The Monkey King

For more than ten years, I endured all the pain alone.

This stone monkey seems to have long been accustomed to enduring all kinds of pain. For him, he is willing to endure no matter what and is willing to grit his teeth and endure it.

Time has carved scars into his body, but has given him a heart as strong as a rock, strong enough to withstand all the pain in the world.

As long as the final goal can be achieved, every scar on the body will shine brightly. The scarred body and the scarred heart will all become witnesses of victory. As long as we can reach the other side, everything is worth it.

But tonight, when everything in the past was intertwined in front of him, and his emotions were infinitely amplified, he suddenly had a moment where he no longer wanted to endure it, wanted to vent violently, wanted to give up, wanted to die, wanted to end this ridiculous drama...

"Maybe, death is a good ending." He thought.

Running wildly, stepping on the stone step by step, the cracks in the floor were so heavy that even the heart and lungs were shaken.

However, this feeling at this moment made the monkey extremely comfortable.

Pain and blood are like indispensable drugs to him, which can give his mind a moment of peace, making him flock to it and go crazy.

When it gets close, raise your hand and punch with all your strength.

Dan Tongzi crouched down slightly, grabbed it with his side hand, and caught it firmly.

That set of movements was coherent and smooth, almost flawless.

The monkey tugged hard on the fist that had been caught, lifted up his whole body, and actually somersaulted directly towards Dan Tongzi's neck.

The attack was fierce, without any tricks, but so clever that even Dan Tongzi faintly moved. Seeing that his knee was about to hit his neck, Dan Tongzi had nowhere to dodge.

However, after all, there is a gap of two levels. The reaction, speed, and even strength and experience are all significantly different. How can it be possible to succeed so easily?

I saw Dan Tongzi tearing away the monkey's hand that was holding tightly, and abruptly changed the direction of the monkey's volley in mid-air.

If this was just a defense that could not truly resolve the crisis, then Dan Tongzi's next move would be enough to amaze all the Taoist disciples present.

Dantongzi turned sideways and hit the monkey's back hard with his shoulder.

"Crack!"

There was a crisp sound that everyone could hear clearly, and it was terrifying.

What followed was a heart-rending wail, and a wisp of blood sprayed into the air.

He was thrown out hard and fell to the ground, dragging him for two feet and leaving a deep blood mark.

Such strength made all the Taoist disciples tremble with fear.

That blow seemed gentle, but in fact it had injected all the energy in the body into the shoulder. A collision, if it were other practitioners of the Nashen Realm, especially those of the Enlightenment Realm, would be fatal.

This Dantongzi is also an extremely arrogant person. He says he can use one hand but cannot use both hands. But apart from that, he also tried his best to defend against the enemy!

The cold moonlight shone on the earth, the torches burned creakingly, the whole world fell silent, and everyone held their breath.

For a long time, the monkey lying on the ground remained motionless as if dead.

However, no one believed that that monkey would fall down like this, no matter how powerful Dan Tongzi's attack was, no one believed it.

This is a monster, a complete monster, a monster that has no pain and is not afraid of death, as if it has an immortal body.

No matter how badly injured he is, he will get up quickly and fight again.

Bursts of laughter rang out, dry, hoarse laughter, spreading to every corner. Falling into the ears of every Taoist disciple, it aroused a chill in the heart.

Under the moonlight, the monkey, whose body was already scarred and stained with blood, could barely hold himself up, trembling.

Yang Chan's expression was extremely solemn, and tears kept rolling in Feng Ling's eyes.

Qingyunzi couldn't help but took a step forward, stretched out his hand and said: "Brother, stop, he..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the monkey standing up tremblingly, coughing and a mouthful of blood spilled out. All the bones in his body were clanking, and his skin was covered in scratches and dripping with blood.

A pair of hands hung weakly on his chest, his slightly lowered head was covered in the shadow of the moonlight, and no one could see his expression clearly.

The ferocious appearance is enough to make everyone feel heart-stopped.

It was still the dry laughter, but it gradually became warm and manic.

"Are you coming?" Dan Tongzi's eyes narrowed slightly.

If he couldn't win, why was he fighting?

What an incredible monkey. Dantongzi thought.

Before anyone could think about it, the next moment, there was a roar and the monkey raised his head. He had already clenched his fists and burst out with all his strength and rushed towards Dan Tongzi.

There was a faint flash of panic in Dan Tongzi's eyes, but soon, he was already in a posture to accept the attack.

Sprinting and running wildly again, the monkey jumped up high, waving his hands and feet and pounced on Dantongzi.

The moonlight shone on his back, casting a shadow on Dan Tongzi's face.

"Extremely stupid!" Dan Tongzi narrowed his eyes slightly and spat. He immediately closed his left fist, crushed the stone slab with one foot, and struck out - this blow hit the monkey's abdomen hard without any surprise!

The bloody body suddenly shook in the air and was about to collapse.

There was no wailing, a wisp of blood sprayed out directly from the mouth, accurately splashing on Dan Tongzi's eyes!

"Ouch!" Dan Tongzi couldn't help but closed his eyes. For a moment, he clearly saw the monkey vomiting blood laughing.

He was hit by such a heavy blow on the abdomen, but he didn't show any pain at all. He was smiling.

Dantongzi felt a chill in his heart.

He couldn't help but raise his right hand to wipe away the blood splattered on his eyes. However, at the moment when he was distracted, the monkey took action.

The battle between immortal cultivators is more often about fighting not spiritual power or class, but will!

In such a life-and-death situation, even a single distraction can be fatal.

Both hands came out and grabbed Dan Tongzi's left hand fiercely, leaving ten bloody marks and forcefully tearing back the body that should have been tilted back.

The next moment, before Dan Tongzi could recover, he had stepped on Dan Tongzi's propped up left hand, jumped in front of him, and hugged him tightly.

Bite!

Howls sounded out one after another, but it was Dan Tongzi's voice.

In the panic, Dan Tongzi fell down, and the monkey pounced on him, biting and clawing. No matter how hard Dan Tongzi tore at him, he couldn't break free.

As strong as Dan Tongzi, now he can only struggle!

All Taoist disciples shuddered.

The whole world fell silent, and in the cold night, only Dan Tongzi's screams remained!

"This..." Qingyunzi couldn't help but opened his mouth wide, stomped lightly, and flew towards the two of them in the air.

At this moment, Dan Tongzi, who had completely lost his composure, had already grasped Monkey's waist with both hands, pushed him away with all his strength, and kicked him away.

The force of this kick was so strong that the monkey was kicked more than eight feet off the ground. It was floating like a kite that had lost its string. It fell heavily to the roof with a loud noise, smashed through the roof and slid into the house!

Countless broken tiles fell down like raindrops.

"Senior brother..." Qingyunzi landed in front of Dantongzi, but was so shocked that he didn't know whether to step forward.

At this time, Dan Tongzi sat paralyzed, trembling all over, looking at the blood all over his body in disbelief.

He reached out and touched his shoulder. The armor at that area had been torn open, and there was a stinging sensation from the deep tooth marks.

His whole body was burning, with countless deep and shallow scars, and those nails directly penetrated the armor on his body.

Everyone was watching all this with their mouths open, and at this moment, they didn't know what to say at all.

The door of the house was slowly pushed open, and the bloody monkey squeezed out from the crack in the door, fell to the ground, struggled to get up, held on to the wall, raised his head and looked at Dantongzi, breathing heavily, his face All crazy laughter.

He reached out and pulled out the tile stuck on his shoulder. Only one half-lidded eye remained on his already disfigured face, but he still stubbornly assumed an offensive posture.

At this moment, everything was silent, and everyone was quietly watching this extremely tenacious monkey.

With his crumbling body, it was clear that there was no possibility of fighting anymore. But why on earth is he still like this?

No one understands, just as they don’t understand why this monkey traveled thousands of miles to get here, why he knelt in front of the door and waited without moving an inch, and why he persisted even though he knew he would lose. Faith will never flinch even if it means death.

They will never be able to understand that kind of mood, that kind of will, that kind of fearless perseverance.

And he doesn't need to understand that even if he is alone, he will go on and never retreat!

"Save him, save him..." Feng Ling looked at Yang Chan with tears in his eyes.

That was pleading.

"Please, I know you must have a way to save him..."

"He's fine." He sighed helplessly. Yang Chan could only smile bitterly, turned around and deliberately turned up the volume, joking: "What a great uncle Dantongzi. He said he was using one hand, but in the end he was using both hands and feet. Dantong Uncle Master Zi is true to his word, and today I and other juniors have all seen it."

That sound fell into the ears of all the Taoist disciples present, but no one dared to laugh, but the laughter had already sounded in Dantongzi's heart and lingered.

He looked back around, and all the Taoist disciples looked at him in horror. Those pairs of eyes, faces, and no matter what expression they were on, all turned into ridicule in his eyes at this moment.

Dan Tongzi jumped to his feet, turned around and shouted: "Hey Yang Chan, don't talk nonsense here! If Junior Brother Ling Yun hadn't told you earlier, I would have kicked you out of the Taoist Temple!"

"Really? You know if I'm talking nonsense!" Yang Chan was not afraid and directly contradicted: "My master is Ling Yunzi, and there is a master above the master. If you chase me, it's not your turn. Uncle Master, speak up! Could it be that after being in charge for so many days, you really regard the Xianyue Sanxing Cave as your own?"

Everyone could hear this word clearly.

"You!" In an instant, Dan Tongzi's face turned purple.

Yang Chan smiled harmoniously.

The laughter fell into Dan Tongzi's ears, unusually harsh.

The moment he turned around to see the monkey, Dan Tongzi suddenly read a hint of ridicule on his face.

This is a provocation! provocative!

"This monkey..." After a moment of astonishment, anger burst out. He became furious with shame and couldn't stop being angry. Dan Tongzi gritted his teeth and shouted: "I'm going to kill you!"

"Qiang——!"

In anger, he actually drew out his sword, and a cold light shone in all directions!

"Stop! Senior brother!" Qingyunzi stood in front of Dantongzi in horror and shouted: "If you kill him, how will you explain to the master!"

Surging spiritual power condensed on the blade.

"Go away! I will kill anyone who blocks me today!" Dan Tongzi roared angrily and knocked Qingyunzi to the ground with his sword pointed at the monkey.

However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly widened!

Wearing a white robe without wind, he has pale hair and slightly raised eyelids.

At some point, Subhuti and Yu Yi appeared behind the monkey. With a slight tap of his hand, the monkey fainted as if the last bit of strength had been taken away from him.

Suddenly, Dan Tongzi, Qingyunzi, Yang Chan, Feng Ling, and all the Taoist disciples were stunned and looked at the old man blankly.

He slowly turned around, his white robe fluttering in the wind, and glanced at the two Taoist disciples who had fallen to the ground. His wrinkled eyes looked around the audience meaningfully.

Everywhere he looked, everyone knelt down.

Finally, his eyes fell on the sword in Dan Tongzi's hand.

"What if I blocked it?" Subhuti asked coldly.

With a clang, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and Dan Tongzi fell to his knees: "Disciple, I don't dare!"

Subhuti stared at Dantongzi coldly for a long time, making Dantongzi's scalp numb. Subhuti was stunned without saying a word.

Everyone was silent. All the disciples gathered together in the huge Three Stars Cave with the setting moon, but not a single sound could be heard.

Dantongzi's head was buried lower and lower.

After a long silence, Subhuti slowly spoke.

"Yu Yi, take care of two Taoist disciples. You two, kneel down in Qianxin Hall. Everyone else should disperse."

After that, he slowly bent down, reached out and picked up the bloody monkey, and rode away in the wind.
