Chapter 158

The Crimson Fury Gold Monkey slowly stood upright.

Its body surface began to churn thick demonic energy, making its fur even harder.

Its two claws also began to burn with flames.

First innate talent: Crimson Flame Slash

Second innate talent: Gold Demon Body

Activate both!

"You'll see."

Meng Zhangqing said calmly.

"Good!"

As the words fell!

The Crimson Fury Gold Monkey vanished from its spot instantly.

And Meng Zhangqing did the same!

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, the two launched the most furious collision.

Sparks flew everywhere.

That was the clash of sword and beast claw!

Their speed was so fast they nearly became afterimages.

Without sufficient strength, one could not even follow their movements.

"Crimson Flame Slash!!"

The Crimson Fury Gold Monkey roared.

Ten streaks of blazing claw energy slashed through the air.

Raising sonic booms!

"Linglong Cold Moon? Sky Snow Mirror Platform!"

Meng Zhangqing gripped the hilt and plunged it straight into the ground beneath him.

Boom boom boom!

Several ice mirrors rose from the earth.

They blocked the claw streaks.

"Linglong Cold Moon? Ice Seal for a Thousand Li!"

Meng Zhangqing muttered.

He unleashed all his true qi without reservation; it instantly surged outward along the blade, spreading wildly.

In an instant.

It covered a grassland hundreds of meters in radius.

All turned into a land of frost!

Cold vapor rose straight up, ice mist spreading everywhere.

The disciples instantly retreated frantically, barely avoiding being caught in the blast.

"What sword art is this?"

Not only disciples from other lines were puzzled, even disciples from Lingxiao Peak were deeply confused.

Because the Scripture Hall had no High-grade Mystic Rank ice sword art.

Moreover, the power of this sword art seemed among the finest even within its rank.

Terrifying power!

Probably a sword art from outside the Zong Sect.

The Zong Sect imposes few restrictions on disciples' cultivated techniques, as long as they don't practice demonic or evil arts.

You can learn any style you want.

As long as you can obtain it, as long as you can master it.

Crack crack crack!

As the Crimson Fury Gold Monkey halted, countless ice crystals rapidly spread from its feet, surging wildly up its thighs.

Special cold energy, like sword qi, tried to pierce its defenses and invade its body.

The Crimson Fury Gold Monkey could sense that if it succeeded, great trouble would follow.

"So... powerful... sword art..."

The Crimson Fury Gold Monkey knew well that ordinary High-grade Mystic Rank techniques could never possess such overwhelming power.

This human indeed had formidable hidden cards.

Boom!

Its internal demonic energy surged, shattering all ice crystals on its body and repelling surrounding cold air several meters away, preventing any approach.

"No wonder it's a bloodline beast."

Meng Zhangqing silently marveled inside.

So far, the 'enemies' he'd faced rarely lasted this long.

Almost always resolved within two or three strikes.

But he hadn't used his full strength yet.

It was rare to find such a durable opponent.

Fighting longer would help him accumulate battle experience — not bad at all.

Moreover, he had stored many ideas regarding combat.

They could be verified one by one in this seemingly evenly matched battle.

"As my cultivation base improves, future opponents will become increasingly monstrous. I must strengthen my own foundation, constantly adding trump cards; only thus can I walk the path of the martial way eternally."

Through the Crimson Frenzy Jin Gang Ape, Meng Zhangqing seemed to see the future.

Boom!

The Crimson Frenzy Jin Gang Ape swung its fist again.

"Brother, have you noticed? Senior Brother Meng's combat style is becoming increasingly skilled."

Shi Yao blinked his eyes.

He felt as though he had discovered a highlight.

"Hmm, although Senior Brother Meng has a profound foundation, his combat techniques were slightly clumsy at the start; perhaps he has experienced few battles."

Shi Guang nodded. "But now, it is gradually tending toward perfection, possessing a feeling of consummate mastery."

"So, Senior Brother Meng is treating the demonic beast entirely as a whetstone."

Shi Yao realized.

"This demonic beast, placed within the secret realm, is itself used for sharpening blades. Defeating it is merely the ultimate goal; the process is what matters."

Shi Guang replied.

"Brother, you are acting somewhat strangely."

Shi Yao looked at Shi Guang and said quite seriously.

"What's wrong?"

Shi Guang did not understand.

"Don't you feel you are becoming smarter and smarter? Your speech has even started to sound like my lord's!"

Shi Yao said, "Have you stolen the little wisdom I have left again?"

"..."

Shi Guang shook his head and paid no attention to Meiyouli Society.

It seemed that recently he had indeed become much smarter.

It was not just the two brothers.

Quite a few people present also saw through the tricks.

For instance, the Mad Blade, Xiao Zhen.

"This person's combat techniques are constantly refining; the speed of improvement is too fast!"

The Mad Blade narrowed his gaze. "Compared to the beginning, he is almost two different people!"
