Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 79 Who is he?
In fact, the failure to burn down the Nanyang granary was due to several factors besides the various effects of the boundary gate. One crucial factor was that the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor did not gather under Yang Guo's command to work for him because Shi Shugang needed the blood of the Nine-Tailed Fox to heal his wounds.

Although the masters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor are not ranked among the top in the martial arts world, they can command hundreds of beasts. If the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor were willing to use its resources to help Yang Guo attack the defenses of Nanyang City, the tigers, elephants, wolves, and cheetahs rushing into the city would cause great chaos, making it much easier to burn down the granaries.

Of course, this is only one possibility.

Even with the changes brought about by the boundary gate, and even with the involvement of the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor, the outcome of being trapped in the warehouse might still remain unchanged.

Cha Nan and Shui Mu Yin Ji were hiding in the lake not far from the warehouse, with only their heads showing as they looked towards the warehouse.

On the roof of the warehouse sat a young man, playing Go alone. The cold wind blew through his hair, revealing only a pair of eyes that seemed to see through all the mysteries of the world.

"Be careful, this is a master!" Cha Nan could clearly sense the danger from the amplitude of the water ripples, thanks to Jellyfish Yin Ji's warning.

"Who is he? He can't possibly be the Golden Wheel Monk, nor does he resemble the Happy King!" Cha Nan thought to himself.

"The Mongols were indeed hiding other masters. The fact that this person was brought into the open means that there are other masters hidden in the shadows."

Cha Nan's slight ripples in the water conveyed a message to the jellyfish Yin Ji through the water flow.

This special way of using water can also be considered a unique form of communication between the master and apprentice.

"Now that you two are here, why hide yourselves?" The young man's hand holding the chess pieces suddenly paused, and without turning his head, he spoke directly, his voice carrying far in the silent night.

The Mongol soldiers guarding the warehouse immediately sprang into action, the sound of weapons being drawn echoing through the air.

Neither Cha Nan nor Shui Mu Yin Ji jumped out of the water immediately.

Although the other party accurately stated the specific number of people as 'two,' they were probably not bluffing, but they may not know that the other party was hiding in the water.

“Yesterday I set up four formations here: wind, water, light, and fire. I calculated every change in the aura here over the next three days. As soon as you arrived, the aura changed, and I sensed your presence.” The young man turned around, his gaze fixed on a tranquil body of water.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
A large number of arrows were shot into the water by Mongol soldiers, forming a covering net.

Without hesitation, Cha Nan released two Iron Fist Apes.

Iron Fist Ape used his serpentine, elusive movements to dodge the rain of arrows, leaped ashore, and charged straight into the ranks of Mongol soldiers, unleashing a merciless massacre.

They were dressed in the night clothes that Cha Nan had found for them, and their faces were covered with masks and straw hats. Judging from their figures, they were just burly and slightly hunched-over江湖汉子 (jianghu men, martial arts heroes).

The young man holding the chess piece kept his eyes fixed intently on the ripples on the water's surface, a fleeting hint of doubt flashing across his eyes.

He had a game of chess in his mind, with lines crisscrossing like a net in the sky. Within these lines, everything that happened within a hundred meters should be under his control and calculation.

But at this moment, he miscalculated!

Now, four people have appeared on his mind's plate.

The two additional variables almost completely overturned all his previous calculations.

This feeling of being out of control... he really disliked.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The two Iron Fist Apes continued their rampage against the Mongol soldiers, seemingly unstoppable. Their Great Subduing Demon Fist technique was displayed to its fullest extent, displaying its ferocity. However, their dominance came to an end. A blinding flash of light emerged from the darkness, like an impenetrable net of blades, enveloping the two Iron Fist Apes.

"There are still experts!" Cha Nan was hidden underwater, but his vision was not obstructed. In fact, he could see the shore more clearly from underwater.

The one who drew the knife was an old monk, wearing a kasaya robe with yellow and black stripes, but his face was full of ruthlessness and viciousness.

Facing the encircling net of blades, Kakarot stepped forward and was the first to activate 'Full Power,' his entire body radiating rings of golden flames.

The fists that were originally thrown randomly now possessed a sense of order and skill, leaving behind a series of frenzied afterimages.

As the blade and fist collided, Iron Fist Ape was forced to retreat step by step, breaking bricks and stones, but the old monk's blade could not break through the defensive fist. He even had to guard against Kakarot getting close and punching him once or twice.

"Young man! What superb fist techniques! Such impressive external martial arts skills! Are you a disciple of Shaolin?"

"Why not switch allegiance to the patriarch? I am now favored by the Mongol emperor and wish to promote our sect. I need someone like you!" The old monk sheathed his sword and stepped back, hoisting his long, narrow scimitar onto his shoulder. He tilted his head and glanced at Kakarot, whose fists were unharmed, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"It's not hard to guess. He's most likely the Blood Blade Ancestor! Judging from the situation, he hasn't reached the Grandmaster level, but he should be at the Innate level. Otherwise, Kakarot wouldn't only be able to parry even after activating his 'Transformation'." Cha Nan judged the old monk's identity and combat level, but he was already starting to worry.

That young man on the roof is difficult to deal with, and Blood Blade Ancestor is no pushover either.

But is that all?

not necessarily!

No wonder even with Yang Guo's skills, he had difficulty extricating himself.

At this moment, Blood Blade Ancestor has retreated, but Kakarot cannot just sit idle. Full power mode consumes a lot of satiety and SAN value. Even though Kakarot has the 'infinite energy' attribute, he can only transform for about ten minutes at most now.

Once the transformation ends, you need to rest and recover until your satiety and SAN values ​​return to normal before you can restart it.

Therefore, it transformed into a black wind and swept into the Mongol soldiers again, its fists moving wildly and powerfully, knocking down more Mongol soldiers, while some were thrown into the water.

This was all orchestrated by Cha Nan. After all, the guy sitting on the roof seemed to be calculating. Although Cha Nan didn't understand the principles he used, he still knew the way to muddy the waters.

Sure enough, the young man on the roof frowned even more, then he flew straight down and landed steadily on the water, looking down at the ripples.

At this moment, his gaze seemed to transcend the water's barrier, meeting Cha Nan's eyes.

Cha Nan seemed to see fire and anger in his seemingly calm eyes.

"Get out of the way!" The message from Jellyfish Yin Ji arrived with the waves, and then the water surface suddenly exploded, with wave after wave crashing towards the young man like giant hands.

The young man's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he also swung his hand and struck out with a palm.

The subtle changes in the force of this palm strike were in no way inferior to those of the Water Mother Yin Ji. In fact, when the two forces converged, there was no earth-shattering explosion as one might expect. Instead, they intertwined and tore at each other, as if they were vying for control of the water flow.

"Who exactly is this person? How could she possibly compete with the Water Mother Yin Ji for the water flow?" If Cha Nan weren't in the water at this moment, she would have even taken out her notebook, which she had prepared in her spare time, and started looking for clues.
