Chapter 149: Unscrupulous
Finally, on the last day, Zhan Chen patrolled the mine as usual, and gradually walked to the depths of the pit.
The surrounding light grew darker and darker, and the air became more and more cloudy and unusually quiet, except for the faint sound of knocking on the rocks in the distance.
Zhan Chen tried his best to choose a route with a lot of people, avoiding those cramped corners, and he never gave up his vigilance against Xun Hu.
At this moment, there seemed to be a shadow swaying in the darkness on the opposite side, and he hurriedly took out the Tiger Roar Sword and grabbed it in his hand, but when he got closer, he looked at it again, but it was just an ordinary miner.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, withdrew his sword from the Qiankun bag, and continued to walk, finally coming to a relatively wide tunnel.
There are dozens of miners gathered here, digging hard, it is the highest ore production in the area he is responsible for, Zhan Chen was about to go over to ask them about the situation, but found that there was an extra person behind him, suddenly looked back, and called: "Xun Hu!"
"Hahaha, that's good!" Xun Hu walked out of the darkness, revealing his true colors, and the miners who were working also stopped and looked in the direction of the two of them.
Zhan Chen stared at him and asked, "Xun Hu, why are you here?"
Xun Hu smiled slightly and replied: "Zhan Chen, you should know in your heart that you will offend Steward Pang, although I have no grudge against you, but this is what I ordered from above, and I will kill you today." ”
Zhan Chen said: "I expected you to make a move on me, but I didn't expect you to come so blatantly, aren't you afraid that the news will leak out?
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xun Hu's eyes, and he said arrogantly: "Zhan Chen, you can rest assured of this, I will wipe out all the evidence." ”
At this time, a few miners saw that the momentum was not right, so they wanted to take advantage of the confrontation between the two to escape. Xun Hu sneered, flashed, rushed in front of them, raised his axe in his hand, killed several people, and said with a smile: "Ants, you should accept your fate, if you want to resist, you will only die faster!"
The other miners behind Zhan Chen witnessed all this, almost despairing, and they all focused their eyes on Zhan Chen, hoping that he could defeat the demon Xun Hu.
But Zhan Chen didn't show the slightest fear, he took out a vein protection pill and put it down, and then said slowly: "Xun Hu, you really killed people!"
"Yes, none of you want to run away today!"
Xun Hu couldn't hold it anymore, and raised his double axe and swooped towards Zhan Chen, wanting to fight quickly.
Zhan Chen also raised the Tiger Roar Sword and slashed at him, only to hear a "ding", and the weapons of the two collided.
In just an instant, Zhan Chen felt that the entire arm holding the sword had lost consciousness, and his body couldn't help but stiffen.
Xun Hu was unforgiving, and the other axe slashed at Zhan Chen, who hurriedly flew back a few steps and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.
Xun Hu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but smiled at him playfully, looking like he was winning.
At this time, Zhan Chen, who was relieved, only felt that his whole body was soaked with sweat, and when he raised the Tiger Roar Sword, he saw that a small gap was cut out by the big axe, and he was secretly shocked: "I didn't expect that the strength of the high-level Wuzun is so much stronger than the middle-level of the Wuzun! ”
However, after thinking about it, he seemed to understand the truth again: the gap between each level of the martial artist is one thousand catties, but the gap between each level of the martial artist is five thousand catties! With the improvement of the martial artist realm, the challenge of crossing the level will only become more and more difficult.
Secondly, the problem is also in the weapon, the giant axe in Xun Hu's hand is a venerable weapon, weighing more than 10,000 catties, and his own tiger roaring sword is less than 3,000 catties, and the result of the collision between the two can be imagined.
"Old friend, aren't you good anymore?" Zhan Chen sighed as he looked at the Tiger Roaring Sword.
At this time, Xun Hu's arrogant words floated again: "Zhan Chen, you should obediently lead the neck to be killed, the more you struggle, the more painful it will be." ”
Zhan Chen immediately responded to him: "Xun Hu, if you want my life, you can't do it!"
"Hmph, the dead duck is still hard-mouthed, I'm going to take off your arms!" Xun Hu's face sank, and he pounced on Zhan Chen again.
"Eye of the Dao!" Zhan Chen turned on this magical power, trying to dodge every blow of Xun Hu, his spirit was excited, and his battle consciousness was gradually recovering.
The battle situation immediately became interesting, Xun Hu fought extremely aggrieved, and was always dodged by Zhan Chen whenever he wanted to succeed, his mood became more and more annoying, and his moves became more and more fierce, but he was always a fraction of a second, and couldn't help but shout: "Zhan Chen, what kind of magic did you use, why is your life so hard?"
Zhan Chen didn't answer, he focused his mind on a pair of big axes that dodged him, and gradually, he adapted to Xun Hu's path and became more and more comfortable, and he used his opponent as a whetstone to sharpen himself.
However, it was not enough to defeat Xun Hu by dodging alone, Zhan Chen shook him a few more moves, suddenly his eyes froze, and he decided to start fighting back, and the meridians all over his body began to follow the running route of "True Martial Explosion Yuan Duel", and they ran rapidly, breaking through the third layer at once.
At this moment, Zhan Chen felt an infinite amount of power erupt in his body, and the sword in his hand suddenly accelerated, quickly flicking away Xunhu's double axe, and it sank into his heart with a pop.
It was only at this time that an unbelievable look appeared on Xun Hu's face, and the situation took a turn for the worse, and he was defeated by Zhan Chen's men before he even had time to react.
"This, this is impossible!" Xun Hu squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and died of anger.
Zhan Chen pulled out his sword, but he didn't have any joy in his heart, because he found a problem, that is, the bonus effect of the secret method of "True Martial Explosion Yuan Duel" was weakening.
Originally, in the martial arts stage, the third layer could double his strength, but today, when he used the third layer of this secret method again, he found that he only pushed his strength up by eighty, which shows that if he breaks through the realm of Martial King and Martial Emperor in the future, the increase effect will be even less.
Suddenly, he remembered that there was a hint at the beginning of this secret method, "True Martial Explosion Yuan Duel" only has an effect on martial artists below the martial saint, and finally understood the meaning of it.
Then, he leaned down and took Xun Hu's double axe and Qiankun bag away. Unexpectedly, although the demon cultivator was a martial artist, he was very poor, and there were only two thousand medium-grade yuan stones and a few bottles of pills in the Qiankun bag.
Zhan Chen glanced at it casually, then stuffed the Qiankun bag into his arms, turned his head, looked at the frightened miners behind him, and said, "It's okay, you all go back to work, if there is a question about you, you can answer truthfully." ”
"Yes!" the dozens of miners breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zhan Chen say this, and began to work again.
Zhan Chen didn't think anything had happened, completed his daily work as usual, and returned to Chihongzhai the next day, and went to the council hall with the other deacons to meet Pang Snake.
Everyone arrived, Pang Snake didn't see Xun Hu alone, he was shocked, and he felt a little bad, but he asked Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, where is Xun Hu? Isn't he on duty with you? Why did you come back, but he didn't come back?"
Zhan Chen snorted coldly in his heart: "Hmph, I'm still acting!"
But he didn't show his face on the surface, stepped forward, and said to Pang Snake: "Back to the huge man, Xun Hu wanted to kill me in the cave, and I fought back in self-defense and killed him by mistake." ”
"Hmph! Full of lies! Xun Hu is a high-level martial arts powerhouse, your cultivation is a middle-level martial artist, how can he lose to you in a normal competition? I don't think it was you who used some kind of strategy to kill Xun Hu, right?"
"I have witnesses!"
"Oh, where?"
Zhan Chen shouted outside the door: "You all come in!"
A few martial arts miners who had been waiting at the door entered the house, and they all witnessed the whole process of Zhan Chen and Xun Hu's fight, so they told the story one by one.
Pang Snake, who was sitting on top, became more and more angry the more he listened, and scolded Xun Hu for being a waste, and he couldn't even handle an ordinary martial artist whose realm was lower than his own.
After they finished speaking, Zhan Chen said again: "Huge man, this is how things have happened, please decide." ”
"Hmph, bold, Zhan Chen colluded with these miners to murder Xun Hu, the evidence is conclusive, according to the law, you will be condemned to death, you will take them all down for me!" Pang Snake's face changed, and he suddenly scolded.
Everyone was stunned for a while, and Pang Snake wanted to take people without asking.
Zhan Chen was even more stunned: "Huge man, haven't you listened to what a few miners said?"
"I heard that Xun Hu was killed by you, you have already admitted it yourself, and several of their miners have also admitted it, obviously you just colluded and conspired to kill Xun Hu, the evidence is conclusive. ”
"It's ridiculous, it's unreasonable!" Zhan Chen couldn't help but cry out angrily.
Pang Snake glanced at him proudly and said, "You have to remember, here is what I say, I say that you are guilty, who dares to raise objections?"
Speaking of this, he swept the audience with a fierce gaze, and the people he liked couldn't help but bow their heads. Yes, in this Chihong Mountains, at present, Pang Snake has the final say, he can cover the sky with one hand, and he can refer to the deer as a horse.
Zhan Chen gritted his teeth and secretly thought: "Hateful! That Pang Snake has made up his mind to kill me, am I really going to fold here?"
He seemed to think of something, and suddenly laughed on his back, Pang Snake's smug expression narrowed a little and asked, "Zhan Chen, what are you laughing at?"
"Look, what is this?" Zhan Chen said as he took out the Holy Maiden's Order from the Qiankun bag and raised it above his head.
"This is the Holy Maiden's Order!" everyone shouted.
"Yes, this is exactly the token given to me by the Holy Maiden, I am the messenger she assigned, if you see the Holy Maiden's order, you will not kneel down!" Zhan Chen said loudly.
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, you really knelt down towards Zhan Chen, and shouted: "Meet the Holy Envoy!"
At this time, Zhan Chen looked at Pang Snake sitting on the main seat, and the latter's face became extremely ugly, but he also had to get up and kneel down and salute him.
Zhan Chen asked again: "Steward Pang, am I guilty?"
"You are not guilty, it is purely Xun Hu's own fault!" replied with gritted teeth.
So Zhan Chen survived this catastrophe safely, he returned to his house, calmed down, and couldn't help but take out the golden holy maiden order, and he was fascinated for a while, and Yin Meiru's beautiful face seemed to appear in front of him.
It took him a long time before he woke up, shook his head fiercely, and muttered, "Zhan Chen, what are you thinking about!"
