Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Essence Blood in Hand_1
In the valley, the golden-haired monkey king and the two elderly men in grey and blue robes did not move.
At this moment, the golden-haired monkey king was rapidly losing strength. He was blind and did not want to struggle futilely. He preferred to weather the storm passively and respond as needed.
The elderly men in grey and blue robes, on the other hand, were biding their time, waiting for the golden-haired monkey king to be completely drained of strength.
Engaging at this time probably wouldn’t end well for them.
"Big monkey, I came to help you." Suddenly, a loud shout echoed from one direction.
Turning to look, the grey- and blue-robed men were slightly taken aback. What was this little guy doing here? Did he have the audacity to show himself?
Sensing another presence rapidly approaching, the golden-haired monkey king tensed up.
"Little fellow, are you looking for death?" Gathering his wits, the grey-robed elder sneered, "If you don’t choose to go to heaven, but force your way into hell, then you only have yourself to blame."
The blue-robed elder also laughed. "Kid, you barely escaped last time. This time, your luck is not going to save you."
"Ha ha, who said I was going to run?" Zhang Xian roared with laughter, charging at the grey-robed elder. "Even a wounded Grandmaster is no match for me."
"You’re begging for death." The grey-robed elder was furious.
A score was yet to be settled, and the little fellow dared to thwart his plans. To satisfy his desire for vengeance, he had to dismember this little fellow into pieces.
"Roar....." Seeing that a fight had broken out between their opponent and this newcomer, the Monkey King swooped into the fray.
Startled, the blue-robed elder turned and ran. Damn it, the Monkey King was going after him.
"Roar..." The golden-haired monkey king’s speed suddenly increased.
At this moment, it was as if it had unlocked its true potential. The disparity in speed was indiscernible, but it was rapidly closing the gap between it and the blue-robed elder. Despite being blind, it could accurately track the fleeing path of the blue-robed elder and followed him closely.
"Save me..." The blue-robed elder yelled loudly.
Faced with the pursuit of a Grandmaster-level beast, the mad golden-haired monkey king, he felt overwhelmed.
The grey-robed elder knew they were in trouble when he saw the state of the blue-robed elder. However, he was also embroiled with an opponent whose strength was not to be underestimated, and he couldn’t extricate himself from the fight for the time being.
"Bang..."
At a certain moment, the golden-haired monkey king lashed out a sweeping blow, striking the blue-robed elder right in his back.
"Puff..."
The blue-robed elder shot forward, crashing face-first into a massive rock. The rock shattered on impact.
"Roar....."
With a roar, the Monkey King pounced on the blue-robed elder, ending his life. Even though it was wounded, a Grandmaster-level beast had no difficulty in killing an Innate who was not yet at the Peak Innate Realm.
"Little fellow..." The grey-robed elder’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
Zhang Xian laughed merrily, "Hey old man, don’t you feel wonderful now? Is it as wonderful as when you were planning to rob me?"
"Roar....."
With the death of the blue-robed elder, the golden-haired monkey king roared and rushed at high speed towards their direction, much like a speeding train, emitting an overwhelming momentum.
"Little fellow, I will never let you go." Suddenly, the grey robed elder hastily retreated from the battlefield and fled in a certain direction.
Faced with a Peak Innate Realm warrior and a Grandmaster-level beast, he harbored no intentions of prolonging the fight. He was having a hard time dealing with the golden-haired monkey king and the suddenly-appeared little fellow gave him a hard time as well. It had to be said, the little fellow who had challenged him twice had given him quite a shock.
Of course, at this moment he didn’t think much. He needed to run fast, lest he wouldn’t be able to run when he needed to, later.
"Damn it, run...run..." The three warriors at the Post Acquired Peak saw that the blue-robed elder was dead, and the grey-robed elder was running faster than a rabbit. They dared not delay their departure.
However, the Monkey King did not let them get away. Just as with slicing tofu, he killed the three Post Acquired Peak masters.
Afterwards, he turned around, focusing his attention on Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian smiled, then withdrew his aggressive aura. He slowly walked towards the golden-haired monkey king.
"Roar..." The Monkey King did not attack but gave out a warning.
Zhang Xian didn’t stop, but calmly walked towards the golden-haired monkey king. He didn’t exude any intention to fight, nor reveal any hostility, only calmness and tranquility.
"Roar....." Suddenly, the golden-haired monkey king charged.
Zhang Xian’s face changed slightly as he swiftly dodged and retreated to one side, looking at the golden-haired monkey king with knitted brows.
"Roar..." The golden-haired monkey king charged again.
Zhang Xian dodged once more, maintaining a certain distance from the golden-haired monkey king.
Seeing that Zhang Xian did not retaliate, the golden-haired monkey king suddenly stopped attacking. He kept his guard up, only keeping his attention on Zhang Xian.
"Whether you can understand me or not, I still need to say this: I bear you no ill will and mean you no harm." Zhang Xian took one step at a time closer to the golden-haired monkey king, looking at him.
The golden-haired monkey king didn’t move. He didn’t detect any violent aura from Zhang Xian.
"What is that guy doing?"
Not far away, Jing Yi watched Zhang Xian step by step, slowly approach the golden-haired monkey king. He was filled with unease.
Luo Shuining was holding her breath, afraid that the golden-haired monkey king might suddenly attack.
Zhang Xian stopped in front of the golden-haired monkey king. Slowly, he reached out his hand and rested it on the monkey king’s arm. He infused his spiritual energy and sent it directly towards the monkey king’s eyes with incredible speed.
"Roar..." The Golden-Haired Monkey King was about to make a move.
Feeling comfortably cool and the pain in its eyes diminishing, it halted its movement once again.
Quickly, the pain from its eyes completely disappeared, and a somewhat blurry vision started to form in its mind. The image gradually became clearer, revealing everything in its surroundings.
Its eyes were magically healed.
"It’s all good now." Zhang Xian withdrew his hands and said with a smile.
The Golden-Haired Monkey King looked down at Zhang Xian, its eyes softer, lacking its usual domineering wildness.
"Huh? Why isn’t the Golden-Haired Monkey King attacking Zhang Xian?" Jing Yi asked, puzzled.
Luo Shuining chuckled and said, "Sister, look, the Golden-Haired Monkey King’s eyes seem to be healed. Zhang Xian must have cured its eyes, that’s why it did not attack him."
"That must be it." Jing Yi nodded and then said, "But, how did he manage to heal the monkey king? It’s like he didn’t do anything at all!"
Luo Shuining replied, "I have no idea, you’ll have to ask him about it."
...
In the valley, the little monkeys gathered together.
Zhang Xian stood opposite the Golden-Haired Monkey King, hesitated for a moment, then reached out again, placing his hand on the monkey king’s arm.
This time, he wasn’t healing its wounds, but extracting its essence blood. Whether it will be a success relies on this very moment. If the monkey king resists, he can only choose to run away.
"Roar..."
The Golden-Haired Monkey King sensed Zhang Xian’s intentions and its eyes immediately turned wild.
Zhang Xian extended his left hand and patted the Golden-Haired Monkey King but did not stop extracting its essence blood. He figured, it shouldn’t be that heartless. At the very least, it isn’t stupid.
After looking at Zhang Xian for a while, the Golden-Haired Monkey King suddenly stopped struggling.
With its essence blood being extracted, its strength would recede and it would take a long time to recover. After all, its essence blood contained much of its energy.
Of course, while strength might recede, its realm wouldn’t. It just won’t be as robust and vigorous as before.
"Hmm, not bad! The energy is incredibly dense, worthy of being the essence blood of a grandmaster." Zhang Xian observed a drop of essence blood in his palm, gave a slight smile, then stored it away in a small porcelain bottle.
The Golden-Haired Monkey King stared at Zhang Xian and let out a low growl.
"Thank you."
Zhang Xian gave a chuckle and turned to leave.
The Golden-Haired Monkey King watched Zhang Xian until he disappeared into the woods, before turning to a cave in the mountain.
"Zhang Xian, you... you actually managed to get the essence blood from the Golden-Haired Monkey King?" Jing Yi ran up to Zhang Xian when he returned, laughing in disbelief. This guy, he’s simply a miracle!
Luo Shuining also followed suit, looking at Zhang Xian with excitement.
"Yes, I got it."
Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Unfortunately, this can’t substitute the Heartless Fruit, otherwise, I could help you with Alchemy."
Looking puzzled, Luo Shuining quickly waved her hands and said, "No... no need, you risked your life to get this, how could I accept it?"
"Even if you wanted to, you couldn’t!" Zhang Xian laughed.
As for whether it was worth his life or not, he had not contemplated that much. Luo Shuining was a cute girl. He would not hesitate to help her when he can.
"Haha..." Jing Yi suddenly burst into laughter, "Now, that old man must be seething with rage."
Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Cannot help it, who told him to mess with us before? If he had not provoked us before, I might have chosen to cooperate with him, but he was too arrogant, daring to cross me, Zhang Xian. He should be ready for my retaliation. So what if he is a grandmaster? If we cross paths again, I will still bully him."
"You are indeed badass," Jing Yi nodded in agreement, "To dare to bully a grandmaster whilst in the innate realm, I’m afraid you’re the only one. And you’re just a kid."
"Of course..." Zhang Xian chuckled, "My badassery is unparalleled."
"Psh..." Jing Yi rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian, "The moment I start complimenting you, you become full of yourself?"
Zhang Xian asked, "Am I smug? On the other hand, you always blow things out of proportion. Don’t you know, that could make people uneasy? One day, you will be in danger."
Jing Yi asked, "How am I in danger?"
Zhang Xian replied, "Do you think every man can be as pure, friendly, and loving as me?"
"You?" Jing Yi made a face, "The words you just used have nothing to do with you, so cut the crap."
At these words, Luo Shuining couldn’t help but smile. Zhang Xian can be really humorous at times. Being with him is truly enjoyable. She never felt like this when she was in the sect.
"Alright, I think it’s time to head back," Zhang Xian said with a smile, "We’ll gather as many medicinal herbs as we can on our way to the edge of the zone, but let’s not linger if we can’t find any."
Jing Yi looked at Zhang Xian and asked, "So... we’re just going to leave?"
"What? Can’t bear to leave?"
Zhang Xian laughed bitterly, "Don’t tell me you want to spend Chinese New Year here, I do not share the same interest. If you do, have Luo Shuining accompany you."
"I... I don’t..." Jing Yi quickly looked away.
In truth, she enjoyed the time she had spent around Zhang Xian and wasn’t ready to depart so soon. Once they leave the Dragon Mountain Range, she knew she might not get to see Zhang Xian again.
