Chapter 150 Ambush
"no problem".

Afterwards, Wang Liu told Zhou Chen the specific route of the Li family and the time to leave the city. There were still two days before they left the city, so Zhou Chen still had time to prepare. He first went to the Demon Suppression Division to ask Wang Yong and the others not to accept any tasks in the next few days, as he had something to do and would be away for a few days.

Although the grudge between him and the Li family could no longer be resolved, disguise was still necessary. Zhou Chen prepared a set of black clothes and a mask and left Wu'an County.

He couldn't possibly take action directly in the city, as that would be courting death. Zhou Chen chose to take action on the road they had to pass through. It was a full day's journey from here to Wu'an County, so even if they sent out a call for help, it would be too late.

For this mission, Zhou Chen also bought several bottles of Qi-restoring pills, which can restore the lost true Qi. Although one pill can only restore for ten years, it is not expensive. A bottle costs five hundred taels and contains thirty pills. Zhou Chen directly bought two bottles.

Although the Qi-regenerating pills from the Demon Suppression Division were effective, they required merit points. He did not have any extra merit points to purchase them, so he had no choice but to buy them at the pharmacy in the city. As for the silver he spent on the pills, Wang Liu naturally would not reimburse him, but that did not matter, as he did not lack that little silver now.

This is just a recovery pill. If it were those pills that assist in cultivation, they would be extremely expensive. Zhou Chen’s family background might not be enough for him to cultivate, but fortunately he has a system.

The Li family took the official roads. In today's world, there are not many people even on the official roads, but there are still occasional caravans passing by.

That evening, Zhou Chen finally saw the Li family's convoy. Zhou Chen immediately activated his skills to check and found that there were four sixth-grade warriors in the escort team. One of them had a skill level of 190 years, which was infinitely close to the fifth grade.

However, as long as one has not reached the fifth rank, he will not be a match for Zhou Chen. As for the seventh and eighth rank warriors, there are more than a dozen of them, and the rest are some ninth rank warriors. As for ordinary warriors, there are not many.

This escort team was powerful, but they were unlucky when they met Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen did not rush to take action, but quietly followed behind them. Although there were post stations on the official road, some people seldom stayed in the post stations to avoid unnecessary trouble, and lived in the wild most of the time.

After Zhou Chen followed them for ten miles, the team decided to set up camp. Zhou Chen hid and waited for the opportunity. It was not until the second half of the night that Zhou Chen chose to take action. Just as he was about to rush forward, he suddenly saw movement in the woods in the distance, and Zhou Chen quickly hid himself.

Then a masked man quietly walked out of the woods and came to the vicinity of the camp. It was impossible for a sixth-rank warrior to keep watch. Those who kept watch were only ordinary seventh- and eighth-rank warriors.

The man in black looked up, then took out a few incense sticks from his arms, lit them, and then inserted them into the upwind direction.

After a while, the seventh and eighth rank warriors who were in charge of night patrol touched their heads and fell to the ground. At the moment they fell, several sixth rank warriors suddenly opened their eyes and "stood alert", but those ordinary warriors had already been knocked unconscious and could not be awakened at all.

Although they were not knocked unconscious, their strength was greatly affected. Seeing this, the masked man rushed over. Zhou Chen said, “Fuck, this is awesome. Why didn’t I think of this idea?”

The masked man was also a genuine sixth-rank warrior. He could easily fight against four warriors whose strength was greatly weakened. However, he obviously did not want to conflict with them. The man in black went straight to the carriage. There were a lot of goods on the carriage, but he didn't want any of them. Instead, he went straight to the box at the bottom. After opening it and confirming it, he picked up the box and left.

Several sixth-rank warriors were trying their best to regulate their breathing. When they saw the box taken away by the man in black, four of them were shocked and attacked immediately.

Although their strength was greatly reduced, they still had a chance of winning in a four-on-one situation. Zhou Chen did not rush to attack and just watched the five people fighting. They did not care about the others lying unconscious on the ground. Those poor warriors were directly crushed and killed by their scattered true energy. After all, the man in black was no match for four hands with two fists. He was hit in the chest by a palm without paying attention and flew backwards immediately, and the wooden box in his arms flew out.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen immediately used Frost Phantom to grab the box when it was about to fall. The five people were shocked and immediately joined forces to deal with Zhou Chen, but they were all injured and could not chase Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen directly used his skills to leave the battlefield, leaving the five people in a daze.

Seeing that they could not catch up with Zhou Chen, the four men faced the masked man again. In their eyes, Zhou Chen and this guy were in the same group, and as long as they caught him, Zhou Chen would not be able to escape.

Zhou Chen ran for three miles and stopped when he saw no one was catching up with him. He opened the wooden box to confirm, but found it was empty. He became furious and smashed the wooden box with a palm, then turned back.

When he returned, although those ordinary warriors were still there, the five sixth-grade warriors were gone. Zhou Chen looked around and found bloodstains on the ground in the distance. He immediately chased in that direction. At the same time, he activated the Extreme Eye and looked forward. He found that the man in black was covered in wounds and had been forced into a desperate situation by the four men.

At this time, the man in black had reached the edge of the cliff. Seeing that there was no way out, he was determined to jump down. Fortunately, he was caught by a chain and pulled up at the last moment.

"Huh, we finally caught him. Let's go. As long as this guy is around, I don't believe he won't come back." Just when they were about to go back, Zhou Chen rushed out from the woods and slashed at the weakest one of the four with a knife.

He was caught off guard and hacked to death on the spot. The others also reacted quickly and immediately attacked Zhou Chen with a palm. Zhou Chen did not panic at all and went to meet the attack. With a bang, Zhou Chen's body retreated more than ten steps. Now the man in black was tied up by chains and could not escape. The three of them broke his two legs directly and then killed Zhou Chen.

The man in black screamed and fell to the ground. Looking at the three people rushing towards him, Zhou Chen was not afraid at all and said, "Hmph, I just use you to practice my sword."

He then raised the Black Abyss Wind and Cloud Sword in his hand. Although he did not activate the Ice Qi, the three of them still sensed a hint of threat. The Wind and Cloud Sword quickly condensed and then chopped down at the three of them.

They had no chance to dodge at all and had to use their internal energy to block it. With a loud bang, the Fengyun Sword shattered countless cold air and directly corroded their bodies, freezing the three of them into ice sculptures. At this time, two of the three had already died, while the remaining one, the strongest sixth-grade warrior, was still alive.

However, Zhou Chen would not give him any chance. He stepped forward and cut him in half with a single blow. Then he came to the man in black and cut off the chains on his body with a single blow.

"You were the one who moved the package, right?"
"I don't understand what you are saying. Didn't you take the things away?" It turned out to be a woman. Zhou Chen tore off his veil.

"Huh, I didn't expect it was a woman. But don't think you can fool me like this. Hand over the things."

"I really didn't. If there is a problem, they must have changed it secretly."

He really thought Zhou Chen was a fool. He had seen it clearly in secret before. This guy had clearly opened the box to confirm before taking it, and what Zhou Chen got was an empty box, so the thing must have been taken by this guy.
