Chapter 111: Demons And Monsters Alike Must Be Killed!

For an ordinary Government Office, the monster attack was a huge disaster.

At this time, a blood-stained Liu Jian rushed into the study and shouted to Nie Xu, who was still writing.

"Governor, the situation is not good! A monster has rushed into the Government Office and killed a lot of people. Governor, you must escape"

"As the Constable, why are you so panicked?"

Nie Xu raised his head and glanced at the former, before looking back down.

The calmness of the other party made Liu Jian's inner panic calm down a bit.

"Governor"

However, seeing Nie Xu's unhurried appearance, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

How could he still be in the mood to write?

Even if the other party was an ordinary person and was almost certain to die in the face of a monster, he can't just wait for death.

Thinking up to here, Liu Jian was about to rush over and drag Nie Xu to escape, when

"Silence!"

Nie Xu loudly shouted, which reverberated in Liu Jian's ears and made his body freeze in place.

Immediately after, Nice Xu's voice softened a bit.

"Constable Liu doesn't have to panic. This Official is the Governor of Jin City. There is no reason to be afraid and abscond. You are seriously injured right now, so how about you rest for a while."

"Governor, the longer you stay here, the more dangerous it is. You'd better retreat first."

Liu Jian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his voice still anxious.

Nie Xu lightly smiled, still holding the pen in his hand and continued writing.

"Now that the demons are dead set on disrupting Jin City, even if this Official retreats, where can I go?" 

As he spoke, he took another piece of white paper and began writing again.

Ten years to sharpen a sword!

Never-melting frost!

While writing, Nie Xu said calmly.

"For more than 300 years since the founding of the Great Qin, the demons have brought disaster till to this day. I used to want to be a Cultivator. Using my sword, as I travel the world, cutting off the demons and injustices in the world."

Today I will show you the king!'

Another line of poetry was written.

At this time, a gust of wind blew outside the window, and a chilly aura rushed from all directions. It made Liu Jian feel chilled to his bones.

But now, in his eyes, Nie Xu seemed to be different from the past.

It seemed that there was a warm aura on the other party's body, fighting against the cold and gloomy aura, making Liu Jian involuntarily get closer to Nie Xu.

"Later, I realized that the power of one person can't remove all of the injustices in the world, let alone all of the monsters. That's why I decided to get a post and become an Official. I only hope to use my skills to benefit the people."

"Now that demons want to mess with my Jin City, this Official must let them understand that with this Official here, no evil is allowed to run rampant!" 

As his words sounded, the last sentence of the poem on the white paper had also been written.

Fairness and just!

There seemed to be a faint blue light glowing on the white paper, and the momentum of Nie Xu's body had also become completely different.

At this time, a monster with a rotting face and a blood-stained body had walked in from the door.

Cold wind swept through the study, and the oil lamp on the table was instantly blown out.

However, despite the oil lamp being extinguished, the room was not plunged into darkness.

The light on the white paper became more and more intense, giving people a warm feeling.

Meanwhile, Liu Jian had a shocked look on his face.

The situation in front of him was completely beyond his expectations.

From what he knew about Nie Xu, the other party was clearly just a scholar. When did he have such a skill?

As Liu Jian was shocked, Nie Xu looked at the monster in front and his calm eyes became sharp.

"Demons and monsters alike must be killed!"

Show the path to Righteousness!

His voice was akin to that of a bell.

Nie Xu waved his pen. The font on the paper emitted a strong glow, which finally gathered together to form a huge "Cut" (Chinese) character.

At that moment, a sword appeared in the study.

"Go!"

Nie Xu shouted coldly. The character instantly turned into a weapon that slashed towards the monster.

Wherever the sword passed, the pervading Evil Aura would dissipate.

The monster only had time to let out a piercing scream, before it was cut down by the sword.

"Ah" 

The monster's body dissipated like smoke. It was only after the light disappeared, that the study suddenly fell into darkness.

Liu Jian still stood stiffly and hadn't recovered.

After a while, Nie Xu's slightly weak voice sounded.

"Constable Liu, please light the lamp!"

"Yes"

Liu Jian hurriedly turned around to find a fire starter and lit the oil lamp.

The study room became bright again.

With the help of the light, Liu Jian saw Nie Xu sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, his calm face seemed a little paler.

"Governor, are you okay?"

Liu Jian asked cautiously.

The sense Nie Xu gave him was completely different now.

Such a powerful attack and feat of killing the monster with one blow, all showed his prowess.

"I'm fine."

Nie Xu opened his eyes and shook his head slightly.

Hearing this, Liu Jian's panicking heart finally settled. He then recalled what just happened and couldn't help showing a curious look.

"Excuse my presumptuousness Governor, but what technique did you just use? Could it be the Astral Qi of an Innate Realm expert, as it was able to kill the monster with one blow!?"

"Astral Qi?"

Nie Xu laughed dumbly and shook his head.

"That's just a Scholar's Righteousness. It's very different from a Cultivator's methods."

He couldn't help, but secretly sigh.

With Righteousness in him, he could kill monsters.

Unfortunately, his skill was not good enough. He couldn't just open his mouth and then kill a monster, like a Great Scholar can. Instead, he needed to first calm himself and slowly draw the power out.

Nonetheless, Nie Xu was very satisfied with this result.

There were so many scholars in the world, and only a small part of them could really Cultivate a sense of Righteousness.

Those who can kill monsters with awe-inspiring Righteousness were even rarer.

"How is the situation now?"

Nie Xu asked.

Hearing this, Liu Jian's expression darkened a bit.

"The monster suddenly attacked the Government Office, and many brothers died at its hands. If I was a little less stronger, I would have also died."

"Alas!"

Nie Xu sighed.

He had already expected what Liu Jian said.

"Governor, what should we do now?"

"For now, don't act rashly. Clean up all of the bodies of our sacrificed colleagues, and wait until tomorrow to deal with them."

Nie Xu said calmly.

He didn't ask Liu Jian to inform the Black Tiger Army and the Demon Suppression Division.

Since demons were attacking right now, there should be other demons outside the Government Office.

The Barbarian attack was obviously in cooperation with the demons.

The demons wanted to disturb Jin City and create opportunities for the Barbarians.

The best way to make Jin City chaotic was to slaughter the Government Office. If the Officials were dead, then the situation and public opinion would not be suppressed. Panic will naturally form.

By that time, even if there was the Black Tiger Army, Jin City would be in chaos.

So, Nie Xu didn't dare to gamble.

Rather than letting Liu Jian go out to die, it was better to stay safe in the Government Office.

They will just wait till tomorrow, where people from the Black Tiger Army will come.

That was also when it was time to deal with the demons.

When Liu Jian heard this, he immediately retreated.

The injuries on his body were all simple skin injuries, nothing too serious. As for the bloodstains, most of them were splattered by his dead colleagues.

After Liu Jian left, Nie Xu took a deep breath and resumed writing.

Righteous Energy was equivalent to a spiritual attack.

Once released, the loss to his spirit was also not small.

If he wanted to use it again, he had to regenerate it.

Reading sagely articles and writing Confucian poetry were undoubtedly the best way to Cultivate Righteous Energy.

Outside the Government Office, it was still pitch dark.

On the roof of a certain place, a black-robed man blended in with the darkness around him. His green eyes peered coldly at the Government Office below.

To be precise, he looked at the study room.

At the moment when the monster died, he sensed the emergence of a surging power.

That kind of power, completely opposed the power of monsters.

"Righteous Energy!"

The black-robed man muttered, his face solemn.

"I didn't expect a small Governor in Jin City to have the rare Righteous Energy and could instantly kill a monster in the late stages of the Ghost Level. This method is indeed terrifying."

"This person is by no means simple and he may be qualified to become a Great Scholar!" 

The more familiar one was with the Book of Sages, the stronger their Righteousness that they can Cultivate.

Likewise, higher fame also represents the strength of one's Righteousness. Although it was not absolute, mistakes were rarely made.

According to the news, Nie Xu was just a normal scholar.

There were a lot of people in the world, but only a handful could Cultivate the mighty Righteousness.

Not just anyone could kill a monster of that level in one shot.

Hence, the black-robed man suspected that the other party was not as simple as he looked on the surface, and may even be comparable to an Advanced Scholar.

At that level, even a Grudge Level monster could be killed in one blow.

The black-robed man did not plan to take any risk, before he knew the true depth of Nie Xu's strength.

"Nie Xu's strength is not weak. If I were a Cultivator, I would not be afraid of his Righteous Energy, but now I borrow the power of demons. I'll just let the people of the Eternal Life Alliance do it!" 

The Eternal Life Alliance also had strong players in Jin City, and Hongyi was the strongest one.

With that strength, even if Nie Xu was really an Advanced Scholar, he would be dealt with easily.

A mere Nie Xu had no chance of contending with them.

After taking one last look at the Government Office's study, the black-robed man left.
