Chapter 241: Like Morning Dew the Days Gone Are Many and Bitter


When Black Heavenly Split fell, the entire dense forest seemed to tremble three times.

Wei Yuan sat on Chen Xu's shoulder, even more excited to the point of trembling all over, almost unable to sit still, about to fall headfirst.

The mountain wind swept through, and for a moment, this deep forest was silent.

—Whether it was the chirping of insects at night or the distant howl of beasts.

No, even further away, there seemed to be a thick voice exclaiming: "Friend, spare..."

The word "spare" didn't have a chance to be truly spat out.

Because just when Black Heavenly Split was split into two and fell on the ground, at the same time, fierce flames shot out from Chen Xu's Wu Hook.

It was Karmic Fire!

The Black Heavenly Split, split in two, did not die completely for a while. Its left half head was still roaring with anger: "Ah—"

The rich essence blood sprayed out, seemingly about to regenerate flesh on the other side, but the Karmic Fire on the Wu Hook suddenly descended like divine fire.

As they say, dry wood meets fierce fire, sparks ignite.

Even though Black Heavenly Split's foundation was deep, it could not withstand the burning of the raging Karmic Fire at this moment.

Moreover, Black Heavenly Split seemed not as formidable nor strange as the Immortal Witch.

Of course, it could be that Chen Xu's cultivation had leapfrogged again, so he felt Black Heavenly Split was nothing.

The black Monkey King of imposing stature, reigning over a part of the forest.

At this moment, however, was split into two by Chen Xu's slash, and more like dry wood, ignited by his flames, burned to ashes in a few sweeps.

Until the ashes rose into the air, collected by Chen Xu's sleeve, that distant voice "spare..." just came to an abrupt halt.

The distant thick voice disappeared, not knowing what kind of demon the other party was.

In short, that voice, long and loud enough to echo throughout the forest, fell silent without leaving a trace.

[After the demonic Monkey King's death, the tribulation ashes, three taels and nine qian, demonic Qi exhausted, contains rich essence blood, concocted with Midnight Rootless Water into Blood Soul Mud Essence, possessing a strong physique, boosting Qi Blood, and healing effects.

Remarkable efficacy, best taken internally, can heal injuries above the Core Formation Realm.]

Good stuff!

The black Monkey King came to deliver at night, truly a courtesy hard to decline.

Chen Xu faintly smiled, sang longingly: "Sing to the wine, how long is life, like morning dew, more bitter days gone.

Impassion with generosity, worries hard to forget, how to relieve sorrow, only Du Kang!"

Taking out a gourd of Intoxicated Spirit Wine from the waist, Chen Xu drank again, wine aroma lingering in the wind.

The little hedgehog sat on Chen Xu's shoulder, tightly gripping a piece of his collar, only feeling tonight's experience like a dreamlike fantasy.

Its tone was somewhat dazed: "Brother Chen, was that the black Monkey King?"

Indeed, from Black Heavenly Split's ambush, to being discovered by Chen Xu and taking pre-emptive action, then to Black Heavenly Split being burned to ashes, the entire process was like flowing clouds and water, like a swift starfire, morning dew glowing.

Everything vanished in an instant. Black Heavenly Split only had time to claim "I am the king" and didn't even have the chance to fully reveal its name.

It died so thoroughly.

So much so that Wei Yuan even felt he had seen wrong, even doubting his own judgment.

Just heard Chen Xu said: "It must have been the black Monkey King, but regardless of who it is, I originally had no intention of provoking.

Helplessly, this demon deliberately ambushed; I could only counter-kill."

Wei Yuan now woke up and quickly said: "That's how it should be; these forest fights were originally none of our business, but who made this guy come to ambush Brother Chen you?

It's so bad! It acted first, Brother Chen counter-killed, no problem at all."

"Squeak Squeak!"

At this moment, the little mouse in Chen Xu's sleeve also poked its head out, squeaking loudly, expressing shared animosity over Wei Yuan's words.

Hey, the two little demons that originally had some discord are harmonious now.

Of course, in fact, it was always the little mouse disliking Wei Yuan; Wei Yuan's behavior was always courteous and polite.

Now the little mouse let out a "squeak" in endorsement, and Wei Yuan delightedly said: "Ah Shi, you agree with what I said, right?"

Ah Shi snorted once but eventually whispered back: "I don't agree with what you said; I think the Scholar is amazing!"

"Yes, Mr. Chen is really amazing; he can kill the Ghost King, wicked paths, and demons. He can also write poems like green smoke, transmitted throughout the world, astounding writing, and supernatural ink..."

Wei Yuan immediately responded, proudly, with overwhelming honor.

Ah Shi again made a light "hum," but this time it didn't sound like a cold sneer but a bit cute.

The little mouse said: "That's for sure, do you need to say?"

Wei Yuan happily curled his mouth.

The night wind gently sent, all sounds in the mountain became gentle and profound.

Chen Xu continued down the mountain with the little mouse and hedgehog, still walking under the moonlight, moving forward.

Same vast sky and earth, yet the world seemed somewhat different.

Didn't know when, the clouds in the sky covered the moon again.

The paths in the forest were still clear, the night atmosphere had a kind of vast serenity.

Wei Yuan suddenly said: "Brother Chen, do you feel like something is watching us from all directions?"

It's actually a little demon that often lived outdoors, indeed not fearing the night of the mountains and fields at all.

But ever since Chen Xu killed Black Heavenly Split, Wei Yuan felt the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.

Even though Chen Xu went down the mountain swiftly, far from where Black Heavenly Split died, the silence still followed, lingering long.

This could be understood as the creatures in the mountain fearing Chen Xu, hence all hiding in panic.

But somehow, Wei Yuan felt this silence made its heart panic inexplicably.

It's hard to say whether this was its natural instinct or what.

But heard Chen Xu answered: "Ah Yuan ever heard a saying? This is the opening of a good show, naturally, A Eighth Ghost Divine comes."

"Ah?" Wei Yuan startled, "Opening of a good show, Eighth, Eighth... Ghost Divine?"

It involuntarily felt nervous, but knowing it was beside Chen Xu, it quickly adjusted its emotions, forced itself to stay calm.

Fortunately, Chen Xu soon said: "Actually, it's not truly Ghost Divine, just always some death spirits different from living spirits that exist in the wilderness.

They haven't truly become ghosts, don't have complete wisdom, can't enter the Netherworld, living spirits can't see them.

But they easily get attracted to various incidents, will unconsciously gather to watch sometimes.

Like just now I killed Black Heavenly Split, attracting such a group of death spirits to watch."

Exactly.

Wei Yuan understood, the panic because of the excessive silence was finally completely dispelled.

It bashfully smiled, then looked at the night in front, feeling wondrous about the world.

Then heard Chen Xu saying: "The death spirits are wandering here, a Ghost Market must be nearby, Ah Yuan, Ah Shi, I said before I wanted to summon a ghost, look, now it's here."
