Within about half an hour, Sien Xiao left with Gu Meng Tai. Both of them headed towards a forest full of beasts not so far from the Earth Smashing pavilion.
This forest was not as big as Hua San forest, but there resided a legendary king of beasts—and it was actually Sien Xiao and Gu Meng Tai’s target.
“Thank you, elder, for helping me,” Sien Xiao said while leaping across the sky.
Gu Meng Tai nodded carelessly. “Don’t sweat it. I’m not doing it for free. You’ve paid me for it. There’s no need to thank me.”
Sien Xiao nodded and did not say anything more. He sped up, hoping to reach the forest as fast as he could.
Even though Sien Xiao was so afraid of death, he did not think power would come to him without doing anything. Due to that, he had always been longing for more power and sometimes giving it his all and risking his life for it.
Once he was stronger, his fear of death would decrease. For him, his fear had actually gotten better after 7 years here in the celestial world.
“Be ready. We’re almost there,” Gu Meng Tai said with a calm, yet serious, voice.
However, that was only normal. Even though Gu Meng Tai was a divine realm cultivator, killing a tertiary legendary beast was not easy for him, especially when he did not know how close it was to the divine level.
If it had already put one foot into the divine realm, it would be very tough to kill.
“I’ve been ready for a long time,” Sien Xiao responded while looking ahead. He saw a vast forest.
There were a great many trees of different kinds. Sien Xiao’s face tensed. He spread out his psychic power to search for the legendary beast king.
He had heard from Gu Meng Tai that that it was a golden-furred monkey who possessed an incredible speed. It would not be easy to catch it. Killing it would not be easy, either.
However, Sien Xiao did not worry at all that he would not be able to catch up with the beast. He was quite certain that he would be able to do it!
That was because he possessed a supreme speed technique!
Yes… it was one of the supreme techniques of speed masters. It was not easy to get. He had had to collect as many as 5000 magical bonuses to make a trade for it.
Suddenly, Sien Xiao sensed a strong aura in the centre of the forest.
“That’s definitely the golden-furred monkey. Just wish it doesn’t step into the divine realm already,” Gu Meng Tai said before leading Sien Xiao into the forest. He also spread his psychic power out.
Seeing that, Sien Xiao immediately followed him.
In the blink of an eye, he caught up. Then, his body trembled madly because of the aggressive cry of a beast.
“You humans dare to trespass on my territory. How courageous!”
This growl was from none other than the golden-furred monkey, the legendary beast king!
The golden-furred monkey was as large as a small mountain. Thick, hard golden fur covered its body. Its eyes were blood-red. It emitted a violent aura.
It was standing in mid-air, only about 40 steps away from Sien Xiao and Gu Meng Tai.
As soon as the monkey appeared, beasts and cultivators around there quickly ran away. They were all clearly scared of the legendary beast king.
That was not everyone, however. Sien Xiao and Gu Meng Tai were still there. They stopped at more than 10 steps away from the beast.
“Golden-furred monkey, hand me your core or you’ll be tortured to death!”
Gu Meng Tai shouted this aloud. Even though he was tensed up now that he had to face the legendary beast king, he did not fear. He believed that he and Sien Xiao would be able to kill it.
“Such arrogance!” The golden-furred monkey was furious. “Do you think mere humans like you will be able to hurt me? Ridiculous. Let me tell you this. I’ve been here for many thousands of years, and this is the most hilarious thing that I’ve ever heard!”
The monkey growled loudly. Its voice was terrifying. The air around it was distorted, and the ground shook so madly as if there was a big natural disaster.
“Golden-furred monkey, you have quite a mouth on you. I, a divine realm cultivator, am here in front of you. Aren’t you scared of death?” Gu Meng Tai spoke coldly through his teeth. He did not fret at all.
“Yes, monkey. You should know who you’re dealing with. Elder Gu Meng Tai is a divine realm cultivator. You don’t stand a chance. Quickly surrender and hand me your core!” Sien Xiao also shouted.
The golden-furred monkey was angry, but it did not lunge for the men just yet. It was not because of fear—it just did not want to initiate a fight right now.
It had to anyway, otherwise its reputation as the king of the forest would be ruined.
It just did not want to underestimate these two men. It knew that they were strong cultivators.
Gu Meng Tai was a primary divine cultivator, and Sien Xiao was a tertiary legendary one. How could it not be cautious?
