Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

"..."

The purple light bursting out from the stone box was like a strange evil moon, illuminating the entire underground palace with flickering light and darkness.

"Damn it, I will never let you succeed!"

Bai Tang's body was surrounded by a golden light, and the Bell of Justice transformed into a thousand golden rays that shot towards the gray-robed man. However, the gray-robed man condensed his Chaos into a shield. Amidst the sound of metal clashing, he grinned and swung out his chains:

"Naive! Do you think you can stop Lord An's plan?"

The chain wrapped around Bai Tang's ankle like a poisonous snake, instantly corroding and leaving charred marks.

"Let him go!"

Wu Song's flaming whistle club, accompanied by a whistling sound, struck the gray-robed man's back. However, the red-robed woman suddenly swung out her bone fan, and the black mist transformed into a ferocious ghost face to block the attack.

"Fools, how can you possibly touch the power in this stone box?"

"younger sister……"

As she opened and closed her bone fan, eight rune chains wrapped around Xiaoqing's sleeves like living things. Seeing this, Mo Zi waved his Bingpo fan, and ice spikes shot towards the vital points of the woman in red like a rainstorm.

“Wow…”

The sounds of metal clashing and spiritual energy exploding echoed one after another. Da Fei swung his massive iron fist, smashing the constantly approaching minions back and roaring:

"Just in time! No one can take that thing away from you today!"

The proprietress waved her whistle tightly, resisting the poisonous fog while shouting:

"Be careful to cooperate! Don't let them get close to the stone box!"

"Tap..."

At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from the depths of the underground palace.

The leader of the Black Claw Gang rushed in with a large number of his men. The leader looked at the stone box, greed flashing in his eyes:

"Hahaha! There really is something good here! Brothers, grab it! Whoever gets the stone box will be rewarded handsomely!"

The Blood Shadow Alliance also rushed over from the other side. The leader of the Blood Shadow Alliance sneered:

"Just you, the Black Claw Gang? This stone box is ours for the Blood Shadow Alliance!"

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

The members of the Black Claw Gang drew out their scimitars and slashed at Bai Tang and the others; the members of the Blood Shadow Alliance swung out their poisoned hidden weapons, which drew dangerous arcs in the air.

The gray-robed man took advantage of the chaos and pounced on the stone box again. Bai Tang gritted his teeth and jumped up, fighting him with the Justice Bell.

Wu Song resisted the attacks of the Black Claw gang while using fire to block the woman in red;

Xiao Qing's water spirit power clashed fiercely with the poisonous mist of the Blood Shadow Alliance, forming a large area of ​​poisonous water;

Mo Zi had to distract herself to deal with the attacks from the men in black and the Black Claw Gang, and the ice spikes formed an ice net around her.

"I won't let you get close!"

Da Fei stood in front of the stone box, like an unshakable mountain, repelling all enemies who tried to approach.

"Everyone, come on!"

But more and more people from the Black Claw Gang and the Blood Shadow Alliance gathered, attacking the defense line wave after wave.

"Get out of my way..."

A soldier from the Black Claw Gang swung his knife at Da Fei, but was knocked away by Da Fei's punch. He hit the wall hard, spitting blood and collapsed to the ground.

"Stop it all!"

The leader of the Black Claw Gang suddenly shouted,

"If we kill each other like this, the Secret Keeper will only reap the benefits!"

The leader of the Blood Shadow Alliance sneered:

"Stop pretending! Who knows what you're up to?"

"!"

Just as the two gangs were confronting each other, a teeth-grinding "crack" sound came from the dome of the underground palace.

Countless cracks spread like spider webs, and rubble fell like raindrops.

The boss lady's face changed drastically:

"Oh no! This underground palace can't withstand such a powerful spiritual impact, it's about to collapse!"

At this time, the barrier that the proprietress had previously activated began to crumble.

The white light barrier around the stone box flickered, and the gray-robed man took the opportunity to launch an all-out attack. The power of chaos hit the barrier like a tide.

"Hold on! We can't let the barrier break!"

Xiaoqing shouted, waving her sleeves and injecting more spiritual power into the barrier.

"What a great opportunity everyone!"

However, the Blood Shadow Alliance and the Black Claw Gang ignored the danger of imminent collapse and rushed towards the stone box again.

The two gangs fought in front of the stone box, swords clashed, spiritual powers collided, and shouts of killing shook the sky.

"Uh……"

A soldier from the Blood Shadow Alliance was stabbed through by a sword from the Black Claw Gang and fell in a pool of blood. He stared with unwillingness before he died.

"Stop fighting! If you keep fighting, everyone will die here!"

The leader of the Black Claw Gang shouted anxiously,

"Let's work together to destroy the Secret Keeper first, and then discuss the ownership of the stone box!"

The Blood Shadow Alliance leader hesitated for a moment and said through gritted teeth:

"Okay! I'll trust you this time!"

The two gangs turned their spearheads and attacked Bai Tang and the others.

Da Fei's eyes widened with anger:

"You've come just in time! Even if you join forces, you won't be able to take the stone box away!"

"Thousand Jin Ding!"

He brandished his iron fist and fought with the masters of the Black Claw Gang and the Blood Shadow Alliance.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you, Fire Judge!"

Wu Song's flaming whistle club collided with the Blood Shadow Alliance leader's poisonous sword, sparks flying everywhere;

Xiaoqing maintained the barrier while fighting with the woman in red;

Dark purple ice spikes continuously shot towards the approaching enemies, forming a thick layer of ice on the ground.

The battle between Bai Tang and the gray-robed man became increasingly intense.

The golden light of the Bell of Justice clashed fiercely with the power of chaos, and every collision caused a strong shock wave.

"You can't stop me!"

The gray-robed man roared, and the aura of chaos on his claws became stronger and stronger.

Bai Tang gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashing in his eyes:

"I will never let you succeed!"

"Wong..."

At this moment, a loud bang was heard, and the barrier finally couldn't hold on and shattered.

Ink-black energy gushed out of the stone box, and wherever it went, the air made crackling sounds.

The collapse of the underground palace became more and more violent, large chunks of rock fell from the dome, and the walls began to collapse on a large scale.

"Get out!"

The boss lady yelled,

"It'll be too late if you don't leave!"

But no one was willing to give up the stone box and they continued to fight for it madly.

The leader of the Black Claw Gang and the leader of the Blood Shadow Alliance were also caught in the melee. The two cats were covered in wounds, but they still stared at the stone box.

"Allies! Withdraw first and make long-term plans later!"

The leader of the Black Claw Gang shouted with difficulty.

The leader of the Blood Shadow Alliance wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded:

"Okay! But the stone box must be kept by both of us!"

In the underground palace that was about to collapse completely, the forces from all sides, covered in wounds, were retreating towards the exit while resisting the falling rocks.

And the mysterious stone box still emits a strange purple light.

……

Rubble fell to the ground like rain, and everyone fled from the underground palace in a panic. Behind them were ancient buildings that collapsed with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.

The Black Claw Gang leader held the bleeding wound on his waist, staring intently at the direction where the gray-robed man and others disappeared, and said through gritted teeth:

"I didn't expect those guys to run away with the stone box!"

The leader of the Blood Shadow Alliance kicked away the stone at his feet and sneered:

"If the underground palace hadn't collapsed, the stone box would have been ours sooner or later!"

He turned to look at the secret keepers, his eyes full of vigilance and unwillingness.

"However, the Secret Keeper shouldn't think he can escape unscathed. This matter is not over yet!"

"Humph……"

Bai Tang wiped the dust off his face, held the bell of justice tightly, and said firmly:

"No matter where they run to, we must take the stone box back and never let An's conspiracy succeed!"

Wu Song waved a broken whistle stick, the flame flickering on the stick tip.

"That's right! Those guys can't stop us!"

The proprietress looked at the gradually dissipating smoke and dust, her face solemn:

"Don't underestimate the enemy. The power within that stone box is too strange. Once the gray-robed men obtain the stone box, they will definitely find a place to study its secrets. We must find them as soon as possible."

Mo Zi frowned, recalling the aura emitted by the stone box, and felt uneasy:

"I have a feeling this chaotic force is connected to the mysterious incidents I investigated earlier. If they unlock the secrets of the stone box, the consequences will be disastrous."

Seeing that everyone seemed to have reached a consensus, the leader of the Black Claw Gang rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said:

"How about we temporarily join forces? The Secret Keeper is good at tracking, and our two gangs have more people and are more powerful. If we cooperate with each other, we might be able to find the stone box faster."

Although the Blood Shadow Alliance leader was reluctant, after weighing the pros and cons, he snorted coldly:

"Hmph, let's cooperate for now. But let me be frank. After we find the stone box, we have to discuss how to divide it."

Just as the cats were discussing, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.

I saw a group of ragged people holding simple weapons, rushing towards this side, and the leader shouted:

"Hand over the stone box! It belongs to us!"

The Black Claw Gang leader's expression changed and he cursed:

"Where did this bastard come from? How dare you act so wild in front of me?"

"The breath is wrong!"

The proprietress's eyes flashed, and she noticed the faint aura of chaos around this group of people, and she warned loudly:

"Be careful! They have traces of Chaos influence on them, and they're probably coming for the Stone Box!"

Before he could finish his words, those people had already launched their attack, their weapons emitting a strange black light.

Without saying anything, Da Fei rushed forward, waving his iron fist and roaring:

"You've come just in time! Let me practice on you first!"

Xiaoqing's sleeves fluttered, her spiritual energy transformed into a waterspout, hurling it towards the enemy. Wu Song's flaming whistle once again ignited a blazing fire, sending enemies retreating wherever it passed. Not wanting to be outdone, the Black Claw Gang and the Blood Shadow Alliance joined the fray.

"Hey, why did he fail when he was hit in this place?"

During the melee, Bai Tang keenly noticed that although these enemies were attacking frantically, their movements were somewhat stiff, as if they were being controlled by some force. With a thought in his mind, he shouted:

"Attack their foreheads! That's the weakness of Chaos Power!"

Everyone acted as instructed, and the situation on the battlefield gradually turned around.

After dealing with this group of uninvited guests, everyone's faces became even gloomier.

The Black Claw Gang leader wiped the blood off his weapon and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that many people know the secret of the stone box. We need to speed up our actions."

The leader of the Blood Shadow Alliance also nodded in agreement.

The proprietress took a deep breath and said:

"We will first split up to gather clues and then gather at the ruined temple west of the city in three days. Remember, do not act rashly. The power of that stone box... is not something we can easily contend with."

As the night deepened, everyone dispersed with their own thoughts.

And somewhere in the darkness, the gray-robed man gently stroked the stone box in his arms, a sinister smile on his lips:

"Secret Keeper, Black Claw Gang, Blood Shadow Alliance... I'll let you roam around for a few more days. Once the power of the stone box is fully unleashed, the entire Cat Land will be plunged into endless chaos..."
