From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 148: First Place in the Fight
The forest is dark.

The strong smell of blood filled the forest and spread in all directions.

Zhu Guanyu's throat was pierced by the tip of the gun, and his left hand, which was stretched toward his arms, suddenly froze in place.

Jiang Chen pulled out the tip of his gun.

"……boom!"

The tall corpse fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Then Jiang Chen stabbed him several more times in the heart and head.

After stabbing him till he turned into a blood gourd and there was no possibility of survival, he slowly withdrew his hands.

This red divine jade method is indeed somewhat mysterious.
If only the throat was pierced, there might be a chance of survival.

Jiang Chen raised his spear and noticed that Zhu Guanyu stretched out his left hand into his arms. He then squatted down and pulled his left hand out.

I saw that in his left hand, he was holding a piece of demon stone.

"Huh? This is..."

Jiang Chen picked up the demon essence stone in his hand and took a look at it.

It is about the size of a quail egg and dark red all over. Compared with the ordinary five-patterned and six-patterned demon stones, its color is deeper and its size is larger.

"Such a large demon stone... seven lines, or eight lines?"

The demon essence stones that Jiang Chen had obtained before were all in bits and pieces, weighing only a few coins at most.

And this piece should weigh three or two taels.

I'm afraid it was dug out from the forehead of some demon with seven or eight lines.

Jiang Chen held this thing in his palm and could feel an extremely powerful force from this demon stone.

If it were released, it would probably flatten the area within a radius of several feet.

Zhu Guanyu probably wanted to use this demon stone to kill him, but before he could use it, he was killed by Jiang Chen's gun.

"Not bad, good stuff."

Jiang Chen would never use such a good thing as a "grenade" after he had eaten his fill.

Of course, it serves as a resource to assist one's own practice.

Others were unable to fully absorb the energy and blood from the Demon Yuan Stone, but that was not the case for him.

……

Afterwards, Jiang Chen continued to loot Zhu Guanyu's body and Lu Dongsheng's body.

There are a total of twelve White Phoenix Spider Grass on Zhu Guanyu's body.

But Lu Dongsheng only had six strains.

In addition to this, there are some miscellaneous healing pills brought here to prevent injuries in this demonic abyss.

And that big black gun of Lu Dongsheng.

The spear weighing ten thousand pounds was deeply sunk into the ground. Jiang Chen took it out and found two small words at the end of the spear.

Black gold.

This spear is a top-grade weapon, much better in quality than his own fire spear.

Moreover, the Fire Spear had already shown some damage and scratches due to his frequent use.

This spear seemed to have been carefully maintained. After many years, it was still as smooth as new and in perfect condition.

This gun can be used to replace the Fire Spear...

After searching the three corpses on the ground, Jiang Chen spent some time to attract several demons from the Demon Abyss, which ate the corpses of the three people on the ground.

It was already noon.

Jiang Chen ate a "food pill" and continued to search for the trace of the White Phoenix Spider Yuan Grass.

Now with the White Phoenix Spider Yuan Grass from these three people, the number of White Phoenix Spider Yuan Grass on his body has exceeded thirty.

He has basically secured the first place in the Jinpengwei City Doukuai.

The only trouble is,

Everyone would know that such a large amount of White Phoenix Spider Yuan Grass must have been obtained from the missing Zhu Guanyu and the other two.

I hope that my current supporter, Feng Yanghua, can protect me.

Otherwise, even if he joined the Dragon Elephant Sect, he would probably have to seek other ways out.

……

Two more days passed.

He has almost walked through the Demonic Abyss area in front of Jinpengwei City.

At present, there are more than forty White Phoenix Spider Grass on his body.

The five-day period has expired and the herb-collecting in the Demon Abyss is finished.

Jiang Chen turned and walked towards the border of the Demon Abyss. After walking for about an hour, he arrived at the border military camp.

At this time, the blue-clothed attendants were already in front of the military tents, waiting for the return of the candidates for the championship.

Seeing Jiang Chen, the blue-clothed attendant smiled and nodded, and was about to speak.

Sudden.

"boom!"

A deafening sound exploded in the depths of the Demon Abyss, almost spreading throughout the area within a thousand miles, and echoed in the air for a long time.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look towards the depths of the Demonic Abyss.

Behind the rolling black mountains of the Demon Abyss, buried in endless fog, a ferocious beast was fighting shoulder to shoulder with the mountains.

"This……"

The green-clothed attendant explained, "It's a strong man from my Dragon Elephant Sect, fighting the demons in the Demon Abyss. This kind of thing happens every once in a while, so there's no need to worry."

Jiang Chen nodded silently, looking at the demon that blocked out the sky and the sun in the depths of the Demonic Abyss: "I'm afraid this demon has already stepped into the Nine Lines, right?"

The green-clothed attendant nodded, "Yes, it corresponds to the level above the Transcendental Realm. This level is considered to be completely out of the mundane world, and every move can affect the world."

As he spoke, he praised again: "However, Master Jiang has such a strong cultivation strength at such a young age. He will definitely be able to reach this level in the future."

Jiang Chen cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you for your good words."

The attendant in green clothes said again: "Then please follow me in. My master is waiting for you."

"it is good."

Afterwards, the two of them entered the military camp together and came to another tall military tent.

Lift the door curtain and enter.

The candlesticks on both sides reflected the firelight, and Feng Yanghua sat behind the table in the middle of the military tent, sitting cross-legged on a cushion to practice. Hearing the movement outside the door, he opened his eyes and smiled, "You're back early."

Although it is now the fifth day, there is still more than half a day left before the deadline. Most of the candidates for the Doukui exam want to search for one or two more White Phoenix Spider Yuan Grass while there is still half a day.

There is indeed no one who comes back early in the morning like Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen cupped his hands and said, "Sir."

Feng Yanghua waved his hand: "Just call me Senior Brother from now on."

"Yes, Brother Feng."

"Ah."

Feng Yanghua nodded slightly, and then said: "Take out the herbs, let me see how many you have picked."

Jiang Chen nodded, then took out a cloth bag from behind him and handed it over.

Feng Yanghua took the cloth bag, glanced inside, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"so much?"

There are probably forty or fifty White Phoenix Spider Grasses in this cloth bag!
You know, in previous years, the candidates who searched for and collected herbs usually only collected about ten plants, or at most twenty plants.

Under normal circumstances, it is extremely rare for a candidate to be able to dig out forty or fifty plants!
Jiang Chen said: "Forty-five in total."

One part naturally came from Zhu Guanyu and the other two, while the other part was due to the fact that "Breath Concealment" and "Theft" both played a role, giving him a greater chance of success and obtaining the White Phoenix Spider Yuan Grass.

Feng Yanghua thought for a moment and asked, "Zhu Guanyu?"

Jiang Chen nodded, and did not hide it: "He wanted to kill me, but I killed him, as well as Zhao Quan from the Zhao family, and Lu Dongsheng from the Lu family."

Feng Yanghua was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

"Kill all three?"

"Yeah." Jiang Chen said calmly.

“……” Feng Yanghua was silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen asked, "Is this matter troublesome?"

Feng Yanghua shook his head and said, "It's okay. Without evidence, they won't dare to attack you as long as I'm here."

"But the fact that you were able to kill the three of them was indeed beyond my expectations."

"I will have my servant take you back first. Tomorrow, you will follow me to the main city to register and become a disciple of the Dragon Elephant Sect."

"Yes." Jiang Chen bowed, then turned and left.

……

Afterwards, the blue-clothed attendant outside the door led Jiang Chen into a carriage, left the military camp, and returned to Qiao Shan's mansion.

"came back?"

Qiao Shan and Qian Wenye came forward warmly.

Qiao Shan naturally hoped that his junior fellow disciple could pass and take care of each other.

Qian Wenye also hoped that Jiang Chen could pass the Dragon Elephant Sect's Doukui title so that the Dragon Elephant Sect could give more rewards to the Dragon Tiger Sect.

Jiang Chen nodded: "The results haven't come out yet, but I should have passed."

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Afterwards, each of the candidates for the championship came back, registered their scores with Feng Yanghua, and then left.

As Feng Yanghua expected, none of the other candidates could count more than twenty-five plants.

Jiang Chen is naturally the first.

However, it was not until the sun set on the fifth day that the last ray of light in the west disappeared into the distant mountains.

Zhu Guanyu, Zhao Quan and Lu Dongsheng are still nowhere to be seen.

Among the more than one hundred candidates, there were others who were missing, but those who were missing were all candidates with weaker abilities.

These three people are considered to be the strongest candidates in the entire competition.

It's strange that none of these three people came back...

……

The Zhu family's residence.

In the study, the atmosphere was a little cold.

"Zhu Guanyu hasn't come back yet?"

Zhu Heng raised his head, frowned slightly, and looked at the middle-aged manager at the table.

A bead of sweat oozed from the middle-aged manager's forehead.

"...Yes, not only Master Guanyu, but also Zhao Quan from the Zhao family and Lu Dongsheng from the Lu family. None of them came back."

Zhu Heng nodded: "They were all close to Guan Yu. They should have gone together to kill the warriors from Baicheng, and then they were all killed by him."

Zhu Heng calmly expressed his guess.

The middle-aged manager swallowed his saliva.

Not to mention Zhu Heng, even he guessed the truth of the matter.

He asked quietly: "Then what should we do next? Kill Jiang Chen?"

Zhu Heng looked at him and asked, "How do you kill him? Do you think Feng Yanghua is a fool? How could he be defenseless?"

"Maybe as soon as I kill someone, he will dare to bring people to destroy my Zhu family."

The middle-aged manager was stunned for a moment: "Then..."

Zhu Heng said calmly: "Guan Yu's skills are not as good as others, so it is only right that he should die."

"It's not worth killing this guy now. Wait, there's a long way to go."

The middle-aged steward cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Then he retreated respectfully.

……

Night falls.

Feng Ruxin also returned to Qiaoshan Mansion. She collected a total of fifteen White Phoenix Spider Grass.

This number should be enough to pass the Doukui, but it is obviously impossible to enter the top ten.

Feng Ruxin was naturally aware of this, and her goal was only to be in the top 30.
