Chapter 425
Things have changed
"What a weird taijutsu!"
Looking at the battle between the man and the monkey, Shui Lao's expression became more and more solemn.
He originally wanted to force Long Xuan to reveal his trump card, but he didn't expect that this guy could fight the monkey to a standstill without using any Gu, and even have a slight upper hand.
But this test was not without any gains. He was able to compete with a spiritual beast without using Gu, which exposed his terrifying fighting ability. If he was so powerful without Gu, how much stronger would he be with Gu?
I'm afraid that those Gu Kings who are in suppressed realms in the secret realm will not be a match for this boy. Shui Lao immediately gave such an evaluation in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little wary of Long Xuan again.
At this time, the battle between the man and the beast finally came to an end.
Long Xuan leaped into the air, stood upside down, and slashed heavily at the golden monkey below with his palm.
"Tathagata Palm!"
The golden monkey raised the iron rod with both hands to block, but the moment the iron rod came into contact with the palm, it felt as if it was bearing the weight of a mountain.
Such a weight was simply not something it could bear. Under the huge weight, it immediately knelt on one knee, and its knee hit the ground heavily, splashing up a cloud of dust.
At the same time, Long Xuan kicked down with his right foot, hitting it hard in the chest.
The top-grade spiritual armor that could obviously defend against most attacks seemed to be ineffective at this moment.
The golden monkey only felt that the huge force ignored the barrier of the spiritual armor and directly penetrated the body's surface defense to attack its internal organs.
"puff!"
The golden monkey spat out blood wildly, and his body flew sideways. The stick in his hand also flew high up, and finally it hit a tree heavily and broke it before rolling to the ground and stopping.
He got up in a panic, looked at Long Xuan with horror, turned around and ran back at a very fast speed, not daring to fight him again.
"Chase them quickly! Eliminate all the evil! Monkeys are very vindictive!" Shui Lao reminded loudly at this time.
However, Long Xuan's Eye of Divine Secret saw from a very far distance that a fourth-level spirit monkey was driving a spirit chariot and flying towards this side at a very fast speed. How could he dare to waste time chasing the golden monkey at this time?
"Go quickly!"
Long Xuan's face changed, and he turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
There was no time to explain now. If Mr. Shui listened to him, then that was fine. If not, then he couldn't do anything about it.
Seeing that he looked a little flustered, Shui Lao, although he didn't know what had happened, guessed that it was definitely not a good thing, so he was too lazy to ask and obediently chased Long Xuan away.
At this time, the group of onlookers had not yet come to their senses, and their eyes were dull. This man actually defeated the divine monkey wearing a body full of spiritual weapons with his bare hands. They simply could not believe their eyes.
However, just as they were stunned, a fourth-level spirit monkey driving a chariot-like spirit weapon flew towards them from the sky at an extremely fast speed.
"Who hurt my son?"
A deafening roar of rage came from the sky, and everyone's face changed immediately.
"How is this possible? Isn't the fourth-level spirit monkey currently fighting with the human race's Gu King? How could it appear here? This is really unlucky!"
"No! Run!"
Everyone was shocked and their faces turned pale. They dared not stay here anymore and turned around to run.
However, they were a step too slow after all. As soon as they turned around, a bolt of lightning came towards them.
Except for a girl who was instantly teleported away, and a boy whose body suddenly turned into water and escaped from under the soil, this group of people were all blasted into pieces by the flying lightning, and no one survived.
"Son! Check to see if the murderer who hurt you is among them!"
……
Looking back, seeing that the fourth-level spirit monkey had not caught up, Long Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. God knows why a spirit beast would ride a chariot that only humans have. It came in a flash. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stayed away from the range of its soul power perception early, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"What's going on? What did you see just now? Why do you look so panicked and run so fast?" Shui Lao asked puzzledly.
After all, he did not have the eyesight of Long Xuan. Even if Old Long had the soul perception of the Gu King, he was unable to detect the spirit beast in the first place.
Long Xuan did not answer him. Instead, he looked at the ground where the progress was displayed and immediately said:
"Who? I see you, come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of water flowed out from the ground and slowly condensed into the shape of a person.
Seeing this figure, Long Xuan couldn't help but look strange. Who else could this person be but Shui Juanyun? He didn't expect that these two old acquaintances would meet again. What a fate.
This face was exactly the face of the person whose body Shui Juanyun possessed. He still remembered it vividly, but he did not expect that he did not die in the battle with the Teng family. He was really lucky.
He was recognized by Long Xuan at a glance, but Long Xuan always used a different face when he went out, so Shui Juanyun really didn't recognize him. After seeing that his whereabouts were easily discovered, he was slightly shocked, and really couldn't figure out how he was exposed.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to follow you. It just happened that the direction I chose to escape was the same as yours, and we didn't change direction halfway, so we ended up walking together."
The person in front of him made him extremely wary. He did not dare to make enemies with this person, so he hurriedly explained.
"Do you know what happened in Huiyue City? What happened to that spirit beast covered in spiritual weapons?"
"I have never seen a spiritual beast that can use spiritual tools. This is simply outrageous."
Shui Lao was much more curious than Long Xuan. He could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked immediately.
"I just learned about this matter when I arrived here, and I don't know much about it."
"I only know that there is a monkey beast named Qi Chi who learned the human race's weapon refining technique and honed it to the pinnacle. He is unrivaled by any genius human weapon refiner. In the end, this spirit beast won the championship of the weapon refining competition."
"After this monkey learned the weapon refining technique, as expected, he immediately refined a large number of spiritual weapons to arm his own tribe."
"Monkeys have bodies similar to humans, and are the most suitable spiritual animals for using spiritual weapons. After the monkeys acquired spiritual weapons, their combat effectiveness instantly soared. Their overall combat effectiveness at least tripled, and they instantly destroyed Huiyue City in the first battle."
Shui Juanyun showed a fearful look on his face, and said solemnly: "A spirit beast that can refine weapons is too threatening to humans. If the art of refining weapons spreads everywhere in the spirit beast world and is passed down forever, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Even if each of those transformed demon kings holds a life-defining spiritual weapon, they are still a huge threat to humans."
"Everyone knows the seriousness of this matter, so all the major forces in the Western Region united at the first opportunity and dispatched a large number of Gu Kings to encircle and suppress this weapon idiot."
"The number of Gu Kings gathered together for this incident far exceeds your imagination. Even many demon cultivators and independent cultivators who want to seize the artifact, the Prisoner Heaven Stick, have come uninvited."
"It is no exaggeration to say that the number of Gu Kings gathered by the Demon Slayer Order is not even a fraction of what happened in this incident. The strongest humans will do whatever it takes to eradicate this Gu King as quickly as possible. They will not be able to sleep peacefully if they delay for another day."
"There will be a lot of excitement to watch in the next period of time. Even if the weapon maniac is successfully eradicated, his Prisoner Heaven Stick, which is known as the third artifact in the Gu world, will also cause a bloody storm. I wonder how many people will die in the process of fighting for this artifact."
Shui Juanyun said excitedly, fearing that the world would be in chaos.
Upon hearing this, Long Xuan was surprised. He didn't expect that such a big thing happened in the Huiyue Empire and he happened to be there. He would be staying in the Huiyue Empire for a while and he didn't know if he would be affected by this incident.
His eyes suddenly became thoughtful. A spiritual beast that could refine weapons. He thought of the spiritual beast that came to his shop to trade for the alloy beetle armor that day. Could it be him?
Could it be that the Prisoner Heaven Stick, which ranks third in the Gu Realm, was made from his fourth-grade alloy? No way? His face turned strange.
At this moment, Shui Lao's expression became extremely ugly, his face was as dark as it could be. He didn't care how chaotic the world was, nor did he care how many people would die. What he was thinking about at this moment was another problem.
This event caused a large number of Gu Kings to gather in Huiyue City, and the dates of the tea tasting conference and the wine tasting conference happened to be very close to this event.
Then the tea and wine party will begin. Seeing that the mysterious river realm is very close to them, will the group of Gu Kings go in to take a look?
How many Gu Kings will gather in the He Shen Mystic Realm by then?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, his scalp began to tingle.
This is a big trouble. This time, a large number of Gu Kings will probably flood into the River God Mystery Realm, and the danger level may increase tenfold.
Originally, he was fully confident of his trip to the mysterious land of the river god, but with the appearance of a large number of Gu Kings, a huge variable has now appeared, and the situation has completely gone out of his control. (End of this chapter)
