Chapter 43: Battle against a th-Rank Master
"Brother Zhou, why do you think the Badao Martial Arts School capture so many babies for no reason?"
Zhou Chen replied casually, "Who knows, maybe Li Ba is practicing some weird martial arts."
Just as the two were chatting, two black shadows rushed out of the Badao Martial Arts School. "Huh, they finally came out." Not only that, the two men in black actually rushed straight towards Zhou Chen and the others.
"Their target seems to be our Brother Zhou"?
"Father is Zhou Chen," he said, pointing at Zhou Chen.
"Hmph, today is the day he will die for killing so many disciples of my martial arts school. Baer, just stand by and watch how your father kills these two men."
After hearing this, Li Ba stopped on a roof, while Li Long rushed towards Zhou Chen and the other two. He did not have any weapons but fought Zhou Chen and the other two with his bare hands.
Zhao Kuo was the first to draw his sword and rush forward, while Zhou Chen bent his bow and aimed, also using an armor-piercing arrow. The arrow had already been shot before Zhao Kuo and Li Long came into contact.
Li Long raised his hand and grabbed the arrow that was shot at his heart, "It had good power, but it's a pity that it hit me."
He casually threw away the arrow and slapped the long sword in Zhao Kuo's hand. Zhao Kuo only felt a huge force coming from his right hand, and then the long sword flew out of his hand. Before he could react, he was kicked hard in the chest.
Zhao Kuo was kicked so hard that he vomited blood and fell to the ground. Zhou Chen ignored Zhao Kuo, bent his bow and shot a few arrows again, then threw down the bow and turned around and ran away.
After he approached, Zhou Chen saw clearly his strength. He was a seventh-rank warrior with a strength of 400. With his current strength of 320, he would definitely be defeated if he faced him.
However, Zhou Chen might not be afraid of him, it’s just that there are too many people here, and there are some things Zhou Chen doesn’t want others to see.
Zhou Chen, who had the wind-controlling effect, ran away very quickly, but Li Long, who had reached the seventh rank in strength, was not slow either, and followed Zhou Chen closely.
Not far behind them, Li Ba also followed behind the two. In fact, after Li Long's strength broke through the seventh level, he no longer needed the blood donation of babies. Yesterday's case was entirely to lure Zhou Chen out to ambush them, and then Li Long took action to solve the problem.
Soon, the two of them walked out of the city wall of Qinghua County one after the other. Li Ba was left far behind. Three miles after leaving the city, Li Long finally caught up with Zhou Chen. After a palm fight, Zhou Chen retreated ten meters, while Li Long stood still.
"Good boy, you have strong legs. You've kept me chasing you for so long."
"I don't know who you are in Badao Martial Arts School. I have been to Badao Martial Arts School several times, but why have I never seen you there?"
"I will tell you when you die," and then he used his hand as a knife to attack Zhou Chen. After the fight just now, Li Long was also shocked by Zhou Chen's strength. This guy was fine after taking his palm.
So Li Long attacked Zhou Chen without holding back. With the help of the wind control and wind blade, Zhou Chen was not afraid at all and fought with him.
Li Long's martial arts are basically all in the swordsmanship. At the moment he has no sword in his hand, and when he meets a master like Zhou Chen, he is actually at a disadvantage for a moment.
"Good boy, I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so amazing. You can swing the sword at such a young age. It seems that I must kill you today to get rid of all the trouble forever."
At this time, Li Ba had already rushed over and threw out his long sword. Li Long caught it. With the sword in his hand, Li Long's momentum became much stronger, and he was no longer timid towards Zhou Chen.
In a short while, Zhou Chen was beaten back step by step, and his right hand holding the knife felt numb. Although he had the help of the wind blade, he was still no match for Li Long under the attack of absolute power.
However, Zhou Chen still has a trump card. This place located in the mountains and forests is Zhou Chen's battlefield. Zhou Chen had deliberately lured him here before.
Just as the two were fighting with swordsmanship, the ground shook, and several vines broke out of the ground and directly wrapped around Li Long's feet. Zhou Chen suddenly chopped down on his head with his sword. With the help of the wind blade, the sword directly cut off the long sword in Li Long's hand, and at the same time, he chopped towards his shoulder without slowing down.
As a result, Zhou Chen saw a burst of sparks coming out of his shoulder. At the same time, Li Long broke free and kicked Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen blocked it with his sword. Zhou Chen was kicked away and the Black Abyss in his hand fell. Li Long picked up the Black Abyss and attacked Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen waved his hand and countless vines appeared around him and grabbed Li Long.
Although Li Long tried his best to resist, he could not withstand the large numbers and was soon trapped tightly by the vines. Seeing this, Li Ba wanted to step forward to help, but Zhou Chen gave a look and a vine rushed out from the ground and entangled him tightly.
No matter how Li Ba struggled, he could not break free from the restraints. On Li Long's side, the vines were shrinking rapidly under Zhou Chen's control, trying to strangle this seventh-rank master to death. However, he still underestimated the seventh-rank master's physique.
Li Long roared, and the vines wrapped around his body exploded instantly. "Let me show you the power of my Badao Martial Arts School." At this moment, Li Long's strength increased dramatically. Zhou Chen saw that Li Long's strength had increased from four hundred to four hundred and three hundred.
"Father doesn't want it."
"Shut up, this guy has many supernatural powers. If we don't get rid of him today, he will definitely be a disaster in the future."
After listening to the conversation between the two, Zhou Chen guessed that Li Long must have used some means to forcibly improve his strength, but this improvement seemed to have huge side effects.
Zhou Chen controlled the wood method again, and the surrounding trees grew wildly. Countless branches and vines grabbed towards Li Long. Li Long quickly swung his sword and chopped the vines, cutting them off like cutting melons and vegetables.
At the same time, Li Long roared and a blood-red sword energy chopped towards him. Zhou Chen was shocked, "What, this guy is obviously a seventh-grade, why can he chop out sword energy, does he also have magical powers?"
Countless vines emerged from the ground and blocked Zhou Chen's way, but these vines were no match for the blood-red sword energy and were directly split in half.
Seeing the blood-red knife energy appear one meter in front of him, he had nowhere to hide at this time. Zhou Chen took a deep breath and the shadow of a green snake appeared behind him.
The green snake gathered strength and swung out its tail, directly shattering the sword energy. In a flash, it swung out again and hit Li Long who was rushing towards it.
Li Long was hit hard without paying attention and was instantly knocked far away. After using the red sword energy, Li Long's strength had dropped to four hundred and one, while the attack power of the green snake behind Zhou Chen was increased by one hundred under Zhou Chen's own strength, and the attack power of the green snake was as high as four hundred and two.
Li Long stood up with difficulty and looked at Zhou Chen in the distance. At this moment, his clothes were torn to pieces, revealing his soft armor.
"I never thought that an expert like you would wear soft armor."
"What kind of monster are you? Are you a demon in disguise?" Thinking of this, Li Long was shocked and ran away without caring about Li Ba who was trapped beside him.
As soon as Zhou Chen thought about it, the green snake behind him dragged him up and chased after Li Long. At the same time, the vines wrapped around Li Ba suddenly contracted, and then there was a crackling sound. Li Ba screamed in pain, and at the same time, several vines emerged from the ground and pierced his body directly.
Although Li Long was fast, he was still far behind the green snake. He was caught up before he entered the city. The green snake opened its mouth and gathered strength to spray out a stream of venom, which directly sprayed on Li Long's body.
With a scream, Li Long fell to the ground. As he fell, a vine broke out of the ground and directly entangled his body. Li Long was strangled and wailed in pain, "Please let me go."
There was no way Zhou Chen would let him go. Just when he was about to kill someone, he heard footsteps in the distance.
