Chapter 491: Go and Return

Li Shengbo's spear was also a top-grade magic weapon. When used by a cultivator who had reached the Perfect Qi Refining Stage, its power could be imagined. If other cultivators were to catch it with bare hands, the recoil alone would seriously injure the opponent. However, monsters were different from ordinary cultivators after all. Their attack and defense were much stronger than those of cultivators of the same level, and even as strong as some magic weapons. That was why the Iron-armed Monkey dared to face the spear without dodging or avoiding it, and took the initiative to meet it.

Of course, the Iron-armed Monkey did not dare to face the spear directly. If it was stabbed by the spear, not to mention him, even a monster in the Foundation Establishment Stage would be seriously injured. When the spear was about to pass by him, the Iron-armed Monkey jumped up and directly hit the spear.

The two collided, and the spear was thrown out two or three feet away. The iron-armed monkey fell to the ground due to the recoil force, and retreated several steps before he could stop. Moreover, the part that hit the spear before also had a large red swelling, and almost broke and bled.

The pain of the wound aroused the ferocity of the iron-armed monkey. As soon as he stood firm, he rushed towards Li Shengbo. At this time, Li Shengbo was also very clear that with this demon monkey blocking in front, he could not kill Qingyang at all. Only by solving the demon monkey in front of him could he have a chance to deal with Qingyang, so he hurriedly recalled the spear and fought with the iron-armed monkey.

The battle situation on the field was indeed as Qingyang expected. Li Shengbo and the iron-armed monkey were both in the perfect cultivation of Qi Refining. The demon monkey was stronger in combat. However, Li Shengbo was a cultivator after all. He not only had a powerful attacking magic weapon spear, but also a defensive magic weapon, and even magic talismans and elixirs as assistance, so Li Shengbo was still better in comprehensive strength.

However, the Iron Arm Monkey was not weak either. With its powerful attack power and rare defense power of a cultivator, the monkey was not at a disadvantage in the battle with Li Shengbo. As long as it was not injured by the spear, the monkey would not take other attacks seriously. Therefore, although the Iron Arm Monkey was temporarily at a disadvantage, it would not show signs of defeat in a short period of time.

Watching the battle on the field, Qingyang temporarily calmed down. Li Shengbo was dragged by the Iron Arm Monkey and was temporarily out of danger. He could recover his true energy first and treat his internal injuries. When the outcome was decided on the field, he would decide what to do next.

However, Qingyang also saw that the monkey suffered a disadvantage because it had too few means. Although the monster beast had strong attack power and defense power, it was only a flesh and blood body after all. It could not compare with the magic weapons and spiritual weapons of the cultivators. It was easy to suffer a disadvantage if you were not careful.

I must think of a way to get the Iron Arm Monkey a magic weapon or spiritual weapon. I don't want to say anything else. I don't expect him to use magic attacks. I just want him to have something to resist the magic weapon attacks of the monks next time, so he doesn't have to fight with his flesh and blood.

The battle on the field was extremely fierce. Li Shengbo used all his skills and all his means. His fighting power was more than three points stronger than when he was fighting with the group of rats. Because he knew very well that this was a life-and-death battle for him. He couldn't afford to lose, and couldn't lose. Once he lost this time, he would fall into an irreversible situation.

The Iron Arm Monkey was not to be outdone. Suddenly, he raised his head and howled, and his black hair stood up. There was a burst of sound all over his body. His arms swelled several times as if they were inflated. Like a ferocious beast, he smashed towards Li Shengbo on the opposite side.

The demon beast has a warlike gene in its blood. It had been trapped in the Drunken Immortal Gourd by Qingyang before, and rarely had the opportunity to show itself. Now it finally had the opportunity, and it was an evenly matched opponent, which just stimulated its warlike nature. The Iron Arm Monkey became more and more courageous in the battle, and fought heartily, even with a faint feeling of excitement.

The battle at the perfect level of Qi Refining was amazingly powerful. The aftermath of the battle alone made the surrounding ground shake, and dust and rocks fell down. There were also several mines that collapsed because they were directly affected by the battle. In order to avoid being affected, Qingyang could only keep retreating.

Watching the fierce battle on the field, Qingyang couldn't help but be secretly shocked. He always thought that he had more cards in his hand and could confront the cultivators who had reached the perfection of Qi Refining with the Four Elements Sword Formation. Now he found that it was not so easy to fight across levels. He still overestimated himself. The strength of the cultivators who had reached the perfection of Qi Refining was really not comparable to that of ordinary cultivators. If he wanted to defeat Li Shengbo with the Four Elements Sword Formation, he had to at least improve his cultivation to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

In the blink of an eye, two quarters of an hour passed, and the battle on the field became more and more intense. However, Qingyang also saw that the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey was not Li Shengbo's opponent. As time went on, the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey suffered more and more injuries. After all, the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey's strength was still a little worse than Li Shengbo's. It was only a matter of time before he lost, and the situation could no longer be reversed.

The breakthrough that Qingyang expected to stimulate blood did not come. In fact, this was also normal. If it was so easy to break through, foundation-building cultivators would not be so rare, and foundation-building pills would not be so popular. Although the Iron Arm Monkey improved his blood with the Blood Jade Paste, he was old and weak after all, so it was not easy for him to break through. He had to find a way to get the Foundation Building Pill.

At some point, there were more gray-yellow shadows in the surrounding mines. Qingyang thought they were the Mountain Shocking Rats that he had driven away. They were unwilling to leave their nests and hid in the corners of the mines. However, as the number of them increased, he finally realized that something was wrong. There were only a few dozen Mountain Shocking Rats that he had driven away, but now there were so many gray-yellow shadows in the corners that they must have just come.

The group of mountain rats that had been frightened by him before were not sure enough and would never dare to come back. The group of mountain rats that appeared nearby was likely to be the reinforcements brought by the mountain rats that had escaped before, which meant that he was likely to encounter a larger group of mountain rats.

Just as Qingyang was considering how to deal with the group of mountain rats that had returned, the mountain rats also took further action. There was a scream from behind, and the mountain rats suddenly became agitated, and then they crawled out from all corners and gathered around Qingyang and others in the center of the battlefield.

The scream just now was somewhat familiar. It was the third-level mountain rat king that Qingyang and others had encountered a few days ago. The group of mountain rats that gathered around was no less than seven or eight hundred, and some of them were injured. It seemed that the group of mountain rats that had let them leave before were really enemies, and were blocked by them again in this mine.
