Chapter 81: Slaying the great demon, hidden arrows are hard to defend against"Courting death!"

The Golden Eagle was furious. It spread its wings wide, and all its golden feathers shot out like countless sharp swords, instantly shredding everything within a hundred meters into pieces.

In an instant, golden light roared, and Sword Qi crisscrossed.

This was a large-scale killing move, comparable to a sword formation used by human cultivators!

Xu Hei had been on guard against his opponent. All his scales merged to form a shield in front of him, and he burrowed underground, retreating to a safe distance.

The Golden Eagle's eyes turned red. This was its final killing move, capable of materializing all the feathers on its wings into small flying swords, destroying everything.

However, once this move was used, it temporarily lost its ability to fly.

But Xu Hei's attacks had already focused on its wings, rendering it unable to fly. Using this move was just going with the flow.

"Come again!"

Xu Hei stared at the opponent's bare wings and commanded his puppets to intensify their efforts, continuing to throw stones.

At the same time, he reserved a large portion of his mind for spells like Earth Spike, occasionally using his scales for sneak attacks, driving the Golden Eagle into a rage.

It regretted coming underground; had it known, it would never have come.

"Just you wait!"

The Golden Eagle used its feathered flying swords to clear the way, climbing up the rocks with its claws, rushing out of the valley like a flightless chicken.

Having lost its ability to fly, it could only walk, its speed reduced to below that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, comparable to an ordinary Spirit Communion Stage demonic beast.

"You can't escape!"

Xu Hei wouldn't let such an enemy leave. If the Golden Eagle regrew its feathers, it would attack again, knowing the power of his scales and his methods, and would be prepared.

By then, another battle would be extremely disadvantageous for Xu Hei!

This time, he had to kill the opponent! No loose ends!

...

Xiao Chou stood at a distance, watching the scene of the featherless giant bird emerging from the ground, with Xu Hei in hot pursuit. He couldn't help but be stunned.

A Spirit Communion Stage demonic beast chasing a Foundation Establishment cultivator—this would have been unheard of before, but it seemed reasonable with Xu Hei.

Xiao Chou had no time to watch, as he too had encountered opponents.

Two long-armed giant apes, at the peak of the Spirit Communion Stage, were attacking him from front and back, each holding a bronze gong magical artifact, occasionally striking it, causing dizziness.

In the distance, a group of monkeys kept throwing stones, feces, and other miscellaneous items, some of which emitted a foul odor, annoying him to no end.

"You beasts!"

Xiao Chou cursed, taking a punch to the face, leaving him bruised and with broken bones.

Compared to Xu Hei's side, this was a completely different scene.

One was chasing, the other was being beaten.

He suddenly missed the smell of Awakening Pills; if he had one, it might drive them away.

"Brothers, stop hitting, spare me!"

Xiao Chou ran with his head covered, taking a heavy blow to his back, knocking him to the ground, seriously injured with broken bones.

In desperation, he took out steamed buns, bananas, and other food from his storage bag, throwing them into the distance.

The monkeys rushed to the food, temporarily stopping their attack, giving Xiao Chou a moment of relief.

But before he could be happy, the two giant apes fixed their eyes on his storage bag.

"What do you want?"

Xiao Chou screamed, and the two long-armed apes stretched their arms several meters like rubber bands, grabbing for his storage bag.

"Don't even think about it!"

Xiao Chou gritted his teeth, but one of the apes struck the gong hard, making his head spin. In that moment of dizziness, his storage bag was snatched away.

In a blink, the monkeys had the bag, rummaging through it.

"No!!! My storage bag! Give it back!"

Xiao Chou got up and ran over.

The contents of the storage bag were scattered all over the ground, causing the monkey group to scramble for them. Among the items, a woman's long dress stood out.

...

At this moment, Xu Hei had intercepted the Golden Eagle at the edge of the valley.

He set up a giant puppet formation around it, blocking all escape routes.

"Smash it!"

Xu Hei gave a low shout, and all the granite puppets used the Flying Stone Technique, hurling stones at the Golden Eagle.

The Golden Eagle was protected by feathered flying swords, so Xu Hei didn't dare get close, but he could keep depleting its strength until it died of exhaustion.

This was the safest method!

"Boom boom boom..."

The boulders kept falling, shaking the earth and mountains, with faint cries of eagles echoing.

An eagle without wings was like a tiger without teeth, just waiting to die.

Xu Hei's Divine Sense was locked onto the front, sensing the Golden Eagle's weakening aura.

Before long, it collapsed to the ground, on the verge of death.

Xu Hei didn't relax, continuing to control the falling rocks, piling them into a small hill, while using Earth Spikes to attack from above and below.

He glanced at Xiao Chou's situation and saw him being attacked by monkeys, raising his suspicion. Why were both attacked at the same time?

Suddenly, Xu Hei felt a chill down his spine.

His pupils shrank, and he reflexively retreated. In the next second, a bone arrow shot past, nearly grazing his head.

Missing its target, the bone arrow turned and shot at Xu Hei again.

Xu Hei's face darkened, his gaze locking onto a white figure on a distant mountain.

"It's that white-haired old ape!"

Xu Hei's tail lashed out, colliding with the bone arrow, shattering it, but he was also heavily hit, flying far away, with old injuries flaring up, blood seeping from his mouth.

Xu Hei, injured by a Spirit Communion Stage peak demonic beast!

The bone arrow was a magical treasure, made from the bones of a great demon, emitting the demon's former pressure, with terrifying power.

Because of this, Xu Hei was injured.

The old ape's timing was peculiar, attacking just as the Golden Eagle died, seemingly knowing Xu Hei would relax.

Such a sneak attack would have killed anyone else, but Xu Hei managed to block it.

"Even among demonic beasts, there are cunning ones. That white-haired old ape left without a word, only to cause trouble in secret."

"The Golden-winged Thunder Eagle must have been its accomplice."

Xu Hei was furious.

He wasn't afraid of open attacks, but sneaky ones were the worst.

If the white-haired old ape had negotiated or fought directly, Xu Hei wouldn't be so angry. Now, he felt the sting of betrayal.

After the failed attack, the old ape vanished again.

It kept a distance of over five hundred meters, avoiding Divine Sense detection, with no trace of its aura, clearly skilled in stealth.

But Xu Hei was determined to kill it. This monkey had to die!

Xu Hei took a Rejuvenation Pill, quickly recovering. After the battle with the Golden Eagle, he was exhausted and injured, unable to fight further. He quickly collected all the puppets and the massive Golden Eagle corpse. Sёarch* The Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Golden Eagle's demonic beast meat was a rare treasure, aiding in reaching the peak of the Spirit Communion Stage, preparing for Foundation Establishment.

Its feathers and claws were excellent materials for crafting magical artifacts, and its inner core contained a trace of thunder power, making its entire body valuable.

...

A thousand miles away, deep in the vast Wu Mountain.

Hei Huang was flying through the air when he suddenly widened his eyes, slapping his forehead as if remembering something.

"Oh no, I forgot to give Xu Hei the puppet I promised."

Hei Huang quickly landed, frowning in hesitation.

He had been planning to make a perfect body for Xu Hei but got too busy and forgot.

"Little Xu should be fine without a puppet, right? Maybe I should just forget it?"

He hesitated for a moment, thinking hard, but finally shook his head.

"No, I can't break my promise. I'll make one and send it to him; it won't take long."

Hei Huang dug out a cave dwelling, took out various materials, and began crafting.
