In the world of demons and warriors, I slay demons through wordplay.

Chapter 42 The Arrival of the Demon Slayer Division

late at night.

Liaocheng, the inner city.

Yichun Courtyard.

"Sir, why are you leaving in the middle of the night?"

In bed, the naked young woman feigned anger.

"What do you know, you lowly woman! Something terrible has happened!"

The elderly man, whose hair was completely white on both sides, hurriedly put on his shoes and ran out the door without even putting on his pants properly.

"What's going on? Why are the Demon Slayers suddenly coming to Liaocheng? Weren't they supposed to have half a month left...?"

"What's wrong with Ding Sen? His information is so inaccurate! Sigh!"

As the local official in charge of governing a region, even though his power is lower than that of a ninth-rank martial artist, the county magistrate is still an indispensable figure in governing the area.

however.

The county magistrate of Liaocheng, however, acted as a hands-off manager, handing everything over to the Demon Subduing Office.

They ignored everything outside their window and only cared about the delicious food at home.

The only thing he cared about was the patrols of the Demon Slayer Division.

Although Ding Sen repeatedly assured him that he could definitely handle the Demon Slayer Division.

But tonight I saw those magnificent fireworks with my own eyes.

The county magistrate still had a bad feeling.

"Ding Sen just arrived in Liaocheng today. Could it be that he and the Demon Slayer Bureau are following him?"

"This is bad, I have to leave Liaocheng immediately!"

"Quickly, prepare a horse for me! Escort me to Liuzhou!"

The county magistrate roared at the soldiers on night watch outside the house.

however.

No one answered.

"Damn it, are you all asleep?! Can't you hear me?!"

The county magistrate suddenly pushed the door open.

The sight before him horrified him.

All he saw were his guards lying haphazardly on the ground.

His eyes were wide open, his mouth slightly agape; he was dead beyond any doubt.

"How...how could this be? Who is it...?"

Da da da.

At this time.

A series of footsteps sounded from the darkness, approaching from afar.

Several figures walked into the light.

All the visitors were dressed in long, dark robes with a black and gold koi embroidered on their chests, and wore mocking smiles on their faces.

The county magistrate's heart sank to the bottom.

It was actually the Demon Slayer Division that came in person!

"I see that the county magistrate is busy with many affairs of state and cares deeply for the people. He is overwhelmed with work and has no energy to spare. Therefore, I have come to help you subdue the demon."

The man in the lead clapped his hands.

"How should the county magistrate thank me?"

One of his men immediately threw out a blood-stained sack.

"Aren't you going to open it and see what gift the boss gave you?" the young man who had lost his things chuckled.

The county magistrate, trembling, squatted down, opened the sack, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"This...this is!"

What came into view was a wolf's head!

The Wolf King, one of the Four Demons!

What the leading man said next struck him like a thunderbolt:

"Are you that surprised to see your old friend die?"

The county magistrate's face turned deathly pale.

"No, I didn't collude with demons! It wasn't me! It was all Ding Sen, it was all him who forced me!"

"Shut your dog mouth."

Xu Hu waved his hand impatiently: "Take him away."

"yes!"

Xu Hu frowned and said to his subordinates, "I knew these border areas had poor security, but I didn't expect these bastards to be so blatant in colluding with demons."

"They're nothing but a bunch of bedbugs from a cesspool!"

"Even if Ding Sen dies a thousand times, it will not quell the hatred in my heart!"

A man dressed as a peddler said, "Boss, I've found out what you asked me to do. Ding Sen led his men to Xu Family Village not long ago."

"Xu Family Village?"

Xu Hu said coldly, "Alright, he must have gone to find that pig demon again."

"Not only that," Liu Luyang said in a low voice, "I heard from a constable named Niu San in the yamen that Ding Sen went to find his subordinate Lin Bufan and the whereabouts of the swordsman."

He then relayed Niu San's words one by one.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Xu Hu asked in surprise, "If what you say is true, then Ding Sen must have killed the swordsman to silence him because the swordsman threatened his rule."

Liu Luyang said, "We must stop that evil constable. If we can bring that sword cultivator into the Demon Slayer Division, that would be even better."

Xu Hu nodded: "Let's go together."

His men led out several groups of spirit beasts and wind horses.

The wind-driven horse was tireless and swift as the wind. The group quickly mounted their horses and soon left the inner city.

……

Xujiazhuang.

The cool moonlight shone on the roof of the manor.

Li Qingchen stood with his hands behind his back.

Gazing at the lingering glow of fireworks on the horizon, he raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Lin Bufan beside him:

"Why is the Demon Slayer Division setting off these fireworks? They look dazzling, but they don't seem like ordinary celebratory fireworks."

Lin Bufan, his expression grave, gazed in the direction where the fireworks had faded and explained in a deep voice:

"This is not a simple firework; it is a special demon-finding signal made by the Demon Slayer Division."

As far as I know, the Demon Slayer Division has captains who are skilled in demon-hunting techniques.

After these fireworks are set off, all demons that see them will have a hidden tracking mark left in their pupils, making them impossible to hide from within a hundred miles.

"There's such a technique?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Qingchen's eyes.

The methods of the Demon Slayer Division are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people!

Lin Bufan breathed a sigh of relief:

"Now that the Demon Slayers have arrived, the matter of demons and monsters in Liaocheng should soon be settled."

"Has the dust settled?"

Li Qingchen sighed: "Doesn't that mean the number of demons left for me to kill will be greatly reduced?"

If the Demon Slayer Division wipes out all the demons and evil spirits in Liaocheng, where will they get more resurrection chances?

We can't possibly compete with the Demon Slayer Division for kills, or even attack them, can we?

Thinking of this,

Li Qingchen no longer hesitated.

With a flick of his wrist, he drew his longsword, his fingertips forming a sword incantation, and he uttered a soft shout:

"rise!"

Stepping onto the sword, one is about to drift away with the wind.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Bufan was taken aback.

"Let's go earn some extra money," Li Qingchen said.

If you enter the game and keep getting ambushed by shady merchants, even thirty lives won't be enough.

You can never have too many lives!

We must slay as many demons as possible before our competitors make a move!

however.

Before they had traveled more than a few feet, they ran into the Demon Slayer Division, which had rushed over in a great hurry.

Seeing the black and gold koi embroidered on their clothes, Li Qingchen, recalling Lin Bufan's instructions, quickly realized that they were from the Demon Slayer Division.

After a moment's thought, I realized the reason.

Immediately change direction and drive off into the distance.

"Boss, should we chase or not?" Liu Luyang was taken aback by his skillful use of sword control.

Xu Hu said, "No rush. Since he's deliberately avoiding meeting us, even if we win him over, it won't make much of a difference."

"Find that kid and get the details before making any plans."

That kid was naturally referring to Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan took a deep breath and told him the whole story of Liaocheng.

After listening to Lin Bufan's account, the members of the Demon Slayer Division looked at each other in bewilderment.

This person was able to wipe out all the descendants of the Mountain of Flesh all by himself!

"Where is Ding Sen?"

"Reporting to you, sir, Ding Sen is... there."

Lin Bufan looked embarrassed and pointed to a small mound of earth.

Even with his taciturn nature, he couldn't hold back any longer at this moment.

Whose swordsman, after killing an enemy, would bury them with a shovel?

Xu Hu turned to the crowd and asked, "Does anyone know the meaning behind that swordsman's actions?"

Liu Luyang scratched his head and tentatively replied:

"Perhaps it's...a custom from his hometown?"
