Chapter 68: Killing Blow (5 updates)

Boom!!A punch landed on the tentacle, the tentacle flattened on the ground, forming a large bulge.

Pain inflicted, the Eight-clawed Demon panicked inside its heart.

It no longer cared about the arrows in the night sky.

Compared to the arrows that might come again at any moment, the indestructible monster before its eyes was truly the most terrifying!

Boom!!

Another punch, two tentacles were directly paralyzed.

It felt its life hanging by a thread, with only four tentacles left under its control.

Boom!!

A punch, and another one was paralyzed!

"Wait..."

Boom!!

The Eight-clawed Demon was finally scared.

The fear of death made it hastily lift the last two tentacles, revealing the human underneath.

But, it was too late.

Just as it raised its tentacles, Fang Yu caught one with a backhand.

The once mighty Eight-clawed Demon, with its tentacles continuously being destroyed, had lost most of its strength and was unable to resist when Fang Yu grabbed it like this.

"Spare, spare me one..."

The Eight-clawed Demon didn’t finish its plea, only to see Fang Yu revealing a carefree and sunny smile, which was so conspicuous in the dark night.

The next instant...

Boom!!

A punch from Fang Yu penetrated the tentacle!

, gaining Experience Points 500.]

Black liquid sprayed out.

Like reaching the end of its life, the Eight-clawed Demon couldn’t even scream as its body continually shrank, eventually becoming a palm-sized piece of black wrinkled skin.

Fang Yu was taken aback; this guy turned out to be quite unique in death.

Thinking it over, it seemed that the flesh and blood of demons were quite valuable.

Fang Yu hadn’t learned any skills in collecting materials, but such materials that could be directly picked up should be saved. He’d ask someone later about their use and if they were valuable.

Fang Yu was still very interested in making money.

After a series of actions, surviving a near-death experience, and even counterkilling the Three Demons, Fang Yu was very satisfied with his actions today.

The only confusion was the mysterious Outer Heaven Arrow and who had fired it.

If that arrow had hit him...

Fang Yu shivered at the thought, that arrow could have been the end of him.

Regardless, having solved the hidden danger of the Three Demons, the day’s work was already perfect, and it was best to avoid stirring up more trouble.

He just hoped that the Evil Qi would dissipate quickly, otherwise, if a few demons of this level came every day, his character might be ruined.

Although he had already overcome an 800 HP demon with sheer strength, Fang Yu, after giving it some thought, felt that he could actually solo demons with up to 500 HP.

For demons with 800 HP or 1000 HP, it was better not to engage directly for now.

Scanning the surroundings, there was still a health bar glowing in the corner!

This gave Fang Yu a scare, but upon closer inspection:

Critically wounded and unconscious!

Fang Yu had not yet had time to grapple with his conscience when he suddenly heard voices not far away.

His heart stirred, Fang Yu quickly went to the spot where the Eight-clawed Demon had burst his heart, swiped his clothing across the ground, scooped up a pile of remains that might be mixed with his own shattered heart, hastily wrapped them, and then darted into the darkness of the night, disappearing into the night.

A minute later, Li Baizhen arrived with eight of his trusted retainers.

Upon seeing the chaos, the large pools of fresh blood, and the remnants of flesh, the stench of blood in the air immediately prompted these veterans to skillfully coordinate and deploy their formation.

But then, a voice rang out.

"There should be no enemies left."

The eight men had an inexplicable trust in Li Baizhen.

Once Li Baizhen spoke, the others immediately retracted their formation and began to scatter to collect intelligence from the scene.

"Captain, Xia Feng is dead, and Fu Niuliang is still alive, but unconscious."

"Administer medicine, make him regain consciousness."

"Yes!"

A Medicine Pill taken, and Fu Niuliang slowly came to.

Just as he regained consciousness, he immediately widened his eyes and screamed in terror.

"Fu Niuliang?"

"Brother Liang, it’s us!"

Seeing his colleagues, Fu Niuliang gradually calmed down.

"Tell us what happened here? Chasing after a demon that smashed into the wall and fled, how has someone ended up dead?"

At the time, Li Baizhen was confident in his shot, hitting the strongest demon there.

But he couldn’t lock on for his second arrow; without the support of a Cultivation Technique, his archery skills couldn’t reach such monstrous levels.

However, just threatening with an arrow at the ready, without releasing it, was enough.

In Li Baizhen’s opinion, for a demon that crashed into a wall fleeing, wasn’t it almost certain that two captains and his arrow would handle it?

But the situation turned out much more complicated than he thought.

"Reporting to the Captain, there were... demons! Two of them!"

"One with immense strength, in the blink of an eye... Xia Feng..."

"One was fairly strong, but I was no match with the other demon by its side."

Li Baizhen asked curiously.

"So how did you survive?"

He had already seen Xia Feng’s corpse, a terrifying sight, surely there was a huge gap in strength with his adversary.

"I—I don’t know, that Dog Bone Demon knocked me unconscious, and when I woke up..."

Dog Bone Demon, huh...

Li Baizhen looked to the side at the scattered bones.

The Dog Bone Demon should be dead.

And as for the other Tentacle Demon mentioned by Fu Niuliang, there was only a pool of black liquid on the ground.

Approaching the black liquid, Li Baizhen squatted down, touched a bit with his finger, and tasted it with the tip of his tongue.

Li Baizhen opened his eyes, a flicker of confusion passing through them.

"The blood of an Eight-clawed Demon? Such a large pool... If it’s not dead, it must be seriously injured!"

Li Baizhen immediately dispatched men to scout the surroundings.

Meanwhile, he continued to investigate the scene himself.

Soon, he found something he couldn’t comprehend.

"White... powder?"

"What is this... Ugh!"

"Bone Powder? And it’s from human bones?"

Li Baizhen was somewhat puzzled.

But that’s how investigations are; not every clue is laid out in front of you.

Demon cases require even more cautious investigation, after all, a single misstep could cost an innocent human life!

"Bone Powder... Bone Powder..."

"Strange demon corpses..."

"Could there be... a third human at the scene?"

Li Baizhen seemed to discern something, yet filled with uncertainty.

"And where did the wall-crashing demon go? None of the demon bodies at the scene match the hole in the wall."

Li Baizhen started to get a headache.

Investigations weren’t actually his forte; his martial prowess was merely sufficient for providing safety.

Thinking of the object that was on its way from the higher-ups tomorrow, Li Baizhen felt the pressure again.

However, the tasks that needed to be done still had to be carried out.

He took out a note from his bosom.

On it were the names of the suspicious individuals to be investigated first.

Diao Deyi’s name was conspicuously at the top.
