104. Chapter 104: Legacy Treasures (In Honor of Master Yexun)

“Aoooh!”

The golden four-armed monkey pounded its chest with all four arms, the sonic waves shaking the air into visible ripples.

It leaped forward, instantly crossing dozens of meters to stand before a black-furred beast leopard.

The leopard beast startled, every hair on its body standing on end, slashing out wave after wave of pitch-black light-blades from its claws.

Puff!

The black light-blades struck the golden monkey’s fur—only to vanish in a flash of golden light.

This leopard beast was merely a First-Rank Upper-tier creature; its attacks were useless against a Second-Rank beast.

The golden four-armed monkey stretched all four arms forward, seizing the leopard’s four legs, then hoisted it high and ripped it apart with a sudden yank!

Before the leopard beast could even scream, it was torn into five pieces, its organs and blood splattering across the ground.

The golden four-armed monkey paid no mind, crouching down to first devour the tender organs, then the meaty limbs…

“Aren’t monkeys herbivores? Well… this isn’t a monkey—it’s a beast!”

Nearby, Fang Xing stood in his silver robe, sword at his side, watching silently, lost in thought: “And monkeys do sometimes eat meat… but this level of brutality is rare.”

As he rubbed his chin, observing the beast feasting, the golden four-armed monkey suddenly stood up and hurled something.

Gulu gulu!

The leopard’s head, like a black ball, rolled along the ground a few times before stopping at Fang Xing’s feet.

“Intimidation? Hmm… a beast that’s just eaten has no appetite—unless it senses a threat…”

“But to it, I’m not a Second-Rank cultivator, so I’m not a threat?”

Fang Xing chuckled softly: “Underestimated, huh…”

The next instant, he slightly released his blood qi.

Boom!

Streams of blood qi surged skyward, making him appear like a molten furnace.

Roar! Roar!

The nascent form of the Dragon Domain unfolded, radiating intense dragon aura, faintly taking on the shape of a dragon.

I have to say, the Dragon Stake's appearance is truly impressive.

Fang Xing now moved with the grace of a dragon and the stride of a tiger, faint clouds of dragons trailing around him—he looked anything but ordinary.

“Aoooh!”

The golden four-armed monkey immediately stopped eating, its fur bristling as it stared warily at Fang Xing, this sudden predator.

Thud! Thud!

It frantically pounded its chest, fangs bared, one arm suddenly glowing.

Spiritual energy rippled, forming a massive earth-colored boulder, which it hurled straight at him.

Boom!

The ten-thousand-jin boulder, like a small hill, crashed to the ground, carving a deep crater.

Amidst the flying dust, Fang Xing leaped forward, appearing before the golden four-armed monkey: “Try my Dragon Subduing Palm!”

He let out a soft cry and struck out with one palm.

Roar! Roar!

Golden light shimmered within the palm, wrapping his arm in the illusory shape of a dragon’s head!

“Aoooh!”

The golden four-armed monkey brought down one massive fist—their palm and fist collided, and the golden dragon head shattered instantly.

Yet the golden radiance on Fang Xing’s arm didn’t retreat—it grew even stronger, revealing faint illusory patterns, as if clad in arm armor.

Roar! Roar!

Amidst the roar of dragon and elephant, he felt immense force surge through him, forcing him back several steps.

Across from him, the golden four-armed monkey also retreated a distance, shaking its head, seemingly baffled why a tiny creature had outmatched it in raw strength!

Its ferocity ignited—it roared, stepped forward, its towering frame nearly engulfing Fang Xing.

Then all four arms came crashing down.

In an instant!

Countless fist shadows and claw winds merged into an impenetrable golden curtain, instantly engulfing Fang Xing!

“Come on!”

Fang Xing laughed aloud, golden light flaring across his body as he pushed the Dragon-Elephant Art to its peak.

He felt the golden monkey before him transform into a martial arts master with four arms—each punch carrying boundless force, like hammers of immense weight.

In an instant, he was besieged by four martial masters wielding hammers, his waist and below crushed like a radish into the earth.

“Excellent… the art of heaven, perfected by chance! This beast’s techniques are truly formidable!”

Fang Xing knew well why he felt this way.

Many martial arts from Blue Star imitated animal movements—Xingyi Quan, Wu Qin Xi, and so on…

Monkeys closely resemble humans; Monkey Fist is famously renowned.

This monkey beast was different—it had refined its techniques through countless battles and growth.

Though each claw strike seemed crude and simple, it was direct and efficient, wasting not an ounce of energy.

He deliberately used the pressure from this golden four-armed monkey to hone his own martial skills.

Beneath the beast’s storm-like assault, Fang Xing felt his newly elevated Master-level Military Body Boxing Twelve Forms advancing rapidly!

“Military Killing Fist!”

Suddenly, he ceased purely defending—his terrifying martial will surged, radiating the bloody aura of a hundred battles, like a sharp arrow piercing the golden monkey’s third eye, freezing the Second-Rank beast in place.

The endless golden arms, like an eternal machine, halted—revealing a crack.

Fang Xing seized the opening, leaping up like a spring from the earth, then delivering a bow-step cannon punch straight onto the golden monkey’s skull. Boom!

The five-meter-tall giant-like beast was blasted backward, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

“Aoooh!”

The golden four-armed monkey howled, rubbed its head, and stood up.

“This kind of defense…”

Fang Xing winced at the sight.

Since reaching Master level in the Dragon-Elephant Art, his physical strength had reached terrifying heights.

Combined with Master-level bow-step cannon punch…

Even Xia Long or Lu Guangming wouldn’t dare take a direct hit to the skull from him, right?

Well… Lu Guangming was uncertain.

But Xia Long definitely wouldn’t.

He didn’t know this golden four-armed beast was called the “Four-Armed Golden Ape” by cultivators—fond of swallowing metal ores to temper its body, famed for its incredible physique and defense.

The Four-Armed Golden Ape shook its head, rose swiftly, golden light flowing over its body, its ferocity even more terrifying.

It roared and charged at Fang Xing!

A gust of wind swept his face, thick with the beast’s pungent odor.

“You seek death!”

Fang Xing sneered, golden light exploding around him, faint dragon forms emerging—he stepped forward half a pace, his major tendons humming like drawn bows, his eyes blazing like twin golden morning stars!

—Nascent Dragon Domain!

—Half-Step Shatter Fist!

—Dragon-Elephant Art!

—Great Golden Vajra Divine Power!

Fang Xing unleashed everything—especially the Great Golden Vajra Divine Power, which instantly multiplied his punch power and combat strength!

A small golden fist and a furry golden arm, each carrying unwavering resolve, collided violently in midair.

Boom!

The air exploded like a cannonball—shockwaves ripped through, snapping trees in half and flattening countless grasses.

Crack!

A sharp bone-snapping sound rang out—a golden giant flew backward faster than it had charged.

It was the Four-Armed Golden Ape!

It shrieked, one arm hanging limp—bones shattered, tendons torn.

The Four-Armed Golden Ape’s ferocity vanished; its gaze toward Fang Xing now held a trace of fear.

It simply couldn’t fathom how such a tiny creature contained such divine power!

It growled warily, then turned and fled!

For beasts, fleeing when outmatched was natural, unquestionable instinct.

Fang Xing watched the Four-Armed Golden Ape turn and run, paused in surprise, then laughed and cursed: “Coward!”

He moved his foot—his body became a breeze, darting into the dense forest after it.

At this moment, Fang Xing realized: his physique, defense, and attack were all exceptionally strong for his stage—his survivability was maxed out.

Perhaps… it was time to learn a movement technique?

Otherwise, pursuit and escape would always be lacking.

Of course, this isn't about facing such a second-rank beast, but rather when confronting a Foundation Establishment cultivator who can fly with their physical body—stepping techniques easily become a weakness.

“What I truly want to learn is Master Xia Long’s stepping technique… Unfortunately, that flying stepping art requires the External Landscape realm to activate… But now that I’ve formed a prototype of my domain, I wonder if it’s enough to even enter it…”

Fang Xing pondered as he reached out his hand.

A flash of green light—a sword beam like a green rainbow—landed in his palm.

“Squeak!”

He halted his movement, blocking the path of the Four-Armed Golden Ape, causing the beast to let out an eerie shriek and send countless birds flying into the sky.

“This time, I’m going all out.”

Fang Xing sighed softly, flicking the blade with his finger—the Qinghong Sword instantly erupted in brilliant light, letting out a dragon’s roar!

——Extreme Emotion Sword!

Even beasts, if they possess emotion, have vulnerabilities!

This ape beast is smarter than other beasts—and thus more susceptible to this trick!

▲TTKΛN▲￠o

“Too bad… animals’ emotions are ultimately not as rich as humans’… This technique is less effective against beasts than against people.”

Fang Xing felt a pang of reflection; two points of golden light flickered in his eyes—the Great Golden Vajra Prajna Power surged again!

Thud! Thud!

He surged forward, leaving a deep crater behind him, his form like a gentle breeze, the Qinghong Sword in his hand resembling a green jade dragon, its blade cold and brilliant, illuminating the entire forest!

Countless leaves fell, sliced cleanly in half midair by the green light.

The Four-Armed Golden Ape raised its remaining three arms, shielding its vital points like golden shields.

But the sword light was like a wisp of wind, twisting unexpectedly, piercing through impossible angles and striking its throat.

Pfft!

The Qinghong Sword, sharp enough to sever hair, cut through the Golden Ape’s Vajra body.

Fang Xing pushed harder, his figure racing past the towering ape’s form.

Behind him, a massive golden head tumbled to the ground, rolling a few times.

From its severed neck, a geyser of crimson blood erupted, blood gushing everywhere, the stench of blood filling the air.

Boom!

Finally, the towering golden figure crashed to the ground…
