Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 197: Night Demon Slayer (Part )
Hu Feng's death was part of Yang Qian's plan. The Patrol Office had to be reorganized, and this spy had to be removed.

After Yang Qian had caught Hu Feng by asking people to help clean up the public office buildings, he had not taken any action because he was concerned that it would irritate the people behind him, so he wanted to change to a more appropriate method.

So after receiving the case in Yong'an City, Yang Qian brought Hu Feng here. He also deliberately made a bet with Zhang Jun, and after settling all the troubles, he watched Hu Feng die peacefully.

This can be considered a suitable reason for Hu Feng's death.

At least before Yang Qian and the forces entrenched in the dark in Jizhou Prefecture completely fall out, he can deceive them for a while longer, giving himself more opportunities to open up the situation without being constrained.

Now that Hu Feng is dead, Yang Qian raised his head and looked at the black fog hanging above Hu Feng's head. He was about to take action to liberate this pitiful but evil ghost who could not be left alone.

"Although you are pitiful, you have gone too far. Today I will help you completely resolve this obsession. I will give it to you as a gift, eh?!"

Yang Qian suddenly discovered that the ghost did not leave after Hu Feng died, but began to drill into Hu Feng's body, and Hu Feng's body began to vibrate slightly. After a while, the ghost retreated again, but dragged a lighter shadow, and the shadow that was dragged out was being swallowed by the ghost at a rapid speed.

Yang Qian was stunned, and a chill ran down his spine. He guessed that the ghost had just pulled out Hu Feng's soul, which had not yet dissipated after his death, and then ate it? !

Devouring human souls! Isn't this the way that demon cultivators and evil cultivators practice?

Or can ghosts also practice cultivation by devouring human souls?
But "Ten Yuan Yi Zhi" clearly states that ghosts are born anomalies, born out of obsession and resentment, and are not subject to the rules of life and death in the universe. So there is no need for them to cultivate immortality, right? A simple pursuit of power?

Is it possible that there are still ghosts who can cultivate?

An absurd idea popped up in his mind, but was quickly suppressed by Yang Qian because these speculations were unreliable.

Because even if evil spirits can practice cultivation, and there are ghost practitioners in the world, but it is absolutely impossible for this to happen to a new ghost that has only become an evil spirit for a few months.

At this time, Yang Qian discovered that compared to the ghost he had seen in the Sandaocheng Tomb Mountain before, this ghost was much larger, and the black fog he perceived was several times thicker. At first, he didn't care, thinking it was a difference in the ghost itself, but now it seems that it is probably because this ghost devours human souls.

"In that case, I can't let you stay!" Yang Qian's previous entanglement in his heart was gone at this time. No matter how miserable the ghost's past was, it was not a reason for it to wantonly kill living people. And devouring human souls might be the reason why this ghost killed seven yamen runners and constables in a row.

No hatred or resentment, but greedy.

This kind of ghost must not be allowed to stay!

However, when Yang Qian was filled with murderous intent, the evil ghost moved first and ran out the door at an extremely fast speed.

"run?"

Yang Qian sneered and used his body skills to chase after it. His perception is not like that of the naked eye, which is disturbed by the night. As long as the evil spirit does not leave his perception range, there is no possibility of losing it.

The evil ghost hid underground and then sneaked into the wall, as if trying to get rid of Yang Qian. Finally, it stopped at the Moon Gate that Yang Qian had been to before, which was also the place where the evil ghost lived before.

"Is it so violent?"

Unlike the daytime, it was late at night when the Yin Qi in the world was at its thickest. Entering this small courtyard, the feeling was completely different. During the day, it felt extremely cold, not to mention that at this time, there was a layer of Yin Qi like a mist in the whole courtyard, even below the knees, so thick that it was visible to the naked eye!

In Yang Qian's perception, the evil ghost crawled into the well in the yard.

Hiding?

Yang Qian frowned. Why did he run away when he saw him? And why did he hide? Did he feel that he was different from ordinary people? Did he feel threatened and ran away?
This is not right. It is different from the last time Yang Qian saw a ghost in Sandai City. The ghost that time did not make any unnecessary movements because of his presence. It even left by diving into the ground because the sun was shining down.

But soon Yang Qian understood why the evil ghost had run away so early. To be precise, the ghost was not trying to run away, but to lure him over!
Yea!

A shrill roar suddenly sounded, not in the ear, but directly in Yang Qian's mind and went straight into his soul!

Then Yang Qian sensed that a huge ghost fog suddenly emerged from the depths of the well in front of him, and the evil ghost that had previously swallowed Hu Feng was directly thrown into it and became one with it!
I had already guessed that this evil ghost devoured human souls to strengthen itself, but I didn't expect that it actually hid its true form? !

The ghostly fog that was emerging from the well had doubled in size and was even more solid. There was even a pair of bright spots in the fog that looked like eyes, staring at Yang Qian with murderous intent.

"die!"

As the huge evil ghost's body emerged from the well, a piercing sound once again rang out from Yang Qian's soul, and this time it actually made him a little dizzy? !
Sound attack?!
Or is it an attack method targeting the soul? !

While Yang Qian was wondering, the evil ghost had already pounced towards him, like a fog net about ten feet in radius, trying to wrap Yang Qian up in it!

"Tsk."

Yang Qian sneered, raised his hand, and held the oxtail knife in his hand. His aura changed instantly, as if he had merged into the knife. He was so sharp that it seemed as if he could kill people with just a breath!

As a result, the protective energy around Yang Qian turned into a shield with countless sharp blades, which for a moment made the evil ghost want to wrap around him but was restrained and dared not move forward.

But after just a moment, two strange marks suddenly flashed on the evil ghost's body. They were red and reminded Yang Qian of the seal symbols on talismans that he had seen used many times by people in the immortal sect!

The mark flickered, and the evil ghost roared again. As if stimulated by something, the fog ball actually produced sharp thorns, which broke away from the invisible range of the ghost fog ball and appeared directly in Yang Qian's naked eyes, and then continued to stab towards Yang Qian!

This time, Yang Qian's body-protecting true energy was actually broken directly. Even though the body-protecting true energy was mixed with sword intent, it was still unable to block these spikes. It seemed that after the sword intent cut and shattered them, these spikes immediately gathered together again in an instant, dispersing and gathering freely, completely ignoring the cutting of the sword intent!

This was the first time that Yang Qian encountered something that could move freely in the face of sword intent.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Yang Qian’s sword intent is hopeless.

The cutting rules represented by the sword intent also need to follow the cutting texture, but now it is just the scattered sword intent on the body-protecting true energy. Yang Qian really doesn't believe that he can vaguely see the cutting texture on the evil ghost's body, but still can't do anything to the other party.

Holding the hilt of the knife in one hand, Yang Qian closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then slashed at the moment when the sword from the evil spirit's body broke through his body protection and was about to pierce his body!
