Chapter 210 Breakthrough to the Fourth Level
At the moment of collision, a huge breath burst out, Zhou Chen's figure retreated several meters directly, and the city lord's clone directly collapsed.

When the city lord noticed the abnormality of the clone, he was also shocked. He did not expect that Zhou Chen’s strength would be so strong now.

At this moment, the city lord used a powerful thunder martial art, directly shattering the three void magic swords.

Then the main body rushed directly towards Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen sneered and released his magical power Ice Explosion. A palm-sized lotus condensed from his palm and flew towards the city lord.

"Hmph, a mere trick." He simply waved his hand and sent out a bolt of lightning, hoping to use it to shatter the ice lotus. Seeing this, Zhou Chen retreated rapidly. The moment the lotus was hit, it exploded with a loud bang. A huge breath burst out, and a gap was blasted in the void.

Even though he was prepared, Zhou Chen was still shocked by the power of the explosion. He saw the city lord flying backwards in a panic. Although the explosion did not kill him, he was seriously injured.

Afterwards, Zhou Chen made some hand gestures again and Ao Long Yu activated. A hundred-meter-long ice dragon appeared behind Zhou Chen, opening its bloody mouth and spewing out an extremely cold breath.

The city lord quickly mobilized the thunder power around him to resist, but with his fourth-grade strength, he was unable to withstand the cold air. When he was about to be defeated, the figure of the ice dragon began to become illusory and then disappeared.

The city lord was overjoyed upon seeing this, "Haha, after all, you are only a fifth-grade cultivator with limited internal strength. Now that your internal strength is exhausted, I wonder what other tricks you have."

As he spoke, he condensed a lightning spear and threw it towards Zhou Chen. He was right. Due to excessive use of martial arts, Zhou Chen had very little true energy left in his body.

The sword-wielding technique he used before entering the alien space consumed half of his internal energy. Now that he was performing several powerful martial arts moves in succession, it would be a wonder if he had enough internal energy. Even with the magical power of the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower, his internal energy could not keep up.

Seeing that the lightning spear was about to hit Zhou Chen, Yue directly transformed into a sword spirit and blocked Zhou Chen.

However, his cultivation was at most at the peak of the fifth rank, and he was no match for the city lord. He could not withstand the lightning spear at all, and he tried his best to change the flight trajectory of the lightning spear, and he himself was seriously injured.

The sword intent around Yue was greatly reduced, and he turned back to his original state and fell beside Zhou Chen.

Seeing that his attack missed, the city lord once again condensed a lightning spear and was ready to say to Zhou Chen, "I wonder who can save you this time."

At this moment, Zhou Chen's mouth was lit up with a smile, and then his magical powers were activated. A huge magic circle immediately appeared under his feet. The moment the magic circle appeared, streams of pure true energy poured into Zhou Chen's dantian. In just three seconds, Zhou Chen's true energy was restored to its peak state.

This is the boundless magical power that Zhou Chen has never used before. After releasing it, he can instantly restore his true Qi in a very short time. However, this magical power has a flaw, which is that it cannot be used continuously. There is a cooling time of twelve hours after each use.

At this time, the city lord also noticed Zhou Chen's abnormality and quickly threw out the lightning spear.

Zhou Chen held the long sword and the Fengyun Sword in his hand and condensed it, and directly blocked the attack with one blow.

At the same time, Zhou Chen opened a crack in the void behind him, and left a sentence before leaving, "It's still a little short, but don't worry, the next time we meet will be the day of your death." After that, Zhou Chen entered the crack.

"Hmph, there is a huge formation around you, do you think you can escape?" Ten minutes later, he was still the only one in this alien space, and Zhou Chen did not appear again. "That's strange, why hasn't he appeared yet? It shouldn't be possible. With a huge formation around him, it's impossible for him to tear through the void and leave."

How could he know that Zhou Chen did not actually leave, but used the power of space to construct an alternate dimension. At this time, Zhou Chen was sitting in the alternate dimension and eating barbecue.

While grilling meat, he laughed and said, "Although this formation is powerful, it cannot block his spatial force. It can only prevent him from using the spatial force to complete long-distance transmission, but it should be no problem for him to open up an alternate space."

At this time, Zhou Chen planned to start practicing after eating and drinking his fill here. He planned to improve his strength to the fourth level before going out. By then, that guy would be at his mercy.

Zhou Chen’s current strength is very close to his. After he breaks through to the fourth level, even if the big monster is at the peak of the fourth level, he will not be his opponent.

After waiting for an hour, the strange space where the city lord was located began to collapse. He could only shake his head helplessly and left. When he came out, the formation in the city had dissipated. The sacrifices he had prepared before could only last for so long. If he wanted to open it again, he had to offer sacrifices again.

The human race was fine, but he was reluctant to let go of the one thousand monsters. After all, as the city lord, he couldn't just kill the monsters without scruples, let alone the powerful monsters. It would be bad if it caused a mutiny. Although his strength was the strongest in Qiushan City, there were also many monsters with fourth-grade cultivation. If they joined forces, he would have a headache.

In a blink of an eye, another half a month has passed. Zhou Chen has been staying in the different space during this period and has not left. This different space only requires a large amount of true energy when it is just opened up, and it does not require too much true energy to maintain it subsequently.

So as long as Zhou Chen is willing, he can stay here forever. On this day, Zhou Chen was practicing with his eyes closed, when suddenly a huge amount of cold air burst out from his body. The moment the cold air came out, it filled the entire alien space. A minute later, the cold air gathered towards his body again.

At the same time, Zhou Chen's cultivation was also rising rapidly. In just ten minutes, the true energy in Zhou Chen's body reached a peak. However, the external cold air had not been completely absorbed and was continuing to gather into his body.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, as if some barrier was broken through. The capacity of Zhou Chen's Dantian rapidly expanded. The sense of security in his Dantian disappeared instantly, and his cultivation level also improved qualitatively.

Looking at his attributes, Zhou Chen smiled. Now that he has broken through to the fourth level, his strength has directly increased by 50%. Although he has just broken through to the fourth level.

However, he was confident that he could directly kill the city lord who was at the peak of the fourth rank. Then Zhou Chen opened a crack and left directly. After Zhou Chen left, this strange space began to collapse.

It was night in Qiushan City at this time. Zhou Chen appeared quietly above the town without attracting anyone's attention. Zhou Chen turned his head to look in the direction, then directly tore a hole in the void and drilled in. When he appeared again, he had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhou Chen used his magical powers to travel thousands of miles quickly in the mansion. The guards in the mansion could not detect his presence at all, and he found the location of the city lord in just two minutes. At this time, he was in seclusion practicing. The previous battle with Zhou Chen gave him some enlightenment, and now he has been in seclusion for half a month, and is about to break through the bottleneck and reach the half-step third level.
