Mortal counterattack

As for applying for support from the empire, forget about it. The empire is now in danger. It is said that the Demon Lord issued a letter of war to the Emperor of Daxia a year ago.

No one knows the specific process of which battle, because it is said to be a duel in a different space. They only know that after the battle, His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia was seriously injured and has been in seclusion until today. This also caused the demons to The united demon clan invaded Daxia in large numbers.

However, because the Demon Lord was also seriously injured, the Demon Clan no longer had the absolute power to crush them. Now they could only cooperate with the surrounding Demon Clan and occupied a few counties and villages. Most of the territory was still controlled by Daxia.

This also resulted in heavy casualties among the members of the Demon Suppressing Division across the country. The Demon Suppressing Guards in Wu'an County also changed a lot. It is no wonder that when he was besieged before, he basically did not recognize the Demon Suppressing Guards present, only a few people recognized him.

The next day, Zhou Chen put on his long-lost official uniform and went to the Demon Suppression Division. Due to Zhou Chen's sudden disappearance, the captain of the 19th team has been replaced by Leng Ningshuang. Although he is back now, it is impossible to replace Leng Ningshuang. Shuang was demoted again. After all, Leng Ningshuang had made a lot of contributions to the Demon Suppressing Division in the past few years, and his strength had reached the sixth level. There was no reason for him to return to the Demon Suppressing Guard.

Qinglong usually doesn't come out to arrange tasks. He always sits in his room and arranges them. Now that Zhou Chen is standing in the courtyard, Qinglong walks out of the courtyard and comes to him.

Nowadays, Zhou Chen's aura is restrained, and he can't see Zhou Chen's cultivation at all. "I'm surprised why I can't see your cultivation. Tell me honestly what level of cultivation you have reached now"?

Zhou Chen scratched his head and said, "Fourth level peak."

Qinglong nodded, and then said, "Now that the Nineteenth Team is led by Leng Ningshuang, you should be the Demon Suppressor first."

"Sir, I just came back and I'm not familiar with it yet. I'd better serve as a demon-suppressing guard under Ningshuang first."

Although he was confused, he still agreed to him, "In that case, it's up to you." Then he took out a scroll, "I shouldn't have assigned you a task when you just came back, but this matter is urgent, and you are the only one in the entire Demon Suppression Division. It’s suitable, I’ll leave this matter to your 19th team.”

After receiving the scroll, Zhou Chen did not rush to open it to check, but took the scroll to Leng Ningshuang.

Leng Ningshuang, who was practicing sword skills in the courtyard, saw Zhou Chen arriving and asked in confusion, "Brother Zhou, why are you here?"

"Why aren't you welcome?"

"You didn't misunderstand me."

Zhou Chen threw a scroll over. Your Excellency asked me to serve as a demon-suppressing guard under you first. That is the task assigned to you by Your Excellency.

Today, there are only two people in the Nineteenth Team, one is the captain Leng Ningshuang, and the other is the team member Wang Yong. There were enough manpower before, but now the Demon Suppression Division is performing more dangerous tasks, and the casualties are several times higher than before. Those added team members died in the execution of their missions, and new team members have not yet been added.

"Sir, are you confused? With your strength, why would you be allowed to be a demon-suppressing guard? I'll go find him." After saying that, he was going to find Qinglong. Zhou Chen quickly stopped him, "There's no need to go. This It’s my own choice.”

Not only Leng Ningshuang, but also Wang Yong was confused, "Why is this?"

"You know the current situation better than I do. I am the closest to you two in this Demon Suppression Division. I don't want anything to happen to either of you."

"But".

"Okay, whether it's a demon-suppressing envoy or a demon-suppressing guard, they both protect Wu'an County, there is no difference." As for the so-called treatment, Zhou Chen really doesn't like it now.

"I haven't had time to read that scroll, what's written on it?"

Leng Ningshuang then opened the scroll and took a look, "This task is not easy." Zhou Chen frowned and stepped forward to take the scroll and take a look. The content was to go to Xiaohua Village to capture a flower demon.

"It's just a monster, simple."

Hearing Leng Ningshuang said, "This flower demon has the strength of the fourth level peak. It has been in Xiaohua Village for a long time and is also the strongest demon beast in Xiaohua Village."

"So that's it." Seeing Zhou Chen's face still calm, "Brother Zhou, this is a fourth-grade monster, why do you look like you are not stressed at all?"

"Haha, is the fourth grade very strong?"

Wang Yong said helplessly, "I think this is Master Qinglong deliberately making things difficult for us. He went to find him. Although he is our superior, he cannot do this."

"Okay, Brother Wang, there will be no surprises with me here." The two knew that Zhou Chen's strength was extraordinary, but they were still a little worried. After all, it was a fourth-grade monster, not an ordinary monster.

Leng Ningshuang trusted Zhou Chen more. Since he said there was no problem, there was no problem. Wang Yong saw that he was the only one going to find Qinglong. He gave up the idea and followed the two of them helplessly towards the outside of the Demon Suppression Division.

Before they could reach the outside of the Demon Suppression Division, the three of them were stopped by someone. Seeing this, Leng Ningshuang hurriedly saluted, "I have met Lord White Tiger." Zhou Chen naturally followed suit and saluted. Zhou Chen had seen the white tiger before, but it was not the person in front of him. I think he must have been newly transferred.

"Well, I heard that Qinglong left that matter to you."

Hearing this, Leng Ningshuang said, "Sir, are you talking about Hua Yaowuang?"

"This mission is no small matter. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get away, I would definitely go there in person. It's true that Qinglong sent just a few of you."

At this time Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, we will try our best to complete the task."

Nowadays, Zhou Chen has hidden his aura, and in the eyes of outsiders, he only has the strength of the fourth-grade middle-grade.

Bai Hu raised his eyes and said, "Oh, you are quite strong. You are Zhou Chen who has been missing for two years, right?"

"It is my subordinate."

"You are really strong, but Hua Yao Wu Wang has reached the peak of the fourth rank. I am afraid you cannot deal with him. Let's give the scroll to me. I will find someone else to do this."

Zhou Chen was delighted when he heard him say that. He was about to remind Leng Ningshuang to hand over the things. Although it didn't matter to him, since someone was willing to take the initiative to do this job, he was happy to let him go.

As a result, before he could speak, Leng Ningshuang said directly, "Since we have already accepted this task, we will not bother you, sir. We will naturally complete this task." Then he said directly to Zhou Chen and the others, "Let's go."

Seeing this, Bai Hu showed an angry look on his face, "How dare you talk to me like this?" Then the pressure was released. Leng Ningshuang and Wang Yong immediately felt a mountain pressing down on their heads and knelt on the ground on the spot.

Zhou Chen was fine, still standing there, but his eyes had changed from respectful to cold.

Seeing the expression on Zhou Chen's face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"My Lord, you are going too far."

Baihu sneered, "Huh, disrespectful to the superior, according to the laws of Daxia, I can kill them now."

Then he pointed at Zhou Chen, "And you, a small town demon guard, dare to talk to me like this, is this what Qinglong usually teaches you?"

As he said this, he walked towards Zhou Chen, and the pressure on his body continued to increase, and the pressure increased with every step. In his eyes, as a fourth-grade warrior, even if his strength was higher than Zhou Chen, he still needed to intimidate Zhou Chen with the pressure he exuded.

What he wanted to do was to make Zhou Chen resist, and then he could do it with a clear reason. Zhou Chen naturally saw his idea, but why he did this, Zhou Chen couldn't think of it.
