Chapter 156 The mysterious strong man
Looking at the white tiger that was cut into two halves in front of him, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It seems that your formation is not that good." As soon as he finished speaking, the white tiger's body healed quickly, and at the same time, it opened its mouth and shot out a ray of light, directly towards his face.
Zhou Chen dodged quickly upon seeing this, then came behind him again and swung his knife, trying to cut it in half again. However, the white tiger suddenly turned around and its eyes shot out light.
Seeing this, he was shocked and immediately used his ultimate magical power, the Eye, and shot out a white light, which blocked the white tiger's attack.
He stood with a knife in hand and stared at the white tiger. The white tiger's attack power was not strong, but he could not really cut it down. He would definitely not be able to outlast it if he continued like this. Then he looked at the six warriors around him. Then he gave up the fight with the white tiger and turned to swing the knife at a warrior.
As a result, when he was about to reach him, he was blocked by an invisible wall and could not move forward any further. At this time, the white tiger behind him had already rushed over. Zhou Chen had no choice but to fight with the white tiger again. Then, he took advantage of a gap and rushed towards one of them again.
In an instant, the magical power of illusion was activated, and the wall in front of him was directly chopped into pieces by a single blow. At the same time, the formation shook and the figure of the white tiger behind him almost disappeared.
Zhou Chen ignored all this and went straight to meet the second attack, cutting it in half with one blow. Li Mu was furious when he saw this, and then he saw a man flying out from the room behind him and into the formation.
The White Tiger's figure immediately dissipated the moment he entered, and all the true energy transformed from the White Tiger poured into his body. Zhou Chen activated his skills and looked, and found that his skills, which originally only amounted to a hundred years, had directly soared to two hundred and fifty years.
As soon as they met, he slashed at Zhou Chen without saying a word. Zhou Chen did not dare to be careless and immediately activated the Gale Sword. The giant sword flew out. He originally thought that he would kill him directly, or at least repel him.
But the result was that the opponent actually caught the giant sword directly, and he used both hands to break the giant sword into pieces with one stroke.
"It seems that this formation not only improves his skills, but also greatly enhances his strength. I just don't know whether he has temporarily broken through to the fifth level with the help of the formation."
"My name is Yin Tinghua. Remember my name, so that you don't have to die in obscurity." Then he gathered his strength and slashed down with his sword. The powerful sword energy came directly in his face. Zhou Chen was shocked and the icy true energy burst out, and then the phantom killing was launched instantly.
The powerful Huansha was unable to withstand the sword, but fortunately he managed to block it. Then Zhou Chen swung the sword again to completely shatter the huge sword energy.
Then he jumped high up and stepped on the sixth level of Void Wind Sword with all his strength. The two swords crossed and shot out directly at Yin Tinghua. Yin Tinghua sneered and said, "Under normal circumstances, I would definitely not be your opponent, but now I have the blessing of a large formation, you are no match for me."
After saying that, he immediately gathered the power of the formation and condensed it in front of him. He slashed out with a huge sword energy to directly block the attacks of the two gale swords.
With Yin Tinghua's roar, the sword energy directly broke through the Gale Sword and headed straight for Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was shocked when he saw this and said, "I was careless. It seems I will die here today."
Then Zhou Chen took out the pill that Wang Liu had given him before. He had been reluctant to use this pill, but now he had no choice but to use it.
Just when he was about to swallow it, black mist suddenly gathered in front of him and blocked the fatal blow for him. When the sword energy dissipated, a man in black clothes and a mask stood in front of him.
Everyone present was shocked. Li Mu did not expect that there would be a strong person helping Zhou Chen behind the scenes. Zhou Chen was even more confused. He immediately opened his Ultimate Eye to check who the other party was. However, his Ultimate Eye could not see through the person in front of him.
Even his cultivation level could not be detected, and the only result obtained was a question mark. The man in black looked at Yin Tinghua in front of him and said angrily, "If you dare to hurt him, then die." From the sound of the voice, it turned out to be a woman's.
Zhou Chen tried hard to recall that he didn't seem to know any powerful female cultivators. To be more precise, he had no backing at all.
Yin Tinghua seemed to be relying on the blessing of the great formation, and did not take the woman in front of him seriously, "You are so arrogant, but I don't know if you have the strength to do it." After saying that, Yin Tinghua jumped high and swung his sword. The moment the sword energy slashed out, a white tiger phantom condensed and bit towards the woman.
The woman snorted coldly, raised her hand and pointed, and a black line shot out and pierced directly through the White Tiger Sword Qi, piercing Yin Tinghua's chest on the spot.
In an instant, countless black lines burst out from Yin Tinghua's body, and his life was completely gone at this moment.
Li Mu was shocked when he saw this. Although he was a fifth-grade cultivator and had the support of the formation, he would not be afraid of this female cultivator. However, it was not good to offend such a strong person for no reason.
He just took a step forward, and in just one step he stood in the void opposite the female cultivator. The female cultivator said, "Do you want to challenge me too?"
"It's not a challenge, but this person has a deep grudge against my Li family. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to take him away just based on your words."
"Oh, really?" The female cultivator raised her hand and slapped Li Mu. Li Mu frowned and slapped back. When the two palms collided, Li Mu fell directly from the air.
After landing, Li Mu bowed and said to the female cultivator, "This is all a misunderstanding. Since you want to take her away, just go."
The female cultivator smiled contemptuously and said, "He has a grudge against you. You can attack him openly, but using this protective formation to bully the weak is a bit of bullying." After saying that, she reached out and grabbed Zhou Chen's arm and left the Li family.
After the two men left, a priest came over and asked, "The master is letting them go now?"
"This woman is very strong. She may not lose if she fights hard, but there is no need to. Besides, he just said that as long as she doesn't bully the weak, it will be fine. Go find someone to keep an eye on him."
As for Zhou Chen, the masked man sent him out of the Li family and then left, without even giving Zhou Chen time to thank him. It was thanks to him that he helped today, otherwise he would really have to die in the Li family.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen's desire to improve his strength became stronger and stronger. At least he had to break through to the fifth level, otherwise he would be at a great disadvantage when encountering these warriors at the family head level.
A few days later, one afternoon, a big event happened in Wu'an County. This incident also caused a sensation in the entire Demon Suppression Division. The Demon Suppression Division immediately asked everyone to put down the cases in their hands and go to handle this matter. Even the hall master who rarely showed up came out in person.
This event is the emergence of the legendary Nine Nether Mysterious Ice, which ranks tenth on the Ice List. This is a rare treasure from heaven and earth. If an ice-attributed warrior obtains it, his strength will be qualitatively improved.
As for the place where the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice came out, it was not in the city, otherwise it would have been secretly hidden by someone long ago, and there was no way that the news would have leaked out.
Even so, the entire Wu'an County was shocked. According to intelligence, the whereabouts of the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice was in the hands of a group of grandfather and grandson, and the grandfather and grandson were said to be in Wu'an County now.
All of a sudden, all the forces in the city were looking for the grandfather and grandson, and during this period, the Demon Suppression Division captured countless elderly people and children.
Even the martial artists from big families were the same. As long as they saw a grandfather and grandson, they would capture them first without thinking about whether to do so or not. As a result, the elderly and children in the city were afraid to go out casually.
This disturbance lasted for more than a month before it improved, of course only slightly. Those wandering tourists had given up the idea, but the Demon Suppression Division and the major families were still searching secretly.
Zhou Chen originally held out a glimmer of hope, but seeing the current situation he gave up the idea. After all, so many high-ranking officials and strong men were eyeing the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice, and a mere Demon Suppression Guard like him didn't have the appetite to swallow it all by himself.
