Chapter 188 City Protection Formation
If this kind of thing happened at any other time, it would be fine. At most, they could find a chance to take revenge in the future. But it is not possible now. After all, their mission this time is extraordinary.

"Girl, are you sure you want to be the enemy of the Blood Knife Sect?"
Yue cursed, "Are you going to beat me or not? If not, I'm leaving."

The leading man in red was about to take action when he heard an angry shout from behind him, "A bunch of idiots, this is what we are looking for." As he spoke, a middle-aged man walked over, and the moment he walked in, a smell of blood hit his face.

"Such a strong murderous aura."

"Yue, come with us," the people behind were shocked when they heard this. They only knew that the mission this time was for a sword, but what they never expected was that this woman was actually what they were looking for.

"Hey, aren't we looking for a sword? Is Elder Eagle confused?"
"What do you know? The sword must be on this woman."

Listening to the discussions of the people behind him, Elder Eagle shouted directly, "Shut up."

"Following us is much better than following that guy upstairs."

Yue didn't waste any more words with him. He just pointed with his two fingers and a huge sword energy flew out. The true energy in Elder Ying's body surged, and a wall of true energy immediately condensed in front of him.

The sword energy pierced his Qi wall, and after just a slight pause, it broke through his defense. Elder Eagle's face changed slightly when he saw this. Fortunately, he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been cut in two by the sword energy.

He dodged it, but the men behind him suffered. Many of them were strangled to death by the scattered sword energy.

Even the tables, chairs and benches in the inn were torn apart by the sword energy, and sword marks were left on the ground. At this time, the shopkeeper who had been hiding in the distance could not help but run out.

"Gentlemen, please go somewhere else to fight. Our shop is a small business and can't afford such trouble."

Elder Eagle turned his head and glared at him, "Get out!" As soon as he uttered the word "Get out", a breath of true energy spurted out of his mouth and hit the shopkeeper directly, killing him on the spot.

At this time, Zhou Chen was refining the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice in his dantian. With a bang, the size of the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice suddenly shrank by a layer, and an extremely cold breath merged into his dantian. At the same time, his mastery over the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice reached 20%.

At the same time, his skills also increased a lot, directly breaking through the thousand years. At the same time, his strength also directly increased by 20%.

Elder Eagle outside the door was in trouble. He was still careless. He did not expect that a mere sword spirit could have such powerful strength. At this time, he had already thought of retreating.

He just waved his hand and said, "Go and catch him for me." Then he turned around and was about to run. However, the moment he turned around, he found that all his men had fallen down, and Leng Yiyao and the other two were standing behind him.

Elder Eagle was so frightened that he screamed. Without waiting for him to react, Wang Yong directly stuck a piece of talisman paper on his head. In an instant, Elder Eagle found that he had lost control of his body and just stood there stupidly.

"You can't kill me. If I die, the Blood Knife Sect will never let it go."

The three of them looked at each other, and Leng Yiyao said directly, "I'm afraid, sister Xue Leng, you can do something." Then she pretended to cover her face and took a few steps back.

"Don't do it, I have important information."

Leng Ningshuang wouldn't believe what he said and was about to kill this guy. At this time, Zhou Chen's voice came over, "Wait."

Zhou Chen's figure flashed and appeared in front of Elder Eagle. The moment Zhou Chen arrived, the talisman paper on his head fell with the wind, and he instantly regained control of his body.

However, he still did not dare to move, because when he regained control of his body, an extremely cold air swept through his body. This cold air even froze the true energy in his body, making it impossible for him to even breathe out a breath of true energy.

Zhou Chen asked, "What information? If it's useful, I can consider letting you go." Elder Ying's legs were shaking with fear, "Our sect leader has teamed up with the Zhentian Demon King and is planning to attack your Wu'an County."

Zhou Chen frowned slightly, “Why would the Demon King Zhentian and his men attack Wu’an County?” You have to know that Wu’an County is different from some small villages and counties.

Not to mention anything else, even if it was the county magistrate, relying on the power of the empire's luck, ordinary warriors would not be his match.

Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold and said, "You are lying to me. How dare they attack Wu'an County?"

Elder Eagle was so scared that he quickly explained, "This is true. It is said that there is a treasure in Wu'an County that the Demon King Zhentian has coveted for a long time. This time, he is willing to join forces with our Blood Knife Sect just for that treasure."

"According to you, the so-called Sky-shaking Demon King is very powerful?"
"It is said that he has already stepped half a foot into the third rank. Otherwise, even with the luck of the empire, he would not dare to rashly attack such a big city."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Hearing what Zhou Chen said, Eagle Protector asked with a smile, "I have said everything I should say. Can I leave now?"
Zhou Chen smiled and patted his shoulder, "Your information is very useful. Okay, I'll take you away."

"Don't be so polite, sir. I can go by myself," he said as he walked cautiously towards the door.

Zhou Chen looked at his back with a sneer on his face. Wang Yong wanted to ask him the reason, but the next moment Zhou Chen directly snatched the long knife from his hand. Zhou Chen disappeared from the spot and at the same time appeared in front of Elder Eagle.

Elder Eagle looked at the bloody Demon-Slaying Sword in Zhou Chen's hand and uttered a few words with difficulty, "You don't keep your word," and then his head and body were separated.

Zhou Chen said to Leng Ningshuang and the other two, "The matter is urgent and we can't delay. Let's hurry back to Wu'an County."

On the other hand, in Wu'an County, a large number of people had gathered in the city. People from the surrounding villages had all gathered in the city, while those who were far away took refuge in the county town.

At this time, the city was already overcrowded with people, and the inns had long been full. Although the prices of guest rooms kept rising, there were still people willing to pay high prices to stay in them, while those poor people who had no money could only sleep on the streets.

Some brave ones would climb over the wall and enter the house to occupy its nest if no one was there.

When there are too many people, riots are likely to break out. The detectives from the Demon Suppression Division and the county government have been very busy these days. Forget about slacking off as they have to patrol the streets all day to maintain law and order.

At the same time, they were given orders from their superiors that if anyone caused trouble, they should be killed directly without reporting it. The Wu'an County's city defense formation had also been activated, and the sky above the entire Wu'an County was covered in a faint golden light.

This was the city defense formation. Even a peak fifth-rank warrior could not break it with a full-strength attack. Even a fourth-rank warrior could not break it in a short period of time.

If it reaches the third level, the effect of this barrier will be minimal. The purpose of their doing this is very simple. For some unknown reason, there have been a large number of monster attacks in Wu'an County in recent days.

Moreover, they are all powerful monsters. A large number of people have been killed in just a few days. There are too many monsters and the Demon Suppression Division cannot kill them all, so they can only temporarily gather the surrounding people into the city.

At this time, Zhou Chen and his companions arrived in the sky above Wu'an County on their flying swords. Of course, they didn't know how to fly with swords, but with Yue, that was not a problem.

Looking at Wu'an County below, Leng Ningshuang said, "It seems that we are still late. Even the city defense formation has been activated. Something big must have happened."

Then he said to Zhou Chen, "Brother Zhou, don't you have a jade pendant for transmitting sound? Hurry up and send a message to Lord Qinglong. The defense of this city defense formation is extremely high. If the city lord doesn't agree, we can't get in at all."
