Monkey Demon, Beat the Hell Out of Him

"Enough!! Who is it?! Get out here!"

Sikong Luohe let out an enraged roar. At the same time, endless darkness erupted from his body, forming a shield around him. Then he flipped over and landed steadily on the ground.

At this moment, Sikong Luohe's face was as dark as though it had been splashed with ink. His scarlet eyes radiated endless killing intent. Anyone could tell that he was completely on the verge of exploding.

Although the previous attack had not injured Sikong Luohe in the slightest, the feeling of being tossed around like a rag had thoroughly ignited his fury.

He desperately wanted to find the person who had humiliated him. That was right—in his eyes, this was pure humiliation. And it had to be someone of at least his own rank playing tricks on him, or else how could he have sensed nothing unusual at all?

"Did you take drugs to reach the eighth rank? I'm standing here so obviously—who else could it be but me?!"

At that moment, a smug voice drifted out from the dust filling the sky. Sikong Luohe's pupils contracted sharply as he whirled around to look toward Lin Yu.

"How is this possible?!"

Sikong Luohe roared in disbelief at Lin Yu, who emerged completely unscathed. The killing intent in his eyes had long since turned into deep shock.

"Why wouldn't it be? So, how did it feel getting beaten up?"

Lin Yu wore a wicked grin. He might not have been able to hurt Sikong Luohe, but there was no problem making him sick of it.

The invisible attack from before had been Lin Yu's Rinnegan ability, Limbo: Border Jail.

The invisible, intangible shadows could not be detected by any ability other than the Rinnegan and the power of the Six Paths. Here, it was practically a cheat.

"It really was you?"

Sikong Luohe's eyes widened in disbelief. He had actually been beaten senseless by a third-rank Guardian Envoy. He had thought some high-ranking Guardian Envoy was messing with him.

But the humiliation in his heart was even greater than before. A dignified eighth-rank Guardian Envoy like him was a major figure wherever he went, yet he had stumbled here. At the thought of it, the humiliation in his heart instantly turned into endless rage.

"Good. Very good!! It seems I truly underestimated you. Even Ji Xuejun never caused me this much trouble. Good, very good!"

Sikong Luohe repeated "good" several times, expressing the extreme fury in his heart. He laughed madly in rage, no longer able to maintain the gloom on his face.

"Hahaha... brat, have you figured out how you want to die?"

"Mm! Well, I don't know about that, but one thing I'm sure of is that I won't die today."

"Do you think I'm joking with you?!! Final Chapter of the Mortal World!"

With Sikong Luohe's furious roar, endless power of darkness surged from his body, forming a hundred-meter-wide black energy sphere above his head. The energy sphere radiated a soul-chilling aura.

Lin Yu stared in shock at the enormous black sphere in the sky. Was this the true strength of an eighth-rank Guardian Envoy?

He could not let Sikong Luohe bring it down. The black sphere covered far too wide an area. If it fell, Kamui would keep him safe, but Ji Xuejun, already exhausted not far away, would surely die.

Lin Yu did not waste another word. He slapped both hands onto the ground, and a massive black rune array appeared.

Summoning Jutsu

A cloud of white smoke appeared in front of Lin Yu.

"Monkey Demon, beat the hell out of him."

"By your command, Master."

A powerful voice rang out from within the white smoke. Immediately after, a gigantic monkey with flowing long hair shot out of the smoke like lightning and charged toward Sikong Luohe.

Seeing the monkey rapidly rushing at him, Sikong Luohe's pupils shrank. His hand, which had been about to strike downward, paused, but Monkey Demon instantly appeared before him.

So fast!

The thought flashed through Sikong Luohe's mind as he instinctively strengthened his shield.

But to Monkey Demon, who possessed an indestructible body, the black shield before him was no different from paper. Monkey Demon clenched both fists and smashed downward. The shield instantly shattered. Monkey Demon pressed straight in, appearing before Sikong Luohe in an instant, then struck him in the stomach with a spinning flying kick.

Sikong Luohe felt an overwhelming force slam into his abdomen.

"Puah!!"

Blood gushed from Sikong Luohe's mouth as though it cost nothing.

Then Sikong Luohe's body flew backward like a rag that had been flung away, blood tracing a graceful arc through the air.

Sikong Luohe flew dozens of meters through the air. After hitting the ground, he rolled wildly backward before crashing hard into a protruding stone pillar. The impact sent shattered stones flying everywhere. Sikong Luohe spat out another mouthful of blood and then lay still.

The scene fell utterly silent!

Ji Xuejun stared dumbfoundedly at Sikong Luohe's flying body, her mouth hanging open. She had even forgotten to restore her spiritual energy. Was this some kind of fucking joke? Sikong Luohe, whom even she could do nothing against, had been kicked dozens of meters away just like that? Defeated by a third-rank Guardian Envoy???

"Cough, cough, cough..."

A bout of coughing came from Sikong Luohe, sprawled in the distance. Then he staggered to his feet, staring fixedly at the monkey striking a pose. The ultimate move he had gathered earlier had also been interrupted by Monkey Demon's kick.

"How is this possible? A King-class magical beast? Why would a King-class magical beast appear here?"

At this point, Sikong Luohe could no longer spare any attention for Lin Yu. The monkey before him radiated a genuine King-class aura. It was a King-class magical beast that even at his peak would require his full concentration to fight. No matter how hard he thought, he could not understand why such a powerful magical beast had appeared in this low-level secret realm.

"Could that third-rank brat be behind this? But how is that possible? This is a King-class magical beast. How could it possibly be commanded by such a lowly human? Impossible!!"

Sikong Luohe muttered in disbelief, but Lin Yu's next words completely shattered his worldview.

"Monkey Demon, kill this thing for me. He's just an eighth-rank Guardian Envoy—who does he think he is, acting so high and mighty in front of me?"

"By your command!"

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Monkey Demon's expression turned fierce. His pale hair fluttered in the wind as he vanished from the spot in a flash.

"Not good!"

Watching Monkey Demon suddenly disappear, Sikong Luohe rapidly circulated the spiritual energy throughout his body. An incomparably solid shield enveloped him. This was Sikong Luohe's strongest defensive technique, Dark Barrier.

Monkey Demon Dance

A voice rang beside Sikong Luohe's ear, followed by countless blows.

"Bang. Bang..."

Sikong Luohe's body was struck into the air by Monkey Demon's rapid attacks, rising higher and higher. Then, after Monkey Demon landed with a kip-up, he transformed into the Ruyi Staff. The Ruyi Staff rapidly grew longer and larger before smashing fiercely into Sikong Luohe in midair.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The invincible Dark Barrier developed countless cracks under the Ruyi Staff's bombardment, as if glass were shattering. Sikong Luohe stared in horror at his barrier, his expression changing drastically.

"Not good! I can't block it!"
