Catching Monsters

Chapter 751 Purple Gold Fist

The scene immediately fell silent.

Everyone present stared at Jiang Yun in disbelief.

Wu Tongzhan is a master of the seventh-grade Tendon Refining Realm. Not to mention in Tiger Head Escort Agency, he can be considered a top-notch master even in the martial arts world.

The reason why Tiger Head Escort Agency has been able to do such a large business, supporting hundreds of escorts and having a constant stream of business, is that bandits from all over the country give it some face. It is because Tiger Head Escort Agency has two experts at the seventh rank of the Tendon Refining Realm.

Yet this expert was knocked unconscious by Jiang Yun with a single punch.

Those present were utterly dumbfounded.

Guo Qingyi's eyes widened, somewhat dumbfounded.

Even Guo Chengnian, a seasoned veteran of the underworld, had his pupils shrink slightly.

He hadn't been able to discern what kind of boxing technique Jiang Yun had used. Wu Tongzhan had fallen so quickly that many people present hadn't even seen him clearly.

Of course, Jiang Yun didn't use any martial arts techniques to knock Wu Tongzhan unconscious.

Just kidding. Even though Jiang Yun's meridians are damaged and his injuries are not light, he is still a top expert in the first-grade realm. Even with the strength of his physical body, he can easily crush Wu Tongzhan.

"Brother Zeng's martial arts skills are indeed remarkable." After a long while, Guo Chengnian finally said this slowly, and then his eyes lit up slightly as he said, "If Brother Zeng is willing to teach martial arts at our Tiger Head Escort Agency, he can stay here as long as he wants."

"Golden Cheng".

"Here." Huang Jincheng, who was stunned by the scene before him, quickly responded when he heard the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) call him.

Guo Chengnian said in a deep voice, "Immediately arrange another place for Brother Zeng to stay."

"Yes."

Guo Chengnian naturally realized the immense value of Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun was still recovering from his injuries, yet he was able to easily knock Wu Tongzhan, a seventh-grade tendon refining cultivator, out of shape with a single punch. Based on Guo Chengnian's many years of experience in the martial world, his strength was probably at least that of a fifth-grade cultivator, or even a fourth-grade super expert.

Most importantly, Jiang Yun is so young...

Considering Jiang Yun's unusual attire previously.

Soon, Guo Chengnian guessed that Jiang Yun was probably a young master from a powerful family.

As for why he was seriously injured and almost lost his life, that was not something Guo Chengnian could continue to inquire about.

Right now, the most important thing is to learn some advanced techniques from this person.

Soon, Jiang Yun was reassigned to a quiet, secluded courtyard within the escort agency. Guo Chengnian noticed that Huang Jincheng was the person most familiar with Jiang Yun within the agency, and specially arranged for Huang Jincheng to run errands for Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun did not refuse, as having a private courtyard to rest in was naturally the best thing.

"Brother Zeng, are you satisfied with this courtyard?" Guo Chengnian asked with a smile.

Jiang Yun nodded: "Thank you, Chief Escort. I will prepare some pen and ink later and write down a martial arts method for you. You can practice according to it."

"Okay." Guo Chengnian agreed with a smile, then pointed to Huang Jincheng next to him: "If there's anything, just arrange for Huang Jincheng to handle it. If you need money, just let me know."

"Then Brother Zeng, please rest well. We won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, Guo Chengnian led Guo Qingyi out of the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, Guo Qingyi's face also showed a strange expression. She asked in a low voice, "Father, what exactly is Zeng Yunfan's identity? So young, yet he was able to knock Wu Tongzhan unconscious with a single punch... His strength must be at least a fifth-rank..."

"Alright," Guo Chengnian said slowly. "Since they don't want to talk about it, let's not press them. It's already good enough that they're willing to give us the cultivation technique."

“This Zeng Yunfan has an extraordinary background. He is probably in trouble now and is recuperating here. If we can form a good relationship with him, it will be of great benefit to our Tiger Head Escort Agency.”

"Mm." Guo Qingyi nodded.

Guo Chengnian looked Guo Qingyi up and down and frowned. "I'm telling you, don't dress so casually every day. You have no ladylike manners at all. Go buy a few dresses tomorrow. When you have time, come and sit in Young Master Zeng's courtyard more often."

Upon hearing this, Guo Qingyi's face showed a hint of anger. Having been in the martial world for quite some time, she could easily guess her father's thoughts. She glared at Guo Chengnian and said, "Father, what nonsense are you thinking now?"

"Never mind, never mind." Seeing Guo Qingyi's attitude, Guo Chengnian could only give up, gave an awkward smile, and then sighed.

He only had one daughter and didn't want to marry her off. He wanted to find a capable son-in-law, and Wu Tongzhan was a good candidate.

At such a young age, they have already reached the seventh rank. Their future achievements will certainly be remarkable.

However, after observation, Wu Tongzhan's character was not very good.

In addition, Guo Qingyi had no feelings for him, so Guo Chengnian never brought up the matter again.

Zeng Yunfan's current identity is quite remarkable. Even disregarding his identity, the strength he has demonstrated is truly astonishing.

It would be a great thing to recruit him into the escort agency as a son-in-law.

Unfortunately, Guo Qingyi was not willing.

……

"Holy crap, bro, really? You took down Wu Tongzhan with just one punch?"

In front of the stone table in the courtyard, Huang Jincheng placed a lot of writing implements in front of Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "His martial arts skills are just average."

After saying that, Jiang Yun picked up a pen and paper, thought for a moment, and then began to write down a boxing style called Purple Gold Fist.

He didn't know how powerful this fist technique was. It was a fist technique he had seen at the Embroidered Uniform Guard's office before, and he still remembered the general training method.

In just half an hour, Jiang Yun finished writing down the fist technique and the internal energy cultivation method to be practiced. After the ink dried, he handed the technique to Huang Jincheng and said, "This technique is called Purple Gold Fist. Take it to the chief镖头 (chief镖头, the head镖师) and see if he is satisfied."

"I also need to trouble you to deliver a letter to the Sanqing Temple in the capital."

After saying that, Jiang Yun quickly wrote a letter, sealed it, and handed it to Huang Jincheng.

Upon hearing this, Huang Jincheng patted his chest with a smile and said, "Don't worry, our escort agency has its own mail delivery service. We'll send a bodyguard to personally deliver it to the capital."

After saying this, Jiang Yun went back inside to rest, while Huang Jincheng took the letter and the Purple Gold Fist and went to the hall where Guo Chengnian was.

Huang Jincheng: "Chief镖头, it's written."

Guo Chengnian was somewhat surprised: "So fast?"

Guo Chengnian was slightly taken aback, then accepted the fist technique handed to him by Jiang Yun: "Purple Gold Fist?"

Upon seeing the name, his expression immediately changed, and he was somewhat shocked: "How could Zeng Yunfan know this boxing style?" Seeing the surprise on Guo Chengnian's face, Huang Jincheng, who was standing to the side, also asked curiously: "Chief镖头, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this technique?"

"What do you know?" Guo Chengnian's eyes were filled with excitement as he said in a deep voice, "This Purple Gold Fist was created more than eighty years ago by a master of fist techniques. It is said that this person's cultivation had reached the terrifying second rank."

"However, after mastering the Purple Gold Fist, this person felt invincible and went to the capital to challenge the many masters there."

Huang Jincheng listened with great interest: "And then?"

Guo Chengnian: "Then he disappeared without a trace..."

“There are countless experts in the capital. Even if this expert has reached the second rank, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to win.”

At this point, Guo Chengnian's eyes gleamed, and he held the purple-gold fist, seemingly reluctant to put it down.

This is a unique skill of a second-grade master. For a small escort agency like theirs, it would be absolutely impossible to obtain such a precious fist technique unless there were special circumstances.

Who exactly is Zeng Yunfan? How could he possess such a valuable item?

Furthermore, based on Guo Chengnian's experience in the martial arts world, the fact that Zeng Yunfan was willing to give this item to them suggests that his own cultivation techniques are probably even better than this.

"Oh, right, Chief Escort, there's one more thing. Zeng Yunfan said he wanted to deliver a letter." Huang Jincheng took out the letter.

"Deliver a letter? Deliver it to where?" Guo Chengnian's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, as long as he knew where Zeng Yunfan wanted to send the letter.

It wouldn't be difficult to guess Zeng Yunfan's true identity.

Huang Jincheng: "The capital city, the Sanqing Temple."

Upon hearing this, Guo Chengnian frowned slightly and asked incredulously, "The capital? The Sanqing Temple?"

Seeing the chief镖头's surprised expression, Huang Jincheng scratched his head in confusion.

Guo Chengnian quickly retrieved the wanted poster from the hall, and looking at the wanted criminal on it, a look of shock appeared on his face: "Could it be! Could it be!"

As the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) of the Tiger Head Escort Agency, Guo Chengnian naturally had far more experience and knowledge than others.

He had also heard that Jiang Yun, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, had no other hobbies but liked to open Taoist temples, and had opened many Sanqing Temples in the capital.

Due to the suppression of Taoism by the laws of the Zhou state for many years, the Sanqing Temple, which suddenly emerged in the capital, was promoted by many merchants who came to the capital.

It also has a reputation outside of the capital.

A young genius with unfathomable strength, severely injured and unconscious, conceals his identity and is about to deliver a letter to the Sanqing Temple.

Coincidentally, that commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is also now wanted by the authorities...

Connecting these clues, a seasoned veteran like Guo Chengnian could quickly deduce Zeng Yunfan's identity...

"Alright, take this letter to Huang Teng and have him make the trip himself. Also, this matter must be kept secret; no one is allowed to leak it." Guo Chengnian's mouth was a little dry, so he swallowed and thought for a moment before reminding him, "Once we get to the Sanqing Temple, have Huang Teng use the back door. Make sure no one follows us."

"do you know?"

"Understood." Huang Jincheng looked at the chief镖头's expression, which was both excited and nervous, and was a little confused.

Huang Jincheng was a simple-minded person with few thoughts, and he quickly left to take care of his business.

Clenching his purple-gold fist further confirmed Guo Chengnian's idea.

Guo Chengnian took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming. If Zeng Yunfan really was Jiang Yun, the wanted criminal…

that……

……

"hiss."

Wu Tongzhan, who was lying in bed, slowly woke up, rubbed his head, and then sat up abruptly. He looked around and realized he was sleeping in his own room.

He quickly recalled it in his mind.

I think I was knocked unconscious by Zeng Yunfan with a single punch.

Thinking of this, Wu Tongzhan's face darkened. Damn it!

Zeng Yunfan did it on purpose!
They were clearly stronger than me, but deliberately kept a low profile, just so they could suddenly launch a sneak attack!
If I had taken precautions beforehand, how could I have failed to withstand even one of his punches?

Thinking of this, Wu Tongzhan hurriedly went out the door and walked quickly towards the main hall of the escort agency. He needed to get the head镖师 (chief escort) to arrange for him to have another good fight with this guy.

If I don't fight it out properly, how will I be able to maintain my position in Tiger Head Escort Agency in the future?

How should others perceive me?
Soon, he arrived in the hall and saw Guo Chengnian sitting inside, looking at the Purple Gold Fist in his hand as if it were a treasure.

Hearing footsteps, Guo Chengnian looked up and saw Wu Tongzhan. He quickly put away his Purple Gold Fist: "Awake?"

Wu Tongzhan said in a deep voice, "Chief镖头, Zeng Yunfan suddenly attacked just now. I wasn't prepared and he knocked me unconscious unexpectedly. I have to fight him again."

Hearing Wu Tongzhan's words, Guo Chengnian calmly took a sip of tea and slowly said, "Wu Tongzhan, don't be foolish. Zeng Yunfan is quite powerful and not someone you can mess with."

Wu Tongzhan was slightly taken aback and wanted to say something in his defense, but Guo Chengnian raised his hand and said, "Alright, Wu Tongzhan, there is a caravan to escort tomorrow. You take the brothers and go first."

After guessing Zeng Yunfan's identity, Guo Chengnian saw that Wu Tongzhan was still stubborn and insisted on causing trouble for Zeng Yunfan.

Wu Tongzhan had worked under him for two or three years, and he knew Wu Tongzhan's personality very well. Simply offering a few words of advice would have no effect on Wu Tongzhan.

Right now, the best course of action is to arrange for him to leave the escort agency to avoid a bigger conflict with Zeng Yunfan.

Wu Tongzhan took a deep breath. He had been suppressing his dissatisfaction, but now he couldn't hold back any longer. He asked, "Chief镖头, when can we finalize my marriage with Guo Qingyi?"

Guo Chengnian frowned and slowly said, "Wu Tongzhan, although Qingyi is my daughter, she doesn't like you."

"I told you years ago that once you and she get to know each other and she falls in love with you, I can arrange your marriage at any time."

Wu Tongzhan said in a deep voice, "It's a marriage arranged by parents and matchmakers. What right does a woman have to agree or disagree? In my opinion, the chief镖头 (chief镖头, a term for a bodyguard/escort) might be thinking of going back on his word?"

Guo Chengnian's lips twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "I, Guo Chengnian, have been in the martial arts world for many years. When have I ever gone back on my word?"

"But when you joined Tiger Head Escort Agency, I said that whether Qingyi marries you or not is up to Qingyi herself."

Hearing this, Wu Tongzhan was speechless. He had been quite confident, believing in his own abilities and talent.

Any woman, after spending a little more time with you, will like you.

So he did indeed agree to that back then.
