Qinglan City, a second-level town in the Shenyun Empire, is more than a thousand miles away from Qingyang City.

In a quiet courtyard, there is a huge stone table, the four legs of the stone table are carved with exquisite totemic reliefs, on which are placed several plates of delicate pastries, a handsome face, elegant manners, a man in a white robe sits at the stone table, savoring the pastries in his mouth, looking at an old man next to him.

"Yun Lao, have you found any news on this trip?" The white-robed man said lightly with a warm face.

"Your Highness, Gongzi Zhou lost his trace after entering Qingyang City, but a few days ago, a strong man of the Lu family who built the foundation realm was killed in the Black Wind Ridge outside Qingyang City, it is said that the person who shot was a mysterious sword cultivator, and his subordinates felt that it was very likely to be Gongzi Zhou." Yun said with a little emotion.

"Are you sure it was Zhou Chen who beheaded a strong man of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Realm?" The white-robed man put down the pastry in his hand and looked at Yun Lao with a surprised face, this person was Pang Qingyan, the eighth prince of the Shenyun Empire.

"The subordinates don't dare to speculate, but the Lu family has been targeting the Zhou family, and there is no sword cultivation in Qingyang City, and this mysterious knife correction appeared after Zhou Gongzi returned to Qingyang City, so the subordinates judged that this person is very likely to be Zhou Gongzi."

"Your analysis is good, it should be him, I think that when the day was separated, Zhou Chen was only in the middle of the foundation realm, I didn't expect that in just a few days, Zhou Chen had grown to such a point, it was really amazing." A smile appeared on Pang Qingyan's face, and he shook his head with a sigh.

"Zhou Gongzi seems to have improved a lot in the Thundercloud Mountain Range, before he only injured Lan Xiong at the peak of the Foundation Building Realm, after coming out of the Thundercloud Mountain Range, it was like a changed person, and now he can directly kill the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Realm, this kind of improvement speed is really incredible."

Yun Lao's face was shocked, when he saw Zhou Chen returning from the Thundercloud Mountain Range that day, he had already felt Zhou Chen's changes, not his strange appearance, but the strong aura emanating from Zhou Chen's body.

"Let's go, let's go to Qingyang City too." Pang Qingyan smiled and waved his hand, and walked directly out of the courtyard.

……

At this time, Zhou Chen continued to sit in the teahouse, drinking tea while monitoring the movements of the Lu family, he was waiting for the next opportunity.

Suddenly, Zhou Chen found that a large number of Lu family powerhouses walked out of the gate one after another, and swept away directly in different directions.

Zhou Chen's expression froze, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, there were about fifty or sixty strong people who walked out of the gate of the Lu family, and the realm ranged from the nine layers of the innate realm to the consummation of the foundation building realm.

"Huh? What is the Lu family going to do? Although Zhou Chen was a little puzzled in his heart, he did not hesitate, and immediately disappeared in place, chasing in the direction of one of the lone foundation building realm consummation powerhouses.

……

In a forest outside Qingyang City, a figure fell, directly stopping in front of the Lu family's powerhouse of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Realm.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me here? ”

This strong man of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Realm had an extremely solemn face, his expression was a little stiff, and the black-robed man in front of him seemed to be very similar to the mysterious black-robed man in the rumor.

"Answer me a few questions and let you go." Zhou Chen, who was under the black robe, said lightly.

"Hmph, no comment." Although he may be facing a mysterious black-robed man who killed Lu Hai, this Lu family powerhouse seems to be very confident in his own strength and does not intend to be captured.

"Hopefully your bones will be harder than your mouth."

Zhou Chen stopped talking nonsense, the black flame in his hand instantly ignited, his body floated with a faint fluorescence, the seven-turn thunder dragon body was activated, and the nine-turn Xuanguang step ran under his feet, directly rushing towards the Lu family's powerhouse, using the sky-turning hand, slapping it with one palm, the powerful flesh impacted, and the sound of breaking the wind sounded.

The strong man of the Lu family had a solemn face, did not dare to slack off, condensed the true yuan in the palm of his hand, and attacked him.

There was a loud bang, and a scream sounded from the field, and the palm of the Lu family's strong man was directly severely deformed, the bones were twisted at a strange angle, and the wrist was twisted into a twist.

Zhou Chen didn't stop, relying on the strength of his physical body, he bullied himself with a punch again, for the powerhouse of the general foundation building realm, Zhou Chen can now crush him with the strength of his physical body.

Several punches were blasted out in a row, and the screams continued to sound, both hands of the Lu family powerhouse were broken, his chest was directly smashed and collapsed, and blood kept gushing from his mouth, Zhou Chen clasped his throat tightly with one hand, and said coldly: "Can you say it now?" ”

"Spare your life...... I said, ahem... The head of the family asked us to disperse to various cities to find the whereabouts of Zhou Chen of the Zhou family. ”

The strong man of the Lu family had no power to fight back in front of Zhou Chen, and his speed, strength, and body all directly crushed him, which made him completely lose the idea of resisting, and now he finally realized the horror of the rumored black-robed man, and his heart was suddenly terrified.

Zhou Chen had already guessed that the Lu family would find his whereabouts after knowing the method of cracking the formation, and Zhou Chen was not very surprised by this information.

"How many people have gone above the completion of the foundation realm?"

"There are a total of fifty people who went out, and there are five people who have completed the foundation realm."

"There is no foundation realm of great perfection?"

"The foundation building realm and the Great Perfection are all distributed in several important resource points of the Lu family."

"Resource points? Tell me the location, let you live, and if there is anything to hide, I will send you to accompany Lu Hai. ”

"The master spares his life... I'm just an offering to the Lu family, and I ask my subordinates to be merciful, what do you want to know, I said... All said. ”

This Lu family powerhouse is a senior worshipper of the Lu family, he can get in touch with some secret things, and he is also responsible for the transportation and protection of the Lu family's resources on weekdays, and he is also familiar with the resource points, anyway, he is not a member of the Lu family, so he told the resource points he knew.

"I have good news and bad news, which would you like to hear?" Zhou Chen looked at the Lu family's offering with a wicked smile.

The Lu family's face was stunned, he looked at Zhou Chen suspiciously, and said lightly, "Okay...... Good news. ”

Zhou Chen directly ripped off the black robe, revealing a harmless smile, and grinned: "Congratulations, I am the Zhou Chen you are looking for." ”

The Lu family's strong pupils shrank, looked at Zhou Chen in a daze, and wanted to point his finger at Zhou Chen, but found that both hands were useless, and said blankly: "You ......"

Zhou Chen's fingers snapped hard, and with a click, the neck bone of the strong man of the Lu family was directly pinched off by Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen was not so pedantic, and he believed in what he said to his enemies, which was a stupid act.

The Lu family's worship eyes slowly lost their lustre, and there was still an unbelievable look on his face, he was shocked at first by the fact that the black-robed man was Zhou Chen, and when Zhou Chen pinched his neck bone, he scolded Zhou Chen in his heart for going back on his word.

Zhou Chen took off his ring and said coldly: "The bad news is that you are really lucky, and you met me as soon as you went out." ”

Zhou Chen had already memorized the direction taken by those powerhouses with relatively high realms, his goal was to kill the Lu family's monks who had completed the foundation realm and weaken the strength of the Lu family, and the rest was not to worry about, and he also planned to force Lu Yuncheng to have a showdown with the Zhou family.

Zhou Chen exerted the Nine Turns Xuanguang Step to the extreme, and in less than two pillars of incense, using the concealment function of the black robe, Zhou Chen killed several other powerhouses of the Lu family's foundation building realm in this operation, and also slaughtered five congenital realm ninefold ones along the way.

"This strength is not enough, we have to add firewood."

Zhou Chen thought about it for a while, as far as he knew, in addition to the dead Lu Hai, the Lu family also had five powerhouses of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Realm, and Zhou Chen had to weaken the strength of the Lu family as much as possible before the Lu family and the Zhou family completely tore their faces.

……

A mountain range in the north of Qingyang City, there is a hidden canyon here, covered by countless dense giant trees, ordinary people can't find it at all, according to the Lu family's confession, the Lu family found a huge reserve of spirit stone vein mine in this canyon, containing rich spirit stone mine, and this spirit stone vein mine is the real reason for the sudden rise of the Lu family in recent years.

Zhou Chen hid in the canyon, stood on a giant tree, and explored the surroundings, the Lu family opened up an open field in the canyon, there was a cave near the cliff, guarded by many Lu family guards, and a fourth-level large array shrouded the entrance of the cave, Zhou Chen judged that this cave entrance was the mine of this spirit stone mine.

"Teacher, can you detect how many troops are deployed around here?" Although Zhou Chen's divine sense is very strong, the scope here is very large, and the divine sense is blocked by the formation, so it is difficult to directly enter the mine.

"There are about twenty-five Innate Realms, eight Foundation Building Realms, and one Foundation Building Realm Great Perfection."

After all, Lie Tianzun was a Venerable before his death, and his strength was strong, although now there was only the Yuan Shen left, but his divine sense was still very strong, and these fourth-level large arrays had no effect on him at all.

Zhou Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, the Lu family really attached great importance to this resource point, and even arranged so many strong people to be stationed, and immediately called Xiao Hei out, now Xiao Hei can suppress the strong people who are consummating the foundation realm, and his physical body is extremely strong, as long as the great consummation of the foundation building realm does not make a move, Xiao Hei will not be in danger, even if he can't beat it, no one can stop him if he wants to run.

Zhou Chen whispered a few words in Xiao Hei's ear, Xiao Hei ran directly towards the valley, and Zhou Chen also pulled down the brim of his hat and swept towards the mine.

Roar!

Xiao Hei rushed into the canyon and roared angrily at everyone in the Lu family, and the huge sound wave made everyone's hearts tremble.

"What happened?"

"Where did this monster come from?"

"Hurry up and report to the elders!"

"It's just a fourth-order demon beast, and it dares to provoke us, come and slaughter it for me."

……

Xiao Hei rushed towards everyone, his huge body was directly crushed, those guards of the Nine Layers of the Innate Realm were not Xiao Hei's enemies at all, they were constantly being slapped away like swatting flies, and the screams sounded continuously, and everyone in the Lu family couldn't imagine that this fourth-order demon beast was so powerful, and they retreated in fright.

Several foundation building realm powerhouses were swept out of the mine, and among them, there was a foundation building realm powerhouse, and everyone directly surrounded Xiao Hei and trapped him in the center.

Zhou Chen is not worried about Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei's body is extremely strong, even if he faces so many people, he will not suffer for a while.

At this time, the powerhouses in the cave had basically run out, and Zhou Chen's target was the Lu family elder who had built the foundation realm.

The magic circle outside the mine has been destroyed by Zhou Chen, and now the magic circle below the fifth level has no effect on him, and the magic circle can only really activate its power under the control of the array mage, if it is just to give the magic circle energy to run autonomously, it is just a dead magic circle, and it can't play a particularly big role, unless the array eye material or spell casting material is very special, and this magic circle is just to add some spirit stones regularly on weekdays, and maintain the operation of the formation through the spirit stones, this kind of formation can only block some monks who don't understand the formation or are weak, couldn't stop Zhou Chen at all.

Zhou Chen entered the mine, turned on the stealth, and galloped all the way, this mine was opened up very large, there was a space of hundreds of zhang in length and width, and he saw many busy miners along the way, Zhou Chen needed to find the position of the elder of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Realm within fifteen breaths, his stealth could only be maintained for so long, otherwise he would expose himself.

"It's in that stone room." Lie Tianzun said lightly, this kind of small scene really couldn't arouse his interest.

Bang!

Zhou Chen didn't hesitate, he kicked directly on the iron gate, and directly kicked the iron door in.

"Bold, who is so presumptuous?" An angry voice came from the stone room, this stone room was a resting place for the elders, and no one dared to kick the door on weekdays.

Zhou Chen's feet kicked the iron door and froze in the air, and he stepped in one step and appeared directly in the stone room, this stone room had no windows, only the only exit where Zhou Chen was, and now it was blocked by Zhou Chen.

"Who are you?" The elder looked at the black-robed man in front of him in disbelief.

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand, shook the black robe on his body, and said, "Can't you see it?" So eyeless? ”

"Are you the black-robed man who killed Lu Hai?" The elder's pupils shrank, and he said in horror, immediately realizing the identity of this black-robed man.

"Congratulations, you guessed it, the reward is to send you to be with Lu Hai." Zhou Chen grinned and said.

"Extremely arrogant, the old man is Lu Yunling, the third elder of the Lu family, and it has been many years since he stepped into the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Realm, how can he be compared to Lu Hai's juniors, do you think that if you kill Lu Hai, no one will be able to cure you? Since you were stupid to come to this mine to die, stay here today. ”

Lu Yunling was very confident in his strength, and in the Lu family, his strength was second only to Lu Yuncheng and Lu Yunnan, the two Cave Heaven Realm powerhouses.

"I haven't made a breakthrough for so many years, I'm embarrassed to say it, and I'm not too embarrassed to panic, I think you are more wasteful than Lu Hai." Zhou Chen shook his head and said in a mocking tone.

Lu Yunling's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, he was annoyed and angry, and killed Zhou Chen directly, obviously after being exposed by Zhou Chen, he was furious.

Zhou Chen didn't say much anymore, and a black knife appeared in his hand directly, igniting a raging black flame, and the majestic sword intent rose to the sky, slashing directly towards Lu Yunling, he didn't want to talk nonsense with Lu Yunling, after all, Xiao Hei was still dragging outside, and after a long time, he was afraid that something would happen.

Xiao Hei was facing the siege of eight foundation building realm powerhouses at this time, he was a little struggling, he had been hit in several places on his body, and there were some wounds on his back, but these were not a big deal for Xiao Hei, as long as he stared at the strong man who had completed the foundation building realm, he would not have fatal injuries, and the strength of others could not really bring him a real threat.

Bang!

There was a huge explosion in the mine, and countless debris flew out of the mine, rolling up bursts of dust and smoke, which made everyone in the canyon startled, quickly stopped, and looked towards the mine in horror.

"Help, it's going to collapse!"

I saw hundreds of panicked miners running out of the mine, everyone didn't know what was going on, and when they heard the explosion, they ran out desperately, for fear that the mine would collapse, after all, the mine cave collapse incident is not once or twice.

Everyone looked at the mine cave that kept coming out of the billowing dust and smoke, their expressions were very solemn, they were still fighting outside just now, how could it be so coincidental that a landslide occurred at this time, and there was a Zhuji mixed with the Great Perfection Offering inside that had not yet come out, and they felt that things were a little strange.

The mine slowly became quiet, no rolling stones fell again, a vague black shadow appeared at the entrance of the mine, holding a knife, dragging it on the ground, the metal rubbed against the stone to make a sharp sound, and accompanied by the flash of sparks, slowly walking towards everyone.

The dust and smoke dissipated, the blurred black shadow gradually became clear, this person's whole body was shrouded in black robes, under the brim of his hat was like a deep black hole, dragging a black blade in his right hand, dragging an old man's corpse in his left hand, standing at the entrance of the cave, like a god of death from hell.

"Third Elder..."Everyone in the Lu family was shocked, looking at Lu Yunling's corpse in disbelief, the strong man of the Lu family's foundation building realm was killed again.

"He... He's the black-robed mystery man! ”

I don't know who said it tremblingly, everyone in the field suddenly shook their hearts, and there was a lot of chaos, this black-robed man had already beheaded the two people of the Lu family who had built the foundation realm in a row, and no one present could stop him, everyone did not hesitate, and immediately turned around and ran.

"All those who build the foundation realm are killed." Zhou Chen said to Xiao Hei in a low voice.

One person and one beast, the speed is extremely fast, the speed of the demon beast itself is fast, and Zhou Chen has nine turns of Xuanguang step, everyone in the Lu family has no chance to run at all, less than half a cup of tea, Zhou Chen and Xiao Hei will be present All the foundation building realm powerhouses of the Lu family are killed, and the swerf blade is like the incarnation of the scythe of death harvesting life, constantly trembling, making a terrifying sharp sound.

Those Zhou Chen of the Innate Realm didn't pay attention to it, it was too much of a waste of time, he still had to go to the next resource point, as for this spirit stone mine, Zhou Chen didn't destroy it, and planned to leave it to the Zhou family to mine in the future.

"Let's go, continue to rob."

Zhou Chen cleaned up the battlefield, threw down a token of the Zhou family, sat Xiao Hei and left the canyon directly, and ran towards the next resource point of the Lu family, Zhou Chen left that token, which was deliberately to give the Lu family a reason to do it, everything Zhou Chen did was to speed up the Lu family's move, he really didn't want to drag things down.

…
