Chapter 632: 541 Mu Ting_1

Two years later, in a vast expanse of green bamboo forest.

A deafening roar emanated from deep within the bamboo forest, shaking the earth and mountains. A large number of green bamboo stalks were uprooted by a powerful blast of air before they even hit the ground, disintegrating into dust.

In the depths of the bamboo forest, Shen Long held a golden-glowing long staff that continuously shimmered; its shaft was stained with some fresh blood.

Not far from him, a yellow Giant Ape with three eyes stood weak and listless, a late-stage Three-Eyed Power Monkey.

The eyes of the Three-Eyed Power Monkey were filled with terror, and fresh blood dripped from its body.

It opened its mouth to release a thick beam of yellow light, shooting straight at Shen Long.

Shen Long opened his mouth to eject a yellow sound wave, meeting it head-on.

The yellow sound wave collided with the yellow light; the latter instantly dispersed, and as the sound wave passed over the body of the Three-Eyed Power Monkey, it showed an expression of agony.

A piercing sound of cutting through the air rang out as a golden long staff descended from the sky, smashing toward the Three-Eyed Power Monkey.

The third eye of the Three-Eyed Power Monkey burst with blinding yellow light, releasing a yellow glow that enveloped the golden long staff.

The golden long staff seemed to be fixed in place, suspended in mid-air, unable to fall.

The ground behind the Three-Eyed Power Monkey tore open, revealing a vast fissure from which a hundred-zhang tall Yellow Giant Ape emerged from beneath the earth and hurled a punch at the back of the Three-Eyed Power Monkey.

The Three-Eyed Power Monkey was about to dodge when a strong gravitational force emerged, pinning it to the ground.

The knuckles of the Yellow Giant Ape smashed into the back of the Three-Eyed Power Monkey, causing an immediate indentation.

After a series of muffled "thuds," the Three-Eyed Power Monkey collapsed to the ground, its internal organs shattered.

The Yellow Giant Ape transformed back into human form, taking on the appearance of Shen Long.

Shen Long took out a small mirror that flickered with golden light, the Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure Demon-Identifying Mirror, mainly used for identifying the purity of the bloodline of Monster Beasts.

He channeled Mana into the Demon-Identifying Mirror, and its surface lit up with a golden light, casting a golden gleam over the corpse of the Three-Eyed Power Monkey.

A shrill whistling sound came from the Demon-Identifying Mirror, and a character for "four" appeared on its surface.

Shen Long furrowed his brows. In the past two years, he had slain twelve fifth-stage Demon Apes, and the highest Purity of Bloodline was only four, while some fifth-stage Demon Apes’ Purity of Bloodline was merely three.

It seemed likely that the Strong Golden-Backed Ape seen by the bold True Monarch was most probably a Cultivator transformed.

Shen Long conjured a Green Jade Vase, collected the Spirit Soul of the Three-Eyed Power Monkey, and deposited its corpse into a Storage Bracelet. Its third eye could be refined into a supportive Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

This area was already deep within the Thousand Spider Mountain Range, which was frequented by sixth-stage Monster Beasts. Shen Long decided not to venture any further.

A deafening explosion echoed as a huge burst of green light soared into the sky, remarkably conspicuous.

Shen Long’s Divine Sense flared widely; he sensed several strong presences about four hundred li away, all in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada. The eyes of the Hundred Eyes Cicada gleamed with piercing golden light as it probed into the distance.

"It’s the disciples from Mount Taibai Sword Sect. She is seriously injured and being chased by a flock of Red Fire Crows, in the southwest direction," said the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

"Mount Taibai Sword Sect!"

A contemplative expression crossed Shen Long’s face.

The Mount Taibai Sword Sect was one of the ten great powers of the Human Clan on the Green Lotus Continent, teeming with experts. The Thousand Spider Market was established by the Mount Taibai Sword Sect, so it was not surprising to find their disciples in this area.

"Since I’ve encountered this, it’s good to build a bond of kindness."

Shen Long said, retracting the Hundred Eyes Cicada into the Spirit Beast Bracelet. He summoned the Crossing Desert Ship and stepped aboard.

With a gesture of his spell, the Crossing Desert Ship immediately radiated bright yellow light and flew swiftly in the southwest direction.

Five gigantic red crows were chasing a silver-dressed girl with a face as delicate as a painting, her complexion pale and a visible blood wound on her left shoulder.

Caws echoed as a red soundwave swept forth.

The silver-dressed girl formed a swordplay gesture, and a silver, glinting flying sword shot out. The flying sword flickered lightly, unleashing a vast expanse of dazzling silver sword energy that shattered the red soundwave.

Thousands of giant fireballs descended from the sky, hurtling towards the silver-dressed girl.

The silver-dressed girl conjured a shield, sparkling with silver light, blocking the massive fireballs.

A streak of red light flared in the void before her as one of the red crows appeared out of thin air, blocking her path.

The red crow opened its beak and spewed a thick, red flame straight at the silver-dressed girl.

The silver-dressed girl’s expression changed drastically, and she transformed her right hand into a sword, slashing at the void. A tremendous silver sword energy surged out, crushing the red flames and shooting directly towards the red crow.

The red crow flapped its wings and dodged the silver sword energy. Just as it was about to launch another attack on the silver-dressed girl, a void fluctuation stirred overhead, and a gigantic yellow beast claw emerged, slamming towards the red crow.

Before the red crow could evade, a sharp, piercing shriek rang out, and it trembled.

The yellow beast claw struck the red crow, stripping away many of its feathers, and its large body plummeted from the sky.

With a thunderous boom, the red crow hit the ground, creating a huge crater, its body covered in fresh blood. It was not yet dead, struggling to take flight.

A thick tail stinger burst from the earth, striking the red crow’s head; it quickly lay lifeless.

Four Red Fire Crows flew over a high peak, their bodies suddenly being pulled down by an intense gravity towards the ground.

A golden light flashed, and a giant seal materialized out of nowhere—it was the Dragon Suppressing Seal—smashing down towards them.

The Four Red Fire Crows were about to increase their escape speed to dodge, when a sharp, piercing shriek sounded again, leaving them dazed and slow to react.

The Dragon Suppressing Seal struck them, flattening a high peak and causing the earth to tremble.

As the Dragon Suppressing Seal rose up, the high peak was leveled, a large crater was formed on the ground, and the four Red Fire Crows turned into a pile of flesh.

A green jade vase flew over, harvesting the spirit souls of the four Red Fire Crows.

The Crossing Desert Ship approached from afar, pausing with a flash.

"It’s you!"

The silver-dressed girl recognized Shen Long, who had purchased a fifth-order Demon Core from her and inquired about the fifth-order Strong Golden-Backed Ape.

"What a coincidence, Fairy," Shen Long said with a slight smile, collecting the bodies of the four Red Fire Crows while the other was consumed by the Iron Tail Scorpion.

"I am Mu Ting of the Mount Taibai Sword Sect, and I’m grateful for your aid, friend. These two fifth-order scorpion inner cores are a small token of my gratitude. Please accept them," the silver-dressed girl said, introducing herself while tossing a green jade box to Shen Long.

She wore a look of caution, fearing Shen Long might harm her.

Shen Long caught the green jade box and said, "My surname is Shen. Fairy Mu, have you encountered a fifth-order Strong Golden-Backed Ape?"

"No, and don’t believe what True Monarch Da Dan says; it might not be true," replied Mu Ting.

"This place is quite dangerous. It would be best for Fairy Mu to leave soon," Shen Long said. After speaking, he put away the Iron Tail Scorpion in the Spirit Beast Bracelet. He formed a spell gesture, and the Crossing Desert Ship immediately lit up with a blinding yellow light, flying back the way it came, and soon disappeared into the horizon.

Mu Ting breathed a sigh of relief and left as well.
