Eleven figures! They arrived just like they had before in the Great Change Sect assembly hall, wearing black robes and masks. What a majestic and mysterious organization!
Their voices caused everyone’s eardrums to tremble. It was as if the sound was coming from the universe itself.
Everyone was silent, staring at the eleven unbelievable figures descending from the sky. The eleven figures landed majestically. All of them were powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage!
The Exploding Heavens Faction… is really here!
Moreover, Sun Wu Kong is… the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!
How could a monkey at the Original Infant Stage become the Faction Leader of so many powerhouses?
My Gosh! How can this be possible?
This really shocked Su Ling’er and her people. Sun Wu Kong had told them that he was a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, but he had never said anything about being the Faction Leader.
Since the Mysterious Clan hadn’t heard anything about Sun Wu Kong since he left them, many members of the Mysterious Clan had begun to suspect that Sun Wu Kong had cheated them. However, now that they knew he was the Faction leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction, everything began to make sense.
This explains everything!
No wonder we haven’t heard of any news about Sun Wu Kong. The Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction has always been mysterious and unknown.
Now we finally understand. Since no one knew who the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction was, it makes sense that we received no news about Sun Wu Kong.
The Demonic Beasts were terrified. Before, they thought Sun Wu Kong meant nothing. They didn’t know that Sun Wu Kong was actually a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, much less the Faction Leader!
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! How…could a monkey of the Mysterious Clan, who is only at the Original Infant Stage, be your leader?
Lin Yi of the Demonic Beast Clan asked in disbelief.
Lin Yi’s face fell. As a powerhouse at level four of the Infant Transformation Stage, he was very powerful. However, in front of so many powerhouses at level three of the Infant Transformation Stage, he became nervous.
Whoosh!
The eleven figures fixed their cold eyes on him through their masks. A sharp voice then broke the silence.
Who told you I am only at the Original Infant Stage?
The next moment, a burst of music came in.
Dun dun dun…dun dun…dun dun dun…
The Small Swords Society Overture began to play[1]. Everyone held their breath and looked up into the sky. A figure was flying on clouds. The impassioned theme music added to the magnificence of his entrance.
Sun Wu Kong then came into full view. However, this Sun Wu Kong was actually just Xu Que in disguise. Xu Que was using the Disguise Puppet to change his appearance.
He was wearing golden chain mail, violet phoenix wings, a gold helmet, and lotus root cloud boots[2]. The Monkey King Bar in his hands was dazzling. Although it was not the legendary Monkey King Bar, it was enough to shock everyone. The clouds slowed to a stop and began to disperse from underneath his feet.
Boom!
Sun Wu Kong landed on the ground, cracking it with his heavy landing. His presence was so domineering that no one dared to look him in the eye.
How…could this be possible?
Level three of the Infant Transformation Stage!
Everyone was shocked.
Over one year ago, this monkey was just at level six of the Original Infant Stage. Now he had reached level three of the Infant Transformation Stage. This progress was hard for people to believe.
How could such an outrageous thing happen?
This must be a fake monkey, right?
Sun Wu Kong!
Su Ling’er exclaimed delightfully. She let out a breath of relief. She was filled with endless joy and pleasant surprise.
The Mysterious Clan was on the verge of extinction. Su Ling’er and her people had almost lost their faith and were ready to face their death. But at last, Sun Wu Kong had arrived, and in such a domineering and majestic way.
I’m late!
Xu Que said solemnly, looking at the countless bodies of Mysterious Clan members on the battlefield,
Are you Sun Wu Kong?
Lin Yi asked suddenly.
Lin Yi’s question had very bad timing and was asked with a very bad attitude. Xu Que was already angry because of how many of the Mysterious Clan members were dead. Lin Yi’s comment just added fuel to his rage.
Fck you! Stop wasting my time! Taste my Monkey King Bar!
Xu Que cursed.
Xu Que jumped up and swung his bar directly at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi’s expression fell. He then started to use magic arts to defend himself. He had never met such a straightforward person, someone who just attacked at first sight. This was outrageous!
However, he was not frightened. He was never afraid when he was engaged in close combat scenarios. In fact, the reason he had addressed Sun Wu Kong in the first place was to prevent the members of the Exploding Heavens Faction from attacking him all at once. After all, he was definitely outnumbered and knew he couldn’t fight them all at the same time.
You are seeking death!
Lin Yi snorted.
Lin Yi clenched his fists. A black shadow appeared behind him. It looked just like a giant ox head.
Seeing this, Su Ling’er shouted at Xu Que.
Be careful, Sun Wu Kong! He is an ox demon. The ox demon bloodline is very powerful. Please, be careful!
Bang!
Xu Que’s Monkey King Bar collided with Lin Yi’s fist. Both of them were blown away by the airwaves that resulted from the collision.
The Monkey King Bar in Xu Que’s hands was completely destroyed. This shocked him a bit.
This ox demon really is powerful! No wonder he was able to destroy the God Powered Cannon. His physique is remarkably strong.
Mysterious Clan was frightened on behalf of Xu Que whereas the Demonic Beasts were smiling. They were proud of the strength of their leader.
However, Lin Yi was even more shocked than Xu Que. He couldn’t believe this monkey could be so powerful as to break even with him in such a direct collision.
Lin Yi had just recently reached level four of the Infant Transformation Stage. However, he had increased strength because of this bloodline. On top of this, he had learned an ancient physique strengthening art. Therefore, he was strong enough to win against cultivators at level six of the Infant Transformation Stage in the Demonic Beast Clan.
But now, he was losing against a little monkey who was only at level three of the Infant Transformation Stage. How could this be happening!?
Your magic artifact is gone. How do you expect to fight me now?
Lin Yi said with a cold smile. He was trying to intimidate Xu Que.
However, Xu Que just smiled disdainfully.
Without my magic artifact, your defeat will be even more miserable!
Seeing that Xu Que was going to fight with only his fists, the people of the Mysterious Clan were very anxious. The Demonic Beasts were gloating sarcastically.
Ignoring the other Demonic Beasts, Xu Que clenched his fist and performed the Hell King’s Prison Suppression Style. Lightning bolts and flames started to flow on the surface of his body. This indicated that his cultivation of these two elements had been completed. He dashed directly towards Lin Yi.
Bang!
Another direct collision, this time fist against fist! The power from this collision was even more formidable than the last one. It seemed like the very air itself was about to crack under the pressure of the collision.
Rumble!
Lin Yi was blown away. His knuckles were broken and bleeding.
Xu Que, on the other hand, was unscratched. He was smiling coldly.
The consequence of this collision shocked everyone.
I told you your defeat would be more miserable without the magic artifact!
Xu Que said majestically.
Everyone fell silent. Everyone in the Mysterious Clan held their mouths agape. The Demonic Beast Clan was also totally dumbfounded. Their King, who had the strongest physique of them all, was severely injured by a monkey’s fist!
When the Mysterious Clan came to their senses, they started to shout with excitement.
Shaman Demon King!
Shaman Demon King!
Shaman Demon King!
…
Xu Que’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
Sht! Don’t call me Dirty Demon King[3], OK? How could I be dirty by hitting someone with my fist? Lin Yi! You are the Dirty Demon King!
In his anger, Xu Que tried to punch Lin Yi in the chest, but Lin Yi blocked the attack this his good hand.
Puff!
Lin Yi was shocked. This guy was still attacking him!?
Even though Lin Yi blocked Xu Que’s punch, the blow was still enough to injure him. He spat a mouthful of fresh blood.
Before Lin Yi had time to react, Xu Que punched him a second time. And a third time. And a fourth! He just kept punching!
Shaman Demon King! Shaman Demon King!
Seeing Xu Que punch the living daylights out of Lin Yi, the people of the Mysterious Clan became even more excited. Their cheers were never-ending.
As Xu Que became angrier and angrier, his punches became faster and faster. He then gave Lin Yi a one-two punch that launched him into the sky like a sandbag before he came crashing back down to the ground.
Bang!
Bang!
…Bang!
Lin Yi could barely defend himself, let alone fight back. He could clearly sense that Xu Que was becoming angrier. Why else would his punches be increasing in speed like this? Lin Yi was in tearless grief. He spit up more blood.
Why are you so mad at me? Why is your punching becoming more and more ferocious?
Look!
a member of the Mysterious Clan said in surprise.
It seems our Shaman Demon King’s attack is becoming more and more ferocious!
You’re right! How is this even possible?
He must be encouraged by our cheers!
Exactly! Everyone, just keep shouting! Shaman Demon King, Shaman Demon King, Shaman Demon King…
