Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One: Assassinating Lord Toad

  Chapter 124: Assassinating Crab General

  In the not-so-spacious house.

  Three men stood at the door, their faces pale with fear. One of them walked to the table and respectfully handed over his waist card to the young man: "Lord Shen."

  Liu Bin was stripped of his ink shirt and tied up with five flowers, kneeling in the middle.

  Xiao Qiangwei stood beside him, responsible for keeping watch on their opponent.

  She is now only curious about what Shen Yi wants to do. Since Liu Bin has been captured, why not hurry up and take him back to Tingyang County?

  "Reporting to Lord Shen, the Black Stone Pool's demonic creature is a poisonous toad that has lived for over 4,000 years, with a cultivation base of Condensing Dan Realm. It excels at using poison and occupies the bottomless Black Stone Pool. Even General You can't deal with it easily, which is why Liu General led us to guard this place."

  He spoke in an increasingly low voice.

  It was clear that after Liu Bin's injury, they had long since lost the strength to defend themselves and could only watch as the demon king entered Qingzhou like entering a deserted city. Even one of his trusted personal generals concealed it without reporting it, helping to cover it up.

  "Most of the places where the Imperial Guards are stationed are like this, either with treacherous terrain or astonishing methods, unable to be dealt with, yet too close to the twelve counties of Qingzhou to be left unattended by evil spirits..."

  Xiao Xiangwei subconsciously explained to the other person, and only reacted halfway through, that Shen Yining could be a close relative of the Chen family, even able to wander around freely, and was probably already treated like a son or nephew by Old Man Chen, with an unknown level of closeness in their relationship.

  Wherever you need to be eloquent.

  Or let's talk about something that the demon catcher is good at, she shook her head: "To be precise, it should be a demon king who has reached the stage of forming a dan, and it shouldn't be far from condensing the dan perfectly."

  At this moment, Liu Bin slowly raised his head and stared at Shen Yi behind the desk, with a pale face full of sarcasm: "Indeed, after digesting this will, it's almost enough, so what can you do, Lord Shen?"

  He did countless things for Qingzhou.

  Even this injury was caused by Dugu Xue Yin.

  Just want to wait for five more years, even at the risk of life, rather than let the boundary fall, and be a lifelong follower.

  In the end, he ended up being boiled as a dog, where is justice!

  "Is it that Old Man Chen can't accommodate you, so you want to come to Tingyang County to find another way out? How about this, let's swap, haha!"

  The old man was laughing loudly with his mouth wide open when suddenly a teacup smashed onto his face, splashing tea all over him.

  Shen Yi withdrew her palm and said lightly: "I wasn't going to ask you anyway, so shut up."

  Xiao Qianwei pursed her lips, suddenly admiring his calmness.

  That letter from General You quietly lay on the table, but after Shen Yi calmly sat down, including Liu Bin, no one dared to think about opening it to take a look.

  With this momentum, even the officials thought that General You had given Lord Shen the power to behead first and report later.

  Liu Bin sullenly lowered his head, he actually wanted to see what kind of tricks this arrogant little kid was going to play.

  "Is it still at Heishi Tan?"

  Shen Yi looked at the rest of them.

  It's already difficult to encounter a demon in the Chengdan realm, let alone one that is completely under my control and can even get help from Silver Bell to subdue.

  Earlier, looking at Jiang Chengyun's expression, Xiao Man seemed to have a good relationship with General You.

  Although Heishi Tan Youjun is a family matter of the Demon-Suppressing Department, this can also be considered as helping General You to handle matters. The other party will not just watch with their eyes open.

  If you can get rid of the demon, as a personal attendant and deputy general, after achieving meritorious deeds, you should represent the Demon-Suppressing Department to thank Xiao Man for her assistance in capturing demons.

  "Let's count the days, he should be back in these two days..." The soldiers looked down with shame.

  Xiao Xiangwei frowned, really not knowing what to say. This demon had already reached the point of freely entering and exiting Qingzhou, and even had a regular routine. The one surnamed Liu didn't even plan on informing General You.

  The next moment, Shen Yi stood up, and his words left everyone stunned on the spot.

  "Lead the way."

  Xiao Xiangwei looked at him in shock, finally realizing what he was going to do.

  She opened her mouth to say something, but then smiled helplessly and gave up. The other party might not be very clear about the situation of Hei Shi Tan, nor did they understand why a Dan Jing demon would become a powerful demon that even General You couldn't deal with.

  When they really arrived at the place, Shen Yi naturally wouldn't continue wasting time on this.

  ……

  Three commanders led the way, with over a hundred demon-suppressing officers clearing the path.

  Along a row of wooden buildings winding around the mountain slope, the ground underfoot suddenly became wet and muddy, with a chill emanating from the darkness.

  Ahead is a circular depression.

  Right in the middle, a deep pool of water about 100 feet wide comes into view, its surface calm, yet still makes people feel a bit chilly even before approaching, and inside it is drifting with eerie green mist.

  Xiao Qiangwei dragged Liu Bin forward with a chain: "If it's a hard collision, the poisonous toad may not be his opponent, but because of this cold pond, the demon can live on the edge of Qingzhou's twelve counties for so many years without incident."

  The innate magical powers of the demon are truly enviable for warriors.

  It was clearly the same realm, but the demon could fly into the sky and dive into the sea, and even this terrifying extreme cold couldn't harm the toad king, instead it became a protective barrier for him.

  "It's finished now, time to go."

  Xiao Xiangwei let out a sigh, if it was really that easy to solve, why would it have dragged on until now.

  "No rush, wait for two days."

  "You'd better take care of yourself too, lest your injuries become more severe."

  Shen Yi turned and walked towards several temporary tents, where the people of the Demon-Slaying Department usually kept watch over the demons.

  "I really thank you." Xiao Xiangwei's eyelids twitched, and after walking for so many days, this was the first time the other person had shown concern for her. The result of that concern was to keep her in this cold, bone-chilling place with toxic fog, "resting well".

  "You don't really want to ambush Toad outside, do you?"

  As soon as the words came out, Xiao Xiangwei also reacted.

  The toad king never dealt a fatal blow to Liu Bin, but instead used sinister and evil methods to slowly devour and digest him, of course not out of kindness.

  Most likely, he didn't want to fight Liu Bin to the death, and secondly, he was also unwilling to let You Longtao bring in an even stronger personal guard.

  After such a long time, perhaps the toad has let its guard down... If I really want to ambush it, now is definitely the best opportunity.

  "I suddenly thought of something."

  Xiao Xiangwei looked puzzled, if... if the two of them really succeeded in killing that toad spirit, then its heart's blood...

  "What's wrong?"

  Shen Yi turned around and casually patted the large cloak on his body: "You speak."

  Xiao Xiangwei stared at him silently, seemingly expressionless, but actually furious.

  Wow! In a sudden turn of events, I became an outsider myself, and this matter has become the private affair of the Town Demon Bureau.

  What's even more absurd is that it's still young people who are helping themselves get out of trouble in name only.

  "I finally know why you don't like talking."

  She raised an eyebrow, secretly despising him, pretending to be a foolish and reckless young man, but in reality, her thoughts were more meticulous than anyone else's.

  Shen Yi glanced at Xiao Xiangwei and saw that she didn't intend to ask further, so he turned around and entered the tent.

  At first, the other party used their breath to escort her over, saying those words, what only need to have a definite and error-free message, can ask Town Demon General to take action... treating oneself as a child to coax.

  Not to mention, dealing with these demon catchers can actually teach you a lot of things.

  Seeing the two of them like this, Liu Bin lowered his head, but the sarcastic meaning on his face became even more intense.

  Relying solely on a wounded warrior at the level of Cheng Dan, along with a young man who has practiced some kind of body tempering technique, you think you can take down that toad king?

  I thought I was doomed, but unexpectedly there's still a chance for a turnaround.

  By the time these two are completely drained, that toad demon might even leave itself behind to continue guarding this place.

  ……

  It had been about one day and night.

  Xiao Xiangwei closed her eyes to regulate her breathing and nurture her injuries. Occasionally, she would open her eyes to look at the young man in the distance, only to find that he was as still as a statue, his perfect turtle-breathing posture never wavering... Not to mention that mastering the turtle-breathing technique to this extent was already quite exaggerated.

  Ordinary people who practice martial arts diligently can master three or two forms and achieve great success in their studies, which is already considered to be among the best.

  It's better for you to spend your time on something else rather than wasting it on this trivial matter.

  She was somewhat curious: "With your talent, you should have been highly valued since childhood, how did you cultivate such a cautious personality?"

  Upon hearing this, Shen Yi still didn't turn his head back.

  Highly sought after? It's quite sought after, the canine demon of Xijiao, the black gibbon of Dongshan, the fox demon of Beiyuan, and Baiyun County has only a few such demons, each wanting to take its own life.

  Now also include the Dragon of Yangchun River and the Tiger King of Xitai Mountain.

  He quietly leaned against a cool big tree, and in his heart, he recited these names one by one, and his mood became more calm.

  At this moment, a strong and evil aura slowly swept over, it was clear that the owner of the aura was not tense at all, and the action of hiding the aura was very perfunctory.

  On the black muddy slope opposite the concave land.

  A big-bellied, bearded man, belching loudly and patting his stomach, walked towards the cold pond.

  It was as if he had seen something, and with a smile, he beckoned to the various town demon suppression officers: "You all have worked hard, please go back, I will go back to digest, and on my behalf, ask Lord Liu for his well-being."

  Several people subconsciously lowered their heads.

  Their backbone had long been broken by Liu Bin's repeated orders, to the point where they didn't even have the courage to look straight at this demon king.

  Xiao Xiangwei suddenly stood up, but found that the figure in the black shirt had already stepped into the air and left. Before she could sigh, she also mobilized her inner dan, and a thick aura burst out between her palms.

  Since it's a sneak attack, I'll strike with the strongest blow!

  Boom!

  Shen Yi stepped into the air and stomped down, his long boots fiercely trampling on the bald-headed man's shoulder, while simultaneously drawing out his ink knife.

  After completing the second transformation of Xianyao, the power contained in his body would not be much weaker even when facing a Dan realm demon.

  One foot kicked the bald-headed man down on his knees.

  The long sword ripped through the cold air and suddenly cut into his opponent's neck, splashing dark green blood.

  The toad-like man knelt on the ground, tightly grasping the hilt of his sword.

  Xiao Xiangwei arrived at the same time, and with a surge of murderous intent, she violently smashed down towards this demon.

  Facing such a ruthless ambush.

  The toad was slightly taken aback, but it clutched its knife in one hand and glared up at the approaching Xiao Qianwei.

  The neck was cut extremely deep, and the dark green plasma gushed out, but the corners of his mouth revealed a ferocious smile: "I spoke kindly to you, how did I end up with my nose rubbed in your face?"

  Talking about the boundaries that everyone asks, the Condensing Elixir Boundary is a large boundary, it's just divided into several steps.

  Chu Dan (Mountain Lord's two sons), Cheng Dan (Jiao Jun Zhang Hengzhou), Dan Cheng Yuan Man (Mountain Lord), Bao Dan (Twelve Great Generals, Golden Bell Demon Catcher, White Deer). Don't count Su Dan, because after Su Dan comes the next realm.
