The next day, Lin Suya brought Zhan Chen and other eleven Yuanshen realm experts to the headquarters of the Linzhou City Defense Army, where they were received by Zong Xiang, the commander there. Zong Xiang was a high-level Yuanshen realm expert.
, he was very happy to see Lin Suya and others coming, and said with a smile: "Messengers of the Shangzong, we have finally waited for you!"
Lin Suya also smiled and said: "Commander Zong, we are not here to command you today, but to obey your command."
"Oh, how dare you do this." Zong Xiangjin waved his hand. In his eyes, the envoys of the Qinxiao Sect were equivalent to emperors.
"That's right. We are new here and don't know anything about the situation here, so we must temporarily join the city defense army so that we can better eradicate the soul hunters lurking in the city."
"Haha, then I feel sorry for you, Your Majesty."
"Commander Zong, I would like to ask you to divide us into two groups. One group will patrol inside the city, and the other group will patrol outside the city. I heard that the towns outside Linzhou City were also attacked by soul hunters."
Zong Xiang sighed and said: "Yes, all the people in this village have been killed by those damn soul hunters, but we can't spare more people in the city to protect those people."
"It's okay, I understand your difficulties, as long as you arrange a few guides for us who are familiar with the situation."
"Okay, that's no problem."
After that, Zong Xiang incorporated Zhan Chen and the other six people into the city defense army. At the request of Pu Suya herself, she and five other high-level practitioners were incorporated into the patrol team outside the city. Apparently, they met outside the city.
The situation will be more complicated when they arrive, but the two groups of people will be swapped the next day so that everyone can understand the situation in Linzhou City.
Zhan Chen followed the city defense army as he walked on the street and discovered a phenomenon. Linzhou City, a huge city, looked very depressed. Although the shops along the street were one after another, most of them had closed doors and hung signs of closure.
, and there were very few pedestrians on the street. Everyone was in a hurry, as if they were rushing to do something urgent. Only the city defense troops, in groups of ten, were still walking through the streets.
Zhan Chen had the cultivation level of Yuan Shen Realm, so he naturally became the captain of the ten-man team. He led the other nine city defense soldiers of the Immortal Yuan Realm to guard the city. While patrolling, he also asked a man named Wu Xiao behind him.
Six young soldiers asked questions, such as what is the name of this street, what delicious restaurants and hotels are there, etc.
Suddenly, he inadvertently saw a figure walking by and quickly turned into a narrow alley. Zhan Chen felt that he was a bit uncoordinated and his movements were a bit stiff, but if he didn't observe carefully,
, it is easy to be ignored.
Zhan Chen quickly turned his head and said to the people behind him: "Everyone, please pay attention, there is a situation over there."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the team immediately became tense. Wu Xiaoliu asked: "Captain, have you discovered the soul hunt?"
Zhan Chen could hear that his voice was trembling and his body was shaking a little, so he asked, "What's wrong? You seem to be afraid of soul hunting."
"Of course, those evil creatures all have the cultivation level of the Yuan Shen Realm. Many of us died in their hands. We all only have the cultivation level of the Immortal Yuan Realm, which is not enough."
Zhan Chen said: "Okay, you just wait here, I'll go back as soon as possible!"
Wu Xiaoliu said worriedly: "Captain, be careful!"
"It doesn't matter, I have my own sense of proportion." Zhan Chen strode towards the alley. The alley could only accommodate two or three people passing side by side, and it was dark with tall buildings on both sides.
After entering the alley, Zhan Chen quickened his pace and chased the suspicious figure in front of him. The figure in front also quickened his pace. In this way, the two of them arrived at the end of the alley one after another. At the end of the alley was a high wall.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the man turned around and faced Zhan Chen. At this moment, Zhan Chen saw his appearance clearly. He was a middle-aged man with a pickled beard.
, the expression is stiff and the eyes are dull, as if the entire face is frozen, which makes people shudder at first glance.
Zhan Chen felt even more suspicious and asked, "What's your name?"
The other party did not answer him, but summoned his Taoist weapon - a long sword, and attacked Zhan Chen.
Faced with his sudden attack, Zhan smiled coldly. He had already seen that the opponent's cultivation level should be at the high level of Yuanshen, but this sword was only used with pure power and contained no secrets. Therefore,
His attacks are only equivalent to the intermediate level of Yuanshen, and he can easily deal with them.
So, he no longer hesitated and summoned the Wandering Dragon Shock Sword, knocking the opponent's sword back in one fell swoop.
The middle-aged man staggered and managed to stabilize himself. Then a strange scene appeared. A red light flashed in his eyes, and he shot out two strange black illusory flames, rushing towards Zhan Chen.
Come on, incredibly fast.
This is a soul attack! Zhan Chen was shocked because the opponent's attack was almost instantaneous and almost instantaneous. Originally, even the soul attack Taoist spells had to run exercises, magic formulas, etc. This would at least give the opponent
It took a little time to prepare, but the attack from the middle-aged soul on the other side was so sudden.
The soul attack exceeds the limit that a monk can react. Although a strong man in the Yuanshen realm has cultivated the Yuanshen, he will still suffer great damage if he is directly attacked by a soul of the same level. At this critical moment, Zhan Chen shouted
: "Yuan Shen Blessing Shield!"
At the same time, a dazzling light suddenly emitted from his eyebrows. The light quickly expanded to form a small silver-white shield. This small shield was almost transparent, and its surface was covered with lines outlined by spiritual patterns.
mysterious pattern.
The two black flames rushed towards the small shield, but were firmly blocked by Qing and could not break through. After a stalemate for a while, they gradually extinguished, and the light on the Yuan Shen's shield also dimmed a bit.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and showed a smile. It was his first time to use this middle-level immortal-level soul defense technique, and its effect was simply beyond imagination.
The characteristic of the soul defense technique lies in its immediacy. It requires the formation of a shield-like guardian spirit array in the center of the divine palace in advance. Once this spiritual array is completed, it will permanently exist in the divine palace. Once encountering a battle,
You can summon it immediately to resist the opponent's soul attack. If you can't do this, the soul attacks the Taoist magic very quickly. If there is a slight delay, it will be too late.
However, after resisting the opponent's soul attack, a lot of energy in the Yuan Shen's protective shield was also consumed. Zhan Chen did not dare to hesitate and quickly seized the opportunity to control the Wandering Dragon Shock Sword and strike out towards the middle-aged man.
A flash of sword light flashed, and the man's head was in a different place. At this moment, a black soul slowly emerged from between his eyebrows, trying to escape.
A sharp light flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, he held the sword finger in his hand, raised it between his eyebrows, and issued a sword of consciousness, splitting the black soul into two halves, and the black soul that was divided into two halves finally turned into black energy and dissipated.
in the air.
Zhan Chen returned with the middle-aged body. When Wu Xiaoliu and others saw that he came out alive, they were all overjoyed and asked: "Captain Zhan, has the Soul Hunter been eliminated?"
Zhan Chen placed the middle-aged body in front of them and said: "This is it."
"Great!" Everyone couldn't help shouting.
However, at this moment, a harsh explosion sounded from a distance, which made Zhan Chen and others nervous, wondering what else had happened.
