I am Master Maoshan

"Open the city defense formation!" Military advisor Chu Liuying's voice sounded particularly decisive in the tense atmosphere.

His first thought was to keep this ferocious beast in the God King City and not let this guy take Liu Jun too far away. Otherwise, if any other variables arise, his nine clans will be unstable.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jin Xuan was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little surprised by this sudden order.

But his years of experience in officialdom helped him come to his senses quickly. He turned around without hesitation and shouted to the guards behind him: "Quick, open the city defense formation!"

There was unquestionable authority in his voice. Upon hearing it, the guards immediately took action and nervously carried out the order.

As a low and powerful "buzzing" sound rang out, the entire God King City seemed to be trembling in this sound.

The huge city defense formation, this ancient defense mechanism that had not been activated for thousands of years, was finally activated today. The light flickered, the runes flowed, and the formation exuded a mysterious atmosphere, firmly guarding the entire city.

The people in the city were frightened by this sudden change and were a little flustered. They didn't know what had happened. People stopped what they were doing, walked out of their homes or shops, gathered in the streets and alleys, and talked about it. Panic spread among the crowd, but there was more curiosity and worry about the unknown.

At this moment, the beast that looked like a strange beast was struggling in pain. The ring on its neck tightened again, making it unable to breathe, and its eyes were flashing with anger and pain.

The creature began to flail around, trying to break free from the ring that bound it, but every impact was in vain.

With a loud bang, the four-legged beast slammed into the city defense formation again. This time the impact was so strong that it felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning.

However, this city defense formation was as solid as a rock, enduring the fierce impact without moving an inch.

Chu Liuying stood on a high place, watching all this coldly. His heart was filled with worry. He knew that the threat of this beast should not be underestimated, and he must keep it in the Divine King City at all costs. Only in this way can Liu Jun's safety be ensured and no more accidents will happen.

At this moment, the God King City was plunged into an unprecedented tense atmosphere because of this sudden crisis.

"boom--"

Another muffled sound exploded beside the moat, and the huge body of the four-legged creature covered with black scales slammed heavily into the light golden city defense formation.

The light curtain of the formation was rippling violently, like the surface of a lake hit by a boulder. Liu Jun only felt the silver rope in his hand tremble violently, and the whole person was thrown towards the light curtain by inertia, and his back hit the barrier of the formation hard.

"Ahem—" His throat felt sweet, and his internal organs seemed to have shifted. Stars appeared in front of his eyes, and he vaguely saw his grandmother waving at him from the clouds.

Before he could recover, the beast had already shaken its huge head. Its red eyes were full of ferocity, and its bowl-sized front hooves were carrying a foul wind as it stepped straight towards his face. The bone spurs on its hooves shone coldly in the sunset, and were only three inches away from the tip of his nose.

"Damn it, you want to ruin my face?!" Liu Jun's pupils suddenly shrank.

He relies on this handsome face to make a living in the God Realm! At the critical moment, he twisted his waist, kicked the light curtain with the sole of his boot, and retreated backwards like an arrow. His boots rubbed violently against the bluestone ground, leaving two deep marks.

The hooves of the four-legged beast slammed heavily on the ground, and the blue bricks within a radius of three meters shattered. Amid the flying rubble, Liu Jun had already soared into the air. He clenched his right fist, and his knuckles made a crisp sound like popping beans, and his entire arm glowed with golden light.

"Take my mountain-splitting punch!"

The fist whistled, creating a visible wave of air in the air. The fist hit the base of the horn on the forehead of the four-legged beast, making a loud sound like the sound of metal clashing. The beast roared in pain, staggered backwards, and knocked down a bunch of willow trees by the moat.

As the smoke and dust filled the air, Liu Jun keenly noticed a flash of fear in the eyes of the four-legged beast. The beast was quite clever, and when it saw the situation was not good, it immediately turned around and tried to escape with all its hooves.

"Still want to run?" Liu Jun sneered, the silver rope in his hand rustling. This chain made of Tianshan cold iron had long been linked to the ring on the neck of the four-headed beast, and was now stretched straight by the huge force. He only felt a huge force coming, and the whole person was immediately lifted off the ground.

"Hey! Slow down--" The wind whistled in his ears, and the buildings on both sides retreated rapidly. Liu Jun was dragged like a kite, drawing an arc over Chang'an City. He hurriedly adjusted his posture, tapping the tip of his boots on the eaves for leverage, and in his mind, he had already put this weirdo on the grill hundreds of times.

As dusk deepened, the chase between man and beast cast a long silhouette on the rooftops of the God King City.

Liu Jun narrowed his eyes, looking at the figure rushing forward, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Let's see how long you can run."

"Military Advisor Chu, should we send strong men in the city to help His Majesty?" Prime Minister Jin Xuan frowned, his eyes closely following the figure in the sky being dragged by the four-legged beast. The cuffs of his wide official robe trembled slightly, revealing his inner uneasiness. Chu Liuying's slender fingers unconsciously stroked the jade pendant on his waist, and his eyes flashed with hesitation. He has been with Liu Jun for a long time, and he knows Liu Jun's strength, but watching Liu Jun draw all kinds of strange arcs in the air like a kite with a broken string, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, struggling whether to take action.

"Ah - help!" Liu Jun's screams came from high in the sky, but strangely, there seemed to be some excitement in the voice.

The huge body of the Sibu Xiang is very flexible. It often brakes suddenly and drifts, and it is not known whether it is intentional or unintentional, and it will often throw Liu Jun onto the city defense formation.

At this time, the people in the city were already in chaos. The vendors' stalls were knocked over by the panicked crowd, and fresh fruits fell to the ground. Children cried and women screamed one after another. A few brave young people lay on the roof, pointing at the sky.

"Greetings, Her Highness the Saint!" A neat salute suddenly sounded. Yan Li, wearing a red dress as red as fire, walked slowly towards them, holding the delicate and graceful Xu Bao'er's hand. Her delicate face showed no trace of worry, but a helpless smile.

"He's playing over there." Yan Li said softly, his eyes following the increasingly smaller black dot in the sky. "Although this beast looks fierce, it is not very powerful and cannot harm Your Majesty."

Xu Baoer raised her little face, clapped her hands and laughed, "Brother Liu Jun is flying so high! Higher than a kite!"

Prime Minister Jin Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hesitated to speak. Chu Liuying nodded thoughtfully, turned around and instructed the guards behind him: "Immediately appease the people in the city, count the damaged houses and property, and pay double compensation."

At this moment, a long roar suddenly came from the sky. Liu Jun had loosened the silver rope at some point and was standing in the air.

The light of the setting sun gave him a golden edge, and the majesty of the God King was fully revealed at this moment. Then, he raised his middle finger to the Sibu Xiang and said, "You are just a coward who can only run away."

It was not known whether it was Liu Jun’s expression or his insulting gesture that directly angered Sibu Xiang.

The four-legged creature roared angrily, and its body suddenly expanded several times, turning into a stream of light and rushing towards Liu Jun.

When Liu Jun saw this, he turned around and ran, no longer caring about the majesty of the God King. This guy was at least several hundred meters tall, almost catching up with the ancient war spirit that Xu Baoer had summoned before.

Yan Li's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and then turned to look at the officials around him, "Pass the order down, say that today's incident was His Majesty the Divine King conducting a beast control exercise."

Chu Liuying and Prime Minister Jin Xuan smiled at each other, and the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. The chaos in the city gradually subsided, replaced by the exclamations of the people looking up. No one noticed that in the shadow of the city wall, a cloaked figure was quietly recording all this.

The body of the four-legged creature has swelled like a mountain under the stimulation of demonic power. Its black scales have a metallic luster, and its sturdy limbs cause the ground to tremble every time they step on the ground.

However, such might consumed a huge amount of demonic power. The white mist from its nostrils became thinner and thinner, and its copper-bell-like eyes began to turn bloodshot. In less than half an incense stick of time, its huge body shrank rapidly like a leaking skin bag, and finally returned to its original rhino size, with a few unwilling roars mixed in with its heavy breathing.

Liu Jun is always good at changing his attitude according to the situation. Seeing this, he immediately turned around and provoked Sibu Xiang, rubbing his hands and showing a sly smile like a street thug: "Oh my, is your demon power running out?"

The soles of his boots crushed the gravel on the ground and slowly approached. Suddenly, he flipped over and the muddy soles of his boots were firmly imprinted on the soft belly of the monster.

"Ugh--" The monster made a sound similar to human retching. Its swollen belly twitched violently, and a strange green light seeped out from the gaps between its scales.

With the sound of metal collision, thousands of God King coins gushed out of its throat. Gold and silver coins drew shining parabolas in the air, and some of them even flew past Liu Jun's nose.

"Oh my God! This beast can lay golden eggs!" Liu Jun hurriedly tried to catch the coins scattered in the air. He didn't even have time to cry out in pain when several gold coins hit his forehead.

He stared at the four-legged beast like a hungry wolf seeing a fat sheep, and even forgot to wipe the drool that flowed unconsciously from the corners of his mouth. The scattered God King coins bounced between the tiles on the eaves, and the crisp sound of jingling caused a commotion in the whole city.

The beggar squatting in the corner was the first to discover this unexpected windfall. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "The God has sent us wealth!" Immediately, people from all over the street poked their heads out of the windows.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wooden windows breaking on the second floor of the tavern. A shirtless man broke through the window and ran out, still grasping in mid-air. The old man selling pancakes dropped his load and ran away, not even noticing that he stepped on his own steamer. Several children jumped and danced in the rain of gold coins. A little girl with pigtails just picked up a silver coin and was dragged into the house by her mother's ears. The blind fortuneteller on the corner suddenly walked briskly, pushing the crowd away accurately with his bamboo stick, muttering "This is a gift from God".

Taking advantage of the chaos, the Sibuxiang tried to sneak away, but was caught by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Liu Jun.

This guy was obviously well prepared. He fished out a worn sack from somewhere, his eyes gleaming with greed. He leaned close to the furry ears of the Sibu Xiang and said in an almost coaxing tone, "Come on, little guy, spit out some more gold coins? If not, I'm really going to beat you up!"
