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

Chapter 737 Please be more careful
When the Eighth Prince and his men rushed to the top of the mountain breathlessly, they saw that the gate of the stronghold, which had been heavily guarded, was now wide open.

The village was filled with dust and one could only vaguely see countless figures lying on the ground.

The eighth prince looked back and found that the third prince had not arrived yet, and immediately smiled pervertedly.

No matter what, the person who will be hung on the flagpole today will definitely not be him.

As long as it wasn't him, the Eighth Prince would feel relieved.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

The Eighth Prince gave orders to his personal guards.

"Your Highness, isn't it too risky for us to be alone?"

A personal guard persuaded the Eighth Prince.

"What are you afraid of?"

"With that cat here, it'll be fine."

The Eighth Prince is very confident in Li Xuan.

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked into the village.

The guards had no idea what to say and immediately surrounded the Eighth Prince and kept him under close guard.

They walked deep into the mountain stronghold, and found that none of the rebels were still standing.

"This……"

Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless, even the Eighth Prince was no exception.

He had seen how powerful Li Xuan was before, but he had never imagined that he would be so powerful.

"This cat seems to have become stronger again."

The Eighth Prince thought to himself, a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead.

He had some understanding of Li Xuan's temper, which was extremely bad.

The Eighth Prince was glad that he immediately led his men to follow Li Xuan's footsteps.

Otherwise, he was really afraid that Li Xuan would do what he said and hang one of them on the flagpole and take it back.

The eighth prince led his men to search inside.

The mountain village was filled with smoke and dust, making it difficult to see clearly.

On the way, whenever they encountered rebels who dared to resist, they would go up and give them a finishing blow.

They walked all the way to the mountain stronghold Juyi Hall, where they found Li Xuan.

The originally magnificent Juyi Hall has now become a ruin. It can be seen that the center of the explosion was here.

Li Xuan stood motionless in the ruins, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was a particularly special human-shaped piece of ash under his feet, which looked like someone had been burned to death there.

"Is this solved?"

The eighth prince stepped forward tremblingly and asked.

After Li Xuan rushed up, they failed to capture Hutou Mountain, which they had fought hard for several times. In the blink of an eye, it was completely flattened.

Such a huge gap made it difficult for the Eighth Prince to accept it for a while.

Li Xuan turned to look at the Eighth Prince with a playful smile.

"This guy is obedient, but he came at the wrong time."

Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and his smile became somewhat dangerous.

When the Eighth Prince saw Li Xuan's malicious smile, he couldn't help but take two steps back and explained:

"Hey, I followed your orders and immediately brought people to follow you."

"Don't tease me again, or I'll tell Ankang."

The eighth prince was afraid that Li Xuan would bully him, so he immediately brought up the name of Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan grinned and just shook his head, not arguing with the Eighth Prince.

It was unexpected that this was the first time that Li Xuan killed an enemy at the third level since he successfully attained enlightenment.

But he didn't expect that the path of reincarnation brought him new surprises.

The third-rank master on Hutou Mountain is a burly man who wields a tiger-head broadsword. Not only is his swordsmanship superb, but his power is also enhanced by his fire-attributed true qi.

No wonder the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince failed to defeat him after several hard battles.

But in front of Li Xuan, no matter how domineering the burly man's true energy was, or how profound his understanding of the Dao was, it all lost its meaning.

In the face of the Way of Reincarnation, any warrior of the same level will be suppressed by Li Xuan in all aspects.

The domineering power of Yin and Yang Qi is fully demonstrated in the path of reincarnation.

Faced with Li Xuan's sudden attack, the burly man had no power to fight back and was knocked to the ground in an instant.

Then, Li Xuan used all his strength to unleash the Jihena Demonic Flame, instantly blowing the enemy to death.

Faced with Li Xuan's sudden attack, the burly man didn't even use a single move and his soul went straight back to the underworld.

I'm afraid that until the moment of his death, he didn't even see clearly what was attacking him.

Not to mention the other rebel minions, who were caught in the explosion without knowing what was happening.

Those who were farther away from the Juyi Hall might be able to survive, but Li Xuan was sure that no one inside the Juyi Hall would be alive.

The third-grade master is a great tonic for Li Xuan.

He originally wanted to absorb all the power of the Five Elements of Reincarnation before the two princes arrived.

Unexpectedly, his way of reincarnation brought out new abilities.

After the burly man was blown to death by Li Xuan, his body was broken, but it was far from being reduced to ashes.

However, under the influence of the law of reincarnation, Li Xuan just moved his mind, and the broken body of the burly man began to burn on its own.

Then it transformed into pure fire-attribute energy and was completely absorbed into Li Xuan's body.

Li Xuan had absorbed the power of the Five Elements Cycle several times and immediately recognized the origin of this power.

He had never imagined that the way of reincarnation could simplify the process of absorbing the five elements of reincarnation to such an extent.

Compared to the previous effort of waiting for the Five Elements Cycle to begin, after learning the way of reincarnation, Li Xuan found absorbing the power of the Five Elements Cycle as easy as eating and drinking.

Just as Li Xuan was amazed at the efficiency of the Way of Reincarnation, the Eighth Prince and his men happened to break in.

After taking a look at the strength of the guards around the Eighth Prince, Li Xuan put away his guard.

It was already strange that he was able to absorb the power of the five elements of reincarnation generated by the death of a top-three warrior.

Now that he has comprehended the way of reincarnation, this ability can be said to be completely evil.

Fortunately, Li Xuan had the identity of a man of destiny, otherwise, he would have been regarded as some evildoer and everyone would have hated him.

But this ability is indeed not good to be known to outsiders, otherwise it will easily cause misunderstandings.

Therefore, it is better to keep it secret if possible, and only let trusted people know about it. There is no need to make a big fuss and attract unnecessary attention.

Putting himself in his shoes, if other people had the same strange abilities as Li Xuan, he would probably have to be on guard against them too.

As long as Li Xuan had some evil intentions, it would be as easy as he wanted to improve his cultivation in the future.

But Li Xuan was also very clear that the price to pay for this shortcut was often greater than taking the right path.

Sometimes, the price cannot even be seen or touched.

When it comes to you, you often can't bear it.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan's expression changed several times after seeing the Eighth Prince and others appear.

Li Xuan sensed that more and more troops were rushing towards the mountain stronghold in the military camp at the foot of the mountain.

He immediately raised his head and let out a tiger roar. Invisible sound waves vibrated and dispersed all the stirred smoke and dust.

The Eighth Prince and others only felt a strong wind blowing towards them.

They put their hands in front of their eyes and bent down.

After waiting for a long time, I finally felt that the strong wind had stopped.

When they opened their eyes and looked around again, they found that the situation in the village was clearly visible.

The ground was littered with defeated soldiers and generals lying in all directions.

All around where Li Xuan was standing were broken limbs and arms.

Only after they were at a distance from him did they begin to see some survivors.

These rebels who had managed to save their lives were wailing helplessly on the ground.

Not knowing what was going on, the Eighth Prince and his personal guards couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw this scene.

If Li Xuan launched a surprise attack on their military camp, their fate would probably not be much better.

"Your Excellency's skills are unparalleled, and I admire you!"

At this moment, someone beside the Eighth Prince suddenly stepped forward, knelt down to salute Li Xuan, and praised loudly.

Li Xuan looked at his clothes and recognized him as a eunuch in flowery clothes from the Imperial Household Department.

After all, only the flowery-clothed eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have such professional and high emotional intelligence. Li Xuan nodded to him.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. It's not easy for him to put on a sour face when others praise him so much.

"I am Yang Qi, your Excellency, do you have any other instructions?"

Yang Qi felt honored when he saw Li Xuan nod to him, and asked considerately.

Li Xuan carefully sensed the village and confirmed that the remaining ones were just rotten fish and shrimps. Then he nodded to them and signaled them to follow him.

Seeing that Li Xuan really had something to tell him, Yang Qi happily hurried to catch up.

The Eighth Prince had seen how powerful Li Xuan was, so he dared not disobey him and followed closely with his men.

Li Xuan led them to the back of the Juyi Hall.

This is just an ordinary flat land with some wooden stakes, stone locks and eighteen kinds of weapons placed around it. It looks like a place for practicing martial arts in the mountain village and there is nothing special about it.

But Li Xuan led them to a corner of the flat ground, then lit up his claws, condensed frost, and gently waved it at the ground, tearing a deep scar several feet long.

Beneath the deep scratches, there is a metallic luster reflecting.

When everyone looked carefully, they found that there was a piece of iron plate hidden under the flat ground.

The iron plate was also torn by Li Xuan's claw, revealing the dark space inside, which looked like a cellar.

After Li Xuan pointed out the cellar where supplies were stored in the mountain stronghold, he sent a message to the Eighth Prince alone:
"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No, I'm going back."

The eighth prince's head suddenly shook towards Li Xuan like a rattle.

Naturally, he wanted to get rid of this evil star Li Xuan as soon as possible.

Seeing that he was so scared of him, Li Xuan just smiled and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, the Eighth Prince stopped him and said, "Wait, what about the Third Prince hanging the flagpole?"

"You just said that whoever comes late will be hung on the flagpole and go back."

Speaking of this matter, the Eighth Prince became bolder, since he was not the one who was in trouble anyway.

Li Xuan wagged his tail. Without even turning his head, he sent a message to the Eighth Prince:
"I'll leave this matter to you."

When the Eighth Prince heard this, he couldn't help but get anxious.

If he could do it himself, why would he ask Li Xuan?
"If I could have hung the third brother up by myself, I wouldn't have had to argue with him just now."

"You know that the third brother is a little stronger than me..."

The eighth prince gestured to Li Xuan with a fingertip universe without blushing or beating his heart.

But after hearing this, Li Xuan turned his head abruptly, glared at the Eighth Prince, and then said viciously:
"If you can't even handle such a small matter, I will hang you on the city wall when you return to the capital!"

The eighth prince immediately looked hopeless and said no more.

He finally figured it out. Li Xuan just wanted to kill him from the beginning.

After scaring the Eighth Prince, Li Xuan walked down the mountain with a domineering step.

"Sir, walk slowly."

Yang Qi's voice came from behind Li Xuan, and Li Xuan also wagged his tail as a gesture of greeting.

The task assigned to him by Emperor Yongyuan has been completed and he can go back to report.

As for the remaining finishing work, there should be no problem leaving it to the Eighth Prince and the others.

Li Xuan looked at the sky and then sped up.

"Looks like I can go back just in time for lunch."

……

Although Li Xuan left in a graceful manner, the Eighth Prince's work had just begun.

He looked at the dilapidated village, and then said to the guards around him:

"First, control the survivors to prevent them from causing any more trouble."

"Save everyone who can be saved."

The eighth prince added one more sentence at the end.

"Then this way..."

"Don't worry, these things can't run away."

"As for the third brother, he is not so shameless as to grab the credit."

"He has the heart but not the courage."

In response to the hesitation of his guards, the Eighth Prince spoke confidently.

After all, if the Third Prince really did something wrong, he would have a legitimate reason to ask Li Xuan to teach the Third Prince a lesson.

In order to save time, the Eighth Prince rushed up the mountain with only his personal guards.

Since we don’t have many people, we plan to start with the most important things first.

The Hutoushan stronghold was not very big to begin with, and after being bombed by Li Xuan, there were even fewer people left who could still breathe.

The Eighth Prince and his men only had to search while shouting "Is there any survivors?" and they would immediately get a response from these people.

After all, survival is human instinct.

The Eighth Prince believed that these people were, after all, citizens of Daxing. Even if they had made mistakes, they should be given such an opportunity if they could survive and atone for their sins.

After all, compared to the dead, the living can still work, right?

Of course, this is also because the Eighth Prince does not have much battlefield experience and his heart has not yet completely hardened.

By the time the Third Prince brought his men to the mountain stronghold, the Eighth Prince had already gathered all the remaining rebels together.

Temporary emergency treatment has been given to those who were seriously injured.

As for whether they can survive in the end, it depends on their own fate.

When the Third Prince saw the situation in the mountain village, he was as shocked as the Eighth Prince at first.

"Did the cat do all this?"

The Third Prince's voice trembled unconsciously, and some terrible images subconsciously appeared in front of his eyes.

"Did you show mercy to me at the beginning?"

The third prince thought to himself.

Of course, he also saw the mushroom cloud that exploded in the village from the foot of the mountain.

But when he arrived at the mountain village and saw the dead bodies all over the ground, he had a more intuitive feeling of Li Xuan's lethality.

"His name is Xuan. I advise you to be more polite in the future, otherwise..."

The Eighth Prince did not continue speaking, but turned his head to look at the devastated village.

Then, he continued, "Ah Xuan has already beaten the masters in the village to death. He was reduced to ashes. I am not exaggerating."

"And he also helped us find the cellar where the supplies were hidden in the mountain village."

"Since you have brought people here, come and help."

The third prince nodded blankly.

The shock in his heart lingered for a long time, and he even felt a little scared.

Compared with the Eighth Prince, the Third Prince's relationship with Jingyang Palace has never been good.

If Li Xuan had been serious with him in the past, he would have been dead long ago.

The Eighth Prince seemed to have seen through the Third Prince's thoughts. While he was secretly laughing in his heart, he said seriously:

"Old Three, you better be more careful!"

"It's only because Ankang is kindhearted. If he were a more rude person, you might not be able to return home from this southern tour."

"By the way, do you still remember Xuan's voice transmission just now?"

"You should behave yourself this time, hang yourself on the flagpole, and go back to apologize."

"Maybe people won't bother you about the past anymore."

The Eighth Prince looked earnest and patted the Third Prince on the shoulder with a sigh, telling him to figure it out for himself.

Then the Eighth Prince took his men and continued to work.

But only the guards beside him saw that as soon as the Eighth Prince turned around, he could no longer hold back his smile.

But he didn't dare laugh out loud, for fear of being heard by the Third Prince.

Only that handsome little face, the smile expression was distorted.

The guards beside him looked at their master speechlessly, but they couldn't help but look back at the Third Prince's expression out of curiosity.

The Third Prince's brows were tightly furrowed, and it seemed that he was really thinking seriously about the Eighth Prince's words.

"These two gentlemen..."

The guards shook their heads and laughed secretly in their hearts.
