Chapter 85: Chapter 84: The Snake Is Getting Beaten to Death
PSSSH!
Dazzling flames instantly engulfed the Wild Mountain Monkey, threatening to spread as they burned across its body!
"KREEE!"
With a shrill, furious cry, the Wild Mountain Monkey’s entire arm ignited. It glowed with a yellow light as the beast swung its fist with all its might.
The next moment, it was as if a boulder had crashed into the fireball.
"BOOM!"
A tremendous boom echoed through the sky, as if the heavens were falling and the earth splitting asunder.
Flames surged toward the sky, and countless embers rained down. The scorching heat forced the surrounding Demon Beasts to back away.
’It actually shattered it with a single punch?!’
Yu Changsheng watched this scene, utterly astonished.
That Small Success Fireball Technique had consumed a great deal of his Magical Power, and he had been certain it would be enough to kill the Wild Mountain Monkey.
But he hadn’t expected the Wild Mountain Monkey to be so powerful that it could shatter the fireball with its bare fist.
’Earth counters fire, so the elemental advantage is on its side. My previous success was purely because of a surprise attack. It was caught off guard.’
’In a direct confrontation, I’m still a bit outmatched. It’s a Tier One Peak Demon Beast, after all.’
Yu Changsheng wasn’t disappointed. After all, this Wild Mountain Monkey was a top-tier existence among Peak First-stage Demon Beasts, a creature that could run rampant in the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm. To defeat it so easily would be to underestimate it.
"However, the effects of the Scattered Demon Essence Pill are kicking in. How much longer can you last?" Yu Changsheng smiled at the Wild Mountain Monkey on the ground below.
Man and beast locked eyes.
The Wild Mountain Monkey furiously swung its arm, its fist launching a phantom image of a rock.
The Golden-Winged Eagle banked to the side, easily dodging the attack.
"If you could hit me from three hundred meters away, I might as well give up on being a Beast Master," Yu Changsheng said with a laugh, standing steadily on the Golden-Winged Eagle’s back.
The Wild Mountain Monkey couldn’t fly, which was its greatest disadvantage. It could only vent its rage on the nearby Red Refining Snake, hoping to kill it and force the Beast Master to come down.
The Red Refining Snake shoved aside two Black-striped Rhinos blocking its path. Showing no fear of the Wild Mountain Monkey, it opened its great maw and spat out a fireball.
Although its Realm was only the Tier One Eighth Layer, making it weaker than the Wild Mountain Monkey, it had already fully matured. Its bloodline was exceptionally potent, giving it a superior Demon Beast Physique.
Therefore, it would be difficult for the Wild Mountain Monkey to kill it in a short amount of time.
"KREEE!"
Seeing that the Red Refining Snake still dared to challenge it, the Wild Mountain Monkey flew into a rage. It swung its fists, landing several more blows on the snake and sending it reeling.
The snake’s body thrashed wildly through the forest, even sending a nearby Black-striped Rhino flying.
After a few more minutes of chaotic fighting, the Red Refining Snake was battered and bruised. Its Water Spirit Illusion Armor could no longer hold, and its scales were covered in blood and cracks.
It lay on the ground, looking up pitifully at the Golden-Winged Eagle and Yu Changsheng three hundred meters in the air, and let out a feeble cry.
Its cry seemed to say, ’Buddy, Master, come save me!’
’I can’t take it anymore! I really can’t take it anymore!’
’They’re going to beat this snake to death!’
This was no act; the Red Refining Snake wasn’t just playing the victim. If not for its powerful demon body and the Water Illusion Spirit Armor, it would have long since been killed by the Wild Mountain Monkey and the Black-striped Rhinos.
The only reason it was still breathing was because it was holding back its Demon Power and venom, not daring to release them recklessly. It was focusing all its energy on defense.
But even so, it had sustained heavy injuries. A few more minutes of this beating, and it would likely be dead.
In the air above, Yu Changsheng’s brow was tightly furrowed. He could see that the Red Refining Snake was at its limit.
’It’s at its limit. If I wait any longer, the Red Refining Snake will actually die.’
He had plenty of healing Elixirs. Besides, Demon Beasts possessed powerful life force; as long as they weren’t fundamentally injured, they could make a full recovery by resting in his Inner Realm for ten to fifteen days.
"Golden-Winged Eagle, go!"
Yu Changsheng had used Shadow Flash and the Fireball Skill in succession, and his remaining Magical Power was running low. He only had a few options left.
At his command, the Golden-Winged Eagle immediately dove.
But the Wild Mountain Monkey had been watching Yu Changsheng the entire time. The moment it saw him descend, it abandoned the Red Refining Snake and charged, roaring.
It vaulted off the head of a Black-striped Rhino, leaping into the air and throwing a punch.
The Golden-Winged Eagle was only at the Tier One Seventh Layer and didn’t dare to face it head-on. It immediately swerved in mid-air, dodging the punch.
When the Wild Mountain Monkey saw its attack miss, it whipped its head around, its expression changing drastically.
It saw that Yu Changsheng, who had been on the Golden-Winged Eagle, had used Shadow Flash to appear beside the Red Refining Snake. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed a Blood Returning Pill into its mouth.
"Go get some rest," Yu Changsheng said as he recalled the Red Refining Snake to his Inner Realm. He then brought out the Fan of Extinction and, with a single wave, blocked an approaching Black-striped Rhino with a gale of wind.
With a tap of his toes, Yu Changsheng activated the Wind Travel Skill, simultaneously throwing a Soul-Breaking Nail that killed one of the Wild Mountain Monkey’s companions.
At this sight, the Wild Mountain Monkey’s eyes turned an even deeper red. It charged forward recklessly, but its body began to sway and stumble.
"Looks like you can’t withstand the Scattered Demon Essence Pill any longer." A smile touched the corners of Yu Changsheng’s lips.
’To be honest, the fact that the Wild Mountain Monkey had resisted this long just by relying on its Realm was beyond my expectations. This is a Tier Two Elixir, after all. I can’t believe it took several minutes to fully affect a Tier One Peak creature.’
The Wild Mountain Monkey’s face flushed red. Just as it was about to swing its fist and summon an Earth Spike...
Yu Changsheng had already preempted it. Thousand Thoughts Slash!
His Divine Sense transformed into a sharp blade, piercing into the Wild Mountain Monkey’s mind with lightning speed. It struck directly at the core of its being, wounding its very soul.
Already exhausted and weakened, the Wild Mountain Monkey could no longer resist. Its body froze in mid-air, its throat convulsing as if trying to let out one final roar.
But Yu Changsheng’s Soul-Breaking Nail had already pierced its forehead.
THUD!
The Wild Mountain Monkey’s head snapped back as it crashed heavily to the ground, all signs of life gone.
Seeing this, its other Demon Beast companions went berserk and charged toward Yu Changsheng, their enraged roars and growls echoing endlessly.
Yu Changsheng dashed to the Wild Mountain Monkey’s side, scooped up the corpse into his System Space, and then used Shadow Flash to vanish from the midst of the besieging Demon Beasts.
He reappeared on the Golden-Winged Eagle’s back and said with a smile, "Farewell."
"Go!"
After finishing off the Wild Mountain Monkey, Yu Changsheng had little Magical Power left. Using the Thousand Thoughts Slash had also taken a heavy toll on his Divine Sense.
There were no Demon Beasts left on the field that could threaten him; the Black-striped Rhinos and the other beasts were only at the Tier One Seventh or Eighth Layer.
With a beat of its wings, the Golden-Winged Eagle carried Yu Changsheng far away.
Meanwhile, in the jungle, the Demon Beasts were furious. Having lost their target, Yu Changsheng, the Black-striped Rhinos immediately turned their attention to the other Demon Beasts.
Previously, this area had been under the Wild Mountain Monkey’s protection, so they could neither enter nor dare to cross the boundary. But now that the Wild Mountain Monkey was dead, they could seize this territory for themselves!
Black-striped Rhinos are herd animals, and they were numerous within the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm. How could a single stretch of grassland ever satisfy them?
And so, the battle among the Demon Beasts began anew.
As for Yu Changsheng, he had already reached a safe area. He dug a small hideout, consumed an Elixir, and began to recover.
