Catching Monsters

Chapter 630 Not So Easy to Kill
"father!"

Xiang Yeyun, who was in the courtyard, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father appear.

Xiang Hui's face was gloomy as he looked at the corpses lying in the more than seventy coffins in his yard. He clenched his fists, and the hatred of having his entire family almost slaughtered rose up.

It's important to know that it wasn't just Xiang Hui's wife who died, but also his other brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces.

There are also many talented and qualified younger members of the Xiang family.

This is all part of the future of the Xiang family!
They were all killed by those two bastards.

Meanwhile, Shan Tiangang and Fang Zhihong below also changed their expressions. According to their inquiries, Xiang Hui had stayed in the capital and had not returned.
How did they suddenly appear here?

In fact, Xiang Hui did set off a little later than Jiang Yun, but after dealing with some matters concerning the Xiang family in the capital, he rushed back without stopping.

However, he kept his return a secret from everyone, including Xiang Yeyun.

He knew that if Jiang Yun wasn't the real culprit, and the real culprit found out about his return, the culprit would probably have to escape.

The world is vast, and it would be difficult to find it again.

Unexpectedly, the real culprit was so audacious that he actually dared to come back and cause trouble.

"It looks like we won't be able to retrieve the meteorite this time," Fang Zhihong muttered to himself.

"You still have the mind to think about the meteorite?" Shan Tiangang couldn't help but glare at Fang Zhihong, then took a deep breath and said, "We should be thinking about how to escape from Xiang Hui."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhihong realized that this was not a problem he needed to consider at the moment. He knew that Xiang Hui's main focus was on launching a fierce attack on Shan Tiangang.

All he had to do was figure out how to escape from Xiang Huang and Xiang Yisheng.

Comparatively speaking, Xiang Yisheng's right arm had been severed at this point, and it was essentially useless.

A single spring cannot stop oneself.

Fang Zhihong and Shan Tiangang exchanged a glance. The two seemed to be in sync and rushed off in opposite directions, one to the left and one to the right, trying to escape the Xiang residence.

At this moment, Xiang Hui's eyes were filled with intense killing intent. How could he let these two escape so easily?

Xiang Hui leaped into the air, and in an instant, the green-edged longsword stuck in the ground flew into his hand. He then charged directly at Shan Tiangang.

Dan Tiangang's face darkened. He turned around and said coldly, "Xiang Hui, don't think I'm afraid of you. If I were to fight you here, your Xiang family mansion would be destroyed."

Xiang Hui had no intention of wasting words with Shan Tiangang. He had already arrived in front of Shan Tiangang. Now, so many people from their Xiang family had been killed by these two.

As long as I can get revenge, what does it matter if I fight and destroy half of Yanzhou City?

An incredibly powerful sword aura descended from the sky. This sword aura, radiating a blue light, was over twenty meters long and possessed the power to split mountains.

Dan Tiangang took a deep breath and dared not continue to flee. When a master like Xiang Hui went berserk, continuing to run away headfirst would only expose his back to the opponent.

The large, black sword in his hand also began to gleam with a black light.

He met the sword's aura head-on and raised his hand to parry it with a slash.

boom!
The ground trembled from the powerful collision of magical forces, and the houses near the mansion shook violently from the strong shockwave.

A large number of tiles on the eaves were blown off.

Xiang Huifei, hovering in mid-air, knew that this ordinary sword energy could not harm Shan Tiangang's life. He tossed up the green sword in his hand and said in a deep voice, "The sword moves with the will, and the will follows the heart."

"The sword pierces the heavens."

In an instant, countless invisible sword energies surged forth from the green-bladed longsword, densely packed and heading towards Shan Tiangang.

Each wisp of sword energy could easily pierce the hardest steel, let alone Shan Tiangang.

If a mere mortal were to be struck by a sword aura, they would likely be decapitated.

Dan Tiangang was no ordinary person either. A black, crystal-clear pebble, about the size of an egg, appeared in his hand.

He crushed the pebble with force, and in an instant, a protective barrier appeared around him, shielding him inside.

In an instant, countless sword energies pierced fiercely into this not-so-large barrier.

The crisp sound of sword energy attacking the barrier echoed from all directions.

Dan Tiangang gritted his teeth slightly and looked up. Damn it!

This was a priceless treasure that Shan Tiangang used for self-protection, yet he used it here.

But we can't do without it!
Judging from Xiang Hui's posture, it was clear that he was determined to fight him to the death.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhihong's situation wasn't much better.

Xiang Huang and Xiang Yisheng are different.

Xiang Huang is young and strong, and his strength is far superior to Xiang Yisheng's.

At this moment, Xiang Huang saw that Fang Zhihong, the real culprit who killed the Xiang family, was about to escape, so he also gave chase.

Fang Zhihong's Demonic Split Palm was fierce and domineering, and Xiang Huang did not dare to take a direct hit from it.

The two fought and retreated, and sweat beaded on Fang Zhihong's forehead.

He had already fled to the street outside, thinking he could escape in the chaos, but apart from many members of the Xiang family constantly arriving, there were no other passersby on the street.

These members of the Xiang family had varying levels of cultivation; although none were at the second rank, there were two at the third rank.

Xiang Huang also knew that Fang Zhihong's strength and cultivation were not bad. If he were to forcibly keep him, he would probably be in considerable danger.

So it just kept depleting Fang Zhihong's magic power and strength, while countless Xiang family disciples followed from all directions.

Once Fang Zhihong's magical power is exhausted, they can swarm him and capture him.

Fang Zhihong took a deep breath, knowing that the situation was extremely unfavorable to him.

Damn it, Shan Tiangang only had Xiang Hui chasing after him.

How did I end up surrounded by so many people? No, I must take Xiang Huang's life, or at the very least, severely injure him, before I can have a chance to escape.

Just as Xiang Huang unleashed another barrage of sword beams towards him, he realized that...

The sword was aimed at Fang Zhihong's chest.

To Xiang Huang's surprise, Fang Zhihong neither dodged nor evaded, and took the blow head-on.

With a soft thud, the sword pierced Fang Zhihong's chest smoothly.

A ruthless glint flashed in Fang Zhihong's eyes. Enduring the sharp pain in his chest, he raised his hand and struck Huang's chest with all his might.

Oops!

This guy deliberately took a hit from his own sword...

Before Xiang Huang realized what was happening, the Demonic Crack Palm had already slammed into his chest.

In an instant, the powerful force sent Xiang Huang flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

"puff."

Xiang Huang spat out a mouthful of blood as the powerful demonic energy entered his body through that palm strike.

He had no time to think further and hurriedly sat cross-legged to forcefully suppress the demonic energy within his body using his magical power.

This demonic aura is quite powerful against cultivators. If he doesn't suppress it now, his meridians and even his flesh will soon be eroded by the demonic aura.

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Fang Zhihong reluctantly pulled the long sword from his chest and quickly turned to flee. At this moment, the Xiang family members who were watching rushed up to block his way.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Fang Zhihong, his eyes red, roared loudly.

The Xiang family members who blocked his path, though far weaker than him, did not retreat. Instead, they wielded weapons and swiftly attacked Fang Zhihong.

Xiang Huang watched as Fang Zhihong killed a member of the Xiang family with a single palm strike, then quickly broke through the crowd and escaped.

The other members of the Xiang family also followed in single file.

Meanwhile, Xiang Hui, noticing the unusual nature of Shan Tiangang's protective magic weapon, unleashed wave after wave of sword energy, attempting to break through the tortoise shell.

Dan Tiangang took a deep breath, looked at Xiang Hui above, and said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Xiang, it was not me who slaughtered your entire family, but that Fang Zhihong just now!"

"That old guy is very resourceful and cunning. You'd better go and deal with him quickly."

I can't take it anymore!
Xiang Hui has gone mad; he's lost his mind and is trying to fight himself to the death.

Even Shan Tiangang could sense that Xiang Hui's eyes had turned red, and he was willing to trade his life for his own.

Xiang Hui would not hesitate.

In this situation, what's the point of even fighting?

The other side doesn't care about their lives, but Shan Tiangang does!
He not only wanted it, but he also valued his life highly.

Dan Tiangang took a deep breath, knowing that this couldn't continue indefinitely.

If Fang Zhihong is captured, I, trapped in this barrier, will likely lose my life sooner or later.

Damn!

I knew the Xiang family was not someone to mess with...

The Xiang family's swordsmanship was even more terrifying than I had imagined.

Thinking of this, after Xiang Hui's attack, Shan Tiangang simply removed his protective barrier and switched to offense as defense.

He gripped his long sword and charged directly at Hui.

"I will fight with you!"

Seeing this, Xiang Hui unleashed a sword technique: "Sword Qi Unite!"

In an instant, all the sword energy swirled and converged into Xiang Hui's fingertips.

With a flick of his finger, Xiang Hui unleashed a torrent of powerful sword energy that hurtled toward Shan Tiangang's chest.

Dan Tiangang raised his broadsword high, emanating a terrifying demonic aura.

A wave of the hand.

boom!
Far away, Jiang Yun was hiding and watching the battle unfold in the distance, where powerful magical forces clashed.

It almost knocked Jiang Yun off the ground.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but gasp. Damn, these two guys are really terrifyingly strong.

Even the First-Grade Realm is like this...

The immense power sent Shan Tiangang flying backward, but he used the force to escape into the distance.

Seeing this, Xiang Hui's eyes turned red. He was not about to let him escape so easily, and chased after him at top speed.

"My lord, my lord, how's the fighting over there going?"

Qi Da's voice came from under the eaves of Jiang Yun's house.

Qi Da and a group of Imperial Guards were staying in this inn far from the Xiang residence.

The sheer magical power emanating from the battle in the distance was terrifying.

Jiang Yun shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's still unclear, but this Shan Tiangang probably won't be so easy to kill. What a pity."
