Li Nian was still staring at the shriveled corpse, wondering why it was in such a state... Suddenly his heart skipped a beat and he turned around to look towards the door.

Dalian Temple realized something later and turned around to look.

Three auras are approaching rapidly.

The people in the front were already very close, and they were rushing towards the door without slowing down.

There was a commotion outside the door. The policemen guarding the door panicked and shouted at someone, "Sir, you can't..."

"Go away!"

A roar drowned out all other sounds, and the people blocking the door were knocked away by some force. A tall figure rushed in with the force of thunder.

Chapter 217 An Unfriendly Meeting

Without slowing down, the figure rushed straight towards him.

"Hurry up..."

Almost subconsciously, Dalian Temple had pulled out a talisman from his waist bag, threw it out, formed a seal with one hand, and began to cast a spell quickly, intending to directly use the technique called Immovable Golden Binding to control the intruder.

But she suddenly felt a strong wind rushing past her and rushing forward, and at the same time, Li Nian suddenly disappeared from the corner of her eye. Knowing that Li Nian had already started to move, she stopped.

The fierce wind hit the figure that was rushing towards him, causing the person to pause in his momentum. The strong wind then lifted up the bodies of several police officers who were knocked away behind him as it passed by him, preventing them from falling heavily to the ground and suffering secondary injuries.

The momentum was blocked, and the figure who broke in showed his face. It was a tall young man in a scarlet windbreaker. Under the strong wind, his expression was impatient. He stopped and subconsciously covered his face with his hands. Then he impatiently waved his arms to forcefully blow away the strong wind. His vision was restored, and his pupils suddenly shrank because he saw a big hand pressing straight towards him.

Before he could react, Li Nian grabbed his head and pressed it to the ground. There was a loud bang, and the young man fell into the mud and sank deeply into it.

Dalian Temple breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Nian subdue the intruder, but the next moment, they saw the situation change again.

"cough……!"

The young man coughed loudly. The back of his head and back suffered a huge impact. Anyone else would have been shattered by this impact, and his consciousness would have been knocked out, making him unable to move for a moment. However, his body seemed to be unusually strong and he could withstand such an impact. He fainted for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses. He opened his eyes again, and his eyes suddenly turned blood red. He became furious and let out a roar that was not a human voice.

There was a tearing sound, and the young man's arm suddenly swelled up and became extremely thick. In an instant, lush hair grew on it, and it became an extremely strong beast arm.

The monster revealed its true form and without hesitation swung its casserole-pot-sized fist at Li Nian's face, intending to smash his head like a watermelon.

Dalian Temple was startled, and immediately threw out the talisman again, this time quickly and completely performing the Immovable Golden Binding Technique. The talisman turned into a golden rope and shot towards the two people at an extremely fast speed - but it was obviously too late to help Li Nian.

But Li Nian was able to react on his own.

He stretched out his hand and caught the swung fist beside his head. The fists and palms collided with such great force that a dull sound like thunder was heard, which pushed the air waves to scatter and the strong wind blew the hair on his forehead into disarray.

Li Nian's eyes were cold, and his arm holding the fist did not move at all. He actually used his physical strength to hastily take the monster's attack.

Then, he pulled the young man's arm, lifted him up and turned him over, changing his arm into a twisted backward position. He then kicked the young man's other arm, grabbed it with both hands, and pulled it backwards, just in time to meet the golden rope flying from behind. The rope quickly wrapped around the young man's hands and tied him up tightly.

Li Nian grabbed the young man's arms with the rope in one hand and stepped hard on his back. This time he really held him down.

The young monster has transformed into the true form of a giant ape. His whole body has become several times larger and has grown lush hair. He appears to be very powerful. In fact, his strength is very strong. Even now that he has been caught, he is still struggling desperately, raising dust and shaking the ground.

However, he could not break free from the spell that was wrapped around his wrist, nor could he resist the continuous force exerted by Li Nian who was stepping on his back.

Dalian Temple looked at this scene and said hesitantly: "Hey, this guy seems to be..."

Li Nian's mind was faster than the girl's. Seeing the true form of the giant ape that looked very similar to the corpses in the house, he naturally had some guesses. But he didn't say anything, he just raised his head and looked towards the door.

The auras I felt before were three, and now the other two were approaching rapidly.

Dalian Temple obviously noticed it as well and looked towards the gate.

At the expected time, two gusts of dark wind blew in.

One stream landed in front of the door and transformed into a man wearing a kimono, with a stern face, long hair, and bangs covering the right side of his face.

Another group of people entered the gate, paused slightly, and then suddenly burst out at a faster speed and rushed towards Li Nian!

"Let go."

Along with the cold voice, a staff with billowing black flames was swung over -

Li Nian smacked his lips, thinking that these monsters were really messing around. He had already summoned a crystal clear long sword and held it in his free right hand. At this time, he casually swept it, but he burst out with power without reservation, swinging out an extremely fierce sword light.

thump—

Amid the explosion, the fierce black wind rolled back at an even faster speed, transforming into a figure visible to the naked eye. The man slammed his staff into the ground, breaking through the soil, and slid for a long distance before relieving the impact. He stopped beside the old man in kimono. He turned out to be a man wearing a monk's robe, a straw raincoat, holding a practice staff, and with waist-length black hair.

The man dressed as a practicing monk held down his still trembling right hand in astonishment, then looked at Li Nian with a gloomy and cold look, and took another step forward——

Dalian Temple immediately pinched a talisman in his hand.

The atmosphere became tense.

"Kurodabo."

The man in kimono suddenly spoke and called out a name. The monk who was about to attack again paused, retracted his steps, and retreated silently behind the man in kimono.

Li Nian's gaze turned to the man in kimono.

The man in kimono glanced at Dalian Temple, recognized the well-known child prodigy, then looked at Li Nian, narrowed his eyes, and bowed slightly.

"I am a member of the Nura Clan, Ushio. May I know the name of this mage?"

As expected, it turned out to be someone from the Nura clan.

"I'm Li Nian."

"..."

The monster who claimed to be a cow ghost was silent for a while, searching for information about this name in his memory, and Li Nian interrupted his thinking directly.

"Don't even think about it. I'm just an unknown rookie exorcist."

Niu Gui raised his head and stared at Li Nian for a while, then he stopped thinking about it and went straight to the point: "The man next to me is called Kuroda Fang. He was rude and offensive before because it happened suddenly and he lost his sense of propriety. I apologize to the mage on his behalf and hope there won't be any misunderstanding..."

Li Nian said indifferently.

"No matter what the misunderstanding is, it cannot be a reason for you to force your way into the scene, attack the police officers, or attack me."

"I'm deeply sorry for this... Anyway, could you please ask the Master to let go of the young master of the Guandong Great Ape Society first?"

Li Nian looked down at the young man under his feet.

In obvious futility, he kept struggling, even if the friction scratched his skin, even if the forced force of the dislocation of the joints caused greater damage to the bones, he still kept twisting his body desperately, roaring madly, his glasses bloodshot, but he was looking in the direction of the mansion, as if he just wanted to move a few more inches there.

Li Nian was really a little entangled this time. After thinking for a while, he sighed as if giving up, then let go of his hand and moved his feet. He called out again, "Miss Dalian Temple."

Dalianji untied the spell at the right time, and the ropes that were entangled with the young monster's hands disappeared.

The monster that had been freed didn't even look at anyone, it just stumbled into the house wailing.

Chapter 218: Nura Rikuo Arrives

Li Nian and Dalian Temple were left to confront the two uninvited guests.

From the intrusion of the monster, to the exorcist on the scene subduing it, to the new monster appearing, attacking again, and then being repelled by the exorcist, to now the two sides distanced themselves and began to confront each other, all this happened in a flash, too fast, leaving people unprepared, and since it involved ghosts and monsters, the police officers around reacted a little slowly, but at this time, of course they still reacted, and at the signal of Officer Takasaka's eyes, they scattered and surrounded these uninvited guests. Most of them put their hands on the holsters on their waists, having witnessed the previous battle and knew that these two monsters were very dangerous, so they were ready for battle.

However, the experts in dealing with spiritual disasters are still exorcists. Since the two exorcists present did not say anything, the police officers did not act rashly.

The two Nura group members who called themselves Ushiki and whose name seemed to be Kurodabo ignored the group of people who were surrounding them and were ready to attack. After asking Li Nian to release the young man who seemed to be the young master of the Kanto Great Ape Society, they did not take any other action.

It's no use staying like this.

Under Li Nian's questioning eyes, Niu Gui only said one sentence.

"The chief is on his way, please wait for a moment, Master."

Li Nian understood and nodded silently.

Then the scene became eerily quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.

Dalian Temple was quite relaxed, knowing that there would be no more fighting. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly after hearing what Niu Gui said.

The chief of Nura Group is coming?

...That's right. The destruction of one of their groups is a big deal for the Nura Group.

Being able to see the face of the Nura Group's commander-in-chief now was a little beyond her expectations. Dalian Temple was really curious about who that Nura Group was. After all, the Nura Group was well-known in the industry. She, the "child prodigy", was thrown here by that bastard Amawaka Kiyokatsu, partly because she wanted to monitor this organization entrenched in this city. She had never seen Nura Group's leader, the monster Nura, who stood at the top and led the entire Nura Group, so of course she was very curious.

Well, she'll see him later. Right now, she's more concerned about...

She withdrew her gaze from the two monsters and glanced at her colleague standing next to her.

It must be said that during the brief exchanges just now, the strength revealed by this guy called Li Nian really cannot be underestimated...

She had been told before she came that this guy named Li Nian was a top-notch strong man - but the way and tone in which the Minister of Curse Search told her was quite impolite.

Tian Ruo Qingxian was very blunt and said bluntly: "You little brat is only good at research, but you are a wimp in actual combat. When you go to Qianye, be more respectful in front of others. Don't let your bad temper provoke others and get you killed. I'm warning you first, I won't care if you become like that."

Dalian Temple Suzuka was naturally not convinced by this. Even though he knew that he was one of the Twelve Gods and did not have enough experience on the scene, he still thought that his strength was not bad. Researcher? What's wrong with the researcher? The researcher can also use magic to smash you to death with a foul mouth.

Dalian Temple was not convinced, so before coming to Qianye, he had a little prejudice against Li Nian, wondering how could this guy talk so arrogantly... But now after seeing Li Nian take action with his own eyes, he could only agree with the words of that bastard Tian Ruo with a little reluctance, because after meeting Li Nian in person, he could find that he was indeed a powerful character with some skills.

But to say that he is stronger than me is not necessarily true...

The girl was thinking about all sorts of things in her mind, and when she was lost in thought, Li Nian suddenly said, "Here I come."

"What." Dalian Temple was stunned, and then he saw that in front of the two monsters, the space was fluctuating like water, and a tall figure walked out of it.

Dalian Temple was suddenly shocked, because until she saw the man appear with her naked eyes, she could not sense the slightest breath, which meant that the "seventh sense" spiritual vision that the exorcist relied on could not detect the appearance of this monster. She would be killed by a knife from the back without knowing it. Even now, she still could not capture its existence in her spiritual vision.

The unknown is terrifying. Dalianji's originally relaxed heart suddenly became tense and he became alert again. Looking at the tall man with curly white hair and wearing a kimono, he knew that this man was the chief of the Nura group, Nura.

"Lord Lu Sheng"

Ushio and Kurodabo immediately bowed their heads and saluted, lowering their heads in humility and loyalty.

Li Nian had dealt with the sly ghost before and was used to it, so he just stared at the man silently.

The person who came was Nura Rikuo. He looked around and found fresh traces of battle. He also noticed the fresh air in the air. He knew that a battle had taken place before he arrived. He frowned slightly, glanced at Kurodabo, and asked, "What happened?"

Kurodafang lowered his head and looked at the ground, not raising it at all, and said respectfully: "Master Xingying trespassed on the scene and was subdued by the exorcist. I arrived one step later and saw this scene and couldn't help getting angry. I launched an attack without permission. I know I was presumptuous, and I ask Master Lu Sheng to punish me."

Nura Rikuo looked at Li Nian.

There was no exaggeration in Kurodabo's explanation, and the latter shrugged his shoulders, which was considered as an admission.

Nura Rikuo thought for a moment and said to Li Nian, "It was indeed Xingying's fault for trespassing and injuring the police officer. Kurodabo's attack on you was also his own action. I am here to apologize on behalf of these two people."

"Okay, forget it then."

Li Nian agreed readily, not wanting to waste any more time on such trivial matters.

A branch of the Nura Group was wiped out, so it was inevitable that the people from the Nura Group would come to investigate. Even from the police's standpoint, they should not have stopped them. The intruder seemed to be a survivor of the Kanto Great Ape Society, so it was understandable that he was emotional.

The reason why the young man was stopped was because he was too unruly. He broke in without permission and injured the police officer. The tense atmosphere was also caused by Kurodabo's impatience and attack on him, which made Li Nian a little angry. He did not intend to trip up these guys. Now the commander-in-chief of the Nura group, Nura Rikuo, had arrived and apologized. Even if Li Nian did not care about Rikuo's identity as the commander-in-chief of the Nura group, he did owe him a favor. So he was too lazy to show any displeasure to this group of people from the Nura group or do anything else. He just said, "Come here," and turned to walk towards the mansion.

Dalian Temple did not follow immediately, but quietly held the talisman and watched the three members of the Nura group pass by before following behind. Officer Kousaka signaled the police officers to disperse and silently followed at the end of this group of dangerous guys.

His organization was wiped out, and Nura Rikuo didn't smile casually like he did in the previous meetings. He walked quickly with Li Nian and asked directly: "What did you see?"

"It can be basically seen that someone skilled with a knife broke in and killed everyone here. The murderer was very powerful. I don't know if he was a magician or had a magician with him. He also wiped the mess cleanly. I can't find any useful traces. It's just that the death of the body is a bit strange. The fatal wound should be a knife wound, but for some reason, there are symptoms of dehydration."

When they arrived at the open door, Nura Rikuo and others could see the tragic scene inside. Ushio and Kurodabo walked forward, checked the bodies, and determined that the facts were indeed as Li Nian said.

I walked towards the area I had never been to before, wanting to see if there would be any new discoveries. I saw that there were indeed more and more corpses. The dead bodies from the main entrance to the corridor were obviously the fighters who rushed out, but those inside could be seen to be the elderly, the weak, women and children who had no power to resist.

When Li Nian saw this scene, he felt a little touched.

Nura Rikuo's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became colder.

When they arrived at what seemed to be the main hall, they could see the young man who had been released by Li Nian before, kneeling there blankly, looking ahead. Li Nian followed his line of sight and saw two corpses. Judging from their clothes and physiques, they seemed to be a man and a woman. The man's physique was three times larger than the corpses seen before, but he just hugged the woman, as if protecting her, with his back to this direction.

An opening can be seen on the back of the male corpse. It looks like both men were pierced through by a knife. It is not difficult to imagine the scene when they died.

"Master Baboon and his wife are also..."

Nura Rikuo spoke in a low voice like a **, closed his eyes unable to bear to look, and sighed heavily.

When Li Nian heard the murmur, he understood the identities of the two people. He then looked at the young man kneeling on the ground with lifeless eyes, as if in despair. He was also touched. He was silent for a while, and finally sighed.

“They are all the same…”

Now that his knowledge system has become more and more complete, Li Nian has been thinking about what the true nature of ghosts and monsters is. Now seeing the young man's appearance, he has become more certain of his inference.

Afterwards, he and Nura Rikuo checked the entire site of the house, observed the entire scene and all the corpses, and the result was just as expected, no new valuable discoveries were made, whether it was monsters or exorcists.

At last they returned to the gate.
