Chapter 74 Return to the Village
"Don't worry about me, you guys go first. The most urgent thing now is to take Lord Xia away." Looking at Lord Xia who was carried on his back, Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and left with Lord Xia.

As soon as they left, the humanoid monster and the inner demon rushed out of the secret room. After Zhao Wu turned into a humanoid monster, his strength reached 970, while the inner demon's strength was no longer just a question mark, but became 1020.

I think it’s not because of the original body. The strength that this statue of his can withstand should be only over a thousand.

Anyway, as long as it is not a question mark, Zhou Chen is not afraid at all. The inner demon points his finger at Zhou Chen and says, "Zhao Wushang, kill him for me."

After receiving the order, the humanoid monster pounced towards Zhou Chen directly. The eight spider legs behind Zhou Chen instantly appeared and entangled with Zhao Wu's spider legs. Zhou Chen's strength at this time was lower than Zhao Wu, and Zhao Wu also had eight spider legs.

So his advantage was gone, but Zhou Chen's strength was far more than that. After fighting with him for a few moves, Zhou Chen retreated explosively into the yard.

Zhao Wu also chased out, and the inner demon slowly walked out of the room and looked at the two people fighting in the yard. The people in the inner courtyard who were trapped by vines in the yard were shocked when they saw the humanoid monster, "Fuck, how could this monster come out of the master's room".

Zhou Chen did not explain this to them, and Zhao Wu, who had turned into a humanoid monster, naturally could not explain it to them either.

Suddenly, a green snake shadow appeared behind Zhou Chen, and a green tail swung directly towards Zhao Wu. Although he defended in time, he was still knocked back dozens of steps by the huge force.

Zhou Chen didn't give him a chance to breathe. He pointed his finger at Zhao Wu, and the green snake behind him opened its mouth and bit towards him. Seeing that Zhao Wu was no match for his inner demon, he attacked directly.

Zhou Chen would not let him succeed. Several vines emerged from the ground and rushed towards the inner demon. The toughness and attack power of these vines were too low. They were not enough to deal with the inner demon, but they were more than enough to stop him.

The phantom of the green snake hit Zhao Wu directly. Although he used his spider legs to block it in time, the attack power of the green snake was over 10,000. Several of his spider legs were shattered in an instant, and his chest was also pierced by the broken spider legs.

At this time, the inner demon broke through the obstruction of the vines and came to Zhao Wu's side, but it was too late. The inner demon looked at Zhou Chen fiercely, and then joined forces with Zhao Wu to kill Zhou Chen.

This Zhao Wu dared to kidnap the county magistrate and worship the evil demon. Zhou Chen would have no worries even if he slaughtered all his people in Wuji Boxing Gym openly today.

Zhou Chen immediately released the power of the earth, and then immediately used the power of the giant spirit. After adding one hundred points of strength, his strength increased by another thirty percent. In an instant, his strength reached 1378, which was far beyond the limit of a seventh-grade warrior.

As his body doubled in size, the eight spider legs behind him also doubled in size. The Inner Demon felt something was not good, and just when he wanted to retreat and escape, Zhou Chen ran away and bypassed Zhao Wu and came in front of the Inner Demon.

Although the Inner Demon's strength was at the seventh level at this time, he could still use some middle-third-level skills. Seeing Zhou Chen rushing towards him, the Inner Demon immediately mobilized the weak demonic energy in his body.

In an instant, countless black air condensed around his body, and the black air condensed into a sickle and attacked Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen sneered and gently raised the spider legs behind him to shatter the black sickle. At the same time, the remaining spider legs behind him directly stabbed at his clay body.

Although there was black gas defense around his body, it was still easily pierced by Zhou Chen's spider legs. Then several spider legs exerted force at the same time to break his clay body into pieces.

In an instant, the black air around him dissipated. Zhou Chen turned around again and looked at Zhao Wu lying on the ground. Zhao Wu had turned into a monster. Even if he could turn back into a human, he could not be saved.

Zhou Chen rushed forward with cold eyes and stepped directly on his chest. Zhao Wu died before he could even let out a howl. After doing all this, Zhou Chen retracted his magical powers and turned away.

After Zhou Chen left, the vines in the courtyard also disappeared. After regaining their freedom, many inner disciples hurried to Zhao Wu's room to look for him. After entering, they naturally found the secret room in the room, but they did not find Zhao Wu's body after searching around. Lord Xia was not sent back to the county government at this time, but was sent directly to Doctor Hua. Not long after they arrived, Zhou Chen walked in. Seeing Zhou Chen with a bald upper body, everyone was puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
"Don't worry about me, how is Lord Xia?"

"Lord Xia is fine, he just suffered some minor injuries. He will be fine after a few days of rest."

Afterwards, Zhao Kuo stayed behind to take care of Lord Xia, while Zhou Chen returned to the county government office. The next morning, after Xia Rong learned about her father's condition, she rushed to Doctor Hua as soon as possible.

At this time, Lord Xia was awake. Although he was injured, he was no longer in danger of death.

Zhao Kuo returned to the county government office, and for a period of time thereafter, no humanoid monsters appeared in Qinghua County, and the matter came to an end. As for the matter of several demon-suppressing guards, Zhen Nantian had already informed Lord Xia in advance, and the matter had also passed.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, Qinghua County was relatively peaceful and nothing major happened. Zhou Chen also practiced the Demon-Suppressing Sword Technique to the entry level.

There was no way to guarantee his food in Qinghua County, and it was difficult to obtain strengthening points. In addition, the strengthening points consumed by the strengthening of the Demon-Suppressing Sword Technique were too many.

His strength also increased by 60 points as he learned the Demon-Suppressing Sword Technique. At this rate, the Demon-Suppressing Sword Technique could definitely support him until he broke through to the sixth level. He then opened his attribute panel to check.

Host: Zhou Chen
Realm: Seventh level (bone training)
Strength: 1020 (540+480)

Speed: 28
Skill: None

Martial arts: Ordinary archery (great success), Liuhe swordsmanship (breaking the limit), Iron shirt (breaking the limit), Killing sword (perfection), Demon-suppressing swordsmanship (entry level)

Strengthening points: 16
According to his calculations, as long as his strength reaches one thousand, he can reach the sixth rank. Of course, this refers to his own strength, not including the additional power of the demon pattern. Even so, even if Zhou Chen does not use his magical powers, he can still kill all warriors below the sixth rank in seconds. No one in Qinghua County can be his opponent.

Seeing that the weather was getting warmer day by day, Zhou Chen began to consider rebuilding his house. Leng Yiyao had urged him several times for this.

This time Zhou Chen did not plan to delay any longer, and immediately went to the city to find the best craftsmen to build the house. When they heard that they were going to build the house in the mountain village, they were reluctant at first, but after hearing the price Zhou Chen offered, they had no problem.

Zhou Chen and his friend didn't have high requirements. They didn't need to use very good materials. Instead, they just restored the yard to its original appearance and simply enlarged the house a little.

The house was built very quickly and was completed in half a month. Zhou Chen and the others bid farewell to the county magistrate, Lord Xia, and returned to the mountain village with Leng Yiyao and several carts of food and supplies.

Lord Xia originally wanted to keep Zhou Chen, but when he remembered that Zhou Chen was now a reserve member of the Demon Suppression Division, he gave up the idea. After all, he would have to leave sooner or later.

The news that Zhou Chen and his companion were returning had already spread in the village. Before they reached the village entrance, they saw from afar the village chief and many villagers waiting to greet them at the entrance.
