Chapter 247: How powerful will their master be?

Dead monkey, you still know to come? If you don't come, I'll be done for!

The golden eagle lying on the ground was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, its gaze falling on the stick, obviously also realizing this is an extraordinary divine weapon Sharp Instrument, 'Where did you get this thing?'

Bestowed by the Master.

Great Sage Monkey King looked at the golden eagle covered in blood all over, smiling and said: 'How did you end up in such a sorry state?'

Although he spoke with a smile, everyone present heard the killing intent in his words and couldn't help but all shiver.

Hearing the Monkey King's words, the golden eagle flashed a hint of envy in its eyes, 'Given by the Master?'

That makes sense; besides the Master, who else could forge such a supreme divine weapon Sharp Instrument? Just one look and you feel the aura overwhelming.

The golden eagle stretched out its wing and pointed at the not-far Tsar soldiers, 'It's not because of this bunch of bastards!'

For some reason, the Tsar soldiers pointed at by it had a bad premonition.

The Monkey King nodded, 'Understood.'

It drew a circle around the golden eagle with the stick, golden light flashing, spiritual energy rampant, forming a strong protective shield, 'Stay here obediently.'

The golden eagle's eyes showed some worry, looking at the Monkey King's retreating back, it warned: 'Monkey King, be careful, these people's firepower is quite fierce!'

The Monkey King didn't stop, just waved the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Hooped Staff in his hand, 'Understood, just watch.'

With each step the Monkey King took, its size grew a bit more, its soft golden fur had at some point ignited, golden flames blazing dazzlingly, erupting with the speed of thunder before one could cover their ears.

Blood and qi surged throughout its body, Spiritual Power condensed, a tremendous pressure descended between heaven and earth.

At this moment, the Great Sage Monkey King is the center of heaven and earth!

Everyone stared at the Monkey King, a huge shock hit them, rendering them almost speechless, the shock was simply too much.

Two animals actually started talking here, one of them even emitting golden light, holding a stick in its hand!

Whether it's this stick or this living being, both give an extremely dangerous feeling.

Gun smoke filled the air, blood qi heavy, yet this land fell silent.

Daxia soldiers couldn't help but blurt out, 'Monkey Brother, Great Sage Grandpa?'

It's no wonder they thought that; the appearance of this being before them resembled Sun Wukong too closely, plus the staff in its hand.

All that's missing now are the Phoenix Tail Purple Gold Crown, Linked Golden Armor, and Lotus Thread Step Cloud Shoes, then the equipment would be complete.

After a moment, the Tsar soldiers finally came to from the shock, looking at the Great Sage Monkey King approaching head-on, their surprise quickly turned into overwhelming killing intent.

'No matter what you are, opposing our Tsar means only a dead end!'

The officer leading the Tsar State roared angrily, 'Open fire with full force! Blast flat the road ahead for me!'

The moment his words hit the ground, tanks, armored vehicles, etc., aimed their cannons at the Great Sage Monkey King.

Boom—

These steel monsters let out a roar, huge fireballs tearing through the air, carrying vast heat waves and flames, roaring as they charged toward the Great Sage Monkey King.

The golden eagle had already suffered a loss earlier; upon seeing this scene, it hurriedly shouted a warning, 'Monkey King, be careful!'

Only a huge bang was heard, the flames instantly boiled over like molten lava beginning to flow, exploding instantly on the spot.

The Great Sage Monkey King waved the staff, carrying the momentum of splitting heaven and earth, mysterious inscriptions appeared on the golden hoop rod, radiating large patches of purple-gold light, covering the original molten lava.

All the flames completely vanished, while it remained completely unharmed!

Seeing this scene, everyone widened their eyes, it was simply too strong!

Actually, the Great Sage Monkey King, while cultivating on Mount Hua, lectured the living beings and simultaneously strengthened himself; moreover, with the aid of the golden hoop rod, such a divine weapon, he thus possessed such tremendous power.

Actually, the golden eagle is not inferior either; it merely expended too much Spiritual Power earlier to suppress this place.

The Great Sage Monkey King took a step, and like a golden streak of light, a afterimage flashed in the air; its speed was truly too fast, so much that the Tsar soldiers had no time to react.

The next second, it arrived before a main battle tank, sweeping horizontally with the staff, carrying the force to crush rotten wood, striking toward the tank.

Bang!

The Great Sage Monkey King is only about two meters tall, while the main battle tank seems like a steel fortress, yet facing the Monkey King, it is extremely fragile, with no defense at all.

It was actually lifted up and flung away by a single strike of the staff!

The golden wave spread several meters outward, carrying an oppressive pressure.

Looking at the scene before them, everyone opened their mouths wide, their eyeballs almost popping out, their expressions filled with disbelief.

!!!

You have to know this is an armored tank!

Those who didn't know would think it was made of paper mache, so fragile that even a single blow couldn't be resisted.

Seeing the Monkey King destroy a tank in the blink of an eye, the Tsar soldiers quickly came to, their eyes blood-red, flashing with furious light.

'Kill it!'

All the Tsar soldiers raised their guns, frantically sweeping fire at the Great Sage Monkey King, fire snakes shooting straight to the sky, bringing flames with an overwhelming momentum.

However, how could they possibly be a match for the Great Sage Monkey King, let alone with the Wish-Fulfilling Golden Hooped Staff, such a divine weapon in hand, their combat power simply multiplied.

Roar!

The Monkey King let out a long howl, vast golden radiance shooting up from the ground, endless blood and qi gathering together, height surging, a several meters tall golden holy ape stood between heaven and earth!

The Wish-Fulfilling Golden Hooped Staff, carrying the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, directly ground dozens of Tsar soldiers into meat paste.

'Holy shit! Monkey Brother is mighty!'

The scene before them left all Daxia State soldiers stunned, feeling they couldn't take it in with just two eyes.

Under the azure heavens, the golden holy ape's light flickered, wielding a divine weapon sweeping all directions, even causing heaven and earth to tremble!

Such a world-shocking scene would likely make many Daxia soldiers unable to forget, becoming an eternal image in their minds.

Or rather, Tang Shengfeng was the first to react, roaring, 'What are you standing there for? Come on, kill the Russians together with Monkey Brother!'

After his shout, others also reacted, blood boiling, eyes once again blazing with fierce fighting spirit, they picked up their weapons and charged forward.

'Kill!'

With the help of the Great Sage Monkey King, the morale of the Daxia soldiers surged, everyone roared aloud, directly reversing the previous losing situation.

The Shahuang soldiers kept falling one after another, and the weapons in their hands all exploded.

The Monkey King's combat power is extremely high; especially with the As-you-wish Gold-banded Staff, he is virtually invincible, sweeping in all directions!

"Hold on!"

The Shahuang official shouted angrily, but facing the Great Sage Monkey King, none of their defenses had any effect.

All artillery weapons crumbled and shattered before the As-you-wish Gold-banded Staff.

"Anyone who harms my brothers shall be executed on the spot!"

Golden light spread in all directions; the Monkey King wielded the gold-banded staff with ease, no one could stop him, and killing was as easy as chopping vegetables.

The Shahuang soldiers also realized the terror of the Monkey King's combat power, shouting, "Everyone join forces and first eliminate this living being!"

To reverse the battle situation with one's own power—such strength is terrifying; if such a living being existed, they could never win!

Countless barrages came down, as if to destroy everything completely; the Shahuang repeated their old tactic, trying to use the method they used against the golden eagle to deal with the Great Sage Monkey King.

However, their idea was doomed to fail; after the dust settled, the Great Sage Monkey King remained unharmed, his whole body shining with golden light, forming a huge protective shield that isolated all attacks.

The Shahuang soldiers' faces turned grim to the extreme; they still didn't know this was only the beginning.

The Monkey King walked toward them, each step carrying immense pressure, his low voice filled with endless killing intent.

"Kill!"

As the words fell, the ground rumbled like an earthquake, the whole land began to tremble, and dust flew up.

The Shahuang soldiers clearly saw the scene in the distance, their pupils suddenly constricted.

"Oh God, what is that."

"My heavens."

Even the Daxia soldiers who were still fighting stopped, turned their heads, and a huge surprise swept over them again.

The black river surged and rolled, covering heaven and earth—it was indeed a boundless beast tide.

How could there be so many beasts!

These were precisely the Mount Hua beast tide that the Monkey King had brought all the way from Mount Hua, having absorbed many animals along the way, making the beast tide's scale unprecedented.

Whether in the sky or on the ground, everything was covered by the ferocious beast tide.

These beasts gathered together like a black river; that domineering, primal aura made one shudder.

The Monkey King pointed at the Tsar's soldiers and shouted, "Kill them!"

The Tsar's soldiers that he pointed to couldn't help but all retreat together.

"Roar!"

"Howl!"

Terrifying beast roars filled heaven and earth; the ferocious beast tide bellowed, splitting into several forces that charged into the Tsar's camp.

These beasts came with overwhelming force, instantly trampling countless soldiers under their hooves.

"Open fire! What the hell are you standing there for, do you want to be eaten by these beasts?!"

The Tsar's officer shouted angrily, his expression mixed with indescribable fear.

What's going on with these beast tides?

Where exactly did they come from!

The Tsar's soldiers fired at full capacity, various shells shooting out wildly as if they were free.

However, after the earlier strikes by the golden eagle and the Monkey King, the original thousand-strong unit had dwindled to a few hundred; facing such a massive beast tide, plus the complex terrain, they were no match for it.

For these beasts, this place was their territory and home ground.

Not to mention that their heavy firepower had been largely wrecked by the Monkey King.

Dozens of wild boars roared as they charged out, their tusks extremely sharp, viciously piercing the Tsar's soldiers' chests.

Brown bears crashed forward, their bodies like small hills glimmering with a dark sheen, swatting the Tsar's soldiers away with a single paw.

The birds in the sky were also effective; though not large, their great numbers meant a flock of crows swooped down from the sky, completely covering one soldier.

Accompanied by screams and gunfire, the soldier struggled, finally losing all signs of life; after the crows dispersed, the ground bore a corpse torn apart beyond recognition.

Although many beasts in the tide fell after being hit, their numbers were so vast that even as the front fell, the rear rushed forward to fill the gap.

The black river stretched boundlessly, seemingly endless; these beasts attacked only the Tsar's soldiers, sparing not a glance for Huaxia.

Beast tide? How could they come here?

Although Tang Shifeng and others were stationed at the frontier, they had previously heard of the nationwide sensation caused by the beast tide incident.

If I'm not mistaken, such a huge number must be the beast tide coming from Mount Hua.

Could it be that Changbai Mountain lies on the beast tide's migration route?

Or perhaps this is their target!

If it's merely a coincidence, that's fine; but if it's the latter, then it's somewhat terrifying.

The Huaxia soldiers were completely dumbfounded, but now is not the time to think about these things.

Watching the Tsar's soldiers in disarray under the beast tide's attack, Tang Shifeng almost wanted to laugh to the heavens; with so many animals, it seemed even heaven was helping them.

"Brothers, kill! We absolutely cannot let any Tsar soldier escape back!"

"Whoever offends Huaxia, no matter how far, shall be punished!"

Many Huaxia soldiers, hearing this, roared angrily and followed the beast tide in charging forward, as if they wanted to vent all their previous anger.

Initially, they were suppressed and beaten by the Tsar's soldiers, losing many brothers and almost thinking they would perish here, but now things are different.

The ferocious beast tide, combined with the well-trained Huaxia soldiers, directly formed an overwhelming crush.

The battle situation instantly reversed!

The golden eagle had rested enough nearby; unable to resist the itch, it also joined the battle.

All the tsar's soldiers were slaughtered to the last; only a few remained, fleeing miserably.

Looking at these few, the Golden Eagle did not continue the pursuit, but coldly said: "Go tell your leaders, my name is Golden Eagle; those who chant my true name shall gain eternal life!"

Rolling sound waves spread out; several soldiers fled in misery.

……

In the icy snowy landscape, the scene was now filled with bright red; blood blossomed into scarlet flowers, flourishing across heaven and earth.

Aside from the two that the Golden Eagle deliberately let go to deliver a message, the entire force of two whole battalions sent over was wiped out.

Now everything has finally ended; the beast tides also gradually calmed, gazing intently at the two great demons in the center of the battlefield.

The Golden Eagle wore an expression of unfinished desire, saying: "It's over like this? I haven't had my fill yet."

The Great Sage Monkey King heard this and couldn't help but roll his eyes; if it hadn't arrived in time, the Golden Eagle probably wouldn't have been able to wrap things up.

"Alright, stop showing off, let's go check the situation inside the valley."

The two great demons walked toward the valley; Tang Shifeng, seeing this, also wanted to follow and see the situation, but a black bear the size of a small mountain blocked their way.

He couldn't help but stare for a moment, saying: "What are you doing in front of me? I also want to go see what's up with this valley."

The bear blocking the road had no intention of leaving at all.

The Golden Eagle, however, turned his head, gave him a sideways glance, and spoke in an overbearing tone that allowed no refusal.

"The anomalies in the Everwhite Mountain Range will disappear soon; after this, this place will be my territory. If anyone trespasses, they bear the consequences."

"Now take your people and go back."

Even though the Golden Eagle bore no killing intent, that pressure was not to be underestimated; moreover, the beasts surrounding the mountains on all sides stared tiger‑like from the sidelines, and Tang Shifeng broke out in a fine sweat on his forehead.

He couldn't help but swallow, then spoke cautiously: "Can we discuss this some more? This place was sent for us to explore by our superiors, and wasn't this taken by us together?"

Under the gaze of the Golden Eagle and the Monkey King, two great demons, Tang Shifeng's voice grew softer and softer until it became inaudible.

The Golden Eagle gave a half‑smile and said: "You sure?"

Tang Shifeng shook his head like a rattle‑drum, his face showing the urge to cry but no tears; he had thought the Golden Eagle and Monkey King came to help them, but after fighting half‑day in vain, he ended up becoming a lackey.

He dared not utter any complaint; if not for the Golden Eagle, it would probably have been them who were wiped out this time.

Changing his perspective, at least the Golden Eagle and Monkey King's nationality could be considered part of Great Xia; roughly speaking, even if there were treasures in the valley, falling into their hands would still be better than falling into the tsar's.

Tang Shifeng consoled himself in this way, leading the remaining Great Xia soldiers back home, preparing to report to his superiors.

The vice battalion commander couldn't help but ask: "Are we just leaving like this?"

Tang Shifeng was somewhat speechless: "What, do you still want to force your way in?"

The vice battalion commander, thinking of the Golden Eagle's and Monkey King's methods and the corpses of tsar soldiers littering the ground, couldn't help but shudder, and dared say no more.

There was still something that gave Tang Shifeng a headache: how he should explain to his superiors what happened in the Everwhite Mountains.

At this moment, the Golden Eagle and the Monkey King also arrived deep in the valley; the fluctuations gradually subsided, and even the strange light shrouding the valley's surroundings dissipated considerably.

However, the air still retained a faint pressure.

The Golden Eagle found it strange: "It's become much calmer here; even the magnetic field in the air isn't agitated as it once was."

The Monkey King sensed a bit, pondered, then said: "Your earlier suppression, plus the outbreak of the anomaly, consumed much of this thing's power, so it has now fallen into calm."

Occasionally, a few special surges would rush toward the Golden Eagle and the Monkey King, but a wave of the As‑you‑will Gold‑hooped Rod dispersed them, posing no threat at all.

The valley's depths were very peaceful; it seemed as if the turmoil outside had not affected it at all, and there was no difference between this place and an ordinary locale.

The Golden Eagle's sharp gaze swept over, and he soon discovered: "Monkey King, look over there!"

The Monkey King also hurried over; on the snow not far away, a small bulge protruded slightly, as if something were buried beneath.

The Golden Eagle flapped its wings, stirring up a massive airflow that blew away all the accumulated snow; what came into view was a black shell, oddly shaped, unknown what material it was made of, uniformly dark and gleaming with a cold luster.

The Golden Eagle and the Monkey King examined the object before them, somewhat incredulous: "Is this the treasure?"

The two monsters' eyes held a hint of disappointment, for the thing looked unimpressive.

The Monkey King was the most meticulous; he soon noticed patterns and unknown symbols on it, and they looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

"Golden Eagle, quickly look at these marks—don't they resemble the golden meteorite that previously fell in the Shaman Mountain Range?"

The Golden Eagle leaned in for a look and found it was indeed so: "Could this thing share the same origin as the golden meteorite?"

The Monkey King's eyes flickered with a complex expression: "In that case, it really was as our master had guessed."

The Golden Eagle listened, feeling utterly confused, not knowing what this meant; earlier on the battlefield, the Monkey King hadn't been able to explain much, but now it recounted in detail its own journey through the Longyuan Mountain Range and Ye Qin's exploration of the world beyond.

The Golden Eagle's pupils contracted sharply; after a while it digested the huge news: "There's actually something like this!"

I never imagined that beyond the world there existed a cultivation civilization, immensely powerful, even planning to build a signal tower near Earth and even to relocate the entire planet.

The Great Sage Monkey King nodded: "Yeah, so on my way here I wondered if this might be the cause of the Everwhite Mountain anomaly; I didn't expect it to actually be so."

"Now that the Everwhite Mountains are stable, I'll take this back to my master; you here should hurry to expand your forces. My master said the great era is coming, we must quickly accumulate strength and absolutely not lag behind."

The Golden Eagle's usual carefree demeanor now gained a touch of seriousness and gravity: "Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing the Monkey King bring along that massive beast tide and his obedient followers, the Golden Eagle couldn't help but show an envious look: "We all came out of the mountains together; I never expected you to have so many followers now."

Although it claims to be the demon king of the Everwhite Mountains, it doesn't have many noteworthy underlings.

Indeed, without comparison there is no harm.

The Golden Eagle's eyes shifted, and it unconsciously turned its thoughts to the Monkey King.

"By the way, I have a favor to ask; since you've come all this way, might as well give me a hand—I truly lack talent for preaching, so please stay here a few more days and properly expound the Dao to these beings of the Everwhite Mountains."

The Golden Eagle recounted how it had once tried to preach, but those beings listened half‑asleep, some even snoring loudly; hearing this, the Monkey King couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Laughing aside, it still intended to stay a few days, helping the Golden Eagle expand its forces more quickly and swiftly raise the spiritual intelligence of the beings here.

Strengthen the demon clan!

As the Golden Eagle's strength expands, it benefits him too, and moreover the master has ordered them to help each other when they're out.

"That's natural."

Hearing the Monkey King's reply, the Golden Eagle grinned from ear to ear: "Good brother."

The Monkey King gave a lecture, not only with the living beings of Mount Hua, but even with the living beings of Changbai Mountain; the scale of the lecture can be said to be unprecedented, leaving people in awe.

Looking out, everything was a mass of animals, so dense that the original snow ground could hardly be seen, truly making people feel dread at the sight.

Although there were many of these living beings, they were nevertheless orderly, after all, there were two Great Demons stationed here.

The entire Changbai Mountain fell silent, with only a faint chanting drifting in the air, appearing profoundly mysterious amidst the wind and snow.

Although the anomalous event had ended, the incident at Changbai Mountain stirred up a huge uproar in the outside world.

The Supreme Council Chamber of the Northeast Region.

Outside the gate, Yang Jiaxiong paced back and forth, holding a report in his hand and a few black-gold-interlaced feathers, his expression somewhat hesitant.

This report was submitted by Tang Shifeng as a frontline report, describing in detail everything that had happened at Changbai Mountain.

Including encountering the Tsar's firepower attack upon entry, the Golden Eagle afterward, the Monkey King, the Beast Tide, and so on, even recording the dialogue between the two Great Demons.

These feathers were what he picked up on the battlefield.

After seeing this report, Yang Jiaxiong's expression became extremely complex; he even thought that Tang Shifeng had inhaled some miasma, or that the local magnetic field had affected him, causing hallucinations.

Because the story in it was truly too extraordinary, even though monsters were expected, it was actually able to so fiercely resist the Tsar's state's heavy firepower assault.

Due to magnetic field interference, the satellite signal was affected, so no footage was captured.

But it wasn't just Tang Shifeng saying this; all the returning Huaxia soldiers gave the same account, with no difference from what Tang Shifeng described, and Tang Shifeng even issued a military pledge, stating that the report contained no falsehood.

"Again monsters, again a beast tide; the Mount Hua beast tide actually ended up going to Changbai Mountain, which is truly unbelievable."

The news of the monsters was strictly sealed off; only a few top leaders knew, while the people below were uncertain.

Yang Jiaxiong hesitated for a moment, then finally knocked on the gate.

Inside the council chamber, it was simple, without excessive ornate decoration, appearing quite plain; an old man sat before the table, his hair white at the temples, yet his spirit was vigorous.

"Presenting this to the chief, this is the report from the Changbai Mountain side."

The old man's name was Song An, the highest official in charge of the Northeast Region.

Song An took the report from Yang Jiaxiong's hand, saying, "I heard the Tsar's side also sent people? Their army was almost completely wiped out, right?"

At this moment, he had not yet opened the report, and Yang Jiaxiong couldn't help but be surprised, saying, "Chief, how did you know?"

Song An smiled faintly, appearing kind, but the corners of his eyes and brows hid a sharpness not easily noticed, saying, "Just now the Tsar came to question me, and I shouted him down."

"I heard you sent a battalion's force to wipe them out? Winning against the odds with few against many is not bad; you did the right thing, no need to worry about the consequences— a bunch of lowly scum entering my Great Xia territory still have the nerve to question me."

Upon hearing Song An's words, Yang Jiaxiong looked embarrassed; according to what Tang Shifeng said, the Tsar had been defeated, and his own men had only contributed a little, the main credit being due to the monsters and the beast tide.

"You had better first take a look at this report."

Song An put on his reading glasses, saying, "The anomalous phenomenon at Changbai Mountain has erupted, and the capital is also urging me to investigate clearly, to let me see what exactly is going on."

At first his expression showed no change, but upon seeing the later part, his brows furrowed.

"Monsters? Golden Eagle? Great Sage Monkey King?"

"What are these?"

Looking at these reports, even though Song An had earlier guessed that Changbai Mountain would not be normal, he still froze for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure about the authenticity of this report?"

Yang Jiaxiong felt somewhat helpless, saying, "Although the magnetic field disruption caused the satellite cloud map to be obscured by strange light, making photography impossible, all the returning soldiers gave the same account."

"Moreover, according to common sense, our battalion's strength could never defeat the Tsar's soldiers, who came prepared and were equipped with heavy weapons."

"Furthermore, I also sent a small squad of soldiers to investigate, and we found many corpses of the Tsar's soldiers; their deaths were gruesome, not caused by firearms, and their bodies bore many marks of wild beast bites and claw scratches."

Upon hearing Yang Jiaxiong's words, Song An's expression also grew solemn, saying, "This matter must be reported to the capital as soon as possible."

He immediately dialed the phone to report the situation at Changbai Mountain; the other end remained silent for a long time, and if not for the heavy breathing heard on the line, Song An would have thought there was no one at all.

Only after a long while did a voice sound.

"You mean those monsters repelled the Tsar's state's soldiers?!"

That end was obviously incredulous, even raising its volume.

"Yes, according to the on-site situation and the following report, the fact is exactly so."

"Send over this report!"

After the news of Changbai Mountain reached the capital, it immediately caused an uproar; all the high-ranking officials who knew of the monster news were instantly shaken.

If there are no surprises, this should also be the work of the monsters of Longyuan Mountain, as they had previously assessed the monsters' strength.

Although they were originally superhumans, they were still insufficient to resist large thermal weapons.

However, the matter of Changbai Mountain, together with the total annihilation of the Tsar's soldiers, gave them a lesson.

The monsters' strength is actually this great!

How could this be insufficient to resist heavy thermal weapons?

It is clearly a one-sided suppression!

It utterly exceeded their expectations!

For now, we can only speculate whether they can withstand missiles and other weapons of mass destruction.

Moreover, no matter what, it is enough to make the capital astonished and speculate, just how strong could the 'master' spoken of by the monsters be?!

And the unknown is often what makes people feel most anxious.

"We must hurry to arrange a formal meeting with the monsters..." (End of chapter)
