From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 160 The strength surges
Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction and made a rough estimate in his mind.

This kind of power, if I encounter Zhu Guanyu again,
He did not need to attack at close range. With this medium to long-range method, he was able to destroy his red divine jade.

However, Zhu Guanyu's "Divine Jade Method" should be of higher quality than this "Blood Evil Method"...

Zhu Guanyu is the eldest son of the Zhu family. Logically speaking, the secret method he practices should be of higher quality than that practiced by Jin De.

Why, from my own experience, Zhu Guanyu's "Divine Jade Method" is not as good as my current "Blood Evil Method"...

Jiang Chen thought about it and understood.

I'm afraid Zhu Guanyu's "Divine Jade Method" has not been fully practiced yet and is still some distance away from perfection.

However, he had already practiced "Blood Evil Method Volume One" to perfection.

"I can collect more secret methods like this to practice in the future..."

This "secret method" is efficient in gaining experience and takes a short time to practice.

It doesn't take too long to significantly increase your strength, so it is indeed very practical.

"Dong dong dong..."

A crisp knock on the door sounded.

Jiang Chen opened the gate to the courtyard and Qi Zhao was standing outside.

Qi Zhao cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Sir, the matter has been arranged. There are brothers patrolling the Yunjiang Ferry every day, and the Yunjiangfang has also begun to investigate."

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded.

The Cao Gang can now bring in one to two taels of demon stone income every day. If they want to keep it going, they must maintain stability in Yunjiangfang.

Other unstable factors hidden in the town must be eradicated one by one.

Moreover, he destroyed the Cao Gang and previously killed a genius from an aristocratic family in the Dou Kui competition.

Even with Zhuo Jin's help in keeping an eye on him, there was no guarantee that no master from an aristocratic family would attack him.

Taking control of the entire Yunjiangfang as soon as possible can also prevent this incident from happening to a certain extent.

Jiang Chen nodded: "What's the situation?"

Qi Zhao hesitated for a moment: "We found some villains, but in addition, there seemed to be traces of human demons..."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned: "Human demon?"

He still remembered that when he went to the main city, Feng Yanghua had told him that there were demons sneaking into the main city, so the city was on high alert...

Qi Zhao nodded and said, "A brother found dried human flesh in a room, as well as some other pickled body parts... They should have been left by the demon."

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, with a hint of murderous intent in them.

The devil is hiding in Yunjiangfang and using the local people as food?
"Have you found any trace?"

Qi Zhao shook his head: "Not yet. When we found this house, the demon inside had already left. I guess they left after hearing that we were going to investigate Yunjiangfang thoroughly..."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Keep investigating. If you encounter someone you can't handle, come and report to me first."

Qi Zhao bowed to Jiang Chen and said, "Yes."

Then left.

"Human Demon..."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

When I first came to Longxiang County City, I still remember the words of the blue demon.

Right now, the city of Longxiang County is experiencing open and covert fighting internally, and the Demon Abyss outside is eyeing it covetously. The demons may take advantage of the Longxiang Sect's weakness and attack at any time.

And the matter about the red ghost on the ground mentioned by the blue demon, I don't know if it's true or not...

Once the building collapses, a mere lieutenant of the Acropolis will be unable to control his own destiny.

Strength...the strength is still insufficient.

If one could become a martial arts master above the ninth level,
Smashing the Demonic Abyss with one slap on the left, and smashing the Aristocratic Family with one slap on the right, that is what it means to live comfortably...

Jiang Chen fantasized excitedly for a moment.

Finally, he pulled himself out of his fantasy, returned to the courtyard obediently, and began to practice "Chixiao Jin".

Now that he has enough demon essence stones, plus the Dragon Elephant Sect gives its disciples a certain amount of precious medicine salary every month, it is enough to support him to quickly increase the experience value of [Transformation Strength].

……

Time passes quickly.

Nearly a month and a half later.

Somewhat to Jiang Chen's surprise, Yunjiangfang had been almost entirely peaceful for the past month and a half.

Apart from clearing out a group of villains hiding in Yunjiangfang, almost no accidents occurred.

The aristocratic families that originally controlled the Cao Gang seemed like a stagnant pool of water, and had no intention of taking back the Cao Gang.

The only regret is that no trace of the demon or the Zhu family’s smuggling ship has been found.

……

In the courtyard.

The air is clear.

The translucent panel slowly unfolded in front of Jiang Chen.

【Hua Jin: Getting Started (991/1000)】

After one and a half months of practice, he used a large amount of demon essence stones and the precious medicine "Essence Pill" obtained from the Dragon Elephant Sect to assist in the practice of Hua Jin.

Jiang Chen finally mastered the [Transformation] and reached the 1,000th level.

Once the Hua Jin breakthrough to a small level, the Qi, blood, essence and energy will be condensed into "Hua Jin", and one will not only be able to comprehend the great art of Hua Jin.

Moreover, the power of "Blood Evil Method·Volume 1" which is performed by combining "qi and blood" and "essence" can also be greatly enhanced.

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, stuffed one or two demon stones into his mouth, and directly crushed them with his teeth and swallowed them into his stomach.

He poured out another Essence Pill, held it in his mouth, and swallowed it mixed with saliva.

The strong medicinal properties and the huge energy and blood power of the Demon Yuan Stone spread together.

"Huh..." Jiang Chen started practicing the "Chixiao Jin" method.

[Hua Jin Experience +1]

……

Half an hour later.

Within the body, wisps of essence were refined from the qi and blood, like ethereal smoke, penetrating into the middle dantian and then flowing out.

There are three dantians in the human body.

Qigong practitioners use the lower dantian as their foundation, while warriors use the middle dantian to harmonize essence, qi, and blood.

As for the upper dantian, also known as the "sea of ​​consciousness", it is the place where the mysterious "spiritual will" of the human body is located, which is difficult for ordinary warriors to understand.

The Chixiao essence rolled in his body, and as his experience points increased, Jiang Chen could feel every characteristic of the Chixiao essence very subtly.

Heavy, sharp, hot...

Inspiration and experience blended together, and the outline of a great technique of transforming energy emerged in his mind.

next moment.

The Chixiao essence rose from the surface of Jiang Chen's skin, and in the mist, it transformed into red scales and penetrated into his skin.

The strength of his whole body increased rapidly, 50%, 80%, then twice... as if he had turned into a humanoid dragon!
The great art of transforming energy: Scarlet Sky Heavy Scales!

……

Jiang Chen opened his eyes.

On the panel, the line [化劲] has been successfully transformed into new text.

【Hua Jin: Minor Success (1/1000)】

He put one hand on the ground and tried to get up.

The hard stone floor was crushed by him on the spot, and the sudden huge force made it difficult for Jiang Chen to control his body.

A hot, oppressive and terrifying aura emanated from him.

His entire body is covered with red scales transformed from essence.

The end of each scale was like an extremely sharp blade, which easily cut his clothes into pieces.

"This……"

Jiang Chen lowered his head and looked at the thick scales on his body.

Under the light from outside the window, a bright stream of light like lava is refracted.

Thick and hard, as sharp as a blade...it even greatly increases the strength of the body...

If others didn't look carefully, they might even think that he had turned into a terrifying demon.

"It seems that I am very lucky this time... I have comprehended a great and extraordinary technique..."

Jiang Chen stretched out his right hand, and clenched his long and powerful fingers slightly, as if he could burst the air in his palm!

Every move he made was like a walking dragon.

tread!
Jiang Chen took a step forward, intending to go to the mirror on the east side of the bedroom to see the overall changes in his body after he used the "Red Sky Heavy Scales".

As a result, when he took this step, his foot sank into the ground with a loud bang, and spider-web-like cracks spread out three feet away.

Jiang Chen looked at the cracks in the floor that almost tore the entire bedroom apart, and suddenly felt helpless.

"It seems that it will take some time to adapt to this body covered with red sky scales."

He shook his head, and then an idea occurred to him.

The heavy red sky scales on his body slowly transformed into red sky essence and flowed back into his dantian.

……

Three more days passed.

After three days of deliberate practice, Jiang Chen gradually adapted to the changes brought about by "Red Sky Heavy Scales".

However, he still needed to be cautious in every move, and it was even difficult to judge how strong he was.

With his current strength, any attempt would cause devastating damage to the surrounding environment.

……

evening.

After a day of practice, Jiang Chen dealt with the affairs of the City Guard Bureau.

In fact, he didn't need to do anything, as his officers had already sorted out the files.

He only needs to spend half a quarter of an hour to look through it and stamp it.

After that, he left the City Guard Department, walked two miles, and came to a street restaurant to eat.

The scallion noodles here are delicious, and Jiang Chen would occasionally come here to eat something.

I have been immersed in spiritual practice today and have not had a drop of water since early morning. I have not eaten for the whole day. Now it is a good opportunity for me to come here and have a bowl of noodles.

Sit down and wait for a moment.

The shopkeeper brought over the steaming hot scallion noodles with a respectful look on his face. The edge of the soup was stained with pepper, and the top of the bowl was almost filled with tender beef.

"Sir, please use it slowly."

Jiang Chen's throat rolled slightly, he took out a pair of chopsticks, tapped the table, picked up a bunch of noodles, and was about to put it into his mouth.

stomping on...

The sound of hurried footsteps came from a distant street corner.

Two captains dressed in black came hurriedly, their faces tense: "Lord City Captain, demons have appeared in the north of the city, and they are killing the people!"

Jiang Chen: "..."

His stomach was empty at the moment, and he looked at the untouched noodles in front of him with some helplessness.

Then he stood up and said calmly:
"Lead the way."
