218 An Anomaly (1/2)
The whole mountain was relaxed and festive but this was interrupted by a huge commotion in one of the upper chambers.
There, dead monkeys littered the corridors and the stench of blood filled the air. Spiritual energy buffeted through the tunnels like a hurricane, sending the weaker beasts scurrying away for cover.
”Ahhhhhhhh!” A shrill female scream echoed across the tunnels.
It was followed by terrified monkey howls as if a literal devil from the underworld was ripping them to shreds.
”What is going on!” General Sun bellowed as he stormed up.
A crowd of about twenty monkeys had a young woman cornered. But instead of the woman cowering, it was the monkeys that looked scared.
General Sun swept the area with its spiritual sense and took stock of the carnage. One of the dead was an older human female which wasn't anything. However, it was completely taken aback to find seven dead monkeys in total.
The immortal monkey grabbed the nearest underling by the tail, ”Explain, hurry up!”
The smaller monkey pointed to the woman and chattered loudly in monkey speech while making wild gestures.
”Don't spew such nonsense,” The general was enraged, ”This bitch went crazy and killed your brothers? You can't beat her? Human shit!”
The woman couldn't have been older than twenty and she was only at the 8th Level of the Body Refinement Realm. These scared underlings were all at the upper Mind Focusing Realm or the lower Spirit Initiate Realm.
This was absolutely unacceptable. What would happen if the king heard about this shameful display?
The general heaved the offending monkey forward, ”Kill her now, or I will kill you!”
”Eek! Eek! Woooo!!”
The thrown monkey was smaller than the woman but it was at the 9th Level of the Mind Focusing Realm. It should have had no issues ripping her to shreds but instead… the opposite happened.
The woman's eyes glowed crimson and an ominous bloody aura erupted from her naked body. She grabbed the offending monkey and proceeded to rip it apart limb by limb until there was only a pile of flesh remaining.
She then stood back up and stared hatefully at the enemies around her.
”You monsters… mother… sister… I'll kill you all!” She yelled.
General Sun was astonished. Chen Wentian was astonished. All the monkeys that were attracted by the commotion were even more astonished.
This woman… had skipped realms!
It was a mythical ability, it didn't exist. It was the stuff of fairy tales and idle imagination…
”Oo oo…”
”Go!”
The second monkey nervously turned around and faced off against the strange woman. It was at the 1st Level of Spirit Initiate Realm and much stronger but it didn't have the confidence it should have. Forced by its leader, it nervously approached and launched a punch.
Bam!
The woman's eyes glowed red once again and she tried to block but the strength difference was too much. Her bloody spiritual cloak was swept away and she was blasted into the tunnel wall. She uttered a painful groan before collapsing
”Hoo hoo hoo!!” The second monkey laughed, now filled with confidence.
