The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 300: Becoming a Demon (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
Even without using any special skills, Su Mu could see that the demonic aura in front of him was rising to the sky.

One after another, human figures walked out of the dilapidated houses in the mountain village. They were surrounded by black mist and their eyes were all deathly gray.

"Brother Ding!"

"Gao Laowu!"

Meng Wanjun and others exclaimed in surprise.

Those people were none other than the people from the Taiping Division who had disappeared before.

Su Mu glanced around but did not see Fu Qingzhu.

"Something is wrong, everyone be careful."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, and he slowly drew out the Thunder Blade.

With Su Mu's strength, he is not afraid of facing some Taiping commanders even if they have been possessed by demons.

But it was all too coincidental.

Meng Wanjun and his team had been investigating for so many days and found nothing. As soon as he arrived in Jinshan Township, these possessed Taiping captains appeared one after another.

To say it was just a coincidence would mean you really thought Su Mu was a fool.

Obviously, this was directed at him.

Su Mu is not bragging, he is now somewhat famous. Before anyone wants to deal with him, they have to consider his strength.

To put it bluntly, ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to target him. If they dare to deal with Su Mu without real ability, they are looking for death.

In other words, those who dare to plot against him must not be ordinary people.

The disadvantage of being famous is that if someone wants to deal with you, they will definitely use a force that matches your fame.

If you want to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger again, you will have no chance.

Swish!
Su Mu stepped forward, flames burst out from the blade of the Thunder Blade, and fire dragons shuttled through the crowd, instantly taking the lives of those Taiping captains.

They used to be comrades, but after being possessed by demons, they became enemies.

Meng Wanjun and others also gritted their teeth and attacked.

In this situation, killing them is the best option for them.

Everyone erupted in silence, and the sound of knives cutting into flesh continued to be heard.

Soon, more than a dozen bodies were neatly lined up in a row.

Everyone felt very heavy-hearted.

These people were their comrades who had once worked together day and night.

Seeing them like this, I’m afraid Fu Qingzhu won’t be spared either.

"Da da--"

Just when everyone was sad, footsteps suddenly sounded.

I saw a black shadow about two meters tall appear outside the mountain village.

boom!
The moment the black shadow appeared, there was a loud bang, walls collapsed, and three huge monsters appeared in the other three directions.

Those monsters just surrounded everyone in the center.

"Sir, we have fallen into a trap."

Meng Wanjun said in a deep voice with a serious expression.

Su Mu nodded expressionlessly, his eyes sweeping over the four monsters.

Four third-level monsters, what a big deal.

The monster wave that nearly destroyed Wuling City consisted of only three third-level monsters.

Now there are four of them appearing here at once.

These four third-level monsters are comparable to warriors in the Zhenyuan realm. Even if the world's geniuses encounter them, they will be extremely troublesome.

"Third-third level monster!"

Meng Wanjun's voice trembled a little.

Apart from Su Mu, the only Taiping Colonel here is Meng Wanjun, and the rest are just Taiping Commandants.

Facing the third-level monster, the only one who was truly capable of fighting was Su Mu.

Even Meng Wanjun was only a martial artist at the Transcendence Realm, and even among the martial artists at the Transcendence Realm, he was not even considered the top one.

No matter how powerful Su Mu is, facing four monsters of the same level...

Meng Wanjun has seen their end.

I'm afraid today is the day for them to sacrifice their lives for the country.

Everyone held their swords tightly and looked forward with resolute expressions.

"Only four?"

At this moment, Su Mu suddenly took two steps forward and said coldly, "Just relying on four third-level monsters, you want to keep Su here. You are too dismissive of the value of the world's genius."

Before he finished speaking, there was an explosion under Su Mu's feet.

A deep pit appeared on the ground, and Su Mu's figure appeared several feet away.

The Thunder Blade in his hand suddenly burst into flames, the long sword swept through the air, and with a strike, a strong wind blew.

boom!
A third-level monster was knocked to the ground by a giant fiery red tripod that appeared out of nowhere.

Su Mu changed his position and swept his knife across the neck of another third-level monster.

When the huge demon head was thrown high into the sky, Su Mu had already stepped into the air and appeared in another direction.

Swish!
The Thunder Blade flew out of his hand and nailed the claw of a monster to the ground.

As the monster screamed, Su Mu was already above his head.

The sword flashed and pierced into the monster's skull, and the blood instantly dyed the ground red.

With a loud bang, the monster's body fell to the ground.

There were four third-level monsters, but in the blink of an eye, only the last one was left.

Meng Wanjun and others were stunned and their blood boiled.

They knew that Su Mu was strong, but they didn't expect that Su Mu was so strong.

The third-level monster was like a fragile child in his hands and had no power to fight back.

The last remaining third-level monster showed fear in its eyes.

It whimpered in its throat, dug its claws into the ground, and slowly backed away.

Su Mu slowly wiped the sword clean on the monster's fur and his eyes fell on the only remaining third-level monster.

The third-level monster subconsciously took a step back.

Meng Wanjun and others looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

The last moment they were surrounded by monsters, and in the blink of an eye, it was the monsters who were surrounded by them?
Su Zhenfu made the ferocious and powerful third-level monster retreat with just a look?

"Su Zhenfu, it's trying to escape!"

Meng Wanjun said loudly.

He was eager to try. If he did not lack the strength, he would have rushed forward and captured the third-level monster long ago.

But he knows his own limitations and his ability, so he can only cheer on from the sidelines.

Su Mu seemed not to have heard Meng Wanjun's words. He just stood there motionless, allowing the third-level monster to turn around and escape into the forest.

Meng Wanjun and others looked at Su Mu in confusion.

Why let this third-level monster escape?
“Play the long game and catch the big fish.”

Su Mu said lightly.

"Is there anyone behind these four monsters?"

A Taiping captain said in surprise.

Meng Wanjun glared at him. What a disgrace! Isn't it obvious?
If they were wild monsters, would they unite like this to besiege us?
This is obviously a trap.

In fact, he was a little confused in his heart. Who in Xiangzhou was so bold as to plot against the Taiping Division?

The key point is that the other party can actually control monsters.

"Follow."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

Now that we have fallen into the opponent's trap, we can only move forward.

Now Su Mu didn't even dare to let Meng Wanjun and the others leave first, for fear of being divided and attacked by the other side.

Just as everyone started moving, they suddenly stopped at the same time.

Everyone's eyes were staring straight ahead with painful expressions on their faces.

Su Mu stood in front of the team, his long sword pointed diagonally at the ground, a light flashing in his pupils.

Fu Qingzhu. Fu Qingzhu, the pacification envoy of the Taiping Division of Xiangzhou.

He appeared on the mountain path, standing there holding a long knife, his eyes gray, staring at everyone indifferently.

Fu Qingzhu's brocade and black shirt was stained with blood, and the embroidered words on the chest could no longer be seen.

Everyone's heart sank.

So much blood definitely doesn't belong to Fu Qingzhu. It's obvious whose it is.

There was still a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts, but now, that glimmer of hope has been completely shattered.

Fu Qingzhu has also been possessed by a demon. I'm afraid he was the one who personally led the massacre of the people in this mountain village.

"Master Fu, he——"

Meng Wanjun's voice trembled and his fists clenched.

Fu Qingzhu has reached the peak of the True Yuan Realm. Once he is possessed by the devil, his strength may increase dramatically.

Su Zhenfu, can you still save Lord Fu?

In this situation, even if the evil spirit in Fu Qingzhu is eliminated, what about the innocent people who died at his hands?
Meng Wanjun and others were all in a state of confusion.

Su Mu was only sad for a moment, and then his heart returned to peace.

Looking at Fu Qingzhu, Su Mu slowly drew out the Thunder Blade.

Fu Qingzhu can almost be regarded as the second in command of Xiangzhou Taiping Division, and his strength is second only to Li Tingkui.

He had served as the Pacification Commissioner of the Taiping Division for many years. Before he was possessed by the devil, Su Mu did not dare to say that he could defeat him, let alone now that Fu Qingzhu has been possessed by the devil.

The speed of practicing the magic path has always been much faster than the normal martial arts.

Once a warrior is possessed by a demon, his strength will increase dramatically in a short period of time.

With Fu Qingzhu's background and talent, once he is possessed by the devil, he will most likely break through to the Jindan realm in the shortest possible time.

Su Mu didn't have the slightest hope in his heart.

Although Fu Qingzhu is not a genius of the time, he is at least thirty or forty years older than Su Mu and has practiced for decades more. Even if he is only at the peak of the True Yuan Realm, his strength before he became a demon is not inferior to that of a genius of the time.

The current aura of Fu Qingzhu is so strong that Su Mu has never seen it before in his life.

He even suspected that Fu Qingzhu was now capable of fighting against Li Tingkui.

Fu Qingzhu looked at Su Mu with his gray eyes, which were extremely cold and without any emotion.

Judging from his expression, he no longer recognized Su Mu, nor Meng Wanjun and his former subordinates.

Clang!
Fu Qingzhu drew his sword from its sheath, and instantly black mist filled the air.

The air temperature around them dropped several degrees in an instant, and a layer of white frost quickly appeared on the ground.

The white frost quickly spread towards the direction where Su Mu and others were.

Meng Wanjun and others couldn't help but retreat, feeling the bone-chilling cold and shivering all over.

Su Mu snorted coldly, stepped on the ground, and a flame suddenly rose up.

The bone-chilling cold was instantly dispelled.

"You go first."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

Before, he didn't dare to separate from Meng Wanjun and others because he was afraid that Meng Wanjun and others would be defeated one by one.

Now, he no longer cares about that.

Fu Qingzhu's strength is unfathomable, and he may not be able to cope with it.

Now that Ao Qing has fallen into a deep sleep, the only thing he can rely on is his own strength.

Facing Fu Qingzhu, who was very likely to have broken through to the Jindan stage, he was more than capable of protecting himself, but he was unable to protect Meng Wanjun and others.

Under the current circumstances, Meng Wanjun and others can only rely on themselves.

As for whether there were any enemies around, Su Mu was powerless.

Fortunately, Meng Wanjun is still the Taiping Captain, so he still has the ability to respond.

boom!
It's too late, but it's soon.

The ground under Fu Qingzhu's feet exploded, and he leaped high into the air and chopped down with a knife.

In an instant, a blade light several meters long appeared in the air and fell towards Su Mu at lightning speed.

Before the knife arrived, the violent energy had already blown Su Mu's clothes.

Ding!
Su Mu blocked with his sword.

The two knives collided, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.

In an instant, Su Mu's legs sank into the bluestone up to his knees.

Circles of spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground, centered on where Su Mu fell.

A strange blush flashed across Su Mu's face, and Fu Qingzhu was also knocked back high by the recoil force.

He was in the air, and he exerted force from his waist, kicked a big tree hard, and stabbed towards Su Mu like lightning.

Su Mu's reaction was also extremely fast. He pulled his feet out of the bluestone, and a fire dragon suddenly rose above the blade.

The fire dragon entangled with the wind and turned into a giant three-legged tripod, which crashed into the tip of Fu Qingzhu's knife.

Crackling!

A dark thunder burst out from the blade of Fu Qingzhu and collided with the three-legged tripod.

With a slight sound, the three-legged cauldron shattered, and the dark thunder turned into electric snakes and dissipated in the air.

The artistic conception of thunder!

Fu Qingzhu's thunderous state of mind had obviously become demonic, and was evenly matched with Su Mu's vision.

Visions are indeed at a higher level than artistic conception, but their power may not necessarily be greater than artistic conception.

It mainly depends on who uses it.

Su Mu is in the Zhenyuan realm, while Fu Qingzhu is already in the Jiedan realm.

Although he used a vision, he was unable to suppress Fu Qingzhu's thundering mood.

The gap between realms can be made up by using martial arts.

But there is a limit to the compensation.

In fact, if Su Mu had not mastered the vision, the collision just now would not have been a draw, but he would have been seriously injured and retreated.

"Don't leave yet!"

Su Mu noticed from the corner of his eye that Meng Wanjun and others were still standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but shout.

As he was speaking, Fu Qingzhu pounced on him again.

Su Mu didn't dare to be distracted and responded with full concentration.

Meng Wanjun and others smiled bitterly in their hearts.

They also knew that if they stayed, they would be useless except holding Su Mu back, so they also wanted to evacuate and seek reinforcements.

But they can't leave.

In the distance, the third-level monster that had just escaped appeared quietly, staring at them hungrily.

Su Mu killed the third-level monsters like slaughtering chickens and dogs, but they really couldn't beat the third-level monsters.

"Meng Tou'er, what should we do?"

A Taiping captain said nervously.

"I'll hold it hostage, and you guys go back to the state capital to ask for help!"

Meng Wanjun said in a deep voice.

Su Zhenfu is now entangled by the possessed Lord Fu and certainly cannot take care of them.

But there are still several pacification envoys in the provincial government. As long as they go back and ask for help, they will definitely be able to resolve this crisis.

The problem now is that I don’t know if I can hold back this third-level monster!
Meng Wanjun gripped the knife handle tightly. He had to do it even if it meant doing it.

"go!"

He shouted loudly, then rushed forward with his knife in hand.

"Ask for help, only one person is enough, kill!"

A Taiping captain said, and rushed forward immediately after Meng Wanjun.

In a breath, all the Taiping captains rushed forward, leaving only one who was slow to react and remained where he was.

He looked at his comrades who rushed forward, his face filled with shame and guilt. Damn it!

How come you rush so fast!
Don't die, wait for me to come back!

The Taiping Captain held back his tears, gritted his teeth and rushed in another direction.
