Catching Monsters

Chapter 568 Thanks to Miss Feng
At this moment, Shan Tiangang was in mid-air, but he could feel the deathly aura coming from the array below.

He was experienced, but he also knew that if he were forcibly dragged into the array by these chains, he would probably die under Jiang Yun's array.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else. He chanted a complex incantation in a deep voice, and instantly his eyes turned blood red, and his entire demeanor changed drastically.

Many strange black runes flowed across his skin, then...

With a loud bang, he actually managed to break free of the iron chains binding him.

All the iron chains broke into more than a dozen pieces, which fell to the ground.

“A demonic and evil technique.” Upon seeing this, Master Lingxin immediately recognized the spell that Shan Tiangang had cast.

The Demon Transformation Technique is a secret method kept hidden by the Demon Spirit Sect. Its main function is to perfectly integrate one's demonic energy into the body and bones.

At this moment, Shan Tiangang's eyes slowly looked down at Jiang Yun, then transformed into a streak of black light and rushed towards Jiang Yun instantly.

Jiang Yun's heart skipped a beat; his magical power had been completely exhausted after casting the Seven Edicts...

Unfortunately, even with the Seven Edicts, Shan Tiangang easily broke free.

Jiang Yun also realized at this moment how terrifying a top expert like Shan Tiangang, who was at the first-grade level, was.

Of course, although he no longer had any magical power, Jiang Yun was not too worried about the aggressive Shan Tiangang, after all, Qin Hong and Master Lingxin were still there.

Sure enough, Qin Hong's eyes darkened, and he decided to stop holding back. He raised his right dragon claw and slammed it down with a whoosh. The powerful force caused the blue stone bricks beneath Qin Hong's feet to crack rapidly.

Qin Hong's powerful magic transformed into a golden five-clawed dragon in mid-air.

The five-clawed golden dragon roared and slammed into Shan Tiangang's body.

A loud bang came from mid-air.

Dan Tiangang felt a sharp pain in his chest after taking that blow.

At the same time, Master Lingxin below put his hands together, slowly closed his palms, and began chanting Buddhist scriptures.

A faint Buddhist light shone from Master Lingxin's body, and one after another, swastikas flashing with Buddhist light flew out of his mouth.

The swastika flew around Shan Tiangang, forming a circle that surrounded him in the center.

Soon, Shan Tiangang began to hear waves of Buddhist chants.

Immediately afterwards, Master Lingxin leaped up, sat cross-legged, and beneath him appeared a lifelike lotus platform.

He sat on a lotus platform, floating in mid-air, shining with golden light, like a Bodhisattva descending to earth.

As the Buddha's light emerged, the demonic nature within Shan Tiangang gradually disappeared under the surrounding Buddhist chants.

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless. Benefactor, please turn back to the shore, lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

"The sea of ​​suffering has no end, but when you turn back, you will reach the shore."

"Let the knife cut down and become a Buddha."

These two sentences kept echoing in Shan Tiangang's ears, and in an instant, they disturbed his demonic mind.

Soon, Shan Tiangang's eyes cleared up considerably. His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked up at Master Lingxin and said coldly, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot? You bald thieves, you just like to use these grand principles to deceive the world."

"You have diligently cultivated Buddhism for many years, yet you have failed to attain Buddhahood or sainthood. I, an old man, can attain Buddhahood simply by laying down my sword?"

Master Lingxin slowly opened his eyes: "Buddha is not the state of becoming a Buddha or a saint, but rather the state of a person's heart being good and having a heart that yearns for Buddha, which ultimately leads to the attainment of ultimate bliss..."

"Hahaha, you bald thieves, all you do is use these words to deceive the world." Upon hearing this, Shan Tiangang snorted coldly, and the demonic energy within his body surged once more. He sneered, "Then I'll see if your so-called Buddha can withstand this strike from me!"

With a clench of his fist, Shan Tiangang instantly transformed the surrounding demonic energy into a sharp longsword, a blade imbued with immense magical power.

With a powerful slash, he struck the swastikas surrounding him, instantly shattering them. The next moment, Shan Tiangang swung his blade at Master Lingxin once more.

"I'd like to see if this Buddha you speak of can save you!"

"Amitabha, since you are so stubborn, then this humble monk will send you to the Pure Land as soon as possible." Master Lingxin saw that Dan Tiangang's demonic energy was too deep, almost to the point of being deeply rooted, and he knew in his heart that it was impossible to persuade him to do good.

Master Lingxin raised his palm, and instantly, it transformed into a giant golden palm in the sky above.

Then, Master Lingxin gently lowered his palm.

The enormous hand also attacked Shan Tiangang.

Dan Tiangang, however, did not back down at all. His eyes were blood red, and he actually slashed with his sword, splitting the giant hand in two.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yun, watching the battle between the two above, was also somewhat alarmed. Was this the power of a First-Rank Realm cultivator...?

The fight between the two seemed simple and unremarkable, but Jiang Yun knew very well that if he were to fight them, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand more than two moves from them.

"Isn't Eunuch Qin going up to help?" Jiang Yun asked, looking at Qin Hong, who was also staring at the situation above.

Qin Hong shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "I have to keep a close eye on him, lest he become desperate and attack the palace."

When Qin Hong and Master Lingxin made a move, the other would be on guard.

Killing Shan Tiangang is important, but it's also crucial to keep the battle between the two sides under control.

At the very least, there must not be an incident where Shan Tiangang suddenly rushes into the palace and wreaks havoc.

It's one thing if the eunuchs and maids in the harem are harmed, but if they harm the concubines in the harem, things will get much worse.

In mid-air, Shan Tiangang frantically swung his longsword, relentlessly attacking Master Lingxin.

Master Lingxin frowned slightly and retreated continuously, not daring to fight him head-on.

Although he repeatedly said that the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was wonderful, Master Lingxin did not actually want to go there...

Finally, having found an opportunity, Shan Tiangang instantly fled frantically towards the outskirts of the capital.

Seeing Shan Tiangang head towards the outskirts of the capital, Qin Hong breathed a slight sigh of relief. He and Master Lingxin then flew off at top speed to chase after Shan Tiangang.

Near the imperial city, both Qin Hong and Master Lingxin were somewhat hesitant and timid. However, once they were outside the imperial city, the situation would be much better.

Seeing the three of them transform into three beams of light and head towards the outskirts of the capital, Jiang Yun, who was standing on the street, finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and he felt a strong sense of threat.

If it weren't for Feng Beier risking her life to loudly remind him...

If Jiang Yun were to get close and be ambushed by Shan Tiangang, he would likely not survive.

Jiang Yun breathed a heavy sigh of relief, dragging his exhausted body, drained of magic power, back into the Jiang residence.

At this moment, Xu Suwen and Jiang Qiaoqiao were in Jiang Qiaoqiao's room.

Xiao Hei had expended a lot of magic power and was curled up in a corner of the bed to rest, while Feng Beier, although not in mortal danger, had fallen into a coma.

Just then, Jiang Yun walked in from outside: "How is Miss Feng?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Suwen turned around and said, "The injuries have been almost healed, but he is still unconscious. He should be fine after resting for a while."

Jiang Yun glanced at Feng Beier on the bed and slowly said, "This time, we are very grateful to Miss Feng; otherwise, I'm afraid..."

……

Inside the underground chamber of the palace, a rather spacious room, Xiao Yuzheng sat with a furrowed brow, listening to Feng Yu recount the situation outside.

When Xiao Yuzheng heard that Shan Tiangang had already left the imperial city and that Master Lingxin and Qin Hong had gone after him, his expression softened.

"This Demon Spirit Sect is truly courting death." Xiao Yuzheng said coldly with a stern face, "I haven't even had a chance to settle accounts with them for supporting traitors back then, and now they've become even more audacious, actually causing trouble outside the capital."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yu nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the 300,000 rebels in the southwest have all fled into the three southwestern provinces. Zhenguo Zhengong is making arrangements to completely wipe them out."

"According to the information sent back by our spies in the three southwestern provinces, the people of the Demon Spirit Cult have left the three southwestern provinces in large numbers, and their whereabouts are unknown. They should choose another place to develop."

Xiao Yuzheng snorted coldly: "Over the years, the Demon Spirit Sect has preyed on the people, even controlling the appointment and removal of local government officials. The number of heinous acts is countless. It should have been wiped out long ago."

The Demon Spirit Cult once wielded immense power in Nanjin Province. Apart from high-ranking officials like the Provincial Governor, many official positions were controlled by the Demon Spirit Cult.

The imperial court was fully aware of these matters, but previously, firstly, the Demon Spirit Sect was deeply rooted in Nanjin Province, and secondly, it paid taxes truthfully every year, so Xiao Yuzheng turned a blind eye.

Xiao Yuzheng slowly said, "After Qin Hong and Master Lingxin kill this demon, we will immediately find out the whereabouts of the Demon Spirit Cult members and completely annihilate them."

"Yes."

Xiao Yuzheng slowly got up and led Feng Yu out of the secret room.

Meanwhile, in the dense forest outside the capital, Master Lingxin and Qin Hong had pursued Dan Tiangang to this place, but Dan Tiangang had vanished without a trace.

"Strange, that guy was fleeing in this direction, how could he suddenly disappear?"

In the forest, Master Lingxin and Qin Hong frowned and looked around to see what was going on.
