The fish demon

Fresh blood began to flow down the cutting board.

The little cuttlefish opened its mouth weakly, its body still writhing.

The cuttlefish is inherently very resilient. Even now that it has been gutted, it is still struggling and has not died.

A burly man nearby sniffed the smell and found it rather strange.

Why does this blood even have a fragrance?

Thinking of this, the burly man, as if possessed, dipped his finger in the blood and then tasted it.

The blood entered my mouth, and instantly I felt a burning sensation. After flowing down my throat and into my body, it flowed into my limbs and bones.

Upon witnessing this, the burly man's eyes widened, and a look of terror immediately appeared in them.

"No, not good..."

"What's wrong, Zhang Chang'er? You look so terrified killing a fish."

Those who witnessed this scene couldn't help but glance at the other person with a strange look, feeling that their behavior was somewhat odd.

"This... this fish is strange."

Zhang Chang'er looked terrified.

I don't know about anything else, but there's definitely something strange about this fish.

How could ordinary fish have such an effect from that blood? Eating a little bit of it felt like eating ginseng soup.

This fish... it's probably a demon...

Zhang Chang'er recounted his recent experience to the others.

Those who heard this were stunned, and then they followed suit, tasting the blood, and instantly felt their heads spinning.

This really does seem to be a fish demon.

But if it really is a fish demon, then aren't they doomed?

This is a demon!

The group of burly men were momentarily at a loss.

But then, a ferocious look appeared in the eyes of the leading burly man.

"Never mind, we've already used a knife. Let's just kill this cuttlefish so there's no way to prove anything. Otherwise, if we let it get away, none of us will survive!"

The burly man gritted his teeth and said.

The deed is done; there's no going back now.

It would be better to just go for the kill.

Those standing nearby thought about it and realized it made sense.

Thinking of this, they all nodded in agreement.

My son!

In the Wu River, a jet-black snakehead fish suddenly sensed something and instantly shot into the sky.

Just a moment ago, he clearly felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.

If I'm not mistaken, it must be his child who has suffered.

His son was killed while being Human Tribulation!

The Dragon King went berserk at that moment and began searching for his son.

"It's all over, it's all over! These people are crazy, daring to lay a hand on the Dragon King's son! Pingjiang City is doomed!"

At that moment, the City God of Pingjiang City was instantly enraged.

At first, he didn't sense that this blackfish was destined to Human Tribulation.

But when the blackfish was cut open and blood began to flow out, the City God sensed something was wrong. Upon closer inspection, he was terrified.

How dare they? How could anyone dare to do something so outrageous!

The City God was both shocked and furious.

Just as he was getting extremely anxious, he sensed Fang Weiyan leading his men hurriedly towards Wuyu, and his heart jumped again.

The prefect has arrived. If the prefect were to act immediately, perhaps Wuyu could still be saved.

Thinking of this, the City God couldn't help but feel anxious, hoping that Fang Weiyan could leave quickly.

Get there quickly, before the other side completely kills the cuttlefish, and save it.

At that moment, Fang Weiyan was indeed leading his men toward the place where the fish were being killed.

A fisherman just came to report to the authorities that someone had forcibly stolen his catch.

After hearing this, Fang Weiyan originally only wanted Cheng Feng to take people to bring the person back.

However, the fisherman's next remark made Fang Weiyan immediately take it seriously.

The fisherman remarked that he was exceptionally lucky that day, having caught a large, plump snakehead fish.

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan instantly shuddered.

You should know that he had just asked the City God a while ago and found out that the Dragon King under the Wu River was not a real dragon.

It is actually a cuttlefish.

Hearing the adjectives describing something as exceptionally plump and delicious immediately triggered some unpleasant associations in Fang Weiyan's mind.

They immediately led their men to the fish-killing site.

A moment later, Fang Weiyan finally saw a group of people in the distance, frantically wielding kitchen knives, preparing to completely destroy the cuttlefish on the cutting board.

Fang Weiyan's pupils contracted slightly upon seeing this scene.

"Stop!"

Fang Weiyan roared angrily.

Cheng Feng and his men immediately drew their swords and charged forward.

Several burly men turned around at the sound and were taken aback when they saw the sudden arrival of the constables.

But then, he saw the old fisherman in the crowd, and immediately understood.

The old fisherman reported it to the authorities!

Damn it!

The burly men were furious, but they didn't care about anything else and were about to kill the blackfish completely.

However, at that moment, Cheng Feng and the others drew their swords and stepped forward.

Faced with the sharp blade, the burly men dared not continue their recklessness, but could not help but shout angrily, "Kill this blackfish quickly! It's a fish demon! If we don't kill it, its elders might come looking for us, and then we'll all die!"

At most, they only stole some property; their crimes didn't warrant the death penalty.

But if we release the cuttlefish, and the elders of the other family come looking for it, we're doomed.

Thinking about it this way, they were naturally filled with fear.

"Fish demon?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan's cheek twitched slightly, and his uneasy thoughts intensified.

With snakehead fish and fish demons involved, could this be related to the Dragon King of the Wu River?

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan quickly stepped forward, carefully examined the fish demon in front of him, and couldn't help but frown.

Oh no, the cuttlefish has been completely gutted; the scene is horrific.

At this moment, the cuttlefish's mouth was still opening and closing weakly.

Fang Weiyan took out a cloth and wrapped it around the other person's abdomen.

If possible, Fang Weiyan would like to try to revive the blackfish first.

Killing them outright is the worst possible option.

But using this method, there's no way this blackfish could be saved.

Can I sew up the cuttlefish's wound with a needle?

Fang Weiyan looked at the blackfish whose mouth was opening and closing, and was on the verge of death. He felt a little anxious.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Weiyan gritted his teeth and pulled out a few hairs from his body.

This was given to him by the Emperor Kaide before, and it was used to save his life.

But now it can only be used on this cuttlefish.

After all, if this blackfish really has some connection with the Dragon King, what if the Dragon King discovers that his child died in Pingjiang City?

Then Pingjiang City will likely be destroyed.

Moreover, the Dragon King's cultivation level is too high; the City God is no match for him, and it's very likely that the Dragon King will be affected.

After all, he is the prefect. If the other party takes their anger out on him, Fang Weiyan will definitely not be able to escape.
