Chapter 195 Disaster
Tonight, Zhou Chen took Leng Yiyao and the other two to patrol in Luyuan County as usual. Now that this incident has caused an uproar in the city, after nightfall, even if the county magistrate did not give any orders, all the people would go back to their houses to sleep on their own, canceling their nightlife, and all those who set up stalls at night have disappeared.
It is a rainy night tonight, and heavy rain has been falling. Although there are no civilians, there are many soldiers and constables patrolling the streets in straw raincoats.
Zhou Chen and his team were also on patrol, but they did not patrol the streets. Instead, they shuttled across the rooftops.
Sometimes when they were tired, they would choose a rooftop to sit down and rest. Leng Yiyao sat next to Zhou Chen, took out a kettle and handed it to him. Zhou Chen just took a sip and handed it back. This was not ordinary water, but it contained the medicinal power of the Qi-restoring Pill. It was of no use to Zhou Chen, but very useful to Leng Ningshuang and Wang Yong.
While he was resting, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire night in an instant. At that moment, Zhou Chen saw a dark shadow in the distance. He thought, "Something is happening," and then he tiptoed and rushed over there.
On the other side, a man in black came to the door of a civilian's house. The moment the man in black raised his hand, a burst of demonic energy directly broke the bolt behind the door. Just as he was about to push the door open, a long sword flew towards him, and before he could react, he was pinned to the ground.
After his death, the man in black immediately turned back into his original form, a two-meter-tall wolf demon with a strength of about level seven.
The long sword flew back to Zhou Chen and hovered behind him. This scene did not alarm the people in the house. Zhou Chen had now cultivated the sword-controlling technique to the limit and no longer needed to deliberately control it or infuse it with true energy.
Although controlling the flying sword still consumes inner energy, he can now control it with just a thought, and his flexibility has greatly improved.
Moreover, the power of the Sword Controlling Technique is many times stronger than that of the Water Sword Kill. It is simply like one is in heaven and the other is on earth.
Leng Yiyao and the other two did not follow. This kind of situation has been happening frequently recently and they have become accustomed to it. Zhou Chen was not interested in the corpses of the monsters on the ground as he still had a lot of stock in his storage ring.
It wouldn't be long before someone came to clean up after Zhou Chen left. When he returned, he found that Leng Yiyao and the others had already left the roof. Zhou Chen opened his Extreme Eye to check and found that the three of them were already fighting with several monsters.
The strength of these monsters are all at the seventh level. Leng Ningshuang and the other two are not strong enough, but fortunately, Leng Yiyao is there, so they are able to avoid being defeated in a short time.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen waved his hand, and Yue, who was floating behind him, flew out directly, turning into three identical long swords in the air, directly killing several monsters.
Afterwards, Zhou Chen obtained three more demon patterns. Zhou Chen once thought of adding demon patterns to Wang Yong and the other two, but he gave up in the end to be on the safe side.
Zhou Chen came to the front of the few people and said, "There are quite a lot of monsters breaking into the city tonight. Everyone, be careful and don't be careless."
At this time, deep in the Wuhua Mountain, the Demon King Zhentian had just finished sucking blood. After a month of recuperation, his injuries were getting better. "How are you doing with the things I assigned you?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Heixuan has already gone there, and he should be close to succeeding, so you can rest assured."
"Well, since that guy is Yue's master, his strength should be strong. You must not be careless."
"Don't worry, my king. We have already figured out his strength during this period. Although he is strong, it all depends on the power of the famous sword. Without the famous sword, he will be at the mercy of others."
In Luyuan County, in just two hours, Zhou Chen and his team had killed no less than ten monsters. Normally, they would not encounter so many monsters in one night.
Moreover, the heavy rain in the sky continued to fall, with no intention of stopping. The water in the city was also rising. Fortunately, the drainage system in the city was still good, so it was not flooded by the rain. However, if it continued like this, it would be hard to say. Zhou Chen and his friends were sitting on the roof to rest. Zhou Chen accidentally looked up at the sky and suddenly found something wrong, because a pattern appeared in the sky at some point. This pattern was formed by a faint black light and could not be seen at all without careful observation.
At this moment, a black light suddenly flashed in the air, and for an instant Zhou Chen felt that his strength was suppressed, "Haha, the formation is complete, so what if you discover it."
A man appeared in the air. Leng Ningshuang and the other two drew out their demon-suppressing swords from their waists. However, due to the suppression of the formation, they could no longer exert 50% of their strength.
The officers in charge of patrolling the city also fainted and lay on the ground. Strange patterns appeared in the places where the monsters had appeared before.
Zhou Chen had seen this guy before. He was seen outside the city of Wu'an County that day. "After so long, a guy who I like finally came."
"Oh, it seems you are very dissatisfied with the guy who came here before?"
"Of course. They are too weak. Taking action against them would be an insult to my strength."
After hearing this, the man became furious and said, “Shut up, you are talking nonsense. Let me see what you are capable of.”
Then he just waved his hand, and dozens of black light beams emerged from the city immediately, and finally formed a huge dragon pattern in the air. The moment the pattern was formed, a huge demonic power gathered directly towards the man's body.
"After sacrificing so many of our kind, today is finally the time to reap the rewards."
Looking at his ever-increasing strength, Zhou Chen sneered and said, "It seems that you are not fearless and come here to die. Humph, only you demons would do such a thing as sacrificing your companions."
"Hmph, don't be so self-righteous. You humans are the same, aren't your so-called imperial destiny the same, coming at the cost of absorbing the lives of ordinary people?"
This sentence shocked Zhou Chen directly, but he felt relieved after thinking about it. How could he believe the words of a monster?
Although his formation had a suppressive effect, it was only for warriors below the fifth rank. For Zhou Chen, it could only suppress 10% of his power at most, which was not a big deal at all.
A long sword first appeared behind Zhou Chen, and then quickly split in the man's surprised gaze. In just a few seconds, hundreds of long swords had condensed behind Zhou Chen.
Yue can increase his attack power by 100%, and the suppressing effect of this formation is completely ineffective. Zhou Chen just waved his hand, and a large number of flying swords directly attacked the dragon pattern in the air.
At the same time, he sent out half of his flying swords to attack the man, starting with the dragon. Seeing the flying sword coming towards him, he directly condensed the surrounding rain to form a layer of protection in front of him. However, his protection was defeated the moment it touched the flying sword, and his body was smashed to pieces in the dense rain of swords.
The moment the dragon was defeated, the power of the formation was instantly damaged, and the man's strength, which had just been increased, dropped by half, which weakened the defense in front of him by 50%, and then he was instantly defeated by the flying sword.
He quickly transformed into his original form and fled away at a high speed. Zhou Chen would never let him escape so easily. After all, a fifth-grade monster was not easy to find. He waved his hand again, and the flying sword quickly chased after him. Zhou Chen himself also tore through the void and chased after him.
