Mortal counterattack

As for Zhou Chen, he had no chance to enter the library because his reward was different from others. After everyone left, Zhou Chen was left alone by Qinglong.

Watching everyone leave, Qinglong took out a book from the storage ring and handed it to Zhou Chen. When he was confused, Qinglong said slowly, "This is the earth-level middle-grade martial arts sword-fighting technique. It is a command. You asked me to hand it over to you before retreating."

Zhou Chen was excited when he saw the secret book handed over by Qinglong, and saw Qinglong reminding him again, "Earth-level martial arts are not trivial. Even I am not qualified to practice them. Don't let me down."

After taking the secret book and quickly putting it into the storage ring, Zhou Chen said, "Don't worry, sir, I won't let you down." Then he looked at Qinglong again and asked, "Sir, can I also go to the library to pick out a book?" Martial Arts".

Qinglong glared at him angrily, "If you bite off more than you can chew, let's practice this sword-controlling technique first. Earth-level martial arts are no small matter. Although this martial arts is a middle-grade earth-level martial arts, it can be very powerful if used well. It’s as good as the top grade on the earth’s level.”

Seeing that his little idea failed, Zhou Chen was not disappointed and bowed his hands, then turned and left the yard.

Now that Leng Yiyao is already a member of the Demon Suppressing Division, he will naturally be rewarded for this mission. Leng Yiyao chose the mid-level earth-level martial skill Shadow Claw, which is an offensive martial skill with dark attributes.

Zhou Chen didn't say much about this. His true energy was temporarily attributeless and he could practice martial arts with any attribute.

After Zhou Chen returned home, he began to practice the Sword Control Technique in seclusion. As an earth-level mid-level martial art, the Sword Control Technique is extremely powerful and consumes a huge amount of infuriating energy. However, Zhou Chen now has a thousand years of skill, plus the Linglong Pagoda rank The recovery effect of the second level can also afford the consumption of the Sword Control Technique.

To practice the Sword Control Technique, you must first open up several hidden sheath points in the body. It may be difficult for others, but it is not a problem for Zhou Chen. As long as he moves his true energy through each hidden sheath point according to the requirements, it will be fine. When the time comes when Sword Control appears on the panel, he will be able to improve his martial skills by adding points.

It has to be said that the practice of this sword-controlling technique is very difficult. It took me two hours just to walk around in a simple circle. Fortunately, the words "sword-controlling technique" have already appeared on the panel.

"It is indeed an earth-level martial skill. Just a simple introduction requires more than 900 strengthening points." Zhou Chen scratched his head helplessly, and then began to decompose the demon patterns.

Yesterday's battle allowed him to obtain almost a thousand demon marks. The decomposition of these demon marks was also a big project. The continuous decomposition had made his spirit a little numb. It took about ten hours to decompose these things. .

At this time, Zhou Chen's hair was messy and he said, "Practice is not easy." Even though he was a master of the fifth level of strength, Zhou Chen was still very sleepy at this time. After decomposing the demon pattern, he didn't rush to improve the sword control technique and just fell asleep. .

He slept until the afternoon of the next day. When he woke up, he found Leng Yiyao sitting next to him practicing.

Zhou Chen did not bother him but went out to eat some food alone. The food of the Zhenmo Division was made from the meat of ninth-grade monster beasts. Now that the meat of ninth-grade beasts is no longer acceptable to him, he only eats it to fill his stomach. It's just his stomach. Zhou Chen found that now he could only hunt monsters if he wanted to quickly improve his strength.

The speed of obtaining strengthening points according to the previous method is too slow. Of course, if you can get powerful meat, it is another matter. Just like the Zhentian Demon King, if his meat is converted into strengthening points, it will definitely be a big deal. A lot of income.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Chen opened his dashboard. His current number of enhancement points had reached more than 7,000. At this time, Zhou Chen had an unconcealable smile on his lips.

The surrounding colleagues who were also eating looked at Zhou Chen with doubts, but due to Zhou Chen's strength, they just glanced at him and continued eating without discussing in private.

Then he packed a meal for Leng Yiyao and left the dining hall. When he returned to the room, as soon as he stepped in, a big black hand suddenly appeared from the ground and grabbed his body.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen quickly exited the room. For a moment, his ultimate eye was activated, and he saw clearly that Leng Yiyao was the only one in the room. It was just Leng Yiyao who was joking with him.

Zhou Chen put away his magical powers and walked into the room with a smile, "Not bad, you can master Xuan-level martial arts in such a short time."

"I barely got started. Now it's just superficial, and it has no lethality for the time being."

Leng Ningshuang and Wang Yong also each obtained a book of Xuan-level martial arts. They are still in retreat. You can imagine how talented Leng Yiyao is.

After eating, the two returned home. In the past two days, the people in the city have returned to their respective villages one after another. Now that the danger has been temporarily lifted, it is impossible for Wu'an County to let them stay. If they can stay in a hotel, there will be no one. No matter, but if you sleep on the street, that won't work.

Before leaving, he gave each person a few kilograms of meat, and the people were grateful for this. However, when the government announced that this year's tax would be increased by 20%, all the people were furious, and their villages were more or less destroyed. Monster attacks.

The farmers in the farmland have naturally been affected to a greater or lesser extent. This year's harvest is definitely not as good as in previous years. Not only do they not see tax exemptions, but they also want to add more to the atmosphere.

However, the county magistrate was adamant and they could only complain and could not bear their resentment.

At this time, deep in Wuhua Mountain, the Zhentian Demon King sat on a high platform and looked at the little demon below. Although his injuries had stabilized at this time, the remaining sword energy in his body could not be forced out for a while.

Whenever he used his power, this sword energy would come out to cause trouble, causing his strength to drop by 50%.

The Zhentian Demon King said to his demons, "Go find some boys and girls for me." After that, he closed his eyes, and the demons below left the huge cave.

Time passed quickly, and two months had passed in a blink of an eye. During this period, Wu'an County was very uneasy. From time to time, boys and girls disappeared, and the Demon Suppression Division also responded to this.

The Demon Suppression Guards and Demon Envoys under his command were specially sent out and stationed in every village and county. Even so, this incident still happened from time to time. Wu'an County was too large, and the Demon Suppression Division was short of manpower. They had no way to deal with it. They could only try their best to protect it, but could not solve it completely.

Zhou Chen was in charge of a county near Wu'an County, called "Luyuan County".

There is only one team in the entire Lvyuan County, their 19th team, with only four people in total. Recently, more and more people have disappeared, and they are simply too busy to handle it.

As for where these missing people went, the Demon Suppression Division knew it in their hearts, but that was the Zhentian Demon King, and they could not deal with it for the time being, so they could only wait for Zhen Nantian to come out of retreat.

The Lord of the City also sent a request for help to the Empire, but the result was that they solved it on their own, and the old City Lord was also very helpless about this.

He also knew a little about the reason. Recently, a large number of monsters appeared in the Empire, and they broke into human towns. Now the Demon Suppression Divisions in various parts of Daxia are extremely busy, and the casualties are several times higher than usual. It is not very likely to ask colleagues from other Demon Suppression Divisions for help.
