84: Intelligent monster!

"Failure?"

Zhao Sheng and the others looked a bit embarrassed when they heard the Town Chief of Taiping Town's complaints.

However, Lu Xuan had no time to listen to his complaints.

Lu Xuan was merely informing the Town Chief of Taiping Town, not seeking his consent.

"Just do as this official says."

The Town Chief of Taiping Town's face turned ugly, and he looked at Lu Xuan, who was in the very center.

"How do I know if you are truly Blackbird Guard? I haven't received any message from the County Magistrate."

Although there were three people wearing Blackbird Guard uniforms, who knew if they were imposters?

Especially the man standing in the middle, who looked only about twenty years old, seemed to be the backbone of this group.

The three men in Blackbird Guard uniforms standing beside him looked almost the same age as him.

Lu Xuan was too lazy to explain to him; he unclasped his hands from behind his back, raised a hand, and gently waved it forward, signaling Zhao Sheng and the other two to act.

"Apprehend him!"

"From now on, Taiping Town will be taken over by this official. These children, Li Daren, you are responsible for their care."

"The sacrificial ceremony three days from now is canceled. This official wants to see what severe consequences there will be for angering this so-called River God of Jinlin River."

Seeing that the other party was about to act, and hearing their intentions, the Town Chief of Taiping Town immediately panicked and tried to dissuade them.

"Sirs, I know you mean well, but we, Taiping Town, truly cannot afford to offend that River God of Jinlin River."

"If the River God of Jinlin River is angered, our Taiping Town will truly be finished."

"I beg you, sirs, spare our Taiping Town!"

The Town Chief of Taiping Town's behavior made Zhao Sheng and the other two speechless, their faces dark.

What he said, how did it sound like they were heinous villains?

"Town Chief, apologies!"

Qian Hao's resolute face showed a sharp decisiveness. His movements were swift like the wind, and in a few strides, he covered several meters, instantly arriving in front of the Town Chief of Taiping Town.

Seeing this, the Town Chief of Taiping Town was just about to raise his hands to resist.

A surging and vast Qi and blood swept out from Qian Hao, filling the entire hall.

The air within the hall instantly became scorching and turbulent.

The Town Chief of Taiping Town felt this oppressive, scorching Aura, his face ashen, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

In front of Qian Hao's powerful and vast Qi and blood, the Town Chief of Taiping Town couldn't even muster the thought of resisting, feeling as helpless as an ant facing an elephant.

"You!"

"Blood Refinement Realm!"

Immediately after, under the disbelieving gaze of the Town Chief of Taiping Town,

Zhao Sheng and Li Daren also simultaneously unleashed the powerful Qi and blood from their bodies.

The Qi and blood, carrying immense oppressive force, instantly subdued the guards in the hall who intended to resist.

Three Blood Refinement Realm Martial Artists?

Then, to what extent had the Martial Dao Realm of the one who could command these Blood Refinement Realm Martial Artists reached?

The Town Chief of Taiping Town had now surrendered and given up resisting.

In his eyes, as he looked at Lu Xuan, there was even a glimmer of hope, like the last straw in a desperate situation.

Could this unfamiliar man truly solve the problem of the River God of Jinlin River?

Lu Xuan, however, did not notice the change in the Town Chief of Taiping Town's emotions. He stood calmly in place, his expression profound and indifferent, as if everything was under his control.

The place where Taiping Town offered sacrifices to the River God each year was a large wooden platform built on the banks of the Jinlin River.

Of course, within these three days, it was forcibly dismantled by Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng also erected many large wooden signs on both sides of the route along the Jinlin River.

The wooden signs were engraved with more than a dozen eye-catching large characters!

Jinlin River, Danger!

No Entry!

Town Chief of Taiping Town, stay!

To be safe, all boats passing through the Jinlin River were also confiscated by Zhao Sheng.

Late at night, the stars were scattered, shining with mysterious and distant light.

The cold moonlight, like mercury, spilled onto the rolling river water, covering the surface with a thin silver veil.

On the rolling river water, the ripples shimmered, reflecting faint silver light, giving people a sense of inexplicable stillness.

At this moment, a black shadow, dozens of feet long, swept across the surface of the Jinlin River.

A short while later, that black shadow, dozens of feet high, incredibly leaped out from beneath the river surface, carrying towering waves.

Boom!

A deafening sound rang out!

The water of the Jinlin River, along with the black shadow, landed on the solid ground, and the river water soaked into the earth, forming puddles.

Thud, thud, thud!

Heavy sounds, produced by forcefully stepping into the puddles on the ground, echoed in the silent night.

Under the bright moonlight, the true face of the black shadow from the river surface was revealed.

The black shadow's four limbs supported its body on the ground. Its head looked very broad and flat, covered with date-red scales.

Its body, however, was covered with ink-black scales, glinting with a cold light.

Its two large eyes emitted a faint, eerie glow, and its mouth was wide open, filled with sharp teeth.

However, the next moment, this monster actually spoke like a human.

"Damned humans, how dare you violate the rules of the Jinlin River!"

"You caused me to be reprimanded by Lord Dragon!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll just slaughter them all this time."

"Anyway, Lord Dragon is almost free from the confinement set by that damned human back then."

"Jie..."

The Yao Beast hadn't finished laughing when a faint sound of footsteps came from behind it, making it swallow back the urge to burst into maniacal laughter.

In the boundless darkness, a figure slowly approached from a distance. Who else could it be but Lu Xuan?

Lu Xuan walked slowly, stopping only when he was ten meters away from the Yao Beast.

"Lord Dragon?"

This Yao Beast, whose face resembled a Koi Fish, could not only speak human language but also possessed thick limbs.

Moreover, judging from its previous words, it seemed that there was a mysterious existence even more powerful than it at the bottom of the Jinlin River.

"Are you the River God of Jinlin River?"

Lu Xuan's face was no longer calm now, as if he was seeing this world for the first time, and he began to scan the Koi Fish Demon Beast.

"Human!"

The moment the Koi Fish Demon Beast saw Lu Xuan, its two large eyes emitted a greenish glow.

The Koi Fish Demon Beast's eyes contained bloodlust and madness, as if it wanted to tear Lu Xuan, who appeared before it, into ten thousand pieces.

The next second, the Koi Fish Demon Beast's four limbs erupted, carrying a terrifying Aura like a hurricane sweeping through fallen leaves, and it dashed towards Lu Xuan like lightning.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan's hands remained clasped behind his back, his expression showing no panic whatsoever.

"Hmm?"

"It seems this Yao Beast's intelligence is not very high."

Although this Koi Fish Demon Beast possessed human intelligence, its intelligence should be no higher than that of a ten-year-old child.
