We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Outside the dense forest, Xiangcheng and his companions were engaged in a fierce battle with demons.

The demons are numerous and powerful, generally possessing supernatural abilities. They cooperate seamlessly with each other, and it is precisely this teamwork that gives them the upper hand.

Xiangcheng and the others were trapped inside, struggling to resist.

"Golden Monkey Demon!"

As Su Chen and Yun Xi approached, Yun Xi immediately recognized what kind of demons were fighting Xiang Cheng and the others.

Su Chen also realized that the golden monkey demons were among the more powerful demons in the ape clan. They were few in number, but each one was strong, possessing a powerful physique and agile speed.

Especially in the mountains and forests, their speed is so fast that even martial artists at the Divine Power Realm might not be able to keep up.

Moreover, the Golden Monkey Demon Clan is very united. If an individual is bullied, the entire clan will mobilize to avenge them.

However, in the Ten Directions World, this is a kind of demon that only exists in records and rarely appears. Unexpectedly, they actually encountered it in the Demon Cave, and even encountered thousands of them at once. It is hard to say whether Xiangcheng and his group were lucky or unlucky.

"Are you going to take action?"

After observing for a while, Su Chen looked at Yun Xi. Perhaps because they had just fought, Xiang Cheng's group had not suffered any casualties, but the number of golden monkey demons was too large. If the stalemate continued, they might not be able to hold on. He could tell that Yun Xi was obviously planning to make a move.

Sure enough, Yunxi nodded after hearing this and said, "Yes, but now is not the time. If I rush in rashly, not only will I not be able to save them, but I may even get trapped. Moreover, these golden monkey demons are very vengeful. Even if I save them temporarily, the golden monkey demons will continue to chase after us. The best way is to deal with the golden monkey king. Only in this way can we completely defeat the golden monkey demons."

Su Chen nodded, agreeing with Yun Xi's words.

He looked up and saw the golden monkey king hiding in the woods.

It was surrounded by golden monkey demons, and they were all very powerful.

According to Su Chen's perception, the strength of these golden monkey demons was generally at the supernatural power level.

Although Yunxi is very strong, she might not be able to kill the Golden Monkey King if she were to fight alone.

What about you? What are your thoughts?

Seeing that Su Chen didn't speak, Yun Xi looked at him and asked a question.

Su Chen shook his head: "I have no ideas, and I don't plan to make a move."

"Hmm?" Yun Xi frowned upon hearing this, clearly not expecting Su Chen to say such a thing.

However, she did not blame Su Chen, but asked seriously, "Why? Just because Xiang Cheng did not plead for you and let you in, you are not planning to save people? Although Xiang Cheng was indeed wrong in this matter, you should know that life and death are at stake right now, and this is not the time to pursue this matter."

She understood Su Chen's thoughts, but still hoped that Su Chen would take action.

After all, she had witnessed Su Chen's strength firsthand. Although she was not as powerful as him in terms of cultivation level, her ability to kill demons was unmatched among all the disciples of the sects in the Demon Cave.

Yes, in this respect alone, Yunxi even thinks he is more capable than Heqiu.

If he were to make a move, the two of them working together would have a better chance of killing the Golden Monkey King.

"You can handle it alone. My strength is too weak, and my intervention would only be a burden. Besides, I'm injured."

Su Chen still refused. After speaking, he ignored Yun Xi's gaze and turned to leave under her watchful eye.

Seeing this, Yunxi didn't say anything more, but just sighed softly and then turned her attention to what was ahead.

She had to act quickly, because time was of the essence.

They were not only worried that Xiangcheng and the others would not be able to hold on, but also worried that people from other sects would secretly take action if they saw this.

After all, the commotion from the battle between the two sides was not small, and it was impossible for no sect to have noticed it.

However, they may be hiding in the shadows, waiting for their chance.

After temporarily separating from Yun Xi, Su Chen concealed his presence and hid in the shadows, observing her from the shadows.

They weren't observing Xiangcheng, but rather Wuyun and the others not far away.

Wu Yun and the others were very well hidden, and even Yun Xi did not discover them. If Su Chen had not cultivated the Heavenly Wood Technique to its extreme, he might not have known either.

It was precisely because of the Heavenly Wood Technique that he could keep track of everything happening within a radius of ten thousand meters, which is why he was able to discover Wu Yun and the others.

This time they were clearly acting alone, not with the main group of the Holy Origin Sect. Including Wu Yun, there were only three of them in total.

These three were clearly Wu Yun's confidants, always by his side, doing things for him.

Furthermore, Su Chen noticed that Wu Yun and the others were not looking at Xiang Cheng and the others, but at Yun Xi.

It seems they're eyeing Yunxi.

"The dark clouds have their eyes on Yunxi, Yunxi has their eyes on the Golden Monkey King, the Golden Monkey King has their eyes on Xiangcheng, and I have my eyes on the dark clouds. This series of mantis stalking cicadas, unaware of the oriole behind, makes it seem like a play to those who don't know the situation."

Hidden in the shadows, Su Chen chuckled softly and moved closer to the dark clouds.

not far away.

The three men, Wu Yun, waited for their chance to make their move.

"Senior Brother Wuyun, you are truly a prophet. I never expected that Yunxi would actually be lured out through the Golden Monkey King."

One of the men, who was rather broad-shouldered, said admiringly.

"Yes, who would have thought there were so many golden monkey demons here? We thought there would only be a few hundred at most. If we had known there would be so many, we wouldn't have attacked the little monkey demons. Fortunately, Senior Brother Wuyun was clever and saw Xiangcheng and the others, shifting the responsibility for killing the little monkey demons onto them. This saved us from disaster and even caused a great battle between the Ziyang Sect and the golden monkey horde. We just had to sit back and watch the tigers fight."

Another man, who was slightly thinner, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Wu Yun paid no attention to the two people's praise; his gaze remained fixed on Yun Xi.

"However, what I didn't expect was that Yunxi wasn't with Xiangcheng and the others. I had seen Xiangcheng go to Yunxi before, and I thought he was telling Yunxi about this and preparing to invite her to compete for the Pure Yang Pool together."

"This has caused us trouble. We could have used this opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Ziyang Sect. Now it seems that Yunxi did not leave with Su Chen because she was trying to save Xiang Cheng and the others. Judging from her appearance, she seems to be preparing to deal with the Golden Monkey King alone."

"Leaving him aside, let's just talk about Su Chen. I thought he had some skill before, but he's just a coward. Faced with this situation, he didn't even look and just ran away. If we had known he was so cowardly, we wouldn't have needed Senior Brother Wuyun to lift a finger. We could have eliminated him with a little trick." "Hmph, he can run away for a while, but can he run away forever? Once we get rid of Xiang Cheng and Yun Xi, the Ziyang Sect will probably be finished. At that time, eliminating Su Chen will be easy. We can kill Su Chen right in front of them, and I'm afraid no one in the Ziyang Sect will dare to say a word against it."

“You’re right. Moreover, I think Su Chen’s visit to Demon Cave Mountain is definitely to compete for the Pure Yang Pool. The Pure Yang Pool has already been decided by our Holy Origin Sect. If Su Chen tries to seize it, we can take this opportunity to get rid of him and avenge Senior Brother Wu Yun!”

The two of them were speaking in unison, clearly intending to help Wu Yun get rid of Su Chen.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yun nodded: "I don't even care about Su Chen. I can get rid of him anytime I want. Even on the day we leave the Demon Cave, I can kill him the moment he leaves. Right now, I want to capture Yun Xi. I heard she is the number one beauty of the Ziyang Sect. I want to taste her."

As Wu Yun spoke, a wicked smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly, his smile froze, because under his gaze, Yun Xi had already made her move and attacked the Golden Monkey King.

Not only did he discover Yun Xi's attack, but even the Golden Monkey King witnessed it.

However, he did not resist, but instead sneered. The four monkey guardians around him, the purple, white, gold and green monkey demons, attacked at the same time.

The four monkey demons were all at the Great Perfection of Divine Power. Although they were not as powerful as Yun Xi, they had cultivated a method of cooperation, and the divine powers they could unleash when they joined forces were in no way weaker than those at the Perfection of Divine Power.

"This is the supreme divine power of the Golden Monkey King clan, the Golden Ape Heaven-Shaking Technique. It is said that when cultivated to perfection, it has the power to shake the heavens and the earth. It is a combination of strength and speed, and its power is quite remarkable. Ordinary martial artists with perfected divine powers are no match for it!"

The moment the four monkey demons made their move, Wu Yun recognized the techniques they used.

Judging from the power they displayed, they had clearly cultivated this supernatural ability to an extremely high level.

This is what makes the demon race so terrifying: demons who cultivate the same supernatural powers can join forces through bloodline techniques to unleash tremendous power.

Unlike humans, who have to rely entirely on themselves to cultivate a supernatural power, and the cultivation process is extremely time-consuming and energy-intensive.

Demons can easily cultivate a supernatural power through their bloodline inheritance.

In particular, the higher the purity of a demon's bloodline, the faster it can cultivate supernatural powers.

Because powerful demons can preserve their understanding of supernatural powers in their bloodline from generation to generation, the higher the purity of a demon's bloodline, the more memories it receives as inheritance. As a result, it is naturally easier to cultivate the supernatural powers engraved in their bloodline.

This is completely different from the cultivation methods used by humans in the early stages.

Human cultivation in the early stages is generally uniform and the speed is fast, but this is only true before the Nascent Soul stage. In the later stages, the cultivation speed of human martial artists will become increasingly slower, quickly widening the gap with the demon race, who had difficulty cultivating in the early stages.

What human warriors often need thousands or even tens of thousands of years to cultivate into supernatural abilities, can be achieved by demons in less than a few hundred years.

This is why the demon race has been able to stand for countless millennia in the myriad worlds, becoming the most powerful enemy of the human race.

If it weren't for the fact that the demon race itself wasn't divided, they would have wiped out the human race long ago, based solely on their numbers.

Amidst the fierce battles ahead, Yun Xi, as expected of the top genius of the Ziyang Sect, showed no fear even when facing the combined divine abilities of the four monkey demons. She even took the initiative to attack, unleashing her own supreme divine ability.

Su Chen had never seen such a divine power before and could not tell what kind of supreme divine power it was, but Wu Yun was knowledgeable and recognized it at a glance.

"This is the Three Bewitching Techniques, which has three moves. The first move is called the Bewitching Beauty of a City, the second move is called the Bewitching Beauty of a Nation, and the third move is called the Bewitching Beauty of the World. When these three moves are used, they have the power to bewitch the world. At the same level, not to mention men, even women might lose their minds."

Upon seeing Yunxi's bewitching power, Wuyun's face showed a look of infatuation, but he quickly came back to his senses and used his own power to eliminate the effect of the power. However, the two people next to him were not so capable of removing the effect, and in the end, it was Wuyun who took action to awaken the two of them.

"What an amazing magical power!"

Su Chen quickly regained his clarity of mind, not on his own initiative, but because the Heaven-Severing Blade had awakened him.

Even he was somewhat distracted by such bewitching magic and had to admit how powerful the Three Bewitching Techniques were.

The Three Bewitching Techniques are indiscriminate of gender and race, so once Yunxi used them, she bewitched the four monkey demons.

Taking this opportunity, Yunxi once again unleashed two supreme divine abilities: Thunderclap Across the Heavens and Nine Tribulations Gale.

As soon as the thunderclap was unleashed, everyone immediately saw a huge dark cloud appear in the sky above. Thunder surged within the cloud, making a rumbling sound. Soon, the thunderclap was fully formed. This was no ordinary thunderclap, but a thunderclap containing the five elements, making it more powerful than ordinary thunderclaps.

At the same time, as the thunder gathered, a fierce wind accompanied it. With the wind and thunder working together, two supreme divine abilities were unleashed, and the power they generated was incomparable to the Golden Ape Shaking the Heavens Technique.

Furthermore, the four monkey demons were already trapped by Yunxi's bewitching magic, so they didn't even have a chance to fight back. They were struck by Yunxi's thunderbolt, their bodies turned black, and thick smoke billowed out. Their purple, white, gold and blue monkey fur instantly turned gray and black, and their aura immediately weakened.

"It's now!"

Seeing this, Su Chen, who was not far away, immediately seized the opportunity, turned his gaze to Wu Yun and the others, and prepared to make a move.

Yunxi's commotion was too great, which gave him the perfect opportunity to make his move.

Su Chen used his Primordial Chaos Power to conceal his identity, disguising himself as a demon, and then disappeared into the huge dust cloud, attacking the direction where Wu Yun and the others were hiding.

"who?"

The dark cloud reacted quickly. Although it did not find Su Chen under the scan of its primordial spirit power, it sensed the fluctuation in the air and immediately shouted. At the same time, it leaped into the air.

boom!
With his attack, Su Chen failed to hit Wu Yun, but instead struck two of his men.

Both men were severely injured and let out a scream before dying instantly in the thick smoke.

Hearing his subordinate's screams, Wu Yun was startled, but his face did not show any panic. Instead, he quickly calmed down, wrapped his body with Yuan Power to enhance his defense and increase his vigilance. At the same time, he released his Yuan Spirit to try to find the person who had attacked him.

"pity!"

Su Chen didn't expect Wu Yun to react so quickly, allowing him to dodge and causing him to miss the best opportunity.

After failing to hit his target with his first attack, Su Chen decided to give up and turned to leave.

Because once they start fighting, he might not be able to kill Wuyun in a short time.

If the stalemate continued, he worried that He Qiu and the others would come to his aid. At that time, his identity would be exposed, which was a minor issue, but being besieged by them would be a major one.

Thinking of this, Su Chen was about to leave when he heard Wu Yun's voice:

"Found you!" (End of Chapter)
