Changsheng: I will win my life with martial arts, and I will defeat the demons in this chaotic world

The sound of the door closing behind him exploded in Zhang Quan's mind like a thunderclap.

Under the influence of alcohol, he was a little drowsy and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

He subconsciously touched the sword at his waist and slowly turned around to look at the door.

There was no one.

There was no wind just now, so the door could not have closed for no reason.

Since it was not a human, there was only one possibility left.........

Zhang Quan swallowed nervously, and the steel knife in his hand was already unsheathed.

He widened his eyes and walked towards the door with a solemn expression.

But when he wanted to open the door and leave, he found that the door was not locked and could not be pushed open.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Zhang Quan leaned against the door in despair, his heart in his throat, and his hand holding the knife kept shaking.

"Who is playing tricks? Get out of here if you dare!"

The yard was dead silent, with only Zhang Quan's heavy breathing clearly audible.

After a long time, hoarse and piercing laughter came from the dark house, which sounded particularly creepy.

""Child, you must be hungry. Grandma has some fresh meat. Come and have a taste."

In the darkness, a hunchbacked old woman came out holding a broken porcelain bowl.

Her face was pale, like a piece of white paper, without a trace of blood.

In the broken porcelain bowl was a piece of meat covered with scratches and blood.

Zhang Quan was so frightened when he saw this scene that he trembled all over and fell into a state of extreme fear. It was not until the old woman was only a few steps away from him that he woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly grasped the steel knife and held it across his body, posing a defensive posture.

Seeing this, the old woman stopped and her pale face became somewhat hideous and terrifying.

"Good children are not picky eaters, you are a bad child!"

As she said this, she suddenly laughed, her laughter was eerie and strange, as if it had the ability to capture people's hearts.

Zhang Quan's eyes were dazed, and he stood there blankly.

The old woman slowly stepped forward and took away the steel knife with a cold glow. At the same time, a skinny hand gently stroked Zhang Quan's neck.

"Bad kids should be punished."

At this time, a gray-white nail about three inches long extended from the old woman's index finger.

The front end of the nail was extremely sharp.

As the old woman's fingertips slowly passed, a blood line suddenly appeared on Zhang Quan's neck.

However, Zhang Quan seemed to have lost his soul and remained motionless in the same place.

The old woman licked the blood on her finger and then showed a loving smile.

"It's so sweet."

Her eyes gradually became greedy. She grabbed Zhang Quan's neck with both hands, and two sharp fangs grew out of her mouth, biting him.

At the critical moment, an arrow flashed past the old woman's eyes. The arrowhead brushed the corner of her eye and hit a water tank in the yard.

The huge tank instantly exploded into countless pieces.

The old woman let go of Zhang Quan in shock, and her blue pupils looked around quickly.

Soon, her eyes locked on the figure on the courtyard wall.

Lu Ren was sitting on the wall with his legs hanging, holding a seemingly ordinary hunting bow in his hand.

A new arrow was already on the bowstring.

He smiled lightly and raised the corner of his mouth, and greeted politely:

"Old man, there is a banquet in town tonight, why don't you go and join us?"

The old woman's face was slightly stiff, and she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. Her intuition told her that the young man in front of her was scary.

She bent her body, coughed weakly, and then spoke slowly:"My teeth are not very good, so I won't join in the fun."

"Bad teeth?" Lu Ren said with a half-smile:"I think your teeth are pretty good. Look, aren't those two bloody holes on Zhang Quan's neck the ones you just bit?"

The old woman was silent for a moment:"I can let him go, but you can't continue to embarrass me."

"No problem." Lu Ren nodded:"But before that, I want to know why you want to kill Shen Deshou?"

The old woman lowered her head, with a trace of sadness in her eyes.

Then, she told Lu Ren a piece of information that shocked him.

"I am his first wife."

Lu Ren frowned and said,"Didn't Shen Deshou's first wife die a long time ago?"

The old woman said,"I did die many years ago."

"That.......What form do you exist in now? A corpse or a demon?"

"Neither." The old woman thought for a while and said,"It's half human, half demon."

She bent down, and her body shook, revealing her true form.

It was a black cat that looked very old.

She looked at Lu Ren and continued,"In his early years, Shen Deshou colluded with demons in secret in order to consolidate his position as mayor."

"During those years, people disappeared inexplicably almost every month, and after investigation, there was no clue. In fact, those people were secretly offered to the demon by Shen Deshou."

Lu Ren didn't know much about Shen Deshou, but he instinctively felt that he was not a good guy. He didn't expect that he had done so many bad things. But on the surface, he pretended to be a good and respected person, and was deeply loved and respected by the people in the town. It was ironic to think about it.

"What is his purpose in colluding with the demons, money or fame?"

The old woman sneered,"What qualifications does he have to negotiate with the demons? He is just a lackey for the demons. If there is any benefit to him, it is nothing more than that he can use the demons to eliminate those who are against him."

"So, you were also killed by him offering you to the demon?"

The old woman shook her head:"He is not that crazy, haha, there is actually no difference."

"One time, I accidentally discovered his meeting with a demon, and since then I have been trying to persuade him to mend his ways and stop doing evil. But not only did he not listen, he also beat and scolded me.

Until I could no longer tolerate it and decided to expose his evil deeds, he was worried about his reputation and wanted to kill me.

That day, he locked me in the room and beat me for two hours until I died completely.

To the outside world, he claimed that I died of illness, the most severe plague.

So no one dared to approach my grave, and the truth of the matter was buried under the loess."

Lu Ren was puzzled:"Then how did you survive and look like this?"

"It was because I had been harboring resentment towards Shen Deshou for years. By chance, a severely injured cat demon fainted in front of my grave and absorbed my resentment........"

Lu Ren understood in his heart:"So that's it."

But he did not put down the bow and arrow. Instead, he stared at the old woman thoughtfully and asked:"But why did you come back to seek revenge on him after so many years?"

"At first, my resentment was very weak, and I couldn't control this demon body. I could only lurk in the depths of its soul and wait for an opportunity to act. Until today, I was able to gain the upper hand and have the ability to control this body."

Lu Ren thought for a while and waved his hand:"You are also a pitiful person. Since the great revenge has been avenged, I will let you go today and don't come back again."

The old woman turned into a black cat and nodded, saying gratefully:"Thank you, Master Lu."

After that, she jumped onto the courtyard wall nimbly and fled into the distance under the cover of night.

Lu Ren narrowed his eyes:"Stop, what did you call me just now?"
