Chapter 123: Killing the Golden Rat

The Gale Sword was actually blocked in an instant, but it did not block it for long. Ten seconds later, cracks appeared on the shield, and beads of sweat flowed down the forehead of the Golden-Haired Rat.

Obviously, although his skill was higher than Zhou Chen's, his martial arts was not as good as Zhou Chen's Gale Sword. Zhou Chen increased his strength again and more and more cracks appeared on the shield. Finally, it couldn't hold on and broke apart.

The giant sword also lost its resistance and flew quickly towards the golden-haired rat. Even though the golden-haired rat had dodged at such a close distance, it was still scratched on the forehead by the sword energy.

The Golden-Haired Rat quickly retreated twenty meters before standing up. When he raised his head, there was a trace of blood on his forehead.

The Gale Sword flew out for dozens of meters before disappearing. All the houses were reduced to dust wherever the giant sword passed.

This move required Zhou Chen to use his full strength. If he hadn't had the support of true energy, this one strike would have exhausted all of the demonic power of the demon pattern itself. Now, with the support of seventy-five years of skill, Zhou Chen could only use the Gale Sword of this power four times.

It would probably take fifteen years of hard training to be able to use it once. At this moment, the Golden-Haired Rat wiped the blood from his forehead with his hand in a rage. He pinched the magic formula with his hand and pointed one finger at the blood moon in the sky. Suddenly, the blood moon in the sky emitted a powerful pressure.

For a moment, Zhou Chen felt that his strength was suppressed, and at the same time, a huge palm slapped Zhou Chen from top to bottom.

At this time, the three people who had been hiding in the dark saw the huge hand in the air and said, "Brother, what do you think? Should we take action?"

The three were none other than the three Demon Suppression Envoys sent by the Demon Suppression Bureau. They entered Fenghua County not long after Zhou Chen and the other entered. However, they were not in a hurry to show up because they wanted to wait until the Golden-Haired Rat dealt with Zhou Chen before taking action to suppress and kill the Golden-Haired Rat.

Because the three of them all have the surname Wang and are from the Wang family, they came here for a public purpose to kill the Golden-Haired Rat and for a private purpose to deal with Zhou Chen. However, now that they see that Zhou Chen actually has the strength of the sixth rank, they hesitated.

Because a sixth-rank warrior can no longer be considered a master in Wu'an County. Although there are sixth-rank masters in Wu'an County, they are not many.

Sixth-rank warriors are definitely the targets that big families and big forces would try to win over. Even his Wang family doesn't have many sixth-rank warriors. The three brothers were able to break through to the sixth rank with the help of the resources of the Demon Suppression Division. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to break through to the sixth rank relying solely on the resources of the Wang family.

After some consideration, the three decided to take action, because if they lost a sixth-grade warrior for a side branch, the loss would be too great.

At this time, the huge hand in the sky was about to fall, and a huge magic circle appeared again under Zhou Chen's feet.

Just as the Gale Sword was about to appear, a huge blade energy chopped down on the palm from top to bottom, and the palm was directly split apart.

Zhou Chen recognized that the sword was the Fengyun Sword he had practiced, but its power was much greater than his own, and the blade was also twenty meters long.

The sudden change scared the Jinmaoshu, and he quickly looked at the three Demon-Suppressing Envoys. It seemed that he recognized the three of them. Just as he was about to speak, he saw one of the Demon-Suppressing Envoys move slightly.

Then his figure quickly disappeared, and when it appeared again, it was already in front of him. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed the rat's neck.

At the same time, a hand twice as big as his own pinched his neck, killing him before he could even utter a word.

Although he had never seen these three people, Zhou Chen knew from their aura that these three people were the Demon Suppressors who had been hiding in the dark.

Seeing their ancestors being killed, several rat demons immediately put away their formations and prepared to flee. How could the three demon-suppressing envoys let them escape? One demon-suppressing envoy went forward and killed several rat demons with two moves. After the death of the golden-haired rat, the demon plants in the sky also fell down, and at the same time, a touch of sunlight was sprinkled in the dark sky.

A demon-suppressing envoy stretched out his hand to catch the demon plant and put it into his storage bag. Zhou Chen observed the three people and found that their skills were actually similar to his, and one of them was even less powerful than him.

The reason why he was able to kill the Golden-Haired Rat in seconds was because of his powerful martial arts. Since then, Zhou Chen has made up his mind to add the Wind and Cloud Sword and the Gale Sword, especially the Gale Sword, which is more powerful than the Wind and Cloud Sword.

As for the sixth-grade demon patterns on other parts of the body, I will not acquire them for the time being. The most urgent task now is to strengthen my martial arts first.

Zhou Chen walked up to several people and bowed, "Thank you very much for your help, otherwise we would all die here today."

"It's a small matter. This is our job. But you, little brother, hid it very well. With the strength of the sixth rank, you are willing to be a small Demon Suppression Guard."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. I just made a breakthrough not long ago." After exchanging a few words of greeting, the three of them left with the head of the golden-haired rat.

Zhou Chen also proposed to return to the Demon Suppression Division, but Leng Ningshuang mentioned Qin Hong. Zhou Chen had forgotten about this and then pretended to look for Qin Hong with Leng Ningshuang. Zhou Chen intentionally or unintentionally took Leng Ningshuang to find Qin Hong's body.

Zhou Chen pretended to be shocked when he saw Qin Hong's body, but Leng Ningshuang and the others were only superiors and subordinates to Qin Hong and had no feelings for him. They just put his body into the storage bag and then returned to Wu'an County.

As for what happened here, it was none of Zhou Chen's business. The officials would take care of it. Just after Zhou Chen and the other two left, Zhou Chen noticed something strange. Although the body of the Golden-Haired Rat was also taken away, Zhou Chen could still sense the breath of the Golden-Haired Rat.

"What's happening here"?
Leng Ningshuang heard Zhou’s murmur and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, Brother Zhou?”
"It's okay, I just feel a little weird."

Lord Xu had been sitting alone on the dilapidated roof, looking at the ruined Fenghua County in front of him. Many thoughts arose in his mind. He couldn't figure out why a good county had become like this.

At this moment, a little mouse crawled out from the ruins behind him and approached him quietly. With his level of cultivation, it was impossible for the little mouse to come behind him quietly.

But now he was filled with emotion and let down his guard for a moment, which gave the little mouse an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Although this mouse is pure white, it exudes a hint of evil spirit, but it is very weak.

Just when he was about to get close to Lord Xu, suddenly a huge sword flew over. Lord Xu, who was sitting on the roof in a daze, had not yet reacted when the huge sword directly pierced the white rat. The white rat was smashed to pieces on the spot. Lord Xu's back was also scratched by the huge sword, and it was immediately covered in blood.

At the same time, the house under his feet collapsed instantly. Lord Xu used his feet to leave here and landed on another roof. Blood dripped on the eaves.

At this time, Zhou Chen and the other person appeared beside Lord Xu. Zhou Chen quickly used his magical powers to heal Lord Xu. Without waiting for Lord Xu to ask, Zhou Chen explained to him what had happened.

Lord Xu naturally trusted Zhou Chen. "It was a close call. Thank you Lord Zhou for saving him. The injuries on his back have all healed quickly."

Originally, Zhou Chen wanted to invite Lord Xu to stay in Wu'an County for two days, but Lord Xu rejected Zhou Chen's kindness. He was the county magistrate of Fenghua County, and without the imperial order, he would have to die in Fenghua County.
