Chapter 65

After easily dealing with the old turtle in the river, Sun Ran sped up and flew towards the county government office.

Although he had defeated one opponent, Sun Ran did not relax his vigilance. He could sense that the real enemy was still hiding in the shadows, waiting for him to make a mistake.

Before long, Sun Ran arrived above the city wall and saw the situation inside the city.

At this moment, the city was shrouded in gray smoke and filled with demonic aura. At least a dozen demons were causing chaos. These demonic beings were extremely cruel; they would either rip open a person's chest to eat their heart or tear their body apart to use as a temporary weapon, smashing and destroying everything around.

Blood, organs, and limbs were scattered everywhere, and the stench of blood rose to the sky. What had been a peaceful county was quickly turning into a hellish scene.

Sun Ran's pupils constricted, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. These destroyers, lacking any restraint, were indeed causing too much destruction. If you wanted to kill Yang Tingyong, just go and kill him. Why bother ordinary players who are just enjoying their peaceful lives? Have you been provoked?

They truly lack any sense of morality, completely lacking the rationality and tolerance of modern people. They should be kicked out of the game.

At this moment, a demon with a human body and a bull's head saw Sun Ran on the city wall and let out a wild moo. Then, it galloped with its hooves and charged at Sun Ran.

This bull demon was incredibly fast, its body surrounded by a faint greenish glow as it ran. It leaped thirty meters in one bound, and the blue bricks beneath its feet could not withstand the impact, shattering as if a bomb had been buried underneath.

"Powerful! This guy's demonic power is at least level 3.4!" Sun Ran thought with a chill.

According to the rules, for every 0.1 level increase, the data mobilization rate doubles. Therefore, a 0.1 level difference could mean a world of difference in strength.

Sun Ran had not expected that what was supposed to be a simple security mission against three minor demons would turn into such a significant change, with so many powerful opponents appearing.

It seemed that this time, the Poison Scorpion Mercenary Group had spared no expense.

Rumors had it that this mercenary group was vengeful, and few maintainers would dare to provoke them. Sun Ran had not only defeated the group's member, the Dragon King, but also placed him under the destructive thunder. Now it seemed that the guy was most likely completely destroyed, both body and soul, which was why such a large-scale retaliation had been triggered.

Exposing so many powerful demons at once offered no tangible benefits, so it could only be attributed to revenge.

Once he understood this, Sun Ran felt more confident. The other side had sent so many powerful demons, and it was clear that they were not just trying to kick him out of the game. That would be meaningless and not considered revenge. They must have a hidden, terrifying attack that could harm his physical body!

He was not afraid at all and was eager to see what kind of killing move they had in store.

The bull demon had already reached the base of the city wall and let out another roar. It leaped up, head lowered, and aimed its black-glowing horns at Sun Ran.

This demon had entered the virtual world in the form of a bull and had also cultivated in that form. These horns were likely its magical weapon, similar to the turtle shell of the dragon toad demon.

This time, with the lesson from the dragon toad demon, the game administrators were no longer worried about Sun Ran's safety.

Number Three had also arrived in Riverbank County. He was lying on the top floor of a tavern, using a scope to observe the confrontation from a distance, still looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

The demons in the city, unaware of the situation, saw the maintainer arrive and the bull demon charge forward, so they all stood by to watch the show.

The bull demon was known for its brute strength and extremely aggressive attack style. In the demons' minds, a mere Black Iron-level maintainer, if hit head-on by the bull demon, would surely end up as a bloody mess.

On the city wall, Sun Ran's slightly narrowed eyes opened, and he spread his hands, once again using the second-level Daoist technique: Dragon Trapping Diagram.

A large Taiji diagram appeared in the air, blocking the bull demon's path. It was not very large, much smaller than the one used at Wenxu River.

Seeing the obstruction ahead, the bull demon roared again, and the greenish demonic power in its body circulated even faster. In mid-air, its speed increased, and it charged into the Dragon Trapping Diagram.

The Taiji diagram, glowing with a watery light, was pushed inward like a rubber drum, but it did not break. It managed to withstand the third-level attack with second-level power.

Four ounces to move a thousand pounds! Sun Ran's Dragon Trapping Diagram was like the four ounces, while the bull demon's massive impact was the thousand pounds.

This thing could even make a 3.6-level dragon toad demon retreat, and the bull demon had foolishly charged in, trying to break through. Who else but it would die?

Sun Ran chuckled, spread his hands slightly, and the Dragon Trapping Diagram moved to wrap around the bull demon's body, binding it. The bull demon struggled desperately, trying to break free, but its internal magical power was rapidly drained, making it weaker with each struggle. Within half a minute, it surrendered.

"Die." Sun Ran clapped his hands, and the demonic power absorbed by the Dragon Trapping Diagram immediately counterattacked, compressing the bull demon's body.

"Moo!"

A short,惨烈的叫声从太极图中传出，持续了半秒，就被生生掐断。太极图的体积足足缩小了一倍多，里面的牛妖到底是什么情况，已经不言而喻了。

片刻后，太极图消失，一团黑色肉块从半空中掉落，又一个三级大妖被踢出游戏。

肉泥是有了，但肉泥的原材料不是维持者，而是破坏者。城中的妖怪全都寂静无声，静静地望着城墙上那个身穿布袍的年轻人，眼神中满是震惊。

一招之下，就将牛妖击杀，这力量超出了他们的想象。

城中的百姓也看到了这一幕，心中顿时生出大希望，纷纷大呼：“道长来收妖啦！”

“我认得这道长，昨晚上在凶宅驱鬼的就是他！”

“今天在河边除妖的也是他。”

“真仙人啊，我们得救了。”

众人都向孙然奔去，乞求庇护。

妖怪们则不知所措，三号也已经到达了河滨县，一看情况不对，立刻发布命令：“去十个人去增援县衙，尽快击杀杨庭用。另外五个留下，缠住这道士，最好能杀了他。”

一个不行，那就五个，他就不相信对方会始终不露破绽！

孙然站在城墙上，就看见五个妖怪一齐向他冲来。

这些妖怪，有狼妖、蛇妖、鹰怪等等，反正都是托畜生之形，悄悄潜入儒家世界的，原理和他曾经击杀的巨龙之王依托巨龙潜入巨龙时代差不多。

每一个妖怪都有三级以上的力量，有3.1级的，3.2级的，最高一个有3.5级，都是资深的大妖，五个一起围攻，总力量已经超过四级多多，成功地让孙然感到头疼了。

情况危机万分，嫦娥紧急联系孙然：“玫瑰树，能坚持住吗？我们已经在准备天罚了，六分钟后就会有雷霆落下。”

孙然苦笑：“问题倒是不大，就是我如果用上道术的话，威力比较大，恐怕会造成全城恐慌。到时会不会影响我的评价啊？”

嫦娥愕然，没想到在这危急关头，这家伙还在纠结这个东西，真是想钱想疯了。

她很快反应过来，从自己任务总监的权限出发，作出承诺：“只要你有本事保证杨庭用不死，城中百姓死亡人数在五百之内，我们保证给你一个传说级评价。你的队员，每人都是完美！这些三级大妖，每杀一个，额外奖励五千信用点！”

有这句话保证，孙然眼睛顿时亮了起来，他们的基础酬金是三万，要都得到高评价，那还不赚翻了。

“那好，我现在体内的法力只有二级，没法用高级道术，你给我充到三级，哦不，就四级吧，我好施放高级道术。”

法力不是权限，提高法力后，数据调动率不会变化，所以不涉及维持者等级的改变，但四级的法力却能让孙然更加自如地掌控高级道术。

如果将道术比作一块五十斤的斧头，那法力就是道士的力气，理论上五十斤的力气就能举起斧头，但想要挥动这斧头杀敌，那就是笑话。但如果有五百斤的力气，那挥舞起斧头来，就能圆转自如了。

游戏管理员立刻用行动回答，只一瞬间，孙然体内的法力就足足浑厚了百倍，达到四级，顿时就变得牛叉起来了。

孙然一笑，既然游戏管理员这么配合，那今天他要大显身手了！

A short, terrible scream came from the Taiji diagram, lasting only half a second before being abruptly cut off. The Taiji diagram shrank by more than half, and the state of the bull demon inside was clear.

A moment later, the Taiji diagram disappeared, and a black mass of flesh fell from the sky. Another level-three demon had been kicked out of the game.

The flesh was indeed turned to mush, but the raw material was not the maintainer but the destroyer. The demons in the city were all silent, quietly watching the young man in the robe on the city wall, their eyes full of shock.

With one move, he had killed the bull demon, a power that exceeded their imagination.

The citizens of the city also saw this scene and were filled with hope, shouting, "The Daoist is here to subdue the demons!"

"I recognize this Daoist; he exorcised the ghosts in the haunted house last night!"

"He also cleared the demons by the river today."

"He's a true immortal; we are saved."

Everyone rushed towards Sun Ran, begging for protection.

The demons were at a loss. Number Three had also arrived in Riverbank County and, seeing the situation, immediately issued an order: "Send ten people to reinforce the county government office and quickly kill Yang Tingyong. Another five stay here and keep this Daoist occupied, and try to kill him if possible."

If one wasn't enough, then five would be. He didn't believe that the opponent would never make a mistake!

Sun Ran stood on the city wall and saw five demons charging at him.

These demons included wolf demons, snake demons, and eagle monsters, all taking the form of animals to secretly infiltrate the Confucian world, similar to how the Dragon King had used a dragon to infiltrate the Dragon Era.

Each demon had a power level of at least three, ranging from 3.1 to 3.2, with the strongest at 3.5. They were all experienced, powerful demons. Together, their combined strength exceeded level four, making Sun Ran feel a headache.

The situation was extremely critical. Chang'e urgently contacted Sun Ran: "Rose Tree, can you hold on? We are preparing the heavenly punishment, and the thunder will strike in six minutes."

Sun Ran smiled bitterly: "It shouldn't be a problem, but if I use my Daoist techniques, the power will be significant, and it might cause panic in the city. Will that affect my evaluation?"

Chang'e was taken aback,
