Catching Monsters

Chapter 654 Can Only Be Guessed
Luo Fang's movements were swift and sharp, without any unnecessary actions.

However, Shan Tiangang had been traveling the martial world for many years and had exceptionally rich combat experience. The moment Luo Fang thrust out his blade, he dodged to the side.

When he tried to draw his sword to continue his attack on Luo Fang, he discovered that he couldn't move his sword.

His gaze fell upon the blade that had been aimed at the man's left-hand shield, which was now firmly stuck to the ground.

Furthermore, Shan Tiangang also sensed that the power emanating from this guy's left hand was extremely unfamiliar.

Although it resembles demonic energy, it is not demonic energy.

It was a power I had never seen before.

This power was filled with a chilling aura, and at this moment, this power, along with the broadsword, quickly came into contact with his palm.

Upon first contact, Shan Tiangang felt the suffocating chill.

He quickly released his grip on the broadsword, dodging the strange force.

But just as he took a few steps back, Xiang Hui swung his sword at him.

"The sword energy is everywhere!"

The sharp sword energy instantly pierced through Shan Tiangang's chest. Even though Shan Tiangang quickly mobilized his magic power to protect himself, he was unable to prevent these sword energies from damaging his internal organs.

However, a long wound remained on his chest, from which blood continued to gush out.

Dan Tiangang stumbled backward, retreating back to Ye Xiuyuan's side.

Fang Zhihong was in no better condition; he was seriously injured and barely managed to pull himself out of bed.

"Luo Fang".

Upon seeing the newcomers, Ye Xiuyuan frowned slightly, realizing that the people from the Demon-Catching Bureau had arrived.

"Mr. Ye, what should we do?" Shan Tiangang asked in a deep voice, clutching his wound that was still bleeding bright red blood.

Dan Tiangang could tell that Luo Fang, whom Mr. Ye had mentioned, was also quite powerful.

Xiang Hui, Xiang Huang, and others are also eyeing the situation covetously.

Not far away, Jiang Yun was also watching.

It would be difficult for him and Fang Zhihong alone to protect Ye Xiuyuan's safety.

Suddenly, Ye Xiuyuan pulled out a dagger and swiftly stabbed it into his heart.

With a soft thud, the dagger plunged deep into his heart.

"Mr. Ye!" Shan Tiangang shouted hurriedly upon seeing this scene.

Upon seeing this, Luo Fang's expression changed. He took out the Bagua compass given to him by Liu Boqing, rushed forward, and threw the Bagua compass.

The Bagua compass, suspended in mid-air, instantly transformed into a Bagua diagram, hovering and swirling above Ye Xiuyuan and the others.

Ye Xiuyuan took a deep breath, gripped Shan Tiangang's wrist tightly, and said, "Quick, destroy this magic array! Then find a way to survive!"

This physical body has become a shackle; to escape, one must break free from it.

Soon, Ye Xiuyuan's body slowly collapsed to the ground, and a black gas emerged from his body.

At the same time, the Bagua pattern above emitted a powerful attraction, as if trying to completely suck him in.

Upon seeing this, Shan Tiangang's eyes hardened, and he gritted his teeth: "Chizha Bajiquan!"

Dan Tiangang soared into the sky, carrying immense demonic energy, and slammed violently into the Bagua pattern above.

With tremendous force, a deafening boom was heard, and the magic array above trembled instantly. Finally, the Bagua compass was instantly knocked back to its original shape, flying out and crashing heavily to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, the black mist that Ye Xiuyuan had transformed into instantly burrowed into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

"Oh no!" Luo Fang rushed forward to stop them, but it was too late.

Dan Tiangang, exhausted after the battle, fell from mid-air, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Fang Hongzhi was completely powerless to resist. Soon, a large number of Xiang family experts rushed over and quickly captured the two of them.

"Damn it!" Luo Fang frowned. He hadn't expected Ye Xiuyuan to escape using such methods.

"Ran?"

Sun Xiaopeng, Mao Dacai, Ai Tangtang, and Yunhai all rushed to the ruins.

Luo Fang quickly retrieved the Bagua compass that Liu Boqing had given him, and then began to carefully search Ye Xiuyuan's body.

After searching for a while, they finally found two meteorites on Ye Xiuyuan's body. This trip wasn't entirely fruitless; although it got away, at least they got two meteorites.

Luo Fang's expression darkened, and he said to Sun Xiaopeng beside him, "Let's go back and tell Mr. Liu about the situation here."

Xiang Hui watched as Luo Fang took away the two meteorites, but did not stop him. Instead, he said, "Thank you for your help, brother."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Fang had already left without looking back, showing no intention of paying any attention to Xiang Hui.

Xiang Hui was a little embarrassed for a moment. Sun Xiaopeng, who was standing next to him, smiled and explained, "That's just how he is. He always has a cold face. Don't mind him."

"We have other things to attend to, so we'll take our leave."

Seeing this, Xiang Hui didn't take it to heart. The main thing to deal with right now was Shan Tiangang and Fang Zhihong, the two murderers who killed his whole family.

"Seal their magical powers, take them back to Yanzhou City, and execute them in public!" Xiang Hui announced loudly.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, everyone present readily agreed.

Jiang Yun slowly walked onto the ruins. Xiang Hui saw this and said, "We were able to capture these two thanks to your information."

"You've avenged the Xiang family and done a good deed. Our previous grudges and hatred can be considered wiped clean," Xiang Hui said calmly.

Jiang Yun's gaze fell on Shan Tiangang, but he wasn't doing this to avenge the Xiang family.

He stepped forward, grabbed Shan Tiangang's collar tightly, and said coldly, "Why did you kill Eunuch Feng?"

With blood and foam at his mouth, Shan Tiangang gave a cold laugh and said, "Naive. Do I, a demonic cultivator, need a reason to kill someone?"

"If you've killed me, then kill me. If you're so capable, then give me a quick death."

Xiang Hui spoke up at this moment: "We captured them, we can't just kill them like this."

Nonsense. How could I let this guy die so easily after killing my wife and wiping out my family?

……

At Yunluo Inn, Liu Boqing sat at a table, drinking tea. On the table in front of him were two meteorites.

As for Luo Fang, Sun Xiaopeng, Ai Tangtang, Yun Hai, and Mao Dacai, they stood somewhat dejectedly in front of him.

“Mr. Liu, it’s my responsibility. That guy got away,” Luo Fang said in a deep voice.

Yunhai, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "This isn't Luo Fang's fault; we were all quite far apart at the time."

"After Ye Xiuyuan recognized Luo Fang's identity, he immediately committed suicide and then turned into a wisp of black smoke to escape."

"We haven't even had time to get close yet."

Liu Boqing showed no sign of blame. He waved his hand, gesturing for the others to sit down, and said, "Alright, I never thought we could eliminate Bai Shuiqing so easily."

"Getting two meteorites this time is quite a haul."

"Tomorrow, we'll see whether you or I go personally to deliver these two meteorites to Jiang Yun."

"Give it to Jiang Yun again?" Sun Xiaopeng frowned and muttered, "Mr. Liu, we spent countless efforts to obtain these meteorites these days."

"Why give it to that kid Jiang Yun?"

Liu Boqing said slowly, "That kid is a person with good fortune."

"He might be the one who is finally able to collect all the meteorites."

"What if he doesn't want to hand over the meteorites after he's collected them all?" Cat Da Cai frowned and said, "That guy isn't someone who's easy to fool."

“He had no way to use it; even with seven meteorites, it was useless,” Liu Boqing shook his head.

"Just listen to Mr. Liu," said Monk Yunhai, holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand.

Yunhai was clearly the leader among them, and since he spoke, the others naturally had no objections.

Monk Yunhai asked, "If we've given all these meteorites to Jiang Yun, what should we do next?"

"What's next?" Liu Boqing looked thoughtful, seemingly pondering something, before finally saying, "Next, all we can do is wait for the last meteorite to appear."

Sun Xiaopeng asked, "Mr. Liu, it's said you can predict the future, so why can't you figure it out...?"

Liu Boqing shook his head and sighed, "I've long lost the ability to predict the future, otherwise, would I still need to wait for the last meteorite to appear?"

"I don't know what will happen next. I can only guess at many things."
