Chapter 0870 Madness

There was a man lying on the grass by the river, drinking water like a wild animal, paying no attention to the noise he made.

Yelin Town is located on the border. Although there has been no large-scale war in recent years, the founders of the new town have not relaxed their vigilance. They have placed many talismans in the forest to make noises when monsters arrive. The visitor was probably very thirsty, so instead of running away or paying attention to the talisman, he ran to the river to drink water.

Shen Xiuming led fifty or sixty young and strong men to stop on the opposite bank, keeping a distance of more than a hundred steps. There were two Fulu masters in the team, and they all obeyed his command.

Shen Xiuming didn't want to cause a meaningless battle. If the other party was a lost monster, he would be willing to show it the way and even give it some food, but he could never stay in the town.

The visitor was full but did not raise his head, but stared blankly at the reflection in the river.

Shen Xiuming signaled a talisman master to stop the talismans shouting in the forest on the other side, and then said loudly: "This is the Yelin Town of Xijie Country. Where did you come from, and where are you going?"

Shen Xiuming said the same words again, and the visitor finally raised his head. It was an old face with disheveled beard and hair, but unlike the demon clan, he had neither pointed ears nor fangs.

"Where did you come from? Where are you going?" The old man stood up. His tattered black robe looked like it had been worn for a long time and was covered with dust and straw sticks. "Good question, who am I? Why do I come here?"

The old man was at a loss, staring at the reflection in the water again, and suddenly laughed, "Ah, I remembered, I was born from a devil, so I naturally want to go to the place where the devil is."

This is a half-demon.

Shen Xiuming immediately waved his hand and led everyone back. The two talisman masters each held several paper talismans in their hands and quietly used them to enhance everyone's protection. At the same time, they also sent out an alarm to the surrounding settlements closest to Yelin Town. The point is twenty miles away, where there are more and more powerful talisman masters stationed there.

"There is nothing you need here." Shen Xiuming said coldly. After the battle at Wangshan, half-demon has become very rare. The few survivors have gone into hiding. The half-demon on the other side of the river is either crazy or has a Important tasks.

It was impossible for reinforcements to arrive so quickly. Shen Xiuming hoped that the half-demon was just passing by.

"It's right here, nearby." The half-demon made a gesture of listening.

"What's here?" Shen Xiuming asked, using his eyes to signal the two Talisman Masters not to act rashly. If the legend is to be believed, the whole town together is no match for the half-demon.

"Demon King, I have been looking for him for a long time. The Demon King chose me, why did he abandon me again? I want to find him and find out." The half-demon was more like talking to himself than answering the question. He changed A voice imitating the Demon King spoke to him: "'Li Qingzhu, among the half-demons, you are the only one who is different. You voluntarily become a demon, and your future is limitless.' That's what he said, but where is he? And him Where is the future promised to me?"

Li Qingzhu's voice suddenly rose, he raised his head, his eyes were cold and ruthless, scanning the faces of dozens of people on the other side one by one, "Everyone, I want everyone here to stand in front of me, the devil is hiding among you. ,immediately!"

A cold wind passed by, and a thin layer of ice instantly formed on the river, and the lush weeds on both sides quickly withered.

The two talisman masters were about to take action when Shen Xiuming reached out to stop them and said to the other side: "The Demon King is not here, but since you want to check, you can, please wait a moment, we will call the whole town over."

"No one left behind."

"no problem."

Shen Xiuming ordered everyone to call for help. He winked at the two Talisman Masters and asked them to contact the nearby Talisman Masters or casual cultivators. They alone could not defeat the half-demon, so helpers must be found as soon as possible.

He stayed alone to appease the half-demon.

Li Qingzhu was obviously crazy, and Shen Xiu clearly knew the difference between a possessed man and a madman. The former looked normal on the outside, but his opinions were sensational, while the latter was just the opposite. His thoughts in his heart were very simple, but his appearance was extremely sloppy.

Li Qingzhu had completely forgotten about his body, and could only think of it when he was extremely hungry or thirsty.

"Where did Mr. Li come from in the past?" Shen Xiuming asked harmoniously, hoping to ease the half-demon's mood. His mission was to ensure that there were no casualties in Yelin Town.

Li Qingzhu didn't answer. He paced back and forth by the river. Every time he turned around, it was very abrupt. His head always turned first, then his body. His movement across the river was even more unexpected: his whole body turned into a puff of black smoke. In an instant, he flew across the river and was more than a hundred steps away. When he arrived in front of Shen Xiuming, he emerged head first again, but his body was still in the shape of smoke.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Shen Xiuming, and I am the guard of Yelin Town." Shen Xiuming said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Yelin Town?" Li Qingzhu's body appeared, and he suddenly knelt in front of Shen Xiuming. It was not a kneeling posture like kowtow, but like a puppy that was only a few months old, curled up into a ball, and reacting to all the things around it. Smells, especially human scents, are of great interest.

The first residents of the town arrived, and Shen Xiuming gently waved his hand behind him, signaling them to stop far away and not come over.

Li Qingzhu sniffed on the ground, crawled around Shen Xiuming, slowly straightened up, sniffed the human body more carefully, and muttered: "Wonderful smell, only the devil has this kind Weird, why don't you come out to see me? I am your loyal servant. I am willing to go through fire and water for you. I will use all the humans and monsters in the world to perform a physical sacrifice and dedicate all my power to you. As long as you give an order, the devil... …”

Shen Xiuming felt creepy, as if there were hundreds of caterpillars crawling on his body, and his body became even stiffer.

Almost all the residents of the town have arrived, and the five children who were digging holes in the school have also arrived. They want to rush to Father Shen, but are tightly held by the adults.

Li Qingzhu suddenly jumped up and took three steps back. The expression on his dirty face suddenly changed, "You, it's you, you are the devil!"

Shen Xiuming's first reaction was to refute this ridiculous statement. As soon as he opened his mouth, he changed his mind, "Well... I don't know what the devil is."

"Demon King, you are the Demon King..." Li Qingzhu couldn't listen to other people's words at all, and lost control of his body. One moment he turned into black smoke, and the next he was in human form. "But you haven't awakened yet. It has been more than ten years, why is the Demon King still unwilling?" Awakening? Where have all the demons gone? Haven’t they escaped from the void and become free?”

Li Qingzhu flew into the air, his body half empty and half real, "Life and death follow each other, and the demon seeds are passed down forever. The great demon king is here, where are the seeds of all demons?"

Li Qingzhu's voice was full of madness, and the residents in the distance retreated in horror. Only the talisman masters remained at the front, including five reinforcements who arrived from nearby villages and towns. They were teleported through the talisman facilities that had been set up. With their foresight, the half-demon knew that he would be difficult to deal with, so they sent out more and further rescue messages. They did not want to take action until the necessary moment.

"Where is the seed of all demons?" Li Qingzhu asked again, and everything was quiet. "I am the only one who heard your summons. Demon King, please rest assured, I will definitely wake you up. There are not many humans here, but it is enough."

Shen Xiuming sensed the danger and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" But he was still a step too late. The smoke part of Li Qingzhu's body stretched out hundreds of thin smoke-like lines, reaching towards everyone at extremely fast speeds. , including Shen Xiuming.

The Talisman Masters can no longer sit back and watch while sacrificing Talisman. Some are responsible for strengthening protection, while others are responsible for attacking. Over the years, Long Bin has spent a lot of effort training the Talisman Masters' combat skills, making their cooperation very tacit.

Three arrows born out of thin air hit the half-demon accurately. The crowd just cheered when they realized something was wrong. The arrows slowly penetrated the half-demon's body, as if they were attracted, going deeper and deeper, and finally came from the other side. After getting out, he lost all his strength, flew about ten steps and disappeared.

At the same time, hundreds of smoke lines were easily piercing the talisman protection. Some people turned around and ran towards the town, only to run into invisible obstacles.

"Stupid humans, insignificant humans, give me your life and become a greater demon king. This is your honor and the meaning of your existence..."

The Talisman Masters kept sacrificing talismans, but for the half-demon, the spells of the low-level Talisman Masters were too weak. He didn't even bother to block them, and just let the spells penetrate into his body, sucking out the power in them. net.

The smoke line finally fell on the heads of hundreds of humans. The talisman masters loosened their hands and the paper talismans floated away in the wind. They were also ordinary people. Under the influence of the demon's spells, they lost control of themselves. They were filled with fear, suspicion, Cowardice, impatience and other emotions poured into everyone's hearts in an endless stream. The weak-willed ones were the first to kneel down, followed by others.

Shen Xiuming persisted for a longer time, but he also knelt down, with an urge to beg for mercy in his heart. He also wanted to blame everyone he knew. Why did Xin Youtao and Yang Qingyin miss this half-demon in the first place? Why don't you come and help now? Where is Mu Xingqiu? Where is he?

He fought hard to suppress these impulses, unwilling to give in too soon.

The wooden box in Shen Xiuming's arms fell to the ground. It took Li Qingzhu a while to find it in the air, and stopped reciting the demon spell, "What is this?"

The lid of the box opened automatically, and the pieces of paper inside lined up and flew up one after another. Some burned into ashes, and some rose higher and higher.

Shen Xiuming looked at these pieces of paper in surprise, and Li Qingzhu in the air was even more surprised, "Why can't I feel the existence of the spell?"

"Because it's not a spell," said a voice.

Li Qingzhu was startled again. He looked at the crowd in the distance. Most of the people had knelt down or even lay on the ground. They were either begging for life or crying bitterly. They were all firmly controlled by his spell. , but there were five exceptions, five children to be precise. They were so short that the half-demon didn't notice that they were the only ones still standing at first.

The voice came from a child.

"It finally came out. Mu Xingqiu really knows how to choose a place. This is his hometown, right? If you two have no objections, just give this guy to me."

The sound came from somewhere above the child's head.
