So it turns out I'm the demon!

Chapter 58 Cute Girls Are Easily Beaten

Jiang Mu felt a chill run down her spine.

This woman is absolutely insane.

He grabbed the other person's wrist and pushed them away again:

"Madam, I have important business to attend to right now. If you have nothing else to do, you may leave first and let Miss Chu come in to take care of things."

"Hehe, youth is indeed a good thing. Once you find someone fresher, you really start to look down on me, the old flame."

Mrs. Han's eyes reddened, and they welled up with tears.

"Fine, I've seen through you. You're a heartless man. Do whatever you want, I won't bother you, I'll just watch quietly from the side, is that alright?"

Jiang Mu wanted to insist, but he was afraid that if the woman was rejected, she would throw a tantrum and ruin the whole thing.

This age, when one is as fierce as a wolf or tiger, is the most troublesome.

Forget it, let's finish this deal quickly and get out of here. I'll stay as far away from you as possible in the future.

"Remember what I just said. Once Lan Rou'er's breathing stops, immediately apply the talisman, understand?"

Jiang Mu gave another serious reminder.

Madam Han nodded gently, her eyes still lingering with longing: "This servant understands~"

Seeing that she had calmed down for the time being, Jiang Mu did not delay any longer. He grasped Lan Rou'er's wrist and focused his mind to transfer a wisp of demonic energy into her.

In an instant, the world spun around!

The scene before my eyes spun and shattered like a kaleidoscope, then reformed.

I don't know how much time passed before my consciousness gradually returned.

The scene before me was no longer that of a side room.

Instead, it was a deep alleyway with towering gray walls on both sides.

The sky appeared to be a dark red.

There are no sun, moon, or stars.

Everything in sight—walls, roads, and the distant rooftops—was shimmering and blurred like ripples on water.

"Is this the Nightmare Realm?"

Jiang Mu placed one hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily as he slowly explored forward along the alleyway.

The further you go, the more distorted and bizarre the surrounding scenery becomes.

Some houses are even hanging upside down in the air.

As Jiang Mu rounded a sharp bend, her view suddenly opened up.

All that could be seen in the air ahead was...

Several tentacles formed from black mist wrapped around the girl's limbs, hanging her in a "T" shape, her breath faint.

It was Lan Rou'er.

harm.

This scene...

Jiang Mu shook her head, trying to recall some game scenes she had unintentionally seen before.

He leaped into the air, his blood-red blade transforming into a crimson arc of light as he slashed down.

scoff!

Several black mist tentacles snapped off instantly.

Lan Rou'er fell to the ground with a thud and started coughing.

The black mist on his body dissipated.

The young girl looked at the handsome man holding a long sword with a bewildered expression: "You are...?"

"I am a member of the Demon Slayer Division. Where is that Nightmare?"

Jiang Mu asked directly.

"Demon Slayer Division..."

Lan Rou'er blinked, a glint of light suddenly flashing in her eyes. She quickly grabbed Jiang Mu's trouser leg and cried out urgently, "Sir, hurry! Go save those children!"

"child?"

Jiang Mu was startled.

There's even a child trapped in this dream?

"Where?"

Lan Rou'er struggled to her feet, grabbing his sleeve: "I'll take you there, it's just ahead!"

Jiang Mu nodded and let the other person lead the way.

After several turns, the two stopped in front of a gloomy courtyard.

The wall was very high, and the plaster was badly peeling.

The roof tiles, which should have been neat and orderly, were torn and twisted by the rampant growth of weeds and vines, turning into a dark, gloomy mess.

The girl pointed inside, her finger trembling:

"I saw those children being captured by monsters and brought here. They kept crying out for help, sister. I wanted to save them, but... I... I was scared..."

The girl shed tears, her face filled with guilt and fear.

Jiang Mu patted her shoulder, signaling her to step back, and then stepped forward to push open the courtyard gate.

The sight behind the door made his pupils shrink.

A huge black fleshy ball was seen looming in the courtyard.

The surface of the fleshy ball was covered with twisted blood vessels and pustules, and countless tentacles of varying lengths extended from it, dancing in the air.

At the very top, there was a beautiful woman's head.

At that moment, she was squinting and enjoying something.

A fourth-tier demon... Jiang Mu felt slightly relieved.

"Um?"

Sensing the presence of a living being, the Nightmare Demon opened its eyes, a hint of surprise in its expression.

How could an outsider break into the nightmare?

When she saw Jiang Mu wearing the official robes of the Demon Slayer Division, the smug look on her face instantly froze, turning into shock and anger:

"A demon slayer?!"

"How...how did you get in?!"

"That's it."

Jiang Mu pushed off with his feet, his figure flashing like lightning to appear in front of his opponent, the blood-red blade thrusting straight in without any fancy moves.

"It was leaked!"

puff!

The black slime exploded.

Jiang Mu flicked the tip of his knife, severing the two waving tentacles beside him.

The nightmare let out a bloodcurdling scream.

The next moment, its body swelled up, its face contorted in a ferocious grimace: "Bastard! Die!"

Countless tentacles lashed out like whips.

Jiang Mu moved like a nimble snake, searching for gaps in the dense attacks, and in an instant, she cut off several more tentacles.

"This kid looks like he's only at the third realm, how come he's so powerful?!"

The nightmare monster was secretly alarmed and quickly opened its mouth, spewing out plumes of gray mist.

These gray mists formed phantoms.

While manipulating numerous conjured tentacles to fight Jiang Mu, its true form quietly retracted, secretly gathering its power.

At the same time, it exhaled a cloud of gray smoke towards the corner of the courtyard wall.

As the cloud of gray smoke landed, a constantly fluctuating gray vortex, about three feet in diameter, slowly formed.

Like an unfinished door.

Jiang Mu caught a glimpse of the vortex out of the corner of her eye and wondered, "What is that?"

Although I don't know what its purpose is, I instinctively feel that something is wrong.

With a thought, he threw a demonic anchor point in front of the vortex.

The battle continues.

The nightmare fought and retreated.

He kept using illusions to lure Jiang Mu away from the vortex.

During this time, Jiang Mu made several sharp advances, trying to find the hidden main body, but was always blocked by a large number of illusory tentacles, resulting in a stalemate.

Meanwhile, the gray vortex in the corner was spinning faster and faster.

The outline is becoming increasingly clear.

It eventually stabilized into an oval-shaped door.

"That's about it..."

Seeing that Jiang Mu was at least thirty feet away from the vortex gate, the nightmare monster secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You brat, I'm not playing with you anymore!"

As the air rippled, Nightmare finally revealed its true form, charging straight towards the vortex door, uttering a harsh threat.

"We'll meet again someday, I'll be back!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Mu, who was supposed to be thirty feet away, appeared out of thin air in front of the vortex gate like a ghost.

They just happened to block the way!

?

The nightmare left him bewildered.

"Since you'll be coming back, why not..."

"Just stay."

Jiang Mu drew his sword.

Swish!

The blood-red blade flashed, like the red sun breaking through the dawn.

"No--!"

The Nightmare Banshee was filled with terror; it was too late to hide her true form.

puff!

The long sword cleaved down from the nightmare's head.

Heading downwards.

The woman's head, along with her enormous body, was neatly split in two!

Clang!

Jiang Mu sheathed his sword.

A wisp of dark demonic energy entered his palm and flowed into his demonic reservoir along the birthmark on his arm.

As the nightmare monsters perished, the dream space began to turbulent.

Cracks appeared in the sky.

The walls crumbled like shattered mirrors, revealing endless void and chaos behind them.

Jiang Mu strode over to Lan Rou'er, who was huddled in the corner:

"The nightmare is dead, but this is your dream. You must wake up immediately, or the dream will collapse completely, and you will be trapped forever, and no one outside will be able to wake you up."

The girl's face was deathly pale, and she looked around at the collapsing scene, still in shock.

Hearing Jiang Mu's words, he looked completely bewildered.

"wake up?"

"I...I don't know how..."

Lan Rou'er said weakly.

"Won't?"

Jiang Mu sized her up.

This girl is delicate and frail, and she is indeed quite cute.

Such a cute girl, if she were punched, she would cry for a long time, right?

Of course, Jiang Mu did the same.

He swung his fist and punched the other person directly in the face!

"Get out of here!"
