Chapter 187 Selfishness
"Haha, Elder Shen is so polite." Then Zhou Chen was seen walking out of the crack, and the moment he walked out, the space crack healed instantly.

Shen Li was shocked when he saw this, "You, you are a third-grade warrior?"
"I'm still a long way from reaching the third rank. I only have the strength of the fifth rank."

"It's impossible for a fifth-rank warrior to tear the void. You must have hidden your strength. Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. The key is that you might not be able to survive." As he said this, a huge magic circle appeared behind him, and a hundred-meter-long dragon hovered in front of him. "Elder Shen, take it."

Shen Li looked at the giant dragon in horror. He felt the breath of death from it. His six hundred years of skills were now only about two hundred years left. He was unable to display his powerful martial arts at all. He could not withstand this move.

"Wait, as long as you can let me go, I promise that the Shen family will give up on trying to snatch Yue."

Looking at his pleading eyes, Zhou Chen snorted coldly, "Too late." Then he saw the huge ice dragon biting directly at him.

As one of the three elders of the Shen family, Shen Li naturally has life-saving things, but he was reluctant to use them before. Now that it is a matter of life and death, he is no longer hiding his incompetence.

He directly took out a crystal clear small sword from the storage ring. As he sprayed a mouthful of blood on the sword, the finger-sized small sword immediately burst out with endless sword intent, and then turned into a hundred-meter sword energy and slashed towards the ice dragon.

The ice dragon opened its mouth wide without any fear, choosing to directly withstand the power of the sword. As a result, its body was almost split in two.

Shen Li's sword energy had also exhausted its power. Zhou Chen mobilized the true energy in his body, and the ice dragon's body quickly recovered.

Shen Li was shocked when he saw this. That was a sword intent formed by the Shen family's ancestor's thousand-year-old power. Their three elders each had one sword, but this guy was actually blocked.

Zhou Chen did not give him much time to react. Seeing that he was still in a daze, Zhou Chen's mind moved, and the ice dragon attacked again. Shen Li gritted his teeth again and took out a piece of black talisman paper with a twisted word "escape" drawn on it.

Shen Li activated his true energy, and the next moment the talisman paper burned. His figure began to become illusory. Before he completely disappeared, he sent a message to Zhou Chen, "Boy, I will remember you. My Shen family will never let you go." Then he completely disappeared into the air before the ice dragon arrived.

Zhou Chen had no way to deal with this, because there was no trace of Shen Li nearby. Even if Zhou Chen mastered the power of space, he could not do anything, because he did not know Shen Li's location, and naturally did not know where to chase him.

Helplessly, he had to return to the place where he had just been. When he came back, the three of them were resting there, while those people from the Shen family were all lying in a pool of blood.

Yue was the first to notice Zhou Chen's breath and immediately flew to Zhou Chen's side, "Master, you are back."

Leng Ningshuang also asked, "How is it, Brother Zhou?"
"He ran faster than a rabbit and couldn't be caught."

"So what should we do now?"
"Anyway, let's go back to Wu'an County now that we have the stuff," and then he led a few people directly out of the mountain. On the way down the mountain, they found a few pieces of silver on the ground. Zhou Chen recognized these pieces of silver because they were the ones Zhou Chen had given to Bai Zixiang before.

Looking at the blood on the ground, several people had probably guessed Bai Zixiang's fate. There was nothing else nearby except dozens of taels of silver.

To their surprise, when they came down the mountain, the horses they had hidden in the dense forest had disappeared, so they had no choice but to walk back to Nanyang County.

They had no plan to stay for long, but prepared to eat something, buy a few fast horses and leave Nanyang County. As for Yue, he had stayed underground for hundreds of years and finally came out. He found everything around him new and novel. Zhou Chen did not give up his plan, but let him wander around the city.

Since Yue recognized him as her master, they had an inexplicable connection, and they felt that they could communicate with each other in their hearts no matter how far apart they were. However, Zhou Chen remembered that he had never signed a master-servant contract with him or refined him. Zhou Chen was also very confused and asked Yue about this. Yue said that since she recognized him as her master, there was no need to refine him. As for the so-called induction, he couldn't explain it clearly.

But what he didn't know was that the moment he held Yue's hand for the first time, Yue used the icy energy that he injected into her body to sign a contract with him, or in other words, had left a mark on his soul that would not change unless he died.

After they were ready, they left Nanyang County. As for Yue Zhouchen, he had only one thought in mind, and Yue walked out of the city.

He reunited with them in less than half an hour. Looking at the large and small bags of food on him, Leng Yiyao couldn't help but ask, "Why do you sword spirits also need to eat?"
Yue smiled and said, "I haven't been out for a long time. Although I don't need to eat, it's okay to try the food." Then she handed the food in her hand to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen took two steps back and refused with a smile, "No, I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself."

Afterwards, several people rode away on horseback. This time they did not use the Thousand Mile Talisman. After all, that thing was too expensive. Now that the thing was in hand, there was no need to rush.

Yue did not ride a horse, but flew in the air. At this moment, under his feet was a flying sword formed by the condensed sword energy.

The journey was long and they were in no hurry to play while walking. It was a good opportunity for Zhou Chen to think about how to explain to Qinglong after returning. Judging from Yue's attitude, he would not recognize Qinglong as his master anymore. Of course, the most important thing was that when Zhou Chen learned about Yue's attributes, he felt reluctant to let her go.

The worst that could happen is that he would just learn sword skills instead of sword skills. With the system, this is not a problem for him. One night five days later, everyone found an inn to rest. Late at night, a group of warriors in red clothes sneaked into the inn.

Tenants who came out to get up at night had their necks twisted before they could even ask questions when they saw them. Their target was clearly Zhou Chen and his friends who were staying on the second floor.

At this time, Zhou Chen was practicing quietly and didn't pay attention to the situation outside. However, he was not without precautions. He had asked Yue to pay attention to the surrounding situation. As a sword spirit, it didn't matter whether he slept or not.

At this time, Yue had already transformed into his original form, lying quietly on the table in the room. Sensing the unusual movement outside, Yue directly transformed into the form of a sword spirit. He did not rush to wake up Zhou Chen who was practicing, but turned into a wisp of sword energy and floated out of the room.

After coming outside, he saw a group of people in red walking upstairs. Not only that, he could also feel movement coming from the roof. Seeing this, Yue called Zhou Chen in his heart, "Master is in danger."

"I understand. You block me for a while. I can't be distracted at this critical moment in my cultivation."

"I got it. Just focus on your practice and leave these minions to me."

All the sword energy turned into a woman. The men in red were shocked when they saw her, "Who is she?" As the leader waved his hand, the warriors behind him, including the warrior in red on the roof, all attacked.

However, just as they were about to take action, they saw countless sword energies suddenly emerge from the surroundings, directly killing those warriors, leaving only a few warriors with strong strength to escape.

The man in black bowed and said, "We are not here to cause trouble to you. Please don't interfere with our work. We, the Blood Knife Sect, are not to be trifled with."

"What the hell is the Blood Knife Sect? Get out of here now and don't disturb my master's practice." Although he is a sword spirit, he is not stupid. He knows that these people must be here for him.
