So it turns out I'm the demon!

Chapter 64 Under the same circumstances, I am invincible!

Using the address he forced out of the gray-robed man, Jiang Mu quickly found the small courtyard.

The courtyard has gray walls and blue tiles, and looks ordinary from the outside.

To avoid alerting the enemy, he went around to the east side of the courtyard wall, placed the teleportation anchor directly into the courtyard, and entered through the wall.

The courtyard was deserted, with only the faint rustling of the wind through the withered grass.

Jiang Mu held her breath and listened intently.

Soon, he caught a faint rustling sound coming from the west wing.

Upon reaching the door, they discovered that the entire room, from the walls to the doors and windows, was enveloped in a white halo.

Jiang Mu pressed it tentatively, but it didn't budge.

They tried throwing the demonic shadow in again, but it bounced back.

"A sealing formation?"

Jiang Mu frowned slightly.

After a moment's thought, his eyes flashed, and he summoned the magic gauge.

His gaze fell on the fox demon's shadow.

This was obtained after he killed the fox demon from the Shen family; it grants him the ability to mimic other people's voices.

"Hopefully I can get away with this."

Jiang Mu raised her hand and knocked heavily on the door.

"Who?"

A wary male voice immediately came from inside the room.

Jiang Mu's fingertips touched the fox demon's shadow, his throat bobbing slightly, the sound he made exactly the same as the gray-robed man's:

"it's me."

Fortunately, the people inside didn't suspect anything, and instead grumbled, "Ah Xiao, why the hell are you only arriving now?"

hum-

With a ripple, the white light surrounding the doors and windows dissipated like the receding tide.

Jiang Mu pushed open the door and entered.

The room was dimly lit, with all the windows covered by thick black cloth. Only a beam of light shone in from the doorway, casting his long shadow on the ground.

There were also faint cries of children.

"Bring it here quickly!"

From the depths of darkness, the male voice urged, "The lady is getting impatient!"

Jiang Mu squinted to adjust to the darkness and vaguely saw a dark shadow moving around.

He carried the knife and walked over step by step.

"Where are the children?"

The man sensed something was wrong and turned to look.

Using the light from the doorway, he recognized the newcomer as not being his gray-robed companion and exclaimed in surprise, "Who are you?!"

"The one who will send you to meet the King of Hell."

Bang!

The person had no time to react; their body flew backward, smashing through the shelf by the window.

"Splash!"

The black cloth covering the window was torn off.

The blinding sunlight instantly filled the room, illuminating everything.

A six or seven-year-old boy was lying on the ground, his limbs bound by ropes, his eyes covered with a black cloth, and his mouth stuffed with hemp seeds.

A sharp boning knife lay nearby.

"Thankfully, I'm not too late."

Jiang Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked up to the man huddled against the wall, screaming in pain, and stomped on the man's head, his voice chilling:

Where is your wife?

The man was terrified and his gaze involuntarily drifted to the wall beside him.

Jiang Mu understood.

Sure enough, these rats all like to dig holes.

"puff!"

With a powerful stomp, the man's head shattered like a rotten watermelon.

Jiang Mu didn't linger at all, using the demonic shadow to pass through the wall, while carefully leaving the demonic shadow's anchor point behind the wall.

……

The candlelight flickered in the sealed room.

The walls were covered with talismans made of yellow paper and cinnabar, giving off a sinister and evil aura.

A woman wearing a wide black robe was holding a bowl of dark red medicine, tilting her head back and drinking it all in one gulp.

As the hood slipped down, her true face was revealed.

A face that is half beautiful and half terrifying.

His right cheek was smooth and delicate, but his left cheek and even his neck were covered with pustules.

Beside them, a maid with a scar on her face was sharpening a dagger as thin as a willow leaf on a whetstone.

The blade rubbed against the stone, making a soft "snap-snap" sound.

It was especially clear in the quiet, enclosed room.

In the corner, two young sisters huddled together, shivering and making suppressed sobs.

Madam Liu put down the empty bowl and comfortably closed her eyes.

She looked at the two sisters, her voice gentle:

"Don't be afraid, my little darlings. More medicinal ingredients will be delivered later, and you'll have company on the way, so you won't be lonely."

The older sister protected her younger sister, pleading tearfully:

"Auntie...Auntie...Please, please let us go, I want to go home..."

Madam Liu walked over, gently stroking the girl's dry, yellow hair, her tone still gentle:

"Silly child, what are you going home for?"

You poor people are born with a lowly life, never having enough to eat or wear, and living is just suffering.

How about... you lend your little bodies to your aunt for a while?

What you're doing is called accumulating good karma.

Maybe I'll be reborn into a better family in my next life.

The younger sister didn't understand these fallacies; she was just terrified by that scary face and burst into tears.

Madam Liu, somewhat annoyed, said, "Stop crying."

Seeing her sister still crying, the woman's gentle expression vanished, replaced by rage and ferocity.

"I told you to stop crying!!"

She grabbed the little girl's hair and slammed her head against the wall twice.

"Bang! Bang!"

The little girl had a cut on her forehead that was bleeding.

"Stop crying! Do you think I wanted this?"

Madam Liu screamed hysterically, "Why can that bitch have a child, but I can't?"

"Once I have a son, once I become your legal wife, I'll give your poor parents a few extra taels of silver so they'll have food to eat for the rest of their lives. That will be considered the greatest filial piety! Do you understand?!"

Just then, the scarred maid who was sharpening her knife suddenly looked up.

"Who?!"

A deep voice echoed from the darkness: "It's me, Ah Xiao."

"Ah Xiao..."

The maid's wariness lessened slightly, and she complained, "Why are you dawdling like this...?"

Before she finished speaking, her gaze inadvertently swept across the ground.

The torches flickered.

The shadow of the future person is cast on the ground.

The shadow was tall and straight, unlike the gray-robed man A Xiao's signature hunchback.

"You're not Ah Xiao!"

The maid immediately held a blade in front of her to protect Madam Liu.

Jiang Mu was somewhat surprised by the woman's keenness, so he simply stopped pretending and slowly walked out of the darkness, knife in hand.

"A demon slayer?!"

When Madam Liu saw the clothes, her face turned deathly pale.

The maid's expression also changed.

But when his gaze swept behind Jiang Mu, he found no one there, and his expression turned strange:

"Are you alone?"

Jiang Mu ignored her and looked at the woman with pustules covering half her face:

"You must be that slutty Madam Liu, right?"

Madam Liu trembled all over.

"Don't panic, Madam."

The scarred maid whispered,

"He's just a third-realm demon slayer, his cultivation is about the same as mine. You should leave through the secret passage at the back and go straight back to the general's mansion. Once you're inside, no one will dare to touch you."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu calmed down slightly and nodded: "Alright, be careful."

After saying that, she turned and slipped into a hidden door at the back.

The maid rushed towards Jiang Mu, her willow-leaf dagger flashing in an arc as she aimed straight for Jiang Mu's throat, coldly sneering:

"You dare to barge in here alone and die? You're asking for trouble!"

Jiang Mu's expression was indifferent.

He pressed his hand on the knife handle, without making any extra movements.

Draw the knife!

Sky-Shattering Slash!

To deal with a fourth-level expert, it might take several more rounds of fighting.

But what if he faces an opponent who is also at the third realm?

Sorry, I'm invincible.

The blood-red blade light erupted like a volcano.

As she drew her sword, Jiang Mu kicked a piece of cloth at her feet, covering the two girls' heads and obscuring their vision.

To prevent them from seeing the bloody scene.

Sensing the terrifying blade intent rushing towards her, the maid's forward-rushing figure suddenly froze.

"How can he be so strong?!"

Her eyes were filled with horror.

In an instant, the instinct for survival overwhelmed everything.

In a panic, she turned and lunged toward the secret door through which Madam Liu had fled.

"puff--"

The protective aura was easily torn apart like paper.

The sharp blade gleamed from bottom to top.

From the groin to the spine...

It was neatly cut in half!
