The longevity of the heavens begins with Mingyu Gong

Chapter 826 Bat Demon
Li Gongfu left Song Xing's residence. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still believed Song Xing's words for the time being and hurried towards the Yamen.

When he arrived at the yamen, he informed the county magistrate that he was worried that the murderer would come out to kill people again, so he took three squads of yamen servants and headed towards the Xuanwu Temple.

After such a torment, the sun has completely set and the moon hangs high in the night sky.

The group of people held torches and rushed by the moonlight, and soon arrived outside the Xuanwu Temple.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was so dark that it seemed like it was about to collapse.

The trees and grass in the distance were all obscured by black clouds, and the entire Xuanwu Temple was even more eerie, as if there were ghosts crying and howling.

Li Gongfu stood in front of the Xuanwu Temple and looked up, but he could only faintly see the lights in the Xuanwu Temple, which vaguely illuminated the vague outline of a statue.

A chill suddenly arose in his heart, and goosebumps all over his body.

However, Li Gongfu still had the courage to walk into the Xuanwu Temple. When he looked around, he was stunned.

In the originally dark Xuanwu Temple, suddenly there was a corpse, lying on the ground in a mess, with blood flowing all over the stone steps in the Xuanwu Temple.

Li Gongfu was frightened when he saw this. He quickly took a few steps back and asked the government servant next to him: "What's going on?"

These government officials were also shocked by the tragic scene in front of them, and they shook their heads: "The villain... doesn't know either!"

Under the firelight, everyone recognized that they were the two government officials who had previously stayed at Xuanwu Temple to guard the scene. Seeing this situation, they were afraid that they had been poisoned again.

"How brave you are, how dare you commit crimes continuously!" an old government servant next to Li Gongfu shouted timidly.

"Everyone, get together and enter the temple!" Li Gongfu calmed down, reached for the torch in the hand of a government servant behind him, and walked towards the Xuanwu Temple at the lead.

Although he was also frightened in his heart, he couldn't let a mere corpse scare him away before he saw the monster.

His duty as a head catcher also prevented him from just turning around and leaving.

What's more, according to what Song Xing said, if the murderer is really not human, then such a tragedy is bound to happen again in Qiantang County in the coming days.

Seeing Li Gongfu entering the temple, several government officials who had a good relationship with him looked at each other and followed him closely.

With someone taking the lead, the rest of the group also shouted and boldly walked towards the temple.

As soon as they entered the temple gate, the pungent smell of blood spread into everyone's noses, causing them to sneeze a few times.

The Xuanwu Temple occupies a small area, only more than ten meters long and wide. From the outside, it does not seem unusual.

There is a statue of a god enshrined in the temple. In front of the statue, incense burners, candles and other worship supplies are placed.

"Everyone, spread out and search, don't let the murderer escape in the chaos!"

Li Gongfu waved his hand to everyone to look for clues, while he walked towards the statue and examined it carefully.

Xuanwu Temple was built in the late years of the previous dynasty. It has a long history and a magnificent hall. The shrines are carved with various statues of gods, which are lifelike and like living creatures.

Li Gongfu looked around, and at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew by.

He suddenly felt a chill on the top of his head and subconsciously looked up.

At this sight, he was completely dumbfounded, and his pupils shrank into needles.

By the light of the torch, a blurry human body can be seen suspended in the air. Judging from the clothing, it is clearly another missing government servant.

At this time, more and more torches lit up from behind Li Gongfu, illuminating the main hall as bright as day. Li Gongfu could also see clearly that the dead yamen servant was suspended in the air. He was clearly hung upside down on the beam by two huge handles. above.

Looking up from the two dark claws, the first thing Li Gongfu saw was a pair of huge bright pupils and a furry animal face.This huge beast's face is covered with ferocious fangs, and its scarlet tongue sticks out of the corner of its mouth, dripping with sticky saliva.

It has slender forelimbs, with thin, hairless wing membranes between the fingers and between the forelimbs and hindlimbs. The huge animal head looks like a rat head magnified hundreds of times.

This is a huge bat with an exaggerated size!

Li Gongfu's heart was pounding, his forehead was sweating, and his whole body was stiff.

Because he suddenly saw that what this terrifying strange face was chewing in its mouth was the corpse of the missing government servant just now.

Song Xing was right, the person who caused this horrific tragedy was really not a human being, but this terrifying looking bat monster!

"Help! Help!"

Suddenly, someone screamed, breaking the silence. Li Gongfu immediately heard a burst of panicked footsteps, and many people began to run out of the hall.

"Shut up, don't scream!" Li Gongfu growled and immediately chased after him. However, he saw that the other government officials were also pale and panicked, and they rushed out.

A group of people ran out in a hurry. Li Gongfu thought about it, gritted his teeth, and followed them.

After leaving the Xuanwu Temple, Li Gongfu looked up to the sky and found that the moon was hanging in the night, half of his face was revealed. The moonlight was bright and shining with silver light.

And those government officials had long since disappeared without a trace.

Li Gongfu looked around and found that at some point, the terrifying bat beast had chased him out. Apparently he was disturbed by their actions just now.

The bat monster screamed wildly, its speed increased suddenly, and in an instant it was in front of Li Gongfu. It opened its big mouth, and its sharp fangs flashed with light, as if it was going to tear Li Gongfu into pieces in the next second.

"Beast, die!" Li Gongfu roared angrily, holding the long knife tightly with both hands, and hit the bat beast's head hard.

boom!
With a muffled sound, the long knife struck the bat beast's head, as if it was struck on hard steel, and was directly rebounded.

Li Gongfu's body suddenly stagnated, and then he flew out like a kite with a broken string, fell to the ground, and began to vomit blood in his mouth.

"Is this sorcery?" Li Gongfu's eyes widened and he stared at the bat beast.

At that moment, he didn't even see clearly how the bat monster moved.

The bat beast looked down at Gongfu Li from a high position, its mouth slightly cracked, revealing a row of cold and sharp fangs.

Li Gongfu stood up with force, wiped the blood from his lips, and snorted: "Do you think I'm afraid of you, a beast like you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Gongfu jumped up suddenly, rushed towards the bat beast with his knife, and struck out with the knife. His power exploded to the extreme, like a landslide and a tsunami.

Li Gongfu has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his physical fitness is very strong. This attack is extremely powerful.

However, just when the sword was about to strike the bat beast, the bat beast's wings flapped slightly, and its body instantly flew into the air, avoiding Li Gongfu's killing blow.

Immediately afterwards, the bat beast's wings flapped again, and the black smoke billowing from its body turned into a rich and sinister aura.

Li Gongfu had no time to escape, and his whole person was shrouded in black mist.

"Oops!"

Li Gongfu's expression changed drastically, and he felt that his body was gradually becoming paralyzed, as if he had been frozen, and even his breathing was about to stop.

Li Gongfu struggled hard, but his body became weaker and weaker, and finally he collapsed to the ground, his heart full of despair.

It turns out that in front of monsters, even if I have practiced martial arts for many years, I am just like an ordinary person and have no power to resist?
Just when Li Gongfu closed his eyes and waited for death, he suddenly felt a heat in his arms, and then the stone cat that had been hidden in his arms and given by Song Xing suddenly bloomed with thousands of golden lights!
