Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

Chapter 500: Flute Master

"Huh~ Great! I can actually feel a slight improvement in my strength!"

The smoke of the battle gradually dissipated. Wu Song was the first to put away the flame of his whistle stick, took a long breath, and his tense muscles gradually relaxed.

"Huh~ I'm so tired! Dafei, why don't we eat something first!"

Bai Tang sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, his hair soaked with sweat.

"Okay, but you should wait for me to rest for a while. My hand is not feeling well now."

"Wanzi, stop thinking about eating, okay? Let Dafei rest first, and you should adjust yourself too. Isn't your rhythm power bad?"

Dafei leaned against a big tree, rubbing his injured arm. Xiaoqing landed lightly on the ground and folded her wings. Mingyue closed her eyes to rest and recover the energy she had just consumed.

"All right!"

"Um?"

Mo Zi stood aside, his brows slightly furrowed, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"What? Is there something else watching us?"

She always felt that someone's gaze was vaguely falling on them, but when she looked around, there was nothing unusual except the mountains and forests destroyed by the battle.

Just as Mo Zi was secretly on guard, a figure was quietly watching them in the shadow of branches and leaves on the top of a big tree not far from them.

"Jie Jie..."

The figure was surrounded by a faint dark aura, which could not be detected unless one looked carefully.

The owner of this figure had an emerald green flute placed horizontally beside his mouth. It was the mysterious cat from before.

"Ha ha……"

The corners of its mouth rose slightly, revealing a wicked smile, which looked particularly sinister in the dim light.

"A bunch of little brats!"

Its eyes flickered with an eerie light, like phosphorescence in the dark night, staring intently at the tired cats below.

"Humph, you're here after all. You've finally come to the Chang Sect. Let me meet you."

The shadow lowered his voice, his tone full of teasing and provocation.

"Is it there?"

Mo Zi reacted instantly, his eyes flashed, and the rhythmic energy around him surged and gathered.

"Ice Jade Soaring!"

In the blink of an eye, a spear formed from pure rhythmic energy appeared in her hand, with a cold light flashing at the tip.

"call out……"

Without hesitation, she let out a delicate cry, exerted force with her arms, and the spear cut through the air like a flash of purple lightning, shooting straight towards where the black shadow was.

"Sister A Zi, what's wrong?"

Bai Tang looked confused and stopped what he was doing and asked.

"Hmm? Sister Azi, what's going on..."

Wu Song quickly stood up, pointed his stick in that direction, and looked around vigilantly:

"Is there a situation?"

Dafei, Xiaoqing and Mingyue also perked up and took defensive stances.

"There was a sound just now, and a dark shadow, right over there!"

Mo Zi pointed in the direction where the black shadow disappeared and said, his eyes fixed on the trajectory of the flying spear.

"boom!"

The spear whistled with the sound of wind as it accurately penetrated the place where the black shadow was originally located. The powerful impact force directly smashed the tree trunk there into pieces, and wood chips flew everywhere.

"call--"

But when the smoke and dust cleared, there was no trace of the shadow. Only the destroyed trees proved that the attack was not an illusion.

"what?"

Bai Tang widened his eyes and tried to look around:

"Why don't I see anything?"

Dafei scratched his head:

"I didn't notice anything either."

Xiaoqing also used her sleeves to jump onto the tree branch and looked into the distance:

"Nothing unusual was found, sister."

"No, Sister Azi wouldn't do something like that for no reason!"

Wu Song frowned:

"It seems that the enemies of the Chang Sect are more difficult than we thought. Everyone must not let their guard down."

"Well! Let's hurry on and get to the main city as soon as possible!"

The cats nodded and set out on their journey again, taking every step carefully. The appearance of the mysterious black shadow was like a thick haze, shrouding their hearts.

"Who is that dark shadow? How is grandma now?"

When the cats completely disappeared at the end of the winding path, the forest returned to silence, with only the breeze blowing through the leaves, making a rustling sound.

"Humph, that's abominable!"

Suddenly, the figure surrounded by darkness appeared out of nowhere. It was the mysterious cat that had been hiding in the dark.

"Drip..."

Its body swayed slightly, and its right hand unconsciously raised up. Bright red blood was seen dripping slowly from its fingertips, leaving a small dark mark on the ground.

"Ahhh—I didn't expect that even though I tried so hard, I still couldn't escape her perception!"

Seeing the blood on his hands, the black shadow's face twisted instantly, his facial features twisted tightly together with anger and unwillingness, and his teeth chattered.

"Humph, as expected of Mo Yun's sister, she's so powerful."

The shadow cursed softly, his voice filled with resentment and fear.

"But that's all it is!"

It slowly raised its head and looked in the direction the cats left. Its eyes gradually became blurred, and the scene of the gloomy valley a few days ago flashed through its mind like a kaleidoscope.

"You guys go over there first and wait for my instructions!"

Chaos surged in the valley. A mysterious cat stood beside an ancient altar, surrounded by a group of humming chaos monsters.

Suddenly, a figure slowly came in. It was Ling Zuan.

He looked calm, as if indifferent to everything around him.

"Um?"

Instantly, a look of surprise flashed across the mysterious cat's face, followed by a teasing laugh that echoed throughout the valley:

"Hey, Lingzuan, you're finally back! Didn't you get tired during that trip to Buzong? Were you chased by the Xingluo Squad the entire way?"

In the picture, Ling Zuan's expression remained unchanged, he just smiled and shook his head:

"Come on, forget it. I just saw that the Xingluo Squad had some connections behind them, so I wanted to play the long game and catch a bigger fish. There's no need to fight them to the death in Buzong."

"Haha, okay, I'll reluctantly believe your reason." The mysterious cat smiled and waved his hand.

"But seriously, you have to pay attention to this mission, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Lord An."

As he was speaking, Ma Buliang came staggering in from the valley entrance. Seeing the spiritual diamond, he said in surprise:

"Hey boy, you're back!"

Seeing this, the mysterious cat started to have a playful thought:

"Look, here comes another one. I'm telling you two, when you were on that mission before, did you lose your brains along the way? You even managed to lose those two flutes. If I had those two treasures, my strength would definitely be on the rise!"

Just as Ma Buliang was about to speak, Zhirou rushed in from behind and became unhappy when she heard this:

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! Losing the flute was an accident. My senior brother also made great efforts along the way."

The mysterious cat smiled and spread out his hands:

"It was just a joke, don't be so angry. We are all working for Lord An, so it's only right to work together."

"You don't seem to be driving..."

Zhirou was still fuming, so Ma Liang hurriedly pulled her aside and tried to smooth things over with a smile:

"Yes, yes, we all know you're protecting your brother. Master Flute has no ill intentions. We're all hoping to take down the Xingluo Squad."

The flute player stepped forward and patted Ma Buliang on the shoulder:

"That's right, next time there's a mission, I'll have to rely on your help. This time in Changzong, let's work together to take down the Xingluo Squad. Then we'll have a chance to show off in front of Lord An!"

Ling Zuan nodded aside:

"That's right. After we get to Chang Zong, let's discuss and make a comprehensive plan."

The cats started discussing the next steps one after another.

Back to reality, the flute master's eyes flashed with a fierce light:

"Xingluo Squad, we haven't settled the score from last time yet. This time, none of you can escape!"

After saying this, a dark aura surged around him, and he rushed towards the direction where the cats left, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Xingluo Squad in the core area of the Chang Sect.
