Chapter 175: Battle Between Man and Monkey
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the forest which did not stop trembling, a huge battle between man and a monkey giant could be seen.
The monkey giant was stabbed multiple times by Ye Mo, but all it did in response was respond with a look of ridicule towards him.
With a fierce roar, it clenched its fist. Following that, streams of energy surrounded the huge arm of the monkey giant, forming a stone dragon. The stone dragon pierced through the air, covering hundreds of steps with every stride. The gigantic stone dragon opened its mouth and took a huge breath, pulling Ye Mo’s body violently towards it with a devastating air current.
Monsters were capable of using martial arts techniques. The Long Armed Ape Monkey was still an Earth element monster, so whatever techniques it used was naturally Earth-based as well. This stone dragon before him was leaps and bounds ahead of the one summoned by Man Qi in the past in terms of power.
Ye Mo was about to release his Sky Blood Spear’s aggression before seeing the stone dragon charging towards him. He urged his body forward, charging towards the dragon as well, with his Blood Spear in hand, swinging at it.
“Death be upon you!”
The Formation-Breaking Spear landed right on the stone dragon’s head, an attack so powerful that even the reflected force made Ye Mo’s limbs go slightly numb.
“I guess this Black-Rock Wooden Spear Handle is no longer of any use – its flexibility can no longer catch up with my attacks.”
The giant stone dragon seemingly ignored Ye Mo’s spear strike, countering the attack head-on and sending a bite towards Ye Mo’s brain.
Taken by surprise by the attack, Ye Mo utilized a technique that was yet to be fully mastered – the Spiritual Shapeshifting Technique. Urging his body forward again, his legs did a gentle shuffle before turning into nothing but shadows, allowing him to escape the attack.
The giant stone dragon, missing its target, went straight into the ground, its whole body buried beneath the soil, sending debris flying and devastating tremble across the ground. A huge hole was made in the hard ground.
Witnessing the scene, Ye Mo could not help but feel shivers run down his spine.
“That casual attack from the monkey giant caused so much damage – frightening indeed. It appears that I can no longer reserve my strength.”
As he spoke, Ye Mo released the Sky Blood Spear, once again unleashing its cold ruthlessness.
In an instant, the sky started to change color, and the birds and other creatures in the forests all rustled. One may not be able to see the ruthlessness of the spear physically, but one can definitely feel it as if they were engulfed in it.
This was the true raw aggression of the Sky Blood Spear, fully unleashed.
The Long Armed Ape Monkey King saw the situation unfold as a fierce look flashed across its eyes. It was a descendent of a legendary beast – why would it be scared of this ruthless aura?
It let out a huge roar to assert its dominance. As the soundwave rose from the beast, Ye Mo detected its subtle attempt to counter the ruthless aura of the Sky Blood Spear. Ye Mo’s hair was sent flying backwards rigorously by its roar.
At that moment, the winds surrounding him turned into a violent spiralling whirlwind, with his body feeling like it was restricted by a soundwave barrier, like a lion unable to break free from its steel cage.
A soundwave of this magnitude would have caused internal bleeding and killed a normal fighter of the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm.
“What a powerful soundwave technique!”
Any ruthless aura released by Ye Mo dissipated under the angry roar from the Long Armed Ape Monkey King.
“It is one of the four legendary monkey creatures for a reason. The fighting techniques passed down are all extremely aggressive.”
Facing the pressure of the soundwave, it was as if Ye Mo was fighting another huge enemy on its own. It was the first time he felt this enormous amount of pressure held against him, but he knew that in order to truly realize his potential, his only option was to fight to the death.
Ye Mo completely unleashed his full aggression. Fire lit in his eyes as he prepared to fight an all-out war. Facing such dangers, he did not have any intention of retreating, bravely moving forward instead.
Ye Mo trembled, his body’s muscles and bones expanding, allowing the hundreds of waves of Dragon Power to be unleashed explosively. The aura of the Giant Dragon felt as if it was threatening to devastate every single living monster around him.
Whoosh!
Countering the huge pressure, Ye Mo bravely took a few steps forward before leaping up high in the air. Without hiding or dodging, Ye Mo held his Sky Blood Spear, which had unleashed its Assassination mode, and aimed for the Monkey Giant’s head.
The Long Armed Ape Monkey King was completely shocked. Staring at the incoming spear, it seemingly recalled the scene of its Long Armed Ape Monkey underlings all falling onto the ground. His soul started to tremble.
Roar!
The Long Armed Ape Monkey King let out another roar, grabbing the Sky Blood Spear with one hand. This roar was completely directed at Ye Mo, its devastating force causing Ye Mo to tremble and let go of the Sky Blood Spear. The force of the soundwave directly entered Ye Mo’s body, disregarding the layer of protection from the Dragon Blood and torturing the insides of his body.
“Rising Dragon Pillar, work your magic!”
The black whirlwind appeared again, and the every bit of the soundwave force diminished from existence, turning into more energy for the awakened Giant Dragon.
Ye Mo grabbed the Sky Blood Spear tightly once again, powered by the Blood Dragon. A blade of light on the spearhead morphed into a Sky Blood Whirlwind, distorting the surrounding air and forming a huge spiral airwave tornado aimed at the Long Armed Ape Monkey King’s chest.
The Long Armed Ape Monkey King obviously did not expect Ye Mo to counter his soundwave force and still mustered the strength to unleash another fierce attack. He did not try to counter the Sky Blood Cycle head-on but instead took a more defensive approach.
Its arm released its grip on the Sky Blood Spear, and with a wave of the arm, a huge energy shield appeared.
The Sky Blood Whirlwind was like a flood, continuously spiralling, striking the shield. Bala Bala’s voice rose, immediately shattering the shield, striking the chest of the Long Armed Ape Monkey King.
Arh-woooooooo!
The frightening spiralling force tore at the golden fur of the Monkey King, destroying it and finally striking a direct hit at its body.
Blood immediately flowed out, dripping down from the Long Armed Ape Monkey King’s body, which took several steps backwards.
“My ultimate move only barely injured it!”
Ye Mo spoke to himself, stunned. That Long Armed Ape Monkey was unbelievably strong.
“Fool, fool! Please escape now, you cannot defeat it!” said Ling’er.
“I have to fight even if I cannot defeat it. This guy is not too much stronger than me – I still have hopes of defeating it. If I escaped, the chances of defeating The Great King will become even slimmer. This is my heart as a warrior.”
As he spoke, the Giant Dragon unleashed continuous deafening roars. Surges of great energy channelled from Ye Mo’s surrounding and rose above him. Holding his Sky Blood Spear, Ye Mo charged at the stumbling Long Armed Ape Monkey King at a scary speed.
Unleash the strongest strike!
Boom!
The rampant spear was aimed towards the Long Armed Ape Monkey King’s chest, but the Monkey King had a high spiritual level. Focusing energy on its giant palm, it struck against the oncoming Sky Blood Spear.
The impact of the collision lifted all the surrounding debris, knocking down trees and opening a huge hole in the ground.
The Formation-Breaking Spear stabbed into the giant palm, unable to move an inch further, and the Black-Rock Wooden Spear Handle was bent downwards.
Eventually, the Black-Rock Wooden Spear Handle could no longer withstand the impact of the collision and completely disintegrated.
The Sky Blood Spear was broken!
Ye Mo did not expect that the handle to not be able to withstand the attack. What followed was a strong cyclone forming. Ye Mo was fanned away by the Long Armed Ape Monkey and sent shooting off like a cannonball. He directly crashed into a giant mountain, which collapsed upon impact as well.
Ye Mo, grabbing onto the tip of the mountain with one hand, coughed out mouthfuls of fresh blood. Without the Dragon Blood Defence, he would have been flattened like a meat pie.
“Fool, fool! I told you to escape from the start. It may not be fully developed, but it still belonged to one of the four legendary monkeys. The difference between both of you was simply too much. It would be impossible to defeat it. Use your Heavenly Frost Seal while it is still unprepared and let us escape!” Ling’er said.
“Escape? It took my spear!”
