Chapter 296 Stalemate
Qin Ruyan knew very well that she was definitely no match for the Monkey King. Although the Monkey King was injured, he was completely enraged by her, and his strength was no worse than before. Seeing that the Monkey King was about to rush towards her again, Qin Ruyan defended herself again and screamed, "Deng Changting, Hou Jiangong, come and help me."
Among the people present, only Deng Changting and Hou Jiangong could help. The rest of them were only at the first or second level of Qi Refining, which was too far away from the third-level Monkey King. You couldn't even keep up with the Monkey King's speed, and you couldn't see his movements clearly. How could you help? Going up would only lead to death.
Deng Changting and Hou Jiangong didn't dare to neglect it, and rushed over to join Qin Ruyan. The three of them formed a tripod and fought with the Monkey King. One was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and two were at the third level of Qi Refining. Compared with the strength of the third-level Monkey King, they were still much worse, but they could only do so, because there were still three second-level demon monkeys on the scene, and the rest of the people didn't know if they could deal with them.
At the moment of life and death, and since they were all fellow disciples, they could not care about hiding their secrets. Hou Jiangong used the top-grade magic talisman with defensive functions that he had been reluctant to use, holding a pair of mother-and-child soul-separating hooks, and specifically attacked the vital parts of the Monkey King.
The robe on Deng Changting's body was a top-grade defensive magic weapon. Although it was not as good as Qin Ruyan's colorful silk umbrella, it was much more advanced than Qingyang's crocodile dragon armor. The whole body was tightly protected and could resist ordinary attacks. As long as he was not directly hit by the Monkey King, his life would not be in danger. Deng Changting's offensive magic weapon was a top-grade golden short spear, which could be used to control long-range attacks with divine thoughts and to hold in close combat, and was both offensive and defensive for a while.
Qin Ruyan consumed too much true energy to activate the magic talisman, but she was in a coma before and had been carried by the spotted deer, so she was still full of physical strength. In addition, she is the strongest among all the people. She has the top-grade defensive magic weapon, the colorful silk umbrella, and the purple cloud sword of the lower-grade spiritual weapon in her hand. Among the three people, she is the biggest threat to the Monkey King.
The attack power of the lower-grade spiritual weapon is extremely amazing. Even if the third-level monster has strong defense, it dare not face the sword directly. When it encounters the purple cloud sword, it has to hide. However, the lower-grade spiritual weapon is too laborious to use, and Qin Ruyan dare not attack easily. Both sides have no way to deal with each other for the time being.
However, they also know that this is only temporary. The strength of the Monkey King is much stronger than them. Once he gradually adapts to the rhythm of the battle, it is only a matter of time before he defeats the three of them.
On the other side, the remaining three demon monkeys are not idle. One of them directly pounced on Tian Shengcai, who is closest to him. Although Tian Shengcai is a cultivator of the second level of Qi Refining, he has already broken through to the Qi Refining stage before he entered the Qingfeng Palace. He has been in the mixed place of the big city of casual cultivators for a long time. Whether it is cultivation or combat experience, he is better than ordinary disciples.
Facing a second-level demon monkey alone, Tian Shengcai was not afraid at all. He used a half-moon sickle of the top-grade magic weapon level in his hand as if it were his arm, which could sweep, scoop, chop, cut, and smash. Occasionally, the sickle slipped out of his hand, and Tian Shengcai even dared to directly attack the demon monkey for one or two moves. At this time, the sickle's whirling attack could catch the demon beast off guard.
Overall, Tian Shengcai was slightly behind, but depending on the situation, he could still hold on temporarily. Tian Shengcai did not dare to ask others to come to help, because the remaining people were also busy. Not far from him, another demon monkey had already approached Cui Yu'an nearby.
Cui Yu'an could not compare with Tian Shengcai. Although he was not far from the second level of Qi Refining, his strength was much worse than Tian Shengcai. Cui Yu'an's cultivation level improved relatively quickly. He relied on his qualifications in the city of casual cultivators, and relied on resources after joining the immortal gate. He had not encountered too many setbacks, and lacked opportunities for training. He was completely different from Tian Shengcai, who grew up little by little from the bottom casual cultivators.
Therefore, it seemed that Tian Shengcai could not be defeated temporarily when dealing with a second-level demon monkey, but Cui Yu'an was struggling. Moreover, although they were both second-level demon monkeys, there was still a certain gap between them. Maybe the demon monkey he faced was stronger, and it didn't take long for him to be in danger and had to call for help. Deng Changzhu had no choice but to rush over and fight a demon monkey with Cui Yu'an.
There was still a second-level demon monkey left, but only Qingyang and Shijian were idle here, so they had to bite the bullet and go up. The second-level demon monkey was equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Even a cultivator of the second level of Qi Refining like Cui Yu'an could not deal with it, not to mention the two cultivators of the first level of Qi Refining. The demon monkey caught the two of them off guard with a few random punches.
Qingyang made up his mind and took out the Rambo Sword from the Nawu Talisman. He combined the two swords with the Qingzhu Sword and used the Dual Element Sword Technique to attack several times in a row, finally recovering a little from the decline.
Controlling two top-grade magic swords to attack at the same time consumes a lot of mind and true energy. Fortunately, Qingyang has been practicing the Concentration Technique diligently over the years, and his mind is much stronger than other cultivators of the same level. He also took a Huiyuan Pill in advance to replenish his true energy, so he can perform it smoothly.
Shi Jian next to him was quite surprised. She always thought that Qingyang had the lowest cultivation among all people. This trip was purely to make up the numbers. Just like Qin Ruyan said before, running errands and letting the wind go, he couldn't help much. Unexpectedly, this kid was so hidden that he could control two flying swords and perform sword techniques to attack when he was at the first level of Qi Refining.
They are all cultivators at the first level of Qi Refining. Why are others so good? How can I be compared to a young boy who is less than twenty years old? Shi Jian was not convinced. She took a deep breath, holding the Panshe Sword of the top-grade magic weapon level, and launched a rush attack on the second-level demon monkey.
Qingyang and Shijian cooperated with each other. For a moment, the two cultivators of the first level of Qi Refining actually performed beyond their normal ability and forced the second-level demon monkey to retreat again and again. The situation here seemed to be better than that of Cui Yu'an and Deng Changzhu.
The situation on the field suddenly fell into a stalemate. Fortunately, Qin Ruyan killed a second-level demon monkey in advance, otherwise, everyone would not be able to hold on for so long. However, the current situation is not optimistic. Whether it is Qin Ruyan's side, Tian Shengcai's side, or Cui Yu'an and Qingyang's two places, they are just struggling to hold on. It is only a matter of time before they lose.
Once the balance is broken, they will be miserable. Even if they flee in all directions, few can survive under the pursuit of the Monkey King and three second-level demon monkeys.
While fighting, Qingyang secretly pondered whether to expose the alcoholic bee. He has a queen bee in the foundation-building stage. Although the overall combat power of the spiritual insects is worse than that of the monsters, the alcoholic queen bee is one level higher after all. It is still possible for her to force back the monster monkeys on the opposite side.
