Chapter 248 Shocking the Two
Zhou Chen didn't care, but looking at Leng Ningshuang and the other person not far away, Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold and the ice-attributed true energy in his body burst out, and the temperature of the surrounding air dropped rapidly in an instant.
Seeing this, Baihu sneered in his heart, "Hmph, this is what the kid has been waiting for." Then he increased the pressure again. At this time, many Demon Suppression Guards had gathered not far away, but with Baihu here, they did not dare to step forward and could only hide in the distance and discuss.
Baihu didn't say anything about this. The reason why he chose to stop the three people here was to let the people from the Demon Suppression Division see Zhou Chen attack him.
The situation was already tense and a fight was about to break out when Qinglong's voice came over, "How dare you be so rude to your superior? Back off."
Turning around, he found that Qinglong had walked over at some point. Seeing this, Baihu withdrew his pressure, and Zhou Chen also withdrew his icy true qi.
Leng Ningshuang and the other person on the ground could finally take a breath. Zhou Chen turned around and saluted to Qinglong, "Sir, it's him."
"That's enough, just do what you need to do."
Seeing Qinglong gave him a look, Zhou Chen swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and then left with Leng Ningshuang.
"Baihu, they are just a few juniors, why make things difficult for them."
"You misunderstood. I didn't mean to make things difficult for them. I just heard that there's a pretty strong guy under your command, and I couldn't help but want to come over and test him."
"Oh, really? You've seen it just now, how did it feel?"
Baihu sneered and said, "His strength is good, but he doesn't know the rules very well. You must discipline him when you have time to avoid any trouble for you in the future." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
After Baihu left, Qinglong couldn't help coughing a few times, looking at Baihu's receding back with helplessness in his eyes.
After leaving the Demon Suppression Division, Zhou Chen asked with concern, "How are you guys? Are you okay?"
At this time, the two of them still looked a little pale, and Leng Ningshuang smiled and said, "It's okay."
Where does this white tiger come from? I don’t think I have ever offended him, so why does he seem so unfriendly to us?
Leng Ningshuang thought for a while and said, "You don't know yet since you just came back, but right now in Wu'an County there is the Demon King Zhentian who is spreading cholera among the people. The commander-in-chief is seriously injured and has been in seclusion, so he has no intention of managing the Demon Suppression Bureau."
There are now disagreements within the Demon Suppression Division. Lord Qinglong is okay, as he has still maintained his original intention. However, the newly appointed Baihu is not a good guy. Taking advantage of the commander's retreat, he secretly colluded with Xuanwu and wanted to squeeze Lord Qinglong out of the position of hall master. Then they can control the entire Demon Suppression Division.
"This White Tiger has quite big ambitions. Why doesn't he report to the commander?" You must know that even if Zhen Nantian was injured, he is still the highest leader of the Demon Suppression Division.
Leng Ningshuang and the others shook their heads and said, "Alas, there are rumors in the Demon Suppression Division that the commander-in-chief may have fallen."
"What, how is this possible?"
"I don't know what the truth is. Anyway, that's what's spread in the Demon Suppression Bureau. I have asked Lord Qinglong before, but he hasn't seen the commander-in-chief for a long time, so he doesn't know the specific situation."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen clenched his fists and said, "It seems that I came back at the right time."
"Under the current circumstances, it may not be a good thing for you to come back, Brother Zhou."
An hour later they arrived near Xiaohua Village, which had completely become the territory of monsters. As for the villagers, only a small number of them escaped to Wu'an County, while most of the villagers became food for the monsters.
Through spiritual exploration, Zhou Chen also understood the situation of the village. There was only one monster with the strength reaching the peak of the fourth rank, which should be their target this time, Wuwang. Next were several monsters with the strength of only the sixth rank. There was not a single monster of the fifth rank, and the rest were all below the sixth rank, posing no threat at all.
Zhou Chen asked the two to stay outside the village and be ready to provide support at any time, while he used his magical powers to conceal his breath, changing his breath into a demonic aura. Under the shocked gazes of the two, Zhou Chen walked towards the village in the distance.
At this moment, he was full of demonic aura. The low-level demon beasts guarding the village entrance, although they had never seen him, did not say anything and directly let Zhou Chen into the village. After entering, Zhou Chen found that after these demon beasts occupied the village, they did not wantonly destroy the village buildings, but lived in the village like ordinary people. If an uninformed person saw this scene, he would definitely think that these demon beasts transformed into humans were ordinary people.
When the villagers saw Zhou Chen, the outsider, they just looked at him twice and no one noticed anything unusual. Zhou Chen used spiritual exploration to come to the residence of Hua Yao.
Zhou Chen smelled a floral scent from a distance. Although it was a floral scent, it smelled a bit strange. Zhou Chen quickly took a detoxification pill in advance.
When he got closer to the courtyard wall, he found a young girl lying on a lounge chair in the yard, basking in the sun leisurely.
As if she had detected Zhou Chen's presence, the girl opened her eyes slightly and turned to glance at Zhou Chen outside the yard.
"What a handsome guy!" The voice was loud. Zhou Chen, who was standing outside the yard, heard his voice and saw a smile on Zhou Chen's face. Then he pushed the door and walked in.
"Whose subordinate are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I am a special envoy under the Demon King Zhentian. This time I am here specifically to convey the orders of the Demon King."
"Envoy, why have I never seen you before?"
"Oh, I was promoted recently by the adults. It's normal that you haven't met me."
"Oh, so that's what I was thinking. Now tell me, sir, what instructions do you have?"
Seeing that this guy believed him, Zhou Chen trotted two steps to his front and said, "That's right, my lord asked you to do it," and then leaned towards his ear.
However, just as he was about to get close, his body suddenly retreated, and he saw a sharp spike suddenly emerge from the ground and appear where he had just stood.
"When did you find out?"
"Hmph, there is no special envoy around the Demon King at all."
“Oh, really? If that’s the case, then there’s no need to pretend anymore.” Zhou Chen then put away his magical powers, and the aura of the human race burst out.
"Well, it turns out to be a human. He is so brave to come here alone."
Zhou Chen didn't waste any words with him. He waved his hand and used the space lock to directly imprison the flower demon who was about to attack in place. Then, under the flower demon's horrified gaze, he raised his sword and cut off his head. The whole process was completed in an instant.
Afterwards, Zhou Chen put his body into his storage ring, then tore through the void and left.
When he appeared again, he was already behind Leng Ningshuang and the other person. At this time, the two were still carefully looking at Xiaohua Village in the distance.
"Okay, it's done, let's go."
These words scared the two of them, and Wang Yong almost screamed, but fortunately Leng Ningshuang covered his mouth at the critical moment.
Leng Ningshuang asked, "Brother Zhou, when did you come back? I didn't hear any sound at all."
"It's good that you didn't hear it. If you all knew about it, I wouldn't be able to kill him."
Wang Yong pulled Leng Ningshuang's hand away in disbelief, "What, Brother Zhou, you really did it?"
Zhou Chen waved his right hand and released the flower demon's body. The moment the body came out, the aura of a fourth-grade peak demon beast instantly spread out. Although the flower demon was dead, the aura had not completely dissipated.
