Chapter 66: Xiong Pi

  The second update!

  Black Ape King of Cuihuashan Cave?

  Chen Xiao's heart couldn't help but rise with a sense of absurdity. That was one of the seven great demon kings, and this bear actually thought highly of itself!

  "Thank you for your hospitality today, Senior Chen. We will take our leave now."

  "Yes, I have something urgent to attend to, I'll come again another day to bother you, senior."

  "Goodbye!"

  It was not only Chen Yao, but other great demons who heard Xiong Pi's words also changed color and shape, and immediately bid farewell to Chen Yao one by one, as if avoiding a plague, never looking at Xiong Pi again from start to finish.

  Mu Kui watched from the side, also feeling anxious, and quickly transmitted a message: "Senior, that Black Ape King dominates several tens of thousands of miles around, possessing the terrifying cultivation of the Purple Mansion realm. Which big or small monster dares not listen to him? Although the Geng Jin Sword Bamboo is precious, this bear is clearly harming you, you absolutely cannot agree."

  Chen Xuan heard this and did not respond with a yes or no, but instead shifted his gaze towards Xiong Pi.

  At present, Chen Xiao has reached the boundary of the Zi Fu realm. His body's aura seems calm and serene, but it carries a hint of mighty pressure that blends with the heavens and earth.

  Xiong Pi was only in the perfect realm of innate heaven, but soon fell short under Chen Tang's gaze. He sighed and shook his head, saying: "Forget it, since senior doesn't want to, let's just pretend I never mentioned this matter."

  As he spoke, this tall and majestic bear demon rarely revealed a hint of despair and sorrow, turned around and left with big strides.

  "Can you tell me the reason?" Chen asked.

  "My younger brother died miserably at the hands of Hei Yuanwang, and as his older brother, how can I not avenge him?" Xiong Pi stopped in his tracks, speaking slowly after a long pause, his voice filled with sorrow and indignation.

  Younger brother?

  Chen Zhuo suddenly remembered his younger brother Chen Hao, recalled the scene where he saw his brother's right hand being crippled outside Songyan City, and remembered the pain he felt at that time. For a moment, he was stunned.

  It's been more than three months now, and I don't know if Little Hua has entered the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect. With Meng Kong teaching him, he shouldn't have any accidents, right?

  "I'm very curious why you're certain I can kill the Black Ape King. I'd like to know the reason." Chen Xiao said contemplatively.

  Xiong Pi suddenly turned around and said in a daze: "Senior is willing to help me?"

  "Old bear, do you think Chen Tuan would agree with you if he didn't know anything about it?" Mu Kui said with a frown beside him.

  Xiong Pi took a deep breath, as if to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said slowly: "That Hei Yuan Wang is the weakest among the seven great demon kings, although he has already advanced to the Zi Fu realm, but so far he has only cultivated to the fourth star of the Zi Fu stage."

  Mu Kui's expression changed drastically as he burst out laughing: "Elder Chen Chao has just broken through to the Violet Palace realm, and you're already letting him go kill the Black Ape King of the fourth star of the Violet Palace?"

  Xiong Pi's expression didn't change, and he continued to say: "These messages can't help Senior, but I think Senior will eventually fight against the Black Ape King. One mountain can't contain two tigers; this principle is something that Senior should understand better than me."

  "And I've received news that Lai Hu died at the hands of a senior, and Lai Hu was Black Ape King's trusted ears and eyes, helping him patrol his territory and monitor the great demons. Now that Lai Hu is dead, Black Ape King will not let it go easily." Xiong Pi dropped another bombshell.

  "Lei Hu is Black Ape King's confidant? Impossible, how could I not know?"

  Mu Kui exclaimed in shock, his face filled with incredulity. If what Xiong Pi said was true, then his own situation would also become precarious, after all, Li Hu had died at Bao Yue Mountain, and as everyone knew, Mu Kui was extremely close to Chen Tai...

  "If you know, how did Li Hu become the eyes and ears of Hei Yuan Wang?" Xiong Pi asked back.

  Mu Kui finally panicked, looking at Chen Tai with a bewildered expression. As a congenital realm great demon who had lived on the Black Ape King's territory for over a thousand years, how could he not know the Black Ape King's ferocity?

  "So you're saying that whether I help you or not, I'll still face the revenge of the Black Ape King?" Chen Xiao asked coldly.

  Xiong Pi didn't say anything, but his attitude has already explained everything.

  "Alright, I'll accept your Jianjin sword, but I won't take the initiative to attack unless the Hei Yuan Wang comes looking for me." Chen Tai said this, also worried that Xiong Pi was deceiving him.

  "Thank you, senior! Whether I succeed or not, this old bear will never forget the great kindness and virtue of his seniors!" Xiong Pi let out a loud "Wooo", knelt down on the ground, knocked his head three times with a loud thud, and when he lifted his head again, tears were streaming down his face.

  This straightforward and majestic man, having obtained Chen's promise, seemed to have put down the burden he had been carrying in his heart for many years, crying silently, crying sorrowfully, crying freely!

  ——

  ——

  "Yuan Tongdao, friend, please come quickly to Xiao Yue Ridge, there is a matter to discuss - signed: Zhan Feng"

  Cui Shui Cave, a young man in green robes with white hair stared blankly at the book in his hand, muttering to himself: "I don't know what that old demon Kun Peng wants to do, but he sounds so urgent, I'm afraid this guy has invited more than just me, could something big be happening?"

  Just at this moment——

  Pomelo!

  A white-feathered spirit bird flew in and transformed into a beautiful female demon, anxiously shouting: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

  The young man in the green robe with white hair was none other than Yuan Tong, the Black Ape King and one of the seven great demon kings of the Cui Shui Cave. He glared at the beautiful female demon with dissatisfaction and asked, "Xiao Ru, how many times have I told you? In times of great importance, one must remain calm and composed. What's the use of panicking? Hurry up and tell me, what has happened?"

  The beautiful female demon, Xiao Ru, took a deep breath and said quickly: "The king asked me to find Li Hu, but unexpectedly this tiger demon had already died!"

  "What?" Yuan Tong was taken aback.

  "Not only that, I passed by Bao Yue Mountain and not only found Lü Hu's corpse at the top of the mountain, but also found many big demons gathering halfway up the mountain, as if they were celebrating for a human cultivator."

  Yuan Tong was stunned again: "Human cultivator?"

  "Yes, those great demons all addressed him as Chen Tai. From my observation, it seems that he has just advanced to the Purple Mansion realm, which is why these great demons have come together to pay their respects."

  "No wonder, it turns out that this human cultivator had advanced to the Violet Palace realm a few days ago."

  Yuan Tong finally understood thoroughly, and a ferocious look flashed across his pale face: "Hmph, on my turf, not only did you not come to pay your respects to me, but you also killed my trusted aide Lie Hu, you're really asking for death!"

  "Your Majesty, that person is indeed deserving of death, but the most detestable one is actually Ling Jiushan Xiong Bi. He actually presented a three-foot-long golden sword to that human cultivator..."

  "What! A golden sword made of bamboo? Or one that's three feet long?" Before Xiaoru could finish speaking, Yuan Tong's expression suddenly became agitated and he loudly roared: "This damned bear demon, how dare it not offer me such a treasure?! It's truly detestable!"

  "Your Majesty, the bear's offer of the Golden Sword of Bamboo also comes with conditions. The condition is that the human cultivator must agree to... to kill... to kill..." Little Ru said hesitantly.

  "Who killed him?" Yuan Tong was already furious, his face twisted in rage, his body emitting a malevolent aura, his demeanor extremely terrifying.

  "Kill..."

  "Hurry up and say it!"

  "Kill the great king you."

  Bang!

  Yuan Tong slapped a palm on the nearby desk, and in an instant, it turned into a pile of powder.

  "Damn it! Damn it! All of you should die!"

  Yuan Tong was originally a cruel and violent black ape, at this moment under furious anger, his white face suddenly surged with black bristles like steel needles, his mouth opened wide, two rows of sharp fangs instantly grew to two feet long, exposed in the air.

  Hmph!

  Yuan Tong looked up at the sky and let out a long whistle, his voice rolling with majestic energy as he burst out of the Cui Shui Cave, stirring up the air within a thousand miles, frightening the big and small monsters in the surrounding area who were secretly cultivating, so that they all fell to the ground, trembling with fear.

  After a long time.

  A violent gasp sounded, as if suppressing the anger in his heart.

  "How detestable! I have no choice but to attend to the matters of that old demon Kunpeng. Fine, after I return from Xiao Yue Ridge, I'll thoroughly annihilate these damned things!"

  Yuan Tong's low and brutal voice was surging inside the Cavern of Sparkling Water.

  ——

  ——

  Three days have passed.

  Mu Kui felt as if three years had passed, every second making him anxious and sleepless.

  Was that bear deceiving people? The Black Ape King never intended to find trouble with Senior Chen Xuan.

  Mù Kuí couldn't understand, it was precisely because he couldn't understand that these days were really too painful for him, feeling like an ant waiting for death, and still not knowing when death would occur...

  As he thought of this, Mu Kui couldn't help but look into the distance, and saw that on the cliff's edge amidst the sea of clouds, a tall and slender figure was practicing sword techniques, with clothes fluttering in the wind, sword movements like the wind, expression serious and focused, posture light and airy.

  Chen Yao's senior's temperament is indeed as firm as a rock!

  Mu Kui had lost count of how many times he had come to admire, these three days whenever his mind was restless and uneasy, he would come here, as long as he saw Chen Yao's figure, he felt a lot more at ease in his heart, as if the sky were falling down, he wouldn't feel afraid.

  Chen Tai's pressure is not much less than Mu Kui's.

  He didn't expect that he had just advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm, but because of killing Li Hu, he offended the Black Ape King of Kuangshui Cave. However, since there was no way to hide, he instead put all his thoughts and pressure on cultivation.

  The Zifu boundary is a whole new world, a qualitative transformation. To exert its full strength and master this power with ease, one must work hard to cultivate it.

  At this moment, he was cultivating the "Great Evolution Wind and Cloud Sword", and in his hand was that three-foot-long Gengjin sword bamboo.

  Swish! Swish! Swish!

  The sword light danced, like a strong gust of wind, flashing quickly, tearing out residual sword marks in the void.

  "Tai Yi Wind and Cloud Sword" First Move - Gale Sweep Shadow!

  It is said that when one reaches the ultimate state, namely the unity of heaven and man, in a single sword swing, a falling leaf can be cut into thousands of fine threads, evenly and swiftly.

  And what delighted Chen Xuan was that, due to the Gengjin sword's extremely sharp edge, it also contained an extremely terrifying Thunder Ring aura inside. When he unleashed the Swift Wind Flash, not only was it as fast as lightning, but it also added a chill and destructive power, its might far exceeding his expectations.

  "I had previously mastered the swordsmanship to the level of 'knowing the subtleties', if I can break through the realm of unity between heaven and man in a short period of time, when fighting against the Black Ape King, I should have an extra grasp."

  Time slips away drop by drop.

  On the cliff's edge, amidst a sea of clouds, sword lights flashed horizontally like billions of threads, suddenly appearing and disappearing. Chen Xiang was like a tireless wooden puppet, immersed in the infinite mysteries of swordsmanship.
