Watching Jun Moxiao once again use his miraculous Dragon God Body Technique to escape danger, Lei Qinian couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat.

After the Xuanyang Sect Disciples' attack missed, they fell from the sky one by one, their faces sullen as they stared at the figure above the thousand-year-old cassia tree.

"Kill him," a gloomy-faced youth said.

Soon, over seventy people rushed towards the Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree.

The Monkey Leader, at the Seventh Level of Nirvana Realm, suddenly lifted his stick, leaped up, and swung out a flurry of stick shadows. The remaining three hundred-plus monkeys also attacked at the same time. An ocean-like wave of stick shadows whistled towards them.

BOOM…

The sword light collided with the stick shadows, creating a series of thunderous crashes.

All seventy-plus Xuanyang Sect Disciples were blocked. They fell from the sky, their faces sullen and expressions embarrassed. They hadn't expected these monkeys to actually stop them.

SQUEAK!

The Monkey Leader constantly drummed the ground with his club, making threatening noises.

"We better not try to pass. That kid offered them a large amount of elixirs, and now these monkeys won't let us through," a red-clothed youth said, his face stern as he recognized the unfavorable situation.

"Senior Brother, why don't we offer even more elixirs? Then we can rush through and kill that kid," a short, chubby youth said.

"Are you stupid? Can't we just wait for him to come out here?" The red-clothed youth glared at the chubby youth.

The chubby youth finally understood and nodded repeatedly. "Senior Brother is right."

While the two were talking, Lei Qinian had quietly moved to the center of the more than one hundred monkeys. He was also afraid that these Xuanyang Sect Disciples might suddenly attack him violently, so he found a safe place. Even if the Xuanyang Sect Disciples wanted to attack him, they would have to get past these monkeys. And since he had hired these monkeys, they definitely wouldn't let him die for nothing.

The red-clothed youth's gaze suddenly shifted to Lei Qinian. "This kid is with that guy! We'll kill him first to avenge our martial brothers!" the red-clothed youth said coldly.

As his words fell, a team of nearly eighty men, like a crimson cloud, swiftly flew over.

Seeing this, the Monkey Leader lifted his stick. The other monkeys also adopted a defensive posture, as if facing a formidable enemy. These monkeys weren't stupid; seeing the large number of opponents, they knew this would be a tough battle.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Lei Qinian hastily summoned the Heavenly Treasures Cover, holding it above his head. Streams of golden radiance descended, enveloping and protecting him.

Although this treasure had been restored to its original Emperor Level Top Grade by that senior, Lei Qinian still didn't know the true prowess of the Heavenly Treasures Cover. After all, so much time had passed that he, a junior, had long forgotten the true might of this ancestral treasure.

While Jun Moxiao was picking the golden Laurel fruits and observing the commotion, he noticed that the Xuanyang Sect Disciples had surrounded Lei Qinian. A sense of foreboding immediately struck him. He quickly picked all the fruits, about twenty-six in total, transformed into a Divine Dragon Phantom, and swiftly returned to Lei Qinian's side.

"Brother Jun, don't act rashly. There are too many of them. This Heavenly Treasures Cover in my hand has been repaired by that senior. I think it will be very difficult for them to break through," Lei Qinian said in a low voice.

Jun Moxiao nodded, scanning his surroundings, yet there was no trace of fear in his eyes. In this battle, although the Xuanyang Sect had superior numbers, with the help of more than one hundred monkeys, they weren't entirely without the ability to resist.

"Kill that kid, and the Tianyue Osmanthus Fruit will be ours!" The red-clothed youth leading the Xuanyang Sect raised his sword and shouted. Instantly, all the Xuanyang Sect Disciples launched a tidal wave of attacks.

To kill those two Loose Cultivators, they naturally first had to break through the defenses set up by the monkeys.

The Monkey Leader roared in fury, wielding his club as he charged forward. The other monkeys also swiftly joined the fray. In an instant, the Xuanyang Sect Disciples and the monkeys were engaged in battle.

Sword in hand, Jun Moxiao's eyelids narrowed slightly. He was searching for an opportunity. The moment one arose, he was prepared to strike.

The group of monkeys Jun Moxiao had hired numbered just over one hundred and thirty. Although this was a considerable number, almost double that of the Xuanyang Sect Disciples, in terms of actual combat strength, they were still slightly inferior to the Xuanyang Sect Disciples.

The battle lasted only for the span of a few breaths. Some monkeys couldn't hold on and were sent flying by the Xuanyang Sect Disciples.

Perhaps their True Fire had been ignited, for the Xuanyang Sect Disciples struck ruthlessly. The injured monkeys were covered in bloody gashes from the swords, but thankfully, none had died.

Seeing his Clan Members suffering injuries, the Monkey Leader's roars grew fiercer, and his attacks more vicious. However, the red-robed youth opposing him was also at the Sixth Level of Nirvana Realm. The two were evenly matched, and for a time, their fight was a stalemate.

"Brother Lei, I'll go deal with that guy." With a formidable foe before him, a crimson glint flashed in Jun Moxiao's eyes. At that moment, his vital energy surged, and a faint, eerie blood-red light emanated from his body.

Jun Moxiao activated the second level of the Reverse Dragon Technique. Instantly, his combat power skyrocketed tenfold.

He transformed into a Divine Dragon Phantom, abruptly vanishing from beneath the golden light of the Heavenly Treasures Cover. The next moment, a beam of sword light descended as if from beyond the heavens, rushing straight towards the red-robed youth.

Startled by the sudden sword attack, the red-robed youth flicked his left hand, sending a golden bead flying out.

BANG!

The sword light struck the golden bead, sending it flying.

The red-robed youth was greatly shocked. How can this sword strike be so powerful? My bead is a Heavenly Top-Grade Attack Magical Treasure, yet it was sent flying in an instant! He couldn't help but feel a pang of distress, wondering if the bead had cracked.

Although Jun Moxiao had sent the golden bead flying, his momentum caused him to pause in mid-air for a moment.

"Die!" Jun Moxiao roared, charging forward with his sword once more.

He possessed the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, granting him immense strength. Combined with the Emperor Level Divine Sword in his hand and the tenfold power boost from the Reverse Dragon Technique, sending a Heaven Level magical treasure flying was a simple matter for him.

BANG!

The red-robed youth dared not be careless and raised his sword to meet the attack. Their swords clashed in mid-air with a deafening sound.

The red-robed youth felt an excruciating pain shoot through the webbing of his hand. Looking down, he saw a bloody gash had been torn open there. How can this kid have so much strength? he thought, staring at Jun Moxiao—who was only at the First Level of Nirvana Realm—with a look of utter shock.

Just then, a black club came whistling through the air, smashing down abruptly from above. The Monkey Leader's attack had arrived.

The red-robed youth swiftly dodged and lunged at Jun Moxiao once more. He wasn't worried about the monkeys, as they rarely killed Human Cultivators. The truly deadly threat, he thought, comes from this incredibly strong youth before me.
