Duel with the Monkey King

The wind whipped up sand and gravel, pounding against the battlefield, while the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Nalan Yan's hair flew wildly, and her dark-colored outfit was billowed by the air currents.

She stood atop a giant rock, her left fingertips wreathed in jet-black flames.

Thousands of Demon Monkey formed an impenetrable wall, baring their teeth and brandishing bone blades that gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

"Break!"

Nalan Yan gave a soft shout, her left hand drawing an arcane trajectory in the air.

In an instant, a black fireball with a diameter of about ten feet condensed in the void, its surface flowing with strange dark patterns, as if countless wronged souls were howling within it.

The fireball exploded with a deafening roar, and thousands of black fire lotuses shot out like arrows from a bow towards the Demon Monkey.

The Demon Monkey screamed in terror and tried to parry with their bone blades.

However, the Hell Black Flame seemed to possess a spirit; upon touching Martial Weapon, they instantly clung to him, scorching the metal until it glowed red and deformed in the blink of an eye.

The first Demon Monkey was struck by the fire lotus, Black Flame instantly engulfed its body. With a shrill scream, it stumbled and fell to its companion.

The Demon Monkey that was touched immediately burst into black flames, like torches being lit.

The monkey troop was thrown into complete chaos, and their well-organized battle formation collapsed instantly.

The fiery, demonic Demon Monkey pushed and bit each other, rolling and twisting on the ground.

The Black Flame greedily devoured the machine, cracking the scorched earth wherever they went, and filling the air with the stench of burning flesh.

Sun Potian's face turned ashen upon seeing this scene. He swung his Wolf Tooth Club with a rustling sound, but he could not stop the spread of this black inferno.

Nalan Yan gracefully swept into the battlefield, each step she took causing a pillar of black fire to rise from the ground.

Her eyes were as cold as ice, and the Hell Black Flame, under her control, transformed into chains, dragging the fleeing Demon Monkey back into the sea of fire one by one.

Before long, the battlefield had turned into a charred wasteland, with only a few scattered flames leaping on the corpses, telling the story of the fierce battle.

"This is excruciating!"

Sun Potian's eyes were bloodshot as he beat his chest in frustration. One-tenth of his men, whom he had just brought, had died, even though they were in formation and launching an attack.

How can I avoid causing him heartache?

These were his soldiers, the very force upon which he had relied to dominate and occupy the entire Peach Blossom Island.

If he has no soldiers under his command, the forces on other islands around him will definitely not let go of the opportunity to attack him, or even drive him out of Peach Blossom Island.

"You bastard, you dared to kill my child! I, the King, will kill you!"

Call--

A sudden gust of wind arose, dark clouds rapidly gathered, and the sky was torn apart by two completely different forces.

Sun Potian was surrounded by scarlet Demon Qi, and a hundred-foot-tall phantom of Ancient Demonic Ape appeared behind him. The surface of his black Wolf Tooth Club was covered with strange dark purple runes.

Hua Qiang, dressed in a black outfit that fluttered in the wind, held Thunderclap Blade in his hand, which was surrounded by lightning. The blade vaguely revealed the Kun Peng Phantom about to take flight, and an aura of destruction emanated from him.

"Die!"

Sun Potian roared, his entire body transforming into a streak of blood-red light that soared into the sky. The Wolf Tooth Club in his hand instantly grew to a hundred meters in length, crashing down on Hua Qiang with overwhelming force.

The air, under this terrifying pressure, emitted a cracking sound as it could not bear the strain. Wherever it passed, the space shattered and collapsed piece by piece.

Hua Qiang's eyes narrowed, and he swung his Thunderclap Blade sharply, unleashing a thousand-foot-long bolt of lightning that condensed into a gigantic Kun Peng Phantom.

The Kunpeng flapped its wings, emitting a deafening roar, unleashing its ultimate killing move:

[Kunpeng Sky-Splitting Strike]!

The Kun Peng Phantom, carrying boundless thunderous power, opened its sharp claws and met the falling Wolf Tooth Club head-on.

In an instant, the sharp claws and the wolf-toothed slug collided with a thunderous crash.

A terrifying energy surge emanated from the point of impact, spreading outwards like ripples, shattering space wherever it reached.

The earth trembled violently, and the flowers, trees, and rock walls within a radius of several miles broke and collapsed under the impact of this force, turning into dust.

The dark purple runes on Sun Potian's wolf-tooth guillotine shone brightly, unleashing an even more terrifying power in an attempt to crush the Kun Peng Phantom.

Hua Qiang remained calm, his hands gripping the Thunderclap Saber tightly, continuously channeling his own power into it.

With a flap of its wings, the Kun Peng Phantom unleashed countless bolts of lightning that rained down on Sun Potian.

Sun Potian shook his wolf-tooth guillotine, and dozens of phantom images suddenly appeared, welcoming the thunder.

The two forces surged with each collision, and dark clouds filled the sky, accompanied by lightning and Thunderclap, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Sun Potian roared, and the phantom of the Ancient Demonic Ape threw a punch, engaging in close combat with the Kun Peng Phantom.

In an instant, the claws and the ape's arm clashed, lightning and Demon Qi erupted, and the entire world was shrouded in this terrifying battle.

The Monkey Soldiers and Monkey Generals below all stopped fighting and stared First Elder -eyed at the two sides battling in the air.

The fighting between the two was so loud that they had to retreat to avoid being affected by the aftershocks.

Nalan Yan also kept retreating to find a safe foothold, while keeping a close eye on the battle situation in the sky.

"Again!"

"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who!"

The two clashed again.

Lightning crackled across the sky, and Hua Qiang and Sun Potian's figures intersected like shooting stars in the clouds.

Hua Qiang was surrounded by a dark golden Gravity Domain, and with each step he took, the void was pressed open with spiderweb-like cracks.

Sun Potian transformed into a thousand-foot- Primordial Demonic Ape, his body shrouded in scarlet Demonic Energy. His giant claws slashed across the ground, tearing the space apart with numerous gaps.

"Die!"

Sun Potian roared, gathering power in his palms, enveloped in gray light, and slammed them down on Hua Qiang with World-destroying force.

A cold glint flashed in Hua Qiang's eyes, Law of Gravity surged wildly on his fist as he unleashed a powerful punch to meet the attack.

The moment the two forces collided, the mountains within a radius of a hundred miles collapsed with a deafening roar, and the earth was pressed into a bottomless crater.

Sun Potian staggered backward, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

But he was not to be outdone, and instantly summoned thirty-six Demon Subduing Pestle, each one radiating Chaos Aura, shooting towards Hua Qiang like a sky full of shooting stars.

Hua Qiang snorted coldly, formed hand seals, and nine golden mountains appeared around him. The Law of Gravity operated wildly, forcefully crushing the Demon Subduing Pestle pestles into dust.

The battle intensified, and the entire world trembled.

Sun Potian exerted all his strength and unleashed the ultimate secret technique of the Primordial Demonic Ape — the Myriad Demons Devouring Heaven Art.

Behind him, a gigantic black maw appeared, blotting out the sky and radiating a terrifying devouring power that swallowed up the surrounding space, light, and even the laws of nature.

Hua Qiang remained calm, raising his hands high, and the Gravity Domain around his body surged wildly.

"The Law of Gravity, Myriad Jun Earthfall!"

With a roar, the nine golden mountains transformed into countless meteorites, raining down on the massive black maw.

In the end, Sun Potian's Myriad Demons Devouring Heaven Art shattered under this terrifying gravity attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hua Qiang lunged forward and his fist, imbued with terrifying Law of Gravity, slammed directly into Sun Potian's chest.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, Sun Potian sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground with shattered bones, unable to get up again.

Hua Qiang slowly lowered his raised fist, then walked step by step to Sun Potian and said calmly, "Want to die? Want to live?"
