Chapter 52: Killing the White Wolf with a Punch
The strength of both of them reached more than 600, and the collision between the long sword and the wolf claws actually produced sparks. Zhao Kuo was standing in the distance and watching with shock. If he were to fight with the wolf monster like this, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow.

At this moment, hundreds of white wolves pounced towards them, and Zhou Chen also saw the white wolves around him.

The man in white just ordered, "Boys, bite them to death." Although they were just ordinary wolves, they were too numerous to be stopped.

Zhou Chen sneered and reached out to the void with his left hand. Countless vines instantly grew out of the ground. The vines grew rapidly and formed a shield in just a few breaths. The shield protected the entire convoy.

Everyone was a little scared when they were covered at first, but when Zhou Chen's voice came, everyone felt relieved.

Bailang was also a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to have this trick. It seems I made a mistake."

“Hmph, now that you’re here today, don’t plan on leaving.” Zhou Chen used all his strength, and the white wolf was beaten back by the sword energy. The surrounding wolves wanted to come up to help, but were crushed to pieces by the scattered sword energy.

Seeing this, the wolves did not dare to come forward to help again. They just surrounded the two of them, waiting for Zhou Chen to be defeated and then rush forward.

The white wolf kept retreating, and in a few minutes it had retreated a mile. If it continued like this, it would be defeated sooner or later. After blocking Zhou Chen's sword, the white wolf retreated several steps fiercely, then raised its wolf claws high in the air to represent the "Extreme Cold Region".

In just a moment, the snowflakes in the sky turned into heavy snow, and at the same time Zhou Chen felt a chill sweeping through his body.

Just when he was about to attack again, his sleeve was suddenly cut by something. Zhou Chen looked down and found that not only his sleeve but also his clothes had countless cuts in an instant.

In just a few breaths, his clothes had become tattered. He then saw clearly that the heavy snow in the sky had become extremely sharp at some point. Fortunately, his iron shirt had reached the level of breaking the limit.

Otherwise he would have been seriously injured. The snowflakes fell on his body and made a sound of metal collision. Bai Lang was also surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to have practiced such external skills."

Zhou Chen sneered, "Hmph, there are many things you can't imagine." Then Zhou Chen's body grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it doubled in size before stopping.

This is Zhou Chen's new magical power, the power of the giant spirit. After the magical power is used, the body will double in size and the strength will increase by 30%. While the white wolf was still shocked, Zhou Chen directly punched it.

There was no way that after his body became bigger, Heiyuan seemed too small, especially when holding a dagger.

Seeing Zhou Chen's big fist coming towards him, the wolf demon hurriedly raised his hand and clawed at it. With a bang, the wolf demon screamed and flew backwards. One of the wolf demon's arms had been deformed. Zhou Chen did not give him a chance. He quickly stepped forward to catch up with him and punched him again.

The surrounding snowflakes quickly condensed on the wolf demon's chest to form a shield, hoping to use it to block Zhou Chen's fist. However, Zhou Chen's strength was too great and the shield was directly smashed. Seeing this, Zhou Chen punched again, and this punch hit the wolf demon's chest solidly.

The wolf demon let out a heart-wrenching howl, and the surrounding white wolves were so scared that they took several steps back. Although the white wolves were seriously injured at this time, they still had a chance of survival.

Zhou Chen continued to attack with his fists upon seeing this. After five or six consecutive punches, even the seventh-rank wolf demon was killed. Once the wolf demon died, the surrounding wolves immediately scattered.

At this time, it was dark inside the shield. Although the wolves could not rush in, everyone was extremely panicked in the darkness. At this moment, the shield above quickly dissipated, and faint rays of light shone in.

"Be on guard." Zhao Kuo was the first to draw his sword and prepare to meet the enemy. However, after all the protective shields disappeared, the surrounding wolves had disappeared, and only Zhou Chen was standing shirtless in the snow.

"Where is the wolf demon, brother Zhou?" Zhou Chen said with a smile, "It's okay, I killed the beast." At this moment, Zhou Chen was very happy because the wolf demon gave him a seventh-grade chest demon pattern. Although he couldn't wear it for the time being, it had good properties. When he reached the seventh grade, his strength would be further improved.

After witnessing Zhou Chen's magical powers, all the officers and soldiers admired Zhou Chen very much. In their hearts, Zhou Chen's status had far surpassed Zhao Kuo. "Lord Zhou, what should we do now?"
"Yes, sir."

"Now that the wolf demon has been killed by me, the danger is temporarily gone. Let's all take a rest and continue our journey tomorrow."

Everyone slept peacefully that night, and an hour after dawn the next day, Zhou Chen allowed everyone to continue on their journey.

Zhou Chen changed into a new set of clothes. Looking at the clothes on his body, Zhou Chen thought to himself, "It seems that I have to use this giant's power less in the future. It wears out the clothes too much."

The next few days were very quiet, nothing unexpected happened, and the weather was good, until they were still a hundred miles away from the military camp.

After a few days of peaceful life and as they were about to reach their destination, the tension in everyone's hearts slowly relaxed.

The convoy was driving normally on the official road, but suddenly stopped. Zhou Chen was resting with his eyes closed. When he felt the convoy stopped, he opened his eyes and found that the mountain road in front had collapsed.

Zhao Kuo looked ahead and said, "Oh no, the road has collapsed and the carriage can't pass through. It seems we have to take a detour."

“How long will the detour take?”
Zhao Kuo looked at the map and said, "It won't be long. Remember the intersection we were at just now? We will take that small road and it will take about an hour to get back to the official road."

"Then let's go quickly."

Then everyone returned the same way and found a small road to go around. After walking for about half an hour, a small village appeared in front of them. Zhou Chen asked in confusion, "Brother Zhao, why is there a village here?"
"I'm not very clear about this, I have never walked this road."

It was already late, and Zhao Kuo looked at his brothers behind him who were already exhausted, and said, "Brother Zhou, why don't we stay overnight in the village tonight? We brothers haven't had a good night's sleep for several days."

Zhou Chen turned around, looked at the officers and soldiers behind him, nodded and said "Okay", then Zhao Kuo sent someone to find the village chief. After some communication, the village chief agreed to vacate more than a dozen houses for them to rest.

After parking the carriage, everyone entered the room. There was a stove in the room, and they felt a warm feeling as soon as they entered.

The village chief was also very enthusiastic and had people prepare meals and send them to them. Everyone had not had a good meal for several days, and when they saw the hot meals, they couldn't help but eat them. The meals were very rich, and the officers and soldiers were very full.

Zhou Chen did not go to eat, but stayed outside alone watching the carriage. During this time, the village chief advised him to go in and eat something, but Zhou Chen politely refused.

Zhou Chen even refused to eat the meal brought to him by the village chief, using the excuse that he was not hungry. After the meal, he felt sleepy and everyone climbed onto the kang to sleep. Even Zhao Kuo was no exception and fell asleep as soon as he lay on the kang.

Now Zhou Chen was the only one left outside watching the carriage. Zhou Chen sat on the carriage with his eyes slightly closed. The village chief came out at this time and said, "Sir, it's cold outside, you should sleep inside. There are stoves and kangs inside to keep you warm."

"No need, Village Chief. For those who practice martial arts, this little bit of cold is nothing."
