Chapter 70

Second update! Just a hundred more favorites and we'll break a thousand. I'm calling out again, begging for favorites!

...

The mountain wind howled, but it could not disperse the surging demonic aura!

How could this be?

So much time has passed, why is the Black Ape King still coming after us?

Heaven! And the Thunder Eagle King too...

On the halfway point of Baoyue Mountain, Muku looked at the overwhelming demons from all directions, and at the Black Ape King and Thunder Eagle King standing proudly in the air. A chill ran up his spine, and an unprecedented fear enveloped him, making his body tremble like a sieve.

"Senior... Senior Chen, it's... it's not good!"

Muku screamed in terror and ran toward the cave entrance as if fleeing. At this moment, he could only place all his hopes on Chen Xi, even though such hope was so small.

The door of the cave was tightly closed, but Muku didn't care and pushed it open, shouting anxiously, "Senior Chen..." His voice suddenly stopped.

He then realized that the cave was empty, with no sign of Chen Xi.

Senior Chen... Could he have already escaped?

Muku was dispirited, sitting down on the ground with a face ashen. He muttered, "It makes sense. Surrounded by two demon kings and so many powerful demons, Senior Chen, being alone, could only have one way out: to escape."

"Didn't you think about escaping yourself?"

"Escaping myself? Yes, why didn't I think about it..." Muku's words were cut off as he suddenly woke up, looking at the figure that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. His voice trembled, "Senior, you didn't leave?"

"I'll handle it. If you sense anything amiss, leave early."

Chen Xi nodded. He had been practicing the Concealment Technique, making his presence invisible and his aura nonexistent, so Muku couldn't detect him.

"How can I do that? I said I would stay by Senior's side for life!" Muku took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, though his face was filled with fear, it also showed a determined and stubborn look.

Chen Xi was moved, not expecting Muku to say such words. He then said seriously, "If I tell you to escape, you must escape. Living is more important than anything."

As he spoke, Chen Xi took out a storage bag and handed it to Muku, "This contains a cultivation technique I've practiced. Take it."

"Senior..."

Muku looked at the storage bag in his hand, stunned, feeling an indescribable gratitude. When he looked up again, Chen Xi had already disappeared from the cave.

"Senior, rest assured. I will not only live well but also become stronger!" Muku muttered to himself, his face filled with determination.

"He's coming out!"

"That human cultivator is coming out!"

In the distance, a group of demons suddenly cried out in surprise, their gazes all focusing on the same spot. There, a young man was walking out.

The young man was slender and tall, with a clear and refined face. His every movement exuded a transcendent and unique aura.

"Are you Chen Xi?" The Black Ape King Yuan Tong shouted from the sky, his voice like thunder, making all the surrounding demons tremble.

"What do you think?" Chen Xi coldly retorted, inwardly startled. Why is the Thunder Eagle King here too?

The Black Ape King wore a green robe and had white hair, while the Thunder Eagle King wore a purple cloak and had cold eyes. Both stood in the air. As soon as Chen Xi stepped out of the cave, he noticed them and guessed their identities. However, the appearance of the Thunder Eagle King still made him feel a bit uneasy.

Two Purple Mansion Realm demon kings... It looks like things are getting complicated. Chen Xi was on high alert, his powerful divine soul force covering the surroundings, not daring to relax for a moment.

"Hmph, to speak so boldly on my territory, you truly don't know your place. Look at this first." Yuan Tong sneered, raising his right hand, which now held a head.

The head had a distorted and fierce expression, as if filled with endless anger. Blood still dripped from it, making it look extremely terrifying.

"Xiong Pi!"

Chen Xi's eyes narrowed. He didn't have a particularly good impression of Xiong Pi, but he greatly admired his courage and determination to avenge his brother.

At this moment, seeing the angry and unwilling expression on Xiong Pi's head, Chen Xi felt both guilt and anger. Because of the Metal Bamboo Sword, he had already promised Xiong Pi that he would one day kill the Black Ape King to avenge his brother. Who would have thought that Xiong Pi would now be brutally killed by the Black Ape King?

Damn!

A burning, lava-like killing intent rose in Chen Xi's heart, making his expression extremely cold.

Peng!

The Black Ape King's fingers clenched, and the head in his hand shattered into pieces, blood splattering in the air. "Ha ha ha, are you angry? Who made this guy so arrogant, daring to plot to kill me in secret? He's just as stupid as his brother!"

"The king is right, such a traitor deserves to die!"

"Xiong Pi deserves to die, or where would the king's authority be?"

"If it were me, I would have flayed him alive, not let him off so easily!"

The demons roared, their expressions filled with cruelty and bloodlust.

In the distance, the demons who were cultivating near Baoyue Mountain mostly had good relations with Xiong Pi, but at this moment, there was no trace of sympathy in their expressions. Instead, they all looked relieved, as if they were glad to have distanced themselves from Xiong Pi early on.

However, demons are like this. Even as beasts, they are accustomed to the law of the jungle. Now, even with intelligence, the cruelty and coldness in their bones cannot be erased.

"I once promised Xiong Pi that I would kill you to avenge his brother."

Chen Xi's voice was cold and calm, without any fluctuation, as if he were talking about something trivial. But to the other demons, it felt like a chill, sensing the endless killing intent in his words.

"Interesting, this human cultivator's killing aura is heavy, clearly honed through life-and-death battles." In the air, the Thunder Eagle King Xue Yu, who had been indifferent to everything around him, seemed to have found something interesting. His gaze toward Chen Xi showed a hint of surprise, but it quickly disappeared. After all, he was just a newly ascended Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, not worth his attention.

"Revenge? Did I hear that right?"

Yuan Tong laughed wildly, looking at Chen Xi as if he were already a dead man, and said coldly, "If I hadn't been delayed, do you think you could still be alive? Enough talk, hand over what Xiong Pi gave you, then kill yourself, and I'll leave you a whole body. Otherwise..."

"Kid, with your level of cultivation, you should quickly do as our king said!"

"A human cultivator dares to claim he can kill our king? Don't you fear losing your tongue?"

"Sigh, our king is too merciful. If it were me, even if he killed himself, I would still boil his body and eat it piece by piece, only then would I feel satisfied!"

The demons echoed, their gazes toward Chen Xi filled with mockery and disdain.

"Kill!"

A low, cold voice escaped Chen Xi's lips. In the next moment, he appeared in the air, like a tiger descending from the mountain, charging toward Yuan Tong with an unstoppable momentum.

"Since you're seeking death, I'll grant it to you!"

Yuan Tong sneered, and in his hands appeared a thick and heavy iron staff, enveloped in rolling bloodlight. He swung it fiercely at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi's body moved like a highly agile fish, easily dodging the iron staff. The Metal Bamboo Sword in his hand quickly slashed a scar on Yuan Tong's waist.

The Metal Bamboo Sword grows one inch every thousand years after being struck by lightning. The piece in Chen Xi's hand was three feet long, not only extremely sharp but also containing terrifying and fierce lightning power.

At this moment, the sword pierced through, not only tearing a deep wound in the Black Ape King's waist but also sending the lightning power into his body, making him stiff and almost fall from the air.

It's actually a Metal Bamboo Sword!

The Thunder Eagle King's eyes lit up, a greedy desire rising in his heart.

"Kid, do you think you can hurt me like that?"

Being stabbed by Chen Xi in front of so many subordinates made the Black Ape King extremely angry, but the wound on his waist instantly healed!

Divine Body Cultivation!

Chen Xi's heart tightened. After reaching the Purple Mansion Realm, the vitality of the body and blood is extremely strong, capable of regenerating severed limbs. To kill such an enemy, one must pierce through their head or heart!

"Die!"

Yuan Tong's demonic aura surged, his aura suddenly rising. His body turned into a black shadow, and he raised the nearly ten-thousand-pound iron staff, smashing it toward Chen Xi again!

Chen Xi held the Metal Bamboo Sword horizontally.

Clang!

A loud noise, and Chen Xi was sent flying backward. Fortunately, he was in the air, which helped him dissipate most of the force. Even so, his hands were still numb and tingling.

The power of a Purple Mansion Realm Divine Body is indeed formidable. If I only had the Divine Body technique, it would be difficult to defeat him. It seems this guy becoming one of the seven demon kings is well-deserved. Chen Xi realized he had met a true opponent.

The Black Ape King is undoubtedly the strongest enemy he has faced since his cultivation began!

"Want to match me in strength? Ha ha ha... I want to see how many blows you can take from me!"

The Black Ape King laughed loudly, his eyes filled with a killing and brutal look. He charged forward, his momentum overwhelming. The long staff in his hand swept through the air, making a whistling sound, and smashed toward Chen Xi with even more force than before.

Whoosh!

Chen Xi couldn't possibly match him in strength. His body flickered, and he used the Divine Wind Feather Escape technique, as if a pair of wings made of hurricane had grown on his back. His speed was faster than lightning, like the ever-changing wind, constantly changing the direction of his attacks. The Metal Bamboo Sword in his hand attacked Yuan Tong at an incredible speed.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

With the sword technique and movement technique containing the meaning of the Dao, the Black Ape King Yuan Tong was instantly covered in hundreds of bloody wounds, a terrifying sight.

How is this possible!

The king can't even block that human youth's sword techniques?

At the foot of Baoyue Mountain, and in the distance, all the demons opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Sword Intent! Body Intent! Not good, this youth's martial arts cultivation has reached the Dao Intent realm!" The Thunder Eagle King, who had been watching with folded arms, could no longer remain calm, his face suddenly changing.
