A Demon’s Path

Mukang Village is a very remote mountain village in Mingyue Prefecture. Except for hundreds of families born and raised, few people usually pass by here.

The villagers live a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, plain and content.

But the peaceful days of the villagers were finally broken on this day. A bunch of aggressive guys gave them some money and drove them all away, saying they would rent their village for seven days.

Forced by the strength of the opponent, the villagers had to relocate their families to the back mountain.

Seven days is seven days. These people didn't hurt anyone, and they gave some food, and a large sum of money that they couldn't spend in their lifetime. So what if they hid for seven days?

When the masked Hammer came to Mukang Village with more than 20 brothers, there was no one in the whole village, and it was a mess and dilapidated everywhere.

The chickens and ducks were running around looking for food, and the pigs in the pigsty fell to the ground, probably not eating for many days.

The dogs were also so hungry that they ran around and barked, jumping on chickens and ducks when they saw them.

Everything showed that the people here had been gone for many days.

But Hammer, who had a keen sense, didn't think that the person they were looking for was no longer here. If this was the case, the villagers didn't need to hide at all.

Since the villagers haven't come out yet, it must be that the man is afraid that the villagers will reveal his whereabouts, so he hid all the villagers somewhere.

Hammer is confident in his own judgment, and asks his companions to search for clues in the village.

Sure enough, after searching for a long time, they finally found a very hidden hole under the broken stove in an extremely remote and deserted house.

The opening of the hole was recently dug, as evidenced by the unfinished soil beside it.

"Search!" Hammer gave an order, and ten companions rushed in from the entrance of the cave and entered this hidden tunnel.

Hammer was still very careful, and sent the other half to avoid being plotted to wipe out the entire army. As long as there are ten people, even if the opponent is the peak figure of the Seven Holy Lands, they have a chance to escape together. This is the source of Hammer's confidence.

So Hammer calmly waited outside, waiting for news from inside.

As soon as the ten masked men walked into the cave, they immediately took out the fluorescent emergency lights and looked around clearly.

The tunnel was dug very badly and hastily, and the soil and mudstone left by the tunnel were everywhere. There is only one road ahead, not even a diverging road to confuse people.

These masked people chose to move on without hesitation, and they walked very fast.

The tunnel is very narrow, and can only accommodate three people at most side by side, and there is no way for ten people to move forward side by side. Therefore, the ten people rushed forward in a straight line.

No one realized that when they were only tens of meters ahead, a person running at the rear was pinned down by a sudden black shadow from behind, and his throat was cut with a dagger.

This black shadow came without a sound, killed people without a sound, and left without a sound.

So much so that no one thought that the ten of them had become nine.

This tunnel is inexplicably long, and it's all one way forward. The masked man who rushed to the front felt like he ran for thousands of meters, but the tunnel still didn't end.

At this time, he subconsciously looked up, and his heart suddenly became as cold as winter.

That's where they came in, and they circled so many circles that they returned to the original place!

Then, the guy quickly realized that it wasn't that they had gone around in an untold number of great circles, but that he had gone in an untold number of circles.

Because, to his great sorrow, he found that there was no companion beside or behind him!

In order to be afraid of scaring the snake before, these specially trained people all restrained their soul power, and even their footsteps were so light that they could not be heard.

Unexpectedly, this became the direct reason for him to become a polished commander.

What's even more frightening is that the enemy was able to kill nine of his companions without a sound, but he didn't realize it!

The masked man's first reaction was to flee immediately, escape, return to the main force, and return to broad daylight. He didn't believe that the enemy hiding in the dark dared to come to them openly.

Unfortunately, he knew that he had no chance of escaping.

A dagger silently pierced into his back vest, the dagger was still covered with venom, the venom instantly passed through his blood, paralyzing his whole body, he fell to the ground before he even had time to snort.

A black shadow pulled out the dagger, and replaced the mask on the man's face and the clothes on his body.

At this moment, another nine masked figures walked over from two directions at the same time.

No more, no less, just made up ten of them.

Hammer waited impatiently outside, but only ten minutes had passed, and it was normal that there was no reply.

But Hammer's heart soon calmed down, and the ten brothers came back up.

"Scissors, have you found Xiao Canglang?" Hammer asked in vain, because there was no living person or corpse of Xiao Canglang behind or in the hands of the ten brothers.

Scissors shook his head, but said nothing.

"No..." Hammer was a little disappointed: "Then let's look elsewhere."

Hammer glanced casually when he turned around, and inadvertently saw a little red on the back of Axe's clothes.

Out of instinct for danger, Hammer flew forward a hundred meters away without looking back!

When Hammer turned his head back, he suddenly found that the ten brothers standing outside with him had all died under the daggers of the ten masked men who came out just now!

A dagger is deadly, very professional, even more professional than hammers.

Hammer knew that if he didn't escape, he would never have another chance.

Disregarding any brotherhood, Hammer rushed all the way to the entrance of the village.

One person stood at the entrance of the village, blocking the hammer's way.

"It's just a guy of the yellow rank, how dare he block the way in front of me?" Hammer was so angry that he flew forward without saying a word, and punched the man directly in the face!

Simple, direct, and effective, this is the training Hammer and the others have received.

And at this moment, the stimulated Hammer exerted his physical fitness to the extreme. This punch without any soul power, just by its speed and the hardness of the fist, is enough to blast any stubborn stone into powder!

Unfortunately, his fist stopped one meter in front of the guy blocking the way.

The same dagger pierced the hammer's back vest, causing the hammer to lose all its strength in an instant, not even the strength to let go of its fist.

Hammer's face hidden under the mask made it hard to see the expression, but those eyes completely exposed his heart at this time.

Fear, helplessness, fear, and a little bit...

incredible.

"I am the Xiao Canglang you are looking for." The guy blocking the way walked up to the hammer with a cold face: "You can die in peace."

Hammer only felt that the dagger behind his back pierced into his body again, this was his last consciousness.

The ten masked figures walked up to "Xiao Canglang" Ling Xiao, kneeled down and saluted Ling Xiao very respectfully: "Meet the leader."

Ling Xiao waved his hand and said coldly: "Thank you for your hard work, let's all go back to the Seven Demon Sect."

"Yes, leader." The ten people left without saying anything, leaving Ling Xiao alone at the entrance of the village.

For Ling Xiao, more than a year ago, these masked people were so unfathomable and difficult to defeat. At this time, he can solve any one of them by himself.

It seems that their leader Shen Nanfeng is not as invincible as he imagined before.

Moreover, Ling Xiao finally has a certain amount of power in his hands now, and this power is the killer that Ling Xiao asked Elder Qing to secretly cultivate in the Seven Demon Sect.

Those killers were all Qing-level killers that Ling Xiao had trained Elder Qing with the assassination skills of the third brother Hei Da. They were originally assassins in the Seven Demon Sect, coupled with the assassination skills of the third brother Hei Da, they were trained to be top chain soul master killers in a short period of time.

These killers only belonged to Ling Xiao alone, not to the current Seven Demon Sect.

As long as it's not in Luofenggu's territory, apart from Shen Nanfeng coming in person, Ling Xiao has absolute confidence that as many people as Luofenggu will come to die!

And the current action is just a warning to Luofenggu.

"I don't know how Elder Qing is doing in Xiaoganshan Village. The Martial Arts Competition should be almost done, right? It's time to go back to Wanzhu City."

Ling Xiao turned and left, walking in the direction of Wanzhu City.

Some dim sunlight shone on the twenty-one corpses placed at the entrance of the village. The conflict between sunlight and death gave this scene a shocking and strange feeling.
