My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1374 - 130

In just ten minutes, almost all the black cats on the ground had been slaughtered.

But things were not as simple as imagined.

In the distance, the sound of a cat’s cry rang out again.

When Ye Guichen and the others looked up, they saw a scene that made their skin crawl.

At the end of the alley, it was densely packed with black cats.

Even along the sides of the alley, black cats started to continuously climb over the walls.

It was impossible to count how many there were with just a glance.

"Wh-what is going on?"

Shen Lang felt his back hairs stand on end, and it seemed as if he had fallen into an endless ice cavern.

With dozens of black cats already taking out several men, would this dense mass of black cats mean they all perish here?

"Brother, thank you for your pill." Shen Lang clasped his fist towards Ye Guichen: "We’ve never met, and counting everything, this is only the second time we’ve seen each other. But I know, if it weren’t for that pill of yours, I would be a cold corpse now. This great kindness, I carry it in my heart."

"Originally, I, Shen Lang, thought there would be an opportunity to repay your great kindness, but now, I’m afraid there won’t be. Sir, could you tell me your name? Even if I die, I’ll remember your kindness and repay it in the next life."

"Ye Guichen!" Ye Guichen also clasped his fist: "You needn’t be so polite."

"No, there are things I must say now, I’m afraid if I die, there won’t be a chance to say them." Shen Lang squeezed out a faint smile: "The appearance of these black cats surely has something to do with the Demon Clan. Although we have no direct evidence proving the Demon Clan is in the Imperial City, recently, except for Lord Wang, the deaths and injuries in the Imperial City are numerous. But, these deceased are mostly civilians, common folk, suppressed by us. Just this morning, I found a clue, originally intending to verify it before reporting upwards, but now it seems there won’t be the chance."

At this, a trace of despair flashed in Shen Lang’s eyes, he shook his head helplessly, sighing: "Mr. Ye, I feel these black cats aren’t here for me. Tonight’s events have nothing to do with you. I will do my best to escort you out. Remember, run towards the Heavenly Patrol’s direction, don’t look back, find Lord Supervisor, tell him: East City West Gate Alley No. 53."

Shen Lang shouted, commanding his subordinates: "Brothers, as members of the Imperial City Heavenly Patrol, our lives belong to His Majesty, death belongs to His Majesty’s ghosts. Tonight, even if we die here, we’ve fulfilled our duty. Escort Mr. Ye out! Kill these black cats."

Shen Lang’s long blade danced, each slash cutting several black cats in half.

Even his men rushed forward to begin the slaughter.

However, those black cats seemed endless, the more they killed, instead of decreasing, they grew in number.

Ye Guichen clenched his fist.

If these black cats truly relate to the Demon Clan, then it’s connected to him.

Moreover, Shen Lang’s words just now stirred Ye Guichen with an inexplicable feeling.

This man truly had a sincere nature.

"You won’t finish them like this!" Ye Guichen didn’t retreat, watching Shen Lang and his men being forced onto a dead end by the black cats, he couldn’t help but shout: "All of you back off, I’ll handle this!"

With those words, Ye Guichen directly summoned Jiuyou Tower: "Soul Capture!"

As Ye Guichen’s voice fell, he raised his hand.

Numerous chains spread out from the black tower.

Then, they seemed to transform into sharp black iron blades.

Those black iron chains swung out towards the black cats.

Each chain that extracted claimed the lives of dozens of black cats.

Furthermore, with the summoning of the tower, those black cats seemed to see something terrifying, turning to flee.

Ye Guichen even felt Little Black Dog within the tower stirring restlessly.

Ye Guichen’s mind moved, releasing Little Black Dog.

"Woof!"

Little Black Dog barked once, opening its mouth wide.

Although its mouth was small, when it opened, black cats within ten meters instantly died, just like the soldiers who mysteriously perished earlier.

Another bark.

Black cats within twenty meters all died.

Shen Lang and the others watched, dumbfounded.

Ye Guichen also paused a moment.

Others couldn’t see anything unusual about Little Black Dog, but Ye Guichen could clearly sense that each bark seemed to directly devour the souls of those black cats.

After barking three times in succession, there wasn’t a single living black cat left on site.

The entire alley returned to tranquility.

Aside from the ground full of dead black cats proving what just happened, Shen Lang and the others felt like they had just awakened from a dream.

Ye Guichen saw all the black cats were dead, quickly putting away the tower.

After a long time, Shen Lang and his team finally snapped out of it.

They fell to their knees: "Many thanks, Mr. Ye, for saving our lives!"

Meanwhile,

At the southeast corner of the Imperial City,

inside a deserted courtyard,

a man dressed in black suddenly opened his eyes.

At the instant of opening his eyes, the man’s pupils were exceptionally small, only the size of a pinhole.

Not long after, the man’s pupils gradually enlarged, returning to a normal appearance.

"Damn it, someone actually managed to annihilate my black cat army?" The man’s face turned terrifyingly dark, as if he were a demon crawling from the depths of hell.

He let out a chilling laugh, a sharpness in his voice.

Then he lifted his gaze towards the direction of the Imperial City, muttering: "I thought blocking the Demon Clan’s aura would prevent the disturbance by that coiling dragon, assuring peace, yet unexpectedly, now emerges a master of the Dao? Hmph, in that case, don’t blame this honored self for being impolite!"
