and was repelled after two moves.
Seeing that he was about to escape, Leng Ningshuang naturally would not agree, and immediately chased him to stop him, "Humph, you are looking for death", and then a demonic energy shot out and hit Leng Ningshuang directly. Leng Ningshuang swung his knife to block, and at the same time his body fell to the wall beside him. Before he hit the wall, a long sword formed by demonic energy flew towards him.
The moment Leng Ningshuang hit the wall, a jade pendant on his chest suddenly cracked. At the same time, a protective shield appeared around his body, which dealt him a fatal blow.
Seeing Zhou Chen coming from a distance, the guy turned around and ran, but his speed was a little slower than Zhou Chen and he was soon caught up.
Zhou Chen looked at the villager in front of him and knew that he was a monster transformed from a beast. "Hmph, I finally found you."
The monster roared and its nails grew rapidly. It grabbed Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen would not show mercy and swung the Demon-Slaying Sword at him.
The monster's strength was slightly weaker than Zhou Chen's. After a few moves, Zhou Chen cut off its arm with a knife and at the same time hit its chest with a palm, killing it on the spot.
At this time Wang Yong also rushed over. Zhou Chen walked forward and looked at his body with some confusion, "It's strange. He is obviously dead, but why does he still look like a villager?"
Zhou Chen activated the Ultimate Eye and looked at his corpse, and found that although there was still demonic energy on this guy, it was very thin and was dissipating quickly.
After Wang Yong performed some Taoist magic, he said, "Strange, this isn't a monster."
"The evil spirit on him is dissipating. Could it be some kind of possession or something like that?"
Wang Yong thought about it and said, "It's possible."
At this time, an old man came to the place where Zhou Chen and his family lived before. The old lady was sleeping with her son in her arms, and her husband was sleeping next to her.
The old man looked at the family of three in front of him, slowly revealing his fangs, and the nails on his hands turned extremely black at this moment.
Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly sensed the danger and the old man quickly turned around to avoid the knife that was about to chop off his back.
The long knife stabbed directly into the place where he had just stood, and the sound also woke up the three people who were sleeping. When they saw the appearance of the old man in front of them, they screamed in fear and quickly protected their children behind them.
The old man ignored them and turned around, broke through the wall and escaped.
After Zhou Chen came in, he drew out the Demon-Slaying Sword and then chased after the old man. Just as the old man was running wildly, he suddenly found Zhou Chen appeared in front of him, and he was so scared that he quickly stopped.
"Village chief, you hid it really well."
"Didn't I lead you away? Why are you back?"
Zhou Chen sneered and ignored him. He swung his knife and chopped the old man's hands, which turned into two cat claws surrounded by black air.
The two cat claws alone were enough to withstand Zhou Chen's Demon-Suppressing Sword. Zhou Chen didn't want to fight with him any longer and directly took out his Fengyun Sword and chopped it down. The old man raised his two huge cat claws with both hands and grabbed the Fengyun Sword directly.
At the moment the two collided, the old man's two huge cat claws were directly shattered. At the same time, he turned into his original form to avoid the knife.
It turned out to be a cat demon. Zhou Chen used the Fengyun Sword again to chop at it. The cat demon screamed and nine tails appeared behind it. Looking at the huge blade in front of it, one of the tails behind the cat demon went straight towards the Fengyun Sword.
After the collision, he actually took out the Fengyun Sword, but he could only hold on with difficulty. "Hmph, you monster, surrender to the law." Zhou Chen would not think of capturing him alive. For him, death is better than life.
