Chapter 145 Poisoning
Seeing that the demon pattern could no longer withstand the power of the evil spirit, Zhou Chen quickly grabbed Leng Yiyao and left the water realm. The moment they left, the demon pattern exploded, and the evil spirit directly filled the entire water realm.
Moreover, the water realm was rapidly deforming under the impact of the demonic energy and was about to explode. Zhou Chen stepped on the void and threw a lotus directly into the water realm. With his light shout, countless ice cones exploded in the water realm. The water realm shattered and an ice lotus appeared on the ground.
At the same time, the entire black demonic energy was frozen inside. Through the Eye of the Ultimate, Zhou Chen saw that the demonic energy was not completely frozen. The demonic energy inside the lotus was surging and ready to accumulate power for an attack. Zhou Chen took the initiative and activated the Gale Sword instantly, directly piercing through the lotus with one sword.
Even the top of the mountain was pierced by the long sword, leaving a huge abyss. After the giant sword pierced through the lotus, the powerful sword energy and cold air directly defeated the evil energy, instantly freezing and exploding. The evil energy directly turned into dust and dissipated on the top of the mountain.
Leng Yiyao was extremely weak at this time and had already fallen into a deep sleep. Zhou Chen took him back home directly through the void. As for the task arranged by Baihu, Zhou Chen did not intend to complete it. When Zhou Chen returned, he used his magical powers to go to the Demon Suppression Division and explained everything to Baihu, hoping that he would send other Demon Suppression Envoys to go there.
Zhou Chen's clone in the Demon Suppression Division came to Baihu with the scroll. As soon as he entered the yard, before he could speak, Baihu's voice came over, "Didn't I ask you to go and investigate the case? Why are you still in the Demon Suppression Division?"
Zhou Chen heard a hint of anger in his question, "Sir, it's not that I don't want to go, but my wife was attacked by a demon just now, and now she is unconscious. I really can't leave her. Please send someone else to handle the case."
After listening to his explanation, Baihu's tone softened a lot, "Now all the Demon Suppressors have been sent out to carry out their missions, and you are the only one left in the city. There really is no suitable manpower. So you can go and handle the case with peace of mind. As for your wife, I will send someone to take care of her. You can rest assured now, right?"
"this".
Seeing that Zhou Chen was still unwilling to go, Baihu said angrily, "Zhou Chen, don't forget that you are the Demon Suppressor. Your responsibility is to slay demons and eliminate evil. Now you disregard the lives of thousands of people for the sake of a woman's life. Are you worthy of this official position?"
After hearing his words, Zhou Chen cursed in his heart, "What about the lives of the people? It's obvious that they are afraid that the evil cultivators will become more powerful, and things will develop to an uncontrollable level."
"Your Excellency, I really cannot go. Please find someone else."
"Hmph, how dare you! You are dereliction of duty." Then with a command, two Demon Suppression Guards came out and directly captured Zhou Chen, "Throw him into death cell."
"Sir, you don't have to do this, right?"
"Shut up. I'm already being merciful enough by not killing you on the spot for disobeying my orders. Take you away."
After Zhou Chen left, Baihu said to himself, "He doesn't want to go. I guess I have to think of other ways." Then he picked up a pen and wrote a letter, which he then asked his confidant to deliver.
Although the clone has independent thoughts, Zhou Chen, as the original body, can also sense the situation on the clone's side. "I didn't expect that I would be thrown into death row because of such a small matter. Lord Baihu is going too far."
As long as the clone is not fatally injured, or Zhou Chen removes his magical power, the clone will always exist and will not dissipate. "In this case, let the clone stay in jail for me during this period of time."
At this moment, a huge vitality was repairing the hidden injuries left in Leng Yiyao's body. Fortunately, this demon pattern was left behind when it was decomposed before, otherwise he would be in trouble now.
Leng Yiyao had been in a coma for a day and a night, and finally woke up that night. Zhou Chen also noticed his change at this moment.
"Yiyao, are you awake?"
Leng Yiyao rubbed her head and then sat up. Seeing that Leng Yiyao's complexion had returned to normal, Zhou Chen finally felt relieved. Then Zhou Chen prepared a meal for Leng Yiyao, and the meat used was Xuanwu meat.
Zhou Chen has been busy recently and hasn't eaten the meat of Xuanwu yet. However, since it is a divine beast, the meat of Xuanwu must be stronger than that of ordinary sixth-grade monsters. After taking a bite, he was prompted to gain 2.4 strengthening points. "Wow, it's really awesome."
At the same time, Zhou Chen's clone was here. After arriving at the death row, Zhou Chen sat cross-legged in the corner. The prisoners in the death row were not ordinary people. When they saw Zhou Chen, the newcomer, they made things difficult for him, but after being severely taught a lesson by Zhou Chen, they became much more obedient. Now Zhou Chen sat in the corner and no one dared to approach him.
At this time, a demon-suppressing guard pushed a small wooden cart to the door of the cell and said, "It's time to eat." Hearing his words, everyone ran over to get their meals.
Only Zhou Chen was still sitting there. After everyone had received their food, he took out a lunch box from under the car, opened the door and walked in.
He came to Zhou Chen and said with a smile, "Master Zhou, it's time to eat," and then opened the food box with a smile. Suddenly, the aroma of meat spread throughout the cell. The other prisoners in the cell smelled the meat and suddenly felt that what they had in their bowls was not even as good as pig food.
But they didn't dare to say anything. After all, comparison makes one feel terribly upset. Zhou Chen opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, "I don't think you and I have any friendship, right?"
"It's normal that you don't know me. Someone asked me to deliver this thing to you. After all, this is a death row and ordinary people can't enter."
"Who asked you to send it to me?"
He carefully came up to Zhou Chen and whispered, "Miss Leng Ningshuangleng asked me to bring it to you."
Then he stepped back a few steps, said "Enjoy your meal" and left. Zhou Chen glanced at the people around him, tore off a chicken leg and started eating it in their envious gazes. Although it was just ordinary chicken, it tasted good.
Watching Zhou Chen eating the chicken bite by bite, the other prisoners couldn't help but wipe their saliva with their sleeves. Zhou Chen didn't share any with them, and they didn't dare to step forward to grab it.
After Zhou Chen finished eating and put the plate aside, the prisoners rushed over and scrambled for the bones inside. After grabbing them, they stuffed them directly into their mouths and started chewing.
"Go away and eat." Hearing Zhou Chen's scolding, everyone quickly ran to the side. At night, Zhou Chen heard a wailing sound. He opened his eyes and found several prisoners lying on the ground, holding their stomachs and howling, with blood starting to flow from their mouths.
Just as he was curious, his stomach started to hurt. He immediately thought that there was something wrong with the chicken. Those prisoners were already in such a state just by eating chicken bones, so wouldn't it be even more serious for him who had eaten the chicken?
In an instant, a mouthful of blood spurted out. At this time, the Demon-Suppressing Guard who had delivered the food came in. Zhou Chen wanted to kill him, but he was poisoned and couldn't even stand up. The prisoners around him who didn't get the bones were now glad that they didn't eat them.
Those who had eaten the bones had turned black and lost their vitality. The Demon-Suppressing Guard drew out the Demon-Suppressing Sword and chopped towards Zhou Chen's neck. At this moment, Zhou Chen showed a strange smile and said, "Boy, I will remember you." Then, before his sword fell on Zhou Chen's neck, Zhou Chen's body disappeared.
The guy was shocked when he saw this, and looked at the entire cell with horror, then left the cell in a hurry.
Zhou Chen, who was practicing at home, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Someone actually dared to attack me in the Demon Suppression Bureau."
