Catching Monsters

Chapter 629 Stay and be buried with them
Suddenly, in the pitch-black surroundings, a large, black blade slashed down from behind Jiang Yun with incredible speed. Clearly, this strike was aimed at Jiang Yun's life.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun was fully focused at the moment and dared not be careless in the slightest. He reacted immediately to the slightest movement behind him.

At this moment, with the power of thunder surging through his body, his reaction speed was much higher than usual. He instantly dodged to the side and barely avoided the attack.

Dan Tiangang, who was wielding his sword, changed his slash to a sweeping motion and attacked Jiang Yun again.

The fierce swordsmanship left Jiang Yun with no chance to retaliate; he could only rely on the speed of the lightning power to dodge continuously.

Dan Tiangang also noticed this at this moment and said coldly, "You brat, you do have a set of strange and unpredictable techniques, and your speed is not slow either."

The moment he finished speaking, the black broadsword in Shan Tiangang's hand suddenly burst out with a black flash, and the surrounding environment, which was already shrouded in black evil energy, was now enveloped.

In addition, the sudden burst of black light made it impossible for Jiang Yun to see his movements clearly.

Immediately afterwards, Shan Tiangang charged madly at Jiang Yun once again.

Jiang Yun could only discern the general direction of Shan Tiangang. He knew in his heart that he had to find a way to stall Shan Tiangang and then find an opportunity to escape.

If he allows a top-tier expert like Shan Tiangang to keep attacking him, he won't be able to dodge for long.

He didn't know how many tricks a demonic master like Shan Tiangang still had up his sleeve.

With this in mind, Jiang Yun no longer held back, and while retreating, he recited, "Seven Edicts!"

"Gen Mountain displays its mighty spirit, closes the earth tiger, seals the ghost's path, pierces the ghost's heart, breaks the ghost's belly, and seals off the evil spirits hidden in the Bagua Palace."

A powerful Taoist formation quickly appeared beneath Shan Tiangang's feet, and countless iron chains instantly bound him.

At the same time, Jiang Yun's eyes, which had been blinded by the black light, gradually regained some of their vision.

Dan Tiangang's face darkened, and he brandished his broadsword, continuously slashing at the iron chains that were extending from the ground and binding him.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath. He knew that this Seven Edicts Technique could not trap Shan Tiangang. He had already tried it back in the capital.

Of course, it was enough to buy him time. He turned around instantly and rushed towards the outside of the mansion.

But after running only a few steps, a figure stood behind him: Fang Zhihong.

Fang Zhihong clapped his hands lightly, glanced at Shan Tiangang who was bound and trapped by those iron chains, smiled coldly, and said, "Kid, Shan Tiangang wants to kill you. He has a grudge against you, but I have no grudge against you."

"Hand over the meteorite, and I'll let you leave."

"Don't even think about it. That thing can't hold Shan Tiangang for long. Once he catches up, you're definitely going to die."

Hearing Fang Zhihong's words, Jiang Yun remained unfazed and fled in another direction. He didn't trust this guy at all.

In Jiang Yun's view, even if he honestly handed over the meteorite, Fang Zhihong would not spare his life.

If even someone as righteous as myself has a questionable reputation, then what about those who follow the demonic path?

Seeing that Jiang Yun ignored his suggestion, Fang Zhihong frowned and muttered, "This kid should at least hand over the meteorite before running away."

He certainly had no intention of letting Jiang Yun go, whether it was due to Fang Zhihong's personality or the demonic arts he practiced.

This person is extremely bloodthirsty.

He just wanted to get his hands on the meteorite first, and then slowly torture and kill Jiang Yun in front of him.

Fang Zhihong clenched his fist, sneered, and instantly followed. His speed was remarkable; even with Jiang Yun's lightning power, he could keep up.

Then, he struck Jiang Yun from behind with a palm.

The palm technique he practiced was extremely domineering. Seeing that he could no longer dodge, Jiang Yun simply stopped dodging, took a deep breath, gathered the power of thunder in his right fist, and unleashed a punch that poured out the power of thunder within his body.

This punch collided instantly with Fang Zhihong's palm.

boom!
The power of thunder scattered in all directions.

Jiang Yun was blasted back several steps by the power of the palm strike, and Fang Zhihong was not much better off.

Although he stood still, he hid his right hand behind his back. His hand was burned by the power of lightning and was trembling.

Fang Zhihong endured the pain in his hand, gritting his teeth, and thought to himself that Jiang Yun's strength was much greater than he had expected...

Jiang Yun was knocked back several steps, and his right hand was throbbing with pain. He took a deep breath, gave Fang Zhihong a long look, and then quickly turned and left.

If it were just Fang Zhihong, Jiang Yun thought he might be able to handle him.

But there's still Shan Tiangang, who could break free of his restraints at any moment.

We can't let this drag on.

Just as Fang Zhihong was about to give chase, a cane suddenly flew towards him at lightning speed. He quickly dodged it and Xiang Yisheng slowly emerged from the black aura, his eyes filled with intense killing intent as he stared at Fang Zhihong.

"Our Xiang family has been passed down for so many years and has never experienced such a massacre. You demon, you are truly ignorant of your own limitations!"

"You dare to return to my Xiang family? Today, no matter what, we will not let you leave again!"

Fang Zhihong cursed inwardly, "This old bastard, he thinks he can bully me just because I'm only at the second rank? Why doesn't he dare to cause trouble for Shan Tiangang?"

Despite cursing in his heart, he remained expressionless and said coldly, "Looks like I didn't kill enough people when I came a few days ago, leaving so many people for your Xiang family."

"I don't have time to play with you guys right now. Once I find the meteorite, I'll slowly kill every last member of the Xiang family!" After saying that, Fang Zhihong was about to chase after Jiang Yun when Xiang Yisheng's expression hardened. He raised his hand, and the cane instantly flew back into his hand.

Then, Xiang Yisheng gently twisted the cane, and it made a crisp sound. Inside the cane, there was a sharp sword hidden.

Although Xiang Yisheng was old, his cultivation was extremely profound. In an instant, he swung his sword energy at Fang Zhihong and attacked. The massive sword energy even dispersed a lot of the surrounding black evil energy.

Several sword energies attacked, and Fang Zhihong could tell that the old man was quite strong, so he didn't dare to take them head-on. He could only keep dodging and avoiding the attacks of these sword energies.

It should be noted that members of the Xiang family generally have a significant advantage within the same realm.

The cultivation technique they practiced was left behind by the Xiang family patriarch; it was a top-tier technique that could lead to the Saint Realm.

What ordinary cultivator's techniques are this good?
"Eight swords return to one!"

The sword energy that Xiang Yisheng wielded instantly attacked Fang Zhihong from eight directions.

There was simply no way to avoid it.

Fang Zhihong's expression changed slightly. After exchanging blows, he also discovered that this old man's strength was much greater than he had imagined.

As countless sword energies attacked, Fang Zhihong instantly clasped his hands together and shouted, "Demon Split Palm!"

He waved his hands continuously, unleashing palm prints formed from powerful magic to block the sword energy coming from all directions.

The powerful fluctuations of magic energy completely dissipated the demonic energy within the entire courtyard.

Unexpectedly, at that very moment, Fang Zhihong suddenly felt something strange coming from above his head.

He looked up and saw that Xiang Huang had suddenly descended from the sky, thrusting his sword towards his celestial spirit.

At the same time, Xiang Yisheng had already closed in, blocking his escape route.

Fang Zhihong was experienced and knew very well that if these two managed to launch a successful attack, he would likely be seriously injured, if not killed.

Oops……

Trapped by these two second-grade experts from the Xiang family, it would be very difficult to survive.

Fortunately, at this moment, Shan Tiangang had broken free from the restraints of the Seven Edicts and was preparing to chase after Jiang Yun, who had jumped over the wall. However, when he turned his head, he realized that Fang Zhihong was in a bad situation.

Should we continue pursuing Jiang Yun, or rescue Fang Zhihong?

this is a problem.

In the past, this problem would not have been even within Shan Tiangang's consideration.

He would hunt down Jiang Yun without hesitation, and what did it matter to him whether Fang Zhihong, his so-called companion, lived or died?

But things are different now.

After following Ye Xiuyuan, he became quite impressed with some of Ye Xiuyuan's methods.

He also knew that Ye Xiuyuan had chosen Zhong Fangzhihong for some special reasons, as there were quite a few experts at the second-grade level.

Why pick Fang Zhihong of all people?
Ye Xiuyuan had his own special considerations.

Fang Zhihong cannot die in this place.

Thinking of this, Shan Tiangang's eyes darkened, and without further hesitation, he rushed towards Fang Zhihong to rescue him.

Dan Tiangang, wielding a large sword, rushed forward and slashed fiercely at Yi Sheng.

Seeing this, Xiang Yisheng had no choice but to give up attacking Fang Zhihong and defend with his sword.

However, Shan Tiangang's slash was extremely powerful. With one strike, Xiang Yisheng's longsword was instantly shattered, and the broadsword also severed Xiang Yisheng's right arm.

Shan Tiangang's powerful magic was something Xiang Yisheng simply couldn't withstand.

Blood gushed from Xiang Yisheng's right hand. Seeing this, Xiang Huang, who had attacked from the sky, quickly turned around and dared not continue his attack. He rushed to Xiang Yisheng's side and helped him retreat.

With red eyes, Shan Tiangang said in a deep voice, "If we keep you Xiang family members around, you'll probably cause trouble for my Demon Spirit Sect. We might as well kill you all today and save ourselves the trouble later."

"Haha, Brother Shan, I've said it before: if you don't nip the problem in the bud, it'll only cause trouble. We should have done this a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhihong's eyes gleamed slightly red, showing strong support for Shan Tiangang's words.

Dan Tiangang glared at Fang Zhihong: "Go and hunt down Jiang Yun. Make sure you get the stuff. I'll handle the people here."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhihong was somewhat disappointed. He could only forcibly suppress the bloodthirsty urge within him and took a deep breath: "Alright!"

Fang Zhihong was about to turn and leave.

Suddenly, a long, sharp sword descended from the sky, piercing in front of him and blocking his path.

Fang Zhihong and Shan Tiangang were both slightly taken aback.

From the distant rooftops, Xiang Hui's resentful voice rang out: "You two won't be leaving today. Stay and be buried with us."
