Chapter 27 You Have the Ability to Get In Through Backdoors
The Demon Slayer Division has explicit rules that colleagues must not fight each other.
But Jiang Mu didn't care.
He usually behaves gently and is easy to talk to in the yamen, but that doesn't mean he will tolerate others taking advantage of him or bullying him at will.
What's mine is mine.
If you dare to steal it, I dare to make you spit it out.
"Boom!"
Just then, a foul stench suddenly gushed out of the well.
A huge black shadow was thrown out and slammed heavily to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a giant python, as thick as a water bucket, covered in dark scales.
The giant python's head was only connected to its body by a layer of skin and flesh.
It lay limply to one side, long since silent.
Immediately afterwards, a voluptuous and tall figure in black gracefully emerged from the ancient well.
It was none other than the Inspector Ling Ye.
Perhaps due to the dampness underground, the black fitted dress clung tightly to the woman's body, outlining her stunning curves and slender waist, adding a touch of hazy, alluring coldness.
Wang Ershang and his group also filed out.
They were all bruised and battered, but their expressions were excited.
Each person carried a snake demon corpse of varying sizes, with a blood-stained demon core clutched in their palm.
It was clearly a very fruitful harvest.
However, they were stunned when they saw what was outside the well.
The ground was littered with the corpses of snake demons.
There were also colleagues from the Demon Slayer Division lying haphazardly on the ground, groaning in pain.
"What happened?"
Wang Ershang, who was in charge of leading the team in the third hall, asked a question.
"Boss Wang!"
Zhang, the guy Jiang Mu kicked away first, was overjoyed to see his own people come out and pointed at Jiang Mu to complain:
"It was him! They wanted to take the corpse of the snake demon we killed. We refused, and he suddenly attacked and injured us all! Chief Wang, you must stand up for us!"
Wang Ershang and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Two people managed to defeat more than a dozen colleagues of the same rank?
Are you kidding me?
But seeing his colleagues groaning all over the ground, Wang Ershang's face darkened.
Regardless of the circumstances, it is indeed excessive to treat one's own people so harshly.
He turned and stared at Jiang Mu, his tone unfriendly:
"Master Jiang, aren't you going a bit too far?"
"Bullshit!"
Zhang Xiaokui angrily pointed at Brother Zhang and cursed.
"Have you no shame?! These snake demons were clearly killed by my master and me working together. It was you shameless bastards who came to steal our spoils, and now you dare to turn around and bite the hand that feeds you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone who came out of the well was stunned.
So many snake demon corpses.
Two people killed them all?
Even Zhang Daxiao was taken aback, but he knew his younger brother never lied, and was momentarily shocked.
Is my master really that powerful?
This was the first time Ling Ye had encountered such a situation.
She initially had a very bad impression of Jiang Mu, thinking he was just a playboy who relied on connections to make a living.
But looking at the murderous aura emanating from the other party, soaked in demonic blood, and then at the wounded lying on the ground, a hint of surprise and doubt flickered in her beautiful eyes.
She looked at Jiang Mu and asked coldly, "What exactly happened?"
Jiang Mu remained calm:
"We killed these monsters. But they didn't believe us and insisted on taking them. So I had no choice but to beat them all down. Now... they should believe us."
Everyone: "..."
Wang Ershang, being more experienced, grabbed Zhang Ge, who was still groaning on the ground, and asked, "Tell the truth, did you kill these monsters?"
Brother Zhang shuddered and stammered:
"We thought...we thought it was you, Boss Wang, who escaped after being severely injured underground, so we thought we could take advantage of the situation..."
He has now fully come to his senses.
So those two guys really did kill those monsters.
Wang Ershang then inquired about the other wounded.
These people dared not hide it and had no choice but to tell the truth honestly.
Now the truth becomes clear.
Wang Ershang and the others looked at Jiang Mu as if he were a monster.
Is this even human?
Ling Ye's beautiful eyes looked strange. In all her years of traveling around the country, this was the first time she had ever seen something so bizarre.
Driven by intense curiosity, she walked up to Jiang Mu, reached out and pinched his arm, then checked his pulse.
The woman thought to herself:
"Strange... He only recently broke through to the second realm, how can he be so powerful?"
She suddenly took a few steps back and said to Jiang Mu:
"Draw your sword and cut me."
Jiang Mu was taken aback: "This...isn't that inappropriate?"
Ling Ye's tone remained as cold as ever:
"Don't worry, I just want to test your mettle. You can't hurt me in the slightest."
"I'll stand still and let you do as you please."
Jiang Mu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I apologize."
"Clang!"
The sword was drawn, its cold light exploding.
Without any fancy build-up, the "flow interruption" strike came straight down.
The thin curtain of rain was cleaved open with a single stroke.
A visible white wave of blades surged up, like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, heading straight for Ling Ye's face.
A strand of wet hair at the woman's temple was whipped backward by the force of the energy.
The form-fitting black dress clung tightly to her skin, instantly revealing her curves.
Where the fabric of the front of the garment clings tightly, it resembles a raging mountain range or a fully drawn bowstring about to snap, exuding an astonishing tension that seems about to tear the garment apart.
Her waist was extremely slender, like a willow swaying in the wind.
"what?"
Ling Ye's cold eyes narrowed slightly.
Driven by instinct, she subconsciously swerved to the side.
boom!!
The blade grazed her shoulder as it fell.
The ground exploded with a roar, splashing mud and water several feet high, forming a trench several feet long with smooth, razor-sharp edges.
Wang Ershang and the others all changed their expressions.
Now they were completely convinced that Jiang Mu had killed those snake demons.
"sharp."
Ling Ye glanced at the deep ditch at her feet, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and stared at Jiang Mu, saying...
"No wonder Ran Qingshan made you the head of this hall. I take back what I said before. You do have the ability to get in through connections."
Zhang Xiaokui said:
"Your Excellency, didn't you say you would stand still?"
Ling Ye: (→_→)
Jiang Mu coughed lightly, then pointed to the giant snake demon beside him and asked, "My lord, where is this demon's core?"
Ling Ye frowned slightly: "What, you want it?"
Jiang Mu quickly shook her head:
"I wouldn't dare. It's just that I've never seen a sixth-tier demon's core before, and I'm curious. I wonder... if I could broaden my horizons and even touch it?"
"This is not a sixth-tier great demon."
Ling Ye shook her head. "This is a fifth-tier snake demon. We don't know where the sixth-tier snake demon went; we came up empty-handed this time."
Fifth order?
Jiang Mu was taken aback, inexplicably thinking of the terrifying demon from earlier.
Could it be it?
No, that's not a snake demon.
Otherwise, seeing so many of his snake offspring killed, he would have skinned him alive and pulled out his tendons long ago.
The woman flipped her wrist.
A demon core, the size of a fist and resembling a luminous pearl, appeared in his palm.
"Take it and look at it."
She tossed the demon core to Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu quickly took it.
next moment.
A surge of dark demonic energy, as powerful as a river bursting its banks, detached from the demon core and transformed into a torrent that rushed wildly into the birthmark on his arm.
Within his sea of consciousness, the enormous groove of the character "魔" (demon) trembled.
The dark red demonic blood surged wildly, breaking through the previous bloodline and surging upwards towards the groove.
涨！
So high!
I'm about to burst from overeating.
Sure enough, the more powerful the demon, the more vast and boundless its demonic energy.
Jiang Mu was overjoyed, but she tried her best to suppress the upward curve of her lips.
Just now.
A gigantic serpentine demonic shadow suddenly materialized beside the demonic trough.
As soon as it took shape, it opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the small snake demon shadow whole.
"It can even devour its own kind to evolve?"
Jiang Mu was startled.
