Chapter 130 Encountering a Strong Enemy
There were both rich and poor people in the area that Zhou Chen was responsible for. The officers and soldiers searched the poor people's homes very roughly. They basically left everything in a mess after the search. At the same time, they also ransacked the family's finances.
As for those whose families were richer, it was better. They stuffed a bag of silver into the officer the moment he entered the door. The officers and soldiers who benefited from the benefits naturally did not go too far, they just did a symbolic check and left.
As for the big families, let alone those who had enough money, the officers and soldiers only went in for a brief look and then left. In the evening, the officers and soldiers finally managed to finish the search.
Zhou Chen and the others were drinking tea in a private room of an inn. At this time, several officers and soldiers pushed in the door. Their chests were bulging. They came to the table and took out money bags one after another from their arms. , Zhou Chen just looked at it, while Leng Ningshuang and the other two looked at the money bags piled up into a mountain with shocked expressions.
Although he knew what they meant, Zhou Chen still asked, "What do you mean?"
The leading officer smiled and stepped forward and underestimated Zhou Chen in his ear for a long time. Zhou Chen showed a satisfied smile and said, "I don't want this money anymore. Just divide it with my two brothers. As for mine, I don't want it anymore." Just treat it as tea for the brothers."
After saying that, Zhou Chen left here. The money looked like a lot, but most of it was copper plates, which actually didn't amount to much. Zhou Chen now had thousands of people around him, so he wouldn't care about this little money.
When the leading officer saw that Zhou Chen did not accept the money, he was a little embarrassed for a moment. Fortunately, Leng Ningshuang and the others accepted the money, so they felt a lot more at ease.
Zhou Chen was walking alone on the street, "Fortunately, no one was found in my area, otherwise it would be troublesome."
When Zhou Chen was passing by an area, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the rooftop in the distance. There were quite a few people listening to the sound. Zhou Chen looked up and saw that a middle-aged man was being chased by several demon-suppressing guards.
Zhou Chen could clearly see that this middle-aged man's skill had reached more than 260 years, while the demon-suppressing guard behind him only had a few hundred strength, and was not at the same level of warrior as him.
Even so, they were chased by them. Zhou Chen could guess the reason. This was Wu'an County after all. Now that the Demon-Suppressing Guards had discovered it, they naturally wanted to leave here as soon as possible. It took a long time for the Demon-Suppressing Guards to leave. He won't be able to escape when the top brass comes.
Those demon-suppressing guards couldn't catch up with the man at all, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther. Zhou Chen originally didn't want to care, but at this time, several demon-suppressing guards passed by him.
At this time, Zhou Chen couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he had no choice but to take out his iron bow and aim at the man. The arrows shot through the air with a few bangs. Although he missed, he successfully stopped the middle-aged man.
Zhou Chen continued to shoot arrows, but his archery skills were mediocre and could not hurt the man at all. At this time, the demon-suppressing guards had already surrounded the man.
Seeing that he couldn't run away, the man's eyes became cold. He was not afraid of the trash in front of him. He was only afraid of the high-level officials in Wu'an County. He saw more than a dozen demon-suppressing guards rushing towards the man.
The man just snorted coldly, and then his true energy burst out, directly knocking away all the demon-suppressing guards who pounced on him.
He did not look at the demon-suppressing guards who fell to the ground but turned to look at Zhou Chen in the distance, "You dare to stop me, you must be tired of living."
The sound was not loud, but Zhou Chen could hear it clearly. At this time, there were more demon-suppressing guards coming around, but they were just ordinary demon-suppressing guards, and the demon-suppressing envoy had not arrived yet.
Seeing the man rushing toward him, Zhou Chen raised his hand to meet his palm. Before they collided, a huge burst of zhenqi exploded, knocking away all the demon-suppressing guards who wanted to step forward to help.
"Stand back."
After the two of them fought each other with their internal strength, Zhou Chen gradually fell into a disadvantage. Then he used Frost Phantom, and Zhou Chen quickly dodged his palm wind. Without Zhou Chen's hindrance, his palm wind directly blasted a house behind Zhou Chen. broken.
With the blessing of Frost Phantom, Zhou Chen's speed increased by fifteen points. When he noticed that Zhou Chen appeared behind him, the man didn't look back and just hit Zhou Chen with a casual strike.
At this time, Zhou Chen was holding the Demon-Suppressing Knife in his hand, and he smashed the wind in his palm with one blow. At the same time, Zhou Chen's body flew out upside down.
Zhou Chen stood on the roof and looked at the man below, thinking, "The support from the Demon Suppression Division should be arriving soon. I just need to keep him here."
After saying that, Zhou Chen swung his sword towards the man. At the same time, Fengyun Sword condensed a 35-meter-long sword and swung it towards the man. At this time, the man also used his inner strength to condense a long sword.
The long sword suspended above his head took the blow for him. Zhou Chen was a little shocked when he saw the flying sword above his head. The long sword condensed with true energy could actually hit his Fengyun Sword. At this time, the remaining power of Fengyun Sword had already divided the house behind the man into two.
The people inside were so frightened that they had already fled the room. At the same time, several demon-suppressing guards began to evacuate the surrounding people, asking them to hide as far away from here as possible.
The strength in Zhou Chen's hand increased again, and his long sword began to fall towards the top of his head, obviously at a disadvantage.
The man did not resist forcefully. He turned sideways to dodge the sword, and then charged towards Zhou Chen with a long sword in his hand. Although the Fengyun Sword was powerful, it was extremely heavy. Seeing that the man was getting close, he quickly put away the Fengyun Sword and used it with his sword. It's impossible to get close to him and kill him.
The two of them were fighting at close range, so the surrounding demon guards had no way to intervene, because during the process of the two fighting with swords, there was a constant flow of sword and knife energy. If they were too close, they would be torn apart by the sword and knife energy.
The man's swordsmanship was very fast, and Zhou Chen could only barely hold on. Seeing that Zhou Chen was no match for the man, he thrust out a sword fiercely. At the same time, Zhou Chen saw that the sword energy on his sword had condensed into a small green snake.
The small green snake flew directly towards Zhou Chen's chest. Zhou Chen dodged his attack in a panic, and then saw the man kicking him in the chest. Zhou Chen was kicked hard and fell directly from the roof.
The demon guards below hurried forward to catch Zhou Chen. At the same time, several demon guards went up to fight with him, but they were all solved by him in one move. There was no way to solve the gap between the middle third grade and the lower third grade.
Even with simple sword fighting, they were no match for the man. Without using the magic of demon patterns, Zhou Chen was not good at close combat. His Fengyun Sword and Extreme Ice Bloom were both long-range attack methods.
Seeing that the man was about to rush up, Zhou Chen stood firm and swung the Fengyun Sword again, forcing the man back directly. At the same time, the man turned his long sword and performed a sword move. At the same time, a whirlwind appeared on his long sword.
When he threw the whirlwind, it instantly grew larger. Zhou Chen sensed the danger and quickly asked everyone to dodge. At the same time, he also quickly dodged, but even so, several demon-suppressing guards were still caught in the whirlwind.
This was not an ordinary whirlwind, but was condensed by the man's sword energy. The sword energy inside was rampant and those who were caught in it would be torn apart by the sword energy.
Hearing the screams coming from inside, Zhou Chen had no choice but to grit his teeth and rush up to fight with him. At this moment, a golden light fell from the sky and landed directly on the whirlwind. In an instant, the whirlwind disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, a golden light hit the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man immediately condensed his true energy to resist.
