Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2994
Chapter 2994: Combat Will
Translator: Legge )
In a cave abode deep in the Sanguine Ape World, an old ape seemed to have sensed something and opened his eyes slowly.
The old ape’s fur was already white and his eyes were turbid, as though he could break through layers of space and see the situation in the combat arena. “How rare, how rare…”
The old ape murmured softly, “After the Calamity of the Sanguine Apes, the fighting will of our clansmen gradually waned and they’re no longer the same as before. To think that we would be able to see a junior with such fighting spirit.”
“It’s just… a pity.”
The old ape sighed with pity and guilt.
He knew very well what consequences this junior would face, but he was powerless to change it.
Even if he was a World Lord.
Not far away from where the old ape sat, there was another Sanguine Ape Emperor. When he heard that, he said, “The two Horse Monkey Emperors are under the orders of the Blessed Heaven World to monitor our every move.” “If we step in, they’ll definitely report it. If we really attract the Blessed Heaven World’s invasion, all our clansmen will not be able to escape death.” “Combat, our Sanguine Ape World can’t withstand a second calamity.” When the old ape heard that, he waved it off. “Stop calling me Combat. I’m no longer worthy of this title. The reason why my clansmen have fallen to their current state is related to me bowing down to the Blessed Heaven World back then.”
The Sanguine Ape Emperor said, “We all know that you had no choice but to lower your head to the Blessed Heaven World back then because you wanted to protect the bloodline of your clansmen! If not for that, the Sanguine Ape World would have been gone back then.”
“Furthermore, although we lowered our heads, we still straightened our backs and did not submit. At the very least, we did not kneel down to the Blessed Heaven World and become lackeys like those two Horse Monkeys!”
The old ape looked deeply at Monkey on the combat arena again and lamented, “What a good junior. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt such a combat will. Sigh.”
Ma Xiao was dead.
The vicinity of the blood-colored mountain peak fell silent!
Be it the Sanguine Ape lineage or the Horse Monkey lineage, they looked at the figure on the arena in disbelief with widened eyes and shocked expressions. Everyone knew the consequences of killing Ma Xiao.
Naturally, Monkey knew that as well.
However, he still committed to the kill!
When they saw that, the emotions that many Sanguine Apes had suppressed for a long time were suddenly released!
They felt a long-lost will from Monkey!
It was a fearless, indomitable spirit that fought against the heavens and the earth!
That emotion spread silently in the crowd.
A blood glint appeared in the eyes of many Sanguine Apes and the long-awaited fighting spirit in their bodies was gradually awakened. “How dare you!”
“You have a death wish!”
The Horse Monkeys reacted and cursed.
“Hahahaha!”
Monkey reared his head in laughter and stood in the pool of blood on the combat arena with his head held high. His eyes were bloodshot as he surveyed his surroundings with an arrogant expression without any regret or fear! Woo!
The sound of sharp blades tearing through the air was extremely ear-piercing! It was Ma Xuan who arrived at the combat arena where Monkey was. Without even greeting him, he raised his spear and stabbed towards Monkey’s chest! “Hmph!”
Sensing danger, Monkey harrumphed coldly and raised his staff, parrying the incoming spear and fighting Ma Xuan.
This battle was equivalent to the final round of the Perfected Spirit Battle. The outcome of a fight between the two of them was indeterminate and the situation was unclear. As such, it was not appropriate for Su Zimo to interfere. Yuan An said in a low voice, “The difference in their cultivation realms and bloodlines is too great. Senior Brother Yuan Huang will definitely lose.” Another Sanguine Ape sighed. “Senior Brother Yuan Huang had no intention of walking out alive to begin with. Even if he can win Ma Xuan, he will have to pay with his life for killing Ma Xiao.”
On the combat arena, Ma Xuan no longer held back. His blood qi surged and he brandished his spear, suppressing Monkey completely.
However, Monkey relied on his tenacious and unyielding fighting spirit to defend against Ma Xuan’s violent attacks head-on. Instead, the more he fought, the braver he became, as though he had endless strength! Impatience flashed through Ma Xuan’s face as his blood qi surged once more and he released his Bloodline Phenomenon. The phantom of a tall and burly Horse Monkey appeared behind him and controlled a torrent that drowned Monkey’s figure instantly!
This was a complete suppression in terms of strength!
In the end, Monkey could not defend against it and was engulfed by the torrent, flipping to the ground.
Ma Xuan took a step forward and stomped heavily on Monkey’s chest. The sound of bones cracking sounded and that kick almost shattered Monkey’s chest!
“Weren’t you cocky earlier on?!”
Ma Xuan stepped on Monkey with an arrogant expression and grinned. Monkey was long exhausted and could not move at all under Ma Xuan’s feet. Even so, the ferocity in his eyes did not diminish and he did not give in at all! “Dog, how dare you kill my clansmen? Do you yield?!”
Ma Xuan exerted strength in his feet and shouted once more.
“Yield your mother!”
Monkey cursed and spat at Ma Xuan.
Ma Xuan turned his head slightly and dodged easily. He turned around and looked at the surrounding Sanguine Apes, asking with a sinister smile, “Why? I saw that you guys were eager to give it a try earlier on. If any of you are indignant, you can come up. I’ll give you guys a chance to take me on!”
When many Sanguine Apes saw that, they felt a tremendous pressure and their battle intent that had just been awakened was extinguished once more.
Indeed, none of them could defeat Ma Xuan.
It was said that Ma Xuan had already comprehended a peerless divine power If they went forward, they would only be courting death.
In fact, it would implicate their families and brothers!
Ma Xuan’s gaze was sharp as he surveyed his surroundings. Many Sanguine Apes lowered their heads one after another and dodge, not daring to meet his gaze.
“Hahahaha!”
Ma Xuan burst into laughter with a disdainful expression and pouted. “A bunch of cowards!”
Monkey sneered, “No matter how useless our Sanguine Ape lineage is, we’re not groveling to become lackeys for the Blessed Heaven World!”
“You have a death wish!”
Ma Xuan’s expression darkened.
Even the two Horse Monkey Kings who were presiding over the scene frowned with cold gazes.
Monkey’s words had truly struck a nerve.
“So what if I killed him? What’s there to fear?!”
Monkey burst into laughter. “My life for his, that’s good enough for me!” “Do you think that you’re the only one who has to pay with your life for killing a single person of our Horse Monkey lineage?”
Ma Xuan said coldly, “Your parents, brothers, descendants, masters and all clansmen related to you have to die with you!”
“Hahahaha!”
When Monkey heard that, he laughed even more wildly and shouted, “I’m from the lower worlds and have no parents. After I ascended, I’ve never acknowledged anyone as my master, let alone have any descendants or brothers! I’m all alone by myself, kill as you wish!”
“You!”
Ma Xuan was stunned for a moment.
When Yuan An heard that, he seemed to have thought of something and shuddered. Gradually, he clenched his fists. “After Senior Brother Yuan Huang ascended, he never acknowledged anyone as his master or interacted with anyone. He was extremely cold to everyone. Initially, I thought that he was a loner…”
“So, he was doing it all for this day!”
The other Sanguine Apes gradually understood as well.
After Monkey ascended and heard what happened to his clansmen, he had long thought of this day!
He was going to exchange his life for theirs and not implicate any clansmen at all!
Monkey was using his own choices and methods to defend the Combat Dao in his heart!
When the four Immortal Kings of the Sanguine Ape lineage who were watching the battle saw that, they sighed and turned their heads with pained expressions.
Some young Sanguine Apes were even sobbing softly.
“Senior Brother Yuan Huang…”
Yuan An’s eyes were red as he looked at the figure who was still cursing arrogantly despite being stepped on by Ma Xuan in the arena. His vision was blurry.
Right then, a soft murmur sounded from beside him. “Monkey indeed has no parents, master or children. However, he still has a few sworn siblings.” Instinctively, Yuan An looked over and saw that the green-robed man who followed him had already walked forward..
