Chapter 209 - 180: Real or Fake Monkey King?

Chapter 209: Chapter 180: Real or Fake Monkey King?

But what about the Monkey Brew?

Xia Yu couldn’t risk the Monkey Brew just to save these people.

After all, in a fight against a Monkey King at the Second Grade Spirit Ability Realm, she would have to go all out, leaving her unable to protect the Jade Basin in her backpack.

’Hide it?’

’That won’t work!’

Ever since she’d gotten the Monkey Brew, she’d felt a faint, persistent gaze on her.

But she could never find the lurker.

’What does this mean?’

’Either it’s my imagination...’

’Or, the other party is an expert at stealth and tracking, and their strength is no less than my own!’

HUFF.

Her mind racing, Xia Yu quickly made a decision.

She vanished from sight.

With her stealth and power, it was easy for her to approach the three Spiritual Apes fighting Little Flower on the chaotic battlefield.

Then...

SWOOSH.

SHNK.

Xia Yu struck suddenly.

Catching one off guard, she easily slew it.

SHNK.

With perfect coordination, Little Flower attacked at the same moment, instantly killing another Spiritual Ape.

Two of the three were dead.

The last Spiritual Ape was completely stunned.

Fear flooded its heart.

It reacted instinctively: flee!

’One against two.’

Its only chance at survival was to escape before they could surround it.

However, it was sorely mistaken.

Drawing on her vast combat experience, Xia Yu had already predicted its next move.

Then...

SHNK.

SHNK.

Caught in a pincer attack.

The Spiritual Ape was powerless to resist and was killed on the spot.

It all happened in an instant.

From the moment Xia Yu made her move, the entire exchange was over in two seconds.

Even the Monkey King had no time to intervene.

SWOOSH.

Xia Yu and Little Flower then charged toward the giant rock.

They were like wolves among sheep.

The two carved a bloody path and quickly reached the top of the giant rock, giving the others a much-needed moment to catch their breath.

"Yu."

"You’re finally back."

Hong She sighed in relief. "To break this stalemate, we have to kill that Monkey King," he said.

"Every time it roars, these Spiritual Apes get riled up and charge like their lives depend on it. We can’t hold out much longer."

"Mm."

Xia Yu nodded in agreement with Hong She’s assessment. She took off her backpack and handed it to Little Nannan. "Little Nannan, Xie Shaokun, Hong She, you have to protect this," she said.

"Little Flower and I are going to kill the Monkey King."

Little Nannan, Xie Shaokun, and Hong She all agreed.

Xia Yu lowered her voice to warn them, "Stay on your guard. There might be something lurking in the shadows with power rivaling the Monkey King’s."

!!!

The three of them froze in shock.

’Then...’

’What chance do we have???’

"Go!"

The words had barely left her mouth when she and Little Flower leaped off the giant rock.

They charged toward the Monkey King.

Second Sister-in-law and the others watched Xia Yu and Little Flower move with such freedom, their faces etched with envy.

That was what true strength looked like!

And they didn’t have it!

HOO HOO HOO.

The Monkey King was intelligent. It instantly realized the two were coming for it and ordered the Spiritual Apes at the rear to surround and attack them.

The combat prowess the pair had just displayed was astounding, and the King felt its life was in danger.

As a precaution.

It could not allow them to reach it.

ROAR.

ROAR.

...

Immediately, hordes of Spiritual Apes from the rear began a suicidal charge toward Xia Yu and Little Flower.

A death charge!

SHNK.

...

Large numbers of Spiritual Apes fell.

Xia Yu and Little Flower’s advance was indeed slowed. After all, even slaughtering a herd of pigs would take time.

Let alone a horde of fearless and powerful Spiritual Apes?

Halfway through the horde...

"Go."

Xia Yu suddenly grabbed Little Flower’s arm, spun, and launched her toward a towering, ancient tree nearby.

Little Flower landed neatly on the trunk and immediately began scrambling up.

She had to stall the Monkey King!

She couldn’t let it escape.

"Kill!"

Meanwhile, Xia Yu fought on alone, carving a path toward the ancient tree with maximum speed and efficiency.

「Back at the giant rock.」

At the Monkey King’s command, the Spiritual Apes’ assault continued.

"Have you all noticed you seem to have more strength?"

"That your wounds are healing with incredible speed?"

"That your strength, speed, and reflexes are far greater than before?"

Hong She roared, "It’s because the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power is tempering your bodies! Survive this, and every one of you will have the constitution of a Soldier King!"

"When that happens, the nation itself will re-evaluate your worth!"
