Chapter 326 Taotie
However, the several strong men in the distance kept their eyes on the few people and did not look back at Zhou Chen, because their target was the second-ranked black energy. Although the strength of these people was average, they could fight with them with the help of the mysterious little tripod and several magic weapons.

This forced them to deal with it carefully. If they let them run away by accident, it would be extremely embarrassing.

At this time, they had fallen into a stalemate and were unable to get rid of the black gas. Although the few people holding the black gas could stalemate with them, they were unable to escape for the time being.

On Zhou Chen's side, the air temperature around him dropped sharply the moment the ice dragon came out. The barely detectable thing in the air actually turned into tiny ice crystals and then fell to the ground.

"Damn it, this guy's true energy is naturally able to restrain our poison. Brother, what should we do now?"
Just now, the two of them were ostensibly attacking Zhou Chen with poisonous blades, but in fact they knew that it would not hurt Zhou Chen at all. Their real killer weapon was the toxin released into the air after the wind blade was broken.

Although the poison is not fatal, even if a third-rank warrior inhales it, it will cause him to temporarily lose all his cultivation.

"What else can we do? It's obvious that this guy won't let us go today. Let's use that trick."

Fang Hua nodded after hearing this, then stood behind Fang Zheng. The two of them simultaneously made hand gestures and performed a combination of martial arts. A turquoise magic circle appeared above them, and then a strange-looking monster walked out of it.

Zhou Chen didn't recognize this thing, but the six people watching the fun below recognized it, "What is it, it's a Taotie, these two brothers are quite capable, it seems that we underestimated them before, with this move, even without the blessing of the poison, we are no match for them."

"Hey, do you think we should go up and help? I'm afraid this kid is in danger."

"Didn't you see what that was? Why did you go up to help? Do you think you're not dying fast enough?"
Several people discussed for a long time, and finally only one person came behind Zhou Chen and said, "My friend, let me help you."

Zhou Chen recognized this voice. It was the person who had communicated with him before. Turning around, he saw that his strength was only that of the middle third rank.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but you don't need to do anything to deal with him. I can do it myself."

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, the two Fang Zheng brothers in the distance laughed, "Hahaha, don't think that just because your true energy can restrain the poison of us two brothers, you can really sit back and relax. Humph, today is the day you die. And the guy behind you, after I kill him, you will be the next one."

Then he looked at the remaining five people below again, "And you, none of you will be able to escape later."

Taotie is greedy. Although this move is powerful, it has a price to use, so the two of them were not in a hurry to use it before.

After using this move, a sacrifice needs to be offered to Taotie. And it is not an ordinary sacrifice, but the flesh and blood of a top third-grade warrior.

Otherwise, the two of them would suffer backlash. Although they would not die, their lifespans would be shortened by a hundred years.

When the people below heard the two people's voices, they shuddered all over, "We, Fang, have never offended you. Why are you looking for trouble with us?"
"Haha, if you want me to let you go, that's fine. As long as you help me kill him, I will let you go," he said, pointing at Zhou Chen and the other two.

Seeing that several people were hesitating, Fang Zheng immediately shouted, "Hurry up, or I will take your lives now." As he spoke, a thick emerald green light emanated from Taotie's body, and a poisonous gas flew towards them.

"Okay, we promise you."

Hearing this, the poisonous creature immediately stopped in mid-air, and then flew back into the body of the Taotie. The next moment, they came directly between the two sides. The man behind Zhou Chen pointed at the five people and said, "Humph, a bunch of cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Brother, don't blame us. We have no other choice. It's your fault that you have nothing to do but help this kid."

Zhou Chen just watched all this quietly without saying a word. The next moment, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhou Chen's mouth, and the guy behind him was shocked.

Not only them, but even the five people standing in the void felt a threat of death at this moment.

Behind them, they saw that the emerald green Taotie had appeared behind them at some point.

The moment they turned around, the glutton had already swallowed them up in one gulp; they didn't even have time to make a sound.

After he swallowed a few people, the power of Taotie increased greatly. Fang Zheng and the other two behind him also felt the true energy surge in their bodies. Their strength, which was originally at the peak of the third level, was instantly increased again. Fang Zheng's strength directly broke through the second level.

Although he is still very weak at the early stage of the second rank, he is not inferior to the third rank in any way. His younger brother Fang Huaze has not made a breakthrough, but his strength has also been greatly improved.

"Hahaha, the cultivation level of a third-grade warrior is a great tonic. I didn't expect that it would allow me to break through to the second grade directly."

The guy behind Zhou Chen was named Tian Hanyun. When Tian Hanyun saw the two's cultivation base surge, he was shocked and thought to himself, "It looks like there's no way we're going to leave here alive today."

However, Zhou Chen remained calm and composed, "Hmph, the strength gained by borrowing external objects is only superficial after all." With this kind of strength, not to mention Zhou Chen who possessed the strength of the second rank, even if he was only at the third rank before, he could still defeat him completely.

Although he has reached the second level, his actual combat power is only at the third level. Moreover, he reached the second level by this method. In the early stage, he did not have the strength to summon his own Dharma body.

Hearing Zhou Chen's comments, Tian Hanyun gave a helpless smile, "Little brother, you're really like that. Even if he relies on external objects to gain strength, he is still a real second-grade warrior after all. Let me hold him back, and you take your wife away from here quickly."

"Hmph, since you've offended us, neither of you can leave today. Just wait for me to kill you two," he said with a sly smile on his face, and at the same time lowered his head to look at Leng Yiyao below.

Noticing this disgusting gaze again, Leng Yiyao looked up at Zhou Chen in the sky and said, "Brother Chen, why are you not well yet? These two guys are so weak. What took you so long? Is it because you haven't done it for too long that you can't do it anymore?"
"What?" Being looked down upon by a woman, the two were instantly furious. "Damn it, wait and see how I'll deal with you later." After saying that, they controlled Taotie to pounce on Zhou Chen.

Tian Hanyun naturally also heard Leng Yiyao's words, but he didn't take it to heart. He just said to himself, "The little girl's martial arts skills are not good enough to see the danger here."

However, just as he was about to take action, Zhou Chen reached out to stop him, "Senior, why do you have to get involved in such a trivial matter? I can handle it myself."

While he was speaking, the ice dragon beside him had already flown towards the Taotie. Although it temporarily stopped the Taotie, Tian Hanyun could see that the originally dark blue color of the ice dragon was rapidly changing to emerald green. This was a sign that poison had entered the body. If it were a real person, it would have been poisoned to death by now.
