The people in the cages looked at each other. An old man whispered, "The baby is small. It can be squeezed through the gap. See this hole on the ground?"
The old man shifted his body, revealing a small hollow beneath. He said with hope in his eyes, "Put the baby here. Whether it lives or not depends on fate."
The crowd was silent, nodding in unison. They prayed for a miracle.
With a creak of the rough wooden gate, a Dog Demon bared its fangs and casually grabbed a sallow-faced teenager, dragging him out.
"Who..."
Suddenly, a loud shout echoed through the area. From a dark alley in the distance, a tall figure emerged, dragging a giant blade.
The giant blade scraped deep grooves into the ground, and the "rustling" sound of it grinding against the dirt drew everyone's attention.
The clear moonlight shone on the newcomer. He was dressed in a blue tunic with a red cross-collar outer garment. His steps were slow but remarkably steady.
The Fox Demon turned, its eyes glowing red, and said coldly, "Who are you?"
Su Ye's footsteps didn't falter, and he remained silent. However, the crimson mist steaming from his body made many of the Demonic Beasts present tremble inwardly.
Feeling ignored, the Fox Demon became enraged. It waved its hand and shouted, "Take him down!"
As the words fell, the surrounding Demonic Beasts hesitated for a moment before charging forward in unison, shouting.
"Kid, you're not bad-looking, just not smart. How dare you disturb our fun?"
Su Ye clenched his left fist and swung it out like a cannonball, directly turning the attacking Monkey Demon into a mist of blood.
Witnessing this, countless citizens within the rough wooden cages looked up as if gazing at a deity, and voices involuntarily rose.
"It's a god."
"The god has truly heard our humble prayers."
An old woman, her voice hoarse, kowtowed repeatedly.
"Bang..." "Bang..."
Su Ye's steps quickened, leaving a trail of afterimages. His left hand moved like a battering ram, striking relentlessly. Under his violent assault, the attacking Demonic Beasts exploded into bloody chunks and scattered.
Suddenly, Su Ye's speed increased again. Empowered by his vital energy, his perfected Flowing Dragon Steps made it seem as if a giant dragon had truly appeared beneath his feet.
In an instant, he was before the Fox Demon. He raised his right arm sharply. The move was extremely simple, just a downward smash from above, but it carried an invincible force, pressing down on the Fox Demon.
Because the Ghost Head Saber was too large, it was very different from the force-generating techniques of the Black Fiend Saber Technique.
When Su Ye had cultivated this Martial Skill to perfection, he was no longer limited by weapon type.
"Dragging Saber Slash."
This move was a basic charging technique. The saber was dragged along the ground, and with each step, the power of the saber technique increased by one point.
The giant blade, amplified by his formidable strength, produced a sonic boom. It was like a waterfall, gathering the power of the Milky Way descending from the nine heavens, striking awe into the entire audience.
"I yield!" The Fox Demon's face contorted in terror.
At this moment, it stared intently at the giant blade in mid-air, disbelief etched on its face. Its body seemed frozen, unable to even blink.
Everything was because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. It was already intimidated by the powerful saber momentum. The Fox Demon's lips bled crimson liquid as it mustered all its strength to block.
"Boom!"
Without a doubt, the Fox Demon's counterattack had no effect. It couldn't even last the blink of an eye before exploding into a cloud of blood mist amidst a deafening roar. The ground beneath it was blasted into a pit several meters deep by the immense force.
"Everyone, split up and run! This person's strength is too terrifying. We need to inform the Great King quickly."
The Demonic Beasts' eyes widened in rage as they turned to flee. In the silent night, the sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground continued to echo.
Ma San struggled to sit up, wiping his eyes with his hands, still unable to believe what had happened before him.
"Could it be... reinforcements sent by the county yamen?"
That night, after he had slain the invading Demonic Beasts, he had immediately sent an official document to the county yamen. He hadn't expected that at his most desperate moment, a letter would become his only glimmer of hope.
At this moment, he felt as if all his strength had drained away, and he collapsed heavily.
"We're saved, we're saved!"
"We have hope!"
He mustered all his strength and shouted, "Reinforcements have arrived! We are saved!"
Countless figures within the cages covered their faces and wept uncontrollably.

"Father, the county yamen has finally acted! We don't have to die." A young man excitedly gripped the arm of the man beside him.
"Yun'er, we're alive." A woman gently kissed the forehead of her young child.
The originally sleeping child opened its eyes and innocently wiped away his mother's tears, saying in a childlike voice, "Mom, why are you crying? Did a bad person bully you? I'll go scare them away."
Su Ye's figure flashed, and the giant blade swung repeatedly. Many Demonic Beasts' upper bodies fell, and their struggling forms in the compacted earth let out pained groans.
Their lower bodies, however, seemed to have a mind of their own, continuing to charge forward for more than ten meters before finally falling.

Su Ye sheathed his blade and turned, closing the panel before slowly walking back into the center of the area.
Crack
He sliced open the rough wooden cage with a single strike. The citizens inside looked at him with awe, as if gazing upon a deity.
"Are you a god?" a simple young man, kneeling on both knees, asked with fervent eyes, looking up at the imposing figure.
"Living Buddha," the old man kowtowed repeatedly, murmuring incessantly.
At this moment, the faces of the citizens not only regained a hint of spirit but also held an inexplicable reverence.
"Thank you, my Lord, for saving Xinghua Town," Ma San said, staggering to his feet with extreme respect.
Su Ye looked at the crowd and said, "I am merely a constable. I do not deserve the title of Lord, nor can I bear the name of a god. Please, all of you, rise quickly."
"My Lord."
Inside the dilapidated town yamen, Ma San, forcing himself, sat on a wooden chair.
Once the figure was seated, Su Ye asked, "Constable Ma, you only arrived in Xinghua Town these past few days."
"That's correct." Ma San then asked, "May I ask if you received a notice, my Lord, and came to support us?"
Su Ye shook his head slightly. It seemed Zhou Tao was not in cahoots with the county magistrate. And he must have known that Demonic Beasts would be harassing various towns in the coming days, yet he still arranged for personnel to conduct preventative measures.
I wonder what his intentions are, knowing the county magistrate is colluding with Demonic Beasts, yet acting in such a manner in secret.
"My Lord, why did you happen to arrive in Xinghua Town?" Ma San asked, puzzled.
"I am like you, a constable stationed outside. You don't need to call me Lord."
After a few casual words with Ma San, Su Ye walked out of the main hall. After bidding farewell to the citizens, he moved to a dark corner and slowly opened his panel.
His gaze fell upon the [Dragon Tiger Vajra Skill] in the cultivation technique section. This technique had a plus sign appear again behind it. He muttered silently.

The explosive power coursing through his body made Su Ye clench his fists involuntarily. The Qi and Blood Power that had been completely depleted was rapidly recovering, and in less than a moment, it was restored as before.
The Qi and Blood Power continued to surge, as if a gentle stream had now become a mighty river flowing endlessly within his body.
His physical strength had increased by more than three times, and the issue of Qi and Blood depletion, which had always worried him, was now resolved.
Once Qi and Blood were depleted, replenishing them not only required large amounts of nourishment but also a considerable amount of time.
