CHAPTER 658: CHAPTER 409 IRON-ARMED MONKEY KING: OLD YAN, SAVE ME! _2

Fast speed, strong power, combined with a spiritual attack that’s hard to guard against, the ’Demon Snail Monkey’ is not an easy opponent.

But this time, it miscalculated—

"Yah!"

The Demon Snail Monkey launched a mental attack, stabbing fiercely and rushed forward to make a fatal strike while the Iron-Armed Monkey King was clutching its head, but as it approached, the Iron-Armed Monkey King suddenly lifted its head and made a grotesque face at it—

Disgusting!

Truly disgusting!

"Die!"

The Iron-Armed Monkey King let out a roaring shout, clearly immune to the spiritual attack, but pretended to be hurt to lure the Demon Snail Monkey close. In an instant, both palms rose fiercely—

Slam!

The palms landed like crushing stones!

Savagely slamming down on the Demon Snail Monkey’s head.

"Crack!"

The Demon Snail Monkey heard a cracking sound as its skull was shattered.

Wobbling but refusing to fall, it leaped up and tried to flee.

But the Iron-Armed Monkey King picked up an iron hammer from the ground and threw it ferociously—

Rumble!

With wind and fire!

A heavy hammer strike fell hard on the Demon Snail Monkey.

At this—

"Wa~"

The Demon Snail Monkey let out a sorrowful scream, its injuries worsening.

The Iron-Armed Monkey King was fierce, chasing it with Dragon Walk Tiger Steps, grabbing it with two palms—

Bang bang bang!

Furious hammering!

Explosive pounding!

The Iron-Armed Monkey King, extremely fierce.

Like a whirlwind, it hammered out thirteen punches, pounding the Demon Snail Monkey dead on the ground. With ’spiritual attacks’ being ineffective, the Demon Snail Monkey’s close combat strength was merely at the level of a common peak state Alien Beast.

Compared to the Iron-Armed Monkey King—

Completely not a match.

"Yah!"

The Iron-Armed Monkey King beat the Demon Snail Monkey into a half-dead state, then, holding it in one hand and a big hammer in the other, its body darting like lightning, it sprinted towards the waters, throwing the half-dead Demon Snail Monkey into the water, thereafter sitting cross-legged on the shore, motionless.

Meanwhile, underwater.

A giant reptilian beast measuring over eight meters with its body and tail combined opened its gaping mouth, easily swallowing the Demon Snail Monkey.

It then swayed and vanished into the depths of the water habitat.

After a while.

By the rock cave on the shore, the Iron-Armed Monkey King suddenly opened its eyes—

"Roar!"

It let out an angry howl towards the sky and sprang up to leave!

"Monkey King!"

"Do not leave!"

Above the water, a monster stirred up waves as it arrived, and looking at the monster—

It had eight heads with human faces, a tiger body, eight legs, and eight tails, its color cyan and yellow, exhaling clouds and smoke!

Extremely fierce.

Yet it could speak human words—

"Capture the Monkey King!"

"Alive!"

This monster with eight heads and human faces seemed to have separate consciousnesses, each communicating and sometimes arguing among themselves while pursuing the Iron-Armed Monkey King, but one head seemed to be the main brain, often making a conclusive decision.

Eight tails swaying.

Eight legs treading waves.

This monster was fast, capturing turtles with its left hand and snakes with its right. During the pursuit, its right hand raised, the black snake spat water—

Boom!

Mountains crumbled and ground shattered!

"Yah!"

The Iron-Armed Monkey King, with steel bones, darted out from the rubble, continuing to flee through the dense forest.

Dodging to the left and right.

Constantly evading.

Yet unable to escape.

Fortunately, even though the monster behind it had eight legs, they seemed to be clumsy, occasionally tripping itself, allowing it to survive precariously, but the monster was always able to catch up, and as soon as it became more fluid, it would be the death of the Iron-Armed Monkey King!

"Yah!"

Such bad luck!

The Iron-Armed Monkey King considered life and death lightly; it was not afraid of death, but having just established a foothold at Nanyue Lake, if it were to die, half a year’s work would be ruined.

Unwillingness!

"Yah!"

The Iron-Armed Monkey King roared, even though it considered life and death lightly, it was indeed fleeing for its life with every ounce of its strength, having already discarded its hammer long ago.

Run, run, run!

Escape, escape, escape!

But no matter how hard it tried, not only was it unable to widen the gap, but it was also repeatedly being caught up and repeatedly in danger.

"Wait a bit longer!"

"Almost there!"

"But can’t hold on!"

The Iron-Armed Monkey King crossed a mountain, rolling down like plowing the earth, "Divert the flood east! Innate Beast King!"

The Iron-Armed Monkey King was familiar with many of the territories of Innate Beast Kings within the Nanyue Lake area; in moments of crisis, it couldn’t care about offense and rushed directly to the nearest ’Mo Hushou Beast King’ territory.

But before it could arrive, danger was already upon it.

"Bad luck!"

The Iron-Armed Monkey King senses the strong wind and cold air from behind, full of helplessness, but as it looked ahead its eyes gleamed with a golden light, latching onto a chance for survival, it shouted: "Yan Chuan save me!"

...

Nearly a year had passed since Yan Chuan entered Nanyue Lake again, feeling entirely different.

"Back then, I had just broken the limit, like walking on thin ice in Nanyue Lake, frightened of encountering a beast I couldn’t handle."

Yan Chuan followed his memory towards Iron Arm Monkey Mountain, recalling how frightening it was when he first came to Nanyue Lake!

Holding the ’Miracle Item·Thousand-Mile Telescope’ enhanced by ’Treasure Rock’, relying on its night vision and X-ray abilities, advancing cautiously, he finally reached Iron Arm Monkey Mountain.

Anxious and cautious!

Not to be spoken of lightly.

However, now it’s different—

"My senior brother proved the Dao, ordinary Innate Beast Kings are not even worth noticing." Chen Ze was very clear about Yan Chuan’s strength, with the "Holy Fire Order Divine Skill" plus "Wave Riding Micro Steps," even against the Mother Bear King·Xiong Da of Innate Fifth Layer or Sixth Layer, Yan Chuan might hold his own, not to mention bullying the likes of Innate Second Layer or Third Level Bear King·Xiong Er.

Eight Realms Ultimate Skill!

Yan Chuan was truly strong!

With such power and having the ’Fifth Rank·Jiazi Tai Sui’ as trump card, Yan Chuan could walk almost unhindered across Nanyue Lake, no longer having to tread carefully.

Moving swiftly.

Along the way, Yan Chuan looked around the nearby mountain peaks, seeing no trace of the Iron-Arm Monkey Group’s presence, perhaps already cleared by the Black Dragon Heavy Cavalry.

But another possibility couldn’t be ruled out—after all, Nanyue Lake was vast, with countless mountains and waters, hiding a troop of three to five Iron-Arm Monkeys in remote corners and deep mountain dells, even for someone Innate like Yan Chuan, it might not be easy to discover with mere naked eyes.

Not seeing doesn’t mean non-existence.

Carrying doubts.

Yan Chuan looked around and continued his journey.

Soon.

Iron Arm Monkey Mountain was near.

At this moment, there was a commotion of a chase and fight, and Yan Chuan, with Chen Ze, moved to look, and saw a monster with eight heads and human faces, eight legs, and eight tails chasing to kill the Iron-Armed Monkey King.

Monster!

Alien Beast!

Chasing and killing.

In Nanyue Lake, even if the monster was bizarre, it was actually normal.

But watching the Iron-Armed Monkey King running, Yan Chuan noticed it crossing through the air, its body shifting between Swallow Ascending and Kite Descending, Dragon Walk Tiger Step, Eagle Flying and Horse Walking, and Monkey Jumping and Snake Walking, utilizing every change in movement technique prowess, with each leap covering great distances.

This movement technique wasn’t remarkable, whatever Yan Chuan’s created Absolute Skill, whether "Ladder Cloud Jump" or "Heaven and Earth Net Formation," when it came to subtlety, all surpassed it, let alone compared with "Wave Riding Micro Steps."

What surprised Yan Chuan was not this movement technique’s subtlety of Qinggong but that he recognized the Iron-Armed Monkey King’s movement technique as one inspired by Jiang Bianliu’s insights from Xingyi Boxing—

"Heavenly Travel?!"

Yan Chuan recognized the movement technique, he was slightly taken aback.

Immediately.

Before he could think deeply, the Iron-Armed Monkey King surprisingly spoke human words, shouting—

"Old Yan save me!"

...

"Ah?"

Yan Chuan was stunned, but not slow in his actions, raising his hand to fire two shots of "Finger Snapping Divine Ability" blocking the monster, the Iron-Armed Monkey King took the opportunity to roll and escape a life. Now that the savior arrived, it knew Yan Chuan well enough to no longer have to run desperately.

"Eight-headed human face!"

"Mythical Armament!"

Yan Chuan approached, finally seeing that what was chasing the Iron-Armed Monkey King was not a mere monster; its eight-headed human face was actually a mythical armament known as ’Water Uncle Tian Wu’. Generally weak on land, but its strongest advantage was wading through water, being stronger underwater, classified as special Shen Wu.

If they’d met this mythical armament before proving the Dao, Yan Chuan would have had to resort to Shen Wu likewise to counter it.

But now—

"I am Innate!"

"Just a Fourth-Rank Divine Weapon, nothing worth noticing!"

Yan Chuan stepped with "Wave Riding Micro Steps," flashing forward, facing ’Water Uncle Tian Wu’, he fiercely opened his mouth to roar—

Wuuu wuuu wuuu~

Again, "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar!"

Eight Realms Ultimate Skill, truly handy.

Those driving the mythical armaments were usually only Postnatal Realm, and Yan Chuan’s roar didn’t even require breaking through the mythical armament’s absolute protection, even if there was shielding and weakening, just letting a fraction or even half of the sound and power through, leaving it behind.

Then—

...
