Catching Monsters

Chapter 486: Transformation into a Dragon
Four powerful figures stood on the rooftop, their divine senses locked onto Chang Yujian and Chang Kuian.

Chang Yujian's face was extremely ugly. He clenched his fists and glanced at the four people before saying, "Are you going to help the human court against our snake clan?"

“The Dragon Saint left behind a sacred instruction: among the demon race, it is not wrong to fight each other, but one must not help humans fight against the demon race.”

"Aren't you two races afraid that if the Dragon Saint finds out about this, he will be furious!"

Chang Yujian was genuinely panicked. If it were just Jiang Yun making a move, he wouldn't be worried at all.

It's a pipe dream for these mere Imperial Guards in the capital to think they can deal with the many experts from the Serpent Clan on this trip.

But if you add the fox clan and the tiger clan, it becomes different.

In addition, there are already many grudges among the demon races. For example, Wei Nan of the Tiger Clan was secretly attacked by Chang Yujian as early as three hundred years ago.

Wei Nan's own brother died at the hands of Chang Yujian.

Of course, such grudges are perfectly normal within the demon race.

Seeing that Hu Yuange, Wei Nan, and the other powerful figures did not respond, Chang Yujian continued, "If you dare to make a move, can you withstand the awakening of my Serpent Clan's Demon Saint?"

Hu Yuange's voice was icy as he slowly said, "Who doesn't have the protection of a demon saint?"

"Killing you is only for the purpose of seizing Yan Jiu; it has nothing to do with cooperating with humans."

fart!

How could Chang Yujian believe such a thing?

It's obvious that the Tiger Clan and the Fox Clan are in cahoots with Jiang Yun, which is why they came here together. But now, there's no point in saying anything more.

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Jiang Yun and Xu Suwen. He should have just taken Xu Suwen's life.

"I'll leave this place to you four for now." Jiang Yun glanced at the four second-grade Earth Demon Realm experts from the Tiger Clan and Fox Clan, then carried Xu Suwen out of the mansion.

Jiang Yun learned that the mansion was under guard, and the snake clan had to be completely wiped out. If any survivors escaped back to the demon kingdom, the consequences would be dire.

Outside this four-courtyard mansion, there were nearly thirty third-rank demon kings from the tiger and fox clans who had come on this trip.

They all rolled into the courtyard and, without saying a word, swiftly attacked the snake demons.

boom!
Under the cover of night in the capital city, a fierce clash of magical powers erupted centered around this mansion.

The sound, like a thunderclap in the night, resounded throughout the capital, and ordinary people were instantly awakened by the loud noise.

However, the people in the capital were quite experienced in these matters, and they all kept their gates tightly closed and stayed obediently in their homes.

Such a loud noise must mean something bad has happened in the capital. Going out at this time could easily lead to your death.

Even as night fell, some people were still strolling on the streets, but they all rushed back to their homes as soon as possible.

In the backyard, Hu Yuange, Wei Nan, and three other Earth Demon Realm beings launched a frenzied attack on Chang Yujian and Chang Kuian.

They revealed themselves without reservation, transforming into their true forms: two enormous seven-tailed fox spirits and two massive tigers, each the size of a small house.

Chang Yujian and Chang Kuian also transformed back into their true forms, two giant pythons that were fifteen or sixteen meters long.

For a monster to unleash its full power, it must transform into its true form.

Six terrifying, monstrous auras continuously erupted from the backyard.

In the midst of the chaotic battle between the six powerful demons, nearly half of this enormous mansion was destroyed and reduced to rubble in a short time.

Meanwhile, there were also dozens of other demon kings at the third rank, who were instantly caught in the melee, creating an extremely chaotic scene.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Qi Da, sweat pouring down his forehead, kept giving orders, instructing the Imperial Guards who were on guard nearby to retreat.

Faced with this group of terrifying monsters, even the Imperial Guards of the Eastern Garrison dared not get too close.

The battle had barely begun when debris flying from the courtyard injured members of the Imperial Guards.

They retreated one street to the back, giving several more streets to the monsters for their battle.

As for Jiang Yun, he carried Xu Suwen to the outer perimeter and soon summoned Zhu Zanyu.

"Quickly, send Suwen back to the Duke's mansion and let Xiao Hei treat her," Jiang Yun said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Zhu Zanyu knew that Xu Suwen was Lord Jiang's fiancée, so he dared not be negligent.

Zhu Zanyu quickly selected several dozen Imperial Guards and rushed towards the location of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

As Jiang Yun watched Zhu Zanyu leave, she couldn't help but take a deep breath. It seemed that buying her own place to live would have to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

With such a top expert launching a sudden attack, ordinary guards and protectors are simply useless.

Of course, we'll have to talk about that later.

The houses within a three-mile radius of the courtyard have been almost completely destroyed.

The Imperial Guard's defenses were repeatedly withdrawn.

One by one, the Imperial Guards, dressed in flying fish robes and holding embroidered spring knives, stood on the rooftops, looking at the battlefield in the middle, which had been reduced to ruins.

He was also secretly alarmed.

Jiang Yun was initially worried that Hu Yuange and Wei Nan might just be going through the motions with their men...

It seems I underestimated the hatred between these three demon clans...

Jiang Yun essentially started it all. As these three experts from the demon race began to fight each other, they couldn't help themselves and their attacks became increasingly ruthless.

The battle lasted for nearly three hours, and the sky in the distance had even begun to lighten.

Inside the ruins, dried blood, foxes, pythons, and tigers lay scattered haphazardly among the rubble.

Jiang Yun held the Three Pure Ones Fist and stared at the situation on the battlefield.

The tiger and fox clans together have four Earth Demon Realm experts and nearly thirty Great Demons at the Third Rank Demon King Realm.

Almost everyone is now injured.

Ten powerful demons at the third-rank demon king level also perished in the battle. Of course, if the tiger and fox clans suffered such a terrible defeat even when they joined forces, the two earth demons of the snake clan, although still alive, had been severely injured.

As for the experts at the third-grade demon king level, they were all killed in battle last night.

With a gentle morning breeze, the strong stench of blood permeated almost half of the capital city.

Chang Yujian and Chang Kuian had held off Wei Nan, Hu Yuange and others' attacks for three hours.

They were all severely injured and had bloodshot eyes.

He stayed with Chang Kuian, relying on each other, and Hu Yuange and the other three surrounded him without killing him.

They knew each other too well; they knew that there was a fundamental difference between a second-grade Earth Demon Realm cultivator and a third-grade Demon King Realm cultivator.

Chang Yujian and Chang Kuian still had one ultimate technique left unused.

"Elder Yu Ning, if this continues, we're afraid we'll be dragged to our deaths by these four." Chang Kuian's eyes were red as he gasped for breath. "Of the two of us, I'm afraid only one of us will survive."

Upon hearing this, Chang Yujian nodded slightly. He took a deep breath and said, "You must go back and tell the clan leader the whole story."

Upon hearing this, Chang Kuian's expression changed slightly, while Chang Yujian looked at the corpses of his clansmen in the distance, his eyes filled with a sense of sorrow.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I led the team this time, but most of our snake clan's experts perished here. This battle will probably take our snake clan a hundred years to recover from."

"I have a responsibility."

After saying that, Chang Yujian, who had transformed into his true form, suddenly opened his blood-red maw and spat out a crystal-clear golden demon core, the size of an adult's fist.

The demon core suddenly developed cracks in mid-air before shattering, and the demonic energy that had accumulated for countless years frantically converged towards Chang Yujian's body.

When Hu Yuange, Wei Nan, and the other three experts saw this, their expressions changed, and they knew that Chang Yujian was really going to fight to the death.

No, none of that can be called risking one's life.

A top-tier expert at the second-grade Earth Demon Realm broke through his demon core, unleashing the power of his demon core accumulated over hundreds of years in one go.

"hide!"

Hu Yuange and the others knew exactly what was going on, and dared not stay around anymore, but instead scattered in all directions.

They were terrified of being traded one for one in the end.

A terrifying aura emanated from Chang Yujian's body.

At this moment, his enormous python body, which was fourteen or fifteen meters long, slowly grew a horn from its forehead after merging with the power of his demon core.

It opened its blood-red maw and let out a shrill cry, a cry that was not the hiss of a python, but rather carried a hint of a dragon's roar.

Turn into a dragon!

"Kui'an, I'll send you away from the capital!" The dragon that Chang Yujian had transformed into soared into the sky, carrying the heavily injured Chang Kui'an, and headed towards the east of the capital.

None of Hu Yuange and his three companions dared to stop them.

Soon, Chang Yujian and Chang Kuian disappeared from the scene.

"Phew." A look of joy appeared on Hu Yuange's face as he slowly said, "The snake clan has suffered such a heavy blow that it will take them a hundred years to recover."

This trip was quite fruitful. Even without finding Yan Jiu, killing so many snake clan members was still a great gain.

At the same time, Wei Nan's expression changed slightly. He looked eastward and said, "Damn it, that bastard Chang Yujian is back after seeing Chang Kuian off!"

"Hide!" Wei Nan said, then gave a wink to his fellow tiger clan experts and quickly fled in all directions.

Chang Yujian destroyed his demon core and is already beyond saving. Now that he has rushed back, he must be looking for one of them and offering his life in exchange for theirs.

At times like this, anyone who runs too slowly and gets bumped into by Chang Yujian is in deep trouble.

The four quickly concealed their presence and scattered in all directions.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yun was sitting in a guest room at an inn near the ruins, eating breakfast brought to him by his subordinates.

Jiang Yun's mood calmed down considerably. News came from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion that Xu Suwen had been sent back in time and had been treated by Xiao Hei, and was now fine.

Dengdengdeng.

A series of hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside the inn. Soon, Qi Da walked in from outside and said, "My lord, something bad has happened. There are some strange things happening on the demon side."

"Something's wrong?" Jiang Yun frowned and asked.

Qi Da said in a deep voice, "According to observation, when Hu Yuange, Wei Nan, and the other two powerful figures were besieging Chang Yujian..."

Suddenly, Chang Yujian spat out a demon core. After the demon core was destroyed, Chang Yujian absorbed its power.

"Then, a horn grew on its head."

Jiang Yun frowned slightly: "That's called 'transformation into a dragon'."

Zidane nodded and continued, "Then, after Chang Yujian left the capital with Chang Kuian, it seems they turned back..."

"Hu Yuange, Wei Nan, and the others have already scattered and fled."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun's expression changed slightly. Suddenly, he felt a powerful divine sense approaching from all around him, which quickly locked onto him.

Grass!
Oops.

Jiang Yun's expression changed. How could he not guess that Chang Yujian, that bastard, was already dead and was now desperately trying to drag someone down with him to the underworld?

"Don't follow me." Jiang Yun reminded Qi Da, then quickly rushed out of the guest room. He looked up and saw Chang Yujian, exuding a terrifying aura, flying rapidly towards Jiang Yun from a distance of about a mile away.

Chang Yujian's time was running out, and he was prepared to let whoever he caught suffer the consequences.

It was obvious that I was the unlucky one.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and immediately fled in the direction of the palace.
