I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 212: Supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny, and martial arts cannot defeat gunpowder
Following Zhang Xiaohua's order, countless soldiers surged towards the platform.

Seeing that the soldiers from the Pingbian Palace were about to attack, Xie Lingyun shouted, "Stop it! This man is a wanted criminal from our Inspection Department. The Pingbian Palace has no right to take him back."

She wanted to snatch Zhang Chen back first. If Zhang Chen was taken away by the people from Pingbian Palace, would he have any chance of survival?

Zhang Chen showed no fear as he slowly took out a prepared explosive pack from his sleeve, pulled the fuse, and threw it into the imperial guards of the Prince of Pingbian's Palace.

A deafening explosion caused pain in the eardrums of everyone present.

What does it matter how powerful one's martial arts training is? After all, it is just a flesh and blood body. How can a flesh and blood body resist the power of gunpowder?

Even if the soldiers of the Pingbian Palace were wearing armor, there would always be some parts exposed, right?

For example, key positions such as hands and face.

Countless iron chips flew out along with the explosion, breaking through the air and creating sparks on the guards' armor. Screams were heard, and countless guards fell to the ground, emitting painful howls.

When Zhang Chen threw the gunpowder bag, he consciously avoided the young master and Xie Lingyun, so the two were not affected. As for the prince of Pingbian Palace, Zhang Xiaohua?
At the critical moment, Mr. Wuliu beside him controlled the underground soil to form a wall of earth to block in front of him. The wall of earth turned into rock and blocked the overwhelming iron filings.

"What kind of method is this? Although it has little killing power on extraordinary people, it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack on ordinary people." Mr. Wuliu stood behind the stone wall, looking at Zhang Chen who was walking slowly to the outside world, with a hint of caution in his eyes.

The explosive pack blew up a large number of soldiers. Zhang Chen stretched out his hand and saw that the fox fairy Nannan had already handed over an explosive pack obediently. She pointed at the scholar in the distance with a look of gloating and fearing that the world would not be in chaos, and shouted: "Throw it in that direction! Throw it in that direction!"

After practicing in the spiritual world, the fox fairy Nannan has now entered the realm of Yin God. The person with the highest cultivation level in the field is only a Yin God, so the fox fairy Nannan's Yin God is running around everywhere, and no one can see her at this time.

Zhang Chen ignored the fox fairy Nannan's shouting, but lit the gunpowder bag in his hand again and threw it at the soldier blocking him.

When the soldiers saw the explosives thrown at them, they lay down on the ground without thinking and hid their limbs and faces.

"Boom~"

There was another loud bang, and the gunpowder exploded, hitting the soldiers' helmets and armor. The casualties were not heavy, but the momentum was terrifying.

"It's this kind of power! It was this kind of power that harmed me in the first place!" Zhang Xiaohua hid behind the stone wall, her voice filled with shock and anger.

Mr. Wuliu also had a strange look on his face: "It's not very powerful, but it poses a great threat to ordinary people. If ordinary soldiers were to face it, they would probably be killed or injured in one encounter."

"My Lord, hide behind the stone wall. Wait for me to capture him for you!"

The next moment, Mr. Wuliu's Yin spirit left his body, and a sharp sword flew up out of thin air. The Yin spirit controlled the flying sword and stabbed towards Zhang Chen.

"A powerful Yin God?" Zhang Chen's eyes flashed with golden light. He saw Mr. Wuliu's Yin God and the sword, but there was no panic on his face.

Of course he knew that he couldn't block the sword, but there would definitely be someone who could block the sword for him.

As expected by Zhang Chen, the next moment, a soldier from the Inspection Office rushed over from a distance with blood gushing out of his body, "Traitor Zhang Chen, why don't you surrender quickly!"

The blood and energy of dozens of soldiers burst out, turning into furnaces, raising the temperature in the field by several degrees. Before Mr. Wuliu's Yin Spirit, who was riding the sword, could get close, it was knocked out of the sword by the power of blood and energy. It was like ice and snow meeting a branding iron. The sword was directly shaken to the ground by the masculine power of blood and energy, and the Yin Spirit quickly returned to the body.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen turned his head to look at Xie Lingyun, and saw Xie Lingyun winking at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen understood what she meant and rushed into the crowd with the explosive pack in his hand.

Zhang Chen felt very strange at this moment. Why do you think so?

The warrior with his blood and qi stimulated couldn't resist his own immobilization talisman, but he could restrain the strong man in the Yin Shen realm. Don't you think it's strange?
At this time, the martial arts masters' blood and masculine energy were bursting out, the Yin spirit masters were unable to leave their bodies, and the Yang spirit masters had not descended yet. Who could stop the explosive pack in Zhang Chen's hand?

The most important thing is that the fox fairy Nannan is protected by dragon energy and is not afraid of the masculine power of qi and blood at all. She can continuously bring explosive packs to Zhang Chen. I just want to ask you if you are angry?
After Zhang Chen casually threw out three explosive packs, there was chaos in the field. Countless nobles who came to watch the show fled in panic, while Zhang Chen mixed in the crowd and quickly disappeared in the crowd.

"Rebel Zhang Chen, don't try to escape. Surrender immediately." Just as Zhang Chen was walking down the mountain and arriving at the gate, a person with bloodline abilities finally caught up with him. He was surrounded by a layer of fire. The fire flashed with a scorching temperature and enveloped Zhang Chen directly.

"A third-level fire-type mutant?" Zhang Chen looked at the fireball that was more than ten meters in size in the sky with surprise. He remembered that his fire-proof talisman was already at the fifth level, right?

Then Zhang Chen simply ignored the opponent's fire, a dagger appeared in his hand, and he walked towards the opponent quickly.

"How is this possible!" When the other party saw that Zhang Chen was unharmed in the flames, his face suddenly changed, his eyes were full of disbelief, and then he turned around and ran without saying a word.

"Why are you running? Lend me a light!"

Seeing that there was still some residual fire on the ground, Zhang Chen directly lit the explosive pack in his hand, turned around and threw it over, which immediately caused chaos among the pursuers behind.

Zhang Chen was running in front, and the martial arts masters of the Inspection Office were chasing him closely. The angle at which Zhang Chen threw the explosive pack was very subtle. It seemed earth-shattering and destructive, but it did not directly harm the warriors of the Inspection Office.

On the mountain
As Zhang Chen left, the crowd gradually regained stability. Mr. Wuliu shouted to Xie Lingyun, "Commander Xie, quickly have your officers collect their blood and qi, and wait for my Yin Spirit to leave my body and kill him."

"They have already run down the mountain, how can I pass on the order?" Xie Lingyun's eyes were full of innocence.

Mr. Wuliu stamped his feet in anger when he heard this, then turned his head to look at the master of Pingbian Palace behind him: "Chase! You must catch up with him, don't let that guy get away."

Mr. Wuliu led his men to chase down the mountain, while Xie Lingyun and Mr. Xiao looked at each other inadvertently, nodded to each other imperceptibly, and then both sides dispersed.

When he escapes, he chases him, and he cannot fly without wings.

"The explosive pack has extremely limited killing power against elite soldiers wearing armor. If those soldiers' faces were not covered with armor, I'm afraid my explosive pack would not cause any harm to them." Zhang Chen pondered in his heart as he ran quickly among the crowd.

The armor on the soldiers was much stronger than the bulletproof vests of later generations. The armor was made entirely of pieces of steel strung together. It was impossible to use the power of the explosive pack to push the iron filings apart.

A grenade can’t even blow down a concrete wall, let alone armor?

Zhang Chen had mysterious blood and the power of the crystal core in his body, so he ran tirelessly all the way. And the guards of the Inspection Office rode on horses after they came down the mountain. Although they were wearing armor, they did not seem tired.

However, Zhang Chen still deliberately slowed down his speed, fearing that he would tire out the opponent's horses and prevent the warriors of the Inspection Office from catching up, and then he would be caught up by the powerful Yin God.

The city gate had been closed long ago. A monk's soul left his body and reported the news of the closure of the city gate in advance. At this time, thousands of soldiers in front of the city gate were arrayed and staring at Zhang Chen. However, Zhang Chen saw that the other party was not wearing iron armor, but ordinary cowhide armor. He shook his head secretly, but did not show mercy. He lit the explosive pack in his hand and threw it over without saying a word.

A bomb threw the enemy to the ground, causing wailing and screaming. In an instant, the area in front of the city gate turned into a living hell.

Broken arms and intestines were flying everywhere, but Zhang Chen had a sneer on his face, without any mercy. Now was a critical moment of life and death, how could he be full of compassion?
Before Zhang Chen threw the third explosive pack, the officers and soldiers in the field had already fled in all directions, leaving the area in front of the city gate empty.

Zhang Chen looked at the city gate in front of him. He could not lift the gate pole by himself, and naturally could not push the gate open. Fortunately, Zhang Chen had plenty of explosive packs. With each explosive pack thrown by Zhang Chen, the city gate was torn into pieces. Then Zhang Chen led the way and rushed out of the city.

Behind him, the knights of the Procuratorate watched Zhang Chen holding a pack of explosives and killing people in all directions. Their eyelids twitched: "Tell the brothers, if we are not wearing armor in the future, we should hide as far away as possible when we meet this guy. We must not be blown up by that ghost thing."

A group of strong men from the Inspection Office who had activated their qi and blood all agreed with this. They thought that they had become strong men just by activating their qi and blood. But who knew that Zhang Chen would teach them a lesson today.

"Is that kid still human? He ran more than 20 kilometers in one breath. Our horses were almost exhausted, but he was still running as fast as a flying horse with enough energy to spare."

After chasing each other for two hours, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Seeing Zhang Chen still walking briskly among the mountains, they couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Since horses could not be ridden in the mountains, the soldiers simply dismounted and gave chase, continuing to track Zhang Chen's whereabouts.

Afterwards, the army and masters of the Pingbian Palace, as well as the masters of Confucianism, all rushed over and followed closely, refusing to give up.

Zhang Chen shattered Mr. Wu's Taoist aspirations, and the Confucian school wished they could tear out Zhang Chen's tendons and skin him alive.

Zhang Chen rushed to Zhong Xiang's tent without blushing or breathing hard. At this time, Zhong Xiang's tent had already heard the noise down the mountain and became alert.

"who!"

When Zhong Xiang's guards saw Zhang Chen, they scolded him.

"Let him come over!" Zhong Xiang hurriedly asked the guards to make way.

The guards were surprised when they heard this, but they did not dare to disobey.

Zhang Chen quickly rushed past the guards, then came to Zhong Xiang's side, pointed in the direction of the mountain and said: "I have brought the people here. Whether you can trick everyone in from now on will depend on your acting skills."

Listening to the shouting at the bottom of the mountain, Zhong Xiang had a bad feeling for some reason: "What did you do at the bottom of the mountain?"

"You also know that I have a grudge against the Pingbian Palace. It is reasonable for the masters of the Pingbian Palace to hunt me down, right?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

Zhong Xiang nodded when he heard this: "Are you the master from the Pingbian Palace?"

"By the way, are you related to Mr. Wu?" Zhang Chen seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked. He suddenly remembered that Mr. Wu seemed to have a nickname called Zhong Wubai?

"Why are you asking this?" Zhong Xiang felt that Zhang Chen's question was a bit strange.

"Does it matter?" Zhang Chen asked.

"He is an elder in my family." Zhong Xiang replied.

Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this: "Is there really a connection?"

Then he looked at Zhong Xiang with a pair of eyes, and he stammered, not knowing how to bring up the previous discussion.

"What do you want to say?" Zhong Xiang saw Zhang Chen hesitating and unable to speak, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"I just didn't like that old man before, so I argued with him for a few sentences. Unexpectedly, the old man was not defeated by me and fainted from anger. It seemed that the injury was quite serious. Those Confucian masters also followed him." Zhang Chen said with some guilt.

Zhong Xiang's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and his eyes were filled with horror: "What!!! Don't joke with me, this kind of joke is absolutely not allowed!"

You fainted from a few arguments? You are kidding me!
Zhang Chen patted Zhong Xiang on the shoulder, and rushed towards the tomb with a guilty conscience. However, he suddenly stopped halfway and turned around to ask, "By the way, has Huang Chao arrived?"

"You mean the beggar? He went in a long time ago." Zhong Xiang said.

Zhang Chen sighed inwardly when he heard this: "Huang Chao is indeed a brave and courageous guy."

As he spoke, Zhang Chen turned into a cloud and floated into the cave. Then he sped all the way in the cave, passing through one door after another, and came to the black pool of water again.

"I don't know where Huang Chao has gone. Why haven't I seen any trace of him along the way?"

Zhang Chen turned into mist and kept floating in the air, but he did not find any trace of Huang Chao. He had thought that if he met Huang Chao, he could give this kid a warning, but who knew that this kid had disappeared without a trace.

"Forget it, I'll find a place to hide myself first." Zhang Chen swept his eyes across the entire cave, but there was no suitable hiding place.

There will be a big show later, how can we miss him, this important audience?
Zhang Chen's eyes quickly swept through the cave, but after looking for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable hiding place. Finally, he simply turned into a stream of water, swam like a spirit snake, and drilled into a crevice in the rock.

Goulan County
In front of the familiar stall, the young man and Xie Lingyun were eating mutton offal.

"Did you say that kid escaped?" Xie Lingyun was a little worried.

"If the Yang Spirit doesn't come out, with the interference of martial arts qi and blood, it will be difficult for the Yin Spirit strong to do anything. With the means that the boy has, how can ordinary soldiers stop him?" The young gentleman said here, looking at Xie Lingyun with a pair of eyes: "Do you know what means the boy used to explode? It's really terrible. If it is controlled by a certain force, I'm afraid the world will be in turmoil, which will be a disaster rather than a blessing for the people of the world."

Xie Lingyun said with a serious expression: "That's true."

Then the two of them ate the mutton offal with their own thoughts, and suddenly Xie Lingyun asked, "How is Mr. Wu?"

"The situation is not good." Young Master Nagisa Shun sighed softly.

"I actually want to go to that big tomb and see if it's as weird as you said." Xie Lingyun suddenly raised his head and said.
