Chapter 212 Silencing
Zhou Chen was not afraid at all in the face of his threat, "Oh, really? In that case, let me see how powerful you are."
As soon as these words were spoken, the fox demon's human head instantly turned into a furry fox head. Zhou Chen had no intention of retreating and just stared at him.
The fox demon sighed and said, "What do you want? I really don't have any treasures that you can use. These are all things that only demons can use. There is also some gold and silver. If you want it, I can give it to you."
Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "Okay, do me a favor, and after you're done I can promise not to kill you."
Then Zhou Chen whispered a few words to him, and the fox demon's expression immediately changed after hearing his words.
But he still nodded. Seeing him nod, Zhou Chen left here with satisfaction.
On the second day, news came from the deputy city lord's mansion that the whereabouts of the city lord had been found. The city lord went out of the city the night before to deal with a strong human being. He tried his best to kill him, but he was also seriously injured and is now recuperating outside the city.
Then he summoned the strong men in the city to go out of the city to welcome the city lord. The monkey demon still had a very high prestige in Qiushan City. As soon as the fox demon said this, the strong men in the city immediately set out.
Ten fourth-grade monsters plus thirty fifth-grade monsters marched out of Qiushan City in a mighty force. These people are the foundation of Qiushan City.
Led by the fox demon, the demons came directly to a wasteland fifty miles outside Qiushan City. It was a large grassland with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers and the end was as far as the eye could see.
Looking at the endless prairie, the monsters asked, "Deputy City Lord, where is the City Lord?"
Before the fox demon could speak, another voice came from above their heads, "He's dead."
Upon hearing this, the monsters immediately looked up and saw countless flying swords appearing in the air, with the tips of the swords pointing at each of them.
Zhou Chen was seen tearing off the disguise on his head, and at the same time, he put away his magical powers and suppressed the aura of the human race, which burst out instantly.
"It's you, you are the human kid. What did you do to the city lord?"
"Didn't I tell you, he's dead?"
"Hmph, you are so arrogant. Let's all go together and kill this guy first."
Zhou Chen sneered and pressed his right hand downwards. The flying sword in the air immediately shot downwards. Upon seeing this, the demonic power in the bodies of the monsters instantly burst out and formed a layer of protection above their heads.
The flying swords fell on the demon shield, and the demon began to tremble instantly. Fortunately, with the combined power of all the demons, they were able to barely block the attacks of the flying swords. However, it seemed that they could not hold on for long.
The rain of swords in the sky continued to fall. One of the monsters with slightly stronger strength asked, "Deputy City Lord, what should we do now?" After asking for a long time, no one responded. Then they realized that the Deputy City Lord had quietly left here at some point.
"What's going on? Is the deputy city lord in cahoots with this human kid?"
"It's impossible. How could the deputy city lord collude with this human kid?"
"What about others?"
Zhou Chen didn't have the energy to waste time with them, so he activated his magical power and his strength increased by 66%.
Then the true energy in his body burst out again, and in an instant a large number of flying swords condensed in the air again and shot towards the bottom. This time their demon escape could no longer withstand the attack of the flying swords and was instantly shattered by the dense rain of swords.
The powerful monsters immediately took out weapons from their storage bags to resist, while the weaker fifth-grade monsters were killed by the flying swords because they were a step slower in reaction. At this time, the monsters that were not killed directly floated in the air and surrounded him, "Huh, you have the courage to not run away."
The demonic energy in the monsters' bodies exploded and they displayed their magical powers and attacked Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen sneered and waved his hand, and the flying swords around him immediately flew towards them.
Although they were powerful, they were still unable to resist Zhou Chen's flying sword. There was no way because the power of the flying sword was too strong and they, the fourth-grade monsters, were simply unable to resist it.
With just one move, he killed them all. Zhou Chen harvested a wave of demon patterns and put all the corpses of these monsters into the storage ring. Then he looked up in the direction of Qiushan City.
When the confidant saw the fox demon coming back, he asked in confusion, "Sir, the city lord was brought back so soon?"
"Shut up, the city lord is dead. From now on, I will be the city lord of Qiushan City."
After hearing this, the subordinate immediately smiled and congratulated him, "Congratulations, sir." The fox demon had no intention of listening to his flattery at this time, and directly cursed him, "Get lost."
Unable to guess what the fox demon was thinking, the little demon hurriedly and carefully retreated. After the door was closed, the fox demon picked up the tea on the table and drank it all.
After he finished drinking the tea, Zhou Chen's voice came from behind him, "Deputy City Lord, you run quite fast."
Upon hearing this, the fox demon's expression changed, and at that moment a sharp sword pierced his chest.
Before the sword was drawn, the fox demon's body turned into a puff of white smoke. Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and activated his Eye of Insight, only to see a black nine-tailed fox fleeing into the distance.
"Hmph, he's not very capable, but he's quite good at running away." Zhou Chen then chased after him. By now, all the high-level monsters in the city had been killed by Zhou Chen, and the strength of the remaining ones was only level six at most.
At this time, Zhou Chen was running through the streets of Qiushan City without any scruples. The fox demon was running all the way. Although he did not look back, he could always sense Zhou Chen's breath behind him.
It has to be said that this fox demon is quite capable of escaping. Although he has not mastered the power of space, he can teleport over short distances, with the maximum range reaching two hundred meters. If Zhou Chen had not had the help of the Eye of Insight, he would have really escaped.
Zhou Chen was not in a hurry and just followed him from day to evening. Although the monsters in the city sensed Zhou Chen's human aura, Zhou Chen's aura was very strong now, and those monsters consciously avoided him after noticing it.
Late at night, the fox demon came to a yard. As soon as it entered the yard, it turned into a human form. Then it grabbed a ladle and scooped a ladle of water from the bucket and drank it.
Zhou Chen appeared in front of him just after he finished drinking, as if he had had enough fun and didn't want to waste time talking to him. Without waiting for him to escape again, Zhou Chen stabbed him with a sword. Although the fox demon used his magical power to teleport in time, Zhou Chen's figure also teleported with him.
Even with the help of the Eye of Insight and Thousand Miles, his teleportation was not enough in front of Zhou Chen, unless he could teleport over a very long distance, at least a thousand meters away, beyond the observation range of the Eye of Insight.
Looking at the long sword piercing into his body, the fox demon asked unwillingly, "Why? I have clearly done what you said. Why do you still want to kill me? Are all you humans so untrustworthy?"
"Hmph, keeping promises is only for people of the same race. You monsters have the blood of humans on your hands. How could I possibly keep my promise to you? Letting you live one more day is already a kindness to you."
As the sword energy entered the fox demon's body, it began to stiffen and freeze, and finally turned into an ice sculpture, completely losing its life force.
Zhou Chen collected his body and left the yard, but he did not leave Qiushan City directly. Instead, he restrained his breath and returned to the fox demon's room.
