Chapter 17

Lu Ren leaned against the mud wall made of loess and slowly stuck his head out to look inside.

A chirping sound was heard.

A huge pit appeared out of nowhere in the yard.

A large group of dark shadows carried food, fruits and vegetables into the hole in an orderly manner.

These voles were dark all over, with only a pair of eyes emitting a faint green light in the dark, which looked a bit creepy.

Unlike ordinary voles, these guys are particularly large.

The leader among them was more than two feet long and was estimated to weigh thirty or forty kilograms.

Not long after, all the food was moved away.

Lu Ren was about to rush in and kill all the voles in this nest, but he felt a chill on his neck.

"I can't figure it out."

The other party's voice was full of deep doubt and sounded familiar.

Lu Ren was held by the neck and couldn't turn around.

With the cold moonlight, he could vaguely see the face of the person through the reflection of the blade.

Wu Xin!

As a constable in Yangliu Town, he didn't kill the monster, but pointed the steel knife in his hand at his colleague.

"Why?" Lu Ren asked calmly.

Wu Xin stretched his neck and sneered,"I should be the one asking you this question. Can't you just be a local bully and continue to bully others in Yangliu Town? Why do you want to get involved in this mess?"

"So, you knew the reason for the strange things happening in Black Earth Village, but you concealed it and even......."His tone was full of contempt and ridicule:"You still want to kill me to silence me?" After a moment of silence, Wu Xin said:"I don't want to kill anyone, but if you are alive, it will ruin my good deeds."

"Are you having an affair with a demon?"

""Haha, aren't you the same?" Wu Xin snorted coldly:"Besides, you and I are different. I will never sell my body and soul, and you are just a puppet of the rabbit spirit."

Lu Ren heard a clue from his words.

It seems that there is some unknown deal between Wu Xin and the vole spirit.

He needs to gain benefits, and the price is to help the vole spirit cover up the news and eliminate all those who may pose a threat to them.

For example, Lu Ren!

Feeling the blade on his neck cutting his skin, Lu Ren said with a smile:"I am indeed different from you, at least...I will not easily raise my butcher knife against my own kind."

At this moment, all the field mice in the yard have jumped into their holes and started to evacuate.

Only the leading field mouse was left. It stood up and looked at the two people outside the yard.

A trace of ruthless murderous intent flashed across its dark green eyes.

""Chiji!"

This sharp cry seemed to be a command it conveyed to Wu Xin.

Wu Xin nodded slightly, then suddenly pressed his body against Lu Ren's torso, hugged his neck from behind with his left hand, and held the knife in his right hand across the neck artery.

"Don't blame me, and don't meddle in other people's business in the next life."

As soon as the voice fell, Wu Xin was about to use his strength to cut Lu Ren's throat, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his instep.

At the same time, his abdomen was hit hard by Lu Ren's elbow, and his right hand holding the knife was also blocked.

Lu Ren completed this set of silky little combos in just a blink of an eye.

Wu Xin had always regarded him as a drunkard, so he was naturally unprepared and suffered a loss.

His face was distorted with pain, and his already sinister eyes added a bit of resentment.

Lu Ren had successfully distanced himself at this moment, drew his sword from its sheath, and looked coldly at his colleague who was obsessed with profit.

"Give me a reason not to kill you."

Wu Xin coughed twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of madness.

""Can you kill me with just your ability?"

Wu Xin asked himself if he was too careless just now, which gave Lu Ren an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Now, he is going all out, how can a lazy guy with a short life span be his opponent?

After shouting, Wu Xin took the lead with a knife in both hands, slashing at Lu Ren.

Lu Ren stood there with an unusually calm expression.

Wu Xin's knife skills were only at the minor level and posed no threat to him.

When Wu Xin approached within three steps, Lu Ren's eyes turned cold and he blocked with his right hand.

In an instant, flames flew everywhere.

A sharp sound of metal clashing was heard.

The opponent's sharp knife instantly pressed Lu Ren's body down a bit.

What Wu Xin didn't expect was that he didn't see the panic and fear on Lu Ren's face as he expected.

That calm and relaxed smile made him feel a little scared. He got mad and kicked forward.

Lu Ren's mouth corners slightly raised.

It's finally here.

If it was a sword fight, he would certainly not be Wu Xin's opponent.

But he had to kick, trying to break the deadlock in this way.

Lu Ren's left fist, which had been ready for a long time, blasted out.

"Can you block this punch that takes thirty years of practice?!"

The fist hit Wu Xin's shin with terrifying force.

""Crack".

The tibia was broken directly.

Wu Xin immediately let out a shrill scream, lost his balance, and staggered back a few steps.

His mind was confused now, and he had no idea what happened just now.

Why would Lu Ren, the drunkard whose body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, use the Seven Killing Fist at the Great Perfection level?

This is simply impossible!

Without waiting for Wu Xin to react, Lu Ren threw some extra steel knives on the ground, quickly rushed forward, grabbed Wu Xin's collar, and pressed him to the ground.

Fists as hard as iron and stone kept falling.

In an instant, a huge dent appeared on Wu Xin's chest, and all the ribs inside were broken.

Some even pierced into his internal organs.

Wu Xin was unrecognizable, vomiting blood, and his mind was a little unclear.

"I'll give you one more chance. Tell me a reason why I won't kill you."

Lu Ren held his fist in front of Wu Xin's face, ready to smash his skull with a punch at any time.

Wu Xin burst out with a strong desire to survive, and a few vague words gurgled out from his lips that were constantly bleeding.

Lu Ren seemed a little stunned after hearing this.

He murmured and repeated:"In the middle stage of transformation, two pages of scriptures......."

"Lu Ren!"

Yang Bin, awakened by the scream, rushed over with a knife in hand.

He first glanced at Wu Xin, who was lying on the ground and had lost his ability to move, and a strange color flashed across his eyes.

Then he came to Lu Ren:"How are you, are you not hurt?"

Lu Ren smiled and shook his head.

It was just a shallow blood mark on his neck, which was not worth mentioning.

"Wu Xin is in your hands. He is in collusion with the field mouse spirit and is considered an accomplice. How to deal with him is up to the villagers of Heitu Village to decide."

Lu Ren explained briefly, then picked up his steel knife and rushed into Wang Fugui's yard.

At this time, a candle was lit in the house.

Wang Fugui came out wearing a thin piece of clothing and looked at Lu Ren with a dazed expression.

"Sir, what are you doing in the middle of the night?........"

Lu Ren ignored him, staring at the empty space in front of him.

The several-foot-wide hole had disappeared.

The ground was intact except for a slightly arched mark.

Wang Fugui suddenly shouted,"Where is my food?"

He ran to the place where food was piled in the yard, but it was empty, with only a few grains of rice that had accidentally fallen on the ground.

""Sir, what on earth is going on?"

Wang Fugui was almost collapsed. The food disappeared again. How would he explain to the villagers tomorrow?

Lu Ren had no time to answer. He followed the inconspicuous arch on the ground and chased out. Wu

Xin's words kept lingering in his mind.......This is a realm unique to demons.

This means that the real culprit behind this incident is not just a group of field mice, but a real demon who is controlling everything behind the scenes.

Moreover, the other party's realm is still the middle stage of transformation, which is even stronger than Bai Yu.

As for the two pages of scriptures, they should be the reward promised by the demon to Wu Xin.

These two pages of scriptures can make Wu Xin lose his morals and kill his colleagues. They are definitely not ordinary things.

Lu Ren's heart was a little hot.

If he could kill the demon who stole the grain and take away the two pages of scriptures, it might bring about a qualitative change.

He now has martial arts but no skills. Even if he practices to perfection, he is still a mortal body.

Only with skills can he break through the peak of the mortal body and become a real martial artist.

This is an opportunity and an unprecedented challenge.

Because he needs to face the demon in the middle stage of transformation head-on this time, the risks are needless to say. Since it is a fight to the death, there is no need to hold back.

Lu Ren decided to put all of his remaining demon life into martial arts, and try to improve his combat power to the extreme.

While tracking the field mouse, he opened the panel in front of him.

【Name: Lu Ren】

【Current life span: 20/38】

【Monster lifespan: 90 years】

【Current Martial Arts:】

【Seven Killing Fist (Great)】

【Archery (beginner)】

After a moment's thought, Lu Ren silently said: Infuse me with fifty years of demon lifespan into [Bawu Sword ]
