Mortal Mirror

Exiting the Procuratorate, Lu Yun said with a worried expression, "Brother Gou, don't be foolish. Ximen Shang is not only highly skilled, but he also has several powerful experts around him all year round. Moreover, he is a local tyrant in our Bitterwater County and has the support of the county magistrate. No one dares to touch him."

Li Ergou comforted him, "Don't worry, I didn't say I'd take revenge on him now. I just said in this lifetime."

Lu Yun was stunned and couldn't help but admire, "Brother Gou is wise."

Li Ergou chuckled. In his heart, he had already sentenced Ximen Shang to death. Such a person deserved to die.

Although he wasn't a paragon of virtue, he hated evil like poison.

However, as Lu Yun said, this person had great power, and it would be extremely difficult to kill him. A misstep could lead to his own demise, so this matter needed careful consideration.

Afterward, he went to see Huang San and told him the news he had obtained. Huang San was very happy and immediately reported it to the county sheriff. The county sheriff was overjoyed and directly ordered Huang San to lead the team, with the other four pairs of constables assisting, to arrest the remaining members of the Blood Beast Sect.

In front of a grocery store, a hunched old man was selling goods when suddenly a group of constables surrounded him. Zhou Da and Silly Ge could be seen among them.

At this moment, the crowd parted, and Li Ergou walked out. His eyes sharply fixed on the old man as he said, "Old She, are you still going to pretend? The net of heaven is wide, and no one can escape. Human Bear has already confessed. If you surrender, I might consider sparing your life."

The old man suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, "Spare my life? We of the Blood Beast Sect only die, we never surrender."

"Ah!" He leaned back, his hands pointing towards the sky, and roared. His body suddenly swelled, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant white ape two meters tall.

Its eyes gleamed fiercely as it charged towards the countless constables.

"Form the formation!" Lu Yun shouted loudly.

Silly Ge and Zhou Da were both veteran constables with cultivation levels around the sixth or seventh layer of Qi Refining. Their combat power was not to be trifled with. With the assistance of the formation, without Li Ergou even needing to make a move, the white ape was defeated in no time.

However, this white ape was ruthless enough. Knowing that it would inevitably die, it directly slapped its own head and committed suicide.

Seeing this scene, Li Ergou could only sigh.

Human Bear had confessed to a total of three people, but unfortunately, one person escaped during the arrest. The county sheriff was naturally furious and scolded the five chief constables severely, giving them a deadline to capture the person.

Outside Bitterwater City, in the Bitterwater River, the old fisherman who had once saved Li Ergou was leisurely fishing on his boat when he suddenly felt his fishing rod sink. He immediately pulled it up.

Then, he saw a man in red suddenly emerge from the river. The old fisherman was slightly surprised, but when he thought of the reward he had received from Li Ergou last time, he was immediately happy. He was thinking about good things as he directly pulled the man in red up.

The man in red was rescued, but a strange light flashed in his eyes. The old fisherman said, "Hey, young master, the river is quite deep. Please be careful."

The man's voice was hoarse as he said, "Old man, please do a good deed to the end."

The old fisherman probably didn't understand what he meant and said happily, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll take you to the shore right away."

Who would have thought that the man would reveal a strange smile? His body swelled, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a monster with a fox face and a human body. He pounced on the old fisherman. The old fisherman never dreamed that he would receive some reward, but he didn't expect that saving someone would cost him his life.

The fox-faced man was now covered in blood, and he muttered with hatred, "You just wait, I, A'Hu, will definitely be back."

It is said that the three great joys in life are promotion, salary increase, and being praised.

Li Ergou's reputation in the yamen soared because of the Blood Beast Sect incident. He had become a well-known figure. From today on, he could be considered a somewhat famous person in Bitterwater County.

He himself never dreamed that he would have today's achievements. In his joy, he had to arrange a treat at the restaurant for everyone in his team, including A'Kun.

Li Ergou was now a deputy constable, and his status was higher than several squad leaders. He had the right to dispatch several squads.

Silly Ge had completely changed from disdain to admiration. Zhou Da was beaming with joy, happy that he had bet on the right person. A'Kun also came up, wearing a smiling face, to congratulate Li Ergou.

Although he was still jealous and unconvinced in his heart, he was smiling more happily than anyone else at this time, which earned him a contemptuous look from Silly Ge and Good Guy Da.

Everyone raised their glasses and enjoyed themselves. Li Ergou couldn't help but think of Mr. Li Zheng'an's words: "Enjoy life while you can."

When he returned home in a daze, he saw that the Third Generation Chicken, which had swallowed the Blood Orchid, was still lying on the ground unconscious. At this moment, its size had more than doubled that of the Second Generation Chicken. It could be seen that it was still growing. Li Ergou felt a strange feeling in his heart, wondering if he was breeding a monster.

Should he kill it and eat its meat now? He shook his head slightly, thinking he would wait until tomorrow. He was too tired today.

The next morning, Li Ergou woke up. Today was the day he had agreed with Yu Tailai to retrieve his magic weapon, the flying sword.

It was indeed very inconvenient not to have a weapon.

He walked quickly. Just as he had walked halfway, he saw two strong men carrying a sack, sneaking forward quickly. The sack was constantly moving.

Based on Li Ergou's experience over the past few days, this matter was not simple.

He immediately shouted, "What are you doing?"

One of them saw Li Ergou dressed as a commoner and said with a disdainful look, "We are people of Young Master Ximen. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

It was a pity that Li Ergou didn't wear his constable uniform today, otherwise, he would definitely be able to deter these petty thieves.

However, at this moment, when he heard the name Ximen, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it Ximen Shang?"

When the man heard this, he immediately snorted, "It is our Young Master Ximen Shang. Since you know, hurry up and get out of the way, don't make trouble for yourself."

Li Ergou nodded slightly, but suddenly attacked the two of them. How could ordinary martial artists be Li Ergou's opponents? In a few strokes, he subdued and tied them up.

At this time, two constables happened to hear the fight and walked over. When they saw Li Ergou, they immediately changed to a smiling face and greeted him. After all, Li Ergou was now at the height of his fame. Everyone knew him.

It was even rumored in the yamen that Li Ergou punched the Human Bear of the Blood Beast Sect half to death, and there were even rumors that the five chief constables were not necessarily his opponents. Who would dare to disobey or provoke such a fierce man?

Seeing this scene, the two constables immediately asked, "Sir, what happened?"

Li Ergou didn't mince words and said directly, "These two guys were acting suspiciously. I asked them about it, and they attacked me. This is openly resisting our public gate and challenging the authority of our Great Xia law."

Hearing this, the two people on the ground were dumbfounded. This big hat was put on them. Not to mention what they did, this alone was enough for them to suffer. Hearing the name of this person, they were even more flustered. So he was the Iron-Blooded God Catcher Li Ergou rumored in the Jianghu these days.

The two looked at each other and immediately had a bad feeling.

Li Ergou said, "You two, open the sack. I want to see what they are carrying."
