Sword Demon Shinto

Chapter 1019 The Devil Is Not The Devil
The sound of a zither resounded between heaven and earth, and a faint sadness lingered throughout Huainan City. After a long time, the sound fell, and a figure slowly left in the sky, leaving behind a solitude.

"He... is really a demon."

In the tavern, the merchant said, with a look of fear on his face, everyone looked at him with trembling faces.

Dressed in white, handsome as a demon, it turned out that what the merchant said was correct, there really was a demon that came from the vast sea and devoured countless people, and they were in the same tavern with him just now.

The melody of the zither took away hundreds of thousands of lives. The people who were still alive disappeared in the blink of an eye. Everyone in the entire Huainan City was stunned. Looking at the figure in the sky, their expressions trembled.

"The devil, the root of the catastrophe, once it appears in the world, it will bring disaster to the world and stain the sky with blood. It turns out that it is not a lie."

Someone said, looking at the sky, his expression trembled, and he remembered the demon described in the ancient book, with a look of fear on his face.

"The devil cultivator is now in this world, and the world will punish him. This is the death oath of all the saints. If this demon is not eliminated, it will definitely be a catastrophe for our Hunyuan Continent. One day, perhaps the entire Hunyuan Continent will be swallowed by him."

"We must report this matter to the Immortal Sword Pavilion as soon as possible. This demon is ferocious and ruthless. We are not invincible. The Immortal Sword Pavilion is a holy place. With the Immortal Sword Supreme in charge, we will definitely be able to kill him."

"Eliminating demons and defending Taoism is a matter of the world. Everyone has to do their best. Although we can't kill demons, we can pass on the traces of this demons to the Immortal Sword Pavilion. We must kill him as soon as possible."

……

Countless people in Huainan City were discussing, all of them looked dignified. Some people flew out of the city and followed Lin Xuan. They wanted to follow Lin Xuan and pass Lin Xuan's location to the Immortal Sword Pavilion.

"The devil devours all living beings. He is cruel and innocent. If he goes to one place, he will surely stain the earth with blood. But why does he only kill such a small number of people, but let us survive?"

Someone in the tavern said that it was the tavern owner who looked puzzled at the figure disappearing in the sky.

Huainan City is also a big city, with tens of millions of people, but only killed a few hundred thousand people, less than one-tenth, which is too different from the rumors, and looking at Lin Xuan's appearance just now, he really can't Lin Xuan is associated with those cruel and bloodthirsty demons.

How could such a handsome and polite son be a devil, how could he kill so many people for no reason?
"No, there is something wrong with these corpses."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the corner, and a group of people focused their gazes on it. It was a young man in civilian clothes, who was looking at several bloody corpses with a look of doubt on his face.

"what happened?"

"Look, this corpse seems to have rotted, as if it had been dead for a long time, but we saw it just now, they were killed just now, and the sword intent in the air has not dissipated."

The commoner youth said, and the group of people also turned their attention to the corpses, showing serious expressions.

Several corpses fell on the ground, they were shriveled, their blood was dried up, and there was a rotten smell coming out. Judging by the appearance, these people had been dead for a long time.

"How is this possible? They obviously just died not long ago. How could the corpses rot so quickly?"

"What's the matter? Could it be that the devil's method devoured all the blood and anger of these people, so that these corpses became like this?"

"We still have so many people here, if he is really a devil, why didn't he kill us too?"

……

Several corpses brought out doubts one after another. The eyes of the entire tavern were focused on the corpses, with serious expressions on their faces.

"The body dissipated."

One person said, everyone's eyes were shocked. In their eyes, the corpses dissipated little by little and turned into wisps of black mist. The man's expression trembled, and he retreated abruptly, avoiding these wisps of black mist.

"Be careful, avoid it a little bit, this thing is weird, it seems to want to drill into our body."

The tavern owner said, stepping forward, he felt the aura of Emperor Zun overflowing from his body, which surprised everyone around him. The tavern owner is also a strong emperor.

"hiss!"

Looking at the boss, the wisps of black mist seemed to be aware of the threat, and they made a sound like a snake, which made people's scalp tingle, and they wanted to fly into the sky. The void was torn apart, and these wisps of black mist were captured back.

"What is this thing? It's so weird. How could it be in the bodies of these people? Could it be that the demon killed them for this reason?"

Someone said that as soon as the words fell, they heard a low drink from the tavern owner, breaking up the few wisps of black mist in his hand, with a serious expression on his face and a frown, as if he had sensed something.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Someone asked, the boss looked at him, then at the people around him, and took a deep breath.

"This is an extremely terrifying creature with a strong parasitic ability. I feel death and destruction..."

"Perhaps there was a reason for that young man to kill these people. What he wanted to kill were not people, but these strange creatures. Do you remember what he said when he came in just now?"

The tavern owner said, with a dignified look on his face, the group of people were stunned, and after thinking about it, they were all shocked.

"I don't kill people, I only kill evil."

The faint seven words, I didn't think there was anything at the time, but thinking about it now shocked everyone.

It turned out that he didn't hide it from the beginning. When he entered the tavern, the merchant said he was a demon. He admitted that he didn't kill people, but only punished evil. Unfortunately, a group of people thought he was joking.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that everything has been figured out, but everyone's brows are frowned even deeper, and the whole tavern is silent. If it is just the truth, then did everyone misunderstand him?
Although a demon is a demon, it is not a bloodthirsty demon, but a demon that saves the world, but who will believe this?

There are only a few dozen of them, and this world is too big, there are endless creatures, it is difficult to estimate, how can the power of a few people go against the words of the common people, not to mention the death oath of the saints, no one will believe them.

Another point is that if they defend the devil, they may also become enemies of the world and be torn to pieces by those who are blinded by hatred. Even if they know the truth, they still can't say it.

Demons are demons, they are the enemy of all, they will be punished by the people of the world, and the words of all living beings are irreversible, even if they know the truth, they can only keep silent, at most they will not join the ranks of slaughtering demons.

A group of people thought of the lonely figure in the sky, and the sad sentence of her death, and they were all silent. It turned out that everything was wrong, and the world was wrong. The devil is not a devil, but a savior.
