The Mysterious Republic of China, the Ultimate Martial Saint!

Chapter 1 Yang Jian

"Thump!"

At the Meijiang Wharf, a figure suddenly jumped into the river, and thick blood quickly spread in the water.

"Someone has fallen into the water!"

A female student wearing a blue shirt and black skirt, standing by the roadside, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

At the dock, a group of burly men in gray short jackets silently watched the river, but no one went into the water to rescue them.

In front of this group of burly men, there was another figure that was even more conspicuous.

This man had a neatly parted hairstyle, a handsome face, eyes like peach blossoms, and an upright posture. He was wearing a trendy blue seven-button, four-collar Zhongshan suit, and his refined and scholarly demeanor was completely different from others.

Yang Jian stared intently at the spot where the person had fallen into the water, his gaze fixed on it.

The person who fell into the water didn't die; he could still swim and was leisurely swimming towards the shore.

In the river, a dark shadow quietly emerged from the bottom and quickly swam towards the person in the water.

"One team tightened the leather rope."

Yang Jian stared intently at the location of the dark figure in the water, and after a moment, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of burly men next to Yang Jian quickly tightened the leather ropes in their hands.

Upon hearing the commotion, the person in the water, contrary to his usual behavior, frantically swam towards the shore.

"Snap!"

Suddenly, an iron cage appeared in the water and closed rapidly.

Inside the iron cage appeared a small creature, covered in black fur, with oily green eyes, resembling an ape.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

The ape-like creature glanced fiercely at Yang Jian and the others on the shore, then used its sharp claws to grab the iron cage that confined it, trying to tear it apart.

"Sizzle!"

In the blink of an eye, it had left conspicuous dents and scratches on the iron cage, which seemed to be on the verge of breaking. It seemed that the iron cage could not stop it.

"Second team, pull the net!"

Seeing this, Yang Jian decisively shouted.

Strong men were seen pulling the ropes tightly along the roadside and at the dock.

Three large, specially made fishing nets emerged from the water, tightly wrapping around the iron cage and further reinforcing it layer by layer.

Before any gaps appeared in the iron cage, it was completely surrounded by a specially made fishing net.

"Chirp!"

The ape-like creature inside the iron cage roared angrily upon seeing this.

It is still struggling and has not given up.

"They all worked together to pull it ashore."

Seeing this, Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

"Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"

Upon hearing this, the strong men on the dock and shore all exerted their strength.

With everyone's combined efforts, the fishing net and the iron cage were quickly pulled ashore.

The ape-like creature inside the iron cage suddenly stopped struggling and curled up the moment it left the water.

"That looks like a water monkey!"

"When Er Gou's youngest son fell into the Meijiang River and couldn't swim back up, I said it was because of water monkeys!"

"The water monkey looks so ugly!"

Passersby gathered around to watch the monkey-like creature that had been pulled up into the iron cage.

Upon seeing the creature in the cage, some people recognized its identity at a glance.

"We've finally caught this wicked beast. It wasn't for nothing that you went to all that trouble, Second Young Master."

"Second Young Master, what should we do with this monster?"

Wearing a felt hat, Sun Dapao quickly walked to Yang Jian's side, bent down, and looked up to ask.

"Of course, kill!"

Yang Jian responded decisively.

A gleaming silver spear appeared in his hand, its shaft straight and its tip sharp, clearly a finely crafted spear of unparalleled sharpness.

Yang Jian raised his spear with one hand, and with a swift movement, the spear pierced through three layers of fishing nets and thrust towards the water monkey in the iron cage.

Its movements were swift, like a long dragon.

"Clang!!!"

Just as the spear tip was about to pierce the water monkey's throat, the water monkey, which had been curled up, revealed its ferocious nature.

The sharp claws blocked the gun tip, emitting a sharp, piercing noise.

"Waist and stance as one!"

"Elephantic power!"

"Fire the gun!"

Yang Jian stood as straight as a pine tree, and with a slight movement of his waist, a tremendous force erupted from his body.

The spear in his hand transformed into a series of afterimages, raining down on the water monkey's sharp claws.

"Snap!"

The water monkey's sharp claws were shattered by Yang Jian's spear, which then pierced the water monkey's throat.

Pale green blood gushed from the water monkey's throat, and soon the water monkey stopped struggling completely.

Seeing this, Yang Jian fired several more shots, aiming directly at the limbs, heart, and other areas, piercing through them one by one.

He only put away his gun and walked over when he saw the two white lights fall from the water monkey's head. Before he could even reach out to pick them up, the two white lights flew directly into his mind.

Yang Jian was taken aback for a moment upon seeing this, but quickly recovered.

"The three of you take the water monkey's corpse out, put it in the carriage, and follow me to your residence."

"The rest of you, once you've cleaned this place up, you can go back and collect your reward!"

Yang Jian glanced at the people around him, and seeing that they didn't seem to be acting strangely, he pointed to the three people beside him and gave them instructions.

"The Second Young Master is mighty."

"From this day forward, the Second Young Master's fame will spread throughout the entire Yongkang County!"

When Sun Dapao saw Yang Jian walking over with his spear, he bowed and fawned over him.

"You three hurry up and get it done. Don't keep the second young master waiting, or you'll be sorry."

After seeing Yang Jian get into the carriage, Sun Dapao urged the three men who were working on the iron cage.

Before long, the three men wrapped up the water monkey's body and placed it on the carriage.

"Da da da!"

The carriage drove away.

The three men jogged alongside them.

The marks on the ground were quickly cleaned up.

"I've heard that the blood of water monkeys can cure all diseases, quickly dip your steamed bun in it."

"They've all been washed by water, what's the point?"

"Let's give it a try first!"

After Yang Jian and the others left, two middle-aged women with bitter expressions ran out from among the onlookers by the roadside. They took out moldy steamed buns from their pockets and dipped them in the slightly greenish water stains on the ground.

Passersby were not surprised by this scene; on the contrary, they took it for granted, as if it were commonplace.

"Yang Erlang killed the messenger of the water god in the Meijiang River and has been cursed by the water god."

"If he cannot obtain the water god's forgiveness, he will surely not live long!"

"He won't live much longer!"

Suddenly, the filthy old sorceress rushed out from the crowd and said in a sinister tone.

He even shouted out the last sentence.

Upon hearing this, passersby quickly moved away from the old sorceress, fearing they would be implicated.

Yang Erlang is the second son of the county magistrate. In Yongkang County, there are not many people who dare to offend him.

That old sorceress dares to curse Yang Jian here; she's bound to suffer the consequences.

......

Inside the carriage, Yang Jian was resting with his eyes closed. Seeing this, Sun Dapao dared not say anything to disturb him.

He was able to work for Yang Jian not because he was capable, but because he had a good father.

His father had warned him, "Listen to the second young master and do your duty," a word that Sun Dapao always kept in mind.

Yang Jian closed his eyes at this moment not to rest, but to examine something.

There was a blue interface in his eyes that only he could see.

Within this interface are the two white orbs of light that had just flown into his body.

Yang Jian's consciousness focused on the two orbs of light.

[White attribute point *3]

[White Talent: Underwater Breathing]

The above content is exactly the same as what he saw on the water monkey's head when the water monkey emerged from the water.

Yang Jian's eyes are different from ordinary people's.

He could see some special orbs of light above the heads of those strange creatures.

After the strange creature dies, these special orbs of light will fall and be automatically picked up by him.
