193: Headless Fly

Although this young general was still a Mortal, the Monk immediately saw his extraordinary nature!

"So he is the White Tiger Star Lord, one of the Four Directional Star Lords, reincarnated... This power, possessing the strength of nine oxen, two tigers, and one Dragon, is truly extraordinary!"

The Monk rolled his eyes. Although in terms of strength, this Star Lord was definitely no match for him, the weapon in his hand was not simple. It seemed to have the blessing of Divine Ability, with infinite power. He was currently empty-handed, so he couldn't confront him head-on.

He was afraid that if he used too much force and accidentally injured him, he would truly be unable to escape blame.

Across from him, General Xue Rengui held his Fangtian Halberd, cupped his hands, and said, "Great Master, please don't be offended. Please come with me, General Xue Rengui. After the curfew, someone will take you to visit your friend..."

The Monk's eyes darted around, and he turned to run, but unexpectedly, General Xue Rengui's steps were agile. With a stomp of his foot, three bricks instantly shattered, and then he swept towards the Monk like the wind.

In the time it took for the Monk to be momentarily stunned, General Xue Rengui had already arrived close by. The Fangtian Halberd, carrying a strong Killing Intent, fiercely slashed towards him.

The Monk couldn't help but extend his right hand, grabbing the halberd shaft. His feet, however, suddenly sank, both feet already half a foot deep into the ground.

"Goodness gracious, what immense strength..."

The Monk chuckled. With a sweep of his right hand, General Xue Rengui involuntarily flew up, as if riding clouds and mist, and was thrown to the side. But after all, he was a general who had seen many battles. He twisted his body sharply in mid-air, and the Fangtian Halberd, in a 'returning spear' stance, thrust towards the Monk. The Monk, however, lightly swept his right hand, and his wide robes and sleeves instantly entangled the shaft of the Fangtian Halberd. General Xue Rengui only felt a surge of immense power, and he was dizzyingly thrown to the ground beside him.

Fortunately, he reacted in time, flipping over before landing and standing on his feet. But he couldn't stand firm and retreated three steps before stopping his momentum. He was inwardly horrified: "This Monk has such great strength... Could he also be an Immortal, like the Holy Monk?"

After throwing General Xue Rengui away, the Monk suddenly stomped his foot, and his body once again soared into the air, landing on the rooftop and disappearing from everyone's sight.

General Xue Rengui, however, looked at the ground where the Monk had just stood, frowning slightly: "Did he really transfer all my strength to the ground? It seems this Monk showed mercy!"

On the rooftop, the Monk ran wildly, heading towards the largest building. He ran and jumped, his speed astonishingly fast.

"Haha, I was a bit foolish. Since he is the Datang Yudì, he should naturally be in the Imperial Palace..."

As the Monk gradually approached the Daming Palace, a person suddenly appeared in front of him, striking his chest with a palm, saying, "Slow down, slow down... This is not a place for you to frolic freely!"

Bang!

His wide robes and sleeves met the opponent's palm. The person was suddenly flung back, and as he flipped and landed on the rooftop, the Monk saw that the person was wearing eunuch attire. It turned out this person was the Imperial Palace attendant, Li Shimin's personal eunuch, Zhang Anan.

This Zhang Anan was not only skilled in archery and horsemanship, but his martial arts cultivation was also extremely high. In his youth, he had received instruction from an extraordinary person. In terms of martial arts alone, he was already close to the so-called Innate realm. One more step, and he would have the potential for Immortal Ascension. However, that extraordinary person had said that he only had human wealth and glory, and no fate for Immortal Ascension. So, he had always hidden beside Li Shimin, nominally an attendant, but in reality, a personal bodyguard.

"Oh, another extraordinary character. The Imperial Palace is off-limits. Quick, flash, flash..."

The Monk smiled, his figure twisting, instantly transforming into countless illusions, darting in all directions.

Zhang Anan looked at his slightly numb palm, frowning: "This Monk's martial Dao cultivation is extremely high, but he also showed mercy. Is he not here for revenge? Then what is his purpose?"

Since he couldn't distinguish which of the Monks was real, Zhang Anan no longer pursued. Instead, he pulled a 'thousand-mile fire' from his 懷, and fired it into the sky. And with this whistle, a light suddenly flashed above the Qintian Prison. A young man in a Daoist robe, holding a strange weapon, chased in this direction. His figure moved, like a large swan, soaring down in mid-air. The cylindrical object in his hand, like a gun, aimed at one of the Monk's illusions and pulled the trigger.

This young man's Daoist name was Xingyunzi, the closed-door Disciple of Yuan Tiangang. And the weapon in his hand was actually a 'spirit-capturing net' specifically used to capture cultivators.

Bang!

A marble-sized projectile suddenly flew over, shimmering with a light blue glow in mid-air. Then, it actually bypassed many illusions and even made a turn in mid-air, chasing after one of the retreating figures. And just as it approached that shadow, the spherical object suddenly exploded, transforming into a large net woven from unknown Materials, covering that figure from above.

"Bang!"

"Oh no..."

Caught off guard, the Monk was already covered by the net. The net was incredibly magical; not only could it automatically track, but it could also automatically tighten at that instant, instantly binding him like a zongzi. The Monk couldn't stop his momentum and fell directly from the rooftop. Xingyunzi flipped and jumped down, muttering, "Master is really something, always making me do these rough and tiring tasks... Hmm, no, that's not right..."

He jumped to the ground, only to find that what was caught in the net and lying on the ground was not the Monk, but a stone roller commonly used by farmers... "Haha, this Monk truly has great Divine Ability. Even Master's Magic Treasure couldn't catch him..." Xingyunzi, however, laughed instead, looking at a black speck on the rooftop, chuckling, "Let's see where he's going..."

Zhang Anan also jumped down and said to Xingyunzi, "You say, could this fellow be related to the Holy Monk?"

Xingyunzi laughed, "That's definitely it... Hmm... This fellow has been running aimlessly around the city like a headless fly, clearly not knowing where the person he's looking for lives. And he's always shown mercy, so he doesn't seem like a bad person!"

"Bad people don't have it written on their faces..." Zhang Anan said, "Why didn't your Master make a move?"

"Master said that this guy has no ill will... But... this guy should be an enemy!" Xingyunzi scratched his head, "I don't know what he means by that..."

"No ill will, yet an enemy, then relatively speaking, isn't he still a bad person to us?" Zhang Anan laughed, "Alright, let the Holy Monk and them handle this matter. We can't deal with him anymore..."

After speaking, he calmly watched the small black figure in the distance, being kicked off the rooftop by a large, plump figure, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
