Da Xuan Martial Saint

Qingsha River Domain.

As one of the two rivers of Yu County, the Qingsha River was already very wide, with the widest part reaching several hundred feet. Now, at the tide, it was even more vast, with the waters surging, submerging both banks, as far as the eye could see.

On a high slope located in the eastern part of the Qingsha River, one could see hundreds of demons, emerging from the river waters, led by a fifth-rank Water Demon 'Ran Pang'. They were attacking along both banks, fiercely battling a group of Demon-Slaying Office and Inspectorate personnel.

Ran Pang.

Its form resembled a doll but with fish scales, snake tail, and a back lined with raised sharp spines. Its size was also very large, nearly thirty feet, it was one of the more common fifth-rank demons in the river, like Feng Yi, they were so common they had specific names.

The person directly confronting Ran Pang was wearing a purple official robe, none other than the City Lord of Yu City, Xue Huaikong.

Xue Huaikong, wielding a long spear, was fighting back and forth with the Water Demon Ran Pang. Although he had left several blood marks on Ran Pang's body, the wounds were not severe, and he had always been unable to defeat it. The wounds on Ran Pang were healing visibly fast, indicating it possessed a strong recovery power uncommon among ordinary demons.

"..."

Xue Huaikong's brow was tightly furrowed, feeling the situation was troublesome at this moment.

He didn't mind tangling with this demon, but the problem was that his troops were fending off numerous demons' attacks, and new demons were continuously emerging from the water. If this stalemate continued, the situation would not be good unless he could defeat Ran Pang and free his hands. However, Ran Pang's self-healing ability was extremely strong, making it difficult for him to kill it.

However,

just as Xue Huaikong was secretly worrying, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye a white-clothed figure swiftly approaching over the river, from afar to near, reaching close by almost instantly.

"Inspector Yan has arrived!"

At that moment, all the personnel of the Inspectorate and Demon-Slaying Office felt their spirits lift.

A person's reputation precedes them.

The Inspector Yan Jingqing was in charge of the entire Qingsha River Domain, even common Martial Men knew that he was a powerhouse of the Sixth Viscera Realm, standing at the sixth realm of Martial Art Body Tempering, an almost invincible presence in Yu County.

As numerous White-Clothed Guards and thousands from the Inspectorate Office felt their spirits rally, they saw Yan Jingqing step ashore. He glanced over the chaotic battlefield, his expression calm, and without much action, just came with hands behind his back.

One step,

Two steps,

Three steps,

Yan Jingqing, dressed in white robes, moved forward with hands behind him. Wherever he passed, without any visible action, all demons within a dozen feet around him silently showed dense cracks across their bodies, then crumbled into piles of flesh and blood!

Yan Jingqing continued forward, crossing the chaotic battlefield. Dozens upon hundreds of demons just froze and shattered into piles of bones and flesh. Even the fifth-rank Water Demon Ran Pang, which was entangled with Xue Huaikong, froze on the spot as Yan Jingqing approached. Its massive body was covered in bloodlines that spread throughout, then suddenly fractured into pieces!

Almost instantly after Yan Jingqing landed, the chaotic battle came to an abrupt halt.

The area fell into dead silence.

The most shocking aspect was that aside from the bodies of the demons, which seemed as if they had been slashed by thousands of knives and shattered to bits, all officials from the Inspectorate and Demon-Slaying Office were completely unaffected, not even a corner of their robes was damaged. All those invisible attacks were concentrated solely on the bodies of the demons.

Such a shocking scene caused many nearby demon slayers in green and white robes to stand frozen, as if petrified, and they even forgot to salute Yan Jingqing.

"Inspector, sir."

Even City Lord Xue Huaikong was quite shocked by this scene, watching the demon Ran Pang silently shattering into pieces, but he was the quickest to recover and respectfully saluted towards Yan Jingqing.

Yan Jingqing glanced at Xue Huaikong and said calmly, "Prefectural Governor Xue has worked hard. Have your men rest here for a moment, and if there are no other issues, continue patrolling along the banks later."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Yes,"

Xue Huaikong responded respectfully.

Yan Jingqing's gaze swept over the scene, then he turned to look at the vast river, seemingly pondering something, but eventually shook his head slightly, then stepped towards the riverside.

Just as he was about to leave again, suddenly a figure hurriedly approached from the distance.

"Inspector, sir!"

It was a scout responsible for delivering intelligence to Yan Jingqing.

Yan Jingqing halted his steps, looking towards the rushing scout, not asking much but listening to his words. When he heard of the many personnel from the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion appearing in various river domains to compete for resources, his expression did not change much.

Your journey continues with empire

Since the start of the tide disaster, he had understood the plans of Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, which, despite seeming to be under his pressure and forced to deploy more personnel in Yu County, was actually prepared for this tide disaster, their actions all connected in sequence.

However,

when he heard what the scout reported about the events in Qingping River Domain, Yan Jingqing's expression finally changed, showing a hint of astonishment, then he turned towards the distant river and after a moment, shook his head and said:

"It seems I have underestimated him."

He knew that Chen Mu had entered the Five Viscera Realm and was aware of Chen Mu's high aptitude and strength, but he did not expect it to be to this extent.

To repel Hehuan's Hua Nongying!
