Fantasy: I can equip everything

Has the demonic tide not yet subsided?

Chen Chuang frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss.

Didn't Xiao Qianzhong already go and resolve this matter yesterday?

Based on the strength the opponent displayed when they left, they probably could have wiped out the so-called demon tide all by themselves.

Could it be that Xiao Qianzhong pulled a lump of earth?

Is the leader of the demon tide stronger than Xiao Qianzhong?

While he was pondering, Li Zhiyuan had already arranged the patrol locations for all the experts present.

Finally, he looked at Chen Chuang, pondered for a moment, and said, "Chuang, you should go with Master Zhou to Niujia Village in the south."

In his view, this was the safest arrangement.

Zhou Shouzhen's strength stands at the pinnacle of Qinghe County.

The only one stronger than him is Instructor Wu.

But that martial arts instructor is a fighting maniac.

If they encounter a monster that catches their eye, they might rush out without thinking, without being able to protect the safety of those around them.

Chen Chuang stood up, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Thank you for your care, Lord Li. However, as a martial artist, it is my duty to slay demons and monsters. Please allow me to go to the village in the north."

After these words were spoken, the expressions of the people present changed in various ways.

Is slaying demons and eliminating evil the duty of a martial artist?

In all their years, this was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.

Those who knew Chen Chuang's identity were not surprised at all.

Li Zhiyuan paused for a moment, pondered for a while, and then did not try to dissuade him further.

Also.

For the people of the Demon Slayer Bureau, demons have never been a danger.

Rather, it is merit.

"Alright then, I'll assign you to Black Forest Village in the north."

"Thank you very much, Lord Li!"

With everything settled, the group immediately set off.

An hour later, Chen Chuang rode his horse, a hint of helplessness on his face.

Li Yurou, who was standing next to him, stared at him the whole time, almost leaning her head close to his face.

"Hey, how did you become an undercover agent?"

No one else dared to reveal Chen Chuang's background directly.

But Li Yurou didn't care at all.

After all, strictly speaking, they are family.

Li Yurou was only eighteen years old when she reached the level of external strength cultivation, which would be considered a minor genius even in the prefecture.

Even so, it took a lot of effort and many difficult tests to finally join the Demon Slayer Division.

But Chen Chuang, who looked not much older than her, had entered the Secret Investigation Division.

Although the Secret Inspector of the Secret Investigation Division was only one rank higher than her, the two were completely different things.

The daily duties of the Demon Slayers are to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors and slay the demons that are causing trouble in the area.

There are certain assessment standards every year, and a sufficient number of monsters must be killed.

But the secret investigators are different.

They have freedom of identity, yet wield immense power.

Li Yurou, as a captain in the Demon Slayer Division, could command respect and influence in a place like Qinghe County.

But once they got to the prefectural capital, they had to keep a low profile.

Even the lowest-ranking undercover inspector could investigate the governor's illegal activities and report them upwards.

Their martial arts talent and strength are worlds apart.

Among the captains of the Demon Slayer Division in Li Yurou's batch, there was a prodigy from a prominent family in a prefecture.

At the same age, he was already at the peak of external strength, just one step away from breaking through to internal strength.

Yet, it is said that even this prodigy failed to pass the first test of the secret inspector.

I've heard that there are countless experts among those secret inspectors, some of whom are even more powerful than the commander of a state's demon-slaying division.

Therefore, she was very curious about how Chen Chuang, at his age, had passed the assessment.

He was only at the Body Tempering Realm when he fought me not long ago.

Is the footwork she used during the fight a unique technique of the Dark Investigation Division?

Turning to look at Li Yurou, whose head was full of question marks, Chen Chuang sighed helplessly and said, "It was by chance that she was threatened and dragged in."

Li Yurou pouted, her face full of disbelief.

Chen Chuang wasn't going to linger with her any longer. He turned to the old man beside him and asked, "Senior Li Bao, how much further do we have?"

Li Zhiyuan heeded Chen Chuang's suggestion and did not send him to the safe area in the south, nor did he arrange for Zhou Shouzheng to be his bodyguard.

However, he sent out his old steward Li Bao, whom he had brought from the capital.

"Hehe, almost there, we'll be there in about fifteen minutes."

Li Bao smiled very reservedly, looking like an honest, simple farmer.

But when Chen Chuang looked at the old man, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he clicked his tongue in amazement.

【Li Bao】

[Qi and Blood: 150/150]

[Cultivation Level: Late Stage of Inner Strength]

Power: 97

[Defense: 45]

[Internal interest: 3/3]

[Agility: 21]

【Charm: 5】

Another martial artist at the late stage of internal energy cultivation.

After Chen Chuang returned, he also used the Blood Enchantment Pearl to check the attribute values ​​of some martial artists.

The highest-ranking one was undoubtedly the advisor, Zhou Shouzhen.

Other internal energy martial artists, even those at the late stage of internal energy like Sun Xiaodao and Zhao Qianhe, were not as good as Wang Xingzhou in terms of overall attributes.

Very few have a power value exceeding 100.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

Wang Xingzhou comes from a prestigious family, and the martial arts he cultivates are certainly not comparable to those of the martial artists in Qinghe County.

With profound background and combat strength surpassing that of martial artists of the same level, it is normal.

Li Bao, the old steward of the county magistrate's household, also ranks among the top in terms of attribute values ​​among martial artists in the late stage of internal strength.

Chen Chuang couldn't help but sigh.

Li Zhiyuan ultimately did not completely let him go out and make his own way in the world.

With this person by my side, if we really encounter a monster, I must act quickly.

Otherwise, you might not be able to get any kills.

The monster wasn't killed by my own hands, and I don't know anything about the system...

puff!

A muffled thud interrupted Chen Chuang's thoughts.

His expression changed, and the Xuanwu Armor instantly enveloped his body.

The next moment, an attack that seemed to come from nowhere struck him, sending him flying backward off his horse.

The chest of the Xuanwu Armor was dented, but fortunately it blocked the attack.

As Chen Chuang flew backward, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared on Li Yurou's body on his left, blocking the fatal blow.

The one at the very front, Li Bao, was a powerful internal energy martial artist.

His head was gone, leaving only his body on the horse's back.

Blood spurted more than ten feet high.
