Chapter 45: Fake Monk, True Demon! (Seeking Readers)
"Wicked Demons!!!"
The remaining monks, witnessing this scene, instantly glared with fury.
But Qin Zheng didn't give them a chance to utter another word. The Ghost Head Saber sliced through the air, and its arrival was imminent!
In an instant, a dense aura of death suddenly erupted, causing the monks to snap back to their senses.
"Halt!!!"
Several monks wielded Vajra Maces, joining forces to block Qin Zheng's strike.
However, under Qin Zheng's peerless power, the monks couldn't withstand the force, and their Vajra Maces shattered into pieces, sending them flying backward.
The distance they were thrown was so great that they almost rolled out of the Caobang headquarters' main entrance!
"Cough, wicked demons! Wicked demons!!!"
They struggled to stand up.
Just this one strike had left them severely injured.
Yet, they still seemed unafraid, their faces contorted with anger as they cursed loudly.
Whoosh!!!
Suddenly, the sound of slicing wind echoed.
Looking up towards the headquarters, they saw a head and a mutilated corpse hurtling towards them, enveloped in a thick stench of blood and an unstoppable force.
Bang!!!
Ah!!!
The speed was so fast that they didn't have time to react.
Thus, they were struck by the head and the corpse, the impact sending them flying backward once more.
The head also shattered upon collision, scattering blood and gore on the ground.
This time, they lacked the strength to stand up again, lying on the ground, writhing and groaning in pain.
The sudden change attracted the attention of the surrounding commoners, who stopped to watch the spectacle.
After all, this was the Caobang headquarters, and very few dared to cause trouble here.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
At that moment, footsteps echoed.
A cold-faced youth, carrying the Ghost Head Saber on his shoulder, slowly emerged from the Caobang headquarters.
Qin Zheng gazed at the monks on the ground, writhing in pain, and said, "Do you still wish to send me to meet the Buddha?"
Hearing his chilling voice, the monks, despite their domineering nature, knew better than to speak.
Otherwise, they might very well have their heads chopped off!
They understood that they had hit a brick wall this time, and their arrogance faded.
Just then, several more monks rushed over.
Upon seeing the scene, their faces first showed shock, then turned to anger.
They glared at Qin Zheng and shouted, "You wicked demon! How dare you be so negligent and insult our monks! The Impermanence Saint Monk will not let you off!"
But despite their loud curses, they dared not take another step towards Qin Zheng.
When Qin Zheng turned to look at them, they flinched and retreated several steps.
Qin Zheng scoffed and turned back to the monks on the ground, writhing in agony, his eyes filled with cold light.
These monks, though dressed in white robes, behaved like thugs, more like bandits than monks!
They were far inferior to Venerable Chongming, not just by a little, but like heaven and earth.
"Let me see if you are rebellious disciples under the Buddha's seat or mere bandits hiding behind the facade of Buddhism."
Qin Zheng muttered, his gaze sweeping over the monks on the ground.
As his thoughts stirred, the virtue scroll in his sea of consciousness responded.
【Liu Min, Demi-Demon Follower, plagued by wicked demons. Killing him will earn 1.2 taels of merit!】
【Qu Yong, Demi-Demon Follower, plagued by wicked demons. Killing him will earn 1.8 taels of merit!】
【.】
Seeing the content on the virtue scroll, Qin Zheng was startled.
Demi-Demon followers?
He withdrew his gaze from the monks on the ground and turned to the group of monks standing at a distance, afraid to approach.
The distance was too far to activate the virtue scroll.
However, they were likely all the same kind of people!
And these people had followed the Impermanence Monk into Black Goose City.
In other words, that Impermanence Monk was a Demi-Demon?!
This world had demons, which Qin Zheng already knew about when he crossed over.
So Qin Zheng wasn't surprised by this.
But a Demi-Demon, disguised as a monk, entering a human city, what was its purpose? At this thought, Qin Zheng suddenly recalled Zhang Xiowen's words before his death.
Black Goose City's County Magistrate, Gao Wusheng, seemed to be secretly conducting some sort of transaction with the Impermanence Monk from the Temple of Rebirth.
What could humans and demons possibly trade?
Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but at that moment, his heart skipped a beat, giving him a bad premonition.
At this moment, Zhang Wei also came out from the headquarters and approached Qin Zheng from behind.
He saw the monks on the ground wailing and crying, and on the other side, a group of people staring hungrily, as if ready to devour them.
Zhang Wei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, hesitating for a moment before speaking, "Brother Qin, why don't we let them go?"
Qin Zheng turned to look at Zhang Wei, immediately noticing the hesitation in his eyes.
In that instant, Qin Zheng's heart raced, and a strong intuition emerged.
"Do you know where the people I sheltered in the southern city are?!"
Qin Zheng demanded an answer.
Zhang Wei's expression was conflicted, but he eventually sighed, nodding.
However, he didn't reveal who it was, instead looking at Qin Zheng and earnestly saying, "Brother Qin, don't pursue this, it will only bring trouble upon yourself!"
"With your martial arts talent, given time, you will surely soar to great heights. When that time comes, it won't be too late to turn back!"
But Qin Zheng turned to look at the monks on the ground, remaining silent for a few breaths before speaking, "It's these monks, or perhaps the Impermanence Monk from the Temple of Rebirth."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's eyebrows furrowed, and he continued, "The Impermanence Monk is a favored guest of the County Magistrate, and his background is equally formidable."
"Even if you confront him, it's likely you'll be unable to do anything, and you might even end up in trouble yourself."
"It's not worth it for a few beggars and widows!"
Qin Zheng chuckled lightly at this.
Not worth it?
A few beggars and widows, it's easy to say.
But they were all living, breathing people who had lived and eaten with him, people he had shared a life with!
Perhaps in the future, Qin Zheng would become cold and heartless, but not now.
The anger he had suppressed for so long seemed to erupt uncontrollably at this moment.
"What did he do with the people he took?"
Qin Zheng's voice was calm, like the calm before a storm.
Zhang Wei sighed, shaking his head. "I don't know."
Qin Zheng nodded.
A Demi-Demon taking people, what could they do? Nothing more than a meal.
He stepped towards the monks on the ground.
Then—
Bang!
A monk's head exploded like a watermelon under Qin Zheng's kick, the monk's head remained intact.
The scene shocked the surrounding civilians, who cried out in fear.
The monks on the ground, seeing this, began to cry and beg for mercy.
But Qin Zheng showed no hesitation, stepping towards each monk and delivering a crushing kick.
After a few breaths, only headless corpses and a pool of blood and gore remained.
After this, Qin Zheng turned to face the stunned monks.
Since it's like this, I'll take my interest in advance! Qin Zheng's eyes gleamed with cold determination.
