Chapter One Hundred and Eleven: Demon Calamity, It's Ti
angqing drove the distractions from his mind."If used reasonably, over fifty points can enhance strength to a limited extent. Whether it can break through the master level remains unknown."The Heavenl...Demons attacked the government office.
For ordinary clerks, this was a disaster of epic proportions.
It is now.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A blood-soaked Liu Jian rushed into the study, seeing Nie Xu who was still calmly writing there. He immediately shouted.
“My lord, it’s terrible! Demons have stormed the government office and killed many people already. My lord, please flee quickly!”
For a headman to be so flustered, it is truly embarrassing!
Nie Xu looked up at him for a moment, then turned his gaze away.
>
The other party's calmness seemed to soothe the turmoil within Liu Jian's heart.
“Master—”
Looking at Nie Xu's calm demeanor, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
When will there be time and mood to write here again.
Even if the opponent is just an ordinary person, facing demons they are almost certain to die. But that doesn't mean you should just wait for death!
Thinking about this.
Liu Jian was just about to rush over and pull Nie Xu to escape.
“Quiet!”
Nie Xu let out a loud roar, like a deafening gong, causing Liu Jian's body to stiffen in place.
Suddenly.
His voice softened a little more.
“Liu the constable need not panic, this official is the magistrate of Jin City. How could I possibly be afraid and run away You are badly injured now, so rest for a while.”
"My lord, as long as the green mountains remain, we'll never run out of firewood. It's best we retreat first."
Liu Jian swallowed nervously, his voice still anxious.
Hearing this.
Nie Xu smiled faintly, his hand still writing with a pen.
“Now that demons are determined to wreak havoc on my Jin City, even if I withdraw, where can I possibly go!”
As they were talking.
After finishing an article, he took out another sheet of white paper and started writing poetry on it.
Ten years of honing one's sword!
The frost has not yet been tested!
As Nie Xu composed his poem, he calmly spoke.
“For over three hundred years, the Qin Dynasty has stood strong, but demons have plagued the land ever since. I once dreamed of becoming a wandering swordsman, traveling the world, wielding my blade to eradicate all demons and injustices.”
Here today to show you!
Another line of poetry was written.
Now.
Outside, a strong wind whipped up, a sinister chill sweeping in from all directions, sending shivers down Liu Jian's spine.
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that! Just paste it in and I'll do my best.
In his eyes, Nie Xu now seemed different from how he used to be.
As if the other person had a warm aura emanating from them, it countered that cold chill, causing Liu Jian to unconsciously move closer to Nie Xu by a few steps.
> “Only later did I realize that the power of one person is insufficient to rectify all the injustices in the world, nor can they eradicate all demons and evil. That's why I resolved to take the imperial examinations, become an official, and use my abilities to benefit the people.”
“Now that demons and evildoers dare to disrupt my Jin City, I shall make them understand.”
"With this official here——when would demons be allowed to run rampant!"
And then, he spoke.
On the blank sheet of paper, the last line of poetry was also written.
Who's complaining!
Suddenly.
On the white paper, a faint blue light seemed to flicker. Nie Xu's entire demeanor also changed drastically.
A hideous demon, with a rotting face and bloodstained body, had already walked in from outside.
for a moment.

A cold wind swept through the study, extinguishing the oil lamp on the desk in an instant.
However.
The oil lamp went out, but the room was not plunged into darkness.
Let me know if you have other text snippets you'd like translated!
Only the white paper on the desk was gleaming more and more brightly, giving off a warm and gentle feeling.
Today, Liu Jian's face is full of shock.
The current situation was completely beyond his expectations.
Given his understanding of Nie Xu, the other party was clearly just a Confucian scholar. When did he ever conceal such skill
Just as Liu Jian was shocked, Nie Xu looked at the demon in front of him. His calm eyes became sharp.
"Demons and evil spirits are rampant, they should be slain!"
Magnificent righteousness!
The sound was as loud as a gong!
Only seeing Nie Xu wield his brush with great strokes, the characters on the paper in front of him emitted a strong light. Finally, all the light converged into one, forming a gigantic slashing character.
In that moment.
The air in the study crackled with sword energy.
“Slash!”
Nie Xu roared coldly, the word "斬" instantly transforming into a divine blade unsheathed from its scabbard, and slashed towards the demon.
The longsword passes through.
All the sinister and evil energies dissipated.
The demon let out a shrill scream before being cleaved in two by the sword, its spirit and form annihilated.

"Ah—"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The body, like smoke, dissipated. All the brilliance vanished. The study was plunged into darkness instantly.
Liu Jian stood stiffly on the ground, as if he hadn't come to his senses.
A long time.
Nie Xu's voice was slightly weak.

"Liu the Head Constable, could you please turn on the lamp"
"Yes—"
Liu Jian hurriedly turned back, took out his fire starter, and with the faint light of the fire starter, he found the oil lamp and lit it.
Here's the translated text:
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
The oil lamp was lit.
The study was bright again.
With the help of the light, Liu Jian saw Nie Xu sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, his usually peaceful face seeming to have taken on a hint of paleness.
"Sir, are you alright"
Liu Jian cautiously asked.
Nie Xu's senses were now completely different.
Such powerful radiance, and the ability to slay demons with a single strike, all demonstrate that the opponent possesses extraordinary means.
"It's fine."
Nie Xu opened his eyes and shook his head slightly.
Seeing this.
Liu Jian's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled. Then, recalling what had just happened, he couldn't help but look curious.
"May I ask, sir, what means did you just use Could it be the Qi release of a congenital expert, able to kill a demon beast with a single strike!"
"Qi outward projection"
Nie Xu chuckled dumbly and shook his head.
"That's just the righteous indignation of a scholar, it's very different from the methods of a warrior."
That's all.
He also sighed inwardly.
With a vast and righteous spirit within one's heart, any demon or monster can be vanquished.
Unfortunately.
The righteous indignation I have cultivated within myself is ultimately lacking compared to that of a great scholar. It cannot be unleashed like theirs, effortlessly vanquishing demons and evil spirits. Instead, I must patiently hone myself, gradually drawing forth that righteous indignation.
However.
Nie Xu was also very satisfied with this result.
>
Among all the scholars in the world, only a small fraction are able to cultivate a noble and righteous spirit.
But those who can slay demons and monsters with righteous fury are even rarer.
How is the situation at the government office now
Nie Xu asked,
Upon hearing this, Liu Jian's expression dimmed somewhat.
“The demonic being suddenly attacked the yamen, and many brothers died at the hands of the demon. If it weren't for my slightly stronger strength, I'm afraid I would have died too.”
“Oh!”
Nie Xu sighed.
Liu Jian's words were already what he expected.
"Sir, what should we do now"
“For now, let us not act rashly. Gather the bodies of our fallen comrades and dispose of them properly. We shall deal with them tomorrow.”
Nie Xu said calmly.
He did not let Liu Jian inform the Black Tiger Army and the Demon Suppression Division.
There may be demons attacking right now, and it's possible that other demons are still lurking outside the government office.
The barbarian attack was clearly in collusion with demons.
The demons and evils want to disrupt the city of Jin, also to create opportunities for the barbarians.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The best way to cause chaos in Jincheng is to raze the yamen to the ground. If even the county magistrate were dead, then public opinion would be impossible to suppress, and panic would naturally ensue.
Back then.
Even with the Black Tiger Army present, Jin City would descend into chaos.
So.
Nie Xu dared not gamble. He had no other options if he gambled with the demons.
It's better to keep Liu Jian inside the yamen for safety than to let him go out and die.
>Until tomorrow.
There will be Black Tiger Army men arriving later.
That's when it truly becomes time to deal with demonic affairs.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jian immediately withdrew.
His wounds were just some minor cuts and bruises, nothing too serious. As for the bloodstains, most of them came from his fallen comrades.
> After Liu Jian left.
Nie Xu took a deep breath and started writing poems again in his study.
Noble righteousness
is equivalent to a spiritual attack.
Once released, the psychological toll on him was immense.
Now, to use those methods again, one would need to cultivate that boundless righteous energy that has been completely exhausted.
Read the writings of saints.
Write poems of great Confucian scholars.
There is no doubt that cultivating noble righteousness is the best way.
Outside the government office.
It is still pitch black.
On the roof of a certain building, the man in black merged seamlessly with the surrounding darkness. His emerald green eyes stared coldly down at the yamen below.
To be precise, it was looking towards the study.
At the very moment when the demons fell, he sensed a surge of immense power welling up.
That kind of power.
It is completely opposed to the sinister aura of demons and evil spirits.
>
"Magnificent righteousness!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The man in black spoke a few words, his expression growing grave.
“Unexpectedly, such a small county magistrate from Jin City actually possesses rare righteousness. Moreover, relying on this righteousness, he instantly killed a ghost monster at the late stage of the Nether Realm. His methods are truly terrifyingly powerful.”
This person is definitely not ordinary, perhaps even qualified to be among the top scholars!
The more one immerses oneself in the classics of sages, the greater their righteous and noble spirit becomes.
The same principle applies.
The higher the official rank, the more it reflects the person's moral integrity. While not absolute, this is rarely wrong.
According to sources.
Nie Xu was just a juren.
There are many scholars throughout the world, but those who can cultivate a noble and righteous spirit are few and far between.
However.
Let alone ordinary people, even talented scholars might not be able to directly slay a late-stage Specter monster with their righteous indignation.
Therefore, the Black Robes suspected that the other party was more than just what they appeared to be, and even possibly reached the level of a scholar.
This is the translation of what's inside the tags:

That level.
Even a grudge-bearing ghost could be slain with one strike.
Before ascertaining Nie Xu's true capabilities, the man in black is unwilling to risk advancing.
"Nie Xu's strength isn't weak. If I were a true warrior, I wouldn't fear his righteous energy. But now, using the power of demons, I'm not a true warrior. His righteous energy has a significant effect on me."

It seems like — we'll have to get the Everlasting Alliance to do it!
The Eternal Alliance also has powerful individuals in Jin City, with the Red-Cloaked being the strongest among them.
Based on the opponent's strength.
Even if he were a truly virtuous scholar who had passed the imperial examinations with flying colors, he would still have the absolute power to kill him.
Even a tiny spark of resistance is impossible.
The man in black glanced deeply at the yamen's study twice and left directly.
