Bee Tail Sword

The sky suddenly brightened. Fang Mu, along with a newly awakened Fang Jing and a somewhat resentful Qi Zhu, left Qingliu Town.

Following behind them was a group of recruited Demon Slayers.

Fang Mu explained the situation to Qi Zhu, not even hiding the existence of the mysterious organization. He needed Qi Zhu to help cover for him.

Regarding Sun Hou's death, Fang Mu couldn't just conjure another Sun Hou. He needed to provide an explanation upon their return.

To avoid suspicion, he had to make Qi Zhu take responsibility, claiming Sun Hou had attempted to take liberties with her, and she discovered it and seized the opportunity to sneak attack and kill him.

Although the excuse was a bit far-fetched, it was enough to get by.

At least Shen Shi wouldn't change his mission objectives just because Sun Hou suddenly died.

As they traveled, Qi Zhu's eyes held a hint of resentment.

It was because Fang Mu had been ruthless the previous night and knocked her unconscious, leaving her neck sore.

However, remembering that Fang Jing was also knocked out, and that Fang Mu seemed to care deeply for his sister, Qi Zhu felt her mood improve considerably.

Qi Zhu even felt a little smug, believing Fang Mu actually cared about her.

Fang Mu had even asked her to look after and protect Fang Jing for a few days.

This made Qi Zhu's imagination run wild for a moment.

In Qingzhu City, Fang Mu returned to the Demon Slayer Division and reported his mission to Deputy Commander Luo Shan.

Both the Demon Slayer Division and the Demon Extermination Division had Deputy Commanders and Supreme Commanders.

The Demon Extermination Division oversaw the overall situation and managed all affairs of the county government and town.

The Demon Slayer Division, on the other hand, was only responsible for internal affairs and had no authority to manage other matters.

Therefore, the Demon Extermination Division held greater power, possessing the authority to decide all matters, while the Commander of the Demon Slayer Division was merely a manager.

Deputy Commander Luo Shan of the Demon Slayer Division was a rather rigid and unsmiling man, but he handled matters impartially and did not deliberately make things difficult for Fang Mu.

After completing his mission, when Fang Mu returned to the main hall of the Demon Slayer Division, Tu Qing came to cause trouble.

Sun Hou's death had greatly angered Tu Qing, but Qi Zhu admitted to killing him and accused Sun Hou of attempting to take liberties with her.

Therefore, Tu Qing did not pursue the matter of responsibility, but he did not believe Sun Hou would dare to have ulterior motives towards Qi Zhu.

He suspected that Sun Hou might have stumbled upon something between Qi Zhu and Fang Mu, leading to them framing and killing him.

Tu Qing had no evidence and couldn't do anything to Fang Mu, but he could make things difficult for him.

As a result, Fang Mu spent the entire day demon hunting.

Tu Qing was truly insane, actually dumping a large pile of demon capturing bags on him.

Although the demons inside were generally not strong, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.

Exhausted from a day of demon hunting, Fang Mu was also quite annoyed, with a killing intent spreading within him.

Tu Qing was a future threat; he needed to find a way to improve his strength and seize an opportunity to kill him.

Looking at the last demon capturing bag in his hand, Fang Mu walked into the Mortal Prison's Seven Star Dungeon.

Upon entering the inner prison, Fang Mu found an iron chain, intending to use it as a weapon.

The demons this time were clearly not weak. Fang Mu had only managed to kill two or three of the Seven Star demons in the Mortal Prison; they were all very powerful.

As the demon capturing bag was opened, a demon with a bee-like head and a humanoid appearance emerged.

It had a pair of transparent wings and buzzed as it lunged at Fang Mu.

Seeing the attacking demon, Fang Mu let out a cold snort and swung the iron chain in his hand towards the bee demon.

The demon was incredibly fast, instantly evading the attack and extending its slender proboscis to stab Fang Mu.

Instead of retreating, Fang Mu swung the chain with both hands, creating an impenetrable defense.

The bee demon let out a scream as it was sent flying by the chain, unable to get close to Fang Mu.

After sending the bee demon flying with one strike, Fang Mu quickly moved forward, swung the iron chain, and struck the bee demon again.

The demon's speed was extreme, dodging left and right, but it couldn't avoid the dense barrage of attacks and was hit several times, dripping a significant amount of dark green liquid.

"Whoosh!"

The bee demon raised its tail and shot out a long, slender stinger.

The stinger was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it bypassed Fang Mu's chain defense and hit his shoulder.

Fang Mu gasped as he felt the intense pain in his shoulder.

The stinger contained a toxin that not only had a paralyzing effect but also corroded the wound and stimulated the pain nerves.

Enduring the pain, Fang Mu forcibly pulled out the stinger.

Fortunately, his physical defense was extremely strong, and the stinger had only penetrated a small portion; otherwise, his shoulder might have been pierced.

"Buzz buzz!"

The demon flapped its wings, turning into an afterimage as it attacked.

Seeing the bee demon, which had reached him in the blink of an eye, Fang Mu advanced instead of retreating and punched out, causing countless bone spurs to erupt from his body.

Sharp Bone Spurs pierced the bodies of the bee demons, which were too slow to dodge.

The demon let out a piercing shriek, riddled with holes by the Bone Spurs, and finally lost its life.

Fang Mu retracted the Bone Spurs and looked at the blood-soaked hole in his left hand. He gasped and quickly took out medicine to stop the bleeding.

Fortunately, his physical body possessed powerful self-healing abilities, and he quickly stopped the bleeding and scabbed over.

The torture instrument skillfully stripped the wings off the bee demon, and the rest was refined by the Demon Refining Mirror, even the tail stinger was refined.

The Intermediate Essence Blood Pill was smelted from the essence blood of the bee demon. After consumption, it could enhance Blood Essence and nourish the physical body.

The Bee Pattern Mask could integrate with the face, isolating all prying eyes, maintaining its mysterious characteristics. You deserve to have it.

The Bee Tail Sword was light and agile, its thrusts silent, possessing additional attributes of paralysis, corrosion, and nerve pain.

Fang Mu swallowed the Essence Blood Pill and looked at the paper-thin mask and the willow-leaf-like long sword that had appeared in his hand. He was overjoyed.

Indeed, high risk came with high reward. Powerful demons could refine good things.

After swinging the Bee Tail Sword a few times, Fang Mu felt it was too light and not suitable for him. He could leave it for Fang Jing as a weapon for protection.

Putting away the mask and the Bee Tail Sword, Fang Mu left the dungeon with the Bee Wings.

When he returned to the Demon Slayer Division's main hall, it was already getting dark. Fang Mu did not see Tu Qing.

Evidently, Tu Qing thought Fang Mu would need a full day and night to slay demons, so he didn't foolishly wait for him at the Demon Slayer Division.

After handing over the Bee Wings to several Demon Slayer Envoys for processing, Fang Mu left the Demon Slayer Division directly.

The city streets were already deserted, appearing somewhat empty.

Fang Mu did not return to the slums. Fang Jing was protected by Qi Zhu, and Xixi had also been arranged to stay by Fang Jing's side.

As long as they didn't run around, their safety should not be an issue.

Fang Mu walked along the empty alleys and headed to the Sacrificial God Hall again. He wanted to see if he could steal the power of faith from the divine statues in the other four halls.

Although it was a bit risky, he had a hunch.

As long as he could absorb that power of faith, his soul power would definitely undergo a transformation, becoming stronger and his perception more acute.

By the way, Fang Mu could also investigate Qi Zhu's background and see if he could find any clues.

Familiar with the way, Fang Mu quickly arrived at the Sacrificial God Hall. After sneaking in, he went to the Dao Hall first.
