Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 666 Rain Curtain
Before they had finished their meal, a heavy rain began to fall.

The rain fell fast and hard, forming a gray curtain that covered everything in sight.

Fortunately, they had chosen a suitable place to rest in advance and there was no rush.

They are located in a higher terrain, so rainwater will only wash down and will not cause siltation.

Princess Ankang and others were warming themselves by the fire in the cave, watching the rare and heavy spring rain.

"What a heavy rain."

Princess Ankang looked at the rain flowing down the slope outside and gathering into a small river.

She glanced at the camp outside with a little concern, and found that the camp was still solid despite the rain.

The flowery eunuchs were experienced and had encountered worse weather many times. To them, it was just a drizzle.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. This kind of rain won't last long."

Butler Shang came over from the side.

He walked through the rain, but the rain separated on its own and did not wet the corners of his clothes at all.

Such weather was extremely pleasant for Manager Shang, who practiced water-based Qi.

Princess Ankang nodded. Since Manager Shang had said so, there was no need for her to worry.

"Butler Shang, have I done well along the way?"

Princess Ankang asked somewhat nervously.

"Your Highness has done well enough."

Manager Shang smiled and nodded, approving of Princess Ankang's performance over the past few days.

Although Princess Ankang appeared calm and composed in front of others, she was actually nervous at times. After all, this was her first time leaving the palace so far away, and she was responsible for leading such a special team.

See the heads of corrupt officials falling down as she conveyed the order.

Seeing the common people expressing their gratitude profusely just because she brought belated justice.

All these things always make Princess Ankang feel deeply moved, and always remind her of the heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

Now that she had received the approval of Chief Steward Shang, Princess Ankang heaved a sigh of relief.

When she delivered the imperial edict, she was representing Daxing. No matter in front of corrupt officials or in front of the common people, there could not be any omissions.

Nowadays, the people of the world have little trust in the imperial court. If there are more twists and turns, I am afraid that even the last fragile balance will not be maintained.

"Your Highness, this matter is not your sole responsibility, so don't feel too burdened." Butler Shang comforted.

“We’ve done a pretty good job.”

Princess Ankang nodded and smiled.

Li Xuan watched silently from the side, also looking at the rain.

The little girl has been under a lot of pressure these days and always takes this matter too seriously.

To put it bluntly, even if Daxing really collapsed, who could put the blame on her, a little princess?

If Li Xuan were to say, the little girl's habit of daydreaming had recurred.

Princess Ankang and the chief monk couldn't help but smile when they saw Li Xuan yawning with his mouth open.

If they could be as relaxed as Li Xuan, they wouldn't have to worry all the time.

Princess Ankang picked him up from the ground and said:

"Xuan is still the best. He is carefree and has no worries every day."

Could Li Xuan tolerate this?
He immediately struggled to get around in Princess Ankang's arms and started rolling like a cat.

"Oh my, oh my, okay, okay, I'm wrong."

Princess Ankang felt itchy due to Li Xuan's actions and quickly begged for mercy.

Steward Shang looked at Li Xuan and Princess Ankang playing and shook his head and laughed.

"By the way, Your Highness."

"The young man you saved today..."

When Chief Steward Shang brought up this matter, Princess Ankang also expressed her thoughts.

"Well, at first I just felt sorry for him and wanted to help him if I could."

"But he said he ran away from Jiaozhou City, so I thought maybe he could be of use."

"Father asked us to meet up in Jiaozhou City. Is it because that place is special?"

Manager Shang nodded silently, looked around, and then silently used his true Qi to isolate the surroundings to prevent any sound from leaking out.

"Jiaozhou City is the first major city we stop at during this southern tour. It is well connected and has always been a prosperous place for commerce. It is also the largest city in the surrounding area."

"Jiang Pu, the governor of Jiaozhou, has always been known for his slickness in the officialdom, but in recent years he has become increasingly close to Prince Zheng."

"Your Majesty still hopes to win this man over with gentleness. Otherwise, if a position like the Jiaozhou prefect becomes vacant, it will be difficult to fill it immediately."

"It depends on whether the negotiation goes smoothly. If not, I'm afraid Jiaozhou City will be in turmoil."

Manager Shang looked solemn.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang also stopped playing around and realized the seriousness of the matter.

But at this moment, Li Xuan's eyes suddenly focused and he sensed a dangerous aura.

"There is someone on the mountain, top three!"

"No, it's the second rank, someone is performing the Dao Realm!"

Li Xuan's message made Princess Ankang and the chief monk feel a chill in their hearts.

I saw that Shang Zongguan immediately removed the Qi shield and shouted:
"Enemy attack!"

"alert!"

The next moment, eunuchs in flowery clothes rushed out from their guard posts and tents and surrounded the cave where the princes and princesses were resting.

The princes and princesses had not yet rested when they were startled by the sudden change.

Princess Yan Zhao also stopped meditating and slowly opened her eyes.

Princess Yan Zhao's eyes were calm, without any trace of panic.

"Ah Xuan, give me a hand, let's go up and take a look."

Manager Shang conveyed the message to Li Xuan.

But Li Xuan showed hesitation.

Manager Shang understood immediately and whispered something to him, and Li Xuan then looked enlightened.

He looked in the direction of Princess Yan Zhao, and then agreed to go with Chief Steward Shang to check it out.

"Be careful and don't leave Yu'er and Sharon."

Li Xuan gave a hurried instruction and then jumped from Princess Ankang's arms onto the back of Chief Steward Shang.

Princess Ankang nodded, and then said to Li Xuan:
"Be careful too."

When Manager Shang saw Li Xuan lying steadily on his back, he immediately dodged out of the cave and rushed into the rain.

Princess Yan Zhao, who was standing by, saw this scene clearly and couldn't help but frown.

"Why would Butler Shang bring a cat with him?"

at the same time.

On the top of the mountain covered by rain, there was a burly figure like a sculpture half-kneeling.

This is a bald man with a dull expression, dark and shiny skin, and a texture like that of a stone sculpture.

I saw him insert one hand deeply into the top of the mountain under his feet, inserting his entire forearm into it.

The bald man who stood motionless in the heavy rain suddenly frowned slightly.

"Ok?"

The next moment, a special vertical white line swept across the gray rain curtain, which was out of tune with the raindrops all over the sky.

As the white line swept silently, the rain curtain between the sky and the earth was completely cut in half, divided into two parts, upper and lower.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still. The rain curtain at the top was still neat, but the rain curtain at the bottom was instantly scattered. But facing this blow that cut through the rain curtain between heaven and earth, the bald man simply raised his free arm to block it in front of him.

The arm suddenly grew larger and turned into a shield blocking him.

呲——

A sharp sound passed by, instantly drowning out the sound of rain.

Only a tiny mark was left on the shield, and the bald man was not hurt at all.

Manager Shang was shocked that his previous attack could not break the opponent's defense.

At this time, Manager Shang felt a familiar flow of Yin and Yang Qi flowing into his back.

He no longer hesitated and immediately unfolded his own Dao realm.

"Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water!"

With the help of Li Xuan, Manager Shang almost instantly deployed his Dao Realm to cover the other party.

But the bald man didn't care and even removed the shield in front of him and used his free hand to grab the arm of his other hand.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Then, he let out a low growl and forcibly pulled his hand out from the ground.

"Drink-ah!!!"

The entire mountain beneath his feet began to shake, and the hillside washed by rain began to collapse and slide.

"what!!!"

The bald man pulled out his arm that was stuck in the top of the mountain.

His arm looked extremely strange at this moment, with an earthy yellow luster, as if it had been crystallized.

But as he pulled out his arm, the top of the mountain beneath his feet began to collapse, and then it moved the entire mountain.

Although Manager Shang dragged the other party into the illusion, with the drastic change of the environment, the bald man's figure disappeared in the rubble and mud.

Soon, Manager Shang's illusion could no longer capture the other party.

"hateful!"

The bald man actually triggered a rare and terrible mudslide.

The rubble and mud were pouring down, and were about to flood the camp. Manager Shang shouted a warning:
"Get out!"

Without Manager Shang's reminder, the people in the camp had already started running.

Tie Niu, who was still sleeping soundly, was trapped under the ribs by a eunuch in flowery clothes.

From the very beginning when Chief Eunuch Shang warned of the enemy attack, Tie Niu was controlled by the eunuchs in flowery clothes.

Now faced with such a horrific natural disaster as a landslide, everyone feels powerless to resist and can only move as far away from the original camp location as possible.

But with their speed, they have no way of escaping the impact of the mudslide, unless they are like Manager Shang, who has mastered the ability to use true Qi to fly in the air.

However, this ability can only be displayed by upper third-grade warriors with superb cultivation or special attributes.

There are so many people down there. Unless Zhao Feng arrives and uses his breeze to lift them up, even if Chief Steward Shang is replaced, he will not be able to save so many people.

Manager Shang swooped down and came behind the fleeing crowd, then cast a curtain of water to block the mudslide coming from behind and buy them time.

But even with the support of Li Xuan's Yin-Yang Qi, facing such divine power, Manager Shang could not just rely on brute force to block it, and the condensed water curtain was broken again and again.

The debris flow is a mixture of gravel and mud, and the impact force is extremely alarming.

Most of the mountain where they originally camped was cut off by the explosion.

Half of the mountain was washed down along with the rain. Even the most powerful people in the world could not resist this kind of power from heaven.

Many of the attendants in the team are just ordinary people, and Yu'er and Sharon are considered to be the attendants with high cultivation.

After all, the guards included eunuchs in flowery clothes, and when the princes and princesses went on the southern tour, they only brought their close attendants with them, and there was no big problem with the threshold of cultivation.

The close attendants are those who grew up with them, and the powerful attendants are all veterans under their mother.

In order to avoid suspicion, they tacitly did not bring these attendants who were subordinate to their mother during the southern tour, but now they are hindering their progress.

Because there were ordinary people in the team, the speed of escape was greatly limited.

But Manager Shang asked them to run not simply because he wanted them to outrun the mudslide, but because he was waiting for an opportunity.

He looked at the surrounding terrain, which was gradually becoming flatter and the momentum of the mudslide was also reduced a lot. He immediately gave the order:
"Stop in the open space ahead!"

The eunuchs in flowery clothes received the order and immediately expanded the formation to protect everyone in the center.

When Princess Yan Zhao saw Shang Zongguan looking at her, she immediately gave the order:

"Give Chief Shang a helping hand."

The next moment, a figure appeared beside Princess Yan Zhao. It was Wei Changli, who was responsible for protecting him secretly.

Wei Changli and the chief monk looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"Axuan."

Manager Shang called Li Xuan softly.

Li Xuan immediately increased the output of Yin and Yang Qi.

Today was the right time for Manager Shang to adapt to his water-based Qi. With the addition of Yin and Yang Qi to his body, he immediately felt a surge of power rising from his body.

"rise!"

Manager Shang just shouted loudly, and a thick wall of water rose up into the sky around them.

As the wall of water rose, the debris flow that was rushing down was isolated.

The team slowly stopped and took a break.

But this would consume too much energy for General Shang, and he cannot resist in this way.

When Wei Changli saw that the water wall had become solid, his expression changed slightly.

But this did not slow down his actions.

Wei Changli gathered his energy in his palms and pushed them hard to both sides. The water wall condensed by Shang Zongguan immediately began to freeze and soon froze solid.

Frost moved up along the water wall, and Manager Shang also controlled the water wall to close above their heads.

In a short while, the two of them worked together to build a fully enclosed ice house.

The raging mudslide instantly submerged the igloo and then continued down the slope.

A group of people stood in the igloo, looking at the pitch-black outside without even a trace of light.

Princess Ankang immediately took out a fire stick from her Bingyue bracelet to illuminate the room, and the eunuchs in flowery clothes also immediately prepared torches and lit up the interior of the ice house.

After Chief Steward Shang and Wei Changli made sure that the igloo could withstand the impact of the mudslide, they carefully withdrew their hands.

"Thank you Mr. Wei for your help."

Manager Shang bowed to Wei Changli and thanked him.

"It's my job, Manager Shang, thank you for being so polite."

Wei Changli also returned a salute, and it seemed that the two knew each other.

Just now, Chief Steward Shang secretly told Li Xuan that there were experts protecting their group in secret, one on Emperor Yongyuan's side and one on Princess Yanzhao's side.

Including himself, there were a total of three top-third-grade warriors looking after the team.

No wonder Emperor Yongyuan dared to let them come out and act separately.

Even King Zheng would find it difficult to target such a team.

But no one expected that the other party's ability would be so outrageous that it would cause a landslide.

If Li Xuan had not noticed it in advance and did not give the other party too much chance to accumulate strength, the entire mountain would probably have been collapsed by the bald man just now.

"Meow, King Zheng's men are quite capable."

Li Xuan recalled the scene where the bald man caused the landslide, and he couldn't figure out what kind of Taoism this was.

Even for a second-grade warrior, being able to collapse a mountain was indeed a bit outrageous.

At this time, Wei Changli also asked Shang Zongguan curiously:

"Manager Shang, I wonder what's going on?"
