The Chaos Furnace began its counterattack.
With the Chaos Furnace retaliating, Qin Chuan knew it was all over. He had absolute faith in the Chaos Furnace; very few treasures could suppress it in a true battle,
and he was unlikely to encounter one at present.
Boom!
In a short time, the Qiankun Cauldron shone brightly and then dissipated. Qin Chuan and his companions were naturally freed. Once outside, they naturally needed to resolve the battle; they couldn't let it drag on any longer, as there were too many things at stake. However,
before they could even make a move, they saw the Hou family members, including the patriarch, kneeling devoutly towards the Hou family gate.
Qin Chuan frowned, wondering what the other side was up to. Judging from their posture, they seemed to be inviting someone. But even the Hou family patriarch was kneeling before them—who was this person being invited? Did they
possess such power?
This made Qin Chuan feel both good
and uneasy. After all, anyone who could make the Hou family patriarch do this was definitely not simple, especially now that he was free. Killing them would be easy.
Yet these people remained motionless, seemingly unfazed by him.
This further demonstrated the terrifying power of their opponent.
Qin Chuan gritted his teeth, preparing to act. He couldn't wait any longer. His figure flashed, but at that moment, a faint aura emanated from him, making Qin Chuan instinctively back down.
Terrifying!
That was Qin Chuan's immediate feeling, a sensation that made his hair stand on end. Then he saw something emerge, the dangerous aura emanating from it.
Qin Chuan was stunned when he saw this thing.
It wasn't a human, but a golden-haired monkey.
Its fur was pure golden, long, even, and smooth, shimmering in the sunlight, exuding a majestic aura. This monkey was about 1.4 meters tall, not short.
It walked out slowly, its expression arrogant.
"Guardian God, please grant us your request..." the Hou family head knelt respectfully, pleading with the monkey to be settled.
The monkey nodded. It didn't look like a monkey at all; it resembled a human more. Even its eyes revealed intelligence. Qin Chuan had a strange feeling—that this was a person in monkey skin.
This feeling was abrupt. His Golden Divine Eyes told him his senses were wrong; this was a spirit monkey, not an ordinary one. Legend says such monkeys can covet the Heavenly Dao and, given the chance, can become incredibly powerful.
Qin Chuan hadn't expected to encounter such a being here. This monkey was strong, but just how strong, Qin Chuan didn't know. He had already pushed himself to his peak, allowing no room for error. His
Golden Divine Eyes locked onto the monkey.
"Young man, you're quite good. Your talent and aptitude are unparalleled. I don't want to kill you,"
the monkey spoke, its voice different from a human's. This wasn't surprising; many demonic beasts, primates, great demons, and demon kings could speak—it was normal.
"You can't fool me," Qin Chuan said calmly. Heh
…
the monkey let out a soft chuckle. The next moment, it moved. Its figure moved with lightning speed, a golden light flashing. But Qin Chuan's eyes were fixed on it; the instant it moved, Qin Chuan moved too.
Not only did it move, but the divine power of its divine eyes instantly acted upon it,
while the demonic beasts that had entered the earth beforehand, such as the Earth Golden Dragon Elephant, directly used abilities like gravity
to slow down everyone present.
Even so, Qin Chuan was still startled. This monkey's speed was simply too fast; it was the fastest Qin Chuan had seen in all his years of travel, indescribably fast.
The saying "speed is the only way to break through" was perfectly applicable to this monkey.
Qin Chuan didn't completely dodge; several blood grooves appeared on his shoulder, and blood spilled out.
One exchange.
"Not bad, you're the first to dodge a fatal blow from me. Interesting. I'll see how many times you can dodge." After saying this, the monkey charged at Qin Chuan again, its speed no slower than before.
This was the monkey's full strength. Even weakened, it was still quite fast at the beginning, indicating that the monkey hadn't used its full power before, but now it probably had.
Qin Chuan's Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness form possessed formidable defensive capabilities, but this monkey's claws were peculiar, easily injuring him. This truly was a spirit monkey, one of the most powerful in the world.
Qin Chuan didn't know which type of spirit monkey it was, but among the few powerful monkeys in the world, this one was likely among them.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
This was the monkey's most terrifying quality; everything was built upon speed, because only with speed could its other abilities be fully utilized.
Qin Chuan was currently in a somewhat disheveled state, forced to constantly dodge and, moreover, continuously reduce the monkey's speed.
Fortunately, Qin Chuan possessed the Divine Path Step, making him utterly powerless against it. This was why the giant monkey didn't take Qin Chuan seriously; if it knew Qin Chuan possessed the Divine Path Step, it wouldn't have spoken so casually.
However, the golden-haired monkey's speed was actually due to a wisp of spatial ability. If this ability were to develop further, becoming a legendary divine monkey, teleporting through space would be effortless.
Therefore, the current situation between the golden-haired monkey and Qin Chuan was precisely this mysterious point, a stalemate.
The monkey was enraged, letting out sharp squeaks, but still couldn't catch Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan kept dodging, while Huan Yu would seize opportunities to attack, such as turning stone into gold and freezing everything in its path.
Any ability that hits a target will slow them down; if you're lucky, the target might be instantly turned into gold or frozen.
However, Qin Chuan knew that the probability of that was almost zero, but the slowing effect was certain.
Moreover, these attacks were instantaneous, making them extremely difficult to dodge; even a being like the monkey couldn't avoid them.
At first, the monkey didn't seem to notice anything, because in its eyes, these attacks couldn't harm it at all.
But as time went on, the monkey realized something; its speed was vastly different from before.
And it was still continuing.
Qin Chuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax his grip even a little; he had to beat its opponent into submission.
Now the monkey panicked,
squeaking.
Qin Chuan ignored it, attacking again and again; having almost died before, he was now showing no mercy.
Bang bang...
Gradually, the monkey's body became more and more stiff, while the Hou family members were stunned, looking at everything in front of them in disbelief. This was their Hou family's guardian deity, but now it was being beaten so badly.
They were stunned. They rubbed their eyes, even opening and closing them, but nothing changed.
