"Captain Guo, when do you think he will make his move?"
Guo Qi frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he slowly said,"The wolf demon was seriously injured by Lord Lin some time ago, and it must not have fully recovered.
Judging from its cautious and cunning character, it will definitely choose a time that is most favorable to itself to launch an attack."
As he spoke, Guo Qi turned his head to look out the window, looking at the sky with a slightly meaningful look, and then casually asked Lu Ren,"Do you know what day it is today?"
Lu Ren thought for a while and replied,"July 14th."
As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and he realized something:"Tomorrow is the 15th, the night of the full moon!"
"That's right!"
Guo Qi nodded solemnly and said:
"On every full-moon night, the spiritual power in the wolf demon's body will be attracted by the moonlight and become extremely active, and its strength will also increase significantly.
If this wolf demon devours the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of people as a sacrifice at this moment, then it is very likely to use this powerful blood sacrifice power to achieve a continuous leap in realm, and directly advance from the late stage of spiritual communication to the magic realm!"
Hearing this, Lu Ren took a breath, his face full of solemnity, and said sternly:"We must not let it succeed!"
Guo Qi stared at Lu Ren and asked in a serious tone:"Are you really sure that you can kill this beast?"
Seeing that tomorrow night is the night of the full moon, Guo Qi's original plan was that even if he couldn't find any trace of the wolf demon, he would at all costs, even at the cost of his own life and property, request the Demon Suppression Division to send strong reinforcements to kill the wolf demon together.
Otherwise, if it completes the breakthrough, it will be a huge disaster for Huashui County, and countless innocent people will die.
Lu Ren nodded solemnly:"If he dares to show up tomorrow night, I will personally cut off his head!"
"In this case, I feel relieved.
Although he said so, Guo Qi still felt a little worried.
Is it really right to put all his hopes on Lu Ren alone?..........
After a few drinks, Lu Ren said goodbye and left first.
He wandered around the city casually for a while, and did not deliberately look for the trace of the wolf demon.
They had fought each other before, so the wolf demon could recognize him at a glance.
But he didn't know if the wolf demon would retaliate against him or escape again in secret once they met.
Unknowingly, Lu Ren came to the gate of the Shanyang County government office.
There happened to be a large number of people gathered here, and they seemed to be watching something.
Lu Ren squeezed in, intending to join in the fun.
When he got closer, he could see clearly that there were two officers holding water and fire sticks outside the gate of the county government office, beating a man with a cane.
The man looked embarrassed, his face was as pale as paper, his hair was messy, and the prison clothes he wore were already stained with blood.
At this moment, he was lying on two benches, constantly making extremely shrill cries for mercy, but the two officers showed no mercy. They kept hitting the man with sticks, and the man was beaten until his skin was torn and blood was flowing.
Seeing this, Lu Ren frowned slightly and asked a woman beside him,"Sister-in-law, what crime has this man committed?"
During the time he stopped, the man was hit by more than 20 sticks, not counting the previous ones.
The man looked like he was dying. If he continued to be beaten like this, he would be beaten to death.
The woman glanced at him casually and didn't want to pay attention to him.
But at this moment, she caught a glimpse of a silver coin lying in Lu Ren's outstretched palm, and a bright smile immediately broke out on her face.
She quickly glanced around, and after making sure that no one noticed this side, she stuffed the silver coin into her sleeve at lightning speed, and then said to Lu Ren with a smile:
"My Lord, you don't understand the situation. The crime this man committed is very serious! Even if he is beaten to death, it is not unjust!"
"Oh? What is the crime? Could it be murder and robbery?" Lu Ren asked curiously.
The woman shook her head repeatedly, lowered her voice, and whispered mysteriously in his ear:"He is simply worse than an animal!
Because his wife passed away a few years ago, he has achieved nothing and can't afford to go to brothels for fun, so he had evil thoughts and set his sights on his sixteen-year-old daughter.
Oh, hey........He is so heartless!
I think the county magistrate was too merciful in sentencing him to only eighty strokes of the cane. A scum like him should be castrated first, then dragged out to be displayed to the public for three days, and finally sentenced to the death penalty of slow slicing to satisfy our hatred!"
After hearing this, Lu Ren looked at the wailing man with a frown.
Although only half of his face could be seen, this man's face obviously did not look like a wicked person. Instead, he revealed a kind temperament.
Especially his pair of dull eyes, which were filled with unwillingness, anger, and deep despair.
Lu Ren was silent for a while, and then asked,"Where is his daughter now?"
The woman said,"The county magistrate saw that the little girl was pitiful, and has taken her to the mansion for settlement."
After hearing this, Lu Ren's eyes became extremely cold.
He knew very well that there must be something fishy about this matter!
" Stop!"
Lu Ren shouted loudly, stepped forward quickly, and interrupted the ongoing punishment without hesitation.
The two officers looked up in astonishment, staring at the sudden intruder with suspicion.
"Who are you? Can't you see we are on duty? If you know what's good for you, get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame us for taking you away with us.!"
One of the officers threatened viciously.
As he spoke, the fire and water stick in his hand was about to fall heavily again.
However, at this critical moment, Lu Ren flashed and disappeared in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, before the two officers could come to their senses, Lu Ren appeared in front of them like a ghost.
He opened his hands to the left and right, and lifted the two men up like chickens in a flash.
Considering that the two officers were just following orders and were not the culprits, Lu Ren did not use heavy hands, but just threw them into the county government with a light flick.
Then, Lu Ren hurriedly leaned over to help up the man who was beaten all over and almost fainted.
He asked with concern:"Do you have any grievances?"
