Singing with a Sword

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! Xue Wuyai smiled coldly, suddenly flapped his wings and took flight. A swarm of blood bats flew out from beneath his wings, soaring down directly over the metal man's head and heading towards the Hezhi Divine Monkey!

But the huge, clumsy metal man also leaped up and blocked the blood bats once again!

Xue Wuyai frowned. The seemingly clumsy metal man was actually incredibly agile!

The monkey with its toes clasped together sneered, "Damn humans, you want to catch me? Wishful thinking! Watch how my metal dolls crush you!"

Xue Wuyai pondered carefully. Most spells are formed in front of the caster and then shot towards the enemy, requiring them to travel a certain distance. However, the enemy now had an impenetrable defense line in front of them, making it impossible for spells to pass through!

"It seems I have no choice but to use illusion magic." Xue Wuyai muttered coldly to himself. "Illusion magic can be applied directly to the enemy! It doesn't require any attack distance! As long as I keep my eyes fixed on that dead monkey's eyes, I can defeat and capture it!"

Seeing that Xue Wuyai remained silent, the ape with its toes snarled arrogantly, "What's wrong, human? Are you scared? Haha, if you're scared, then admit defeat, and I'll take you as my monkey grandsons." After saying that, its monkey eyes stared directly at Xue Wuyai without any restraint.

A smile crept across Xue Wuyai's lips. This monkey is truly arrogant, actually staring into my eyes! What a golden opportunity! Instantly, the mental energy in Xue Wuyai's sea of ​​consciousness surged rapidly, and the illusion was about to be activated!

The monkey's pupils contracted, and it immediately realized something was wrong! This guy's eyes were casting an illusion on it! The monkey wanted to close its eyes immediately or look away, but it was too late! Its consciousness was weakening! Its limbs were weak and powerless! The hand seals it was performing also stopped! Then, the metal figures that were just jumping around lost their life force and stood motionless in place, like statues.

Xue Wuyai laughed smugly, "Little monkey, now you know how powerful I am, right?" The light in the eyes of the Hezhi Divine Monkey gradually faded, and its consciousness was about to go blank. The monkeys behind him chattered and shook the Hezhi Divine Monkey, but it remained standing motionless, as if its consciousness had been ripped away.

"Your Majesty, the Divine Monkey is in our hands!" Xue Wuyai walked towards the Divine Monkey with its toes joined, his eyes still fixed on it, continuously casting illusions on the monkey. He dared not be careless; only by constantly looking into the monkey's eyes and casting illusions on it could he ensure complete control over the monkey.

However, just as he walked up to the metal man, something unexpected happened!

With his last remaining shred of consciousness, the Monkey King transformed himself into a pangolin! Instantly, his eyes lowered by more than a meter! In that instant, Xue Wuyai saw nothing! In that mere fraction of a second, the Monkey King also broke free from Xue Wuyai's illusion! Then, he immediately formed hand seals, and the six metal puppets instantly came to life!

boom! boom! boom!

Six fists slammed into Xue Wuyai, who was standing right in front of him! The attack came too suddenly and at too close a distance, leaving Xue Wuyai completely unprepared!

boom!

Xue Wuyai was sent flying backward by the blow! He spat out a mouthful of blood, which drew a bloody arc in the air.

"Grand Preceptor, are you alright?" Emperor Dibai immediately called out. The only reply was the proud voice of the Monkey King with its toes clasped: "Gaga, Grand Preceptor? So you're an emperor of a country. Interesting, very interesting. But your Grand Preceptor is certainly going to die by my hand this time!"

Di Bai's expression changed, and he immediately said to the eight servants, "Go quickly! Help the Grand Preceptor in battle!"

“No need,” Xue Wuyai, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly said. He slowly propped himself up and continued, “Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. I can handle this monkey all by myself!”

"But……"

"Your Majesty, I am not so weak. I can handle this monkey all by myself!"

Xue Wuyai stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the monkey that had injured him with a cold smile. The Siamese Monkey stood tall and proud, full of arrogance, but it did not meet Xue Wuyai's gaze, only looking at his lower body.

"You still want to use illusion magic on me? No way! As long as I'm not staring at you, your eye techniques won't work. Since you're unwilling to be my monkeys and their grandchildren, then I'll just kill you all!"

The first to react were Lao Mo and the others. "Master Xue, let's run! If we don't escape now, we'll all be wiped out!" They didn't believe that Xue Wuyai could use any more powerful moves.

"Yeah, yeah, at worst we won't charge you the extra thousand gold coins! Staying alive is the most important thing!"

Emperor Di Bai looked at the blood at the corner of Xue Wuyai's mouth and said, "Grand Preceptor, there's plenty of time. As long as we're alive, we can always fight again. How about... how about we retreat first?"

This monkey god is too powerful! After fighting for so long, our side hasn't even managed to harm the monkey god's true form! All our spells, except for illusions, have been blocked by those six metal figures! Now that the monkey god has found a way to defend against illusions, how can we possibly continue this battle?

We're completely outmatched! Let's retreat!

"Gaga, trying to escape? No way! Metal dolls, kill, kill these humans!" The swastika monkey danced excitedly, as if watching others being slaughtered was the greatest pleasure of its life!

Xue Wuyai, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. He did not answer the crowd's words about retreating, but instead said to the Hezhi Divine Monkey, "Monkey, you are too arrogant. Xue Wuyai hates arrogant people the most in his life, let alone a beast like you!"

"Damn it, you can't hit me!" The Siamese monkey was also furious. This human was quite arrogant!

Xue Wuyai suddenly closed his left eye, his right eye fixed on the monkey god's body. "Who said I can't hit you?" His right eye suddenly widened, and dense blood vessels appeared abruptly on its surface.

"Blood Bat Secret Technique, Blood Bats Appear Suddenly!"

Suddenly, a large number of blood bats appeared abruptly around the Divine Monkey! These blood bats did not fly out from Xue Wuyai's body, but appeared directly around the Divine Monkey! They did not need to cross spatial distances; they simply appeared around the Divine Monkey!

This move is Xue Wuyai's eye technique! Wherever his eyes look, a large number of blood bats will suddenly appear! Moreover, this move doesn't require the enemy to make eye contact with him! He only needs to look at the enemy! So even if you have metal figures blocking your way, as long as I see you, I can use this move! It will suddenly make blood bats appear all around you! And attack you by biting!

Like now!

The Monkey King was surrounded by the blood bats, as if shrouded in a thick black cloud! The six metal figures remained motionless, because the Monkey King was being torn apart by the blood bats and could not free his hands to form hand seals!

And so, Xue Wuyai turned defeat into victory!

Everyone was stunned. This technique—wherever you look, blood bats will appear? If that's true, this technique is completely undefendable!

terror!

"Grand Preceptor, please don't kill the Monkey King with the Toes Together!" Di Bai exclaimed in surprise, as he was most concerned about obtaining the Monkey King with the Toes Together.

To be honest, Xue Wuyai really wanted to kill that hateful monkey, but he couldn't ignore His Majesty's words. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I only had the blood bats bite the monkey's fur to prevent him from moving easily. I didn't damage the monkey's skin or flesh."

As he spoke, with a thought, all the blood bats surrounding the monkey's head disappeared, revealing the monkey's head. The blood bats on its body then bit its fur, preventing it from moving freely.

The Monkey King glared angrily at Xue Wuyai and roared, "How dare you be disrespectful to this Great King? Be careful, the giants will kill you later!" Xue Wuyai said disdainfully, "Oh, so those giants were your subordinates. Heh, but unfortunately, I killed them all."

As Xue Wuyai spoke, he walked over, flipped his palm, and a palm-sized iron cage floated in his hand. Xue Wuyai muttered a few words, and the iron cage seemed to come alive, automatically floating up and continuously expanding, then enveloping the Hu Zhi Divine Monkey in its entirety. At that moment, the blood bats on his body all dissipated.

"You despicable humans, how dare you lock me up!" the Siamese monkey roared angrily. "I am a divine beast, how dare you capture a divine beast! You will all die a horrible death!"

Xue Wuyai continued chanting the incantation, and the iron cage gradually shrank back to the size of a palm. The divine monkey's size also shrank. Suddenly, the divine monkey's eyes moved, and it transformed into a mosquito, about to rush out of the cage. However, the iron cage flashed with a blue light, and a barrier appeared inside the cage, repelling the mosquito back.

The mosquito transformed back into its monkey form, scratching its head and baring its teeth as it stared at Xue Wuyai. Xue Wuyai ignored it and instead said to Di Bai, "Your Majesty, the mission is accomplished."

"Haha, Grand Preceptor, well done! A great reward awaits you upon our return," Emperor Dibai said with a hearty laugh. The eight servants removed the protective barrier. Dibai walked over, admiring the divine monkey in the iron cage. He watched with relish for a while, then his gaze shifted to the subordinates of the unicorn monkey, and he asked, "Grand Preceptor, do you think these monkeys under the unicorn monkey might also be divine monkeys? Or monkeys with extraordinary skills?"

Xue Wuyai then looked at the monkeys huddled under the rock wall, trembling. After observing them for a while, he said with disappointment, "Your Majesty, these monkeys are just ordinary monkeys. They don't have any special talents or abilities. But it would be nice to take them back as pets."

Di Bai was in a great mood. "One, two, three, four... sixteen, that's exactly sixteen monkeys, hmm—" He glanced at the eight servants, the seven mercenaries, and Yi Ranxiao, and said, "There are exactly sixteen of you, so I will give each of you a monkey."

When the emperor was in a good mood, he always liked to give rewards, and Di Bai was no exception. However, he didn't have any treasures with him today, so he could only give these monkeys to these people as gifts.

Debai gave eight of the stronger monkeys to his eight servants, and then distributed the remaining seven monkeys, in order of quality, to Old Mo and his brothers. Because Mengda had offended Xue Wuya, Debai gave Mengda the old monkey that the Hezhi Divine Monkey had used as a bench.

Meng Da was furious. Damn it, this monkey was used as a bench by other monkeys, so its status must be extremely low. And you, the dead emperor, actually gave it to me? Isn't this an insult to me?
