Chapter 29 Rules are nothing but constraints for mediocre people. To break the cage, just punch!

[Wutong Prefecture Demon Hunting Division, Affairs Hall.]

[Looking at the girl with bright eyes, white teeth, lively eyes, and slightly older than you, she is greeting you. You look at her face and feel inexplicably familiar.]

[But you are indifferent to many people and many things. After such a long time, you have long forgotten this clean and clear-looking girl. ]

[Ruan Xiuxiu saw the hesitation in your eyes, and her smiling face suddenly fell, a little depressed: "Junior brother, you forgot about me so quickly?"]

[The familiar tone and face, combined together, suddenly reminded you of the girl you once met in front of Guanjian Forest on Yunluan Mountain.]

[Ruan Xiuxiu, the disciple of Elder Guan Jian, is said to be the future heir of the Yunluan Mountain's treasured sword.]

[In Yunluan Mountain, she is one of the few people who have had good intentions towards me. Although we have not had much interaction, she is a fellow comrade of the Demon Hunting Division after all, so I have to at least put in some superficial efforts.]

[So you nodded and said hello. Seeing that you responded, the girl smiled, her eyes became a pair of crescents, and she looked like she had no burden at all.]

[It was as if he didn't regard the so-called 'demon slaying' as a life-or-death gamble, but just a trip out of the mountains to enjoy the scenery.]

[You two uncovered the "Demon Hunting Order" and learned the basic information of the Lancang River, then set off under Xiang Zhulu's instructions.]

[I heard that Gu Hongjian, who has the same dragon blood as you, is only one step away from the second step of 'Great Innateness'. He devours human bodies just to consume their 'humanity'. ]

[The Qi collected through the Zhou Tian is the Qi of all things. The Qi for generating spirits, nourishing sword Qi, and the Qi of righteousness can all be used as a medium to step into the 'Great Innate'. ]

[Before reaching the second stage of 'Great Innateness', demons like to collect the life energy of people and the incense they offer, because this way they can completely shed their demonic characteristics and hide among the crowd.]

[If Gu Hongjian achieves the Great Innate, not only will the two of them be unable to defeat him together, but it will also be as difficult as ascending to heaven to capture him again.]

[As a warrior, it is common to travel a hundred miles a day. You and Ruan Xiuxiu have traveled six hundred miles in five days and have arrived at the bank of the mighty and endlessly flowing Lancang River.]

[On the river, the waves are surging, and fishermen standing on black sails and sampans can be seen from time to time. Seeing this scene, you have some doubts in your heart. With a dragon causing trouble, why would anyone dare to fish in the river? ]

[When you and Ruan Xiuxiu arrived at the riverside fishing village that was recorded in the files of the Demon Hunting Bureau as having been massacred, you were shocked to find that every household here was inhabited, completely different from the desolate place you imagined.]

[Hearing the noise at the entrance of the village, a fisherman in his 40s or 50s, wearing a coarse black robe and looking quite thin, came out of the village with a harpoon and a few other people.]

[He noticed at a glance that the clothes you and Ruan Xiuxiu were wearing were of extraordinary quality.]

[“Where are you two distinguished guests from? I am the village chief of the fishermen here.” The fisherman’s eyes gleamed, hiding the greed in them very well, and he spoke politely in a low voice.]

[In response, you glanced at him coldly, realizing that something was wrong. ]

[But Ruan Xiuxiu on the side held a sword in her hand, imitated her senior sister, raised her eyebrows, raised her neck slightly, and proudly raised the "Demon Hunting Order" on her waist. ]

[“The Bronze Patrolman of the Demon Hunting Division of Wutong Prefecture heard that the Jiao demons were causing trouble here, so I came here to slay them!”]

[“If you are held hostage by the Jiaomo Demon and have plundered this place, just tell us the truth. We will definitely take off your heads and kill you all!”]

[Her eyes were filled with a brightness that showed innocence. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, but there was not even a single light in the village.]

[When dusk fell on Ruan Xiuxiu's shoulders, she thought that what she would be greeted with was a vision and that she would be worshipped like a god, but.]

As the sun sets, the village by the river.

Rustling.

As Ruan Xiuxiu finished her words, there were bursts of noise.

Immediately after
Dozens of people stood outside the village, staring at the two men intently. Almost everyone of them was holding knives and iron tools in their hands, and they formed a circle around the two men from the Demon Hunting Bureau.

"There are no Jiao demons here, my lords from the Demon Hunting Division."

"But you are right about one thing. This place was indeed deserted a month ago. We only moved here recently."

"This place is close to the Lancang River and has good terrain. Whenever we cast our nets for fishing, we can catch a lot of fish."

"For fishermen like us who live by the water, if we want to buy a house in the city and have our hometown recorded, we have to live in places like this to have hope."

"You two, please stop causing trouble for us poor people."

The fisherman village chief spoke in a stiff tone, holding a transparent stone in his hand. Even though he knew that he was facing two first-step warriors, he was not too afraid.

Ruan Xiuxiu was confused.

This was completely different from what she had imagined.

Looking at the stone in the fisherman's hand, Song Chaixin smiled faintly:
"Image stone?"

"Who gave it to you?"

"That dragon demon?"

The fisherman village chief's expression changed.

Song Chaixin just sniffed with the tip of his nose. As a species of dragon, he was very sensitive to the smell of blood.

Even though the village in front of him was deliberately concealing itself, he could still smell the faint smell of blood wafting from every person.

This person present
There is almost no one who has never seen blood.

"The Demon Hunting Department has a standard secret treasure that can monitor the whereabouts of demons that reveal demonic energy within its jurisdiction. That's how the dragon's true identity was exposed."

"At the same time, because all the houses in the riverside village were empty, the Demon Hunting Bureau naturally thought that these lives were eaten by the dragon demon himself."

"But it's not true,"

"You used the power of the Jiao demon to slaughter everyone in this village, and then offered it to him, right?"

"When a dragon turns over, the rivers shake."

“You offered him your faith and your lives as sacrifices.”

"And he will give you countless rare catches, so that each of you can get a handsome reward. From now on, you can live a stable life for the rest of your life."

Song Chai Xin was wearing a black cloak. In the cold winter, his cold tone and his stern expression made these people change color instantly, and even raised their knives:
"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Some people flatly denied it.

But some people rely on the fact that the fisherman village chief has a stone that can imprint their images.

He then stirred up everyone's hearts and approached the two of them:

"The Demon Hunting Division slays demons and exterminates evil spirits, and at the same time, the rules of these adults are extremely strict."

"Normally, we are worthless. If we are caught and killed, it would be fine. But now we hold the Image Stone, and there is that person behind us. How could he dare to kill us all?" "If the Image Stone is leaked to even one person, if he kills us, he will be ruining his reputation, career, and future right here!"

"We were all begging for our lives by the river. Why did he put the blame on us for something he clearly didn't do?"

"That's right. Today, even if it means risking my life, I will still seek justice. If he dares to take action, he will be destroying his own future!"

"Drive these two away!"

Wow!
In an instant, dozens of people rushed towards Ruan Xiuxiu and Song Chaixin!

Ruan Xiuxiu was not too panicked.

But at this moment, cold sweat had already seeped out of her fair forehead. She looked at the harpoon getting closer and closer, and she could even smell the blood on it.
When I was out on the mountain for training,
Ruan Xiuxiu had thought that she would encounter demons on this trip and that she would fight them to the death to defend the orthodoxy of humanity, even at the cost of her life.

But she never expected that what is more terrifying than demons is the human heart.

With so much deception and scheming, she didn't even know why humans could collude with demons!

but.
Ruan Xiuxiu forgot,

Even though Da Zhao has established its kingdom, ninety-nine percent of those sitting in the temple are still demons.

Even the government and the Demon Hunting Bureau can’t eliminate all the demons in the world!

Protecting one and a half acres of land is already the limit.

If, if these words are all true and not Song Chaixin's groundless guesses, then what is the difference between these people and demons in human skin?
But then again, what if these speculations are not true and everything is just based on clues and wild imagination?

If they take action, wouldn’t that be treating human lives as worthless?
Although as a warrior, she was used to seeing people’s lives being taken lightly, but as a member of the Demon Hunting Division and a disciple of Yunluan Mountain, if her actions were recorded, it would be a disaster.
In the reflection of dusk, he looked at the crystal clear photo stone and the harpoon that almost stabbed him.

Ruan Xiuxiu’s first reaction was

He actually retreated instead of drawing his sword to intimidate these desperate criminals.

She took a step back, her hair on her temples blown by the wind, revealing a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

This hint of retreat was seen by the fishermen who were originally a little afraid and hesitant.

The fear in their eyes immediately disappeared.

Then, look at this beautiful figure who is like a bright pearl in the moonlight.

Some people even had a glimpse of greed in their eyes, and with a cry of "Ah", they wanted to raise their harpoons and grab the enemy!

However.
Just as Ruan Xiuxiu was retreating again and again and was surrounded, her brows were tightly furrowed, wondering whether she should "escape in a panic".

Bang, bang, bang! !

There was a series of sounds of punches hitting flesh, one after another.

“Sometimes, the more you are bound by rules, the more difficult it will be for you to move forward.”

"Even if you subconsciously feel that they might be wrong, you don't have absolute evidence, so you are cautious."

woohoo~~
The cold sea breeze came down with the dusk, making Song Chaixin's hair dance wildly.

As the fishermen rioted, he stood there like a clay sculpture for a long time, and finally spoke slowly in a low voice.
One step, one punch.

After taking a few steps, the tip of his fist was already stained with blood.

"Being in this situation is like being stuck in a quagmire. It will only make the 'weaklings' who have the upper hand more reckless."

"But why do you hesitate, hesitate?"

"Is it just because of the rules in your heart that are restraining you?"

"But you just need to know that you are right."

"As long as it's right, just throw the punch."

"Even if I am criticized by thousands of people, what can I do?"

Ruan Xiuxiu stared blankly at the sleeve of Song Chaixin's cloak, which had changed from being spotless to being covered in blood.

then
The young man's steps were steady and his punches fell like rain, as if he was standing on the other side of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Just a few breaths!

The only person standing in the field was the fisherman village chief holding the photo stone.

"Are you threatening a practitioner, betting that he will care about his future?"

"If it was someone else, it might be hard to say."

"but"

"I've been walking on thin ice all my life. Do you think you can gamble your life with me just by relying on a reptile behind you?"

"You deserve it too."

"What I just said was just some guesses, but your actions have proved that you are just the demon's lackeys, not country fishermen."

"I practice boxing to transcend the cage and be free from restraints."

"You bet on my mercy?"

"You might as well kneel down and beg me!"

As the photo stone finished recording, the flashing fluorescent light suddenly flew away. The fisherman was already trembling with fear and was completely stunned.

Is this person in front of me the patrol officer of the Demon Hunting Division who slays demons and exterminates monsters?
Or a living demon?
until----

One of them is similar to Song Chaixin, but with dragon horns on his head, a tail under his clothes, and a thin layer of scales on his face. He is a young man with an evil smile.

Slowly holding the flying stone, he walked out of the Lancang River behind the riverside village step by step.
This farce finally entered the main show.

"Guyue."

"It's been a while since we last met,"

"You really made me look at you with new eyes."
