I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 70: Angrily scolding the Demon Slayer Division

Under the ground, countless tiny vines surged out and wrapped crazily around Cao An's calves, trying to tear his pants to pieces and inject poison into his body.

When encountering this kind of attack, it would be difficult to defeat these densely packed goblins simply by relying on weapons.

The best way is of course for high-level warriors to use their energy to disperse them.

And low-level warriors, like Cao An, can only use special talents.

Coincidentally, Cao An had just learned a move [Burning Leg Hair]. This skill, which was once not favored by Cao An, had a miraculous effect at this moment.

A piece of leg hair can ignite a wisp of flame. The intensity is not very high, and it can probably ignite a pile of firewood.

But the hair on his legs was burning at the same time, and the power was quite impressive.

Everything below the knees was activated, and the flames spurted violently. The flames were half a foot high. Although they were not as terrifying as tinder, they still burned out all the clinging vines, and the crisis was instantly resolved.

Of course, although the flames would not affect Cao An himself, his pants would definitely suffer.

All the fabric from the calf down was burned away, which made the masters who added more people in the follow-up were stunned. What kind of move was this? Look at those smooth calves, not even a single hair on them, which is quite novel.

"Concentrate on the enemy, this seems to be a big guy."

Cao An held the handle of the knife and faced the enemy in front of him. To be honest, if there weren't a group of masters behind him, he would have wanted to turn around and run away.

In the dense forest, countless vines as thick as a bowl were shuttled back and forth, whipping like steel whips and sounding like thunder.

Suddenly a long roar came, and the vines split into two parts, and the monster's body appeared.

The huge six-petal light pink stamen wraps a scarlet and enchanting ghost spider grass. The demon flowers and demon grass grow together and grow in entanglement, reaching a height of five meters.

There were sharp thorns growing on the edges of the flowers and leaves, and there were bulging sacs in the roots of the grass. It looked ferocious, like a giant wolf spider, making an ear-piercing scream, and the vines were like scythes, sweeping towards everyone crazily.

Cao An held the knife with both hands, gathered all his strength, and accumulated ten thousand waves of energy, and slashed hard on the vine with one knife.

Pfft!

The knife fell and broke the stem, and ink-colored demon blood spurted out from the crack. The demon grass shivered and retracted in pain.

Cao An was not willing to give up. He stood still with his left leg, kicked off his right foot, and his speed exploded again.

Holding the handle of the knife horizontally with both hands, the Qiu Shui knife technique is opened and closed, and the water patterns on the blade are continuous like a waterfall falling into the sea.

After slashing seven times in a row, Cao An was exhausted. Looking left and right, he saw that more than ten sections of vines had been cut down. A small area of ​​the dense forest in front of him had been cleared.

With such a result, even Pang Shi and others had to admire him with admiration.

Although Cao An's current level is still far behind that of the top masters.

But judging from only the eighth-grade warrior, Cao An's strength is undoubtedly top-notch. If it were anyone else, he would be surrounded and strangled by vines on the spot, and how could he have such a record.

"Wan Chao Jin is really strong, but it's a bit laborious." Cao An gasped, put away his sword and stood up.

After being promoted to the eighth level, his energy became a little stronger. With the "Qiu Shui Knife Technique", he still had the energy to cut several times, but he couldn't do it if he continued to fight.

Fortunately, he didn't need to take action in this battle.

As the director of the Imperial City, Pang Shi knew that he had good combat power. Coupled with the Feng family's experts in protecting the courtyard, there was no problem in killing this monster.

Of course, the strongest one is Monk Sanyang.

With his Dharma rising sharply, he stamped his right leg, and a giant sandal fell from the sky, like a mountain of rocks, pressing heavily on the monster. Seeing that the situation was not good, the monster wanted to burrow into the soil and escape, but found that the ground was as hard as steel. Sanyang had already stood with his hands together, chanting scriptures silently in his mouth, sealing off the land.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the monster was killed by everyone. The huge body collapsed, and the strange dense forest around it quickly withered.

"The six-leaf flower and the ghost spider plant grow together, forming a symbiotic monster. It is not very strong, but its sneak attacks are really hard to guard against!"

"Amitabha, it's good to be able to kill monsters, but how to detoxify them next?"

"It stands to reason that the toxins released by these herbal monsters are most effective when treated with their own juices. However, the [Six-Leaf Seven-Spider Poison] is unpredictable, and complete detoxification remains to be considered. I am afraid that the Feng family..."

The monster has been killed, but detoxification is still difficult.

Ultimately, the delay was too long. If the monster could have been discovered earlier and Dr. Zhong had been given more time to try, he would not have been so passive.

Now most of the Feng family members have reached the critical stage of poisonous gas attacking their hearts, and there is not much time left for Dr. Zhong to treat them.

Cao An looked at the monster in front of him, his thoughts were changing, and he couldn't help but asked: "Shilang Feng, you said that the Demon Slayer Division came here to investigate two days ago. Who is the leader?"

"This is the captain of the Demon Slaying Division: Ding Jie. I heard that he has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and is considered a general of the Demon Slaying Division. I didn't expect him to be so incompetent and unable to find the location of this monster.

Is it Ding Festival again?
  This guy seems to be the most indifferent person in the Demon Slayer Division. He does seem suspicious!
  He walked up to Feng Zhao, who was full of resentment, and patted this man on the shoulder: "Master Minister, I have a way to try to save your family, but the result may be that you lose your official position. Are you willing?"

"Yes!" Feng Zhao was a filial son. Hearing Cao An's words, he agreed without hesitation.

"Without the support of my parents and family, I, Feng Zhao, would not be what I am today. As long as I can save my people, what if I take off my official uniform?"

"well said!"

Cao An jumped up to the monster's head in two steps, cut off the stamens of the six-leaf flower, and threw them in front of Feng Zhao.

"What you have to do is very simple. Take this, write a complaint, lead people to block the door of the Demon Slayer Department, and scold me."

……

Shangjiang City has been in a state of flux recently.

First, the Minister of Justice lost his official seal and was imprisoned. Then, a major tragedy was discovered in Nanshan, involving six doors and being investigated. Then, the explosion at the Hanoi dock made the people in the city even more panic-stricken.

Unexpectedly, one wave came after another.

At noon, Feng Zhao, the minister of the Ministry of War, rode back. First he rushed to the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of War. After a while, the Minister of War held a memorial in his hand.

On the other side, Feng Zhao led a group of forbidden troops and blocked the door of the Demon Slayer Division.

If there is no urgent war, it would be a big taboo for the Minister of War to mobilize the imperial army this time.

But with his prestige, it is not impossible to recruit a team of supportive cronies and use his official position to block the doors of other houses.

At least this posture also suppressed the Demon Slayer Division.

If we were to talk about combat power alone, it would be easy for the Demon Slayer Division to defeat this group of forbidden troops.

But when it came to taking action, they all resorted to warring tactics. God knows what the situation was like when the Forbidden Army blocked the door.
  The captain of the Demon Slaying Division had to step forward immediately and pointed directly at Feng Zhao: "Feng Shilang, what do you mean by sending troops to block my Demon Slaying Division!"

Feng Shilang didn't hesitate, opened the manuscript paper he had prepared in his hand, and shouted loudly.

"Monster-killing Si Dingjie colluded with evildoers and poisoned 72 members of my Feng family. He deceived the emperor and ignored his superiors. His eyes were unreasonable. He had the face of a human and the heart of an animal. He acted as an aide to a tiger. He lost all conscience and made both humans and gods angry!"
