I Can Tell You're Not Human Just By Looking

Lu Changkong's mind was stirred by Miaoyin's words. He was young and hot-blooded, how could he bear to see the goddess in his heart suffer such humiliation? Immediately, his blood rushed to his head. He raised his hand, and the short sword floating before him vibrated, emitting a sinister aura.

He glared at Lin Baichuan, shouting angrily, "Kid, how dare you use the name of the Demon Suppression Division to bully the common folk? You want to arrest someone without evidence, who gave you the guts?"

"Well said, Miss Miaoyin is the top courtesan of Tianyin Workshop, what does she have to do with demons?"

"Even if the Demon Suppression Division is acting, they need solid evidence. If you arrest people randomly without evidence, do you think there's no law in this world?"

"How could Miss Miaoyin be a demon? Do you, the Demon Suppression Division, think all the powerful people in our city are blind?"

For a time, discussions filled the entire Tianyin Workshop.

Some were egging him on, secretly supporting Lu Changkong. Voices were heard, but no people were seen, clearly fanning the flames.

Lin Baichuan swept his gaze over everyone in Tianyin Workshop, his eyes as cold as knives. These damned commoners truly didn't want to live, daring to obstruct the Demon Suppression Division. Especially Lu Changkong before him, who was brazen with lust.

However, this fool was also foolishly endearing. He thought he was a hero saving a beauty, but he didn't realize he was just a pawn, being played by the demon that had possessed Miaoyin.

"Lu Changkong, you dare to obstruct my Demon Suppression Division, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to your Lu Family?"

Yang Zhan also looked displeased and shouted sternly.

The Lu Family, behind Lu Changkong, was like the Yang Family behind him, both top families in Cangwu County City. It was inevitable that scions of noble families would know each other. Although the two usually didn't get along, Yang Zhan didn't actually want Lu Changkong to be deceived and toyed with by the demon because of this.

After all, this was not just a loss of face for Lu Changkong, but also a slap in the face for their noble families.

"Hmph... Yang Zhan, stop with the nonsense. If you want to deal with Miss Miaoyin today, you'll have to get past me first." Lu Changkong snorted coldly, completely ignoring Yang Zhan's reprimand and reminder. "Without evidence, the Demon Suppression Division cannot act recklessly."

Clang...

As soon as he spoke, Yang Zhan's entire face turned ashen. He was about to retort angrily.

However, at this moment, Lin Baichuan suddenly moved. His battle saber vibrated, and with a chilling glint, he slashed down.

The saber's cry was like a storm, its edge sharp and its killing intent surging.

This was the Seven Kill Saber Art.

Although the Seven Kill Saber Art was only a low-grade Mortal-tier martial art, its power was still extraordinary. Moreover, Lin Baichuan had cultivated the Seven Kill Saber Art to the perfected realm, making its power even greater, comparable to mid-tier Mortal-grade.

The saber light flickered, directly slashing towards Lu Changkong.

This scene happened too quickly. Even Lu Changkong, who was directly in its path, didn't react. He never expected Lin Baichuan to be so ruthless, to actually resort to lethal force at the slightest disagreement. Seeing Lin Baichuan's saber slash down, almost instinctively, he immediately activated the Spirit Artifact Short Sword and charged towards Lin Baichuan's battle saber.

Boom...

The saber and sword collided, emitting a dull roar. A terrifying shockwave erupted from Lin Baichuan's battle saber, carrying an astonishing malevolent aura. With a single slash, it actually forced Lu Changkong's short sword to fly backward.

The powerful impact forced both Lin Baichuan and Lu Changkong to retreat repeatedly.

"Yang Zhan, you guys help me stop him."

Lin Baichuan roared, stomped his foot, and immediately lunged forward, charging straight towards Miaoyin.

"You're dead!"

Seeing this, Lu Changkong roared with a ferocious expression. He raised his hand, gripped the short sword, and was about to stab towards Lin Baichuan. Just then, Yang Zhan and the others finally moved. Their figures flickered, their battle sabers were drawn, and they forcefully blocked Lu Changkong's path.

"Lu Changkong, you'd best stay put! Daring to ambush a Demon Slayer Guard of the Demon Suppression Division, you must be tired of living."

Yang Zhan snorted coldly. With the combined strength of several people, they charged directly at Lu Changkong.

They didn't intend to defeat Lu Changkong. After all, Lu Changkong was in the eighth-rank Bone Forging Realm, while the strongest among them, Yang Zhan, was only at the peak of the ninth-rank Skin Refinement. It seemed like only one step separated them from the eighth-rank Bone Forging, but that single step was a world of difference.

Therefore, even with their combined efforts, it was impossible for them to defeat Lu Changkong. However, if they could just delay him for a bit, they could manage.

"Get lost!"

Seeing that he was being blocked by Yang Zhan and the others, Lu Changkong's anger surged. He shouted sternly and immediately activated his short sword, slashing directly at Yang Zhan, who was blocking the way.

"Hmph, you think I'm afraid of you?"

Yang Zhan, with his young master's temper, had never endured such humiliation. Naturally, his anger flared, and without hesitation, he swung his saber, slashing towards Lu Changkong.

At the same time, the moment Yang Zhan made his move, the other Demon Slayer Guards who had come with him also moved. Their battle sabers were drawn, and they all slashed towards Lu Changkong. At this moment, Lin Baichuan flicked his battle saber, slashing directly towards Miaoyin.

The battle saber whistled, faintly carrying a sound of breaking through the air. In an instant, it was before Miaoyin.

The sharp blade was about to slice across Miaoyin's throat.

Roar...

Just then, an unexpected change occurred. Miaoyin, who had been looking delicate and flustered moments ago, suddenly leaped up, letting out a beast-like howl. She raised her right hand, emitting a sinister demonic aura, and forcefully blocked Lin Baichuan's incoming battle saber.

The battle saber was sharp, but when it struck Miaoyin's arm, sparks flew, and the sound of metal clashing echoed.

"Damn Demon Slayer Guard, you ruined my plan, you're looking for death..."

A low roar sounded. Thick demonic energy surged from within Miaoyin, her entire face instantly turned ashen, and strange demonic patterns appeared.

Her originally delicate body instantly swelled by a circle, becoming like an iron tower.

"Damn it, it really is a demon... Lu Changkong, you're finished. Daring to collude with a demon, your entire Lu Family is doomed..."

On the stage, Yang Zhan, who had been fighting Lu Changkong, suddenly changed his expression and roared, "Quick, send a message..."

The appearance of a demon in the city, possessing a human body, was no small matter.

Relying solely on them might not be enough to handle this; we must immediately notify the Demon Suppression Division to send people over.

Meanwhile!

As Yang Zhan shouted, Lin Baichuan looked at the demon that had instantly demonized and revealed its true form. His eyes shone with a brilliant light, and he coldly snorted with immense excitement, "I knew from the first glance you weren't human. Today, this young master will send you to the afterlife..."

Before his words even fell, Lin Baichuan had already moved, raising his Battle Saber and slashing out.

Seven Kill Saber Art: Greed Wolf Howls at Heaven.

The saber light surged, and the killing intent rolled like a mountain flood.

At this moment, Yang Zhan immediately dropped Lu Changkong and rushed over with his Battle Saber, wanting to lend Lin Baichuan a hand.

On the stage.

Upon seeing this, Lu Changkong was utterly stunned. His face turned ashen, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible... How is this possible? How could Miss Miaoyin be a demon? This is absolutely impossible..."

He was going mad, acting like a lunatic, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.

Miaoyin was actually a demon. This not only shattered his illusions but also brought disaster upon the Lu Family.

Colluding with a demon and obstructing the Demon Suppression Division's investigation.

Either of these charges was a serious crime. Now, he had committed both, and dying twice wouldn't be enough. Moreover, the entire Lu Family would suffer because of him. If things went poorly, they could very well have their property confiscated and be wiped out.

The thought of this made Lu Changkong tremble all over, his face pale. His entire spirit seemed to drain away in an instant, and he sat down on the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat.
