Chapter 424
: Meeting Zhu 9ge Again
One month later, on the main island.
Long Xuan opened his bright eyes, clenched his fists, felt the current power, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Is this the power of the late Spiritual Sea stage? It is indeed far beyond the mid-Spiritual Sea stage. Anyone who can fight above their level must be a monster."
"After breaking through the late stage of the Spiritual Sea, I feel more confident about my next trip to the Godly River Realm."
Long Xuan stood up and finally walked out of the space.
Outside the cave, seeing Long Xuan coming out of the cave, Shui Lao smiled slightly and said, "Have you broken through to the late stage of the Spiritual Sea? Yes, you are one of the few geniuses who can fight above your level. The late stage of the Spiritual Sea is enough for you in the God of the River Realm."
Long Xuan checked his realm and found that he was already in the late stage of Linghai. He couldn't help but smack his lips and sighed that this old Shui's cultivation speed was really fast.
"You have cultivated to the late stage of Spiritual Sea so quickly?" Long Xuan asked in surprise.
Shui Lao nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to your elixir, I still need to thank you for this."
"Your pills are of very high quality. I can almost break through to the peak of the spiritual sea before the tea tasting conference begins. Then I can definitely compete with Shui Wuqing." Shui Lao clenched his fists.
"The tea tasting conference is about to start. The journey is long, so we need to go there early. It's better to set off today than to wait for another day. I think we should set off today." Mr. Shui suggested with a smile.
"Okay! Then we'll set off today. I don't have anything to pack, so let's go now."
All of Long Xuan's things were in the stomach of the Heaven-Swallowing World Toad, so there was really nothing to pack.
The two of them simply collected the lightning rods outside and left the thunder swamp.
……
Another month later, Long Xuan and the other man stood on the high city wall of Huiyue City, looking at the ruins inside the wall with solemn eyes.
The tea tasting conference and wine tasting conference organized by Heshi was held in the Wine City of Huiyue Empire.
To reach Jiucheng, one has to pass Huiyue City, the imperial capital of Huiyue Empire.
When the two passed by Huiyue City and were about to go in to rest, they discovered such a tragic scene.
Millions of people in Huiyue Imperial City were killed. The city was full of corpses and blood. None of the buildings were intact. The imperial capital of a powerful empire was suddenly massacred by a mysterious force. How could the two not be shocked?
Long Xuan's heart was filled with shock and he asked in amazement, "What on earth happened here?"
"The Tianfeng Empire destroyed its imperial city because it lost half of its national fortune, and the Huiyue Empire also destroyed its imperial city after losing half of its national fortune."
"Is the illusory power of national destiny really so terrifying?"
Shui Lao stared at the scene in the city in amazement, and smacked his lips and said, "I never expected it, I really never expected how powerful Huiyue Imperial City is. There are many Gu cultivators in the Spiritual Sea stage everywhere, and there are as many powerful Gu Kings as dogs."
"It's really unexpected that such a powerful force could be destroyed so suddenly."
"Who on earth is responsible for this? Once Huiyue Imperial City is destroyed, the Huiyue Empire will probably be in turmoil."
Shui Lao's expression was extremely solemn.
"The bodies of the invading party have been cleared, and it is unclear which force was responsible."
"But it is expected that the war will end very quickly, so that the nearby major cities will be destroyed before they can rescue Huiyue City."
"This matter is not our concern. Let's go. The tea party is more important."
After Long Xuan finished speaking, he jumped off the city wall and continued walking towards the Wine City.
The matter had nothing to do with him, and he had no curiosity to investigate what force was behind it, so as to avoid getting himself into trouble.
Shui Lao frowned, but he finally jumped off the city wall and chased after Long Xuan...
The two men walked for a few more days, and one day, they stopped in front of a monkey's corpse.
"It turned out to be a monkey from Wanhou Mountain. Why would this kind of monkey appear in the heart of the human empire instead of staying in Wanhou Mountain?"
After taking a look at the monkey, Long Xuan frowned and asked in confusion.
He had previously thought about the Wannian Monkey Wine from Wanhou Mountain, so he had investigated the situation in Wanhou Mountain. He could still recognize that this kind of monkey came from Wanhou Mountain.
After checking the monkey's injuries, Shui Lao said, "Looking at the injuries, it's not difficult to tell that it was violently killed by a human Gu King."
"Things are getting weirder and weirder. First, Huiyue Imperial City was destroyed, and then the monkeys from Wanhou Mountain appeared here. Could it be that Huiyue City was destroyed by these monkeys?"
"How is this possible? Even if all the monkeys in Wanhou Mountain came out, they would never be able to be this powerful."
Long Xuan said: "No matter who destroyed Huiyue City, it has nothing to do with us. Let's continue on our journey."
He subconsciously put the corpse into his storage ring. The third-level spiritual beast was full of treasures and could be sold for a lot of money.
Even though this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket compared to his current wealth, picking up a corpse only takes a second, so why not do it?
However, just as he put the corpse into the storage ring, a "Hey!" sound suddenly rang out behind him.
Long Xuan only felt a strong wind coming from behind his head. His face changed and he quickly dodged to the side. It was because he was good at physical training and his reaction was fast enough that the stick brushed his shoulder and almost hit him.
Long Xuan turned his head to look at the attacker, and his expression suddenly became strange.
What appeared behind him was a little monkey with shining golden hair, but this monkey was wearing a set of spiritual armor that only humans would wear, and holding a stick-like spiritual weapon that only humans have in their hands.
What’s exaggerated is that this monkey has a ring-like spiritual weapon on each of his ten fingers.
That's not all. It actually had a bunch of jade pendants hanging around its waist, five necklaces hanging around its neck, earrings, a nose ring, a hat, shoes, and ten toes...
Shit! He’s armed to the teeth with all these spiritual weapons. They’re almost blinding his eyes.
Can you believe that a spiritual beast has so many human spiritual weapons on its body? It's really fucked up.
Just thinking about the spiritual beast that has so many spiritual weapons on it, you can tell it must be difficult to mess with.
Seeing the monkey's red eyes looking at him with hatred, Long Xuan finally realized something. His face changed slightly and he said awkwardly, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't kill that monkey just now?"
"Don't get me wrong. I collected its body because I couldn't bear to see it exposed in the wilderness. I just wanted to find a place to bury it and put it to rest in peace."
However, he was answered with another stick. The golden monkey would not listen to his explanation and swung the stick to hit his head.
"Bah!"
Long Xuan was frowning. What was going on? Didn’t he check the almanac before going out? Why was he so unlucky?
Facing the oncoming stick, Long Xuan did not dare to be careless and subconsciously blocked it with the Vajra Palm.
His palm instantly turned golden and collided with the iron rod that was swept over.
"clang!"
The golden palm collided with the iron rod, making a sound of metallic collision. Sparks flew between the rod and the palm. Long Xuan only felt a numbness in the palm of his hand. His expression changed slightly and he secretly sighed that the force was so great.
The golden monkey was also shocked by this attack and retreated three steps. He looked at him with shock, wondering if he was a spirit beast in human skin, as he could be so powerful.
It showed a solemn expression. After realizing that this opponent was not simple, it did not dare to underestimate him. After turning the stick in its hand a few times, it rushed towards Long Xuan again: "Hey!"
"You are such a stubborn monkey! Do you really think I am afraid of you?"
Seeing that this battle was unavoidable, Long Xuan had no choice but to fight.
Shui Lao, who was standing beside him, quickly stepped aside, showing a gloating smile, with no intention of helping at all.
He has already seen that this golden monkey is no ordinary one. It seems that it has extraordinary bloodline and its combat capability is far superior to that of normal monkeys. With the blessing of spiritual weapons, it is even more unstoppable. This is a good opportunity to test this kid's trump card.
How could Long Xuan not see through his little thoughts, he cursed him inwardly as an old fox, and immediately decided not to use any Gu. He wanted to force him to reveal his trump card, but he just couldn't do what he wanted.
Isn't it just a naughty monkey? He can take care of it with his bare hands.
A man and a monkey fought each other, and it was hard to tell who was who...
At this time, in the distance, a group of Gu cultivators with spiritual sea aura came quickly. After seeing the fight between a man and a monkey, they immediately stopped and watched from afar.
"It's actually the golden monkey. This golden monkey has the blood of a divine beast and has extraordinary combat power. It is considered the strongest of the third rank among the monkeys and the next monkey king of the monkey group."
"The combat power of this golden monkey exceeds that of most of the human race's geniuses. Now that it has a set of spiritual weapons to bless it, it is even more impossible for the human race's geniuses to defeat it."
"Who on earth is so foolish as to dare to provoke it? After the golden monkey is armed to the teeth with top-grade spiritual weapons, it is definitely not something that any Gu cultivator of the same level can defeat."
The crowd was talking about it, and their eyes were extremely fearful of the golden monkey.
Only a young girl showed a solemn expression and said, "Haven't you figured it out yet? That person didn't use any Gu, nor any spiritual weapons. He just relied on his physical strength to fight the golden monkey on equal terms."
"This person's physical skills are extremely powerful. All the physical skills he uses are things I have never seen before. From what I can see, his physical strength is much greater than that of this golden monkey. It's simply outrageous."
"The physical strength of a spirit beast is basically ten times greater than that of humans. This is the first time I've seen a Gu cultivator with a strength stronger than a spirit beast, and it's a spirit beast with the blood of a divine beast."
The girl's eyes stayed on the man, showing a look of great interest.
Upon hearing this, the crowd stopped talking and all looked carefully at the man. Soon, everyone looked solemn and took a breath of cold air.
"Who on earth is this person? The golden monkey with the blood of a divine beast is extremely powerful, yet this guy dares to fight it head-on, and even has the upper hand in a pure strength confrontation!"
"Hiss! Such terrifying physical strength. How did he cultivate it? What kind of physical training method did he use? This is the first time I've heard of a person's strength being greater than that of a spirit beast. This is simply a spirit beast in human form."
"What is the origin of this person? With such terrifying fighting ability, he should not be an unknown person."
"Tsk tsk! A Gu is not needed and it can actually suppress the golden monkey. This guy must be something special!"
The crowd started talking again, but this time, they were no longer gloating over Long Xuan's misfortune. Instead, they were looking at Long Xuan with fear and awe. (End of this chapter)
