The Legend of the Netherworld

Chapter 162 Monkey Relics

Lin Xiao engaged in a fierce fight with the Shadow Monkey King's clone. His moves were unpredictable and the battle was like a storm.

Every move and every style was filled with murderous intent and threats, like an endless collision between heaven and earth, causing the surrounding rocks to shake violently and waves of air to rise into the sky.

Lin Xiao sighed inwardly, the Shadow Monkey King had obviously reached the peak of the Demon Pill realm.

If it weren't for the monkey's strong body and invincible defense, it would have been defeated by him long ago.

Although each attack of the Shadow Monkey King was extremely sharp, Lin Xiao could only respond with all his strength, maintaining a weak balance and struggling to maintain his body shape.

The battle gradually entered a white-hot stage. The cooperation between Lin Xiao and the Shadow Monkey King's clone became more and more tacit. Lin Xiao kept retreating, and every step seemed to be under tremendous pressure. Gradually, his body began to show signs of breaking, and his fighting spirit was suddenly challenged to the limit.

Suddenly, the Shadow Monkey King turned the mace in his hand, changing from a stabbing to a scooping motion. The long stick drew a sharp arc in the air and chopped directly towards Lin Xiao's sword.

Lin Xiao had no time to react as the sword in his hand was knocked away. He was stunned, and panic suddenly surged in his heart. Instinctively, he crossed his arms in front of him, trying to block the next attack.

"Die!" The Shadow Monkey King growled, exerted his strength suddenly, and vigorously mobilized the power of his feet, kicking out a "roundhouse kick" in an instant.

This kick was not an ordinary kick, but a kick with the force of thunder, aimed at Lin Xiao's forehead.

Lin Xiao watched helplessly as the enormous foot flew towards him, knowing that if he couldn't avoid it this time, he would be seriously injured. He crossed his arms and bravely met the giant foot.

"boom!"

Lin Xiao's body was kicked away, and the powerful impact force slammed him against the rock wall. The cliff shook violently, rocks collapsed, and dust flew.

The heavy stone hit Lin Xiao on the head. He felt dizzy, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

As Lin Xiao fell, the forces he summoned, Lin Xiao and the Shadow Monkey King's clones were also shattered by the Shadow Monkey King's mace and turned into ashes.

In the dust around him, the Shadow Monkey King glanced coldly and saw Lin Xiao's sword fall to the ground. He sneered in his heart, and swung the mace in his hand violently. The long stick instantly became longer and smashed the sword into pieces.

"When that dirty Taoist priest used this sword, it already annoyed me so much. I didn't expect that today, your apprentice would still use this broken sword. It's really disgusting." The Shadow Monkey King's tone was full of contempt.

Lin Xiao's eyes burned with anger as he looked at the broken sword - the only relic that the dirty Taoist priest had ever used.

An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, and he could not bear to see this item that was so closely related to his master being destroyed so easily.

As if a god of war had awakened, Lin Xiao's body rose from the dust, his aura becoming heavy and dead.

At this moment, he was no longer the young man seeking defense, but a murderous god of death, his eyes full of determination for revenge.

The Shadow Monkey King also felt the strong breath of death coming from Lin Xiao, and then drove the Power Shadow Monkey King and Power Lin Xiao he had just summoned into the dust. The two clones brandished swords and clubs and pounced on Lin Xiao like beasts.

However, Lin Xiao did not react at all. He allowed the sword and the stick to hit him.

The moment the weapons touched the flesh, the clones' swords and clubs were actually bounced back, as if they had hit an indestructible iron wall.

This made the faces of the Shadow Monkey King and Lin Xiao stunned for a moment. They did not expect that Lin Xiao's physical strength could be so strong.

Lin Xiao sneered, stretched out his hands suddenly, grabbed the necks of the two clones, and pulled hard, crushing their neck bones in an instant. The bodies of the two clones turned into ashes in an instant and dissipated in the air.

"You two, how dare you act so wildly in front of me." Lin Xiao's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent.

After dealing with the two clones, Lin Xiao walked out of the dust step by step, his eyes as sharp as a knife, fixed on the Shadow Monkey King.

Faced with this scene, the Shadow Monkey King did not show any panic, but smiled contemptuously, tightly grasped the mace in his right hand, and waved his left hand. A huge tiger claw emerged, showing its power to Lin Xiao.

This tiger claw is a legendary divine weapon borrowed from the Thunder Tiger King. It has the terrifying power to scratch the flesh of a Jiawu Realm cultivator. The Shadow Monkey King is full of confidence in it and believes that it is enough to deal with Lin Xiao in front of him.

The Shadow Monkey King had witnessed Lin Xiao's battle with the outer demon king, and had long been aware of Lin Xiao's powerful and invincible body. Today, he decided to use this tiger claw to completely defeat Lin Xiao and destroy his invincible body.

Lin Xiao looked at the Shadow Monkey King coldly. He did not feel threatened at all by the weapon in the Shadow Monkey King's hand.

Then, he displayed the "Dragon Swimming Across the Seas" technique, his body moving like a dragon's shadow, and suddenly swung out a "Dragon Shadow Fist", the punch was as powerful as a dragon emerging from the sea.

The Shadow Monkey King seemed fearless as he waved his tiger claws to meet Lin Xiao's dragon fist, obviously wanting to resist it head-on.

The moment the two powers intertwined, the Shadow Monkey King's tiger claws were as fragile as thin paper. The moment of attack, the tiger claws immediately shattered and turned into countless fragments that scattered everywhere.

"What!" The Shadow Monkey King's face suddenly turned pale, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect that his tiger claws were so vulnerable.

Then, Lin Xiao did not hesitate and punched the Shadow Monkey King several meters away. The Shadow Monkey King staggered backward, looking extremely embarrassed.

But Lin Xiao did not give him a chance to breathe. He immediately used the "Phantom Body Technique" and instantly came behind the Shadow Monkey King. Without giving the other party any time to react, he continued to swing his fist and smashed it hard at the Shadow Monkey King's head.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Lin Xiao's fist hit the Shadow Monkey King's head hard. The Shadow Monkey King instantly felt dizzy and his mind went blank.

However, Lin Xiao did not stop. He was furious and continued to punch the Shadow Monkey King again and again. Each punch was filled with fierce power, as if to vent his inner anger.

The deafening roar of punches hitting flesh echoed around. The Shadow Monkey King's armor shattered, his face turned purple, and his bones were broken. He almost became a living dead.

Finally, Lin Xiao suddenly unleashed a "whirlwind kick", with the force of his foot carrying a strong wind force, and quickly kicked towards the Shadow Monkey King.

"Swish!" Lin Xiao kicked straight at the abdomen of the Shadow Monkey King. The huge force kicked the Shadow Monkey King away and hit the plaque of Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley heavily.

"Boom!" The subsequent loud noise shook the entire world. The plaque and the Shadow Monkey King collapsed almost at the same time, stirring up a cloud of thick dust.

Lin Xiao stood there, quietly feeling the rising dust, but he knew in his heart that the Shadow Monkey King had not been defeated. A demon king like him would definitely have a backup plan. After all, demon kings always have a trump card to return to their true form.

"Hahaha, good fight!" The Shadow Monkey King's disdainful laughter came from the dust, and then the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly gathered and continuously poured into the Shadow Monkey King's body.

Lin Xiao watched as the opponent's injuries healed in an instant, with bones making a "cracking" sound. Just as expected, the Shadow Monkey King's recovery speed was astonishing, and his wounds healed as if by magic.

"As expected!" Lin Xiao's eyes were cold, his heart calm. He had long guessed that this area wasn't enough for the Demon King to break through to the second level of Demon Core, but today's fierce battle had awakened a trace of the Demon Ancestor's bloodline within the Shadow Monkey King, propelling it to break through.

"Great!" The Shadow Monkey King growled and laughed arrogantly, his voice full of pride and confidence.

After a moment, the Shadow Monkey King's body shape changed. Its body became extremely huge, like a giant chimpanzee, its muscles were as hard as diamond, its aura became more powerful, and it had already broken through to the second level of Demon Pill.

"Boom!" The huge body of the Shadow Monkey King fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. The ground seemed to be shaking with its arrival.

Lin Xiao looked at the Shadow Monkey King who had become even more powerful, and his heart remained unshaken.

He knew that his current physical strength was enough to contend with any opponent. Without hesitation, he unleashed his agility and swiftly unleashed his "Dragon Shadow Fist," charging straight at the chimpanzee-like Shadow Monkey King.

Seeing this, the Shadow Monkey King showed no sign of weakness. He swung his huge fist and smashed towards Lin Xiao head-on with unstoppable force.

"Bang!" The two powerful forces collided with each other, and the deafening sound echoed in all directions. Both sides were repelled and staggered back a few steps.

Lin Xiao knew that a simple fight would not be enough to easily defeat the opponent. He had to make use of his physical advantage and fight in close combat.

After stabilizing his body, he once again exerted all his strength, performed the "Phantom Body Technique", and instantly appeared behind the Shadow Monkey King, punching him down mercilessly.

However, the Shadow Monkey King reacted extremely quickly. He quickly turned sideways and cleverly avoided Lin Xiao's fist. Then he swung his fist back and hit Lin Xiao hard.

Lin Xiao did not give in and punched him again.

"Bang!" The two forces collided again, their fists hitting each other's faces almost simultaneously, the powerful force sending both of them flying again. Dust rose up, and the battle became more intense.

This was a matchup without defense, only endless offense.

Fists and kicks bombarded each other's bodies, each blow packed with destructive force. Neither warrior was willing to retreat, engaging in a fist-to-flesh, life-and-death struggle.

As Lin Xiao possessed a Jiachen realm body, the attacks he endured during his duel with the Shadow Monkey King could hardly cause any substantial harm to him.

Every time he was knocked away, he didn't feel any pain at all, as if it was just a weak push.

The Shadow Monkey King's condition was getting worse. His body was covered with fist and leg marks left by Lin Xiao. Although his bones had undergone atavism and become extremely strong, under Lin Xiao's close bombardment, the Shadow Monkey King's bones had already been broken in more than one place.

As the battle continued, the Shadow Monkey King's body became weaker and weaker, his injuries worsened, and his speed dropped significantly.

Lin Xiao seemed to be injected with some kind of crazy power. He became braver and braver as the battle went on, and his punches became more and more powerful, as if he would never get tired.

At first, the Shadow Monkey King could still feel something was wrong at some moments, but the intense battle had made both sides forget these details. All their attention was focused on attacking each other, simply wanting to knock the other down.

When the Shadow Monkey King threw his last punch, he could no longer control his body. His bones were completely broken, and he was filled with powerlessness. Finally, he fell heavily to the ground.

Lin Xiao was completely exhausted, but the rage for revenge still drove him to continue. He sat on the fallen Shadow Monkey King and swung his fist fiercely at his head.

Every punch was filled with extremely intense hatred and anger, blood splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

As the afterglow of the setting sun spread over every inch of the ancient forest, the outside of Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley was filled with shouts of "Beat you to death! Beat you to death!" and the dull sound of fists hitting flesh.

The Shadow Monkey King's head had been shattered beyond recognition by countless punches, a tangled mess of flesh and blood mixed with broken bones. The scene was horrific. As the Shadow Monkey King's last breath faded, its body instantly returned from its diamond form to its original form. It then transformed into a streak of white light, revealing a monkey relic that floated before Lin Xiao.

At this moment, Lin Xiao was covered in blood, his eyes obscured by the blood, but he was completely unaware of the Shadow Monkey King's changes. He still mechanically threw the last punch.

Until he finally exhausted all his punches, he could no longer lift his arms. His vision went black, and he fell heavily to the ground, muttering, "I'll kill you... I'll kill you..."

.......

At the same time, at the gate of the core area of ​​the ancient forest, Gongsun Minghui and Lin Qing were fighting fiercely with the cobalt guards of the Jiayin Fifth Realm.

They had previously evacuated all the disciples of Feng Shui Academy to Tianci Cave, and then rushed to support Lin Xiao.

However, in the distant Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley, the death of the Shadow Monkey King shocked the surrounding monsters. The Thunder Tiger King sensed this change from a distance, and suddenly realized something, with a sneer on his face.

"From now on, I will be the one who has the final say in the Ancient Forest." The Thunder Tiger King roared in the air, and his voice shook all around.

Then, he flew quickly towards Wangyou Valley, intending to take advantage of the life-and-death battle that Lin Xiao had just experienced to destroy him together, and at the same time snatch the treasure left by the Shadow Monkey King after his death.

As the breath of the Thunder Tiger King spread, the monsters around Wangyou Valley seemed to feel the declaration of sovereignty, and no monster dared to approach the battle area.

With a loud bang, the Thunder Tiger King landed heavily in front of the Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley, his eyes fixed on Lin Xiao who had fallen to the ground in the distance and the monkey relic floating above his head.

It was overjoyed, revealing a smug smile. It walked towards Lin Xiao expectantly, saying with a smile, "How could I possibly lend my real tiger claws to a demon monkey like you? I remember vividly how you treated Haotian Tianniu."

However, just as he took a step forward, a strong Dingmao Level 2 aura suddenly came from afar, instantly covering the Tiger King's original aura.
