“Don’t let them escape.”

Ji Shuisheng saw that they were about to escape. He stepped on the ground and flew up. He grabbed the ankle of a black-clothed man and threw him to the ground with great force.

However, he jumped up as if he didn’t feel the pain. He flew up again, and Su Qing kicked him to the ground. She flew up to chase after the few men in black who had escaped.

Ji Shuisheng was afraid that she would be in danger, so he cut off the legs of the man in black who had fallen to the ground so that he would no longer be able to escape. Zhong Yong, Qu Da, and the others rushed forward to hold down the man in black who was still struggling.

After Ji Shuisheng cut off the legs of the man in black, he did not care anymore and chased after Su Qing and the other men in black.

Su Qing chased the men in black to the city gate and found that the soldiers guarding the city wall had all been killed.

A few men in black left the door and ran up the city wall. They didn’t borrow any tools and jumped down from the city wall.

Su Qing saw them jump down and disappear into the night. She did not bother to open the city gate and stepped on the battlements, intending to jump down as well. However, she was pulled back by Ji Shuisheng, who caught up with her.

“The city walls are so high. You’ll be crippled even if you don’t die if you jump down.”

Su Qing watched as the men in black disappeared. She was very unwilling. These people had killed several of her generals. If they were not eliminated, they would be a considerable threat in the future.

Cheng Yu had also received the report and rushed over. It was not easy for the old hero. He thought that he would be able to sleep well today, but he did not expect the Tartan soldiers to launch a sneak attack that night and even kill several of their soldiers.

“Uncle Cheng.”

Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing went down the city tower and saw Cheng Yu rushing over in messy clothes.

“What happened?”

When Cheng Yu saw that it was Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing, he implored them, “How did these people get in when the city gate wasn’t open?”

“There were five men in black attacking the city. Their target is the detonator.”

Ji Shuisheng frowned and voiced his suspicions. He didn’t know how they knew the detonator was in that room. Those people had rushed straight to their courtyard with a clear motive.

Was there a spy? Was it a traitor who let the men in black into the city?

“The power of the detonator is so great that it will attract the attention of various forces.”

Cheng Yu understood too well the meaning of an innocent man’s possession of a treasure. The detonator could protect Mo City but would also bring more people to covet it.

“We caught a man in black. Let’s go and interrogate him.”

Cheng Yu had already ordered people to stand guard again. This time, he sent a few more people. Not many soldiers were left, and four were killed in a sneak attack. Cheng Yu felt very distressed.

When they returned to the house, they saw Zhong Yong sitting on the body of the tied up man in black. The man in black seemed to have gone mad and was struggling desperately. Whistles would ring out from time to time in the night sky. Every time the whistle sounded, the eyes of the man in black would emit a strange light. Even Qu Da, who had been through many battles, felt terrified when he saw it.

Qu Da went over to pull off the mask of the man in black, only to discover that under the mask was a girl’s face. It was deathly pale without a trace of blood. The eyes that stared at Qu Da were unfocused; on this night, it was as terrifying as the black-and-white impermanence.

The moment Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing stepped into the courtyard, Zhong Yong shouted at them,

“Big Brother, Master, this youth is not fair. I wanted to smash his head with a hammer, but they wouldn’t let me.”

Zhong Yong complained and rolled his eyes at Qu Da and the others to express dissatisfaction.

“You can’t hammer her. 1 still have something to ask her.”

Ji Shuisheng pulled Zhong Yong up, afraid his sworn brother would kill the person in front of him with a hammer under impulse

“Qiu Yue?”

Ji Shuisheng looked at the man in black on the ground in disbelief. She had lost an arm and two legs and was writhing on the floor like a maggot. Her eyes glared at Ji Shuisheng like a beast wanting to eat him.

Ji Shuisheng and even Su Qing also looked at Qiu Yue in disbelief. She was sure that she had hung this woman in the forest. She had felt her pulse and tried her breath. She was dead.

Could it be that this was someone who looked like Qiu Yue?

Su Qing remembered a red birthmark curved like a sickle on the back of Qiu Yue’s neck.

Su Qing picked her up from the ground. Qiu Yue’s lifeless eyes were fixed on her. The green light in her eyes flickered like a ghost from hell, her eyes filled with hatred.

Su Qing flipped her over and threw her on the ground. She stepped on her restless head and looked at her exposed neck. There was a sickle-like birthmark on her neck.

Su Qing rechecked her pulse. There was no pulse and no temperature. She was a dead body.

“Give me the saber.”

Su Qing wanted to know what was going on. She asked Ji Shuisheng for a knife, and he handed it to her.

He also knew about Qiu Yue’s death. Even now, he was still in shock. How could a dead person come back to life?

Su Qing looked into Qiu Yue’s eyes when she took the knife. There was no fear in her eyes. Her pupils were extremely black, and a green light was jumping in the middle of her eyes.

“Playing tricks.”

Su Qing stabbed Qiu Yue in the chest. If I can kill you once, I can kill you twice.

Qiu Yue let out a howl that sounded like a wolf’s cry. Su Qing pulled down the Luan saber in her hand. Immediately, the entire courtyard was filled with an unpleasant stench. Only her heart was left in Qiu Yue’s chest. All the other organs had been emptied.

Su Qing saw a white object on the heart. She was about to pick it up to see what it was. The item disappeared into thin air.

“Witchcraft.”

When Ji Shuisheng saw this situation, he recalled the witchcraft technique his foster father had once mentioned. One of them was to use people who died a violent death with deep resentment to become human demons. It was extraordinary to be able to fight against a hundred people. They were mighty and impenetrable.

These human demons only listened to one person’s orders, the person who used the witchcraft technique on them.

This was the first time Su Qing had heard of such a thing. She knew a drought demon was also mighty and invulnerable to blades and spears. Wherever the drought demon appeared, there would be drought, which had to be eliminated.

Ji Shuisheng tried his best to recall the witchcraft technique his foster father had told him about.

“Generally, the person who commands the human demon must set up an altar within a radius of ten miles. The human demon will no longer be a threat if we find and destroy him.”

“Let’s go and look for it.”

Su Qing threw Qiu Yue’s mutilated body away. She was now completely dead. The skin on her face was turning black and rotten at speed visible to the naked eye. She gradually lost her human appearance and became a skeleton.

“Where can we find one?”

A radius of ten miles was not a small area. Searching in the four directions was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

“I just saw those men in black running towards Tartan, so let’s chase them there.”

Su Qing felt that the person who used witchcraft must be eliminated immediately. Otherwise, when he cultivated more human demons, he and Shuisheng might be unable to deal with them.

“Uncle Cheng, we’ll go and find the mastermind. Please take care of the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove and my grandfather and sister.”

Before Ji Shuisheng left, he entrusted Cheng Yu to care for his relatives. Cheng Yu was distraught.

“Young master, these human demons are mighty. You’d better not rush over.”

“It’s fine. If we don’t get rid of them now, there will be endless trouble in the future.”

Ji Shuisheng waved his hand to stop Cheng Yu from continuing. He had to go, but Su Qing had to stay. He could not let her go with him on such a dangerous

matter..
