Chapter 130 Encountering a Strong Enemy

The area Zhou Chen was in charge of had both rich and poor people. The officers and soldiers were extremely rough when searching the poor people's homes. Basically, the house was in a mess after the search, and the family finances were also looted.

As for those who were wealthier in family, they were better off. They stuffed a bag of silver into the mouth of the officer the moment he entered the door. Naturally, the officers and soldiers who had received benefits would not go too far. They just gave a symbolic inspection and then left.

As for those wealthy families, it goes without saying that after paying enough silver, the officers and soldiers just went in to take a quick look and then left. By the evening, the officers and soldiers finally finished searching.

Zhou Chen and two other people were drinking tea in a private room of an inn when several soldiers pushed the door open and came in. Their chests were bulging. They came to the table and took out purses one after another from their arms. Zhou Chen just watched them while Leng Ningshuang and the other two looked at the purses that had piled up into a mountain in shock.

Although he knew what they meant, Zhou Chen still asked, "What do you mean?"
The leading officer walked up to Zhou Chen and whispered in his ear for a long time. Zhou Chen then smiled with satisfaction and said, "I don't want this silver. You can share it with my two brothers. As for my share, just think of it as tea for you brothers."

After saying that, Zhou Chen left. The silver looked like a lot, but most of it was copper coins, so it wasn't much money. Zhou Chen had several thousand taels of silver now, so he wouldn't care about this little bit of silver.

The leading officer was a little embarrassed when he saw that Zhou Chen did not accept the silver, but fortunately Leng Ningshuang and the others accepted the silver, so they felt a lot more relieved.

Zhou Chen was walking alone on the street, "Fortunately, no one was found in my area, otherwise it would be troublesome."

When Zhou Chen was passing by an area, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the rooftop in the distance. Judging from the sound, there were quite a few people. Zhou Chen looked up and found a middle-aged man being chased by several Demon Suppression Guards.

Zhou Chen could see clearly that the middle-aged man's martial arts skills had reached more than two hundred and sixty years, while the Demon Suppression Guards behind him only had a few hundred men of strength and were not at the same level as him.

Even so, he was still being chased by them. Zhou Chen could guess the reason a little. After all, this was Wu'an County. Now that he was discovered by the Demon Suppression Guards, he naturally wanted to leave here as soon as possible. If he delayed for too long, he would not be able to escape if the top leaders of the Demon Suppression Bureau came.

Those Demon-Suppressing Guards simply couldn't catch up with the man, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther. Zhou Chen originally didn't want to care about it, but at this moment, several Demon-Suppressing Guards passed by him.

At this time, Zhou Chen couldn't leave, so he had to take out his iron bow and aim at the man. With a few bangs, the arrows flew through the air. Although he missed, he did successfully stop the middle-aged man.

Zhou Chen continued to shoot arrows, but his archery skills were mediocre and could not hurt the man at all. At this time, the demon-suppressing guards had surrounded the man.

The man's eyes turned cold when he saw that he couldn't run away. He was not afraid of these trash in front of him. He was only afraid of the high-level officials in Wu'an County. More than a dozen Demon-Suppressing Guards rushed towards him together.

The man just snorted coldly, and then his true energy burst out, directly knocking away all the demon-suppressing guards who pounced on him.

He did not look at the Demon-Suppressing Guards who fell to the ground but turned to look at Zhou Chen in the distance, "Boy, you dare to stop me, are you tired of living?"

The sound was not loud but Zhou Chen heard it clearly. At this time, more Demon-Suppressing Guards were rushing over from the surroundings, but they were just ordinary Demon-Suppressing Guards. The Demon-Suppressing Envoy had not arrived yet.

Seeing the man rushing towards him, Zhou Chen raised his hand and met his palm. Before they collided, a huge amount of true energy exploded, shaking away all the Demon-Suppressing Guards who wanted to come forward to help.

"You stand back."

As the two of them competed with each other in internal strength, Zhou Chen gradually fell into a disadvantage. Then the Frost Phantom was used, and Zhou Chen quickly dodged his palm wind. Without Zhou Chen's obstruction, the palm wind directly smashed a house behind Zhou Chen. With the blessing of the Frost Phantom, Zhou Chen's speed directly increased by 15 points. Noticing that Zhou Chen appeared behind him, the man did not look back but just casually hit Zhou Chen with a palm force.

At this time, Zhou Chen held the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand and shattered his palm wind with one blow. At the same time, Zhou Chen's body flew backwards.

Zhou Chen stood on the roof and looked at the man below, thinking in his heart, "The support from the Demon Suppression Bureau should be arriving soon, I just need to leave him here."

After saying that, Zhou Chen swung his sword towards the man. At the same time, the Fengyun Sword condensed into a 35-meter-long sword and swung towards the man. The man also used his internal force to condense a long sword.

The long sword was suspended above his head and blocked the attack for him. Zhou Chen was also a little shocked to see the flying sword above his head. The long sword condensed by the true energy could actually block his Fengyun Sword. At this time, the residual power of the Fengyun Sword had split the house behind the man into two.

The people inside were so scared that they had already fled the room. At the same time, several Demon-Suppressing Guards began to evacuate the people around them, asking them to hide as far away from this place as possible.

Zhou Chen increased the strength in his hands a little more, and his sword began to fall towards his head. He was obviously at a disadvantage.

The man did not resist, but dodged the knife by turning sideways, then rushed towards Zhou Chen with a long sword in hand. Although the Fengyun Sword was powerful, it was extremely heavy. Seeing that the man was approaching, he quickly put away the Fengyun Sword and fought him with his sword skills.

The Demon-Suppressing Guards around the two of them were unable to intervene as the two were fighting at close range, because sword and knife energy was constantly emanating from them. If they got too close, they would be torn to pieces by the sword and knife energy.

The man's swordsmanship was very fast and Zhou Chen could only hold on with difficulty. Seeing that Zhou Chen was no match for the man, he stabbed out with his sword fiercely. At the same time, Zhou Chen saw that the sword energy on his sword actually condensed into a small green snake.

The small green snake flew directly towards Zhou Chen's chest. Zhou Chen dodged its attack in a panic. Then the man kicked him in the chest. Zhou Chen was kicked hard and fell directly from the roof.

The Demon Suppression Guards below hurried forward to catch Zhou Chen. At the same time, several Demon Suppression Guards went up to fight with him, but they were all solved by him in one move. There was no way they could do anything about the gap between the middle third grade and the lower third grade.

Even in a simple sword fight they were no match for the man. Without using his magic of demon patterns, Zhou Chen was not good at close combat. His Wind and Cloud Sword and Extreme Ice Bloom were both long-range attack methods.

Seeing that the man was about to rush up, Zhou Chen stood firm and swung the Fengyun Sword again, forcing the man back. At the same time, the man flipped his sword and performed a sword move, and at the same time a whirlwind appeared on his sword.

The moment he threw the whirlwind out, it instantly grew bigger. Zhou Chen sensed the danger and quickly asked everyone to get out of the way. He also quickly dodged at the same time, but even so, several Demon-Suppressing Guards were still caught in the whirlwind.

This is not an ordinary whirlwind but is condensed from the man's sword energy. The sword energy is raging inside and anyone caught in it will be torn to pieces by the sword energy.

Hearing the screams coming from inside, Zhou Chen had no choice but to grit his teeth and rush forward to fight with them. At this moment, a golden knife fell from the sky and landed directly on the whirlwind. In an instant, the whirlwind disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, a golden light hit the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man immediately condensed his true energy to resist.
