Chapter 2182 - 2183: Eaten Alive
After the attack ended, he raised his hand. Meng Shan, whom he was protecting beneath him, had a vacant expression, her pupils lifeless, as if she was still reminiscing the scene of the Fire Monkey's death."Sigh." Lin Chen let out a light breath. He didn't say much, just gently patted her back.
When Meng Shan's parents died last time, the most tragic scene had been covered by the fire, so although Meng Shan was heartbroken, the tragedy wasn't clear to her.
But now it was different.
The Fire Monkey died right in front of her, what's more important, it died saving her. This shock caused Meng Shan's body to still tremble continuously…
Lin Chen gently patted her back, then he raised his head, his gaze focused on the distant platform.
After the attack had ceased, the thick chains were wielded by the Monkey King's hand, finally coiling around his muscular arm, adding a sense of Evil Qi to his already robust arm.
Its gaze was completely dark, seemingly vacant, but its slightly turned head was staring intensely at a spot on the ground obscured by sand and dust.
That was the very spot where the previous figure had been slapped and sent flying.
The figure appeared particularly disheveled at this moment, the right cheek swollen grotesquely, lips already askew, spitting out shattered teeth mixed with blood from the parted mouth.
His heart was still trembling incessantly, his constricted pupils revealing much fear as he looked at the Monkey King's form.
Thump!
The chains on the Monkey King at this moment had all been shed. It began to walk slowly.
Though the pace was slow, it seemed to carry explosive power. That power, when stepping on the hard ground, instantly caused the platform's surface to sink, revealing a deep footprint, interspersed with a thread of dark Evil Qi.
The rumbling sound was so intense that it made the earth tremble, and the tremors startled the figure into a cold sweat, his expression filled with fear.
He originally wasn't a match for the Monkey King. Previously, it was only through sneak attacks that he managed to injure the Monkey King and trap it here.
But his own cultivation level was far from being a match for the Monkey King. Now the Monkey King's power far exceeded his imagination, in such a situation…
His pupils flickered, then he looked again at the Monkey King, his eyes filled with deep resentment. If only he could capture this spirit beast and nurture it into a spirit corpse...the increase in power would not be just half.
But the current situation clearly did not allow him to do so.
Immediately, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Despite the resentment, he could only escape at this point.
His speed was extremely fast, circling around the stone pillar, creating a few afterimages. Stepping on the stone pillar and leveraging the momentum, he flew upwards towards the opening rapidly, like a sparrow soaring.
Even though his Spirit Pill realm strength was far inferior to the Monkey King, his speed was agile, not believing the Monkey King could be as quick as him.
Unconsciously, he had already flown several meters. The small opening above seemed to grow larger at a visible pace as he sprinted. He raised his head to look upwards, eyes fixed on the ever-approaching opening, a trace of mischievous delight surfacing in his heart.
"Big Brother... that bad person is running away..."
Meng Shan raised her head, a hint of urgency appearing on her tender face stained with blood, she grabbed the sleeve of Lin Chen beside her, speaking quickly.
"Don't worry, he won't get away." Lin Chen patted her head gently and responded softly.
Then he looked back at the scene.
The Monkey King's black face revealed no expression, only twisting the thick chains in its hand.
With its waving, the chains emitted a whooshing wind sound, constantly spinning. At the end of the chain, a skull was gathering, its skeletal eye sockets oozing some lingering Evil Qi, seemingly a gaze from the underworld.
Roar!
The Monkey King roared, and then its two-meter-tall form stepped forward. As it stepped out, the thick chains seemed like a grim reaper's specter, shooting swiftly towards the figure!
The figure had finally stepped out using the stone pillar, leaping towards the opening still three meters away overhead.
However, at this moment, the attack had arrived. In mid-air, he only felt a surge of killing intent approaching, and as he turned to the side, the cold chain was already near his front!
"No!"
Mid-air without any leverage, he could only disperse all his Spiritual Energy. Both hands one up, one down, the Spiritual Energy gushed from his hands, connecting above and below, forming a substantial barrier in front of him, sheltering his body.
A crisp crack sounded as the barrier just erected, and with the sound, the barrier shattered entirely, like glass dispersing into starry bits.
Following the barrier's shattering, his body was struck on the chest by the rope. The immense force made the rope exceptionally hard, colliding with his body, instantly punching through with a huge mouth!
And then the force of the chain was not exhausted, it slashed through, continuing forward several feet into the rock wall before finally halting.
"Ah..."
A sharp scream echoed from mid-air. The figure struggled violently above, the pain contorting his expression.
He clutched tightly to the chain, trying to pull himself free. But now his whole body was skewered, wanting to break free was evidently impossible.
But the Monkey King ignored all this, starting to twitch the chain. The thick chain was shaken into waves, transmitting upward from the lower end.
With a thud, as the force propagated along the chain reaching the figure, the thick chain collided back and forth with the wound on his chest, tearing the original wound wider, from throat to thigh, almost tearing him in two!
His hands originally gripping the chain could no longer hold on, and with the shaking, loosened in an instant. His body slid down the chain.
In mere moments, he had fallen to the Monkey King's hand on the chain.
Despite such severe injuries, the person surprisingly remained alive, struggling to lift his head, staring at the Monkey King, eyes filled with vicious resentment.
"You..."
Before a word could be uttered, the Monkey King opened its beastly maw wide, swallowing the figure's head whole!
The sound of chewing echoed from its mouth, blood mixed with saliva oozing out, adding to the gruesome scene.
The hard skull was swallowed with its chewing, leaving only the hair sticking to the blood-stained scalp, spat out from its mouth...
