Catching Monsters

Chapter 254 Hidden dangers
When she saw the person coming, Huyan Yaner's face suddenly changed, she recognized the other person.

This is the master beside Wanyan Chihu, named Wanyan Jin. It is said that he had broken through to the third-grade martial arts grandmaster level three months ago.

Huyan Yaner's face turned pale and she quickly took two steps back, wanting to distance herself from Jiang Yun and Linglong.

Wanyan Jin glanced at the three of them indifferently, and said to Huyan Yan'er: "These two people attacked Wanyan Yushan. It seems that this matter is not only related to Tuoba Anyi, but you are also involved."

Huyan Yan'er frowned and wanted to refute, but Wanyan Jin had no intention of listening to her explanation. He had two daggers on his waist, and he pulled out the daggers.

A powerful aura slowly emanated from his body.

Jiang Yun and Linglong looked at each other with serious expressions.

Jiang Yun asked in a low voice: "Master, do you still have a life-saving magic weapon in your hand?"

"Do you think I can't use up all the treasures on me?" Linglong glared at Jiang Yun, then whispered, "I do have some... but the remaining magic weapon is only enough for me to escape."

Once he left, Jiang Yun would be left with no way out.

Linglong glanced at Jiang Yun, took a deep breath and said: "Use your magic to control him and see if you can fight him..."

"If I really can't defeat my opponent, I will have to leave by myself."

Jiang Yun nodded solemnly, and in an instant, Linglong rushed forward with an agile figure. He jumped up and swung the sword in his hand, sending out countless sword lights.

Countless sword lights flashed out in an instant, stabbing towards Wanyan Jin from all directions.

Wanyan Jin waved the short knife in his hand, easily blocking the countless sword lights. There was a bit of disdain in his eyes: "The swordsmanship is indeed good, but the power is a bit lacking!"

Wanyan Jin followed Wanyan Chihu. He had been through hundreds of battles and had extremely rich combat experience. He swung the short knife in his hand fiercely, and the powerful sword energy instantly slashed towards Linglong.

There was a loud bang.

Linglong flew backwards, spitting out blood. The powerful sword energy made her internal organs tremble.

After falling to the ground, Wanyan Jin said in a cold voice: "If the Khan didn't want you to live, you would have been dead with this blow."

Linglong panted and slowly stood up. Even though she had reached the peak of the fourth level of martial arts unity, she still could not block the sword in front of Wanyan Jin.

The gap between the fourth rank and the third rank is like a chasm.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath. Knowing how powerful this man was, he did not hold back. He threw up a yellow talisman and chanted, "The sky is round and the earth is square. The laws are nine chapters. I write now. Ten thousand ghosts are hiding. The Three Pure Ones are above and the souls are below..."

For a moment, the air around seemed to freeze.

Wanyan Jin, who had been looking relaxed, looked towards Jiang Yun with serious eyes.

Behind Jiang Yun, the shadow of the statue of Taiqing Daode Tianzun slowly appeared. It slowly opened its eyes and looked towards Wanyan Jin.

A feeling of oppression suddenly came over me.

Wanyan Jin looked at Jiang Yun in surprise and said in a deep voice, "You are only a Taoist priest at the fourth level of the True Person Realm. How could the Taoist magic you performed make me feel oppressed?"

"interesting."

At this moment, it seemed as if the air around him was constantly suppressing him. Wanyan Jinjiao slowly raised his head with great effort, appearing to have some difficulty.

Jiang Yun pinched his hands in Taoist formulae, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his magic power continued to maintain the power of the statue.

Linglong closed her eyes and suddenly raised the sword in her hand high up: "Eighteen Moon Shadow Swords!"

The surrounding moonlight seemed to be sucked into the sword in her hand.

The long sword in his hand was shining with a faint light.

She rushed forward quickly, swinging her sword continuously with such powerful force that she even felt like she was about to break through to the fourth level of unity.

Wanyan Jin's body was controlled by the pressure of Taoism at this moment, and his speed was not very fast. Linglong actually stabbed a sword into his chest.

Linglong's eyes showed joy.

Become!

"hiss."

Wanyan Jin's eyes darkened as he felt the intense pain. "You two are really capable. No wonder you injured Wanyan Yushan so badly. It seems that the Khan said that I can't leave him alive."

"Take your bodies back!"

After Wanyan Jin finished speaking, he suddenly swung out the two daggers in his hands. The two daggers kept spinning in the air and flew towards Jiang Yun who was maintaining the pressure of Taoism.

As long as he kills the Taoist priest and removes the pressure, it will be easy to deal with this woman.

The dagger flying towards Jiang Yun was so fast that it was difficult for Jiang Yun to dodge it even if he did not maintain the magic circle.

In an instant.

A black shadow jumped up and stood in front of Jiang Yun.

The two daggers were actually bitten off by the talking cat.

"Bah bah bah."

The black cat stuck out his tongue and threw the knife aside.

"Who are you two?"

Only then did Wanyan Jin notice the cat and the monk.

Monk Yunhai smiled, put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, my Buddhist name is Yunhai, and I cannot stand killing."

"What's more, this naughty cat next to me once stole something from this donor Jiang."

"In that case, I'll help you and we'll be even, how about that, Mr. Jiang?" Hearing what Monk Yunhai said, Jiang Yun was slightly startled and looked at the cat in surprise.

You know, Wanyan Jin is a powerful third-grade grandmaster, and the knife he threw was easily caught by the cat.

The cat on the ground looked at Jiang Yun impatiently and said, "Hey, remember, Boss Yunhai said that if we save your life, the meteorite will belong to us."

"Don't ever say that I, Cat Dacai, stole your things again."

"It will be bad for my reputation if it gets out."

After saying that, Mao Dacai looked towards Wanyan Jin, and a strong demonic aura gradually emanated from his body.

It revealed its true form, transforming into a giant cat two meters tall and four meters long.

The originally cute and adorable face turned into a ferocious and brutal appearance, with a sense of hostility emanating from his body.

A low growl like that of a wild beast came from its throat, and it stared at Wanyan Jin fiercely. It jumped up, knocked Wanyan Jin to the ground in an instant, and then roared towards his face.

Wanyan Jin was so frightened by the sudden appearance of this monster that he was shaking all over. The strength of this cat monster was far above his!

Mao Dacai said coldly: "You are lucky. I haven't killed anyone for a long time. Go away."

Wanyan Jin, who was released, dared not stay any longer. He used his magic power and flew into the sky without hesitation, quickly fleeing from here.

Jiang Yun, Linglong, and Huyan Yaner were so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless.

Especially Jiang Yun, thanks to Wanyan Jin's arrival...

Otherwise, he and Linglong would probably have to fight with Mao Dacai.

The strength of this cat demon is so terrifying.

"Meow."

Mao Dacai hid his true form and jumped into the arms of Monk Yunhai, looking harmless again.

"Amitabha." Monk Yunhai put his hands together and said with a smile, "Three donors, we two don't want to cause any trouble. Goodbye."

"We saved your lives, and the meteorite will be ours."

After saying that, Monk Yunhai and Mao Dacai packed up their bags and left quickly.

Watching Monk Yunhai carrying the cat away under the moonlight, Jiang Yun couldn't help but frown. Where did these two mysterious people come from?

He didn't have time to think about it. He saw Linglong spitting blood. He quickly stepped forward to support her and said, "Master, are you okay?"

"I can't die." Linglong took a deep breath and couldn't help but glance at the direction where Wanyan Jin fled. She said, "Fighting with a third-grade expert did help me. If I find a third-grade expert to practice fighting with after returning to Beijing, I should be able to reach the third-grade master level soon."

Hu Yanyan, who was not far away, suddenly stood up and mounted his horse: "Go!"

She waved her whip and quickly fled from here. This was her best chance to escape while Linglong was injured.

"Don't worry about her. We have to return to Jianchi Pass before the war starts, otherwise we won't be able to go back." Linglong said after taking a deep breath.

"kindness."

Jiang Yun nodded heavily.

……

There were originally many Hu tribes living near the grasslands close to Jianchi Pass, because it was close to the Zhou State and it was convenient to purchase supplies.

But now, all the areas within fifty miles north of Jianchi Pass have been cleared.

A full 200,000 Hu troops were stationed around the city.

There is also 24-hour alert inside Jianchi Pass.

Early that morning, Xu Xiaogang, wearing armor, sat in the study of the Duke's Mansion in Mushan City.

In front of him was a thick stack of military documents that needed to be dealt with. Leading troops to fight was not a simple game of house. It was not as simple as transferring troops to a certain place and letting them defend or attack.

There are many dimensions to consider, such as military pay, military morale, food and fodder in the rear, the thoughts of the generals leading the troops, and whether they will act completely in accordance with their orders.

As well as enemy intelligence, and even more detailed, we have to pay attention to the weather.

In the past few days, Xu Xiaogang went to Jianchi Pass for inspection one after another, but he always frowned.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

"Enter."

The person who pushed the door open was a fifty-year-old man in armor named Jiang Yubo, who was Xu Dingwu's deputy general. After Xu Dingwu surrendered to the enemy, he was the one who temporarily managed the Zhenchi Army and prevented it from falling into chaos.

"General." Jiang Yubo held a roll of documents in his hand, put it on the table, and said, "This is the allocation of food and grass from the rear. It will take at least half a month for it to arrive."

Xu Xiaogang frowned and said in a deep voice: "According to the regulations, the Zhenchi Army's regular food and grass also requires the Zhenchi Army to be able to eat for a month without any assistance."

Jiang Yubo smiled bitterly and said, "That's the rule, but... basically only 30% to 50% of the food and fodder sent to us is left."

"In addition, the water source has been heavily guarded."

Xu Xiaogang suddenly asked: "Uncle Jiang, is what you said true?"

"My father knows the weakness of Jianchi Pass."

Hearing this, Jiang Yubo's lips trembled slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Well, Duke... Xu Dingwu has guarded this place for many years. I once heard him say when he was drunk that although Jianchi Pass is unbreakable, it has a hidden danger. If the Hu people find it, it will be disastrous..."
