King of Creation-Chapter 740 - 730: Better to Be a Ghost than a Dog
Chapter 740: Chapter 730: Better to Be a Ghost than a Dog
"Ye Zhen, you... you..."
Yangh Yiguan looked at Ye Zhen with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, then glanced at his own chest and abdomen, his face full of astonishment. Because just a moment ago, he felt as though Ye Zhen had darted out right from his embrace.
Could it be that Ye Zhen had been hiding a more terrifying Divine Power Secret Technique in his bosom all along?
Mainly, Ye Zhen’s moves were too sudden, too fast. He seized the opportunity to directly emerge from underground, leaping like a fish from within Yangh Yiguan’s embrace, and in passing, snatched the golden Jade Talisman right from Yangh Yiguan’s hand!
"Elder Yangh, did I hear you correctly that you want to kill us?" Ye Zhen chuckled lightly as he toyed with the golden Jade Talisman in his hand.
"Young Hero Ye, you heard correctly. However, I aim to kill these two remnants of the Demon Race, not our fellow Human Warriors. How can we turn on each other?"
As he spoke, Yangh Yiguan stared intently at the golden Jade Talisman in Ye Zhen’s hand, and suddenly, a wave of Divine Sense surged fiercely towards the golden Jade Talisman.
Almost at the same time, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, who had just quieted down, let out a ferocious roar, its arms explosively elongating to seize Ye Zhen.
Yangh Yiguan was actually trying to remotely influence the golden Jade Talisman with Divine Sense in an attempt to prompt the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King to kill Ye Zhen and take back the golden Jade Talisman that controlled the Long-Armed Fire Monkey.
However, Ye Zhen’s reaction was incredibly swift. Almost the instant he sensed the Divine Sense flowing into the golden Jade Talisman, his own Divine Sense stirred, and he tossed the golden Jade Talisman straight into his storage ring!
The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s palm, as large as a millstone, came to a halt just one meter above Ye Zhen’s head!
With the aura of the golden Jade Talisman cut off, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King seemed to come back to its senses, the brutal look in its eyes slowly clearing as an extremely terrifying aura began to rise from its body.
Yangh Yiguan’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he looked at Ye Zhen with pleading eyes, "Young Hero Ye, quick, return the golden Jade Talisman to me, or we both will die!"
"Truly! I’m not deceiving you! Return the golden Jade Talisman to me, and I swear on my Divine Soul that I’ll pledge to become the Vice Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect, second only to one and above tens of thousands. Really, hurry, give it back to me. Hurry... the monkey is about to go berserk, be quick..."
Bang!
A loud noise erupted, and a large furry palm smacked Yangh Yiguan, sending him flying backwards, spewing blood and scattering teeth in his wake!
"Monkey thrall, after more than a hundred years, it’s the first time I’ve been called that. It’s really... exceptionally revolting!"
Bang!
Amidst the roaring of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, Yangh Yiguan’s body was battered back and forth like a ball, his blood spewing in mouthfuls, yet despite the violence, not a bone in his body seemed to break. However, his screams were incessant!
Having been battered around like a ball, Yangh Yiguan finally seized an opportunity to turn and flee. He had not gone a hundred meters when the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s massive hand promptly grabbed him from behind, reeling him back in for another furious beating!
"Don’t worry, Your Majesty certainly won’t kill you! I’ve heard that the Beast Taming Sect has only you left. If I killed you, where would I vent my anger?
Rest assured, you will definitely live well. Every day Your Majesty will thoroughly thrash you one hundred times. If I don’t get my hundred years of anger out on you, that ill feeling will never dissipate!"
The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s tone was chilling to the bone, but Yangh Yiguan was so terrified that he trembled all over, his face ashen, in a state worse than death.
"Qing Tong offers his congratulations to the Monkey King for your escape from bondage!" the voice of Hu Qingtong suddenly rang out, and joining in the salute was Lan Shuiqiao, who had just reverted to human form.
However, the condition of the Hundred Poisons Master, Lan Shuiqiao, was quite awful, his flesh from the knees down almost entirely stripped to the bone. Without the support of Spiritual Power, he couldn’t even stand steady!
Speaking of which, Hu Qingtong presented a massive scale armor, identical to the one Ye Zhen had seen on the walls of the Devil God Palace.
Upon seeing this piece of scale armor, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King was noticeably taken aback, "Is that old geezer still watching, did he send you to rescue me?"
"Your Majesty Monkey King, the ancestor wasn’t certain of your situation, so we took the opportunity to come and investigate, and should we find you, to rescue you immediately!
Our abilities are limited, and indeed we are not a match for you, Your Majesty. Fortunately, with the help of Young Hero Ye, you were truly able to break free!" Hu Qingtong explained.
Hearing this, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King shook his head, "True freedom, not yet! I have only temporarily freed myself. True freedom, that depends on this youngster!"
As he finished speaking, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s aura swelled immensely, and the menacing presence locked onto Ye Zhen in an instant.
Everyone could sense that if Ye Zhen dared any movement, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King would shred him to pieces!
Witnessing this, a flicker of worry crossed Hu Qingtong’s beautiful eyes.
The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King barked at Ye Zhen, "Boy, hand over that Soul-Control Gold Talisman! Don’t tell me you plan on using it to control me, to enslave me?"
"How could I?" Amid the oppressive force of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, Ye Zhen laughed lightly, seemingly unfazed by the threat.
"Then why haven’t you handed over the Soul-Control Gold Talisman? Or perhaps, you want me to tear you to shreds and find the Soul-Control Gold Talisman in your corpse?" The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s expression turned increasingly ferocious.
Ye Zhen couldn’t help but let out a wry smile, "Since the Monkey King is so confident, why not take action?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Qingtong and Lan Shuiqiao both showed faces of astonishment.
Indeed, why would the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, given his fiery temperament, be engaging in so much idle talk? Normally, he would have already killed Ye Zhen and taken back the Soul-Control Gold Talisman.
The gaze of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King moved down to focus on the Black Jade Talisman that Ye Zhen was tightly gripping in his left hand, his expression changed, and he burst into loud laughter.
"I didn’t expect it, you kid actually have some abilities, to have found the Black Jade Divine Talisman that restrains this king! Not bad, truly not bad!
Kid, our previous agreement still stands, from this moment on, you and I are brothers, brothers who will live and die together!" Saying this, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King walked towards Ye Zhen, intending to pat his shoulder!
However, Ye Zhen gestured him to wait and a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Monkey King, I thought you would be a true bold and heroic figure, but it turns out, your actions are so despicable!"
"If I wasn’t holding this Black Jade Divine Talisman in my hand, wouldn’t you have already torn me to pieces and taken back the Soul-Control Gold Talisman? If you think about it, am I not your lifesaver?" Ye Zhen sneered.
In this Black Jade Divine Talisman was a strand of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s Innate Divine Soul. With just a light squeeze from Ye Zhen, crushing the Black Jade Divine Talisman, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King would immediately be soul-scattered and meet his untimely death!
Unexpectedly, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King didn’t fly into a rage but instead sighed deeply, as if reminiscing or recounting in a murmuring tone.
"A thousand years ago, when this king roamed the world, who wouldn’t give me a thumbs up, who wouldn’t praise my majestic aura that reached the skies, acknowledging me as a peerless hero, even knowing that I was from the Demon Race!
But what use is a peerless hero when treated like a dog and locked up for seven to eight hundred years!
For a full seven to eight hundred years, this king was confined like a dog in this place, and with just a flick of the Soul-Control Gold Talisman, I had to bark like a dog!
After seven hundred years of such torment, the heroic spirit of any peerless hero would be worn away completely!
To gain freedom, one can resort to any means, be despicable and shameless, even betray their own heart!
For seven hundred years, day and night, this king has been reciting this phrase, do you understand what that feels like?
Seven hundred years of living like a dog...
This king doesn’t want to live another day like that!"
With that said, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King let out another long sigh to the heavens, and tears of murkiness streamed down from his huge eyes. Amid his sighs, the chains tied to the spine on his back clinked, the scene was exceptionally desolate....
In an instant, Ye Zhen suddenly seemed to understand why the Beast Taming Sect was doomed to destruction.
With what the Beast Taming Sect was doing, if this situation continued, even if they didn’t perish a hundred years ago, their downfall would still be inevitable sooner or later!
Suddenly, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s eyes bulged, and killing Qi once again closed in on Ye Zhen, "Kid, you’re right, you are this king’s savior, but if you think you can control me again, you’re dreaming!
This time, this king would rather die than live like a dog!"
Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly brightened, "Rather die than live like a dog! Good, what a great spirit, worthy of the once peerless Monkey King who rampaged across the world!
"Monkey King, you are free now!" freёnovelkiss.com
As he spoke, Ye Zhen threw both the newly acquired Black Jade Divine Talisman and the Soul-Control Gold Talisman toward the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.
"You?"
Witnessing this scene, not only were Hu Qingtong and Lan Shuiqiao stunned, but even the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King himself was taken aback, staring at the two Divine Talismans in his hands, almost disbelieving what was happening right before his eyes.
No one expected that Ye Zhen would so easily hand over the Black Jade Divine Talisman and the Soul-Control Gold Talisman to the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.
Yangh Yiguan, who was barely alive at the side, was also wide-eyed in disbelief, unable to comprehend how Ye Zhen could so easily surrender the two Divine Talismans that could control the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.
With the two Divine Talismans in hand, even if Ye Zhen couldn’t activate the Magic Formula of the Gold Talisman, he could have suppressed the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King thoroughly, so how could he give them up so easily?
"Good, good, good! Interesting, you really are an interesting young fellow! No, brother, from today on, you are my brother, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s brother! I accept you as my brother!" the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King rejoiced upon regaining his composure!
"Uh, right, brother, what’s your name? I still don’t know your name," the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King asked!
Ye Zhen didn’t know how to describe his feelings at the moment. To become brothers without even knowing each other’s names, what worth did such brotherhood hold?
"Monkey King, his surname is Ye and his name is Zhen!" Hu Qingtong added.
"Ye Zhen, a good name, Brother Ye, hmm, not bad!" Overjoyed, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King casually waved his hand and pointed to the pile of shimmering Sealing Formations behind him, saying, "Brother, take whatever you want. All the treasures within this Sealing Formation belong to you now!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.
