Chapter 305: The Monkey Slaughters the Saints
In that moment, Cheng Lingyu swiftly retreated, pulling Wan Fang and Hu Yuer back.
Feixue and Qiu Yu also heeded Cheng Lingyu’s warning, stepping backward.
Shui Yingyue, Ye Anlan, and Yunxiu radiated light, channeling all their power into the Holy Artifacts above them to assist the man in splendid attire in breaking the seal.
The other experts rushed forward, lunging for the dragon-shaped jade hook to claim the divine weapon.
The tranquil time and space shattered like fractured sky, instantly erupting into chaos.
Crimson light engulfed everything, drowning all brilliance.
A crisp snap echoed as the dragon-shaped jade hook shifted from horizontal to vertical, translucent like amber. It swayed gently in the void, obliterating the world in an instant.
The cave entrance exploded. Experts who had charged forward screamed as blood sprayed like scattered petals.
Yang Yan cursed under his breath, yanking Hua Yuehong and Bai Ruomei aside. They evaded the dragon-shaped jade hook’s lethal edge through unfathomably mystical means—a fortune others lacked.
From Jiu Yang Sacred Palace, Chen Chaodong perished instantly, his blood and flesh shredded and devoured by the hook.
In Tianlei Sacred Church, Thunder Rider Spirit Master and another Spirit Master led the charge. Thunder Rider Spirit Master suffered grave injuries, while his companion was slain by the jade hook.
From Shanhua Alliance, Charming Pen Spirit Master was gravely wounded, Bloodwing King lay dead, and only Chang Yun remained untouched, having stayed back.
Bloodlight coiled around the dragon-shaped jade hook as it hovered mid-air like a crimson dragon, basking in the awed gazes of the crowd.
Nearby, the man in splendid attire—aided by Shui Yingyue, Ye Anlan, and Yunxiu—broke free of his seal. He sprang upward, eyes snapping open.
As his eyes opened, time and space rippled. The turbulent void stilled, painting an eerie tableau.
The man glared at the dragon-shaped jade hook, bloody light erupting from his brow. He thrust his right hand toward it, intent on seizing control.
The hook pulsed with soft crimson light, spiritual patterns swirling across its surface. It offered no resistance.
Yang Yan, Daoist of the Three Suns, Silver Feather Spirit Master, Thunder Rider Spirit Master, Charming Pen Spirit Master, and others tensed. They lunged for the hook once more.
Shui Yingyue, Ye Anlan, and Yunxiu shouted, wielding their Holy Artifacts to block anyone from interfering.
The five from Lou Ri City watched from afar, expressions shifting between shock and curiosity.
Hu Yuer tugged Cheng Lingyu’s sleeve. “You foresaw this?”
“I suspected part of it,” Cheng Lingyu began—
Light suddenly dimmed. Overwhelming hatred crashed down, laced with fury, targeting the man in splendid attire.
Boom! The void split as a black iron rod shattered the sky, striking toward the man with devastating force.
The man’s face tightened. He punched the rod—only to be blasted backward, blood gushing from grave injuries.
Shui Yingyue reacted instantly, her Holy Artifact streaking toward the rod. Their clash mid-air shook the battlefield.
Ye Anlan and Yunxiu shielded the fallen man.
Yang Yan reached the dragon-shaped jade hook first. His fingers brushed it—
A shadow erupted forth, radiating ferocious malice. A brutal attack smacked Yang Yan away.
Experts behind him collided with the shadow. Roars and cries of despair tore the sky as Spirit Masters were hurled back.
Qiu Yu gaped. “Black Desire Monkey!”
Wan Fang and Feixue stared, frozen in disbelief.
“How did it appear here and attack the man in splendid attire?”
Chang Yun, who hadn’t joined the scramble for the dragon-shaped jade hook, stared at the Black Desire Monkey with grave seriousness on her lovely face.
When experts from Lou Ri City and the Shanhua Alliance previously unleashed the Black Desire Monkey, they’d fled in terror from its might.
Now after many days, the creature had grown stronger, having recovered much of its former power.
Gripping its black iron rod, the Black Desire Monkey stood guard beside the dragon-shaped jade hook, astonishing the onlookers.
Shui Yingyue turned pale when the Holy Artifact above her was struck back by the iron rod, leaving her injured.
Blood trickled from the lips of the man in splendid attire as Ye Anlan and Yunxiu shielded him, his face contorted with fury.
Yang Yan stood grim-faced between Bai Ruomei and Hua Yuehong.
Other experts glared warily at the monkey, hostility and fear warring in their eyes.
The Black Desire Monkey’s murderous aura shook the heavens as it fixed blazing eyes on the man in splendid attire, attacking with its iron rod.
Ye Anlan and Yunxiu paled, summoning Holy Artifacts to clash fiercely with the beast.
Though only in the Blood Martial Realm, their Holy Artifacts let them fight with Spirit Master-level power.
The monkey’s black rod battered back the Holy Artifacts relentlessly. Ye Anlan and Yunxiu spat blood, gravely injured and unable to resist.
When Shui Yingyue joined the fray, the three women fought together but still couldn’t match the beast.
The man in splendid attire released horrifying disturbance from his brow as he battled the monkey.
Their earth-shaking combat rattled the sky.
The Black Desire Monkey’s unmatched combat strength met the man’s terrifying cultivation level. Supported by three Holy Artifacts, the battle hung in balance.
Yang Yan watched the man in splendid attire with shadowed eyes. Qiu Yu frowned at the monkey. Other experts despaired at their fading hopes for the jade hook.
A loud bang echoed as the man in splendid attire was beaten back, blood spraying. The monkey pressed its attack, murderous intent focused on destroying the Xuan Star Saint’s heir.
Shui Yingyue, Ye Anlan and Yunxiu desperately intervened, only to be swatted aside by the iron rod.
The man leaped mid-air, shifting positions frantically but unable to shake the monkey’s pursuit.
The Black Desire Monkey grew fiercer with each strike, nearing breakthrough from Spirit Martial Realm to Sacred Martial Realm.
The man roared, divine light flashing from his brow to repel attacks, but the tide kept turning against him.
The three women screamed desperately, driving their Holy Artifacts recklessly to protect the man even through mutual destruction.
Spectators retreated in terror, certain of the man’s doom.
How tragic for a saint’s legacy inheritor – sealed for eons only to die upon emergence.
The man tried desperately to escape through time and space, but the monkey blocked every attempt.
Bleeding and broken, the three women kept charging, determined to carve an escape route.
Witnesses fell silent. Regardless of the man’s status as saint inheritor, the women’s unwavering devotion moved all who saw.
The man in splendid attire roared skyward, eyes blazing with defiance and wrath, exuding the sorrow of a hero’s end.
By this stage of the great battle, escape seemed impossible. Abandoning flight, the man launched frenzied attacks, determined to prove his worth through blood and flame rather than submit to fate!
The Black Desire Monkey unleashed devastating blows with unstoppable divine might, fiery eyes fixed on annihilating its target.
The three women gasped in alarm. Had they not been protected by Holy Artifacts, they’d have perished already.
Though evading desperately, the man couldn’t escape the monkey’s assault. A pained scream tore from his throat as the impact sent him sprawling.
Space itself ruptured with a thunderous crack. A black iron rod pierced through time and space, materializing above the man too swiftly for any reaction.
“No… Don’t!”
Shui Yingyue, Ye Anlan, and Yunxiu released heart-wrenching screams, lunging forward helplessly as death descended.
The Black Desire Monkey’s icy glare radiated tangible killing intent potent enough to destroy Blood Martial Realm experts.
In his final moment, the man cursed heaven itself with desperate fury.
“It’s finished.”
Spectators recognized the inevitable outcome. Some mourned while others secretly rejoiced at the man’s impending demise.
As the black rod descended, a giant palm print materialized from the void, intercepting the lethal strike at the critical instant.
The ephemeral hand shattered upon deflecting the rod. Drenched in cold sweat, the man scrambled sideways.
Bystanders glanced around bewildered, finding no source for the intervention.
The enraged monkey swung its weapon again with world-shattering force, determined to end its prey.
Space rippled as the palm print reappeared, clashing violently against the rod. Both forces dissipated in a thunderous collision, leaving neither victorious.
“What is that?”
Murmurs of confusion spread through the crowd.
“That’s the Void Great Palm,” Yang Yan revealed, “A supreme technique created by the Xuan Star Saint himself.”
Cheng Lingyu frowned. “Cangling Blood Wing Bird?”
