A Ruffian Hero: Geng, the Bodyguard!

At that moment, the two Wolf Demons were directing their offspring to pounce and tear at Chen Fan and the others, while they themselves hid in the shadows, not daring to show their faces easily.

Chen Fan wielded the Embroidered Spring Blade in his hand, dispatching one Wolf Demon with each strike. Killing these Divine Treasury Realm First Stage Wolf Demons was as easy for him as eating and drinking.

Lu Xuening and Huang Chengyue were not to be outdone, and they also took action. With their strength, killing small demons of this level was simply effortless.

As soon as the three of them made their move, after a few exchanges, more than half of the twenty-odd Wolf Demons were either dead or wounded. The remaining Wolf Demons scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing to every corner of the County Magistrate Estate to hide.

"Constable Lu, how dare you! You actually sent people to surround this official's residence. Are you trying to rebel?"

Just as Chen Fan and the others were searching everywhere for the Wolf Demons and killing them, County Magistrate Li Shouyi came out with his household servants and bodyguards in a menacing manner. He immediately began to berate Lu Xuening.

"County Magistrate Li, harboring demons and colluding with monsters is a crime punishable by death."

"We Brocade Guard are directly under the command of His Majesty, monitoring aristocratic families and sects, and slaying demons and monsters. If anyone dares to obstruct us, we can execute them first and report later, with absolutely no leniency!"

"County Magistrate Li, would you like to test the sharpness of this Chen's Embroidered Spring Blade?"

Chen Fan walked up to Li Shouyi, pressed his hand on the Embroidered Spring Blade at his waist, and said in a cold voice.

"You, you, you... don't be arrogant!"

Li Shouyi was so frightened by Chen Fan's imposing manner that he took a few steps back.

Although he was the County Magistrate, he was, in the end, a scholar who had studied the classics. Faced with a martial artist like Chen Fan, who was so strong and imposing, he was instantly defeated.

"Control all these people."

"Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy!"

Lu Xuening glanced at County Magistrate Li Shouyi and waved her hand directly. The constables, police officers, and soldiers behind her hesitated for a moment, and then immediately surrounded County Magistrate Li Shouyi and the others.

"You are being presumptuous!"

"I, Li Shouyi, am the local official of Ping An County, the parent official of this county, your provider of food and clothing. How dare you draw your swords against me?"

"You really have a lot of nerve!"

County Magistrate Li Shouyi looked at the constables, police officers, and soldiers surrounding him and shouted in a deep voice.

Everyone turned a deaf ear, selectively ignoring him. No matter how nasty his curses were, no one retorted, nor did they lay a hand on him, but they also wouldn't let him out of their sight for even half a step.

At this moment, two tall, bipedal Wolf Demons walked out of the hall and pounced on Chen Fan and Lu Xuening.

[Killed a Divine Treasury Realm Fourth Stage Wolf Demon, stealing its remaining lifespan of twenty-eight years!]

[Killed a Divine Treasury Realm Fourth Stage Wolf Demon, stealing its remaining lifespan of thirty years!]

Chen Fan quickly and nimbly killed the two Wolf Demons. Seeing the prompts on the attribute panel in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Ordinary dogs can usually only live for a dozen years. After gaining intelligence and becoming demons, their lifespan will increase, but compared to those demon clans with sufficient innate lifespan, it is still not enough!

Chen Fan and the others killed two Divine Treasury Realm Fourth Stage Wolf Demons and twenty-four Divine Treasury Realm First Stage Wolf Demons in County Magistrate Li Shouyi's house. In Li Shouyi's backyard, where the Wolf Demons lived, they saw a pile of white bones that was like a small mountain.

"This Li Shouyi is simply damned!"

Chen Fan said in a deep voice.

"We can't kill him, but I will report his evil deeds to Dragon Abyss Prefecture. The Great Zhou Dynasty law will naturally deal with him!"

Lu Xuening said.

If County Commandant Liu Xuan was only forced to collude, then this County Magistrate Li Shouyi was an out-and-out corrupt official.

He was willing to be a lackey of demons, to compete with Cao De for power and profit. Keeping Wolf Demons in his house caused countless prisoners who should not have died to be devoured by the Wolf Demons, and also caused countless families to be destroyed!

If he were not to die, it would simply not be enough to appease the public's anger!

Lu Xuening, in her capacity as a Ninth-Rank Black-Robed Constable, directly imprisoned the Seventh-Rank official, County Magistrate of Ping An County, in the prison, awaiting the decision of Dragon Abyss Prefecture.

Next, they went to the homes of the County Clerk, Record Keeper, Education Official, Advisor, and others in turn, and found more or less demons in their homes.

Among them, the Wolf Demon in the Record Keeper's house was the most ferocious. When he realized that the county soldiers had surrounded the Record Keeper's house, he thought that the Record Keeper had betrayed them and directly bit the Record Keeper's entire family of a dozen people to death.

In the Education Official's house, there were two Ape Demons. The women in his family were tortured to the point of being half-dead by these two Ape Demons.

After the two Ape Demons were killed by Chen Fan and the others, the Education Official took a knife and killed all the surviving women in his family, and then committed suicide.

In the County Clerk's house, there were several Female Snake Demons. In addition to eating people, they also needed to extract yang to replenish yin, so the servants and bodyguards in the County Clerk's house were almost drained, each of them skin and bones, with faltering steps.

Some of them died directly on the bellies of the Female Snake Demons, entering the Snake Demons' bellies.

"You know, if these Female Snake Demons transform into human form, they're quite hot!"

Geng, the Bodyguard, with a full beard, said with a bit of aftertaste.

As a result, County Clerk Ye kicked him directly, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

"You still have the nerve to say that? You and a group of Female Demons were the ones who were getting hot and heavy in the mansion."

"When you entered my mansion as a bodyguard, you were burly and strong, able to lift a thousand-pound stone mill, and had the courage of ten thousand men. Now, you're almost falling to the ground from a kick from me, a weak scholar."

"Aren't you ashamed?"

Ye Jichuan pointed at his childhood friend and bodyguard with a speechless expression.

"Hehehe."

"I'm just helping to share the burden for the brothers in our mansion."

"Does Lord Ye really have the heart to let these brothers die in the bellies of those Female Snake Demons?"

"The capable should do more, just replenish them afterward."

Geng, the Bodyguard, scratched his head sheepishly as he spoke.

Chen Fan looked at Geng, the Bodyguard, and thought this guy was quite the character.

A heroic outlaw, Geng, the Bodyguard!

This guy shouldn't let Ning Caichen, the Death Knight, steal all the limelight!

"Thank you, Chief Chen, Constable Lu, and everyone present, for saving me from this dire situation. Ye is eternally grateful!"

Ye Jichuan cupped his fist in his other hand and bowed to everyone, without the slightest pretense of an official. He also didn't become enraged that Chen Fan and the others had slain the demons.

It seemed that although Lord Ye had been held hostage by demons, he hadn't chosen to collude with them, acting as their accomplice.

County Commandant Liu also praised him as upright and honest, which showed that Lord Ye could truly be considered untainted by his surroundings!

However, Lord Ye wasn't a hothead either. Living in Ping An County under demonic control, he chose to protect himself, neither helping the demons harm the people nor openly opposing them.

He chose to wait for the opportune moment.

And now, the opportune moment had arrived!

"Today, we've slain seventy-five demons. The largest number of them were that nest of Dog Demons from the County Magistrate Estate. With today's battle, I estimate that the vast majority of demons in Ping An County have been purged."

"Even if there are any left, they're probably hiding far away, too afraid to show their faces again. This is an unprecedented victory for us!"

Huang Chengyue couldn't help but say with emotion.

Time seemed to have suddenly returned to thirty or forty years ago.

At that time, he had just become a Brocade Guard in Ping An County. The demon scourge in Ping An County wasn't too serious yet. A demon scourge might not even occur once a year in the city.

Their main focus was patrolling the area. Sometimes, they couldn't find a single demon for months, making it difficult for them to accumulate merit.

Once they heard that demons were causing trouble somewhere, these young fellows would all cry out and volunteer to go on missions to slay the demons!
