MTL - Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel-Chapter 22 [022] Puppet incarnation

   Chapter 22 [022] Puppet Incarnation

"Um?!"

   Seeing this strange situation, Ning Xiu couldn't help widening his eyes.

  As it shattered like a clay figurine, this monster completely lost its life and movement. Those who didn't know it could never imagine that this person was still talking a few breaths ago.

   Ning Xiu didn't care too much for a while, so he had to walk towards the scale armored monster first.

  The two of them are in a group, so they should know the details of the other monster.

   However, the Scaled Armored Monster would not sit still. When the monster's body shattered, he quickly climbed up after being knocked to the ground by Ning Xiu.

  A large amount of purple smoke spewed out from the gaps between the scales and armor on the whole body immediately, and began to fill the entire room.

  Ning Xiu quickly held his breath to prevent the purple smoke from being poisonous.

The appearance of the    purple smoke not only made Ning Xiu pay more attention to beware, but also affected his sight.

   After a while, the scale armored monster disappeared from Ning Xiu's field of vision.

   "I don't know where you, the eighth rank of martial arts, came from. If you dare to meddle in your own business, then prepare to die here."

   In the smoke, the voice of the scale armored monster slowly sounded.

   His voice was sometimes left and right, sometimes back and forth, far and near, extremely erratic.

  Ning Xiu couldn't tell the exact location of the opponent just by listening to the voice.

  Ning Xiu had to cross his arms in front of his face to prevent the demon from attacking his head.

   At the same time, he secretly performed the Spirit Eye Observation Technique, and suddenly a figure appeared in his eyes.

  咻!

   A black shadow came quickly and stabbed Ning Xiu's abdomen, it was the palm of the scaled monster.

   If it were an ordinary person, this time, the monster would probably have penetrated his body, but Ning Xiu’s golden bell had reached the ninth level, and he had no effect at all after being hit by the monster.

   "Huh?" The demon screamed in surprise, then quickly disappeared in place.

   Facing the elusive appearance of the Scaled Armored Demon, Ning Xiu didn't panic at all, and stood still as a mountain, silently waiting for the opportunity to come.

   With the help of the Spiritual Eye Observation Technique, a vague silhouette of a human figure can be clearly seen in Ziyan, which is the demon who was hiding with Ziyan.

   He thought he was perfect hidden in the purple smoke, but he didn't want to be quietly exposed in Ning Xiu's eyes.

one strike!

   As long as Ning Xiu can grab the body of the scale armored monster, the situation will be settled in an instant.

   "Your horizontal training is pretty good, but unfortunately you can only be beaten passively now. I want to see how many times your body can withstand my attacks." The demon said in Ziyan sullenly.

  Ning Xiu didn't respond, his whole body was tense, and he was ready to react as quickly as possible.

   There was a whistling sound in his ears, but it was the demon who moved and kicked his left face with a flying kick.

  Ning Xiu's eyes lit up, and he grabbed his hands to the left.

boom!

   The demon's ankle was already firmly held in his hand, motionless.

   "What?!" The Scaled Armored Monster was shocked, he never thought that Ning Xiu would be able to grab his leg precisely.

   Logically speaking, Ning Xiu should not see anything in the purple smoke.

   However, he had not been given a chance to think about too many things. With one move to capture the enemy, Ning Xiu did not hesitate at all, and directly poured his inner strength into his arms, and slammed the scale armored monster to the ground.

  Boom!

   There was a loud noise in the whole house, and the ground shook, which showed how fierce Ning Xiu's blow was.

   "Pfft!" The scale-armored monster couldn't resist such an attack at all, and he couldn't help but spray a blood mist, and the whole person was dying in the blink of an eye.

   dragged the monster's body out of the house, and Ning Xiu saw how miserable the scale-armored monster was at this time.

   I saw that the bones of his whole body were severely twisted, and the whole face was **** and horrible to see, and he was still on the verge of dying.

  Ning Xiu, relying on his internal strength, can easily swing a 320-pound drum and a golden hammer.

   Under the full force of the explosion, his strength can almost triple, and nearly a thousand pounds of vigor is blessed on the scale armored monster. If he can still be indifferent, then Ningxia can really go back to the championship camp to rebuild.

   "Tell me, what's wrong with your accomplice." Ning Xiu threw the monster's body on the ground and immediately asked him while holding his neck.

   "You, you must be the Demon Commander..." The Scaled Armored Monster looked at Ning Xiu, "I thought I was hiding enough in Wendeng County, but I didn't expect you to find out, cough!"

   The demon vomited blood, and his speech became intermittent.

   But even so, Ning Xiu could detect an inexplicable smile on his face.

"It's useless for you to find us today. The moment you choose to take action, you have already been exposed. That guy is vigilant and will never be caught by you again, and you can only watch Wen Deng County helplessly. People keep dying."

  Ning Xiu frowned: "Wendeng County is so close to Chaotian, how come you monsters have the courage to commit crimes in Wendeng County, maybe there is someone else behind them."

   "You won't know." The Scale Armored Monster left this sentence, and the whole person completely lost his breath.

  [Killing a monster, general proficiency +800]

   These half-fallen monsters are the most stubborn. Ning Xiu is already mentally prepared that he will not be able to ask clues from him, but he still has to try.

   Now a monster has been killed by himself. From the conversation between the two monsters in the house just now, we can know that the drowned ghost is their hands.

   As for the other demon, if Ning Xiu guessed correctly, that guy must still be alive and is now somewhere in Wendeng County.

   The man who just talked to the scaled monster should be just a puppet incarnation of that monster.

   A similar technique, Fanning Xiu, had also heard of it when he was in the champion camp.

   For example, the guys in the puppet road can turn the puppets they made into their incarnations through secret methods, and then control the puppets to go to various dangerous places to investigate the situation.

  The eyes can see what the puppet sees, and the ears can hear what the puppet hears, which is very mysterious.

There are three thousand avenues of   , each of which has its own uniqueness, making it difficult for the uninformed to guard against.

   The remaining monster at the moment has already discovered his existence, and the situation has instantly changed to the enemy in the dark and me in the light, which makes Ning Xiu quite helpless and can only make a long-term plan.

   walked back into the house, grabbed a tablecloth and wrapped the body of the scale armored monster, Ning Xiu carried the body away from the monster's residence and quickly returned to the county office.

  …

   Dong Fu's work efficiency was good, but within half a day, he had already ordered someone to investigate what Ning Xiu told him last night.

   When Ning Xiu carried the demon body back to the county office, he immediately handed over a thick list.

   "Master Ning, all the information you want is recorded on it." Dong Fu said.

  Wendeng County is located at the intersection of four post roads, and the traffic of tourists and merchants from south to north is huge.

   If you want to investigate these people, it is not easy to investigate, but if you investigate those outsiders who have lived in Wendeng County for half a month, it will greatly narrow the scope and make the investigation easier.

   The list that Dong Fu handed over to Ning Xiu recorded the foreigners who had been staying in Wendeng County for the past two weeks.

  Ning Xiu thought this trick would work yesterday, but since he found out that the mysterious monster could actually use a puppet incarnation, he immediately felt hopeless about it.

   Who would dare to say that the demon would not kill a local and then disguise himself as a local with a puppet.

   But the slimness returned to the slimness, Ning Xiu still put the corpse of the monster on the ground and carefully checked the list page by page.

   At this moment, Ning Xiu noticed a name among the many names.

  The county magistrate of Wendeng County, Lu Dengke.

  Because of Huang You's relationship, Ning Xiu still had some impressions of the existence of this new county magistrate.

  According to records, this county magistrate was transferred from a foreign town to Wendeng County two weeks ago, and for this reason, the old magistrate in this county, that is, Huang Youhe’s father, was deliberately squeezed out.

   This made Huang You complain all the time about it.

   "By the way, Master Dong, this new county chief has been in Wendeng County for half a month, why haven't I seen him in the yamen?" Ning Xiu asked in confusion.

Dong Fu immediately shook his head: "Speaking of this new county magistrate, he is also a weirdo, except after he came to the yamen to report on the first day, I never saw him again, I really can't figure out what happened. Will transfer such a guy to Wendeng County, in terms of conscientiousness, Huang County Prime Minister can do much better."

   "Not showing up for half a month..." Ning Xiu pondered in his heart, so it seems that this person is very suspicious.

   "Master Dong, I plan to go to the residence of the new county chief. Please find a catcher to show me the way."

   Dong Fu nodded and said: "It's a small matter, then let Fang Zhukuai from last time follow you."

   "This is the monster I just caught outside. Please deal with it, Sir Dong, and cremate it directly." Ning Xiu pointed to the corpse wrapped in a tablecloth on the ground.

   Dong Fu was startled secretly after hearing this, how long has this talent been out before killing a demon?

   Could this be the efficiency of the Demon Commander? Really long experience.

   "Master Ning's skills are extraordinary, and the lower officials admire it." Dong Fu said sincerely.

  Fang Ping was one of the few acquaintances of Ning Xiu in the yamen. Under his guidance, Ning Xiu soon came to the Lu residence in the county.

   is also the mansion where the Lu Xiancheng lived.

   "Lord Ning, why are your clothes torn?" Fang Ping couldn't help asking, looking at the scars on Ning Xiu's abdomen.

  Ning Xiu looked down and saw that it was the damage left when the scaled monster attacked his abdomen before.

  Although he has a golden bell hood, his body will not be damaged, but his clothes are not so scratch-resistant, and battle damage has appeared again.

   This made Ning Xiu very helpless. In less than half a month, he had already changed no less than five sets of clothes, which was more than what he had changed in a year in the championship camp before.

   "Nothing, a little damaged." Ning Xiu replied.

   Under Fang Ping's notice, the doorman of the Lu Mansion quickly found the old butler of the Lu Mansion and asked him to receive Ning Xiu and the two.

   "Two people please, my master has been unwell recently and may not be able to come to see the two of you. If there is something in the yamen, you can tell me, and I will tell the master at that time."

  Fang Ping said: "What's the problem for half a month and still can't be cured."

   "Master has always been frail and sick, alas." The old butler sighed.

  Ning Xiu said: "Take me to see Lu Xiancheng."

   "This..." The old butler suddenly hesitated.

  Fang Ping immediately shouted: "The magistrate has explained it, the orders of this lord can represent him, you can't lead the way quickly."

   "If that's the case, then the two of you please." Hearing what Fang Ping said, the old housekeeper was forced to accept it.

   I believe that even if the master is angry, he should not blame himself.

   The three walked through the corridors and pavilions, and soon approached the backyard. The silence was inexplicably infiltrating, and Ning Xiu quietly performed the Spiritual Eye Observation Technique.

   But everything is normal in front of him, and there are no traces of evil spirits.

   Soon, the three of them came to the door of a wing.
