Sun Zhi was silent for a moment, then asked, "If I don't agree, what will you do? Expose my secret to everyone?"

"How could I?" Shen Lin's face was filled with a bright smile, but the words he spoke sent a chill down Sun Zhi's spine.

"It's just that Head Constable Sun should be careful of what's behind him when handling cases in the future. After all, you are quite valuable, so be careful of attracting the covetous eyes of villains."

Hearing this, Sun Zhi looked at Shen Lin with disdain, as if he had heard a joke. "You're threatening me? With you? A kid who just entered the Warrior Realm, you really think you can..."

This book is first published on π•₯ 𝕨 π•œ 𝕒 π•Ÿ . 𝕔 𝕠 π•ž.

Halfway through his sentence, Sun Zhi's voice suddenly stopped.

His mouth was open, and his Adam's apple was constantly trembling, but he didn't dare to swallow.

A steel saber had appeared at his throat at some point, pressed tightly against his skin.

The cold blade stimulated the hairs on his body to stand on end.

This guy... when did he...?

"Head Constable Sun, do you know..." Shen Lin grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said softly, "Martial arts aren't about who starts first, but about the strong being first?"

Shen Lin didn't use the power of his Qi and blood from the Vein Opening Realm. This entire action relied on his understanding of swordsmanship.

How to draw the saber faster, which angle of swinging the saber could reduce resistance, these were things he had deduced for over a hundred years with the help of the system.

Sun Zhi's heart was filled with shock at this moment.

The Qi and blood power displayed by the other party was clearly not much stronger than his own, but relying solely on his exquisite swordsmanship, he was able to subdue him in the blink of an eye.

This kid's martial arts talent is actually so amazing?

Just then, Shen Lin withdrew his saber and chuckled, "Please consider this matter carefully, Head Constable Sun."

He sheathed his long saber, turned around, and walked towards the courtyard door while waving his hand.

"Please give Magistrate Hu my regards, Head Constable Sun. Just say that I, this little one, can't hold my liquor and will be returning first."

Sun Zhi stood there blankly. Only after Shen Lin's figure had completely disappeared did he seem to remember how to breathe, gasping for air and leaning against the wall.

In nearly forty years, he had never felt so close to death.

Even fighting those demons in the past hadn't brought him so much pressure.

And Shen Lin, a warrior who had just generated Qi and blood power, actually made him feel a sense of suffocation.

In front of the other party, he seemed to have no power to fight back.

"Such talent, such forbearance..."

Sun Zhi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He remembered that the previous Shen Lin had always acted like a prodigal, with excellent talent but disliking martial arts practice, spending his days drinking and making merry.

But now it seemed that this guy was too dark-minded and had been hiding himself all along.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, probably no one in the entire Qiulin County could compare to him.

With lingering fear, he touched his neck, took a deep breath, and turned to walk back into the restaurant.

Inside the hall, ordinary constables filled a table, already arguing heatedly.

Sun Zhi was just about to return to the private room when he saw a crowd of people surrounding Kong Yu, with exclamations coming from time to time.

"That Mantis Demon was truly something. With a pair of scythes waving, the steel sabers issued by the county office couldn't shake its sharpness. Many brothers were directly dismembered by it. Fortunately, at the critical moment, our Master Shen took action!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhi's mind stirred, and he leaned closer.

He had already probed Kong Yu before, and the other party's performance didn't seem like he had discovered his secret.

And now, the demon-slaying process described by the other party aroused Sun Zhi's interest.

After the scene just now, he was full of curiosity about everything about Shen Lin.

Although he hadn't decided how to respond to the other party yet, and it was still unknown whether they were friends or foes, it was better to gather as much information about the other party as possible.

Kong Yu picked up his wine cup, and someone immediately poured him a full cup of wine, asking, "Brother Kong, Master Shen is a warrior, but he couldn't save our brothers from the Mantis Demon's hands?"

Slurp!

He drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and Kong Yu shook his head, sighing, "At that time, Master Shen and I fought side by side, and I didn't feel any change in Master Shen's strength. He only broke through to the Warrior Realm when he faced a life-and-death crisis later on."

"What kind of life-and-death crisis?"

A strange look appeared on Kong Yu's face, seeming a little embarrassed to speak. He looked at the brothers around him and said in a low voice, "I'm only telling you this, don't go around blabbering about it after you go out."

"That Mantis Demon was a female, and she liked handsome men. After dealing with the other colleagues, she left me and Master Shen behind. I was tied up outside, and I could hear the movements inside clearly. It was a real earth-shattering experience."

"Ew ~"

Someone first said "ew" in disgust, then sighed, seeming a little sympathetic to Shen Lin, and said, "Those demons all look ugly and ferocious... It's really hard for Master Shen."

"You don't understand!"

At this time, someone next to him retorted, "Demons who have cultivated demonic Qi can all transform into human form. Some of the beautiful women transformed by demons are even better-looking than ordinary courtesans. In some places in the state city, there are demons who have transformed into humans to receive guests. I heard the taste is amazing..."

A group of old perverts all let out lewd laughter.

Kong Yu waved his hand, hurriedly pulling the topic back.

"Even so, the physical strength of demons who have cultivated demonic Qi is much stronger than us mortals. Master Shen may have been able to break through and become a warrior in such a life-and-death crisis."

"As for what happened afterwards, because I was knocked unconscious, my consciousness was blurred, so I don't know much about it. I only remember vaguely hearing Master Shen, who had become a warrior, display his divine power, not only teasing the Mantis Demon with ease but also beating her until she cried out 'No'."

Hearing this, Sun Zhi's expression was strange.

This guy might really have some psychological problems...

It seems that he still has to consider this matter carefully.

Shaking his head, Sun Zhi returned to the private room with complicated feelings.

And after tonight, the heroic deeds of Master Shen spread throughout Qiulin County.

On the streets and alleys, vendors shared gossip with each other.

"Have you heard? After Master Shen was that-ed by the demon, he was filled with shame and broke through to become a warrior on the spot, killing the demon until she retreated in defeat, crying out 'No'."

"That's not right, is it? Why did I hear that our Master Shen just likes this kind of thing, and he was teasing the other party before slaying the demon."

On the street in front of the brothel, a man was furtively peddling pills.

"Brother! Want one? My medicine nourishes Qi and strengthens the kidneys, guaranteeing that you will be majestic and your golden gun will never fall!"

"Is it really that magical?"

"Of course! How could I possibly deceive you? You know Master Shen from the Criminal Division, right? He took my pills, and that's how he was able to fight the demon for three hundred rounds, exhausting her and then killing her with one strike."

Inside the county office, ordinary constables looked at Shen Lin, who had just walked in, and whispered to the person next to them after he had walked away:

"Have you heard? Master Shen killed that Mantis Demon by that-ing her to death!"
