Catching Monsters

Chapter 165 Copper Pillar Token
Lightning flashed continuously in the black thundercloud. Finally, with a loud bang, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket fell and hit Jiang Yun hard.

In an instant, blue light flashed in Jiang Yun's pupils, and strong electric light flashed all over his body.

Jiang Yun kicked his feet, rushed forward, and punched the bronze pillar hard. His speed was as fast as a flash of thunder.

Tongzhu had no time to react before the punch hit him hard in the chest.

Bang!
The copper pillar flew in the air like a kite with a broken string.

hiss!
Tongzhu felt the power of thunder coming faintly from his chest and thought to himself that it was not good. This guy was really playing the pig to eat the tiger. The power that erupted at this time caught him off guard.

The power displayed has probably reached the peak of the fifth level, and even has the power of the fourth level.

In mid-air, the bronze pillar quickly stabilized its body and landed in a fairly graceful posture.

But the next moment, Jiang Yun rushed to him again and grabbed his wrist tightly.

The copper pillar's pupils shrank slightly, and then, a tremendous force of thunder flashed over!

Tongzhu felt great pain all over from the force of thunder. He pushed Jiang Yun away and took several steps back.

Jiang Yun was breathing heavily, his forehead was covered with sweat. This was the strongest fighting power he could unleash.

But it is still impossible to completely kill the copper pillar.

The strength of this bronze pillar is probably that of a strong man at the fourth level. Damn, my magic power is almost exhausted.

The bronze pillar on the opposite side looked at Jiang Yun with caution, as he was also somewhat unsure of Jiang Yun's background.

Jiang Yun exhaled deeply, the electric light on his body gradually disappeared, and his magic power was exhausted.

A strong feeling of weakness came over him, and Jiang Yun could only barely stand and act as if nothing had happened.

Tongzhu looked at Jiang Yun, who was showing signs of fatigue. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes beneath the mask, and then he seemed to understand.

"Your magic power is only at the sixth level of Inner Alchemy? But the power of the Taoist magic you cast is far beyond ordinary magic."

There was a look of interest in Tongzhu's eyes. Suddenly, a silver needle shot out and hit Jiang Yun's Danzhong acupoint with a puff.

In an instant, a feeling of dizziness came over Jiang Yun, and he fell to the ground weakly.

"Jiang Yun!"

When Xu Xiaogang saw this, his face changed drastically and he hurried forward to help, but he didn't expect that Tongzhu would slap him with a palm and knock Xu Xiaogang back.

Tongzhu smiled coldly, looking at the unconscious Jiang Yun with great interest, raised his hand to pick him up, and said in a deep voice: "Daosaw must be very interested in the powerful Taoist magic on you, and can use you to exchange for a lot of good things."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew through the dark forest.

"who?"

Tongzhu suddenly looked towards the forest behind him.

"It turns out that the recent epidemic in the capital was caused by you."

Feng Yu slowly walked out from behind a tree, with his hands in front of him and a faint smile on his face.

Tongzhu frowned slightly. He didn't know the other person, but after looking at his clothes, he asked, "Eunuch?"

"Eunuch Feng." Xu Xiaogang was surprised when he saw Feng Yu appear. He did not expect that the other party would appear here.

"Oh, at my age, it's really tiring to rush here so late at night." Feng Yu pounded his thigh and shook his head helplessly.

Tongzhu casually threw the unconscious Jiang Yun aside, stretched his shoulders, and said coldly: "Old eunuch, if I were you, get out of here right now..."

Feng Yu shook his head and said slowly, "That won't do. Recently, His Majesty heard that the epidemic was raging in the capital and he couldn't get enough rest. As servants, we have to let our masters get enough rest."

"Hmph." Tongzhu snorted coldly and suddenly waved his hand. Dozens of silver needles instantly flew towards Feng Yu like a rainstorm.

Feng Yu waved his sleeves and blocked the dozens of silver needles, which fell to the ground one by one. "Is this the only trick the people in the Niejingtai organization have?"

"The swordsman from your Niejingtai once came to the capital, but he didn't look like you."

Tongzhu didn't want to talk to him after hearing that. Suddenly, a breeze blew by.

Tongzhu originally wanted to continue, but his body gradually stiffened.

A blood mark gradually appeared on his white neck.

Then, the head fell to the ground with a thud.

The gust of wind just now actually contained murderous intent, and he was completely unaware of it.

Looking at the head on the ground, Feng Yu shook his head, walked forward and searched his body.

On his body, there was only a token with black patterns on it, and on it were two words written: Bronze Pillar.

When Xu Xiaogang saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly. It was the first time he saw Feng Yu take action.

The strength of this old eunuch has simply reached an extraordinary level.

I'm afraid he has already reached the third level of martial arts master.

"Young Duke, don't just stand there. Let Jiang Yun wake up first. I'll go and get rid of that beast." Feng Yu said slowly, and then quickly walked towards the river where Pu Pu was fighting fiercely with many Jinyiwei.

Xu Xiaogang did not dare to delay and quickly came to Jiang Yun, pulled out the silver needle, and then injected his magic power into Jiang Yun's body.

After a while, Jiang Yun slowly opened his eyes, then sat up and looked around.

Then he saw the body of the bronze pillar.

"Hiss, you killed him?" Jiang Yun looked at Xu Xiaogang in disbelief.

Xu Xiaogang rolled his eyes at Jiang Yun and said, "Do I have the ability to do this? It was done by Eunuch Feng Yu..."

Soon, Xu Xiaogang told everyone exactly what had happened.

After hearing this, Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. If he was really taken away by this guy, the consequences would be disastrous.

With the help of Xu Xiaogang, he slowly stood up and quickly walked out of the forest.

By the time he and Xu Xiaogang walked out, the battle was over.

The originally extremely ferocious Pu Pu was now cut into pieces by some sharp object, and scattered all over the ground.

The Jinyiwei who were present looked at Feng Yu with eyes that were three parts shocked and seven parts fearful.

They fought fiercely with the Pu Pu for a long time but were unable to defeat it. Feng Yu suddenly walked out of the forest with a smile on his face, and then slapped it with his palm.

It actually blasted the evil creature into countless pieces, scattering them all over the ground.

The evil spirit contained in these pieces of meat was gradually dissipating...

"Are you awake?"

Feng Yu turned around and looked at Jiang Yun, still with a smile on his face.

Jiang Yun hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists, saying in a deep voice: "Thank you for your help, eunuch..."

Feng Yu put his hands behind his back, still with that characteristic smile on his face: "You are lucky. I am under the order of His Majesty to go to the East Pacification Division to ask Captain Yang if you have any clues."

"As a result, Captain Yang said that you led people to search along Tongqu River in the middle of the night, and it seemed that you had some clues."

"I came here out of curiosity, but I didn't expect to run into you by chance." Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly counted the people under his command.

Including him and Xu Xiaogang, there were a total of thirteen people when they arrived. One person died, four others were seriously injured, and the others also had injuries of varying degrees.

However, this result is already considered lucky, if Feng Yu had not appeared by chance.

I'm afraid that all of them will die here today.

"Take the wounded and return to Beijing for treatment." Jiang Yun looked at Qi Da and said.

Fortunately, everyone's fast horses were nearby.

During this time, Feng Yu waved at Jiang Yun and threw out a token: "Take it."

Jiang Yun took the token. This token had a very unique texture. It was pitch black, but it did not look like ordinary metal. There were complex words engraved on it, as if depicting a scene from hell. On the other side, the words "Bronze Pillar" were written.

"Father, what is this?"

"Keep it for yourself, and you will know later."

Listening to Feng Yu's words, Jiang Yun nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Eunuch, do you need to investigate the identity of the person behind the copper pillar mask?"

"Perhaps we can find out the identities of the others from him?"

"It's just a waste of effort." Feng Yu shook his head and said slowly: "The identities of the people in the Niejingtai are independent and confidential. They communicate with each other in a special way."

"They don't know each other's identities."

"As for the rest, General Jiang will have to find a way to investigate it himself."

Jiang Yun was stunned. I want to find a way to check it?
He looked down at the black token in his hand and frowned.

However, out of curiosity, he still asked his men to take out the body of the bronze pillar and remove the mask on the head.

Unexpectedly, underneath the mask was a face that was burned beyond recognition and looked hideous.

It is almost impossible to tell the other person's identity from this.

"have to."

Soon, a huge fire burned Tongzhu's body, including Pupu's body.

Then the group quickly returned to the capital.

After returning to the capital, Feng Yu said goodbye to everyone with a smile on his face, and claimed that he would tell His Majesty as soon as possible that the evil beast that spread the plague had been eliminated.

Jiang Yunze brought his men back to the East Pacification Office, and the four seriously injured brothers were soon taken over for treatment by the doctors in the office.

The body of the deceased subordinate was sent to the side hall of the yamen.

Qi Da's injuries were not serious. Looking at the corpse in front of him, he sighed helplessly and said, "Lao Qin and I have known each other for many years. We have been through life and death together on many missions."

Although Xu Xiaogang was not familiar with Lao Qin, his expression was still very ugly.

The same was true for Jiang Yun, of course. He didn't have much interaction with this subordinate, and he didn't have a deep impression of him, but after all, he lost his life while following him on a mission.

"Okay, go back and have a good rest." Jiang Yun patted Qi Da's shoulder and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Jiang Yun immediately wrote a report on the process of today's mission and took it to Yang Liunian's study.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and went in. Yang Liunian was dozing off inside.

Hearing footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes: "Hey, you're back?"

He sat up and stretched himself. "How was the investigation?"

Jiang Yun stepped forward and put the report he had written on the table: "The evil spirit that spread the disease has been eliminated by our East Pacification Division."

Hearing these words, Yang Liunian's eyes suddenly lit up and his face was filled with joy. He quickly picked up the report and read it carefully.

"Good, good, good."

"Jiang Yun, I knew I was right about you!"

"You have done a great job!"

The three pacification offices of the Jinyiwei in the southeast and north searched but found nothing. Unexpectedly, they were eliminated by Jiang Yun.

Yang Liunian read the contents of the report carefully, and his expression became slightly strange.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Jiang Yun and asked, "Did Eunuch Feng take action? He got rid of this evil spirit, and it also involved the people from the Evil Mirror Platform?"

Jiang Yun smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for Eunuch Feng's arrival, I would have lost my life."

"But even so, Lao Qin lost his life because of it."

Yang Liunian looked gloomy and comforted Jiang Yun: "When you first started leading people on a mission, casualties among your subordinates were actually normal."

"You should have noticed that the minimum requirement for people in our Jinyiwei is to have the eighth level of martial arts cultivation."

"But I still feel a little overwhelmed when dealing with all kinds of strange and unpredictable cases."

"Don't worry, Lao Qin's funeral and the comfort of his family will be well handled by our East Pacification Division."

"Besides, you don't have many people left. I will arrange some new people to supplement your team later."

"Go back and rest early."

The joy on Yang Liunian's face did not fade much.

After all, this great achievement is not easy.

Jiang Yun raised his hand and bowed, saying in a deep voice: "Yes, I will take my leave first."

After walking out of Yang Liunian's study, Xu Xiaogang was waiting outside the door.

The two dragged their tired bodies and hurried back to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to rest.

Xu Suwen and Jiang Qiaoqiao had already gone to bed.

Jiang Yun returned to his room and lay down on the bed. Only then did the tiredness in his body feel relieved a little.

Lying on the bed, he took out the token with the word "copper pillar" written on it with some curiosity.

He was also a little curious. Why did Eunuch Feng suddenly give him this token?
He looked it up and down and vaguely discovered that there was a certain pattern between the lines.

It does look a bit like the patterns on a spell.

Out of curiosity, he injected some of the little magic power that had recovered in his body into it.

Sure enough, the token with the word "copper pillar" written on it actually shone with a faint light.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yun felt a powerful suction force coming from the token.

It was as if he wanted to absorb his own spiritual consciousness into it!

Got it!
