Chapter 1339 - 1334: Three Spirit Breath Sky Array
The field quieted down, and a barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of Lin Chuan's mouth. Nearby, Mu Qiu and the others looked at Lin Chuan with grave expressions.
"I didn't expect there to be a cultivator like you among humans." At this moment, the leading Spiritual Monkey flashed and appeared fifty feet in front of Lin Chuan.
"People must progress, right? Step aside; you can't stop us. We won't destroy anything here nor speak of it to the outside world! We only want... the Nine Revolutions Thousand Spirit Fruit!" Lin Chuan spoke calmly to the leading Spiritual Monkey. His previous strike had already made him understand the Monkey's strength. Therefore, he felt quite assured, but also a bit worried.
"The Holy Fruit belongs to our master; anyone who covets it shall die! Form the array!" At this, the leading Spiritual Monkey shouted at Lin Chuan. Then, forming a triangular formation, he and two other Spiritual Monkeys surrounded Lin Chuan and the others.
"Three Spirit Breath Sky Array! Activate!!" Earlier, the other two Spiritual Monkeys had been scattered around Lin Chuan and his companions. So, almost instantly, the three Spiritual Monkeys arranged themselves into a formation resembling a triangle.
Without making a move, Lin Chuan and his group observed quietly, as acting now might bring unnecessary trouble.
Green lights burst from the three Spiritual Monkeys, as vines with intricate runes appeared on their bodies. As the Monkeys murmured, mysterious green patterns fluctuated outward.
The released green brilliance shot out, linking with each other, transforming into a green barrier that encircled Lin Chuan and his companions.
"Three Spirit Breath... same breath, same spirit... transform spirit!" The leading Spiritual Monkey's voice came through. They were beasts, able to speak only after awakening Spiritual Wisdom.
Their voices were piercing, like a blade carving into steel. With those words, the leading Spiritual Monkey struck his forehead with his palm, releasing a green phantom.
The other two Spiritual Monkeys did the same, and three green phantoms flashed within the light array. As Lin Chuan and his companions stood in the array of green phantoms, they watched the scene unfold, their expressions growing serious. "Spirit transformation and fusion!" A voice echoed from the light array, the three phantoms leaping simultaneously to the top center of the array and melding together!
"Chirp..." As the green phantoms merged, a massive figure condensed, sharp cries emanating from its mouth. Boom! Within the green phantom array, the atmosphere turned chilling, pressing heavily on Lin Chuan and his comrades.
"Humans, you disturb this sacred land, offend our master, and covet the Holy Fruit! You must die!" A roar came from the phantom's mouth. Lin Chuan and his group, upon seeing the sight, involuntarily inhaled sharply. For the phantom was the previous Spiritual Monkey, now several times larger and its form turned ethereal.
More importantly, the phantom had three heads, evidently a fusion of the three Spiritual Monkeys.
"Roar!" The phantom Spiritual Monkey let out a piercing screech and charged fiercely at Lin Chuan and his group.
"Brother Lin, what do we do?" Murong Xue's expression was extremely solemn, as were Mu Qiu and Luo Feng's. Though the phantom was the fusion of the three Spiritual Monkeys, they felt its combat power was at least nine times stronger!
Mu Qiu and Luo Feng's faces changed in color. Meanwhile, they pinned their hopes on Lin Chuan, as he was the strongest there.
"Everyone, at this juncture, there is no turning back! The phantom relies on the array. To escape, we must shatter it! The key to breaking the array lies with that phantom. So, no matter what, we must slay this phantom monkey!" Lin Chuan stared at the phantom monkey ahead, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
"Indeed, whether we advance or retreat, we must kill this phantom monkey!" Mu Qiu brandished his longsword with a resolute aura!
"Everyone, give it your all!" Lin Chuan called out softly, swinging the Sky-reaching Halberd in his hand, sending a silver-white blade of light toward the phantom monkey.
"Sizzle..." The silver light struck the phantom monkey, issuing a sizzle sound before shattering and dispersing.
"This..." Mu Qiu and the others exclaimed in surprise, while Lin Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he charged forward!
"Ignorant humans, die!" The phantom monkey shouted, its arms like hammers striking heavily at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan let out a cold snort, leaping to evade the phantom monkey's attack range as its arms approached.
"Boom!" As his body leapt up, a rush of green light surged below, sending a powerful wave up. Lin Chuan sighed inwardly and swung the Sky-reaching Halberd down fiercely at the phantom monkey.
Brilliant silver light burst from the weapon, enveloping Lin Chuan in its radiance. Sharp silver-white beams shot from the Sky-reaching Halberd, piercing the phantom monkey's body in an instant.
"Eek!" This time, the silver light did not immediately vanish, and the phantom monkey let out a shrill wail, retreating violently. Lin Chuan's lips curled into a cruel smile as he channeled True Qi and thrust his treasured spear forward.
"Sky-reaching Halberd, break!" Lin Chuan softly shouted, his figure following suit. "Whoosh!" A sharp sound echoed within the array, the silver light charging like thunder, forming a light dragon that charged toward the phantom monkey.
The phantom monkey's eyes flashed with dread, its arms transforming into six! Three heads and six arms!
"Sky Breath!" A howl resounded from the phantom monkey's three heads as eerie green light emanated, activating the array outside! Green pillars soared from the array, gathering above before pounding toward the silver light dragon.
"Boom boom..." Powerful force rampaged through the light array, and the loud noises were as incessant as thunder! In an instant, the silver dragon was surrounded, letting out a mournful roar!
"Boom boom boom..." As the figure of the glowing monkey moved, beams of green light scattered, and within the light array, huge pillars containing terrifying power poured down like rain!
"Ow..." Finally, under such terrifying pillars, the silver dragon could no longer hold and shattered.
"Ignorant and foolish humans, die! Breath of Heavenly Spirit Pillar, destroy!" The three-headed, six-armed glowing monkey roared, its figure swept through the array. As it waved its green lines, countless beams crashed toward Lin Chuan and the others.
For a moment, the scene was extremely spectacular.
"Everyone, show your true skills, this glowing monkey is somewhat insidious!" Lin Chuan's eyes became serious. After speaking, his figure expanded as he wielded the Sky-reaching Halberd to strike at the glowing monkey.
He didn't bother with those beams; as they approached, he slashed with the halberd, repelling them all.
The glowing monkey's figure moved within the light array, and Lin Chuan firmly grasped the Sky-reaching Halberd, slashing upwards! "Boom!" A silver light blade struck the glowing monkey.
Just then, a green light pillar fell behind Lin Chuan. His expression changed slightly, then he quickly dodged to the left. Right at that moment, with a loud boom, Lin Chuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his figure halted.
"Brother Lin!" Mu Qiu and Luo Feng cried out in alarm. Lin Chuan was their backbone, and if anything happened to him, not only could they fail to find the Nine Revolutions Thousand Spirit Fruit, but their chances of a safe return were uncertain!
"I'm fine. Everyone, attack the glowing monkey in a circle. Do not use pure force; use destructive moves." Lin Chuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said gravely.
"Right!" At this time, Mu Qiu and Luo Feng also charged toward the glowing monkey.
"Whoosh whoosh..." In the next moment, Murong Xue, Luo Feng, Mu Qiu, and Lin Chuan formed a square formation, surrounding the glowing monkey in the center. Simultaneously, they activated their magical tools, charging at the glowing monkey.
"Chirp chirp..." The glowing monkey screeched, the green light in front of it surged, forming even more ferocious beams above, which then poured down like a collapsing mountain.
"Die!" The glowing monkey roared.
Lin Chuan and his friends were startled but they did not panic.
"Silver Dragon Roar!" "Flame Beam!" "Limitless Sword Slash!" "Nine Heavens Nine Deaths!" Four fierce shouts echoed within the light array. In the next moment, four powerful forces exploded outward.
Silver, blue, purple, and brown colors intertwined in the light array.
Green beams violently collided with the four forces, spreading huge shock waves, and the light array wrapped in green light shattered instantly.
The powerful blast wave spread everywhere, leaving the forest in ruins. Shattered trees, debris, and foliage were swept away by the force.
After a long pause, the forest gradually quieted down, four figures landed on the ground, each in varying degrees of distress. In front of them, the glowing monkey's figure became much more translucent, as if it was about to disappear.
At this moment, a silver light flashed, and Lin Chuan thrust the Sky-reaching Halberd toward the glowing monkey.
"Chirp!" The glowing monkey screeched loudly, attempting to flee.
"Whoosh!" The speed of the silver light dashed forth like a flash, and the Sky-reaching Halberd pierced into the glowing monkey's body.
In an instant, the glowing monkey let out a scream, and its already translucent body showed signs of breaking.
Lin Chuan intensified the force in his hands, driving the Sky-reaching Halberd even deeper.
"Ow!" A roar of the silver dragon sounded.
"Ah!" The glowing monkey emitted a human-like scream, fleeing away.
Lin Chuan's face broke into a smile, but it quickly froze; just then, a miraculous green light band floated out of the forest, wrapping around the glowing monkey's breaking figure, softly blending in and disappearing instantly. That green light band came and went in just a moment, and it wasn't until it vanished that Lin Chuan and the others reacted.
