Chapter 607: The Strange Maitreya Monk
Wherever the sound of the zither went, no one survived!
Before the dozen children’s attacks landed on Happy, they were cut to bloody pieces by the surging notes that were like hidden weapons that came charging over like an avalanche. Their ferocious and brutal expressions instantly vanished, replaced by alarm and fear.
But at that moment, they could no longer stop Wind Chime’s rampage. The zither sounds echoed in the heart of the mountain, and the ringing and murderous notes were accompanied by sound blades that could sweep away everything. They killed the evil cult children mercilessly.
When the last child took his last breath with a pale face, Silver Wolf was covered in cold sweat. Little North’s mouth twitched, and All-powerful Medicinal Stone quietly wiped his Treasure Hunting Mouse…
Even Momo found that she had been sorely mistaken. She had always treated Wind Chimes as a little sister, since she did not expect that this seemingly weak girl would be a witch when she flew into a rage.
“Let’s look at what loot we have.”
Happy understood that under Six-fingered Demonic Zither’s effect, Wind Chimes had grown to understand her abilities even more, and her control grew as well. She became even more familiar with it, and when she executed Six-fingered Demonic Zither at certain times, she would be like Lu Mingyue and occasionally show the domineering side which belonged solely to Dongfang Bubai.
Life and Death martial art manuals were much more valuable compared to Moksha Realm martial art manuals, yet the thirteen children dropped ten of them. The astonishing drop rate made the eyeballs of Little North, whose task was to pick up loot, to almost bulge out of their sockets. “We’re rich.”
The others were also incredibly excited.
The dozen normal evil cult children alone had compensated all the money they had used for their trip to Sky Demon Sect.
But Silver Wolf did not pay too much attention to it. His gaze was trained on the dozing maitreya monk not too far away. Wind Chimes’ zither notes had not managed to shock him awake earlier.
“That old monk is a little strange.”
“There seems to be a door behind him. Will Sky Demon Secret Cave be inside?!”
“It might be.”
The six approached the monk cautiously.
To their surprise, the maitreya monk opened his eyes when they were less than thirty-two feet from him. His purplish green eyes shone brilliantly, and his body levitated out of the blue. Without another word, he delivered two palm strikes.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two balls of flames with an aggressive presence locked down on Happy because he was at the front. They had the powerful presence of those in Inaction Realm.
“Child’s play.”
Happy reflexively pushed forward with his hands. Two palm strikes delivered through the air dispelled most of the maitreya monk’s flame palms. The remaining power was negated by the Throw Spirit Sphere that was executed by his side.
Momo calmly pulled her arm back and stared at the maitreya monk indifferently.
The maitreya monk snorted coldly. “It has been a long while since anyone came to Sky Demon Sect. You’re pretty good to be able to get here. But I will not let you enter the place inside as you please. Sky Demon Secret Cave is the supreme holy ground of Sky Demon Sect. All those who trespass must die!”
“You talk a lot.”
Happy pushed three of his fingers together and sent two finger-generated gusts quietly.
At the same time, Momo curled her middle finger and also quickly sent over a finger-generated wind.
Wind Chimes held her zither with one hand, plucked the strings with the other, and a visible sound blade accompanied by a ringing sound that tore through the air appeared in front of the maitreya monk in an incredibly fierce manner.
A purplish-green body fortification cover quickly appeared around the maitreya monk.
The trio’s attacks were all blocked. The body fortification swayed slightly, but the maitreya monk was completely unharmed. He calmly sent another two palm-generated gusts of wind.
“This old monk is pretty good.”
Momo was slightly surprised. After all, the power of Throw Spirit Sphere was not to be underestimated. It delivered amazing damage to body fortifications. Hence, she did not expect that even when they attacked together, their attacks end up being fruitless.
Happy had a solemn expression on his face, but he did not forget to joke.
“Of course. Our Lord Jin [1] has said that it is to our best interests that we do not provoke old monks, children, beggars, and Taoists.”
“Who is Lord Jin?”
Silver Wolf looked at Happy with an incredibly serious gaze.
The maitreya monk seemed to have trained up quite the extraordinary body fortification. Most of their attacks were negated and vanished like salt in water. That included Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm as well as the other ultimate techniques. They seemed utterly powerless before the maitreya monk.
“Let me.” Silver Wolf took a step forward. “This old monk’s body fortification seems very strange and far above ours. I’ll have to get close to him and deplete his qi using Red Flame Palm before we can break it.”
“Alright!” Happy nodded. “Be careful. I’ll hold the fort for you together with Momo.”
In the end, something strange appeared…
The moment Silver Wolf got close, the maitreya monk laughed. Faint but lively purplish-green flames suddenly showed up around him, and he immediately noticed that his qi was spilling out and being depleted at an astonishing pace.
Silver Wolf said nothing and retreated with care. His qi realm had fallen to the borders of Life and Death Realm, and he could only smile bitterly in resignation.
“This old monk uses the same unique palm technique as I do, but it’s much stronger than mine. The area of effect is also very large. He nearly evaporated my qi. If one guard of Sky Demon Secret Cave is already so strong, it’ll be even worse when we go in.”
Silence fell among the group, and fear rose in their hearts.
“If we can’t even deal with him, then we’ll have come here in vain.” When Happy saw that the group could do nothing against the monk, he whispered some orders. “Wind Chimes, help me disturb the old monk. I’ll try again.”
Happy would naturally not give up.
In his previous life, there were countless players who spent a lot of time and effort to deal with the maitreya monk who guarded Sky Demon Secret Cave but failed multiple times.
Happy could have led them around, but he wished that his party would understand the maitreya monk’s strength and get a good grip of how powerful he was instead of going inside through tricks. If they did not understand the true danger, then when they entered Sky Demon Secret Cave, they would be affected by Sky Demon Illusion and definitely die.
“Careful!”
Silver Wolf and the other five already treated the monk as a powerful enemy of a caliber they had never met before, and they quickly told Happy to be careful.
Happy moved forward resolutely.
The maitreya monk continued to push his flaming palms forward, and when Happy drew close to him, purplish-green true qi burned around him to swiftly evaporate his qi.
Happy chose that moment to sit down and circulate Nine Yang Divine Skill to fight against the purplish-green flames roasting him. During that time, with Momo and Wind Chimes protecting him, his qi remained at the peak of its condition.
Dazzling ribbons of red qi began to form in the air. They quickly gathered around Happy, and their number just kept increasing until they gradually formed a huge red cocoon of light!
When the maitreya monk’s attacks landed on it, most of his damage was sent bouncing away, and he simply could not break through Nine Yang Divine Skill’s true qi protection.
This strange scene made the maitreya monk’s expression change.
He quickly noticed that the young man in front of him had a strange true qi protecting him. Even when he was under the effects of the purplish-green true qi, the speed at which his qi evaporated was very slow.
On top of that, the young man’s qi cultivation technique generated qi at an alarming speed.
But if the maitreya monk wanted to maintain his purplish-green true qi, he would need a lot of qi to do so. He could not stay in that situation for long, and he frowned before retracting the purplish-green flames around him to switch to attacking Happy with palm-generated wind.
Happy smiled faintly and quickly opened his eyes.
‘Made it!’
He pushed his hands against the ground and shot horizontally toward the maitreya monk who was charging toward him.
