Dongbo Xueying's speed was incredibly fast, and in a few flashes, he had already approached. However, his speed also began to slow down.
"Human, get lost," the golden monkey bared its teeth and threatened.
"Alchemic creatures are ultimately not true life forms; they must follow their master's commands," Dongbo Xueying thought to himself. The two alchemic creatures had obediently waited for so long after their master's death, clearly indicating that their master had given strict orders.
Dongbo Xueying was getting closer.
The golden monkey still did not attack.
Whoosh.
When Dongbo Xueying stepped into the range previously covered by the ripples, the golden monkey immediately roared and charged forward.
Dongbo Xueying immediately took a step back, and the golden monkey immediately stopped, glaring angrily at Dongbo Xueying.
"Boundary?" Dongbo Xueying smiled, looking at the boundary of the area previously covered by the ripples. "Did your master order you to attack anyone who intrudes into the boundary? If I stay outside the boundary, you won't attack?"
The golden monkey growled, "Human, what if you know? Still, get lost!"
Dongbo Xueying was in a good mood, thinking it would take multiple tests to confirm the command the Extraordinary gave to the alchemic creatures before his death. Unexpectedly, he immediately determined the attack boundary.
"Then, let's see what you've got." Dongbo Xueying held the Feixue Divine Spear and suddenly darted into the boundary. The long spear transformed into a stream of fiery light, piercing towards the golden monkey. The surrounding flames completely enveloped the golden monkey, and the power of the flames was formidable, but the golden monkey, an Extraordinary alchemic creature, was completely unfazed.
"Human, die!" The golden monkey swung its massive palm down, completely ignoring Dongbo Xueying's spear.
Pfft.
The spear pierced the golden monkey's knee, leaving only a white spot. As an alchemic creature, its body material was incredibly tough. Even if Dongbo Xueying were ten times stronger, it would be difficult to damage its body.
Boom! The massive palm struck down, and Dongbo Xueying quickly dodged.
"Extraordinary alchemic creatures have extremely strong defenses," Dongbo Xueying thought. "If I can't pierce through, I'll have to rely on strength. Fortunately, its agility is slightly worse than mine."
In the moment of engagement, he determined the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent.
Thud, thud, thud! Heavy sounds echoed as Dongbo Xueying, enveloped in flames, moved like a ghost around the golden monkey, dodging repeatedly while striking and sweeping with his spear. He focused on joint areas, such as the knee and ankle joints. Alchemic creatures were flexible in combat, and these joints were more complex and less resistant to attacks.
The golden monkey staggered occasionally when hit in the joints but remained unharmed, continuing to strike with its massive palm.
"Monkey, can't you even deal with a human? Looks like I have to step in," the golden great roc, which had been standing like a statue, suddenly opened its eyes and glanced at the monkey with the same golden eyes.
"You just watch," the golden monkey growled, grabbing the chain wrapped around its body. The chain flew out, and it swung it with a whoosh.
"Huh?"
Dongbo Xueying was startled. The chain, moving like a phantom, struck towards him. He instantly thrust his spear, piercing one of the chain's links, but the chain immediately wrapped around the spear.
"Can use a chain, and the chain is quite powerful in the monkey's hands. Fortunately, the technique is simple, otherwise, it would be impossible to fight," Dongbo Xueying's expression changed, and he immediately became cautious. The chain increased the golden monkey's attack range, making it difficult for Dongbo Xueying to dodge. Although the opponent's strength wasn't outrageous, it was still a bit stronger than his.
Stronger in strength, invincible in defense, and the chain was quite bizarre, making it quite challenging for Dongbo Xueying.
However, relying on his agility, he could still hold on.
"A human has fought this long!" The golden great roc swooped down, moving so fast it became a blur. Dongbo Xueying was startled, it was so fast!
The wings whistled past like sharp blades.
Dongbo Xueying hurriedly blocked with his spear, and the wings collided with the spear shaft.
Peng!
A collision sound echoed, and Dongbo Xueying was sent flying backward. At this moment, a bizarre chain swooped in, trying to bind Dongbo Xueying.
"Clang." In mid-air, Dongbo Xueying thrust his spear, changing the chain's direction.
Then he landed, taking three steps back, naturally staying outside the boundary.
Dongbo Xueying looked at the distant golden monkey and golden great roc, feeling somewhat troubled: "In terms of strength, the golden monkey is actually above me. Its only weakness is agility, and even then, I find it difficult to fight. The golden great roc is much faster than me. Together, they are impossible to fight."
Fighting together, he would only be overwhelmed.
"Haha, human, I admit you have some strength, but to defeat us, you are far from enough. Your spear is just like an itch to me," the golden monkey laughed smugly.
"Hmph." The golden great roc was less talkative.
"No rush, I have enough time," Dongbo Xueying remained calm. "My body is constantly getting stronger, and my斗气 (martial qi) is also improving! Once my body reaches its limit, my strength will likely increase significantly. Then I will try fighting these two Extraordinary alchemic creatures again."
...
Yishui City.
While Dongbo Xueying was fighting the two Extraordinary alchemic creatures, Ji Rong returned to her home in Yishui City. She had been kicked out of Snowstone Mountain early in the morning.
"Rong'er, why are you back?" Ji Wuhai and his wife were by their daughter's side.
"Damn Dongbo Xueying!"
Ji Rong's face was cold, her eyes filled with ferocity.
She hadn't been so frustrated in a long time! She had already taken revenge on those who had bullied and looked down on her. In Snowstone Mountain, she was even more pampered... after all, she was the second most beautiful girl after Kong Youyue.
"Dongbo Xueying?" Ji Wuhai was a bit puzzled. "What happened? Did you find out the secret of the Dongbo family?"
"No," Ji Rong said coldly. "The wealth of the Dongbo family is not important. The most important thing is... this Dongbo Xueying is an extremely powerful Titleholder! Last night, he and Xiang Pangyun died together at Blackwind Cliff."
"Died together with Xiang Pangyun?" Both Ji Wuhai and his wife were shocked.
Heavens.
Although they had encountered some strong people, Xiang Pangyun was the strongest in the entire Qinghe County. How old was Dongbo Xueying? Could he be on par with Xiang Pangyun?
"He is a Titleholder? This is a major event, we must report it to the Guardian immediately," Ji Wuhai said.
"Dongbo Xueying is dead, and he must have left many treasures to Qing Shi," Ji Rong said angrily. "I originally wanted to stay by Qing Shi's side, and getting those treasures would have been easy. But unexpectedly, before falling into Blackwind Abyss, Dongbo Xueying expelled me from Snowstone Mountain and told Qing Shi not to be with me."
"So many treasures, if I could get them and offer them to the Guardian, our family's contributions would be great, and the great god would give us more blessings," Ji Rong's eyes were filled with anger and frustration.
"This is a major matter, report it to the Guardian immediately," Ji Wuhai said. "The faster, the better!"
At this moment, on the street outside the Ji family's residence.
A large group of knights and soldiers had arrived, led by Lord Si An of Longshan Tower.
"Lord, I have been watching, Ji Rong just returned home," a spy reported.
Lord Si An nodded slightly. "Dongbo Xueying is such a genius, he will surely attract the attention of Extraordinary beings. We must handle everything perfectly. The Ji family is suspected of being heretic believers, although it hasn't been confirmed! But they have committed many serious crimes, which is certain. Arrest them all... to prevent the Ji family from informing the heretic's followers and causing more trouble."
"Lord is wise," You Tu praised.
They had already sent people to watch, and as soon as Ji Rong returned home, they arrested her.
"Go in and arrest everyone in the Ji family, including the servants, not a single one should be left! There might be heretic believers among the servants," Lord Si An ordered.
"Yes!"
Boom!
A large number of soldiers quickly surrounded the residence. The two guards at the Ji family's gate were terrified and panicked but dared not resist. The knights immediately charged forward, kicking open the gate. Rumble, a large group of knights and soldiers flooded into the Ji family's residence.
