Chapter 218 Sneak Attack
Zhou Chen grabbed the wrist holding the knife from behind, and the fox demon Xiaorou was startled and screamed, "Ah".

"Miss, why are you coming to me with a dagger in the middle of the night? Are you trying to kill me?"
"It was you who harmed Brother Jackal. He had a chance to escape."

Zhou Chen exerted force with his right hand, and Xiaorou snorted as the dagger fell to the ground. "He is so damn stupid. Why did he have to seduce the city lord's sister when he could seduce anyone else?"

After the dagger fell to the ground, Zhou Chen also loosened his right hand. Xiaorou, who had regained her freedom, swung her right hand and a puff of pink smoke flew out from her sleeve.

Just when the smoke was about to float in front of Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen quickly stepped back and avoided the pink smoke.

"Miss, it's getting late and you should go back," Zhou Chen's expression began to become gloomy.

"He didn't die in my hands, so there's no need for you to hold on to me. If you really want revenge, go find your brother and Xiaohu, why are you looking for me?"

Xiao Rou picked up a dagger from the ground and stabbed towards Zhou Chen. It was just a seventh-grade monster. Zhou Chen didn't need to fight back at all. A slight burst of true energy in his body directly shocked it and made it retreat several steps.

"If you dare to attack me, believe it or not, I will let my brother kill you."

"Then do you believe that I will make sure you can't leave this room?"

"What do you want to do? My brother is the city lord. If you dare to do anything to me, my brother will not let you go," he said as he retreated.

Zhou Chen restrained his aura and said, "Let's go. Don't bother me in the future, otherwise I don't mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of your brother."

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Xiao Rou leaned against the wall and walked towards the door. After going out, she said, "Be careful, this City Lord's Mansion is not so easy to stay in."

Zhou Chen laughed angrily, then turned his head suddenly. Xiao Rou was startled and ran away immediately. If it were any other time, Zhou Chen would have taken action long ago, but now he was on someone else's territory and couldn't be impulsive.

Early in the morning of the next day, Zhou Chen followed the city lord out of the city lord's mansion, "Brother Zhou, everything has been arranged. As long as you can defeat Wu Meng today, you will be the real deputy city lord."

Wu Meng did not live in the City Lord's Mansion, but bought a new house outside. Ten minutes later, the City Lord brought Zhou Chen and a group of monsters to Wu Meng.

Having been informed in advance, Wu Meng was not surprised by the arrival of everyone. When he looked at Zhou Chen, his eyes paused for a moment, and then he led everyone into the mansion.

Although they didn't break the window paper, Zhou Chen could sense that the many men under Wu Meng's command looked at them with unfriendly eyes.

Soon Wu Meng brought everyone to a huge courtyard and said, "It's getting late, let's start quickly. I still have a lot of things to deal with."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" At this time, a subordinate came to Wu Meng with a tray with two bowls of liquor on it. Wu Meng picked up a bowl and handed it to Zhou Chen and said, "Brother Zhou, let me toast you first. I will not show mercy later."

Zhou Chen didn't think much about it. He was about to go to receive it but was stopped by the city lord. Don't bother, just start quickly. It won't be too late to drink after the competition is over.

Zhou Chen turned his head and saw City Lord Guo winking at him. Then Zhou Chen said, "Yeah, it's not too late to drink after the competition."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's talk about it later." As soon as Wu Meng finished speaking, his figure immediately disappeared from the spot, and when he appeared again, he had already arrived in the center of the yard.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen lifted his right foot lightly, and his figure disappeared from the spot. When he appeared again, he had already arrived at the center of the yard. The moment he entered, endless demonic energy immediately emanated from the surroundings of the yard, and the demonic energy formed a barrier in the yard, trapping the two of them directly in it. The two of them were both masters of the middle third rank. If they didn't do this, the whole yard would probably be destroyed.

Wu Meng was not polite and took the lead in attacking. The demonic energy in his body surged and a gust of wind suddenly arose around his body. Seeing this, Zhou Chen thought to himself, "Is this wind-attributed demonic power?"

Every move he made was a killing move. The surrounding strong winds gathered in front of him. Countless strong winds continued to compress and condense into a spear in front of him.

Zhou Chen did not use the sword-controlling technique, but instead activated his magical power of thunder. In an instant, a violent force of thunder erupted from Zhou Chen's body. As Zhou Chen raised his hand, the force of thunder quickly gathered on his right hand, forming a thunder ball that shot towards Wu Meng.

At the same time, Wu Meng's wind spear also flew out. The moment the two forces collided, the thunder ball instantly took the upper hand and shattered his wind spear. At the same time, the thunder ball continued to strike towards Wang Meng with undiminished power.

Wu Meng roared, and a strong wind blew up around him, forming a small tornado around him. He wanted to use it to resist the attack of the thunder ball, but it was defeated after only resisting for a moment.

Before the monsters watching the battle outside could react, they heard Wu Meng scream. The strong wind dissipated and Wu Meng's body was shattered in full view of everyone. The power of thunder directly destroyed his body without leaving any residue.

City Lord Guo laughed out loud upon seeing this, and the evil spirit in Wu Meng's men burst out immediately upon seeing this. City Lord Guo shouted "How dare you! Life and death are decided by law, and you still want to rebel?"

After hearing what City Lord Guo said, the demons' momentum immediately weakened. At this moment, the barrier in the courtyard collapsed instantly after Wu Meng's death. City Lord Guo stepped forward, patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Haha, I knew I didn't make a mistake. Brother Zhou, you will be the deputy city lord of Qiufeng City from now on."

Then he glanced coldly at the monsters present. Seeing this, City Lord Guo's men immediately knelt down and said, "Your subordinates pay their respects to Deputy City Lord Zhou." Seeing this, Wu Meng's men also gritted their teeth and knelt down.

"Brothers, please stand up. There's no need to be so polite."

"Your identity is different now, it's normal for them to do this, don't bother with them," and then he took Zhou Chen back to the City Lord's Mansion.

In the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Guo held a banquet to celebrate for Zhou Chen. There were all kinds of delicious food on the table, and the most of them was naturally white meat. He was a little hungry at first, but he was no longer hungry after seeing this. He just ate some beast meat casually.

Those monsters above the fifth rank took turns to come up and toast Zhou Chen, while those below the fifth rank were not qualified to toast Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen did not act pretentiously and drank it all. When he was almost done, Zhou Chen picked up the wine glass and walked to City Lord Guo and said, "City Lord, I can be where I am today because of your support. This glass of wine is for you."

City Lord Guo raised his wine glass and clinked it with his smile, then raised his head and drank it all. Xiao Rou beside him glared at Zhou Chen with resentment and whispered in a low voice, "Wu Meng is such a loser. He can't even beat you. He deserves to end up like this."

What no one present expected was that just as City Lord Guo picked up the wine glass to drink, a silver needle appeared in Zhou Chen's right hand. At this moment, City Lord Guo sensed a hint of murderous intent.

Before he could react, Zhou Chen had already slapped out with his palm and inserted the silver needle in his hand into his body.

At this moment City Lord Guo threw away the wine bowl in his hand and slapped Zhou Chen's head. The power of this palm was not small. The power of thunder flashed in his palm. If someone was hit, he would surely die.

However, Zhou Chen reacted quickly and immediately retreated after the successful attack, causing his palm to miss.

All the monsters below were stunned. After the palm strike, City Lord Guo covered his chest and gasped violently. He looked at Zhou Chen angrily and asked, "Why, bastard?"
