If Wang Dong were to truly fight the monkey, it was hard to say who would dominate whom.
Most likely, Wang Dong would be pinned to the ground and utterly thrashed by the monkey.
Well, if "Lover's Tree Maiden" were to fully unleash her power, the monkey might even be at a disadvantage...
At this moment, another Rank Nine magical treasure flew out of the cave.
Everyone's eyes fixed on it, and they saw a small, unremarkable black embroidery needle.
This needle was precisely the "Witchcraft Needle" that Hao Ren greatly admired.
With this needle for a surprise attack, if handled skillfully, there was even a chance to take down three "Nascent Soul cultivators" in one fell swoop.
Excellent, very powerful!
Hao Ren planned to bestow the "Witchcraft Needle" upon Yun Tianzhong.
On this expedition down the mountain, the mature and steady Yun Tianzhong was the leader, so gifting the "Witchcraft Needle" to him was most appropriate.
However, before the "Witchcraft Needle" could even reach Yun Tianzhong, the monkey's eyes gleamed with cunning. It let out a cackle and suddenly sprang forward, snatching the "Witchcraft Needle" mid-air.
This monkey, despite outwardly disdaining a certain senior, calling them despicable, shameless, vulgar, and lewd... had learned every bit of what it should have learned from that senior.
Take this "Witchcraft Needle" for example, the monkey adored it.
Such a useful item for surprise attacks, ambushes, and robbery was essential for any traveling household; missing out was simply not an option!
Therefore, the monkey immediately set its sights on the "Witchcraft Needle" and snatched it.
The moment it obtained the "Witchcraft Needle," the monkey had already conceived a hundred plans to use its properties to trick others.
Heh heh heh...
As it thought of the more "exciting" parts, the monkey couldn't help but let out a joyful and hearty laugh.
This laughter sent shivers down the spines of everyone around.
Holy cow!
What is this monkey up to now? It's so terrifying, so dreadful!
Meanwhile, Wang Dong, who had been intending to cause trouble for the monkey, also stopped.
It wasn't that he was afraid of the monkey, but he felt there was no need to bother it now. He could just leisurely "watch the show" because the monkey was about to face misfortune.
It was obvious that the needle, the "Witchcraft Needle," was meant for Yun Tianzhong, and the monkey had intercepted it. He wondered if the senior would beat it until it "could barely take care of itself"?
Heh heh...
Inside the cave, a certain senior was indeed a little annoyed.
Damn it, you dead monkey, daring to steal my stuff, are you looking for death!
Hao Ren instinctively took out the "Nine Dragon Jade Seal," preparing to smash it against the monkey's face.
He hadn't beaten up the monkey in a long time and his hands were itching for a good fight.
However, Hao Ren thought for a moment and decisively put down the "Nine Dragon Jade Seal."
Can't be impulsive, impulse is the devil.
Uh, alright, the truth was Hao Ren wasn't entirely confident he could defeat the monkey in one blow.
The monkey of today was not the monkey of yesterday.
The current monkey was incredibly powerful, it was an "officially certified" Buddhist cultivator, it possessed a "golden monkey hair" given by a "mysterious great will," and its "Dharma Appearance and Heaven and Earth" was unbelievably formidable...
In front of everyone, if Hao Ren couldn't instantly defeat the monkey, where would his reputation as a "senior" lie? Could he still "pretend to be awesome" happily in the future?
Therefore, Hao Ren decided not to bother with the monkey for now.
Just as Hao Ren intended to de-escalate the situation, someone couldn't stand it.
"Poison Lady" Peng Shiliuniang's delicate eyebrows shot up, and she said indignantly.
"Where did this wild monkey come from? How outrageous! My lord, I'm going to fight that monkey!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Ren quickly advised.
"This, this doesn't seem appropriate! You are a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the monkey is only at the Golden Core realm, uh... you can beat it for half an hour casually, breaking its limbs is fine, but absolutely do not kill the monkey!"
Xiao Long Nü
(￣ェ￣；)
Master, you're not trying to mediate, you're clearly "fanning the flames"!
As expected, after Hao Ren's "advice," Peng Shiliuniang's fighting spirit soared. With a sharp cry, she directly lunged forward.
Outside the cave.
The monkey, having obtained the "Witchcraft Needle," was feeling quite pleased with itself. Unexpectedly, "Poison Lady" Peng Shiliuniang burst out.
As a "Nascent Soul cultivator," Peng Shiliuniang immediately adopted a "bullying the weak" tactic.
She activated her true essence.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Powerful true essence surged like a tide, instantly restraining the monkey.
Threads of "true essence" continuously wrapped and bound it, and soon, the monkey was tied up like a zongzi and hoisted high.
Crack!
With a whip of her long whip!
A sonic boom echoed through the air.
"Poison Lady" Peng Shiliuniang conjured a long whip with her true essence, swinging it left and right, delivering a soul-piercing lashing to the monkey hanging in mid-air.
Crack, crack, crack...
This scene stunned everyone.
So exciting!
A super beauty in a tight spider-skin suit, with a voluptuous figure and an "aggressive aura," wielding a long whip and delivering a beating.
The feeling was incredibly exhilarating!
Many "Yun Family Immortal Mansion disciples" couldn't help but clench their legs.
"Who is this Miss Leather Suit?"
Some "Yun Family Immortal Mansion disciples" couldn't help but ask.
"Werewolf" Yun Tianping glared and reprimanded.
"Don't speak nonsense, what Miss Leather Suit, this is Fairy Shiliu, the senior's personal maid..."
Yun Tianping paused, then lowered his voice and instructed everyone.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this likely might become the senior's confidante..."
Oh, so she's the senior's confidante!
No wonder she's so beautiful, so... heroic and valiant.
Yes, "heroic and valiant," not "aggressive aura"!
The gazes of everyone towards "Poison Lady" Peng Shiliuniang suddenly changed, and they looked at her with solemn respect.
As long as it was related to the senior, whether it was a matter or a person, it was enough to make them show solemn respect.
The monkey, having been thoroughly beaten, was both angry and resentful.
"Jiji jiji..."
It was one thing for that damned human to bully me, but you, just a maid by his side, dare to bully me? I can tolerate anything, but a monkey cannot tolerate this! It erupted!
The "Little Spirit Monkey King's" eyes shot out brilliant light.
Rumble!
A deafening roar.
Endless spiritual light surged up.
A majestic aura exploded forth.
The "Little Spirit Monkey King's" body suddenly grew.
One zhang... ten zhang... fifty zhang...
In an instant, the "Little Spirit Monkey King" grew to a hundred zhang in size.
Dharma Appearance and Heaven and Earth!
This was the divine ability that the "Little Spirit Monkey King" had mastered earliest, and was the most proficient and powerful.
When it unleashed the "Dharma Appearance and Heaven and Earth divine ability," the "true essence restraints" that "Poison Lady" Peng Shiliuniang had imposed on it instantly shattered.
It regained its freedom.
The "Little Spirit Monkey King" propelled its "golden giant ape dharma appearance" to touch the heavens, its aura overwhelming. Its pair of monkey eyes coldly gazed down at "Poison Lady" Peng Shiliuniang below, its killing intent sharp and piercing.
