He moved his feet.
The long sword unsheathed in an instant, imbued with the power of Heaven's Martial Qi. It exploded with terrifying force as it swung around and cleaved down.
Suddenly ——

Then I saw a figure in red, their face obscured, split in half by a long blade.
“Oh!”
A sharp, piercing scream echoed through the air as the man in red was cleaved in two by the long blade. His body vanished like smoke.
Meanwhile.
A familiar scent, flowed along the blade and into Shen Changqing's hands.
I have looked at the template below.
The killing value, which was originally zero, has now changed to seven.
The demon just killed was the weakest he had ever encountered in his lifetime.
From the fact that the opponent only contributed seven points of killing value, it can be seen that they are simply too weak.
One sword slays demons.
The street before my eyes returned to normal in an instant.

Shen Changqing sheathed his sword and quickly walked towards the yamen.
Right now, demons are appearing in Lin'an City, and they even dare to attack me. This proves my original guess was correct.
The Eternal Alliance did not only dispatch some demons to seize demon essence blood, but also sent other demons to attack Lin'an City.
The purpose of the enemy's attack on Lin'an City.
Shen Changqing thought that there was probably a possibility of two.
First, it was for the sake of the 100,000 people of Lin'an City.
The second is to seek revenge.
>
After all, two demons died at his hands, and several more were driven away. How could the Eternal Alliance swallow this humiliation
When Shen Changqing arrived at the yamen, he found the gate closed tight, but inside, lanterns were burning brightly.
“Let the people open the gate for this official!”
Shen Changqing said in a deep voice.
>That's all.
The tightly shut door creaked open slowly.
A clerk cautiously poked his head out. When he saw Shen Changqing's face, his expression immediately relaxed as if a great burden had been lifted.
"Master is back!"
The gate has officially opened.
A crowd of yamen servants surged out from inside.
Shen Changqing strode into the yamen and looked at the many clerks gathered there, saying faintly: "Tell Shi Qingxing and Zhang Yue to come to the inner hall to see me. The rest of you stay in the yamen as much as possible and await my orders."
"Yes!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Many clerks nodded in response.
The inner hall.
Shen Changqing sat in the first place, Shi Qingsheng and Zhang Yue came together.
"Master!"
What happened in the city
As Shen Changqing spoke, he watched the expressions of the two people.
Both Shi Qingsheng and Zhang Yue had nervous expressions on their faces.
Hearing this.
Zhang Yue stepped forward and cupped his hands together: "Reporting to my lord, shortly after your departure, some abnormalities were found in the city. Some people found that no matter how they walked, they couldn't reach their destination, while others discovered that they kept circling in the same place."
I suspect there's a demon at play, so I ordered all the yamen officers to stay on standby at the yamen.
“We’ll wait for the adults to come back before making any further decisions!”
When Zhang Yue finished speaking.

Shi Qing Sheng then continued, "I wonder if you encountered anything unusual when you returned"

“This time the earth dragon flipped, it seems to have attracted a lot of demons. When this official returned, there were also demons confusing him, but they were already killed by me. But from the current situation, demons have already mixed into the city.”
And the demons mixed into the city are definitely not just one.
Immediately send me an order to close all four city gates. No one is allowed in or out without my permission.
Shen Changqing's face was slightly cold.
According to Zhang Yue's description, the number of demons and monsters in the city is definitely not a simple matter of one or two.
But.
Those demons could only simply mislead people, and their strength was also limited.
However, he couldn't be 100% certain. The demonic beings that infiltrated the city would all have weakened strength.
As Zhang Yue was about to take his orders and leave, Shen Changqing stopped him.
"Currently, the city is teeming with demons and monsters. Ordinary constables are no match for them. Therefore, all roosters in the city that have lived for three years or more must be collected."
Seeing the confusion on their faces.
Shen Changqing patiently explained, "A rooster is a yang thing. Although its blood cannot completely deal with demons, it can still have some effect.
Whenever you encounter unusual circumstances, sprinkle some rooster blood to dispel the obstacles and secure your chance of escape.
Of course, you can't try to kill demons with rooster blood; it won't do any good.
Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!
"At your command!"
Zhang Yue bowed solemnly, then turned and left.
Immediately.
Shen Changqing's gaze fell on Shi Qingsheng, wanting to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he shook his head.
"You have nothing left to explain. Just live well!"
What can a scholar with no strength be capable of
Although some great scholars can subdue demons and evil spirits with their righteous indignation, Shi Qingsheng obviously can't achieve that level.
The last time demons attacked the yamen, the other party managed to survive.
This time.
Then, it just depends on Shi Qingsheng's luck.
Upon hearing this.
Shi Qing-sheng smiled wryly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency. I know what to do!"
One knows their own affairs best.
When faced with demons, he'd rather not make things worse.
A few tens of minutes.
Zhang Yue collected quite a number of roosters and, following Shen Changqing's instructions, slaughtered them to collect their blood. All the blood was put into individual bottles, with each yamen servant carrying eight or ten chicken blood bottles on their person.
Outside the government office.
A large number of government officials gathered there, each holding a torch in their hand. Some looked fearful, but others had resolute expressions.
Last time the yamen was attacked, some yamen guards died, so Shen Changqing had people recruit many more yamen guards.
Up to the present.
More than forty clerks now work in the yamen.
Shen Changqing stood before everyone, his face solemn: "There are some things I won't say much about. I'll just say this, the imperial grain you eat and the salaries you receive are the taxpayers' money."
In your daily lives, the people provide for you out of a sense of duty. However, when danger arises, it is your obligation to stand at the forefront and protect the peace and safety of the common folk. This too, is a duty that you must fulfill.
Only Shen Changqing's voice echoed in the outer hall.
“As demons are now attacking Lin'an City, I need you to do a few things. First, immediately seal off all four city gates and prevent anyone from entering or leaving.”
"Secondly, you need to patrol the city and inspect the situation everywhere. If you find anything unusual, report it immediately, and I will personally deal with the demons."
As for the use of chicken blood in the bottle, this officer has already given it to you. Each person has limited resources and must use them only when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, once they are depleted, the consequences will be dire. I believe there is no need to elaborate further!
That's it.
Zhang Yue clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, my lord. Even if I sacrifice my life to fight the demons who threaten Lin'an, I will not take a single step back!"
"Alright, let's go!"
>
With a wave of his hand, Shen Changqing dismissed Zhang Yue and all the yamen servants.
Suddenly.
The government office seemed much more spacious.
"Master, are you confident in dealing with those demons" Shi Qing Sheng standing beside him, although his expression was calm, there was an undeniable fear in his eyes.
He is just an ordinary person.
Facing demons and evils that far exceed the scope of ordinary people, one would instinctively feel fear.
"Grasp"
Shen Changqing shook his head and sneered: "Facing demons, who dares to say they have a 100% chance of success But rest assured, this official is the magistrate of Lin'an City. He will certainly not watch Lin'an City fall into the hands of demons."
Unless it's truly impossible!
Then, he silently added another sentence in his heart.
Then, he soothed Shi Qingsheng.
>
Shen Changqing paused for a moment, then asked: "Are there any powerful weapons in the yamen My official sword has been corroded by blood from slaying demons and is not very convenient to use."
"What's a powerful weapon"
Shi Qing Sheng was stunned, then fell into deep thought.
... for a moment.
He thought of something.
Speaking of which, when the Zhao family's house was raided last time, some weapons were found, but they haven't been sold yet, so they're all piled up in the yamen's warehouse. My lord can come with me to take a look.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Alright, lead the way!"
Following Shi Qingsheng closely, the two arrived quickly at the yamen's granary.
There were boxes piled up everywhere, all sealed with tape.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
There were also several weapon racks placed there.
He pointed at the weapon rack.
>
Shi Qingsheng said, "My lord, this is all the weaponry currently in the arsenal. Please take a look."
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing walked near the shelf and casually picked up a long sword. It felt neither light nor heavy in his hand. When he drew the sword, its blade looked somewhat white.
A flick of the finger.
The crisp and pleasant sound of the blade's song rang out.

The blade vibrated violently, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
Seeing this, Shen Changqing could only shake his head helplessly.
The long sword was returned to its sheath and placed back in its rightful position. He then turned his attention to other weapons.
one minute.
The two left the warehouse.
>
There were quite a few weapons on display, but they were all just for show. They looked impressive, but they weren't actually functional.
Shen Changqing used all his might, afraid that he would break the weapons.
The weapons equipped by the Demon Suppression Division are several ranks higher than ours.
Even though the sword is now corroded by demon blood, it's still far more useful than those other weapons.
Go back to the inner hall.
Shen Changqing sat alone there, a basin of water by his side. The saber at his waist was unknown when it had been removed, the scabbard placed beside him.
>
One hand held a damp cloth, the other gripped a long blade, as if wiping away corrosion from its surface.
At every important juncture.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He always needs to do something to soothe his inner turmoil.
Sharpen the knife.
>
... is one method.
Water wiped across the blade, unable to wash away the traces of corrosion. But it did allow Shen Changqing's heart to gradually calm down.
After a long time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He stopped what he was doing.
The rag discarded in the basin, the pitted blade also seemed to brighten a few points.
Now, only you can help me a little!
Looking at the long sword, Shen Changqing had a slight smile on his face. Under the candlelight, however, it seemed rather cold and stern.
The long sword has been opened.
Tonight is destined to be a bloody one.
Shi Qingsheng had already been sent back to rest. Right now, in Lin'an City, the only one who could fight demons was himself.
