29: Enter the Flower and Fruit Forest! Battle the Monkey King!

Possessing the Earthly Fiend Divine Ability of Soul Seizing, Xu Qing often chose to skip the interrogation phase and directly browse the memories within the opponent's soul.

It was efficient, saved time, and ensured no mistakes would be made.

The two Monkey Demons' souls let out screams, and the memory images appeared before Xu Qing's eyes.

They were born in the depths of the Flower and Fruit Forest, swallowed spiritual peaches to undergo demonization, and after many years of cultivation, their Cultivation Level gradually deepened.

At the same time, they were also favored by the Monkey King.

When Xu Qing saw the memories related to the Monkey King, he immediately perked up.

Having seen the images in the memories, he reached his own judgment.

The Monkey King's strength was roughly just over two thousand years, with less than three thousand years of Cultivation Level.

It was about the same as Xu Qing's.

If it had been the day before yesterday, Xu Qing would not have set his sights on it.

But now that their Cultivation Levels were close, what was there to fear?

The images flickered constantly.

Soon, the key memory regarding the Black Stone appeared.

One day, the Monkey King called over the two Monkey Demons and gave them a task: to take the Black Stone to the Black Mist Region.

In the image, the Monkey King had a solemn expression and was muttering something.

What puzzled Xu Qing was that the Monkey King did not explicitly say what they were to do, only telling the Monkey Demons to enter the depths of the Black Mist.

In the subsequent memories, the memories regarding the Black Mist appeared to be incomplete.

There were only the images of the Monkey Demons before entering the Black Mist, and after coming out of the Black Mist!

"Incomplete? Is there something inside the Black Mist that erased their memories?"

Xu Qing murmured to himself.

He looked up towards the direction of the Flower and Fruit Forest; it seemed he still had to go there himself.

The monkeys of the Flower and Fruit Forest were definitely up to no good.

Sneaking through his territory and causing the Black Mist Region to erupt in chaos—there must be something fishy going on.

No matter what the situation was, Xu Qing could not ignore it.

Thinking of this.

Xu Qing couldn't be bothered to waste any more time; he immediately unleashed his Divine Movement Technique, and his nearly seventy-meter-long body turned into a green shadow, speeding towards the Flower and Fruit Forest.

Rumble!

The giant snake rampaged through the mountains and forests, crashing through jungles and smashing blue stones, arriving at the edge of the Flower and Fruit Forest before long.

Without a shred of hesitation.

He charged headlong into the Flower and Fruit Forest, his body like a long whip, carving a path through the dense forest.

"Squeak!"

The apes in the forest were alarmed, and upon seeing the giant snake appear, they screamed in terror.

Xu Qing ignored them and continued towards the depths of the Flower and Fruit Forest.

"Stinky long-worm, how dare you trespass in the Flower and Fruit Forest!"

Some Monkey Demons were alarmed and rushed out, wielding clubs and weapons.

As soon as they met, before they could even clearly see Xu Qing's appearance.

A dazzling crimson light flared up.

Flames burned, and the Monkey Demons turned into piles of ash without even a chance to scream.

Xu Qing had no scruples; whenever any dared to block him, he would spit out a mouthful of flames, with the roaring sounds echoing constantly in the forest.

The commotion was simply too great.

He had just advanced thirty miles when a sharp screech came from ahead.

"Bastard!"

"Snake King, how dare you destroy my mountains and forests and kill my children!"

On a distant mountain peak, a macaque over three feet tall suddenly appeared!

Following closely, one Monkey Demon after another appeared behind it.

Some were nearly ten zhang tall, some were short and less than three feet, some had sharp teeth and vicious expressions, while others had kind eyebrows and pleasant eyes, full of smiles...

They were all great demons of the Flower and Fruit Forest!

"Stinky long-worm, you are courting death!"

"Slaughter it, skin it, and eat its meat!"

"Leave the tendons for me; the Great King just happens to be missing a belt!"

As soon as the Monkey Demons appeared, they immediately became clamorous and chaotic.

Xu Qing had seen the Monkey Demons' memories and recognized that the three-foot macaque in front was the Monkey King.

A faint light shone in his vertical pupil.

The background of the many great demons behind the Monkey King appeared one by one before Xu Qing's eyes.

This look actually made Xu Qing somewhat surprised.

The strength of the Flower and Fruit Forest was very strong.

Besides the Monkey King, there were two Monkey Demons with over a thousand years of Cultivation Level.

One fat and one thin, they were the Monkey King's left and right Protectors.

As for those with eight or nine hundred years of Cultivation Level, there were more than a dozen.

There were even more with five or six hundred years of Cultivation Level!

This strength was far greater than Profound Yin Mountain and Taihang Mountains.

Xu Qing remained calm and was not afraid because of this.

Whether a force was powerful or not fundamentally depended on its top combat power.

"Ignorant fool."

Fierce light flickered in the Monkey King's eyes as it looked at Xu Qing, who spanned across the mountain forest, a strange look flashing in its eyes.

"A thousand years of Cultivation Level? Not bad!"

It licked its lips and laughed, "A Snake Demon with a thousand years of Cultivation Level must taste delicious!"

It did not ask for the reason.

Trespassing into its territory without permission was equivalent to declaring war.

This was the consensus among the Yao Race.

"Children, watch as I, your Great King, capture this long-worm; we shall eat snake meat in a while!"

The Monkey King shouted, and the Monkey Demons immediately boiled over with excitement, all scratching their ears and cheeks, unable to wait to taste the Snake King.

Having said that, the three-foot-tall Monkey King let out a sinister laugh and leaped out!

Roar!

It roared in the air, its figure suddenly expanding!

In the blink of an eye, the Monkey King transformed into a giant ape three zhang tall, its sharp claws extending like daggers, and sharp teeth densely arranged in its blood-red maw.

At the same time.

The ten-zhang-tall giant ape on the mountain peak threw the huge stone axe on its back.

The Monkey King caught the stone axe in mid-air, raised it high, and hacked straight towards Xu Qing's head!

"Whoosh!"

The axe blade tore through the air, creating white trails all around!

Xu Qing snorted coldly, and a layer of green light suddenly erupted from his body!

"Boom!"

The stone axe hacked fiercely onto Xu Qing, but it was blocked by the green light, emitting a thunderous sound that shook the mountain forest.

Layers of visible air waves swept out, scouring the mountain forest and clearing a blank area spanning hundreds of zhang!

The smile on the Monkey King's face froze, and a trace of horror flashed in its eyes.

Having lived for so long, it had never encountered anyone who could withstand this move of its head-on.

Even if the opponent had the same two thousand years of Cultivation Level, they would usually dodge or resist with other Spells.

Resisting with its body?

What on earth was this green light!?

The Monkey King's Cultivation Level was not bad, similar to Xu Qing's.

But in terms of Spells and Divine Abilities, it was lacking by more than just a little.

The Earthly Fiend techniques were true immortal Spells.

The Protective Divine Light was impervious to all methods; blocking a mere slash from an ordinary stone axe was naturally effortless.

Xu Qing took this opportunity, his body lunging out suddenly, his tail shrouded in green light turning into a steel whip, lashing fiercely towards the Monkey King.

"Bang!"

The Monkey King raised the stone axe to defend, only to feel a massive force coming from its hands, and the stone axe directly shattered!

Its body was sent flying back, and it struggled to stabilize itself.

This guy had some tricks.

Thoughts flashed through the Monkey King's mind, and it was preparing to use its trump card.

However.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap rang out above its head.

The fur on the Monkey King's scalp stood on end instantly; horrified, it scrambled to the ground in a panic.

In the next instant, lightning flashed!

This guy could actually use Lightning Spells!

The Monkey King looked up in horror.

"Boom!"

Another thunderclap rang out.

Not only that.

Xu Qing opened his mouth and spat out a sheet of flames, enveloping the mountain forest for hundreds of zhang!

"Wind, come!"

A wild wind howled, fueling the fire!

Thunder rolled overhead, and a sea of fire lay before it.

The Monkey King had no time to think before it was engulfed in the light of the thunder and fire.
