Chapter 52: Intimidation

affairs were not done by our Eternal Life Alliance.To be honest, if the Zhou family hadn't been wiped out, we wouldn't have acted this quickly.That's all you need to hear.Shen Changqing immediately ha...His hatred burned with great intensity.

If it weren't for the fact that I had suffered serious injuries beforehand and hadn't fully recovered, what qualifications would a warrior who wasn't even at the Outer Gang Realm have to make me suffer

Hate be hate!

But he also understands something.

Facing Shen Changqing, the strength he possessed was formidable. Even though he hadn't reached the outer Gang realm, in terms of true power, he wasn't much weaker than a warrior at the outer Gang realm.

>

The battle has raged until now.

Wen Rong saw no chance of winning.

“Do you think you’re hiding very well Actually, the Demonic Suppression Agency has noticed this place long ago. Now, several Xuanjie demon exorcists are surrounding the Zhang family from all sides. This official guarantees that not a single demon will escape!”

Shen Changqing's offensive remained relentless, while he sneered with threats.

Upon hearing this.

Wen Rong sneered: "A few Xuanjie demon hunters, you're really spouting nonsense. Can the Demon Suppression Division even spare a few Xuanjie demon hunters to waste time in a small place like Lin'an City"

As for what Shen Changqing said, he didn't believe a single word.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As the leader of the Eternal Alliance's outpost in Lin'an City, I have some understanding of the current situation of the Demon Suppression Office.

The Town Demon Division is indeed powerful.

Now, the power of all local Demon Suppression Offices is being greatly restrained by demonic fiends.

There once was a city named Lin'an.

>

It's already surprising to have a Xuan-rank demon slayer come.

Several Xuanjie demon hunters.

That's impossible.

Here's the translation:>Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“A Lin'an City naturally wouldn’t warrant the dispatch of several Xuan-tier demon hunters from the Demon Suppression Division. However, a base of the Eternal Alliance, and the imminent birth of a powerful demonic blood essence, would certainly attract the attention of the Demon Suppression Division.”

Abandoning your humanity, you are beyond saving today!

Shen Changqing continued to threaten, the Seven Kills sword technique was brought to the extreme, every slash carried a chilling killing intent, making people feel a chill down their spine.

Seven Killing Sword Technique.

> To end killing with killing, to sustain warfare through warfare!

This is a martial art focused primarily on killing.

After a year of arduous training at the Demon Suppression Division, he had only managed to barely step into the second level. However, after arriving in Lin'an City and engaging in several battles, the Seven Kills Sword Technique had gradually undergone a transformation.

Shen Changqing felt.

This sword technique is about to break through the third layer.

>

“I don't believe it!”

Wen Rong dodged the long blade's attack. Although he didn't believe Shen Changqing's words, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

What if it's true!

Indeed.

The Demonic Suppression Division doesn't have much power left now, but the Eternal Life Alliance is like a cancer to humanity in their eyes. Whenever there's an incident involving the Eternal Life Alliance's strongholds, the Demonic Suppression Division always goes all out to besiege and eliminate them.

For a small outpost like Lin'an City, dispatching several Xuan-rank demon hunters would still hold a slim possibility, even if it was unlikely.

In addition, Shen Changqing's formidable strength put immense pressure on Wen Rong.

> It goes back and forth.

He suddenly felt a pang of fear in his heart.

The warrior fought to the death.

What is needed is an indomitable spirit.

If one party feels fear, their chances of winning will greatly decrease.

Noticing Wen Rong's offensive slackening, Shen Changqing smiled in his heart. The attacks of the Qisha Dao technique became even more fierce.

"Demon, die!"

With a roar of anger, Tianwu's inner energy surged outwards. A powerful blade aura shot out from the length of his sword, hurtling towards Wen Rong at an incredibly fast speed.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In an instant.

Wen Rong felt a faint stinging sensation all over his body. The power of the sword energy was far beyond his ability to withstand.

Suddenly.

He dodged to the right, and the blade energy slashed directly into empty space, shattering tables, chairs, and benches into splinters. The main support beams of the hall left deep, black scorch marks, causing the entire room to tremble violently.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The power of this strike caused Wen Rong's expression to change drastically.

Before he could react, Shen Changqing took a step forward, striking Wen Rongyin with an iron sand palm with his left hand.

Wen Rong, seeing this, had already nowhere to dodge and could only strike out with the same palm.

Their palms met, unleashing a torrent of true energy. Shen Changqing was jolted back two steps, while Wen Rong's pre-existing injuries flared up, causing him to cough out black blood as he was sent flying through the air.

"Kill!"

Shen Changqing's face was grim, his Tianwu True Qi forcefully suppressing the boiling blood within him. His hand, gripping the long knife, bulged with veins as the blade flashed, like a silver serpent striking, and he immediately slashed down at Wen Rong with the force of splitting Mount Hua.

Whoosh!!

The moment Wen Rong landed, he instinctively raised his hand to block. A limb covered in scales fell to the ground with a thud.

The intense pain contorted his face.

With a glare at Shen Changqing, she fled outside without hesitation.

A limb was severed.

After harvesting a wave of killing points, Shen Changqing immediately chased after Wen Rong.

If a demon born with an innate magical power were allowed to escape, it would undoubtedly cause a great deal of trouble.

Zhangjia's outside.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The forces of the five parties are still holding their positions.

Now.

Everyone felt a powerful, evil force approaching at a terrifying speed.

"Stop him!"

Shen Changqing roared angrily.

Wen Rong just arrived at the Zhang family's doorstep and saw the crowd gathered in front of the mansion. Thinking back to what Shen Changqing had said earlier, he was startled and didn't have time to think further before changing direction and running away.

However—

Just as he changed direction, a flash of sword energy caught his eye.

Poof!

The long knife plunged into flesh, Wen Rong was directly chopped and flew out horizontally, black blood splattering.

Even before his body had fully landed, Shen Changqing charged forward with a step. His long sword slashed down, severing the head which rolled across the ground for a few times before falling still.

Thus far.

The body of Wen Rong, finally landing, kicked up some dust.

Because Wen Rong had just rushed to the front of the gate, Zhang's gate was broken, and everyone could see the scene in the courtyard.

One person fell to the ground, their head rolling away a long distance.

One man stood with a sword, murderous intent surging from him.

The scene seemed to freeze.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The scene was deathly silent.

>

The intense fighting within the Zhang family's compound, they could actually feel it, but because of the distance, the sensation wasn't very strong.

...Just then, Wen Rong rushed out.

That sinister aura gave everyone a bone-chilling feeling.

Innate

Or is it nearly innate

No one can say for sure how many.

Because the breath came quickly, but dissipated quickly, in less than a breath, it was killed by Shen Changqing who was chasing after it.

Taking a glance at the long sword, Shen Changqing let out a sigh.

Killing Wen Rong had left the blade, which was already badly corroded, in a state almost like scrap metal.

The long sword returned to its sheath.

He hasn't discarded his long sword for the time being.

Although the sword looked like it was broken, it wasn't completely unusable. Now that he had thrown away his long sword, he didn't have any other decent weapon at his disposal.

“Zhang Yue!”

Please note that the original text was empty within the tags.

"At your service!"

Standing outside Zhang's Mansion, Zhang Yue stared for a long time before he quickly came to his senses and leaped over the threshold of Zhang's Mansion to stand before Shen Changqing.

"May I ask what your command is, sir"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Search every inch of Zhang's household thoroughly. Bring back anything valuable to the magistrate's office. However, under no circumstances should you enter the main hall of the Zhang family. Otherwise, do not blame me if something happens to you."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing ordered.

Zhang Yue bowed and said, "Your servant obeys!"

Then, he called in other yamen officers and began to ransack the Zhang family's home.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing walked outside and looked at Cui Cheng and the others, cupping his hands: "It is confirmed that Zhang's family is a stronghold of the Eternal Alliance. Thanks to all of you besieging Zhang's family, the demon was nowhere to escape and was finally beheaded by this officer here."

This matter is a good thing for the people of Lin'an City.

"On behalf of the common people, I extend my gratitude to you all!"

"Lord Shen, you flatter me!"

Everyone hurriedly returned the greeting.

They did not face Wen Rong directly, but the sinister aura that had just surged out was already bone-chillingly cold.

Therefore, it can be seen.

How powerful was the slain demon

Even so.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The other party was also killed by Shen Changqing's sword.

Even with prior estimations, seeing this scene unfold in reality still inevitably leaves one feeling astonished.

Even.

They all believed that if Shen Changqing swung his long sword at them, none of them would survive.

Shen Changqing said: "Matters here have been settled. The rest can be handled by this official. Everyone, please return first."

"Shen, I'm leaving!"

"Farewell!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Cheng and the others stopped talking and bowed to bid farewell.

Very soon.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The members of the five factions left quickly and cleanly.

Those commoners who had been watching from afar, all scattered and fled the moment Wen Rong appeared.

Until now.

Only after everything calmed down did they dare to slowly gather back.

“That was a demon just now!”

"I didn't expect the Zhang family to actually collude with demons. Fortunately, Lord Shen has sharp eyes and eradicated the demons from the Zhang family as soon as he took office. Otherwise, we would have suffered again."

"Yes, yes—"

A great many people discussed the matter in hushed tones, but they dared not approach it easily.

In their eyes, demons are synonymous with fear. Once tainted, just wait to die.

First, the Zhao family colluded with demons, and now the Zhang family is also colluding with demons.

These people felt surrounded by a profound sense of malice directed at them.

Shen Changqing looked at the crowd of people, his face solemn: "The demons from the Zhang family have been dealt with by this official. Everyone, please disperse now. A detailed notice will be posted at the yamen tomorrow."

"Thank you, Lord Shen!"

"With Lord Shen here, how dare demons and monsters disrupt Lin'an City!"

Those commoners all wore relieved smiles on their faces. Some bowed deeply, while others repeatedly cupped their hands in greeting before scattering away.

Since the magistrate has spoken, and tomorrow the notice will be posted at the yamen, then they have no need to gather here.

And looking at the Zhang family's appearance.

It's probably going to end up being a massacre.

After all the people had dispersed, Shen Changqing turned and walked into Zhang's house.

Please note that I only translated the content within the > tags and kept the HTML tags as they are.

Wen Rong is dead. Although a congenital demon cultivator is powerful, they are still beheaded and have no way out.

Engage with the opponent.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

Shen Changqing could basically confirm that Wen Rong at his peak was definitely a powerful figure at the Innate External Qi Realm, but now with his injuries not healed, his strength was at most slightly stronger than an ordinary Internal Qi practitioner.

But.

Even if the other party were truly at their peak, he would not be afraid.

Moreover.

Facing the already revealed outcome, it's unnecessary to overthink possibilities.
