People are in the division of eliminating demons, and martial arts have evolved by themselves

Chapter 34 Missing
After the Nine Suns Divine Art was upgraded to the fourth level, there was an extra special effect of endless life.

Zhou You could clearly feel that the inner qi of Jiuyang had become more vigorous and full of vitality.

The most important point is that the speed of internal energy recovery has been greatly improved.

If you are caught in a protracted battle, this endless special effect is particularly critical. The faster your internal energy recovers, the easier it is to win.

Call ~
Zhou You exhaled a mouthful of crimson gas.

Now, his strength has reached a new peak.

After practicing, Zhou You was in a good mood and went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.

The Demon Eliminator is on the outskirts of Qingzhou City, not in the city, and most of the Demon Eliminators are old men who don't know how to cook at all, so the existence of the canteen is very necessary.

The dining hall is located in the middle of the residential area, and it took about 10 minutes for Zhou You to get there.

Zhou You ordered a bowl of beef intestine noodles today, put it on the table, and started to eat it.

The beef intestines are tender and chewy, and the flavor is even better when served with chopped green onions.

The noodles are also strong enough, and the soup is made from big bones, which is rich enough and has an endless aftertaste.

Even Zhou You had to admit that the level of the canteen of the Department of Demon Elimination was really nothing to say.

Just as he was seriously enjoying the food, a figure sat opposite him.

Smelling the strong smell of blood, Zhou You froze for a moment, then raised his head.

The person opposite is Zhang Lie, the life-and-death friend of his master.

"Uncle Zhang, what's the matter?" Zhou You frowned.

He knew Zhang Lie's temperament. He was usually taciturn, and he cherished words like gold. If there was no special matter, he would not come here to find him.

"I have received news from Xu Ling. There has been no news for 20 days. According to regulations, the Temple of Heaven has classified him as a missing person."

Zhang Lie looked calm, but Zhou You could clearly feel the fluctuations in his tone.

Hearing this news, Zhou You also frowned tightly.

It was only then that he remembered that it had been 20 days since he received Xu Ling's safety letter last time!

But Xu Ling didn't know how many tasks he had handled in a year for a mere three-star task, and Zhou You didn't feel that he would encounter any danger.

But after Zhang Lie's reminder, he also felt that Xu Ling took too long to deal with the task this time.

Previously, it took more than a month to deal with the demon removal task, and Xu Ling would basically follow the regulations and send a letter back to report the situation in half a month.

This time, there was no news for 20 days.
He originally thought that Xu Ling just didn't write a letter to himself, but he would still explain the progress of the mission to the Demon Exterminator.

But it never occurred to him that Xu Ling completely lost contact.
Zhou You couldn't help but cast a shadow over his heart.

It is said that he has traveled through so many days, and he has never even met Xu Ling once.

But he has long been integrated with the original memory of this body, regardless of each other, and his feelings for Xu Ling are also very deep.

"Let's go. Go to the Heavenly Star Hall." Zhang Lie stood up.

Zhou You hurriedly followed.

The slender man seemed to know that Zhou You and Zhang Lie were coming back, so he was waiting at the door.

Seeing the two of them, he nodded and then sighed, "Come with me."

It was still the room full of archives last time.

"Old Zhang, Zhou You, I won't hide it from you. It's been 20 days since Xu Ling heard the news last time."

"According to the regulations of our Exorcism Department, if there is no information for more than 20 days, it will be regarded as a missing person..."

The slender man was interrupted by Zhang Lie before he finished speaking.

"I'm going to investigate."

The slender man shrugged: "I knew you would say that. You must know that Xu Ling's strength is not weaker than yours. You can investigate, but you must first guarantee your own life."

"I know." Zhang Lie's face was gloomy.

"That...can I go together?" Zhou You interjected.

"No." Before the slender man could speak, Zhang Lie directly refused.

"Now there are some situations in the east of Qingzhou. The Department of Demon Elimination will dispatch a large number of people to go there. For the case of Xu Ling's disappearance, only one person can go there." The slender man also shook his head.

"Uncle Zhang, I want to go." Hearing the news, Zhou You turned his gaze to Zhang Lie.

"This case is too dangerous for you, a trainee demon slayer." Zhang Lie shook his head lightly.

But the slender man smiled at this time: "Old Zhang, you may not know that you have been on a mission recently. Zhou You has completed two [-]-star missions and has become an official demon slayer."

Zhang Lie looked surprised.

Zhou You also took out his identity token.

"Low-level demon slayers are not enough." Zhang Lie still did not agree.

But Zhou You still insisted that he could investigate the case of Xu Ling's disappearance.

The situation was deadlocked for a while.

Finally, the slender figure gave a suggestion: "As Xu Ling's apprentice, Zhou You wants to investigate Master's disappearance. As for Zhang Lie, as Xu Ling's life and death brother, I can understand."

"The main problem now is Zhang Lie, you feel that Zhou You is not capable enough to handle this matter, while Zhou You thinks he is capable of handling it."

"Then the easiest way is for the two of you to fight."

"In this way, we can convince each other."

Zhang Lie nodded: "Yes."

Zhou You also took a deep breath and agreed.

The Slender Man's proposal is indeed a good one.

In the Department of Demon Elimination, if there is any problem that cannot be solved, fists are the best solution.

The three of them came to the martial arts field together.

When Zhou You and Zhang Lie took the stage, they immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

"Zhang Lie, are you bullying his apprentice while Xu Ling is away?"

"Zhou You, call me. Let him see how powerful you are!"

Some familiar people in this martial arts field started booing.

The news of Xu Ling's disappearance did not spread.

The two were not affected by these words.

Facing Zhang Lie, Zhou You also felt great pressure, and directly picked up an unsharp iron knife.

The weapon Zhang Lie chose was also an iron knife.

"It's started." Zhang Lie said lightly.

"Okay." Zhou You took a deep breath.

The moment the voice fell, the two moved almost at the same time!
Call ~
The roaming speed was extremely fast, as if it had turned into a gust of wind and swept over.

In the air, there was a faint sound of howling wind.

On the other hand, Zhang Lie burst out with a strong bloody aura, and he slashed down with the long knife in his hand.

This knife was fierce and ruthless, and its aura was condensed to the extreme, as if it had turned into a bloody red light.

bang.

The two figures separated instantly.

In the first tentative fight, the two sides were evenly matched.

There was also a flash of surprise in Zhang Lie's eyes, the level of Zhou You's knife made even his eyes shine.

On the other hand, Zhou You's eyes are like lightning, looking straight ahead.
