boom!
  A loud noise came suddenly!
  The guard felt his eyes flash as a figure descended from the sky!

Then, a sharp sword light lit up.

"Puff puff--"

Almost instantly, all the skinned puppets remaining at the city gate were wiped out.

The guard opened his eyes and looked at the figure descending from the sky, with tears of joy and excitement in his eyes. He opened his mouth weakly and said:
  "grown ups……"

Liu Laodao flew over with a solemn expression, quickly came to the guard, helped the guard up from the ground, quickly took out the healing elixir and fed it to the guard, but it leaked out before it was fed in, because...the intestines were gone. .

Liu Laodao hugged the guard and shook his head towards the young man with a gloomy expression.

With a serious expression on his face, Chen Yan came to the guard and squatted on one knee.

"grown ups……"

The guard showed a sad smile:
  "It's not good for my subordinates to defend the city..."

"It's not your fault."

Chen Yan raised his hand to stop what the guard was going to say next, and then asked:
  "How many skinned puppets have entered the city?"

"No less than a hundred heads..."

The guard's gray face showed a gloomy look.

Chen Yan's heart sank, but his face was calm and calm, and he opened his mouth and said:

"I understand, you can rest in peace and recover, I will handle this matter myself."

"Hey... Sir, there is no need to comfort this subordinate. I know that I can't survive."

The guard showed a sad smile, and then struggled up from Liu Laodao's arms like a flashback. His only blood-stained arm tightly held the young man's arm, and asked with hope in his eyes:

"Sir, can Shanxi Town... be defended?"

Liu Laodao was silent. Even Yuantong, Wu Guhan and others who were rushing down the mountain couldn't help but turn their heads and look elsewhere.

Seeing the expressions of several people, the guard seemed to understand something. The hope in his eyes gradually dissipated, revealing a trace of despair.

Suddenly, a young man's cold and unwavering voice sounded.

"Can hold it."

The guard's eyes immediately rekindled hope and looked at the young man in front of him.

I saw the young man's expression was calm and his eyes were firm:
  "As long as I, Chen Yan, am alive, Shanxi Town cannot be broken."

Hearing these words, a joyful smile appeared on the guard's gray face. He opened his mouth to thank him, but in the end, nothing was said. One hand dropped weakly, but there was a smile on his face.

"he died."

Liu Laodao said in a low voice.

Chen Yan nodded, his expression unchanged, but his tone became colder:

"Deng Hong."

"The humble position is here!"

"I order you to gather all the young men in the city. Anyone above sixteen and below forty-five must obey the order, close the city gates, and defend the city!"

"Yes!"

Deng Hong looked solemn and took the order and left.

"Zhao Gang."

"My subordinate is here!"

"I order you to lead the government officials to collect all the blood of black dogs and roosters in the city. It must be completed within half an hour!"

"I obey my orders!"

"Yutong, Wu Guhan."

"exist!"

"I order you two to lead a hundred crossbowmen and gather all the martial arts monks in the city who are qi, blood, and essence-nourished or above to encircle and destroy the skinned puppets in the city. If anyone refuses to obey, he will be killed without mercy!"

"As ordered!"

Yuantong licked his lips and said with a fierce light in his eyes.

The young man looked at Lin Wan and Feng Chan on the side and said, "I still need to trouble my two fellow Taoists to help me."

"Don't worry, sir. This is the responsibility of a person from Lingzhou."

Lin Wan replied solemnly.

Chen Yan nodded, and then shouted:
  "action!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded and took action one after another.

After a while, only Chen Yan and Liu Laodao were left at the city gate.

Chen Yan picked up the guard's body, silently dug a hole on the side of the road, and buried it.

Liu Laodao watched all this silently. It wasn't until the boy finished burying the guards that he couldn't help but say:
  "Are you really sure you can hold Shanxi Town?"

Chen Yan was silent and did not answer. Instead, he asked:
  "If we stand still and wait for help from the state government, how long will it take at least?"

“If we want to annihilate these ten thousand skinned puppets, at least the regular Lingzhou army must come out in full force.

It will take at least half a month..."

"Half a month..."

Chen Yan looked gloomy and nodded without saying anything else.

On the contrary, Liu Laodao's face suddenly became solemn, and he changed the topic:

"only……"

"Just what?"

"It's just that I suspect this is not a skinned puppet that can be created by simply using the "Skinning Method"."

Liu Laodao looked at the young man seriously:
  "Even if Zhang Yuanlin is a master of Qi control in the realm of refining Qi, he will never be able to refine ten thousand skinned puppets."

"You suspect someone else?"

Chen Yan looked at Liu Laodao.

Liu Laodao shook his head:

"Do not."

His expression suddenly became solemn, he looked at the young man, opened his mouth and spat out six words:

"I suspect it's a 'devil'..."

When he mentioned the word 'devil', a trace of fear even flashed in the depths of Liu Laodao's eyes!
  Before, even when facing Situ Yun and Zhan Yuming, even when he was surrounded by Zhang Yuanlin, Liu Laodao had never been afraid. But when he mentioned the word "devil", Liu Laodao, who was in the basic stage of Dao, actually showed a look of fear in his eyes.

"magic?"

Chen Yan frowned:
  "What is a demon?"

"The devil is a terrifying existence that is superior to ghosts and evil spirits."

Liu Laodao explained in a difficult tone:

"No matter how powerful ghosts and evil spirits are, they will eventually die, but demons are different. A complete 'devil'... cannot be killed."

"Immortal?"

Chen Yan frowned deeply.

Liu Laodao nodded with a heavy face: "Every perfect 'demon', even the masters of the immortal, Buddhist and Taoist sects can't do anything about. Therefore, every time the demon wave rages in a place, the court will often give up..."

"Isn't there some way?"

Chen Yan frowned and asked solemnly.

"Have!"

Liu Laodao nodded: "Unless there is a chance to eliminate the 'demon' before it has grown to a complete form, otherwise... once it grows into a complete form... there will be no way."

Chen Yan nodded, but he felt that it was definitely impossible if there was no way.

Being unable to eliminate it only proves that the strength is not strong enough. If the strength is strong enough, there is nothing that cannot be eliminated.

But Chen Yan's face didn't look good either, and he said in a deep voice:
  "You mean, there is a complete 'demon' in Shanxi Town? Are these ten thousand skinned puppets the demonic tide caused by this 'demon'?"

Liu Laodao nodded and shook his head:
  "The sudden appearance of 10,000 skinned puppets is probably caused by a 'demon' in the city, but this demon is probably not complete yet. Otherwise, the entire Shanxi Town would have been completely destroyed."

When he heard that the 'demon' hidden in Shanxi Town was not yet complete, Chen Yan's heart immediately dropped. Then he thought of something and asked immediately:

"Then if this 'demon' in the city is eliminated, these ten thousand skinned puppets will be self-defeating."

"Yes."

Liu Laodao nodded, then looked bitter:
  "But how easy is it? If you want to find this 'demon' in this huge city..."

"It's as difficult as climbing to the sky..."

As soon as Liu Laodao finished speaking, he was interrupted by the young man:
  "No!"

The young man's eyes flashed with lavender light, looking at Shanxi Town behind him, the light shone brightly:
  "I have a solution."
