Chapter 219 Repudiation
At this time, the monsters below also reacted, immediately threw away the wine bowls in their hands, and pounced towards Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen sneered and activated Thunder. The power of thunder flashed on his hands and bursts of light burst out. The monsters in the front were directly injured by the power of thunder.
For a moment, the monsters did not dare to step forward to see how their city lord would deal with them. Now Zhou Chen was surrounded and could not escape for the time being.
Zhou Chen looked towards the City Lord, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground healing his wounds, while his sister Xiaorou was standing beside him and asked with concern, "Brother, how are you?" However, City Lord Guo did not respond to him.
Afterwards, Xiao Rou looked at Zhou Chen and said to his men, "What are you still standing there for? This guy is plotting against the city lord. Go ahead and kill him without leaving any alive."
Although they were reluctant to step forward, the city lord's sister had already given the order, so they had to take action.
Zhou Chen sneered and launched the Thunder again. Before they could step forward, a lightning ball had already been shot out. The lightning ball was so fast that it pierced through the chests of several fifth-grade monsters in an instant. And the lightning ball continued to shoot towards City Lord Guo with undiminished power.
Xiao Rou was only a seventh-grade monster, and she had no strength to fight back against this thunder ball. At this moment, City Lord Guo suddenly opened his eyes and shouted angrily, and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Rou.
He just raised his right hand slightly and grabbed the thunder ball. Then he exerted force with his right hand and crushed it.
Zhou Chen squinted and saw that the silver needle in City Lord Guo's chest had been forced out. Although the silver needle had come out, the poison on it had already entered his body. At this moment, his strength was not as good as before.
Looking at the large number of monsters around, Zhou Chen said to the distance, "If you don't show up, I will really die here."
Just when the monsters were confused, a voice came in, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I'm here."
As they spoke, all the monsters looked towards the direction where the voice came from, and saw Wu Meng walking towards them with a large number of his men.
City Lord Guo's face froze when he saw this, "How is this possible? He is obviously dead, why is he here?" Wu Meng's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he appeared again, he was already next to Zhou Chen.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhou. Leave the rest to me." Then he waved his hand and the many masters he brought with him attacked the city lord's men.
In just ten minutes, he had gained an absolute advantage. "Wu Meng, you despicable villain, if you have the guts, wait until I recover from my wounds and then we can fight each other." As he said this, he started coughing violently and then spat out a mouthful of blood. Xiao Rou didn't know where she got the courage from, so she stood in front of the city lord and said, "Wu Meng, you are so despicable that you teamed up with foreign monsters to attack my elder brother just to get the position of city lord."
"Haha, didn't I learn all this from your elder brother? Have you forgotten how your brother became the city lord ten years ago?"
Xiao Rou had no way to refute this. Ten years ago, City Lord Guo used the same method. He took advantage of Wu Meng's inattention and launched a sneak attack, thus successfully taking the position of City Lord.
City Lord Guo said, "Okay, Brother Wu, if you win, the position of city lord is yours. From now on, I will follow your lead."
"Hmph, Old Guo, you think too much. Don't even think about leaving alive today." Then the demonic power in his body surged, and in an instant the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a strong wind blew between heaven and earth.
City Lord Guo said to Xiaorou, "I will hold him back, you hurry up and leave." Then, without waiting for Xiaorou to say anything, he slapped her away with one palm.
He rushed towards Wu Meng. In an instant, the thunder power of City Lord Guo was all over his body. At this time, he was seriously injured. At the moment of mobilizing the demon power, the poison was also rapidly eroding his body. Even so, the power of thunder he mobilized should not be underestimated. City Lord Guo used his own thunder power to attract the thunder power between heaven and earth. In an instant, lightning and thunder flashed in the sky, and a thunder as thick as an arm fell and struck Wu Meng.
"Hmph, beat it to death for struggling." The demonic power condensed the surrounding strong wind into several huge wind blades, which flew out and directly chopped it into pieces. At the same time, the surrounding strong wind formed countless wind blades and attacked City Lord Guo.
City Lord Guo pointed his finger to the sky, and instantly the power of thunder in the sky fell and injected into his body. In an instant, a white light burst out around his body, and all of Wu Meng's wind blades were blocked by the white light. No matter how Wu Meng attacked, he could not break through the defense of the white light.
Wu Meng cursed, "It is true that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. I underestimated you." Then he stepped into the air and came to a high altitude. He stretched out two fingers and at the same time a giant tornado formed behind him.
Wu Meng's figure was now under the tornado. The force of the strong wind quickly surged into his body, and then condensed into a powerful wind ball that floated between his fingers.
As his mind moved, the wind ball exploded, and a thin line shot out, directly piercing through City Lord Guo's defense and his body, passing through his body and leaving a deep pit on the ground.
A generation of city lord died at this moment. The monsters who were originally struggling to hold on gave up their efforts when they saw that their master was dead, and they immediately knelt down and said, "Greetings to City Lord Wu."
At this moment, Wu Meng laughed extremely happily, and his voice spread throughout the entire Qiufeng City. The moment he landed, Zhou Chen came to his side, bowed and said, "Congratulations to the city lord for finally getting his revenge."
Wu Meng looked at him coldly and said, "Well, thanks to you this time, you will be the deputy city lord from now on."
"Congratulations, Deputy City Lord Zhou." That night, Wu Meng held another grand banquet, and Zhou Chen naturally could not be absent. Not only were there monsters from the City Lord's Mansion at the banquet, but many big monsters in Qiufeng City also came to congratulate, and quite a few of them were fourth-grade monsters.
The banquet lasted all night and ended the next morning. Zhou Chen returned to his mansion and stayed there quietly for a few days. During this time, many monsters visited him, but Wu Meng never came to see him.
This made Zhou Chen feel a little strange, because according to the previous agreement, after he helped him regain the position of city lord, Wu Meng needed to hand over two maps about Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice to him.
Although the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice is extremely precious, Wu Meng's magic power is of wind attribute, and the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice should not be very tempting to him. This is why Zhou Chen is willing to cooperate with him. If Wu Meng's magic power is of ice attribute, Zhou Chen would never cooperate with him no matter what.
Seeing no response after a few days, Zhou Chen found an opportunity and went directly to the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded. Even Zhou Chen, the deputy city lord, could not go in directly. If he wanted to go in, he had to report to his subordinates.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the little demon who went to report finally came out. "Deputy City Lord, please come in." Zhou Chen nodded and then walked straight in. At this time, Wu Meng was sitting in the garden drinking tea. When he saw Zhou Chen coming, he immediately called out, "Brother Zhou, you are here. Come and take a seat."
After sitting down and seeing that there were no other monsters nearby, Zhou Chen said directly, "Sir, I have done everything you asked me to do. Do you think it's time to give me the thing?"
"what"?
Although I felt unhappy, I still reminded him, "It's what you promised me before."
Wu Meng slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right, look at my memory," and then said embarrassedly, "Brother Zhou, it's not that I deliberately delayed giving it to you, it's just that I don't have it."
