Chapter 81: Love Between Human and Demon? I'll Cut it Down!
Chapter 81: Love Between Human and Demon? I'll Cut it Down!
The daughter of the Magistrate, actually carrying the child of a demon!
This was truly absurd!
A chilling light flickered in Qin Zheng's eyes.
"Don't hurt Qing'er!"
Sensing the cold intent emanating from Qin Zheng, the handsome man roared anxiously, his face contorting as demonic energy surged within him, ready to transform into his demon form.
Qin Zheng turned his head, and with a horizontal slash, he struck the man on the back of his head with the flat of his blade.
The man instantly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
"Jin Lang!!!"
At the sight of this, the woman cried out in shock, ignoring the pain in her abdomen, and staggered towards the man.
Her pale face showed panic, and she reached out to pull the man into her embrace, calling out to him repeatedly.
"What are you doing, you reckless fool?!?"
"We truly love each other! Why can't you let us be happy?!"
"Give me back my Jin Lang!!!"
Seeing that the man showed no signs of movement, the woman's heart raced with anxiety. She looked up at Qin Zheng and began to scream.
Qin Zheng's gaze turned cold. From the reactions of Xu Chief of Capture and the Magistrate, it was clear that they knew this man was a demon!
The head of a prestigious household, actually sheltering his daughter's relationship with a demon, and even allowing her to conceive a demi-human child! If it weren't for the consecutive rat infestations in Kaifeng Mansion that had alarmed the Demon Slayer, perhaps no one would have known about this until now.
Zhang Qing'er was already crying, her tears flowing like a stream. Facing Qin Zheng's cold gaze, she shouted, "So what if he ate a few people?!?"
"There are so many people in this world, what's the harm in eating a few? Moreover, you Demon Slayers have been slaying and consuming demons all along!"
"What's wrong with humans eating demons, or demons eating humans?!"
"We truly love each other, even if we are separated by our human and demon nature, nothing can stop the love between us!!!"
Qin Zheng nodded, not saying another word. He raised his hand and brought the blade down, severing the body of the rat demon on the ground.
There's no issue with your love, but there's also no issue with me slaying and consuming this human-demon creature!
Boom!!
Just then, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook.
A thick demonic energy emerged from beneath the earth!
Bang!
A thick, arm-sized, iron-hard tail suddenly pierced through the ground, aiming at Qin Zheng like a spear.
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly changed the direction of his blade, slicing towards the attacking tail.
The blade collided with the tail, emitting a crisp sound of metal clashing.
The ground suddenly bulged, as if a massive creature was about to emerge from beneath it. Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed, and he instantly leaped away.
A giant mouse, as big as an ox, burst out from the ground.
The tail that had just struck at Qin Zheng belonged to this mouse demon!
There were actually two mouse demons hiding in Kaifeng Mansion!
"Ah!!!"
At the sight of this robust mouse demon, Zhang Qing'er, the Magistrate's daughter, screamed in shock.
Although she knew her husband was a demon and had a brother who was also a demon, she had never seen them transform into their demon forms.
Seeing such a huge rat appear before her, she almost fainted on the spot.
The mouse demon's eyes flashed with greed when it looked at her, but it quickly suppressed the urge. It turned to Qin Zheng, who had jumped to the side, and said coldly, "If you kill my brother, I won't let you off easily from Cangfeng Mountain!"
Chirp, chirp, chirp~
At the same time, the sound of rats could be heard from all directions.
Soon after, a group of gigantic rats emerged like a tide from various places, rushing towards Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng let out a cold laugh, tightening his grip on the Ghost Head Saber. He extended his spiritual perception to cover a fifty-meter radius around him.
"It's interesting that a demon dares to threaten us Demon Slayers.
"Let's see, after killing these two mouse demons, what can your Cangfeng Mountain do to me?!"
Hum!
A thick and powerful force surged within him, like a mighty river.
Qin Zheng's eyes flashed, and in an instant, he charged forward like a phantom!
In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the mouse demon, and with a swift motion, he swung the Ghost Head Saber like a crescent moon, slicing upwards with tremendous force!
To the mouse demon, Qin Zheng's strike seemed to carry infinite divine might, like the roar of a divine beast, engulfing it from all directions!
The Four Symbols and Six Directions, this was the true intention!
The mouse demon's heart was filled with intense fear. This was no ordinary Demon Slayer!
He was a terrifying existence, no weaker than any brigadier!
Swish!
The mouse demon frantically waved its tail, tempered to the hardness of steel, striking at the incoming saber with phantom-like speed.
But this time, Qin Zheng showed no mercy. As soon as its tail touched the Ghost Head Saber, it was sliced off, twitching as it fell to the ground.
Before the mouse demon could even scream in pain, the sharp saber had already slashed through the air and landed on its head!
How could this be?!
Its beady eyes were filled with disbelief and terror.
The previous clash hadn't felt like such a huge gap, but now it was like a world of difference!
A thick sense of impending death exploded within its heart along with the flash of the blade.
Swish!!
The cold blade glinted.
This muscular rat demon, almost without any resistance, was beheaded by Qin Zheng with a single strike, a brutal kill!
Bang!
The rat demon's body, devoid of strength, suddenly collapsed to the ground, and a foul-smelling blood gushed from the severed neck, flowing endlessly.
Qin Zheng then shifted his gaze, looking around.
The large rats, upon witnessing the death of the rat demon, seemed to freeze, standing motionless in their tracks.
At this moment, he confirmed that these creatures were not yet considered demons, merely ordinary rats with the potential to transform into demons. A Martial Artist in the Meat Refinement Realm could easily handle them.
So he withdrew his gaze and looked at the magistrate's daughter, Zhang Qing'er, who stood there as if stunned, her eyes wide and unmoving.
At this moment, the rat demon in her arms still showed no signs of waking up.
Qin Zheng's strike, though not delivered with much force, was still decisive. This rat demon might not wake up again.
With a swift stride, he reached Zhang Qing'er's side in an instant.
At that moment, Zhang Qing'er seemed to finally regain her senses. She looked at Qin Zheng, no longer screaming and shouting like before.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.
"Get up and move aside," Qin Zheng said coldly.
Zhang Qing'er's eyes were filled with hesitation.
She first looked at the handsome face of the man in her arms, then raised her head to look at the corpse of the rat demon that Qin Zheng had slain nearby. Her pupils constricted slightly, and her expression immediately turned fearful.
In the end, she put the man down and endured the pain in her abdomen, standing up.
Swish! Qin Zheng casually swung his blade, and the man's head was instantly separated from his body, revealing his true demonic form.
It was also a large, muscular rat.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Qing'er's expression changed slightly, as if realizing something, and she immediately bent over and began to vomit.
Qin Zheng paid her no mind and turned to look at the mutated rats. With a swift movement, he displayed his lightfoot techniques, rushing out like a phantom.
At the same time, the blade's light rained down like a sudden shower.
This place was on the outskirts of Kaifeng Prefecture, so there were few people around, and since it was night, no one noticed the commotion.
Otherwise, with so many rats, ordinary people would likely faint at the sight.
At this moment, Situ Qing and the others also rushed over.
After seeing the scene before them, their pupils constricted.
They had never seen rats so large!
Sensing the strong demonic aura emanating from the two rat corpses, they also understood that these two rat demons were likely the culprits behind Kaifeng Prefecture's rat infestation.
Then, they noticed the woman standing nearby, covering her stomach and dry heaving. They exchanged glances, guessing something.
Zou Xi and Liu Yi, the two women, stepped forward and went to Zhang Qing'er's side, supporting her.
Situ Qing, Wu Meng, and Xin Yi drew their blades and followed, slaying the mutated rats that emerged from all sides.
After a while, the rats were all killed, and Qin Zheng was the first to sheathe his blade and return.
Looking at Zhang Qing'er, who was still covering her stomach, her face pale and filled with pain, Zou Xi and Liu Yi, the two women beside her, were at a loss, unsure of what to do.
"The half-demon fetus inside her is stirring, feeling the absence of its father," Qin Zheng said, narrowing his eyes slightly.
With his psychic energy, he could naturally sense things that others couldn't.
Hearing this, Zhang Qing'er looked at him in pain and pleaded, "Help me! My stomach hurts so much! Please help me!"
Qin Zheng withdrew his gaze and ignored her.
The fetus in her womb, though half-demon, wouldn't harm Zhang Qing'er, as it still needed her body to nurture it.
This bit of pain was a lesson for this ungrateful woman.
He turned to look at the two demon corpses, and at the same time, he sank a thread of his spiritual awareness into his sea of consciousness," and looked at the two lines of writing on the virtue scroll.
【Rat Yan, born with a violent nature, burdened with sins, kill it, and you shall gain three pounds and three ounces of merit.】
【Rat Jin, fond of eating human flesh, burdened with sins, kill it, and you shall gain two pounds and four ounces of merit.】
By killing these two rat demons, he gained five pounds and seven ounces, or fifty-seven ounces of merit.
These demons were indeed a sure source of merit, and the harvest was quite substantial!
Such thoughts circulated in Qin Zheng's mind.
At this moment, Situ Qing and the others also sheathed their blades and returned, standing before Qin Zheng.
"Where is the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture?" Qin Zheng asked.
"He came out and found us on his own, saying he had no other choice and begged us to come and help his daughter," Situ Qing replied.
Hearing this, Zhang Qing'er's eyes turned red, and tears began to fall in large drops.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go! We're leaving!"
"A magistrate, actually tolerating and even protecting his daughter's relationship and offspring with a rat demon, there must be something amiss here!"
