Chapter 1388 - 621: Interception (Part 2)

The An Family Head frowned.

Where did this guy come from, daring to oppose me like this? Could it be a mad dog sent by other families?

"Go get the Third Elder... No, go get the Eldest Young Master."

"Yes!"

...

"Kill! Finish one, move to the next!"

"Wow! If only you had seen it, that mysterious swordsman, swish swish swish swish with his sword. Known as the Martial Forge’s Thousand Gold Hammer, Yang Jinchui, the great blacksmith with a hammer worth a thousand gold! In an instant, the head falls! Guess what? Blood Mist! Yang Jinchui’s corpse exploded into a massive Blood Mist, he was also... a demon!"

Listening to the guy on stage, speaking energetically like a storyteller, Jinfang Zai’s expression turned dark as water.

As a Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld, within his jurisdiction, even if he didn’t want to handle it, even if he had more important things at hand, he had to step in to deal with it.

"...Within a few breaths, this Demon Slayer Hero had already sliced Yang Jinchui’s demonic body in two, the corpse is still hanging in the Martial Forge!"

"But the Demon Slayer Hero was not satisfied with this, after killing the demon, he left with two injured companions!"

"Trust me, it won’t be long before we hear about the Demon Slayer Hero slaying another demon!"

The storyteller on stage continues, as the atmosphere rises, the people below immediately cheer.

"Good! Demon Slayer Hero, our role model!"

"One sword to slay the demon, how graceful! We practice martial arts, isn’t this our goal?"

"Slaying demons in the city to protect the people! This is chivalry, this is truly removing harm for the people! Caring for the citizens, caring for all living beings!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, who would’ve thought Thousand Gold Hammer was a demon, I was still saving Silver Tael, hoping to have him forge me a fine weapon."

"Still thinking about weapon crafting, it’s good he didn’t eat you alive! Who knows how many people were eaten by that fellow! No wonder people occasionally disappeared from the Martial Forge, it must have been all eaten by the demon Yang Jinchui!"

"By the way, does anyone know who the Demon Slayer Hero is? So formidable! Suddenly appearing, suddenly slaying demons, one after another, almost flushing out all the hidden demons in the city! If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t know so many demons were hiding in the city, truly frightening!"

Amid a whispering conversation, a crisp sound of footsteps came from outside, stopping in front of Jinfang Zai.

"Why move everyone away? There were already too few people for the investigation, now you move them, with whom can we find the murderer of my master!"

It was Xing Xueman.

The two Hall Masters of Foolish Underworld gathering together, the people in this teahouse without insight, otherwise it would cause huge waves.

Nonetheless, the hottest topic at hand remains the Demon Slayer Hero, ’helping others for pleasure.’

Looking up at Xing Xueman, Jinfang Zai calmly said, "The Lord of Mansion has ordered me to find that Demon Slayer Hero."

"Why look for him? Just killed a few demons, see how capable he is, news of him is everywhere."

Xing Xueman snorted as she sat down.

The past few days she’s been investigating the murderer and has made no progress, a fire pressure on her heart.

Jinfang Zai took a sip of tea, saying: "Killing a few demons isn’t much. But pinpointing and precisely slaying demons lurking within the city, clearly, either this person has something special that sees through demon disguises, or his background isn’t simple, possibly a master raised by a major family, defecting with family intelligence to cause trouble."

"The former, we Foolish Underworld must recruit. The latter, we Foolish Underworld must capture. To relieve the Ten Major Families of their worries."

After Jinfang Zai finished speaking, Xing Xueman fell silent.

Foolish Underworld, to outsiders, seems glorious, domineering, but they themselves know. They are but a dog nurtured by the Ten Major Families.

"He’s courting death."

Xing Xueman abruptly said, making Jinfang Zai pause.

"Who?"

"Who else, the Demon Slayer Hero."

Xing Xueman mocked.

"Indeed, if he defected with intelligence, he should be discreet enough, find a way to escape the city... Wait! I got it!"

Jinfang Zai suddenly stood up and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Xing Xueman asked in shock.

"To the city gate! This is the Demon Slayer Hero’s strategy to divert us! His ultimate aim is to escape Thunder City! His current high-profile actions are all to draw us and others over!"

Xing Xueman nodded, seemingly logical.

However, she was reluctant to move, besides finding the true murderer of Shen Chenshui, she had no interest in anyone else, or anything else for now.

Yet Xing Xueman may not be interested, but the matter found her!

"Guess what? The Demon Slayer Hero seems to have also sought me out!"

Xing Xueman suddenly felt something, sharply looking up at the storyteller on stage.

Zzz!

Only to see a white afterimage at lightning speed, crossing with the storyteller!

At the scene, the storyteller’s body was ripped into two halves!

"What?!"

Xing Xueman’s face changed, standing up swiftly.

Bang!!

The next moment.

The storyteller’s body, mid-air, exploded into Blood Mist!

The storyteller speaking energetically on stage was also a demon!

Xing Xueman eyes widened, she hadn’t detected any demonic tendencies in the storyteller, who would’ve thought...

"Ahhhh! There’s a demon!!"

"Don’t be afraid! Don’t be afraid! It was the Demon Slayer Hero who killed it!"

"Demon Slayer Hero! Demon Slayer Hero!"

"Demon Slayer Hero, let me help you!"

Unlike usual encounters with demons, where people scatter in panic, when the white figure fought the demon, people below didn’t only cheer but also rushed up to help fight the demon!

This unruly crowd, such a united scene, Xing Xueman had never witnessed before.

"Not bad skill."

Others might only see the white figure battling the demon, but she could see most of the combat details, squinting, assessing both sides’ strengths, Xing Xueman quickly concluded.

A bit of skill, but not as strong as me.

"Bold scoundrel! Dare to make trouble on my Foolish Underworld’s turf! Surrender now!"

With a shout, Xing Xueman charged into the battle!

"It’s her! Hundred Flowers Hall’s Hall Master, Lady Xing Xueman!"

"Wait! Lady Xing Xueman isn’t going for the demon, she’s going for the Demon Slayer Hero!"

"What?! Could it be Lady Xing Xueman and the demon are in cahoots? Is Foolish Underworld colluding with demons??"

On-site, public opinion erupted with shocking assertions, but Xing Xueman didn’t care, catch the person first!

This person hindered my steps in finding the real murderer of my master!

Xing Xueman attacked swiftly, her swordsmanship fierce.

But quickly, she realized, that person’s skill was constantly improving in their brief encounter! Even in the defense and attack gaps, they took the time to decapitate the fleeing demon!

Throwing the demon’s head over, that person broke through the roof, attempting escape!

"Where are you going!"

Xing Xueman shouted, throwing down the demon’s head, pursued! Leaving the crowd stunned.

"Another, another demon! Demon Slayer Hero, slain another demon!"

"No doubt the Demon Slayer Hero! One after another, almost exterminating all demons in Thunder City!"

"Crazy! Crazy! Turns out Thunder City harbors so many demons! Who’s to say there aren’t demons hidden in this teahouse right now!"

"What’s the Hundred Flowers Hall’s Hall Master pursuing the Demon Slayer Hero for? Demon Slayer Hero is removing harm for the people! What does Foolish Underworld want to do?"
