Mortal counterattack

Master Wang didn't pay attention to Zhou Chen until the banquet was over. After the meal, Zhou Chen and Zhao Kuo left the beast building first, while Master Wang and Master Xia stayed down to continue talking about things.

"Brother Zhou, I'm not talking about you. What you refused just now was a bit direct."

Zhou Chen said indifferently, "I've said everything there is to say."

"Actually, there are many benefits to joining the Demon-Suppressing Division. Not only is the salary high, but you can also learn more powerful martial arts after joining the Demon-Suppressing Division. And I heard that the Demon-Suppressing Division has martial arts that can be advanced to the third level."

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is there no one other than the Demon Suppressing Division?"

"I don't know about this. I think there should be some other big forces."

Zhao Kuo was a little drunk and staggered when walking. Otherwise, he would not have told Zhou Chen these things.

Leng Yiyao was not a person who liked to hang out, but he followed Xia Rong and came back very late every day, but today he came back quite early.

Leng Yiyao looked a little unhappy. Zhou Chen thought he was feeling unwell and asked, "Yiyao, what's wrong with you?"

Leng Yiyao said nothing, while Xia Rong said, "We met some gangsters when we were shopping today. They teased Sister Leng."

Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold, "Your strength is not low now, who can bully you?"

It was still early now, so Zhou Chen slapped the table and said, "Take me where are they now?"

Leng Yiyao said, "No, I'm fine, Brother Chen, please don't go."

"Sister Leng, just stay home and don't worry about it. Brother Chen and I will help you vent your anger." After saying that, he led Zhou Chen towards the county office. Leng Yiyao followed him out uneasy.

Soon the two found the gangsters. What surprised Zhou Chen was that the guy leading them turned out to be a ninth-level master with a strength of 73. No wonder Xia Rong was no match for them.

Not only him, but also the strength of several of his men around him reached 20 or 30, and several people also saw Zhou Chen and the others.

"Hey girls, we are looking for help. It's not me, I'm talking about you. Even if you want to find someone, you should find someone stronger. His small body is not enough for my brothers."

"You bullied my wife"?

The gangster clenched his fist and said, "Madam, which one are you talking about, him or him?" He pointed at the two people next to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen saw that there were many calluses on his fingers. It seemed that he should be practicing boxing or palm skills.

Zhou Chen had a sneer on his lips, stepped in front of him, grabbed his finger, and then twisted it so hard that the gangster's finger deformed on the spot.

With a scream, Leng Yiyao was so scared that she covered her eyes, while Xia Rong said excitedly, "Okay, Brother Chen did a great job."

"What are you idiots doing here? I'll destroy him." After hearing his words, the gangsters reacted and punched Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen loosened his fingers and kicked him in the stomach. The gangster flew backwards for more than ten meters, and then easily knocked down the rest of the people.

Although no assassin was killed, one of everyone's arms was broken by Zhou Chen. Only then did they realize that they had offended someone they shouldn't have.

"How dare you mess with my Wuji Boxing Gym? How dare you leave your name?"

Xia Rong said, "Remember his name is Zhou Chen. If you are not convinced, just go back and find help."

Everyone trembled when they heard Zhou Chen's name. They were too frightened to speak, got up and ran away quickly. The gangster leader looked at Zhou Chen viciously and said, "Wait for me."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After teaching them a lesson, Zhou Chen took the two girls back to the Yamen. Xia Rong kept flattering Zhou Chen on the way.

"I thought Uncle Zhao was already powerful enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more powerful than Uncle Zhao."

Zhou Chen ignored him and Xia Rong continued to ask, "Brother Chen, how do you practice? Can you teach me?"

"The killing sword you practice is very good. As long as you work hard, you can reach my level."

Lord Wang left Qinghua County the next day. Doctor Hua's medical skills were still very good. By the time Lord Wang left, his injuries were almost healed.

Originally, Zhou Chen planned to buy a house in the city, but Leng Yiyao wanted to continue living in the mountain village. Zhou Chen didn't care. Since Leng Yiyao didn't want to live in the city, he would find someone to live in the original place. rebuild the house.

However, it is winter now, and the cold weather is not suitable for building a house, so we have put it on hold for the time being, planning to wait until the weather gets warmer next year before starting construction.

As for the other villagers, Zhou Chen paid for them to repair it. The repairs cost almost no money for each family. At the same time, he also sent some food to each family to ensure that they could survive this winter.

Zhou Chen and his wife continued to live in the county government office. It wasn't that they didn't want to move out, but that Mr. Xia didn't want them to leave. In addition, Xia Rong liked to be with Leng Yiyao, so Zhou Chen simply stayed there temporarily. Lived in the county government office.

Half a month passed like this, and Zhou Chen had finished eating the animal meat in his hand. He got 30 strengthening points. Zhou Chen spent 12 points to upgrade his killing knife to the level of Dacheng.

Zhou Chen's strength was improved again. His strength increased by 80 and directly reached the height of 645. At this time, Zhou Chen felt that he was about to break through.

However, it would take twenty strengthening points to upgrade the Killing Sword to perfection. He only has eighteen points now, and he is still two points short of improving it for the time being.

That day, Zhou Chen was watching Leng Yiyao and Xia Rong practicing their swordsmanship. Lord Xia suddenly came to him. Zhou Chen stood up and saluted, "I have met Lord Xia."

Master Xia smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, you don't have to be so polite." Then he said to Xia Rong, "Xiao Rong must be tired after practicing for so long. Go take Miss Leng out for a walk."

After hearing his words, Xia Rong felt happy and left with Leng Yiyao. Zhou Chen knew that Mr. Xia had something to tell him, so he sent Xia Rong away.

After the two left, Zhou Chen asked, "Sir, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Mr. Xia was not polite and said directly, "Isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? The imperial court has prepared some supplies for the soldiers at the border. Now these supplies have arrived in Qinghua County. I, Qinghua County, are responsible for keeping these items safer." sent to the border."

Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "Master Xia, do you want me to help escort you?"

"Yes, Capt. Zhao will also go with you when the time comes. To be honest, I wouldn't have come to invite you in normal times, but the situation is not that happy now."

Zhou Chen wondered, "How to say this?"

"To be honest, the empire has not been peaceful in the past few years. The monsters that were originally hidden in the mountains have recently appeared frequently near cities where humans live. For this reason, the Demon Suppression Division, which was originally idle, has been very busy recently. I I was afraid that something might happen while transporting supplies, so I decided to ask Xiaochen for your help."

Although Zhou Chen's current realm is only the eighth level, his strength has definitely reached the seventh level. He doesn't look down on ordinary monsters now, so he can go on this trip.

"Since Mr. Xia has spoken, I will make this trip for you."

Seeing Zhou Chen's promise to Lord Xia, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I feel relieved now that you are here."

Master Xia then told Zhou Chen about the escort and departure time, and then left.

When Leng Yiyao came back in the evening, Zhou Chen told him about this matter. Of course, Zhou Chen did not tell him about the possibility of encountering monsters on the road.
