Chapter 116: Killing the Monkey King and getting new Gu


    Trantor: Skyfarrow Editor: Skyfarrow


    “11% primeval essence, this means two moondes or sustain the monkey king’s sneak attack twice.


    Relying solely on the Moonglow Gu or White Jade Gu will not do. My only chance is the instant where


    the monkey king attacks me, I have to grasp the opportunity and shoot the moonde, instantly killing


    it!” Fang Yuan’s thoughts sparked like flint, thinking of the most optimum strategy.


    Stone monkeys did not have outstanding defense, and since the monkey king chose a sneak attack


    approach, it revealed that defense was its weakness.


    One moonde could ughter five or six jade eye stone monkeys. Even if it couldn’t kill the monkey


    king, it can still heavily injure it.


    But do not think that this is easy; getting to this point is difficult, even if a group of Gu Masters came,


    without a stealth removal type Gu they would still lose their lives.


    “This monkey is cunning, choosing not to attack, is it waiting for my primeval essence to be used up?


    Nevermind, I shall trust the Spring Autumn Cicada once and bet on this chance!” Fang Yuan instantly


    decided, his eyes shining with a cold and ruthless light.


    He stood on the spot, both hands hanging beside him, holding the cor of his shirt. At the same time,


    he closed his eyes, only leaving a slit of visibility. What is more shocking is that he removed the


    defense of the White Jade Gu.


    The expenditure of the primeval essence in his aperture, finally stopped. At the same time, he was no


    longer under the protection of the white jade light.


    The rock forest continued to reverb with the cries and anguish of the monkeys, but Fang Yuan could


    feel that these noises were getting closer and closer to himself.


    A type of calmness enveloped his heart and mind.


    He was silently waiting for the stone monkey king’s attack.


    When it attacks, that is when the match is decided!


    Waiting…


    Waiting…


    Suddenly, the Spring Autumn Cicada vibrated in the aperture.


    Pew!


    The very next moment, Fang Yuan heard an explosion and the stone monkey king appeared on his


    left!!


    “White Jade Gu!” Fang Yuan’s eyes shone with brilliance as the white jade light covered his entire


    body.


    Bam.


    The stone monkey king hit Fang Yuan’s body with a strong force, almost causing him to topple, his


    primeval essence dropping by 5%, only left with the other half!


    Seeing that his attack did not finish Fang Yuan off, the stone monkey king tried to escape!


    Fang Yuan had no time to counterattack, but it was enough for him to flick his upper shirt.


    Suddenly, he felt that there was someone on his upper shirt, tugging towards the outside direction.


    The shirt was not made of steel, and to prevent it from tearing, Fang Yuan let go of both hands, seeing


    the floating shirt fly around the ce at a shocking speed.


    “Now!” Fang Yuan’s eyes shone with cold light as the battle’s oue would be decided with this


    moonde, his heart cold and calm as ice.


    The monkey king was afterall a wild beast, and after having its face covered by a shirt, it flew into a


    panic.


    It emitted a shrill scream, calling its stone monkeys to help. At the same time the shirt continued to


    move around, changing directions and going all over the ce.


    An eerie blue moonde flew out and hit the stone monkey king.


    The monkey king cried in pain as its camouge was exposed.


    Its appearance was the same as a normal stone monkey, but its body size was three times bigger, and


    at the same time its eyes shone with a bloody red light.


    A long and deep wound stretched from its chest to its left leg, blood continuing to pour from it.


    Although not dead, it had already suffered a heavy injury, and the aura of death permeated its entire


    body. It covered its wound in shock, going invisible again.


    Fang Yuan’s upper shirt was cut open by his moonde, falling onto the ground. But the blood traces


    exposed the monkey king, and it hurriedly retreated, no longer having the idea of killing Fang Yuan.


    With such a grave injury, if it did not deal with it, it would lose its life.


    At this time, Fang Yuan also retreated to the rock door. After activating the moonde, his aperture


    only had a little bit of primeval essence left, and his battle strength dropped drastically.


    Although it looked like a draw, Fang Yuan had won.


    The monkey king’s injury could not be recovered shortly. The more blood it lost, the weaker it felt.


    But Fang Yuan could use the primeval stones to recover his primeval essence and recover his battle


    strength.


    Even without a stealth removal type Gu, nor a wide area attack method, with his rich fighting


    experience and the will of steel in the face of danger, Fang Yuan could beat the strong in a weaker


    state.


    “Monkey, fox, bei(1), these wild beasts have extraordinary intelligencepared to ordinary wild


    beasts, and are more cunning. Because of this, theyck the wild courage and often retreat while


    injured. If it were a wild boar or bull, they would go into a frenzy while injured. This monkey king seems


    to only have one Gu worm. Although the Gu worm could grant stealth, it cannot hide blood traces, and


    if my guess is correct, it should be the Rank one stealth rock Gu.”


    Fang Yuan pondered in his heart, and relying on his memories, the monkey king had no more secrets


    in front of him.


    “The results has been decided.” Fang Yuan returned to the rock room, closing the door and


    replenishing his primeval essence.


    A momentter, his primeval essence went back to its peak state, and Fang Yuan opened the rock


    door, being in the rock forest once again.


    The rock forest was still a mess, but better than before.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    “After this chaos, the entire rock forest’s forces will be reset. The stone monkeys will relocate and


    regroup, and the roaming and isted stone monkeys form into new monkey gangs. The path that I


    painstakingly created would thus vanish.”


    Fang Yuan’s heart sank, he needed to kill the stone monkey king before this path ispletely gone.


    If not, opening this path would expend much of his time again, and by the time he got to the center


    again, the monkey king would’vepletely healed.


    He shall chase after and annihte lingering enemies with bravery, rather than be easily contented with


    fame andpliments like Xiang Yu(2).


    Fang Yuan trailed along the opened path, invading the rock forest. The stone monkeys who appeared


    in his way were all exterminated.


    Fifteen minutester, he appeared at the central pir once again.


    The stone monkey kingid on the ground; it had turned into a statue and was already dead.


    A jade eye stone monkey was stepping on its corpse, screaming about.


    Recing the title of king, with the death of the former king, a new king takes its ce. Regardless of


    the beast group or human society, this was the cruel elimination system.


    “Saved some effort of mine.” Fang Yuan slowly got closer.


    At this moment, a Gu worm slowly floated from the corpse of the stone monkey king, flying towards the


    new king.


    Moonglow Gu!


    Fang Yuan shot out a moonde just in time, chasing away the new stone monkey king, then walking


    up and grabbing the Gu worm.


    This Gu looked ordinary like a grey rock, with an uneven surface that was not even squarish nor


    spherical. If this Gu was thrown on the road, no one would notice it based on appearance.


    But in reality, it was the essence of a rock, a natural Gu nurtured by Mother Nature.


    It seemed like an inanimate object, a rock. But in fact, it was the real deal, a living being with its own


    consciousness and thought.


    As Fang Yuan predicted, it was the Stealth Rock Gu.


    Grabbed by Fang Yuan, it desperately struggled, trying to be free of his demonic grasp.


    Spring Autumn Cicada.


    Fang Yuan called in his mind, and the Spring Autumn Cicada appeared in his aperture, leaking a trace


    of its aura.


    The Stealth Rock Gu instantly went dead, not daring to struggle, like a mouse meeting a cat.


    Fang Yuan’s red primeval essence activated and instantly refined it.


    Another Gu in the bag!


    The Stealth Rock Gu was kept in the aperture and sunk to the bottom of the primeval sea, side by side


    with the White Jade Gu.


    The stone monkey watched helplessly at the side, and on seeing Fang Yuan keep the Stealth Rock Gu


    into his body, it frantically jumped about, screaming incoherently.


    It had just gotten the new position, so not many monkeys obeyed it.


    With another moonde, Fang Yuan took a few more monkey lives. Those that gathered around their


    new king instantly dispersed.


    The new stone monkey king gnawed its teeth at Fang Yuan.


    “Scram.” Fang Yuan stared at it, saying a word, with his expression cold as ice.


    The monkey king shuddered, feeling the intense killing intent from Fang Yuan. It stared at Fang Yuan


    nkly before gulping and turning around to escape, showing its superior intelligencepared to wild


    beasts.


    Fang Yuan chased these stone monkeys away and ignored them, getting to the bottom of the rock


    pir as soon as he could.


    As he got close, he found a cave below the rock pir.


    The cave was not big, and some rock stairs extended downwards into the darkness.


    Fang Yuan had no investigative Gu worm, so he could not tell what was down there.


    With the situation unclear, Fang Yuan did not enter the cavern and walk down the stairs. He had


    barged his way in earlier, and his body condition was not at its prime. Furthermore, the chaos in the


    rock forest was disappearing and was stabilizing.


    He had spent much effort and time to open the path, but many stone monkeys were starting to reside in


    the pirs along the way.


    “Haste brings no sess. Now that I have found the inheritance clue, I have achieved my goal. It is


    time to return.” Fang Yuan controlled the urge to investigate, and returned via the same route.


    On the way, the pressure intensified but eventually, he endured the pressure as he was chased by


    hundreds of monkeys, tragically rushing out of the rock forest.


    TIme passed quickly, and summer reced spring.


    Unknowingly it was the scorching summer again already.


    Fang Yuan spent every second of his time cultivating diligently. Using the red steel Relic Gu, he


    instantly caught up to Fang Zheng’s cultivating speed.


    He did not have a special Gu that could hide his middle stage aura. After killing the monkey king and


    obtaining the Stealth Rock Gu, a dayter, his cultivation level was exposed.


    The nsmen only knew then that he was the one who obtained the red steel Relic Gu; it was actually


    Fang Yuan!


    At the same time, he intentionally revealed the ck Boar Gu.


    Fang Yuan sold such a huge amount of assets to get the ck Boar Gu and red steel Relic Gu. Many


    people could not understand his thoughts, calling him a ‘fool’, ‘dumbass’, ‘maniac’ and ‘short-sighted’,


    as they became his new nicknames.


    With a rise in attention, Fang Yuan had to reduce the number of times he ventured into the Flower


    Wine Monk’s inheritance.


    He continued to nurture his aperture as he steadily moved towards Rank two upper stage, while


    collecting the ingredients to fuse the Liquor worm as well as the Stealth Rock Gu. At the same time, he


    used the vitality leaf to earn primeval stones, sustaining his cultivation.


    July, the start of autumn.


    At the foot of the mountain near the vige, a wild Rank five Gu suddenly appeared, causing a huge


    tremor at Gu Yue Vige!
