East of Jingyu County.

In the middle of a manor.

Everywhere there were ruins, and red blood flowed along the stagnant water.

In that piece of broken building, a monster can be faintly seen, its body is like a fish, its head is like a snake, and it has six legs and six claws, and its body is huge and several feet, at this time, between the sharp claws of the front four legs, each grasping a part of the flesh and blood blurred mutilated limbs, is constantly put into the mouth to feast, and the creaking sound of chewing bones is shocking.

And on the low slope not far from this building, Yan Guang was curled up at this time, hiding behind a big rock, looking at this scene from afar with a very ugly face.

"The Water Demon Relic ......"

Fifth-order demons, this is not something that ordinary martial artists can deal with, either it has to be the existence of the Five Visceral Realm, or it has to be the kind of elite army that can form a military formation and contain the demon power to strangle.

Jingyu County is basically the property of the Xue family, including many manors outside the county government, and this manor that was almost completely destroyed is also one of them, but seeing the water demon raging in it, he didn't dare to go over at all.

Even.

Not only did he not dare to go over, but he also tried his best to restrain his breath when he hid here.

In fact, Yan Guang's heart was extremely low at this time, the appearance of a fifth-order monster was a big disaster in the past, and the loss of a manor was actually acceptable, but the problem was that it was too close to the county government!

If this monster, after wreaking havoc in this manor, rushed to the county government, the loss is not a little bit, the people in the county government are too late to move, and even if they have time, it is impossible to do it, which is different from the following villages and villagers to move and take refuge, the county government has too many people, and there are huge losses if you move casually.

That's when it happened.

A scout figure came from a distance, cautiously approaching.

"Is there any news from Pingsha Lake?"

Yan Guang asked in a low voice at the scout.

Pingsha Lake is the new name of the area in the lower reaches of the Qingping River, because the previous vein rupture has sunken down to form a lake, which happens to be located at the junction of the lower reaches of the Qingping River and the Jinsha River, so each takes a word as a temporary name, of course, this temporary name often becomes the actual name in the future.

"Not yet."

The scout didn't care about saluting at this time, and he also glanced at the tragic situation in the manor in the distance with frightened eyes, and responded carefully to Yan Guang in a low voice.

Yan Guang's expression was very ugly at this time, there was no news from Pingsha Lake, and he couldn't ask for the help of the true legend, and the lord of Xue City was far away in other river areas, even if he got the news, it would not be a moment or a half to rush over, and it was basically impossible to have time, there was still Meng Tianzhang, the master of the Demon Slaying Division, on the side of Yucheng, but at this time, Meng Tianzhang would definitely be in Yucheng and would not move.

As for the four sects such as the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Hehuan Sect, in fact, they can also try to ask for help at this time, but they have not found the true lineage and deacon of their sect, which is also understandable, after all, the rupture of the leyline is very rare, and most of them are still exploring under the leyline, and no one will come up before the rift of the leyline is closed.

"Only try to lure this demon away?"

Yan Guang took a deep breath in his heart.

At this moment, if you want to avoid the disaster of the county government, you can only find a way to lure away this water demon, but the problem is that it is not easy to lure the other party away, and the ordinary martial artist who is easy to practice muscles and meat does not run far in front of him, even if it is a bone forging realm like him, once he is targeted, there is a high probability that he will be dead.

In this case, who would want to lure the water demon away.

Heap with human life?

Yan Guang hesitated for a while.

But at this moment, a sudden thunder rang out in the dark clouds.

It seemed to be the first thunder since the beginning of spring, which suddenly illuminated the heavens and the earth, resounding in all directions, and even made the scout behind Yan Guang, who was already nervous, couldn't help but shake his body, stepped on the puddle, and splashed a large splash.

Suddenly.

In the dilapidated house, the water demon Fengyi, who was gnawing at the flesh and blood, suddenly stopped, and on the huge body, the head that looked like a snake's head turned, and a pair of eyes looked in the direction of Yan Guang and the others.

"Not good."

Yan Guang was suddenly shocked in his heart, and secretly shouted that it was not good.

Almost the next moment, he stepped on his whole foot, pulled his legs and retreated, quickly retreating into the distance.

The few nearby retinues and scouts were all frightened at this time, and they all wanted to escape, but in an instant, with a surging demonic power permeating the air, the rain seemed to freeze for a short time, causing everyone to freeze in place at once.

Swish!

It's almost an instant.

The huge body of the water demon Fengyi had already flashed out from between the ruins and broken walls, and a pair of tail feet among the six legs under the abdomen trampled on the huge rock where Yan Guang was hiding before, and the huge body stood up.

Rumble!

The rock shook violently, as if it could not bear it, and cracks appeared on the surface.

Several scouts and attendants nearby were stunned, unable to even move under the shock of the demonic power, their eyes were full of fear, and they couldn't even gather their consciousness for a while.

But at this time.

Bang.

Another thunderbolt fell, but this thunderbolt fell straight towards the head of the water demon, covering its huge body with a bang, and the brilliant thunder exploded at close range, making everyone close their eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the huge body of the water demon Fengyi was frozen there, and there were traces of lightning strikes on his body and scorched from the top and bottom of his body, but more importantly, directly above his head, I don't know when there was one more person, and a knife in his hand pierced straight into his skull, and went straight into the handle.

"Hiss!!"

Suffering such a heavy blow, this fifth-order water demon was still not dead, and its solidified body moved again, and let out a terrible and angry roar, and a demonic power spread, causing the water on the nearby ground to sweep one after another, turning into a bundle of curtains and rising into the sky, towards the figure directly above its head.

However, Chen Mu's eyes were flat, and he suddenly pulled out the Flowing Fire Knife, jumped high and high, avoiding the water flowing from all directions, and then raised the knife in his hand and held it high in the air.

Zizi!

There is a faint thunder arc above the blade, and in the dark clouds above the sky, there are also faint thunder arcs intertwined.

Then, as his knife swung down, there was another thunderous explosion, and a beam of thunder light fell from the sky in the dark clouds, falling on the flowing fire knife in his hand, and the whole person swung down with the thunder light.

The brilliant thunder beam first sank into the surging water curtain, causing the entire curtain to spread out intertwined thunder arcs, and then the knife in his hand slashed down, and with one knife split the huge snake head of the water demon Fengzhi from the center into two halves!

Crash.

Chen Mu's figure turned over in the air and landed in a puddle more than ten zhang away, splashing around his body, and there were faint traces of thunder and arcs around his body.

Under the shocked gaze of Yan Guang and the others, the huge body of the water demon Fengyi stumbled a few times and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Ahem."

Just when Yan Guang and the others were still immersed in shock, Chen Mu coughed up a wisp of black mist in his mouth, a wry smile flashed in his eyes and shook his head, this was the first time he tried to use the 'Heavenly Time' of the thunder, the power was indeed extraordinary, and he didn't even bless Xunfeng and Lihuo, so he left this fifth-order water demon Feng under the knife, but it was precisely because the power was so great that even he was a little difficult to fully bear, but fortunately, the Evil Breaking Thunder Spear on his body absorbed a lot of the power of the Heavenly Thunder for him, and it was no big deal.

It seems that the heavenly thunder still can't be triggered casually, at least until he has practiced all the artistic conceptions such as Genshan and Duize, and has the two realms of mountains and rivers that can better carry the power of heavenly thunder, so that he can calmly use the heavenly time of the artistic conception of thunder.

Crash.

The rain that had briefly solidified between heaven and earth before fell again.

Chen Mu slowly stood up in the rain, and at this time, Yan Guang and the others had also seen Chen Mu's figure clearly.

Chen ...... My lord? ”

The few official scouts who escaped death were all looking at Chen Mu with wide eyes at this time, and Yan Guang in the distance was also shocked at this time.

However, before he could take the initiative to step forward, Chen Mu had already stepped down, crossed by him, and walked in the direction of the county government, and said at the same time: "The body of the water demon will be transported back to the county government for the time being, and you will deal with other things." ”

After the sound fell.

Chen Mu's figure had disappeared into the rain curtain.

Only Yan Guang and several servants were left to stand frozen in the rain, and after a long time, they finally came back to their senses, glanced at each other, and saw that there was still a shock in each other's eyes that had not yet subsided.

Chen Mu didn't care about the reaction of Yan Guang and the others, and after giving instructions, he went all the way back to the county capital of Jingyu County.

"Lord Chen?"

Jingyu County Commander was anxiously circling under the eaves of the main gate of the county government at this time, waiting for intelligence news, and suddenly saw Chen Mu's figure coming from the rain, and after reacting, he hurriedly saluted Chen Mu, and said: "Lord Chen, the east of the county government ......."

"It's done."

Chen Mu crossed the courtyard of the county government in one step, walked by the side, did not stop, and said calmly: "I want to rest for a while, if there is nothing important, don't come and disturb." ”

As the words fell.

His figure disappeared into the county government in a few steps, leaving only the county magistrate of Jingyu County still standing there in a daze.

……

Return to the courtyard where you used to rest.

Chen Mu came to the door.

At the same time as pushing the door open, the power of Yuan Gang on his body shook, shaking away all the muddy splashes, and then a flame emerged from his body, rolled up and wrapped, and the clothes on his body became dry in an instant.

He stepped into the room, closed the door, came to the Taishi chair and sat down, put a little tea into the kettle, boiled a cup of hot tea, and at the same time put aside the burden and various harvests on his body, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the tidal plague has not yet ended, the largest turmoil in the leylines has subsided, and the floods and rivers are basically stable, and there will be no greater turmoil in the future, at most some monster invasions.

"It's finally over."

He picked up his teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and closed his eyes slightly.

Window.

The drizzle continued.
