219 Chapter 219 Breakthrough (1/2)
”Who would've thought that the spiritual monkey king would also succumb to the dark force...”
Sensing the increasingly scary spiritual aura of the spiritual monkey king, Fang Yuan shook his head and gave a serious look.
He had confidence that he could defeat the previous spiritual monkey king, but now, the current spiritual monkey king gave him a feeling of danger.
”Elder Zhou...”
He was back facing Elder Zhou and was signalling for them to find their way out.
”Sir... take care!”
Elder Zou protected the Qin siblings and ran towards the wall to hide.
In the next moment, a powerful spiritual aura filled the entire place.
”Wuu! Wuuuuuu!”
The enraged monkey shrieked, and countless dark force hands were dancing around, almost covering the entire cavern.
”Whooo!”
A black shadow rushed forward and struck a claw out at Fang Yuan.
”Ha!”
The spiritual armour on Fang Yuan's body started to glitter. Channelling strength to his right hand, he struck his fist out.
”Bang!”
As the fist and claw met, Fang Yuan's expression changed. He flew backwards and cracks appeared on his spiritual armour. Within seconds, it shattered and disintegrated into sparks.
”Wuu! Wuuuuu!”
The black enraged monkey was much more fierce than before. With its weird shriek, its third eye between its eyebrows opened, and a huge force landed on Fang Yuan.
”Whoosh!”
Not just that, but a dark streak of light shot out from its third eye, and it quickly landed on Fang Yuan.
'What the hell! How does it being possessed allow it to be stronger?'
Fang Yuan's expression changed and tried his best to break free from the force.
”Whoosh!”
The dark streak of light flew past its shoulders, destroying his elemental force armour. His clothing started to disintegrate, and even his golden body was not able to withstand it. A small part of his muscle started to dissolve, revealing an open wound.
”This power...”
”Whoosh!”
With a flash, Fang Yuan used his Shadowstep and escaped into a random tunnel, disappearing.
”What a powerful monkey. It was different from what it used to be...”
Without turning his head, he quickly ran.
”It seems to have the Seventh Elemental Force, comparable to when Nie Kuang was at his peak! Not just that, his third eye has two unique abilities. One of them is the Gravitational Technique, and the other would be that dark streak of light!”
Thinking about the ambush from the monkey king, even Fang Yuan started to shudder in fear.
The intensity of that attack was enough to kill him!
”What a strong dark force... Furthermore, I could feel the evil intent of it...”
He rubbed the area between his eyebrows. While they were fighting, his dream elemental force from his Zu Qiao could detect the evil intent from the monkey king.
”Hatred, pain... It seems like a combination of negative feelings?”
Fang Yuan thought to himself. ”Only a fool would pit himself against the unknown, not to mention that it was such a powerful adversary!”
Not far from him, there was a cry.
He was unclear if it was the Qin siblings who had encountered the monkey king, or sacrificial knights trying their best to distract the monkey king.
Taking this rare opportunity, Fang Yuan continued to explore his way and took a huge detour, finally reaching the deepest part of the cavern.
”I don't know how deep this cavern this. I can randomly pick a place and defend, and that should be no problem... Of course, the best would be for me to find an exit and escape from either the entrance where we came from or another exit!”
In the midst of rushing his way, Fang Yuan released his spiritual will in an attempt to find an exit.
”The tunnel ahead is a dead end!”
”The tunnel on the left has no air circulation, and from there comes the occasional roar. It will be likely to meet the spiritual monkey king there...”
”There's wind noises and water splashing from the hole in the right. There might be a hidden river or exposed exit!”
...
As he gathered all the information with his spiritual will, he quickly assessed each of them.
Using his Shadowstep, he rushed into the tunnel on the right.
”Whoooo! Whoo!”
As a gentle breeze was felt, a hidden river was revealed underneath.
”Bloop! Bloop!”
The water from the river was not clear. Instead, it was a green liquid. It was bubbling continuously and was continuously eroding the river banks on both sides.
”Wuu! Wuuuuuu!”
The monkey king was heard, and Fang Yuan could vaguely see a huge silhouette chasing from behind.
”Chi chi...”
Fang Yuan bent down and stretched his right hand into the river.
”Chichi!”
The corrosive river water was resisted by the elemental force and golden glow from his hand.
”... Never would I have thought that I would be forced to such an extent. Are the novels reliable? They always let the protagonist encounter a miracle after jumping into rivers, right?”
Fang Yuan's thoughts ran wild. With a splash, he leapt into the green river, displacing a huge amount of water.
As the green river water landed on the walls and the ground, it started to corrode holes, and from the holes came a white smoke.
”Splash!!!”
An even greater splash of water was heard.
It was the spiritual monkey king. Seeing Fang Yuan attempting to escape by jumping in, it couldn't care less and followed suit.
