Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 79 - The Prefectural Magistrate’s Daughter Marries a Rat!

Situ Qing and others were happily eating and drinking, as if they were fully integrated into the atmosphere.

Demon Slayers, who are constantly at enmity with monsters and often risk their lives, naturally wouldn’t refuse such enjoyment.

Qin Zheng also didn’t hesitate, hungrily eating the meat dishes, which quickly digested and turned into streams of heat flowing into his body.

However, everyone tacitly decided to only eat the dishes and not drink any alcohol.

Although before starting, they had all taken a specially made Detoxification Pill by Demon Slayers, fearing no foul play in the food or drink.

But alcohol could numb the nerves, dulling their senses and weakening their swiftness with the sword!

This was not an advantage, but rather a deadly disadvantage that could cost them their lives if they were not careful!

Seeing everyone in this state, Xu Mushan’s expression also relaxed and was no longer so tense.

These Demon-Slaying Colonels of Cam Ren were only at this level, not much stronger than his own constables.

Thinking this, he also casually took his seat.

“Inspector Xu, why not tell us why there is demonic energy on you?”

Just then, an untimely voice rang out, instantly quieting the entire room.

Xu Mushan felt a jolt like electricity flashing down his spine, and he jerked his head toward the source of the voice.

He saw the young Colonel who had been quietly eating meat all this while, now looking in his direction.

As he spoke, the other Colonels who had been focusing on their dishes turned their gaze toward him, eyes filled with caution and scrutiny.

Was this young Colonel the leader of these Demon-Slaying Colonels?!

That thought suddenly flashed through Xu Mushan’s mind.

He had previously thought it was Situ Qing, who looked a bit older, but now it seemed that this one was the leader!

Immediately after, he forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart, and with a smile, he said, “The Colonel is joking.”

He then gestured for the serving maids in the room to leave.

Once only a few constables and all the Demon-Slaying Colonels remained, he continued, “Rat infestation has broken out in Kaiyuan Prefecture, and as the prefectural office’s inspector, I naturally had to inspect each location personally, unavoidably encountering Rat Monsters in the process.”

“It seems quite normal to have some traces of demonic energy on me, doesn’t it?”

Xu Mushan looked at Qin Zheng, innocently stating his case.

Situ Qing and others frowned slightly upon hearing this; the explanation seemed reasonable, but…something felt off.

Qin Zheng nodded and then said, “We have visited nearly ten places affected by rat infestations and killed more than twenty Rat Monsters.”

“We found that the demonic energy on these Rat Monsters was extremely faint, almost non-existent, yet the demonic energy on Inspector Xu is even stronger than on those Rat Monsters.”

“To have such strong demonic energy just by fighting Rat Monsters is unlikely; one must be regularly in the company of monsters to attain it!”

As Qin Zheng uttered these words, his eyes locked onto Xu Mushan, his powerful aura rising, intimidating the inspector!

Hearing this, Situ Qing and others suddenly realized the significance.

Yes!

The demonic energy on these Rat Monsters was incredibly thin, almost non-existent!

Otherwise, they would not have nearly let that man-eating Rat Monster escape in front of Laifu Inn!

To get imbued with demonic energy, one must be regularly with monsters!

In an instant, everyone’s eyes turned toward Xu Mushan.

The atmosphere in the room immediately became tense!

Hearing Qin Zheng’s words, Xu Mushan’s expression slightly stiffened, then slowly grew darker.

He looked around at everyone and said, “You have already eradicated the rat infestation in Kaiyuan Prefecture today and can go back to report and receive your rewards.”

“If this continues…”

A Grandmaster Realm aura suddenly erupted from Xu Mushan!

The robust vitality flared up like a vigorous blaze, making it difficult to look directly!

Just then, a figure stood up and, like a phantom, rushed out, instantly appearing behind him.

Before he could react, a palm struck down, immediately knocking him unconscious.

The rising momentum was abruptly interrupted at that moment, leaving everyone looking at each other in puzzlement.

The accompanying constables, initially ready to draw their swords in violence, also had to put down their blades at that moment.

Jokingly, their Grandmaster Realm boss just got knocked out with one palm strike—what could they, mere physical trainees, possibly do?

“Let’s go to the prefectural office.

Something is off with this Kaiyuan Prefecture office,” Qin Zheng said as he grabbed Xu Weisan by the collar and lifted him up, addressing Situ Qing and others.

Situ Qing and the others looked solemn and nodded.

If it were just isolated rat infestations, it might have been manageable, but involvement with the prefectural office suggested something more serious.

But seeing Qin Zheng, they also felt a strong sense of security.

A Grandmaster-level expert who could knock someone unconscious on a whim—such dominance and power were beyond their previous imagination.

“I’ll send a message to General Wang first,” said Xin Yi.

Qin Zheng nodded, then turned to the restless constables and commanded, “Lead the way!”

Several constables immediately stood up in sincere trepidation, leading the way for the group.

Before long, they arrived in front of the prefectural office, guarded by two nearly two-meter-tall stone lions, one on each side of the entrance, looking mighty and fearsome!

In the center, the vermillion gate seemed especially thick and formidable.

This was the Kaiyuan Prefecture’s prefectural office!

The group didn’t delay at all; led by the constables, they pushed open the gates of the prefectural office and walked inside.

The prefectural office covered a vast area, not only serving as the administrative hub of the prefecture but also as the residence of the prefectural magistrate.

As Qin Zheng entered the office, he immediately smelled an even stronger demonic energy!

Although it seemed that some method had been used to conceal it amidst a strange fragrance of flowers, it could not elude his Grandmaster Realm senses!

Indeed, there was something amiss with the prefectural office of Kaiyuan Prefecture!

At this moment, the constables stopped, knelt on the ground before Qin Zheng, and begged for mercy, “Your Excellency, we can only lead you here, we cannot go further, we would die!”

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and barked, “Scram!”

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

The constables immediately ran out of the main gate.

Qin Zheng then looked at Situ Qing and the others.

Apart from Xin Yi who had gone to deliver a message, the rest—Wu Meng, Zou Xi, and Liu Yi—were also present.

He immediately said, “Guard this main gate well, no one is allowed to leave!”

With that, he employed his Qinggong and, like a phantom, dashed deeper into the prefectural office.

Under his Mental Induction, he could sense that with the arrival of him and his associates, a man and a woman deep inside the office seemed to be rapidly fleeing!

As he flew like a shadow, reaching the residence of the prefectural magistrate, he immediately saw an old man with white hair and beard, sitting alone under the moonlight sipping tea.

The demonic energy on this prefectural magistrate was even denser!

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Seeing him arrive, the old man remained calm, as if he hadn’t seen the constable Xu Mushan that Qin Zheng was holding.

“You must be the Grandmaster not from the Five Great Deputy Generals of Cam Renp, and considering the recent rise in your fame, you must be Qin Zheng, Young Master Qin?”

Prefectural Magistrate Zhang Kaiyuan regarded Qin Zheng with a steady gaze and spoke.

Qin Zheng casually tossed Xu Mushan at Zhang Kaiyuan’s feet and said, “For the chief official of a prefecture to consort with monsters, if word got out, it would be a laughingstock.”

“We’ve already reported the situation here and disclosed the location of the Rat Monster; perhaps you may be dealt with more leniently.”

Upon hearing this, a flicker of hesitation crossed Zhang Kaiyuan’s eyes, but he eventually shook his head and said, “I am not clear about what you are talking about.”

“Besides, Cam Renp has only the authority to slay demons and must not interfere with the domestic affairs of the officials of Great Jin!”

“If you leave now, I will not hold you accountable, but if you do not, I shall have the Provincial Governor severely punish you!”

Upon hearing this, a chill settled in Qin Zheng’s eyes.

This old fool refuses wine only to be forced to drink fines, still using the Gao Clan to threaten him?

“I gave you a chance, and you didn’t take it!”

Qin Zheng spoke coldly.

Then, his shape shifted like a shadow and disappeared from the spot.

With his current speed and spiritual power, the man and woman who had just left were like two lamps in the dark!

How could they possibly escape his pursuit?!

The reason he had stopped to speak with the prefectural magistrate was because, in his Mental Induction, he had sensed something that made him hesitant, thus leaving Situ Qing and the others at the main gate while he approached alone to gauge the old man’s attitude.

Unfortunately…

concern leads to chaos, this old man no longer possessed the wisdom of a prefectural magistrate!

Seeing Qin Zheng disappear in an instant, especially in the direction that concerned him the most,

he immediately disregarded his image, stood up, and shouted loudly, “I’ll talk!

I’ll talk!”

But by then, Qin Zheng was no longer listening, the location of the Rat Monster now vividly clear in his Mental Induction.

What need was there for the old man’s words anymore?

Whoosh!!

He shot through the night like a black shadow-arrow.

With his Qinggong, he quickly left the prefectural office, stepping on buildings, rapidly closing in on the two auras sensed in his induction.

The middle-tier martial arts Skystep Cloudsurging Technique was much faster than the lower-tier martial arts technique, Jinchan’s Escaping Shell!

Before long, two figures appeared vaguely in sight, a man carrying a woman rapidly heading out of Kaiyuan Prefecture!

Qin Zheng sheathed his sword, drew his bow, notched an arrow, aimed at his target, and released!

Boom!!

Following a flash of light, the air exploded with the sound of thunder.

And that arrow swiftly pierced through the running man’s leg.

Thump!

The man’s lower leg burst open, and he instantly fell to the ground.

“Qing’er!

Qing’er!”

The handsome-faced man, now oblivious to the injury on his leg, looked panic-stricken at the woman who had also fallen.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a sharp Ghost Head Greatsword was already placed upon his neck.

Qin Zheng looked at the man whose lower leg he had shot through, and at the delicate-looking woman lying on the ground.

His eyes slightly focused, he barely perceptibly sighed.

This man’s body emitted a thick demonic energy; clearly, he was a monster that had taken human form!

And the demonic energy from the woman was emanating from her abdomen!

The daughter of the prefectural magistrate was indeed pregnant with a demon’s child!
