Phina froze but looking at Shadowslash's serious expression she knew that she had no way out of this situation she could only grits her teeth and prepare for battle, Shadowslash on the other hand patted the head of Green or the Tree Tiger.
Green let's out a loud roar as it jumps besides Phina as it growls at the trees around them, unlike Phina it knew where the enemies are coming due to its instinct.
Watching all of this Shadowslash was calm and relaxed as he leans on one of the trees and his entire aura started to blend into the darkness and actually disappears in the view of the two.
A couple of seconds later beasts started appearing on top of the trees, there were at least hundreds of these strange beasts that looks like a combination of both monkey and boar.
Upon seeing these strange beasts Phina's eyes lits up as her stomach actually rumbles and her nervous appearance have changed into an appearance of a warrior ready fo battle.
The strange beasts continue to scream at the two but none of them dares to approach causing Shadowslash who was watching from the side to frown.
If this goes on then there will be no fight that would happen just as he had thought this was going to happen the strange beasts started jumping down into the ground following a much bigger monkey from their group.
Judging from it's appearance and the fact that the other monkeys seems to follow it the two quickly realised that it was the leader of these group.
The leader of these troop of monkeys looks at Phina and Green with greedy and hungry look, it's saliva continue to drips into the ground as the other monkeys follows it examples and looks at the two in a rather greedy manner.
'So they are carnivores.' Upon seeing how they react Shadowslash immediately realised that these monkeys aren't omnivore or herbivore they are full fledged carnivores.
With a roar the monkeys immediately charged towards the two with great momentum, Green immediately let's out a loud roar and it's momentum rose and from the perspective of these strange monkeys it seems to be larger than before.
But this are all just illusion that Green's aura and momentum created to intimidate it's enemy, the leader of this troop of monkeys made an ugly expression as it lets out a series of howls.
Upon hearing it's howl the other monkeys that were scared from Green's aura started to advance once again, Green immediately became enraged at first it was a bit nervous because of the number of its enemy but this feeling faded when it realized it's majesty was being challenged.
It had submitted to Shadowslash because of the difference of bloodline but against these monkeys he wouldn't submit even if he die, Seeing that the situation is now beyond redemption Phina immediately waves her katana nearly cutting the monkey in front of her.
Just as she was about to attack once again she felt something was attacking her head before fading, a voice suddenly sounded on her head 'Your stance is extremely weak and the way you handled your sword is incredibly pathetic.'
She knew whose voice this belongs to as she quickly retreated and looks at Shadowslash who was also looking at her with a calm and indifferent gaze.
Knowing that this is some kind of test that he is giving to her, Phina's gaze became more determined as she grips the handle of her katana tightly.
She then heard numerous instructions inside her head as she quickly follows it while at the same time incorporating her own fighting style as she fights.
Shadowslash's eyes shone as he nods at satisfaction as he realised that Phina's ability to follow command and ability to learn how to fight is quite astonishing, Phina and Green continue to fight against these monkeys.
Phina ducks as one of the monkey tries to punch her head, she then kicks the leg of the monkey causing it to fall.
Without hesitation she charged towards the falling monkey as it's chest was pierced by her sharp sword, seeing one of their comrades die the other monkeys became enraged.
On the other hand Phina was extremely excited she realized that her sword was extremely sharp, she didn't felt any obstruction as she pierced the chest of her enemy causing her confidence to rise.
Meanwhile Green was trying to kill at least one of the monkeys but it was surrounded and was being bashed by them making it furious but what it did not realised is that while it fights Shadowslash was using his spiritual sense to slowly change its body.
The foreign energy of this world and nature Qi starts to flow inside it's body while it continue to fight, the two were really outnumbered but their side isn't that in a disadvantage with Shadowslash supporting them from the sidelines.
One of the monkey near Phina started shrieking in pain as one of its arms were cut off, realising just how sharp her weapon Phina's fighting style have changed.
At first she was afraid of damaging the blade of the sword but realising her worries were unfounded her fighting style became more perfect.
Swish! With a fast strike she cleanly cut off the head of the monkey, the monkeys were quite fast even though their figures were extremely fat but no matter how fast they are they aren't faster than Phina's sword strike.
Phina knew that she wouldn't be able to hold on against these monkeys if she continue this fight so without hesitation she quickly charge towards Green brandishing her sword around her.
The monkeys have already realised how sharp the sword on her hand so they didn't dare to block the attack nor get too close to her.
Just as she was about to reach Green the leader of the monkeys arrives in front of her with a giant branch on its arm.
Her expression became solemn she then saw the monkey chief raising it's weapon and slamming it towards her.
Swiftly spinning to the side she dodged the attack, she then slashed her sword towards the monkey chief but it nimbly dodge the attack by jumping backwards.
It sent a mocking gaze towards her and raise it's weapon to attack her once again but before she was able to it felt something big and powerful slamming from behind it causing it to scream in pain.
Phina's eyes lits up as she remembers that they were close to Green but just as she was about to deliver the finishing blow to the monkey chief the other monkeys surrounded her and started attacking her using stones and sticks.
Knowing that she wouldn't be able to finish off the monkey chief she could only pray that Green would be able to finish the job.
"Hah!" Letting out a shout she jumps up dodging the attacks before sending numerous sword strikes towards the nearby monkeys.
Two monkeys weren't lucky as they were too slow to dodge the strike and one of them became blind while the other one was killed.
Knowing that she needed to protect Green while it and the monkey chief tries to kill each other she started rapidly moving towards their direction.
Green was now mauling the monkey chief but because the two of them were both Gold Rank or Marrow Tempering Rank beasts and the fact that there are some monkeys helping their chief made it a long fight.
The monkey chief continue to scream loudly as it holds the mouth of Green stopping it from biting it's face.
The other monkeys tried to pull it from their chief while some continue attacking but they were unsuccessful of injuring it the slightest.
Suddenly one of the monkeys that were pulling Green let's out a shriek before falling into the ground, one of its arms were cut off and finally it's head separated from it's body.
The other monkeys were given a shock and was confused as to what had happened, Phina arrives besides another monkey and slashed it into halves.
.
Swish! The attack was fast and precise the monkey had no chance to even let's out a cry before it's body splits into halves.
Phina continue using her speed and nimbleness to ran around the group of monkeys and taking their lives one by one.
Because of the unparallel sharpness of her sword in this fight she was clearly at an advantage, the only way for the monkeys to survive her attack is to dodge because blocking it would be impossible.
Shadowslash's eyes shone once again as he was laughing inwardly, he realised that Phina's compatibility and comprehension towards the way of the sword is actually quite great.
If she continue to train diligently under him he is quite confident that she would be able to comprehend sword intent.
Besides the sword on her hand isn't just a normal simple sword, it is a sword that was created with runes embedded on it.
Unfortunately she wouldn't be able to activate it because it needed spiritual sense but he could teach her.
