Chapter 268 Entering the City
Zhou Chen did not look at the monsters falling down. Monsters of this level did not arouse his interest at all.

Under Murong Qing's shocked gaze, Zhou Chen took out the chisel again and said, "This is yours, you should return it to the Demon Suppression Division yourself."

Murong Qing came back to his senses after hearing this. He first bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, senior. Murong Qing will never forget it." Then he took the chisel.

Perhaps it was because of the secret technique he had used before, his spirit had been in a tense state, which was not a big deal. But now that the danger was over, Murong Qing's eyes suddenly went dark, and he actually fell straight down from the air.

He was falling very fast. If he had continued to fall like this, he would have been crippled if not dead. Fortunately, Zhou Chen caught his body in time just as he was about to hit the ground.

Zhou Chen frowned and put him on the ground, then used his magical powers to rejuvenate and heal him. Twenty minutes later Murong Qing slowly opened his eyes.

"Senior, what's wrong with me?"
You fainted because you lost too much energy and blood when performing the secret technique before. Murong Qing rubbed his head which still hurt a little, and seemed to have thought of something, "Oh no, the master is still waiting for me, I have to go back quickly," and was about to get up.

Zhou Chen did not try to stop him and let him stand up. As a result, he almost fell down because he did not stand firmly. Fortunately, Zhou Chen supported him in time.

As a result, due to the urgency of the situation, her hand seemed to have touched a place that she shouldn't have touched. Murong Qing snorted lightly, and Zhou Chen quickly let go of his hand.

As a result of letting go, Murong Qing fell to the ground again.

"Sorry," Zhou Chen quickly bent down and helped him up, and at the same time took out a pill from the storage ring and fed it to him.

The moment the pill entered his stomach, the medicinal power was immediately dissipated, and the blood and energy he had previously lost quickly recovered. After sitting on the ground and regulating his breathing for half an hour, his complexion returned to normal again.

"Thank you, senior."

“Okay, okay, I’m only a few years older than you, stop calling me senior all the time. Maybe I’m even less old than you.” As the realm improves, the lifespan of a warrior will also be improved, so one cannot judge a person by his appearance alone.

Some people may look young, but they may actually be hundreds of years old.

Although Zhou Chen said that, Murong Qing did not dare to be presumptuous. Zhou Chen waved his hands helplessly and said, "Forget it, call me whatever you like."

"You are going to Huangshan County, right? It just so happens that I'm going there too."

"Senior is also going to Huangshan County?"
"That's right, let's go do something." Then he stopped talking nonsense with him, immediately called out Yue, and took Murong Qing on the flying sword to rush towards Huangshan County.

Zhou Chen was very fast, so fast that it was unknown how much faster he was than him. Murong Qing stood on the sword and did not dare to say anything more.

Three hours later, the two saw the city wall of Huangshan County from afar. At the same time, the city protection barrier of Huangshan County had been opened, and a large number of monsters were gathering outside the city.

In fact, since they were about to approach Huangshan County, they discovered a large number of monsters, several times more than those in other places.

Murong Qing, who was standing behind Zhou Chen, spoke up, "It's a pity that we come back too late. They have already started attacking the city."

Seeing this, Zhou Chen immediately accelerated and soon arrived above the city defense formation. Although the city lord did not know Zhou Chen, he knew Murong Qing behind him.

"Sir, I am Murong Qing. I hope you can open the barrier and let us in."

The city lord looked at Zhou Chen and asked, "May I know who this young man is?"
Without waiting for Murong Qing to speak, Zhou Chen replied, "My name is Zhou Chen."

Hearing Zhou Chen's name, the city lord's expression changed and then he smiled, "It's Brother Zhou, come in quickly."

Then a gap appeared in the formation in the air. However, at the moment the gap appeared, a huge demonic power appeared above the barrier.

"Not good." Without waiting for Zhou Chen and the others to enter, the city lord quickly closed the barrier. At the moment the barrier closed, a powerful monster appeared at the gap. Zhou Chen immediately flew away from the previous position with Murong Qing on his sword.

"I knew they wouldn't just watch us go in." At this time, several powerful monsters surrounded the two of them.

The monster standing above the barrier is at the half-step third level, and is the strongest among the monsters.

"If you want to go in, you can, but hand over the Thunder God's Chisel," he said, stretching out his right hand, motioning the two to hand over the things.

At this time, the city lord no longer hid in the city, but took the initiative to attack. With the help of the power of the formation, his strength was enough to briefly fight against a half-step third-grade monster.

But he can only do it within the city. Once he leaves the city, he will no longer be able to use any force, and then he will be just an ordinary person.

"Huh, you finally decided to come out?"
“Stop talking nonsense and get started,” the city lord raised his hands and attacked the monster with the help of the power of the formation.

Zhou Chen looked at the monsters around him and shook his head helplessly. These guys were really weak. Their strength was only about fifth rank, which was far inferior to the monsters that besieged Wu'an County.

Just as he was about to take action, a stream of fists of steel flew over and directly repelled the monsters around him.

"Brother Zhou, hurry up and go in now." Hearing this, Zhou Chen did not hesitate and immediately flew towards the entrance of the barrier opened by the city lord. However, at the moment the entrance opened, the powerful monster also wanted to break in, but was ruthlessly stopped by the city lord.

This allowed Zhou Chen and the other two to enter Huangshan County smoothly. The moment they entered, the entrance healed instantly. Since the city lord was the controller of the barrier, he was not affected by it and could pass through it directly.

After forcing back the half-step third-grade monster with one move, he was about to turn around and leave. However, the moment he turned around, he was pierced through the body by a spear.

Upon seeing this, the guards in the city shouted "Sir", and some even wanted to break out of the barrier to pick up the city lord.

Zhou Chen had just landed at this time. Hearing the sound, he turned around and looked over, then quickly stepped into the air and caught the falling city lord.

Although he was seriously injured, he was still trying his best to maintain the barrier in the city. He couldn't fall asleep. If he fell asleep, the Huangshan County city defense formation would be unmanned and would dissipate immediately. At that time, all the people in the city would become blood food in the mouths of monsters.

The moment Zhou Chen caught him, his magical rejuvenation power was activated to heal his injuries as quickly as possible.

After landing, Zhou Chen asked him to sit cross-legged on the ground, while he stood behind him and infused him with internal energy.

With the support of Zhou Chen's true energy, the barrier that had originally dimmed became more condensed.

At this time, the guards on the city wall also rushed over and asked, "Are you okay, Lord City?"
However, the city lord was seriously injured at this time and had to distract himself from maintaining the formation in the city, so he had no time to deal with them.

Seeing that there was no response and he was still asking, Zhou Chen scolded impatiently, "Enough, are you done yet? Stop arguing and go somewhere else."

"Who are you and how dare you talk to us like that?"
Hearing the sound, the city lord opened his eyes and waved to the people around him, signaling them to retreat. At this time, outside the barrier, the monster was a little disappointed to see that the city lord was not dead, and then angrily punched at the city protection barrier.

Naturally, the punch did not break the barrier, but he was not too disappointed. He snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, a bunch of cowards. Let's see how long you can hide."

An hour later, the city lord's external injuries had been basically healed. As for the internal injuries, Zhou Chen had no way to treat them and could only rely on himself to regulate his breathing. Zhou Chen also stopped the infusion of true energy at this moment.

Murong Qing stepped forward and asked, "How is the senior city lord?"
"The external injuries have basically recovered, but there are still some traces of evil spirits remaining in his body. External forces cannot help him eliminate them. Everything depends on him himself."
