Chapter 255 Holy Spirit Hall
Baihu mobilized his true energy and swung out with his palm. A huge amount of true energy gushed out from his hand, forming a huge palm to meet the Big Sumeru Finger.
The moment he saw the Great Sumeru Finger, he knew that the person who made the move must be from the Demon Suppression Division, and the guy who could practice this move was definitely not an ordinary Demon Suppression Guard. Even a Demon Suppression Envoy would have to consume huge merit points to learn this top-grade earth-level martial art.
After the palm and the finger collided, a huge amount of true energy burst out, and Baihu squatted on the ground with blood spitting out of his mouth.
At this time, Zhou Chen's figure appeared on the roof. At this time, Zhou Chen was not wearing official uniform, but changed into casual clothes. As for his face, he used a little illusion. In Baihu's eyes, he did not recognize the guy on the roof.
"Who are you and why are you attacking me?"
Zhou Chen said lightly, "Doing justice on behalf of heaven." As soon as these words came out, Baihu laughed, "Haha, I didn't expect that there would be people like you in this world today." After saying that, Baihu flashed and ran towards the four children in the room.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen waved his hand and locked the space, and Baihu's figure was frozen in place. Baihu turned his head in horror and looked at Zhou Chen on the roof, "What do you mean, he is a strong man of the third level of the Void Realm? When did Wu'an County produce such a figure as you?"
Zhou Chen sneered and didn't intend to waste any more words with him. He simply pointed a finger into the void. In an instant, a huge icy hand condensed from the true energy pointed towards the white tiger on the ground.
Just when he was about to hit, countless black air emerged from Baihu's body, and at the same time, his body twisted violently, and he actually broke free from Zhou Chen's space lock.
Looking at the familiar black air, Zhou Chen said in surprise, "What is demonic energy?" He hasn't seen this thing for a long time. The last time he saw it was in the Qinghua County prison three years ago. He didn't expect that it would appear again after such a long time.
At this time, the white tiger was completely entangled in the black air, and its true appearance could not be seen clearly. From a distance, a ball of black air could be seen standing on the ground.
Less than five minutes had passed since the fight began. At this time, the warriors guarding the house heard the sound of fighting and rushed over.
Without waiting for Zhou Chen to make a move, the demon took the lead. Countless black air surged out of his body and enveloped the warriors who rushed up to protect the courtyard. Suddenly, bursts of howling came from below.
Zhou Chen had no intention of rescuing them. As people like Baihu could be guarding the house, they were not good people. They might improve their strength by sacrificing the lives of ordinary people.
A minute later, the black fog dissipated, and only the dry bones of the warriors guarding the courtyard were left. Then the black gas looked up at Zhou Chen on the roof and said, "Hmph, boy, it's your turn."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless black air rushed towards Zhou Chen. The black air transformed into a giant black hand in mid-air and directly pinched Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen did not dodge but let the big hand pinch him. At the same time, countless feathers began to fall from the sky. The black shadow ignored them and just pinched him hard.
The moment he pinched him, Zhou Chen's figure turned into a bunch of feathers floating in the air. The black shadow's eyes changed, and in an instant Zhou Chen's figure appeared behind him.
At the same time, he raised his sword and stabbed forward. The black shadow reacted quickly and flipped his right hand. The black energy in his palm immediately condensed into a black long sword. He turned around and rushed towards Zhou Chen's long sword.
The moment the two swords collided, the space vibrated. The two men's hands moved quickly and in the blink of an eye they had already exchanged more than ten moves. The surrounding space continued to vibrate. At the moment of the last sword collision, a huge hole appeared in the space, and at the same time a suction force came.
Upon seeing this, the two of them immediately retreated dozens of steps, and the corpses on the ground were ruthlessly sucked into the crack.
After the space cracked, it healed automatically in just a few seconds. At this time, the number of feathers falling in the air was much less after the incident just now.
This is Zhou Chen's magical power, Falling Feathers. As long as Zhou Chen has a thought, he can instantly switch positions with one of the feathers. Although it is very powerful, it has a disadvantage, that is, each switch requires a one-minute cooldown. The black shadow said, "You are quite strong. How about you join my Holy Soul Hall? How about I introduce you to it?"
"Holy Soul Temple? I'm not interested in what that is."
The black shadow got a little angry when he heard that, but he still smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse. I'll give you enough time to consider it." As he spoke, his figure began to slowly dissipate.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen's body instantly switched positions with a feather behind the black shadow. At the moment of the exchange, the Fengyun Sword condensed and chopped down. As a result, this sword, which was as powerful as a bamboo, actually went straight through his body. What surprised him even more was that it did not cause any substantial damage to him.
Soon the black shadow disappeared from his sight. At this moment, except for some servants who had no cultivation, all the warriors who were guarding the house had been devoured by the demon.
Afterwards, Zhou Chen called all the servants in the house over. They actually knew more or less what had happened in the house just now, but for them who had no strength, coming here would mean committing suicide.
Zhou Chen gathered them in the yard. Seeing Zhou Chen's ferocious look, those scared people lowered their heads and dared not speak. I give you one night to send all the children in the mansion back. If you dare to play tricks on me, watch out for your heads. Zhou Chen waved his hand, and a sword energy shot out and landed on the ground in front of everyone. In an instant, a deep crack was cut on the ground.
Seeing this, many servants immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Don't worry, sir. We will send them home safely, but..."
"Just what?"
"Reporting to the lord, if any of them live outside the city, we will not be able to send them back home on time."
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "If they live outside the city, we will send them back tomorrow. We will send the children in the city back tonight."
As for the curfew in Wu'an County, Zhou Chen ignored them and let them figure it out on their own.
Zhou Chen came to Qinglong that night. Qinglong looked at Zhou Chen with confusion and asked, "Why are you coming to my place in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Afterwards, Zhou Chen told Qinglong what happened tonight. Qinglong nodded and said, "You are too impulsive. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"It's just a white tiger, I can still deal with it, so I didn't tell you in advance."
Qinglong nodded and said, "Well, self-confidence is a good thing, but you have to do things within your ability and don't be so impulsive in the future."
Zhou Chen nodded after hearing this.
Qinglong continued, "In fact, I have long suspected that Baihu has something to do with the demons, but firstly, I have no evidence, and secondly, Baihu is too powerful for me to touch him for the time being."
"Sir, you said that they clearly have the upper hand, why don't they just take action directly, but instead go through so much trouble to lurk in the Demon Suppression Division?"
"I don't know about that. Maybe they are afraid of the commander who has never come out, or maybe they have other purposes. In short, it can't be a good thing."
That night, Zhou Chen and the other man chatted for a long time, and Zhou Chen did not return to his yard until dawn. Although he saw with his own eyes that the white tiger turned into a demon, Zhou Chen was not sure whether it could turn back.
After daybreak, Zhou Chen arranged his tasks and went directly to the White Tiger Hall. He wanted to see if Baihu had come to the Demon Suppression Division today, and see if he could turn back into a human form after turning into a demon.
When he came in, he sensed the familiar breath of Baihu, but the breath was disordered. Zhou Chen walked into his room with a smile on his lips.
