Catching Monsters

Chapter 720 Besides your Dragon Clan, who else is there?
"Lord Fox Saint has awakened!"

"Lord Fox Saint has awakened!"

Seeing this scene, Hu Xinglan felt that most of his serious injuries had healed, and he was moved to tears.

The fox clan's hopes of so many years have finally been realized in our hands; we have awakened the Fox Saint!
boom!
The enormous nine-tailed white fox held Chang Xiaoyu's true form tightly in its jaws and slammed it hard onto the reef.

Then, he stood lightly on the sea surface, tilted his head back, and let out a fox-like cry.

The demonic aura emanating from her body grew increasingly intense, her face contorted in a ferocious and terrifying manner as she stared intently at Chang Xiaoyu.

The two demon saints clearly had a deep-seated blood feud. When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with hatred. In an instant, the sound of their fierce battle echoed throughout the sea.

Hu Xinglan hurriedly fled into the distance. With two demon saints fighting desperately, it would be extremely dangerous to remain nearby.

……

Changling City of the Serpent Clan.

At this moment, flames raged throughout Changling City, and the fourteen experts of Tongyou Guard were hunting snake demons on the rooftops of Changling City.

The entire city of Changling was in complete chaos at this time.

Within the city, there are not only snake-like monsters or human slaves.

These demons and slaves scattered and fled amidst the towering flames.

At this moment, Jiang Yun's body was also stained with a lot of snake demon blood. Looking at Changling City, which was engulfed in flames, he knew in his heart that even if many snake demons escaped after this battle, the snake clan would probably suffer heavy losses.

He took a deep breath, glanced at the time, leaped across the rooftops, rushed through the flames, and quickly found Qin Hong by the street.

Qin Hong's right arm and his entire body were covered in the snake demon's blood.

"Eunuch Qin, that's enough." As Jiang Yun landed beside Qin Hong, Qin Hong had just killed a snake demon. Jiang Yun reminded him, "If we stay any longer, and the Snake Saint returns, we might not be able to leave."

Hearing Jiang Yun's reminder, Qin Hong took a deep breath and suppressed his killing intent.

Qin Hong took a deep breath, glanced around, and said, "Wait, we need to take those four elders of the Snake Clan back to report."

Jiang Yun nodded and stood up.

Chang Kun, Chang Qing, and the other three snake clan elders were killed by the Tongyou Guards when they first attacked Changling City.

The body was also stored in a tenement.

Soon, after counting the corpses of the four snake demons, Jiang Yun waved the Three Pure Ones Fist in his hand and instantly swept up the four corpses.

Qin Hong also took out a simple firework from his pocket.

boom.

The light from this firework was blue.

It was also a signal to retreat.

Jiang Yun and Qin Hong quickly headed towards the outside of Changling City.

Soon, they arrived at the place where they had gathered earlier.

Qin Hong looked at Black Snake, Master Lingxin, and the others, and after counting the number of people, said, "Is everyone alright?"

Black Serpent: "Eunuch Qin underestimates us. In Changling City, without the Serpent Saint, the strongest are only four elders."

"We wiped out those four snake clan elders from the very beginning."

"The other snake demons are nothing more than prey for us to slaughter."

Upon hearing this, Master Lingxin put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the killing we have committed today is no small matter."

The black snake blinked and said jokingly, "Master Lingxin, how can the matter of slaying demons and eliminating evil be described as slaughter? You must have killed quite a few snake demons today."

Master Lingxin's lips moved slightly, but he could not utter a word.

"Alright, this isn't the place to talk." Qin Hong looked at Chang Lingcheng.

The entire demon city had been largely consumed by flames.

"Let's go back and report to His Majesty."

……

The people of Hongjiang Prefecture are suffering now.

First, the snake demon slaughtered countless families, killing daughters, wives, and mothers of children.

Finally, in recent days, officials from the imperial court arrived to reassure the people and proclaim that the court would not stand idly by in this matter.

Furthermore, the imperial court would provide a compensation of twenty taels of silver to any family whose women were killed by demons.

If someone testifies that the person died fighting against demons, the compensation will be several times higher.

The people of Hongjiang Prefecture felt a little better because of the imperial court's good deed.

Unexpectedly, tonight, there was a sudden thunderstorm overseas.

At sea, the earth-shattering roar of the fox continued to echo.

Immediately afterwards, towering waves swept towards Hongjiang Prefecture.

On the sea, many of the snake scales on Chang Xiaoyu's body had been bitten through.

Fox Saint Hu Yao's condition was not much better; blood was flowing from many parts of her fur.

"Hu Yao, I didn't expect you to be so lucky. If you had woken up a little later, I would have been able to get rid of you easily." Chang Xiaoyu's voice was icy.

At this moment, Hu Yao also spoke slowly, her voice ethereal: "Chang Xiaoyu, two thousand years ago, you should have died by my hand. If Ao Tianyu hadn't stepped in and said that we should unite against the common enemy and destroy the Confucian sage first, how could you have survived until now?"

After saying this, Hu Yao frowned deeply because she could clearly hear the shouts coming from the people in Hongjiang Prefecture.

The raging floodwaters have already flowed into Hongjiang Prefecture.

In the instant she was distracted, Chang Xiaoyu suddenly opened her blood-red mouth and sprayed venom at her.

Hu Yao quickly dodged to the side, but a lot of venom still splashed onto its body.

“Interesting, interesting.” Chang Xiaoyu said slowly, “Hu Yao, you actually care about the lives of those humans? It seems that the more than ten years you’ve spent in the human world have influenced you.”

Hu Yao's heart sank. Strictly speaking, at this moment, Dongfang Yao's consciousness occupied the majority; otherwise, she wouldn't have cared about the lives of so many people in Hongjiang Prefecture.

After all, Hongjiang Prefecture was where Dongfang Yao grew up and lived.

At that moment, from the distant Hongjiang Prefecture, cries and screams echoed in Hu Yao's ears. She immediately shook off Chang Xiaoyu and sped towards the direction of Hongjiang Prefecture.

A massive wave, nearly eight zhang high, is roaring towards the nearest dam to Hongjiang Prefecture.

Hu Yao landed on the embankment in an instant, exhaling a breath of demonic energy.

She easily deflected the huge wave, and then leaped up, transforming into human form.

In terms of appearance, Dongfang Yao is not much different from her previous stunning beauty, but her temperament has changed drastically.

She wore a long white dress and waved her hands. Instantly, the towering waves that had already engulfed the city were swept up by the powerful demonic energy.

Such methods are beyond those of ordinary people.

Chang Xiaoyu, who had followed from behind, looked at this scene with even greater disdain. How could a dignified Fox Saint care about the lives of these ants when fighting her?

Just as Chang Xiaoyu was about to make her move against Hu Yao in mid-air.

Suddenly, a strange bell sound rang out.

"who?"

Chang Xiaoyu looked toward the city wall of Hongjiang Prefecture not far away.

At this moment, on the city wall, a middle-aged man leaning on a cane and blindfolded sniffed the air expressionlessly and said, "Such a strong demonic aura." "If I'm not mistaken, you must be Chang Xiaoyu of the Snake Clan, right?"

Chang Xiaoyu stared at the other person. This person did not emit any magical power fluctuations, but his appearance was definitely not that of an ordinary person.

"who are you?"

The blind man slowly raised his head and said, "Sir, we had an agreement with Dragon Saint Ao Tianyu back then."

"It was one thing for you to let your snake clan men cause a ruckus in Hongjiang Prefecture some time ago, but now you want to start a fight here. That's breaking the rules."

Chang Xiaoyu snorted coldly, somewhat disdainfully: "Rules? I wasn't there when these so-called rules were made."

The blind man asked, "Does Your Excellency believe that our human race has no saints?"

After saying this, the blind man took his cane, twisted it gently, and with a crisp sound, the cane was pulled out, revealing a sharp longsword.

He then swung his sword, and the powerful sword energy of the Saint Realm instantly shattered the demonic clouds above Hongjiang Prefecture.

Chang Xiaoyu also dodged the sharp sword in an instant, but the next moment...

The blind man had already appeared above Chang Xiaoyu's head.

The tip of the sword was pressed against Chang Xiaoyu's head, as if the blind man could take Chang Xiaoyu's life with a single thrust.

However, the blind man did not make a move. Instead, he leaped up and flew back to the city wall, saying, "This is the rule. If you dare to encroach on the territory of Zhou again, the Confucian sage who failed to kill you two thousand years ago will kill you now."

He's spouting nonsense!

Chang Xiaoyu's eyes turned cold. This blind man really had a big mouth.

It should be noted that even the great Confucian sage of that time did not dare to claim that he could take his own life.

This guy……

However, Chang Xiaoyu calmed down considerably afterward, realizing that it was no longer possible for him to kill Hu Yao.

If he were to continue fighting Hu Yao to the death, with this blind man around, he would probably suffer losses as well.

Chang Xiaoyu slowly backed away, glanced coldly at the blind man, and then left.

Sensing the departure of this immense demonic energy, the blind man used his divine sense to observe Hu Yao in mid-air.

He said slowly, "That's quite interesting. A dignified demon saint cares so much about the lives of ordinary people."

After saying this, the blind man jumped off the city wall.

……

Chang Xiaoyu returned to Changling City with a huge amount of demonic energy and a grim expression. However, the scene before him when he arrived in Changling City enraged him.

"Who did this?"

The city of Changling was almost completely burned to ashes, with the corpses of snake demons scattered everywhere.

Chang Xiaoyu's face was extremely pale.

Soon, he used his divine sense to search and found snake demon corpses everywhere, as well as some lesser demons or human slaves hiding in various parts of the city.

Soon, Chang Xiaoyu quickly arrived at a courtyard.

Inside this courtyard, a little demon hid in fear, burying its head in the ground, afraid of being attacked by those guys who kill demons on sight.

Suddenly, he felt a large hand grab his collar and quickly pull him out of the ground.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

The monster closed its eyes and begged for mercy in terror, saying, "I don't know anything, and I'm not a member of the snake clan."

Soon, the monster slowly opened its eyes and saw Chang Xiaoyu in front of it.

He certainly didn't recognize the other party; he was just a demon merchant traveling throughout the demon kingdom with his goods.

Upon seeing Chang Xiaoyu appear, he was momentarily unsure of her identity.

"Who did this?" Chang Xiaoyu's voice was icy, filled with murderous intent.

The questioning monster felt as if the temperature around it had suddenly dropped significantly.

The little demon lowered his head and said, "My lord, I know nothing."

"I……"

Perhaps sensing the murderous intent in the other person's eyes, sweat beaded on his forehead, and he hurriedly said, "That's right, that's right! I remember now."

"I was in the inn, about to go to sleep, when I suddenly heard several dragon roars!"

"Then many experts descended from the sky and slaughtered the snake people everywhere. I was terrified."

"There are fires everywhere, and I dare not run around. What if I run into a murderer? Wouldn't I be done for?"

"So I hid in this courtyard..."

Upon hearing this, Chang Xiaoyu's eyes grew even colder: "Dragon's Roar? Are you sure?"

“How could this be false? I heard it clearly.”

Chang Xiaoyu struck out with her palm, instantly blasting the little demon into dust.

Chang Xiaoyu then quickly searched the city and found another target, another little demon.

After catching him, Chang Xiaoyu quickly asked him the question she had just asked.

But to my surprise, the answer I got was the same.

Several dragon roars resounded.

“Dragon Clan.” Chang Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes slightly, looked around, and said in a deep voice, “Ao Tianyu, Ao Tianyu, since I awoke, I have not yet sought revenge for your betrayal.”

"I never expected you to turn against my snake clan, nearly wiping us out!"

The demonic aura emanating from Chang Xiaoyu continued to rise.

Soon, he soared into the sky and sped towards the direction of Dragon Crystal City.

Before long, he flew up to the top of Dragon Crystal City and looked down at the Dragon Palace.

Without saying a word, he began to strike downwards with palm after palm.

The power of the demon saint instantly blasted the five palaces below into dust.

A dragon roar sounded.

"Chang Xiaoyu, have you gone mad?"

Ao Tianyu's voice slowly rang out. He put his hands behind his back and quickly flew over, glancing down at the Dragon Palace below.

In the Dragon Palace, many people suffered heavy casualties due to Chang Xiaoyu's sudden attack, and several ruins contained the remains of people from the Dragon Palace.

“Over the years, no one has dared to cause trouble in my Dragon Palace, but you, Chang Xiaoyu, are the first.”

Chang Xiaoyu, however, was not afraid at all, staring at Ao Tianyu: "Ao Tianyu, you have to give me an explanation first. You suddenly sent people to attack my snake clan while I was away."

"Attack your snake clan?" Ao Tianyu frowned slightly.

"Don't pretend you don't know." Chang Xiaoyu's eyes seemed to spit fire: "Go and see Changling City of our snake clan. It's been reduced to ruins!"

“In this world, there are very few people who dare to lay a hand on me, Chang Lingcheng, and you are one of them.”

"Moreover, many people heard the dragon's roar."

Chang Xiaoyu questioned, "Besides your dragon clan, who else is there?"
