Chapter 172 Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower

After swinging the sword a few times casually, he sheathed it and prepared to leave. Not only him, but many buyers also left the room and walked out of the Treasure Pavilion after getting their items. The difference between them and Zhou Chen was that they all traveled in groups and very few left alone like Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen could feel that he was being targeted as soon as he walked out of the room, but the other party did not dare to snatch the treasure here. Instead, he wanted to wait until Zhou Chen left the black market before taking action.

Zhou Chen sneered inwardly and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he continued to wander around the black market for a few more rounds before planning to leave. When he passed through the crack again, the scene in front of him changed again. The place he came out of was different from the entrance. The entrance was inside the city while the exit was outside the city.

After coming out, there were no black market guards outside, and the masks on their faces did not need to be recovered. As soon as the sun rose, these things would immediately disappear into thin air.

After the others came out, they left immediately. Zhou Chen also immediately moved away from the exit. Not long after he left, he realized that he was being followed, and the people following him were the two people who had followed him in the black market before.

After coming out, they were no longer timid and immediately quickened their pace to chase after them. Zhou Chen had no intention of hiding, but there were too many people coming out of the black market exit, so he wanted to lure them away and find a deserted place to start his attack.

After feeling that it was almost time, Zhou Chen slowed down again. At this time, the two had come in front of him. "Boy, let's see where you can run. Hand over the things obediently," he said, stretching out his right hand.

"If you want something, just come and get it with your strength," he said as he unsheathed the knife, "This is a good opportunity for me to try out the power of this knife."

The moment the long sword was unsheathed, the air around them suddenly dropped, and the two men took out their weapons from their storage bags.

"Tell me how many of my blows you two can take," he said as he swung his sword and rushed forward. At the same time, he used Phantom Kill to cut down the two men with just one move. Before the two men could react, their heads flew out.

"A good knife wasted to deal with you."

The moment the ice melted and penetrated his body, the blood on the wound had been solidified by the cold air, and the blood did not even touch the blade. After putting away the long sword, Zhou Chen planned to return to Wu'an County. Although the city gates were closed at night, Zhou Chen could enter the city quietly by using the Frost Phantom.

Just as he was walking into the city on the void, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting below. Out of curiosity, Zhou Chen looked down and found dozens of people surrounding and killing several people. "Hmph, old man, hand over the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower quickly, and I can spare your life, otherwise you will die."

Zhou Chen, who originally just wanted to watch the fun, had evil thoughts the moment he heard about the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower. The reason why the Magical Instrument Auction House didn't sell it was because they didn't have much money, and there was no need to waste too much on such an external object. Now that they were being besieged, he might be able to take advantage of the chaos to snatch the thing.

Although they were strong, they could not withstand the outnumbered crowd and were soon covered in wounds. "We are from the Miedao Sect. How dare you steal our things? Aren't you afraid of revenge in the future?"
"Hmph. As long as we kill you all, no one will know it was us. We will leave Wu'an County immediately after we get the stuff. Do you think you can extend your hands to the entire Daxia after destroying the Dao Sect?"

In just over ten minutes, they were all killed or wounded, leaving only one person still guarding the Linglong Tower. He died with a single blow of the sword. The only remaining man in black immediately stepped forward to search for the Linglong Tower.

The moment they took out the Linglong Tower from the storage bag, an extremely cold breath came from above their heads. Before they could react, Zhou Chen's Fengyun Sword had already chopped down.

After the cold air dissipated, even the surrounding trees were covered with a layer of frost. Zhou Chen quickly landed and waved his hand to melt the ice on the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower. He then put it into his storage ring without checking it and left quickly. As for those who were frozen, the cold air entered their bodies, and their blood and bones were frozen. They were already dead. As Zhou Chen's Gale Sword shot out, the raging sword energy directly crushed them all.

Soon after Zhou Chen left, a group of people in red came here. An old man among them held a compass in his hand and looked at it. "The young master sent out the signal from this location before. Let's spread out and see if the young master is still safe."

Zhou Chen rushed back home without stopping and finally felt relieved. He then quickly took out the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower. Magical tools are different from weapons. Magical tools recognize their masters, but weapons can be used by anyone unless they have reached the heavenly level.

Zhou Chen had also seen how to refine magic weapons in the library of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Low-level magic weapons like this were very easy to refine. One just had to infuse true Qi into them and subdue the spirit inside the magic weapon.

Zhou Chen did not hesitate and quickly sat down cross-legged to try to refine it. When his true energy entered the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower, his consciousness was also sucked into it at this moment.

Looking around, it was dark. In front of me, a seven-story pagoda emitting a faint golden light was suspended in the air.

Before he could observe more, a golden light emanated from the exquisite tower and shot towards him. Zhou Chen was shocked and immediately used his true energy to resist. What shocked him was that the attack power of this golden light was not weaker than the full-strength attack of a sixth-grade warrior.

"Hmph, just submit to me obediently." Then a huge amount of icy energy surged out, directly repelling his golden light. Then Zhou Chen took two steps forward and used his hand as a knife to condense the Fengyun Sword. He roared and swung the sword down.

The power of the Fengyun Sword after being enhanced by the demon patterns has far exceeded the limit of yellow-grade martial arts. After one slash of the sword, the Linglong Tower was instantly frozen. Under the erosion of the cold air, the golden light on his body immediately dimmed until it was completely extinguished.

After he was completely extinguished, the Linglong Tower exploded instantly, and then turned into golden light and entered Zhou Chen's dantian. There was no need to find something to put away the magic weapon, because the magic weapon could be directly stored in the dantian. At this moment, a small seven-story tower appeared next to the Jiuyou Xuanbing in his dantian.

When Zhou Chen opened his eyes, the small tower in front of him had disappeared. As Zhou Chen raised his right hand, an illusory Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower appeared in his hand. This tower had seven floors, and each floor had a magical power. However, Zhou Chen could only use the magical power of the first floor at this time. The remaining six floors required Zhou Chen to nourish and refine them slowly with his true energy every day.

The first level of magical power is an attacking power called Suppression. Its specific function is to summon the phantom of a pagoda and smash it towards the enemy. As for its specific power, he doesn't know it yet, but Zhou Chen guessed that it should not be lower than the full-strength attack of a sixth-grade warrior.

The specific attack power depends on Zhou Chen’s own realm. As his strength increases, the power will naturally increase.

On the second day, after Zhou Chen had breakfast, he went to the Demon Suppression Bureau. Qinglong came back today, and he brought a shocking news as soon as he arrived. A demon was originally suppressed in the deepest part of Wuhua Mountain, but recently the seal showed signs of loosening. Qinglong went out this time to strengthen the seal.

However, Qinglong underestimated his strength, and the seal reinforcement failed this time. Although the demons have not escaped yet, a large amount of demonic energy has been emitted from the seal. Now Wuhua Mountain is covered by demonic energy. The monsters on the mountain have been eroded by the demonic energy and have lost their sanity and turned into evil demons that only know how to kill. After being eroded by the demonic energy, their strength has also been improved.
