Chapter 191 Crisis
During this period of time, he has been trying to break through to the third level, but the results were not satisfactory. At this time, Yue was placed next to him. Since Yue came to him, she has been in her original form and has not transformed into the form of a sword spirit. He even ignored Zhen Nantian's inquiries.

Zhen Nantian was helpless about this, but fortunately this sword did not need to be refined. As long as Yue did not refuse him to use himself, his attributes would be useful to Zhen Nantian.

Holding the hilt of the sword and feeling the increase in strength, Zhen Nantian felt much more at ease. This time, he was the only one who could rely on him. Although the city lord was blessed with the luck of the empire, he was just a scholar after all. With the help of the luck, his strength had barely reached the fourth rank. He could not help at all with this matter.

In addition, he had to maintain the city defense formation and could not spare the time.

At this time in the City Lord's Mansion, an old man was sitting cross-legged in a secret room. Above his head was an official seal, emitting a faint golden light.

The old man slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "Alas, this city defense formation consumes a lot of energy. I wonder how long my official seal can last."

At this time, outside the city, above the monster's head, the space suddenly became distorted, and then a crack appeared, and a strong man walked out of it.

Seeing this, the guards on the city wall immediately clenched their weapons nervously. Zhou Chen was also extremely nervous because he felt an extremely dangerous aura from this guy.

After he came out, the space crack behind him had healed. After the man came out, all the monsters under his feet prostrated themselves on the ground, and those monsters that transformed into human forms knelt on the ground and said, "Welcome, Lord Demon King."

"He is the Demon King Zhentian." Noticing Zhou Chen's gaze, the Demon King Zhentian looked down at Zhou Chen on the city wall and said, "I didn't expect that I would encounter the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice. It seems that I can take it away later."

He just shouted to the people in the city, "Zhen Nantian, here I come." His voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone in the city.

The next moment, an extremely strong sword intent burst out from the Demon Suppression Division, and the next moment it appeared above Zhou Chen and the others. Zhen Nantian stood in front with Yue in his hand, and behind him were the three hall masters of Qinglong, Xuanwu and Zhuque.

The Demon King Zhentian looked at the long sword in Zhennantian's hand and said with a smile, "It seems that you have found a good sword."

"Demon King, I don't want to be your enemy. Please retreat. It is not a wise choice to be an enemy of the empire."

"Haha, does the current Emperor of Daxia have the mind to take care of you? He himself is too busy."

Upon hearing this, the sword intent in Zhennantian's body burst out, and his momentum was no less than that of the Demon King Zhentian. Suddenly, a gap appeared above the city defense formation, and Zhennantian rushed out directly.

Seeing him come out, the demonic energy around the Zhentian Demon King burst out, and he directly blocked the sword energy that was approaching him, "Hmph, that's right, but it's a pity that I am no longer the same person I used to be. If it were in the past, I would have been defeated without a doubt. But now I have already stepped half a foot into the third level, you are not my opponent."

After saying that, the two started fighting. Zhen Nantian didn't want to fight here, so he fought and retreated and flew directly to the sky. The Demon King Zhentian chased him and disappeared into the clouds in an instant.

The demons below began to form a formation. Although it was called a large formation, it actually did not require many people to cast spells. I saw a few fifth- and sixth-grade demon beasts starting to form the formation. Then I saw streams of blood emanating from the lower-level demon beasts behind them.

"Qinglong was a little shocked when he saw this. He thought that they were going to use the blood and energy of millions of monsters to break through the city defense formation."

As soon as these words came out, an old man appeared directly in front of Qinglong, and the three hall masters bowed and saluted "City Lord".

The old man nodded, and saw the official seal floating above his head shining brightly. "Hmph, you dare to show off your skills in front of an expert." The city defense formation of Wu'an County was strengthened again. At this time, a huge axe condensed from blood and energy on the head of the monster outside the city. As the leading monster swung down with both hands, the giant axe in the air also chopped down towards the city defense formation.

With a loud bang, the huge formation above their heads trembled slightly to block the attack. Everyone was delighted to see this, but Qinglong could see clearly that the city lord's face looked a little worse than before. Obviously, although he had withstood the attack, he was not feeling well.

Qinglong saw that it was not a good idea for everyone to continue like this, so he followed me to break the formation. Then, the moment the city defense formation was opened, Qinglong flew out first, and the other two hall masters followed closely behind Qinglong.

After the three of them went out, they did not try to block the giant axe that was chopping down from the air, but attacked the monsters on the ground. Although this formation was powerful, it was only an attacking formation, not a defensive formation.

I saw a green dragon swooping down on the two fifth-grade monsters on the ground. Seeing this, the two monsters quickly withdrew their power to defend themselves. In an instant, the power of the giant axe in the air was reduced, and it didn't hurt at all when it hit the city defense formation. The three hall masters joined forces and quickly restrained the formation.

At this moment they had lost their most important fighting force. Even though they had a large number of people, they were unable to gather the power of the formation again.

The crisis in Wu'an County could be stabilized temporarily. At this moment, everyone was looking outside the city, while no one in the city was paying attention. At this moment, some people in the crowd in the city suddenly pulled out long knives from somewhere, and they chopped anyone they saw without mercy. In an instant, the people in the city suffered heavy casualties.

A man in red also walked out of a dilapidated house. He raised his hand slightly, and the blood energy around him quickly condensed in front of him and turned into a blood-red sword.

The long sword was aimed at the city lord in the air in the distance, and as the man in red waved his hand, the long sword flew out.

At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the outside of the city. No one expected that such a thing would happen in the city. They saw the red blood sword go straight through the body. It was fortunate that the city lord realized the danger in an instant, otherwise the sword would have pierced his heart directly.

The city lord spat out a mouthful of blood, and the city defense formation above Wu'an County dimmed instantly, showing a tendency to collapse. Seeing this, the city lord hurriedly raised his true energy again to stabilize the formation.

At this moment, the warriors on the city wall noticed the changes in the city. They saw dozens of warriors jumping down from the city wall and rushing towards the city.

Among them was Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen and Leng Yiyao were seen quickly rushing towards the direction of the man in red. Judging from their clothes, they should be members of the Blood Knife Sect.

"I forgot about them."

The ice had already appeared in his hand before the man arrived. At this time, near the man in red were the corpses of ordinary people except his men. Seeing Zhou Chen rushing towards him, the man in red waved his embroidered robe and a burst of blood rushed towards Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chenbing swung his sword, and a ray of energy flew past. All the blood energy was corroded by the cold air and turned into a ball of ice. Then the ice quickly condensed into countless small swords and shot towards the men beside the man in red.

Although the man in red was very strong and blocked the attack of the flying sword, his men did not have that strength and simply lay in a pool of blood.

At this time, the street beneath his feet was already a blood-red color. Zhou Chen did not fall to the ground, but stood on the head of the man in red with his feet in the void. He was not angry at all that Zhou Chen killed his men. Instead, he looked at Zhou Chen with a smile.

Then the corpses on the ground were quickly swallowed by the blood. Within a few seconds, all the corpses were submerged in the blood. Only Zhou Chen and the man in red were left within a radius of several hundred meters.
