Demonic Beasts Attack

Su Ye felt helpless. He wasn't one to meddle in others' affairs. He had only stumbled upon the situation by chance before. Now, with everyone pleading, he could only agree for the time being: "I will report this matter truthfully to the county yamen."

"During this period, I will be stationed here. I doubt Huang Qianqing would dare to come again."

The old man who had spoken earlier was about to make another request, but after thinking for a while, he finally said hesitantly, "Everything is as Lord Su arranges."

The old man's name was Liu Baotian. He was the headman responsible for managing all the affairs of Kaoshan Town. He seemed to notice the bloodstains on Su Ye's body.

"Lord, the town yamen still needs some time to be repaired. Why don't you wash up first?"

Noticing the thick bloodstains on his clothes, Su Ye said, "That's fine."

He then informed Liu Baotian about Meng Daniu's sister, asking him to help organize people to search for her, and then he left.

The sky was like a black curtain. Su Ye quickly finished the meal Liu Baotian had brought him and began calculating. He had just obtained a Body Refining Technique and a Martial Skill, but he was frustrated by the lack of Assistance Points to rapidly improve. If he had to cultivate it himself, who knew how long it would take to even get started.

With his current strength, it was still unsafe to go out and search for Demonic Beasts. He decided to take things one step at a time.

"Lord... Lord, the town yamen has been cleaned up, and the broken wooden walls have all been repaired. Is there anything else you need?"

Hearing the voice, Su Ye looked at the man who spoke and the few people behind him. "Thank you all. You may go back now."

Before the crowd could finish their goodbyes and leave the room, a loud shout came from outside.

"Lord... Lord!" A man, about forty years old with a pale face, rushed into the room, shouting, "Lord, there are Demonic Beasts!"

Before Su Ye could speak, the men who had been repairing the town yamen looked at each other in fear and hurriedly asked, "Niu Er, did you see clearly? You can't be mistaken."

"It's true, absolutely true! I saw two Pig Demons sneaking into Da Hu's house when I went out to relieve myself," said the man named Niu Er, looking at Su Ye with a trembling voice.

"Don't panic. You should go home and notify your families first, and don't go out casually. Niu Er, you will take me there now to see what's happening."

Su Ye stood up, picked up a long saber from the several placed on the table, and walked out of the room in a few steps. He turned to look at Niu Er, who was still standing there, and said, "Aren't you going?"

"Yes, yes, Lord."

Seeing Su Ye's figure disappear outside the town yamen, the men exchanged glances. One of them said, "Lord Su is powerful. Meng Daniu said he has also killed Demonic Beasts before. We should do as Lord Su says."

"This time is different, you fool! Didn't you hear Niu Er say there were two Pig Demons? Besides, we don't even know if what Niu Er said is true."

"What if there are more than two Pig Demons? Even with Lord Su's strength, he might be in grave danger. Why don't we..."

"Feng Qi, why don't you finish?" The men gathered around urged him on.

Feng Qi's eyes gleamed as he said, "Why don't we notify others first? It would be good to have everyone together for mutual support. If there are more people, we'll have more courage."

"That makes sense. Let's split up according to your suggestion."

Meanwhile, Huang Qianqing had already returned to Linshan County. At the Black Tiger Gang's hall, an old man in his fifties sat quietly in the main seat, listening.

"Second Uncle, you must avenge me! That brat not only beat me up but also killed six runners. This is a serious crime."

Looking at the pale-faced Huang Qianqing, the old man said slowly, "I will go to the county yamen tomorrow and summon that brat back. Then you can do whatever you want with him."

Huang Qianqing hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, why don't you go to Kaoshan Town tonight? My mind is filled with that brat's image. I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood."

"Why the rush? I can't interfere with your yamen's affairs. You'll be satisfied tomorrow. That's final."

"Thank you, Second Uncle."

For a moment, a flush spread across Huang Qianqing's pale face. When he catches that brat, he wouldn't kill him easily. He would definitely humiliate him thoroughly, making him wish he were dead.

He likes to meddle in others' business. Fine, then in front of him, I'll capture Wu Lao Er and his wife and toy with them, making that brat kneel on the ground and beg me.

North of Kaoshan Town, Su Ye followed Niu Er back to his residence. The autumn wind still carried a slight heat, rustling the leaves on the treetops. The two squatted in the bushes, and Niu Er spoke.

"Lord, that's Da Hu's house."

Su Ye followed his gaze and saw a fence ahead. The courtyard gate was wide open, and it was very quiet inside, with faint candlelight flickering within.

"Does anyone else live in your house?"

Hearing Su Ye's question, Niu Er's face was filled with melancholy. "To be honest, Lord, I am forty-three years old and still a bachelor. I have no relatives at home."

"In that case, you should return to the town yamen and wait there."

Niu Er had no desire to stay there any longer. As soon as Su Ye finished speaking, he turned and ran towards the town yamen without hesitation.

Su Ye watched him go without saying anything further. He quickened his pace towards the fenced courtyard ahead, passing through the gate and gradually slowing his steps.

Niu Er wouldn't dare to lie to him, but there might be other Demonic Beasts. He still needed to be careful. Su Ye pondered this as he looked through the gaps in the wooden window. He heard a voice.

"Lao Er, put it down gently! The little ones at home are waiting to gain Sentience. If you damage them, Father won't forgive you." A very obese Pig Demon gnawed on internal organs, speaking indistinctly.

Su Ye's gaze shifted from the speaking Pig Demon to another Pig Demon holding a sack. This Pig Demon was much shorter than the one speaking.

This Pig Demon remained silent, carrying the blood-stained sack and walking out of the house.

"Tch, boring. Lao Er, hurry up! You can't let the other brothers get there first." Although the Pig Demon who had spoken earlier urged him on, he remained seated on the ground, showing no intention of getting up.

"Creak."

The wooden door slowly opened from inside. The Pig Demon carrying the sack, with half its body just emerging from the doorway, suddenly froze. Its pupils contracted violently, and its strong body quickly retreated. However, it was a bit too late.

Su Ye had already been waiting at the door for a long time. As the Pig Demon's half-body emerged from the doorway, he raised the long saber in his hand and swung it down with extreme speed.

The saber light was dazzling, even more chilling under the moonlight. The saber moved incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the Pig Demon's neck.

"Slash."

With a light sound, red liquid splattered, and the head of a Pig Demon then heavily smashed onto the ground.

Killed [Early Sentience · Pig Demon], gained 19 Assistance Points.

The commotion outside the door startled the Pig Demon inside, causing it to stand up abruptly. It gripped its great axe tightly in its hands, glaring ferociously at Su Ye outside the door.

"Boy, who are you to dare kill my brother?"

Su Ye remained silent. He tapped the ground with his toes and appeared before the Pig Demon. He sidestepped to avoid the great axe swinging horizontally, then gripped the hilt of his blade with both hands and slashed powerfully.

The Pig Demon inwardly cursed its misfortune. Its great axe was too cumbersome, and it was too late to block. It shifted its body slightly to avoid vital areas, intending to take the blow head-on.

Blood splattered as the long saber struck the Pig Demon's thick collarbone, unable to advance further. Seeing this, Su Ye harbored no intention of pressing his advantage. He flipped backward to dodge a powerful straight kick from the Pig Demon and had just stood up.

When a rough voice came from outside: "Zhu Lie, what are you doing? Such a big commotion, aren't you afraid of attracting people from the Demon Suppression Division?"

"Boy, you're finished. Just wait to die."

"Are the Gou family brothers here?" The Pig Demon's expression contorted, and it shouted loudly, "There's a kid, seems like he's from the county yamen's constable, who actually dared to break our agreement. We absolutely cannot let him escape tonight."

Hearing the voices of the Demonic Beasts outside, Su Ye felt a great sense of dread. He had to deal with the Pig Demon in front of him first. Otherwise, if the Demonic Beasts from outside came in, he would be caught between two forces, and his situation would rapidly deteriorate. With this thought.
