Chapter 231: Risky Sneak Attack
At this time, many experts under the two of them had come behind them. He Shao smiled and said, "Brother Niu, there is no need to let your men get involved in our affairs, right?"
"Okay, I will challenge you in a duel today." Then Niu Qiong waved his hand to signal the monsters behind him to step back, and he wanted to have a fair fight with He Shao.

Zhou Chen coughed a few times and then stepped forward and said, "Sir, let me help you." Niu Qiong said without turning back, "No, I can deal with him myself."

"Okay," Zhou Chen made a gesture to retreat. At this time, Wang Meng and other masters had already begun to retreat. Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold as he turned around. Two enhanced magical powers were instantly activated. His strength suddenly increased by nearly two times, and he directly punched Niu Qiong in the back.

The icy true energy burst out, and Niu Qiong was instantly severely injured and screamed, spurting out a mouthful of blood. Wang Meng and other monsters heard the sound and turned to look, with disbelief on their faces.

He Shao immediately stepped forward and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Haha, Brother Niu, you are careless." As he said that, he rushed forward, and all the masters behind him came out at the same time.

After Zhou Chen succeeded in his attack, he quickly retreated and at the same time activated the Sword Control Technique, directly suppressing Wang Meng and others who came forward to rescue him.

The monsters were all strong at the fourth level, but they were stopped by Zhou Chen and could not step forward to rescue Niu Qiong.

As the lord of a region, Niu Qiong's strength is so terrifying that even if he is seriously injured, he will not be defeated for the time being.

Wang Meng shouted, "Zhou Chen, you traitor, when has the Domain Lord ever treated you badly? Why did you betray him?"

Other guest officials also shouted angrily, "Even if we die today, we will kill him here."

Although they were extremely angry, the power of the Sword Controlling Technique was so strong that they were unable to defeat Zhou Chen for the time being.

"Humph, he has never treated me unfairly. Has he ever treated me sincerely since I came here? Poisoning my food every day, do you think he has never treated me unfairly?"
"Impossible, you are talking nonsense, how could the Domain Lord do such a thing."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, there are some things he knows in his heart. He recruited me just for his own ulterior motives." As for the matter about Jiuyou Xuanbing, Zhou Chen chose not to say it out.

At this time, Niu Qiong naturally heard what Zhou Chen said, "Damn, how did he know, this is impossible." While he was distracted, He Shao slapped him with a flaming palm. He was caught off guard and was hit by him. Immediately, a burnt smell came from his body.

Zhou Chen's punch just now was very well executed. The cold air of the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice entered his body and was now rushing around in his body. Although he suppressed it forcefully, his strength was greatly affected.

Ten minutes later, Wang Meng and his group of masters were all killed by Zhou Chen's flying sword. Zhou Chen successfully obtained ten fourth-grade demon patterns. He did not check the properties of the demon patterns but turned to look at Niu Qiong.

Niu Qiong was already at the end of his strength at this time, with large wounds on his body. The demonic power in his body was unable to suppress the coldness of the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice. A light layer of frost appeared on his body surface, and his movements became much slower.

He Shao took advantage of his inattention and condensed a big knife with flames to cut off his arm. Niu Qiong screamed and his body flew backwards. He Shao immediately grabbed the flying arm.

Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold, and the sword energy condensed on the long sword. At the moment Niu Qiong flew backwards, the sword pierced through his back. The moment the long sword entered his body, the icy sword energy scattered, violently destroying his meridians. Finally, with a loud bang, his body turned into countless pieces. In an instant, Zhou Chen also received his demon pattern, a third-grade demon pattern, and at the same time put the long sword into the storage ring.

Zhou Chen laughed loudly after seeing the prompt. At this time, He Shao also took Niu Qiong's arm, excitedly took the storage ring from her finger, and then the demonic power surged in and forcibly broke Niu Qiong's ban.

After a careful inspection, he finally took out two maps. The moment he saw the maps, He Shao shouted excitedly, "Haha, I finally got it."

He seemed to be too excited, and he laughed a little crazily. On the other hand, Zhou Chen hid it very well and did not show too much excitement. Although he defeated Niu Qiong and obtained a third-grade demon pattern, his situation was not very good at this time, because he and He Shao were only temporarily cooperating before, and now that their common enemy was dead, they were now enemies.

Zhou Chen did not choose to run away at the first moment. He Shao still controlled the power of space, so he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to. Since this was the case, Zhou Chen came up with a bold idea.

After the battle just now, He Shao's men suffered heavy casualties. Now there are only four fourth-grade monsters left, and they are also injured and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. On the other hand, He Shao was also seriously injured.

Zhou Chen came to He Shao with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Lord He, for getting the map." He Shao put away his smile and said, "It's all because of your good cooperation, Brother Zhou. Otherwise, not only would we not get anything today, but we would also have to die here."

"Haha, I just contributed a little bit. The main thing still depends on you, Lord He."

"Haha, Brother Zhou, you are too modest. Well, now that the matter has been resolved, Brother Zhou, you can leave."

Zhou Chen’s expression froze. “Lord He, didn’t we agree before that after we succeed, you promised to let me make a copy of the map?”

"Oh, is there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura around him burst out. Zhou Chen had been on guard against him. The moment he suddenly rushed forward to kill, Zhou Chen had instantly retreated thirty meters away.

Seeing this, the four big monsters behind He Shao immediately rushed up, trying to bully the weak with their numbers. Zhou Chen sneered and said he was not afraid of them. Yue flew out of the storage ring and turned into a sword spirit. Zhou Chen directly added sublimation magic power to it. Originally, this magic power could only be added to himself, but after Zhou Chen strengthened the monster pattern to ten, it could be added to other people.

Yue possesses the combat power of the peak fifth rank, and now with the blessing of magical powers, she can completely deal with four injured fourth rank monsters.

Yue's body burst out with sword intent and he rushed forward directly to fight with the four monsters.

He Shao was a little surprised when he saw all this. He didn't expect Zhou Chen to have this trick. But it didn't matter. With his fourth-grade strength, he was fully confident that he could deal with him.

He Shao put the map into his storage ring, and put Niu Qiong's storage ring on his other hand. He roared and a raging flame immediately condensed around his body.

Zhou Chen closed his eyes slightly and at the same time, he quickly made hand gestures to activate the magic spell Ao Long You. A hundred-meter-long dragon flew out and bit towards He Shao.

He Shao dodged it easily and at the same time, he slapped away the cold air spewed out by the ice dragon with his palm. At this moment, Zhou Chen activated his magical power again, the Extreme Ice Killing. An ice spear shot out from the void and flew towards He Shao. The speed was so fast that he had no time to dodge.

In addition, He Shao had to deal with the ice dragon at this time and had no time to dodge. He gritted his teeth and fought the ice dragon with one hand, and gathered his magic power with the other hand and directly grabbed the ice spear. Although he was cautious enough, he still underestimated the power of the ice spear. The moment he grabbed it, his arm was carried by the ice spear and flew towards his chest. He Shao was shocked and tried his best to slightly change his flight trajectory.

Although he avoided fatal injuries, his body was still pierced and he was instantly seriously injured. At the same time, the Ice Dragon took the opportunity to increase its strength. He Shao was in a miserable state. The wound on his chest was rapidly freezing and spreading to other places. The demonic power in his body was instantly disordered, and he had to mobilize all his strength to suppress the cold.
