Chapter 136 Going up the mountain to kill the demon king
Zhou Chen immediately took out the Demon-Slaying Sword and said, "Come on." Leng Ningshuang smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, be careful." At the same time, Wang Yong raised his hand and drew a talisman in the air and injected it into Leng Ningshuang's body.

Leng Ningshuang's aura changed instantly, and at the same time, flashes of lightning flashed on his body. Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this, raised his hand and slashed Leng Ningshuang on the head with a knife. The moment the two knives collided, rays of lightning struck towards Zhou Chen's body.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen summoned a stream of true energy from his body to cover his body surface, and the power of thunder was instantly blocked outside his body. At the same time, Leng Ningshuang swung his sword towards Zhou Chen's vitals again. Knowing that Zhou Chen was very powerful, he had no intention of holding back, and Zhou Chen easily blocked all his attacks.

Leng Ningshuang took a few steps back and looked at Wang Yong behind him and said, "Why don't you take action?"
Wang Yong sighed helplessly, and then he saw lightning flashing around his body. At the same time, his body quickly disappeared from the spot, and when he appeared again, he was already in front of Zhou Chen.

His punch hit Zhou Chen's Demon-Suppressing Sword directly. Although Zhou Chen took the blow, he was also shocked by Wang Yong's strength. Although they were both in the middle stage of the eighth rank, Leng Ningshuang's strength was far inferior to Wang Yong.

Zhou Chen did not hold back and exerted a little force with his right hand to directly push Wang Yong away. At the same time, the Demon-Suppressing Sword quickly chopped towards Wang Yong. For a moment, Wang Yong could only barely resist. Leng Ningshuang saw this and quickly stepped forward to help, but was still suppressed by Zhou Chen.

In the end, it was Wang Yong who said first, "Stop fighting, stop fighting. This fight can't go on," and Zhou Chen stopped immediately.

Leng Ningshuang stepped forward and asked, "Brother Zhou, how did you practice? You have reached the sixth level at such a young age?"
"This is easy, just practice well."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" After saying that, Wang Yong and the other man rolled their eyes at Zhou Chen. At this time, Wang Wu came to the yard.

"It's really not easy for Brother Zhou to find you."

"Brother Wang, what do you want from me?" Zhou Chen then brought Wang Wu into the room, and Wang Wu told him the purpose of his visit. Because of business matters, the Wang family would hold a martial arts competition with the Li family in the city every three years.

The winning party will get more business, while the losing party will have to hand over part of the business. Wang Wu came this time and wanted Zhou Chen to represent the Wang family in the battle.

"If it were in previous years, my Wang family would not be afraid of the Li family at all. However, something happened to my Wang family last time and we lost a sixth-rank warrior. Now we don't have enough masters in the mansion. I hope Brother Zhou can fight on behalf of my Wang family."

"Since Brother Wang has spoken, I naturally cannot refuse." After Wang Wu explained the matter in detail, he left.

It was still early for the competition between their two families, so he could still prepare. The next day, as soon as Zhou Chen arrived at the Demon Suppression Division, he was stopped by Leng Ningshuang, who handed a scroll to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen opened it, took a look and then closed the scroll. “Why did you take such a dangerous mission?”
"Brother Zhou, do you think I want to? This is arranged by Lord Qinglong and I have no choice."

Zhou Chen pondered for a while and said, "Since it is the adults' arrangement, let's get ready."

The content of the mission is that the demon king on Wuhua Mountain recently plans to gather lower-level demon beasts to launch an siege on Wu'an County.

Their mission was to go up the mountain and kill the demon king. The mission was specifically marked as being very dangerous so they should be careful with all their strength.

Without further ado, Zhou Chen took Leng Yiyao and Wang Yong and left the Demon Suppression Division that afternoon. That night, when the three of them were camping on the mountain, an illusory figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Chen's eyes.

Zhou Chen, who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, was shocked when he saw this. He immediately drew out the Demon-Suppressing Knife and pointed it at the figure. At the same time, he warned the other two people. However, a thin barrier had already covered the area around his tent, so his voice could not be heard at all. "Don't be nervous, little one. I have no ill will towards you."

"Who are you"?
"Haha, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I am here to help you."

"Oh, what do you mean?"
"That turtle has been practicing for more than three hundred years, and his strength has reached the peak of the sixth level. He is only one step away from breaking through to the fifth level. The three of you are no match for him. Without my help, you have no chance of killing him."

Zhou Chen thought about it and asked, "What are the conditions?"
"After you're done, help me kill that girl Wang Liu." Zhou Chen sneered after hearing his words, "Are you kidding me? With my strength, if I kill the head of the Wang family, isn't that courting death?"
"Don't worry. If I can let you go, I will naturally have a way to help you." However, before he could finish his words, Zhou Chen's Demon-Slaying Sword had already pierced his body, and the phantom disappeared before he could react.

Are you kidding? Wang Liu is the head of the Wu'an County Prince's family. Although she is just a woman, her strength is at the fifth level. How can a mere sixth-level warrior like him deal with her?

As the phantom dissipated, the surrounding barrier also broke. After Zhou Chen walked out of the tent, he found Leng Ningshuang sitting alone by the fire, warming herself by the fire.

"Ningshuang, you go and have a rest. Leave this to me." It was already the late night and Leng Ningshuang was already sleepy. Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Leng Ningshuang did not hesitate and went straight back to her tent to rest.

Zhou Chen sat by the fire and looked at the endless starry sky. Soon it was the next day and the three of them continued on their journey. Now they had already gone deep into Wuhua Mountain. It was inevitable that they would encounter many monsters during the journey. However, these monsters were no problem at all for Zhou Chen and the other two. Zhou Chen solved them with one sword.

According to the intelligence, the Demon King is located in the deepest part of Wuhua Mountain, and is a turtle-like monster with unfathomable strength. However, according to the intelligence, the lifespan of this turtle monster has come to an end. The Demon Suppression Division is also worried that the turtle monster will struggle to death at the last moment, and may kill indiscriminately and use the blood of living creatures to break through the realm.

The three kept searching in the mountains until the evening of the third day, when they rested beside a lake. "We're tired after a day, so let's take a rest and continue searching tomorrow."

Afterwards, Zhou Chen asked the two to rest, while he was responsible for keeping watch. With his sixth-grade strength, he basically did not need to rest, and he could eliminate fatigue while sitting cross-legged and practicing.

After observing for a few hours, Zhou Chen opened the Eye of the Ultimate and began to sit cross-legged to practice, recovering his true energy while practicing.

Late at night, a turtle head appeared in the middle of the lake. The turtle looked up at Zhou Chen by the lake, and then he sank back into the lake.

Not long after, the surrounding lake water began to rise slowly. Zhou Chen didn't notice it at first. By the time he noticed it, the lake water had already reached his feet. Zhou Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

As if sensing Zhou Chen's actions, a huge wave immediately rose from the originally calm water surface. The wave was more than five meters high and rushed towards Zhou Chen and the others.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen roared and woke up Leng Ningshuang and the other two who were sleeping. At the same time, the ice qi was activated. Zhou Chen sent out a huge amount of qi on his palm and hit the huge wave, freezing it instantly.

At this time Leng Ningshuang and the other person immediately picked up the Demon-Suppressing Sword and rushed out. At this time, a huge turtle appeared above the huge waves. The giant turtle raised its foot and stomped down suddenly. The huge waves that were frozen shattered instantly, and the fragments flew towards the three people.

"Retreat!" The three of them quickly dispersed, only to see their tents being smashed into pieces by the ice chips. The three of them each fell on a big tree, looking at the giant turtle in front of them.
