Chapter 270: Chapter 267 Overbearing [Subscribe]_1

"A fine ’unstoppable force’, indeed. Today, I, the Dragon King, am standing right here. I want to see which one of you dares lay a finger on me!" Ao Sui declared domineeringly.

Monkey Changmei narrowed his eyes and said, "Little Dragon King of the South Sea, why must you do this... You control the Four Seas; what rare treasure do you not possess? Why must you trouble a Stone Monkey?"

"What if I just want this Stone Monkey? Are you all at Huaguo Mountain seriously considering rebellion for a mere Stone Monkey?" Ao Sui asked.

Monkey Changmei fell silent, wanting to protect the Stone Monkey, but to truly take action, the accusation of rebellion was too grave!

Although they considered themselves somewhat powerful, how could they possibly resist the supreme rulers of Heaven and Earth, the Heavenly Court?

"I don’t need anyone to protect me. If it’s a fight you want, then let’s fight. It’s but a single death!" Just then, the Stone Monkey who had been smashed into the rocks climbed out, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and roared ferociously.

"Say less. Bending your head now isn’t a loss," Batong whispered softly.

The Stone Monkey shook his head stubbornly and said, "Even when I was but a stone, I stood tall against heaven and earth, never bowing to the fiercest winds and storms! If heaven and earth could not contend with me, then what is this mere loach to me?!"

"Haha... a loach, you say...? You’ve all heard; he’s insulted an officer of the Heavenly Court. Is there a fault in me punishing him for his crime? Will you still protect him?" Ao Sui challenged loudly.

Monkey Changmei looked at the defiant Stone Monkey, then at the pressing Ao Sui, and ultimately let out a sigh...

Seeing this, Ao Sui sneered to himself: As expected of a bunch of mountain monkeys. No matter how strong they are, don’t they still have to bow to me?

With that thought, Ao Sui’s smile grew more arrogant, and his gaze upon the monkeys turned ever more contemptuous!

The troop of monkeys on the mountain seemed to feel Monkey Changmei’s helplessness and dejection. They clenched their fists in anger but dared not erupt, each suppressing their emotions, heads bowed...

At this moment, Huaguo Mountain, once bursting with life, suddenly lost its vigor and became tomb-like, deathly silent!

Birds stopped chirping, insects hushed, and even the leaves ceased to flutter...

It was a silence so profound one could hear a pin drop!

A silence so chilling it was eerie!

Ao Sui looked at the group of dispirited monkeys before him and grew increasingly smug; he reveled in this feeling! So what if you’re powerful? It’s all the better to crush you!

That’s what gives a sense of achievement!

Ao Sui drew out his words, "Monkey, have you made up your mind? Are you willing to protect this one monkey at the cost of all the monkeys’ lives, or will you abandon this one and continue to lead a carefree and joyful life?"

Batong looked at Monkey Changmei and said, "Big brother..."

Once again, Monkey Changmei let out a long sigh...

Batong frowned...

Seeing this, the Stone Monkey stepped forward and said, "Loach, if you’ve got the guts, come at me! Come down here, and we’ll go one on one!"

Ao Sui glanced at the Stone Monkey and said, "Who are you to challenge me one on one? Are you even worthy?"

"You..." The Stone Monkey was left speechless with rage.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "He’s worthy!"

"Who?" Ao Sui demanded.

Then Batong stepped forward and said, "No matter what others say or do, he’s a monkey from Huaguo Mountain! I’ve got his back, you little loach. If you want to fight, just come over and see if I don’t send you flying with a swing of my mountain handle!"

Ao Sui was taken aback... then he burst into laughter: "Just you alone? Do you know, this is the East Sea shore!"

While speaking, Ao Sui threw a Token into the sea from a hidden place, spread his arms wide, and declared, "In the sea, we, the Dragon Clan, are the kings! Where is the great Sea Clan army?!"

The next moment, the water began to boil, followed by the sound of conch horns!

The seawater rose into the sky, forming a massive seawater banner that unfurled, obstructing the sun, with a prominent ’Ao’ character on it that was striking to the eye!

Beneath the banner, countless Sea Clan armies rose from the water; the number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals was beyond count!

At a glance, there was no end in sight!

There were even formidable Sea Clan generals among them. As the Sea Clan army appeared, they immediately formed up into a Formation. The water Yuan Qi above their heads coalesced into a sea dragon, its fierce and ferocious face looking down upon Huaguo Mountain! This dragon was nearly as large as Huaguo Mountain itself!

At the same time, the combat power of all the Sea Clan also surged, with the water Yuan Qi transforming into armor adorning every Sea Clan member, significantly bolstering their defenses!

"Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!" The Sea Clan, syncing with the battle drums and conch horn sounds, chanted in unison; their momentum skyrocketed to the peak!

For a moment, an overpowering spiritual pressure bore down, focusing solely on Batong!

Although Batong was immensely powerful, the well-trained Sea Clan army was not to be outdone by the disorderly mountain demons; the sea of soldiers’ combined aura, amplified by the Formation, was tremendously oppressive! And within their ranks were many mighty Sea Clan generals who added to this pressure!

Batong felt as if the sky had collapsed upon her in an instant, her feet plunged into the soil with a thunderous force, her bones cracked and creaked as she slowly bent down...

"Roar!"

Batong roared with all his might, striving to stand up straight, yet the spiritual pressure was like mountains, like the Canghai Sea, like the sky collapsing!

Batong exerted all his strength but still couldn’t withstand the terrifying pressure!

Seeing this, the Stone Monkey stepped forward to help Batong against the pressure, but the two monkeys ended up crunching all over their bodies as if they were frying beans, their bodies getting lower and lower...

Both of them clenched their teeth, refusing to bow their heads no matter what!

Seeing this, Ao Sui smirked and said, "Nice perseverance, but our Canghai Dragon Mighty Array isn’t just about spiritual pressure, it’s about the pressure of force! Suppress!"

With a wave of Ao Sui’s hand, the sea dragon in the sky turned around, and a blue pillar of light descended from the sky, slamming down on Batong and the Stone Monkey with a bang!

The two great monkeys were instantly pressed into the soil, and even then, their bones felt like they might break at any moment!

Just then, Monkey Changmei suddenly raised his head and let out a long howl, "Enough!"

Boom!

Monkey Changmei’s white fur stood on end, and with one step, half of his fur turned black and half turned white, looking as if he were draped in a Yin-Yang Diagram! Simultaneously, a strange power spread out, slamming into the colossal beam of light with a bang!

Monkey Changmei was actually able to withstand the pressure of the Sea Clan’s army with his own strength!

Seeing this, Ao Sui was genuinely startled!

However, Ao Sui soon laughed, wildly proclaiming, "Haha... interesting, very interesting! I love fools like you who think they have integrity! Haha... You dirt-ridden monkeys deserve to die!"

While speaking, Ao Sui waved his hand, and the previously unstrained generals of the Sea Clan roared together as, one by one, they infused their Yuan Qi into the formation, making the pressure beam of light shine even brighter with a bang!

The long-haired monkey was also pressed into a curve!

At this moment, both Monkey Changshou and Monkey Cangsang stepped forward at the same time. Monkey Cangsang also turned into a yin-yang pattern, while Monkey Changshou’s eyes held the sun and the moon, his back transformed into mountains!

The two monkeys stomped their feet, and two surges of momentum shot up into the sky, shaking the pillar of light for a moment until it almost collapsed!

At the same time, all four great monkeys shouted in unison, "For the dignity of Huaguo Mountain we fight! Those who stand! Though the body perishes, the soul lives forever! Those who kneel! The body lives, but the soul is dead! Today, we defy Heaven in our actions!"

"Defying Heaven!" The previously demoralized monkeys of Huaguo Mountain echoed the same call at the same time, their voices thunderous!

At the same time, one monkey after another charged down from the mountain peak, gathering on the shores of the East Sea!

They didn’t understand formations, and some monkeys didn’t even know about cultivation, but still, they stood hand in hand, heart connected with heart, and in that instant, the stamina and vitality of all the monkeys fused together!

This powerful momentum instantly shattered the pressure beam of light from the Sea Clan’s army!

The sea dragons in the sky were so shaken that they tumbled around in a sorry state before roaring resentfully at the group of monkeys!

"Rebels, you’re all rebels! I’ll remember you, just you wait, when my elder brothers arrive, your time of death will come!" Ao Sui shouted exasperatedly!

Hearing this, Monkey Changmei raised an eyebrow and said, "Ao Sui, do you wish for death?"

His voice thundered, chilling to the core!

Ao Sui trembled all over, facing the killing intent in Monkey Changmei’s eyes, he didn’t dare to speak...

At that moment, the sea patrolling general stepped forward and said, "Changmei, do you really intent to rebel? Do you realize the consequences, how can your Huaguo Mountain bear it? All your years of cultivation could be ruined in an instant."

Changmei took a deep breath and said, "At this point, if I hand over the Stone Monkey, even if Huaguo Mountain continues to exist, it would be as good as dead! I would rather die gloriously than live a life no better than a walking corpse..."

The sea patrolling general said, "We have not reached that point of no return, there’s still room for easing the situation."

"Room?" Changmei glanced at the sea patrolling general.

The sea patrolling general nodded, then approached Ao Sui and said, "Little Dragon King, today these four monkeys are determined to face death. If we continue to press them, I’m afraid they will fight back immediately. Our Sea Clan’s army may be mighty, but it’s only a small advance team without our top generals. How can we withstand those four divine monkeys? In my opinion, why don’t we step back from the brink?"

Ao Sui was indeed frightened by Changmei, and what the sea patrolling general said also made sense. If a real battle began, his shrimp soldiers and crab generals might truly not be able to withstand the four great monkeys!

Then even if Huaguo Mountain were to be destroyed afterward, he would also be dead!

He thought that loss would not be worth the gain...

In his eyes, his life was worth far more than a mountain of monkeys.

So, Ao Sui asked, "How shall we step back?"

The sea patrolling general said, "Since this has arisen due to the Stone Monkey, why not leave it to the Stone Monkey to resolve?"

With that, the sea patrolling general looked towards the Stone Monkey.

The Stone Monkey looked around at his kin who had stood up for him, willing to face death, and his blood surged with heat!

He was the Intelligent Stone Monkey, naturally clear-minded, with an active and versatile mind, thinking of many things!

In a flash, he saw through all the cause and effect and took a step forward, pointing at Ao Sui and said, "The matter started because of me, no need to involve others! You want a fight? Let it be a one-on-one battle. Life or death is predestined, and wealth and honor are from Heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Sui pursed his lips and said, "Just you? I won’t bully you. If you can defeat these three subordinates of mine, we will let bygones be bygones over today’s matter. But if you lose, to die is to die, and you big monkeys had better not get upset!"
