Chapter 102 Ghost Demon
In a blink of an eye, another three hours passed. At this time, Qin Hong was crawling on the roof of the yard, watching the situation in the yard. On the surface, he didn't care about this mission, but secretly he was watching every move here.

The purpose of his doing so was to better understand the specific combat effectiveness of the three people. Soon a desolate voice came from a well in the yard. The moment the voice came out, not only Qin Hong on the roof, but even Leng Ningshuang and Wang Yong in the room were nervously looking at the situation in the yard through the crack in the door.

Only Zhou Chen was still practicing with his eyes closed. At this moment, he was already sweating profusely. He felt that the true Qi in his body was increasing, and the speed of condensing the true Qi was several times faster than usual. If he continued at this speed, he would soon break through the bottleneck and directly reach the sixth level.

At this time, a woman dressed in servant's clothes slowly floated out from the dry well. The moment she came out, Qin Yong felt an invisible pressure. He recognized this thing. Although it looked like a ghost, it exuded the aura of a demon.

This is a powerful ghost demon. Ordinary warriors who encounter it will only think it is an ordinary ghost, not knowing that it is a ghost demon.

The reason why Qin Yong knew this thing was that their previous team 19 was on a mission to slaughter ghost monsters, and the captain and two powerful team members were killed by ghost monsters.

So others may not recognize them, but Qin Hong could recognize them at a glance. Qin Hong didn't care about any small test and just shouted loudly for the three to escape quickly.

But when he had just shouted halfway, a bolt of lightning as thick as a finger flew out from Wang Yong's room and accurately hit the ghost demon's body.

A puff of white smoke came out of the ghost demon's body, but it did not cause any harm to him. Leng Ningshuang also broke out of the door with the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand and killed the ghost demon.

Seeing this, Qin Hong jumped down from the roof and stood in front of Leng Ningshuang, "Captain, why are you stopping me?"
"If you don't want to die, retreat quickly. We can't deal with this thing." At this moment, the ghost demon immediately opened his eyes and looked up at Leng Ningshuang.

"Blood, I want fresh blood," he said and pounced towards Leng Ningshuang. Seeing this, Wang Yong quickly used the Five Elements Thunder Method to hit the ghost demon on the back.

Although the ghost demon felt pain, the attack did not cause him any harm. Apart from a burst of white smoke, there was nothing else. Leng Ningshuang also slashed his neck with a knife.

Although he had the blessing of the Demon-Suppressing Sword, his attack power was still a little lacking. Qin Hong now joined the battle reluctantly. He couldn't just leave the three of them alone. If he did so, he wouldn't be able to explain to his superiors when he returned.

The three of them worked together to fight the ghost demon to a draw. "It seems that the strength of this ghost demon is not very strong." Then Qin Hong looked around and found no trace of Zhou Chen.

"Where is Zhou Chen? Why can't we see him?" It would have been fine if they hadn't reminded him, but now they found that Zhou Chen was not here. Wang Yong shook his head and said he didn't know, while Leng Ningshuang was worried, "Is he in danger?"
Qin Hong said, "Could it be that the family was scared away by the powerful ghost demon?" Just as the three people were about to split themselves, the ghost demon suddenly jumped up and injured the three people with one move.

"Damn, his strength is at least at the peak of the seventh level. He was deliberately hiding his strength just now." The ghost demon licked his lips with his tongue, then showed a weird smile and slowly walked towards the three people.

At this moment Zhou Chen in the room suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment his aura suddenly changed. At the same time, fifteen drops of water condensed in his dantian. These drops of water represented that Zhou Chen now had fifteen years of skills.

Zhou Chen was overjoyed, "I did it, I finally did it." Before Zhou Chen could be happy, he heard the sound of fighting outside the room. Zhou Chen then remembered the purpose of coming here today. The ghost demon in the courtyard first came to Qin Hong. The ghost demon slowly raised his right hand. The black nails on his right hand grew wildly. In just two seconds, they grew to three inches long.

The black nails flashed with a sharp light. Qin Hong said unwillingly in his heart, "Am I going to die here today?"
Just as the ghost demon was about to reach for his heart, the door of Zhou Chen's room suddenly exploded. When the ghost demon heard the noise, his body did not move at all, but his head turned 180 degrees and looked behind him.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him and stabbed his chest with a knife. The originally indifferent face instantly became distorted.

With a scream, the demonic and ghostly energy in the ghost demon's body quickly dissipated. Leng Ningshuang and Wang Yong did not expect Zhou Chen to be so powerful and were shocked.

Qin Hong stood there in a daze. The ghost demon that was no match for him was killed instantly by Zhou Chen with just one palm. How much strength did this guy hide?

After the evil spirit and ghost spirit dissipated, a weak soul appeared in front of Zhou Chen. Although Zhou Chen had doubts in his eyes, he did not say much. He raised his hand to kill it, but the soul directly begged, "Please spare my life, sir. I am innocent."

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, while Wang Yong and Leng Ningshuang looked suspicious. When they were about to ask for clarification, Li Yuanwai suddenly walked in from outside the yard. Qin Hong reacted quickly and split the soul with a knife. The Demon-Suppressing Knife has the effect of exorcising evil spirits. If a powerless soul is hit, it will be instantly reduced to ashes.

Although Zhou Chen was confused, he did not show it. After Mr. Li came in, he saw the female ghost being killed by Qin Hong. He was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for getting rid of this evil for me." As he spoke, he stuffed a purse into Qin Hong's hand.

Qin Hong picked it up and put it in his arms as if nothing had happened. After finishing the matter here, Qin Hong took the three of them and rushed towards the Demon Suppression Division.

It was already late at night when they returned to the Demon Suppression Division. Zhou Chen did not want to disturb Leng Yiyao's rest, so he went straight back to the Demon Suppression Division. The same went for the others. After returning to the Demon Suppression Division, Qin Hong actually took out all the silver he had earned that day and divided it into five parts.

Zhou Chen and the other two each got a share. Although it wasn't much, it was still a few taels of silver. Qin Hong took two shares, and the larger share was given to those above him. He only took a smaller share.

At the same time, Qin Hong also gave a brief explanation, "Exterminating demons and defending the way of righteousness is one thing, and making some extra money while doing so is also possible. After all, it's useless for those guys to keep so much silver, so we might as well spend some on them."

After everyone went back to rest, Qin Hong kept Zhou Chen alone and asked him about what happened today. Zhou Chen knew that he must have exposed some of his strength by killing a strong enemy in one move, but exposing some strength in the Demon Suppression Bureau should not be a good thing.

“I am dissatisfied with what you said, sir, that I have indeed concealed some of my strength. In fact, I am not at the middle stage of the eighth rank, but at the middle stage of the seventh rank.”

Although Qin Hong was very angry about Zhou Chen's deception, he was still quite happy that the team had another seventh-grade master, so he did not blame him too much.
