Chapter 1204: Fierce Shock That Drops Jaws to the Ground

“Monkey, you screwed us over! This damn Mountain River Map clearly aids the enemy and restricts us!”

Peng Wanli lay on the ground, unable to move, completely naked and without any dignity.

Normally, his body was covered in brilliant golden feathers, and he hovered in the air like a dazzling sun. But now he was covered in blood, with only a few feathers remaining.

If someone added a little more fire, he could be turned directly into roast duck.

On the other side, Xiao Yao was in a similar state, with broken bones and torn muscles, lying there unwilling to move.

As for the monkey, he was sprawled on the ground, butt in the air, because Chu Feng had smashed his tail into a bloody mess, nearly breaking it into three pieces.

Even now, he was still groaning and grimacing.

“How was I supposed to know their trump card involved their physical bodies? Damn it, I had people investigate thoroughly earlier, even almost using a honey trap, but we still couldn't uncover this secret.”

The monkey was furious and embarrassed. His mistake this time had almost led to an entire team being completely trapped here.

It was imaginable that if Jin Lin and her group had truly captured them, they would have been tortured severely, a fate perhaps worse than death. Given Jin Lin's pampered personality, how could she have easily let them go?

“Ow, I'm in so much pain! Sister, do you have any medicine left?” the monkey cried out, feeling as if his tail was about to break.

Of course, his loud complaints were also a deliberate attempt to change the subject, as his strategy had serious flaws.

“Cao De, you son of a gun! I am the Handsome Monkey King. If I lose my tail, I swear I'll fight you to the death, endlessly!” the monkey roared.

Hearing this, Peng Wanli also became agitated. Cao De had broken several of his bones; he was truly... an animal, outrageously crude and savage.

“Cao, you actually hit your own people? The rumors outside didn't wrong you, you pervert!” Xiao Yao cursed.

Chi Lingkong also looked furious, casting a disgusted side-eye at Chu Feng. He was likewise enraged; after all, one of his wings had been smashed bloody, with bone splinters protruding, making him feel faint just looking at it.

The few of them protested, collectively condemning Cao De, claiming he had beaten them, causing more severe injuries than even their enemies would.

Chu Feng, feeling guilty, first apologized, then stubbornly retorted, “Who said I hit all of you? At least not Sister Mi Qing, I didn't touch her.”

“Cao, you really are selectively attacking, aren't you? You did that on purpose, right?” Peng Wanli grew even more displeased and unbalanced. He was already so miserable, yet Cao De still gave him a beating, filling him with intense frustration.

As for the monkey, he bared his teeth, and a cold glint flashed in his thunder god's mouth. With a grim face, he warned, “Cao De, I'm telling you, don't even think about my sister now. I gave you a chance before, and you blew it!”

“Mi Qing and I are good friends, and we have engaging conversations. What's it to you?” Chu Feng said, looking completely unafraid of him.

Upon hearing this, the monkey clicked his tongue, his eyes glinting ominously. He had never seen such an arrogant person. Wanting to pursue his sister? And daring to say such things in front of him? It was too hateful and shameful.

No matter what, even if the other party succeeded in their pursuit, he would still be known as "big brother-in-law"!

Peng Wanli, Xiao Yao, and Chi Lingkong were all speechless. How arrogant! This Cao De was truly bold, saying such things in front of the monkey and provoking him like that. Was it really a good idea?

Mi Qing smiled, very sweetly. Although she shared the same mother as the monkey, she was entirely different, naturally born in human form, youthful and beautiful.

This was a hereditary trait; the Six-Eared Macaque lineage had always had two forms over the years, and she belonged to the one that favored the human form.

At this moment, though her white robes were stained with blood, she still exuded an otherworldly elegance. Her large eyes were clear, beautiful, and ethereal.

However, she was also heavily wounded now, unable to get up for a time, completely out of strength.

Chu Feng hurriedly jumped off the golden qilin, very enthusiastic, and immediately went to help Mi Qing. This provoked the monkey, who opened his thunder god's mouth wide, growling repeatedly, intimidating and threatening him.

As a result, Chu Feng ignored him, arrogantly disregarding the "brother-in-law" type figure, and continued to walk forward.

At the critical moment, Mi Qing still considered her brother's feelings, subtly declining Chu Feng's help and saying she was fine.

“Monkey, when will this Mountain River Map automatically unseal?” Xiao Yao asked.

“Soon, probably,” the monkey replied.

In fact, just as he finished speaking, there was a tremendous roar, and the mountains within the entire Mountain River Map darkened, then rapidly shrunk, quickly transforming into a scroll painting.

It no longer covered the area but floated into mid-air, shimmering with divine light, suspended there and radiating dazzling brilliance.

Outside, everyone stared at the spot, watching the scene, eager to know how many had died and what the final outcome of the battle was.

In everyone's eyes, the few individuals in the Golden Body realm must have been defeated, and miserably so. They assumed Cao De had suffered the worst death, and it was hard to say if even a complete corpse remained.

At this moment, beams of light surged as the Mountain River Map turned into a scroll, illuminating everything like a sun. It hadn't yet absorbed its final terrifying energy, so people couldn't clearly see the scene on the ground below for a while.

“Cao De is quite remarkable. He's risen rapidly lately, sweeping through battlefields and causing Golden Body cultivators from the opposing side to flee at the mere sight of him. It would be a great shame if he died here.”

“If he doesn't die now, he won't live long in the future. Think about it, he offended Jin Lin, which is like offending the top expert in the Saint realm. Kun Long is renowned as the First Saint!”

“Jin Lin's brother, on the other hand, ranks third among God-level experts. His mutated qilin form is unstoppable, truly formidable. If you provoke his sister, do you think there'll be a good outcome?!”

People discussed, unanimously believing that Chu Feng must have been eliminated, and perhaps for him, this was a premature release.

Only a few God Kings and Quasi-God Kings, whose pupils sharply contracted, were unafraid of the dazzling Mountain River Map in the sky. They immediately discerned the true situation, and one by one, their faces twitched uncontrollably.

Then, everyone else fell silent, because the Mountain River Map began to retract its glow, no longer dazzling and blinding.

On the ground, scattered haphazardly, lay a group of people: the Six-Eared Macaque, Golden-Winged Great Peng, Daoist Xiao Yao, and the Exotic Wild Crane Chi Lingkong. All were severely wounded, sprawled there, unable to move.

Only Cao De remained, his eyes still sparkling, full of vigor and spirit, even appearing to have boundless energy.

Everyone was dumbfounded. He was... sitting on whom?

“That's... oh my god!”

The crowd was shocked. The hard shell of the Sub-Saint Flowing Light Snail was shattered, and he lay on the ground, immobile like a corpse.

Near the Sub-Saint Green Gold Orchid, the ground was covered with metallic leaf fragments and roots. He, too, was like a zombie, blood flowing from his nose and mouth, his eyes glazed over, unable to move a muscle.

Moreover, both of them were tied up.

Most crucially, Jin Lin, the young lady of the mutated Qilin tribe, had revealed her true form—a massive, elegant, and beautiful physical body, lying horizontally on the ground, tightly bound, with someone sitting cross-legged on her!

“Cao De!”

“Oh my god, what happened? Cao De is sitting on Jin Lin and has tied her up! What is going on?”

The crowd erupted. This was completely different from what they had imagined.

Even the few God Kings and Quasi-God Kings had twitching faces. Even they had been wrong in their earlier predictions. Not only was Cao De unharmed, but he was full of energy, becoming the only vibrant person present.

Hong Yunhai's expression changed abruptly. He wanted to shout out, but he held back. Now was not the time for him to step forward recklessly.

“Cao De, what is the situation here?!”

A large number of evolvers had arrived here, half of them Golden Body level individuals, and the other half from the Sub-Saint encampment.

Now, those Sub-Saints were all stunned, experiencing an inexplicable tremor. Some asked with trembling voices, unable to believe their eyes.

“What's going on here?!”

“Nothing much,” Chu Feng replied calmly. “These are all my captives. I took them all down.”

Then, he gestured with his hand, indicating that not only were the three Sub-Saints within his designated scope, but he had also inadvertently included the monkey and the others, crossing the line.

“You bastard!” Peng Wanli roared, enraged.

The monkey's face also turned green. This shameless fellow was too brazen, exaggerating his achievements!

Everyone was speechless. What a formidable achievement! An entire group of top experts from various realms, and he had taken them all down!

At this moment, Jin Lin slowly woke up and immediately sensed something was wrong. Seeing many people nearby staring in shock, she panicked and quickly transformed into her human form, becoming a woman of unparalleled grace.

In fact, throughout generations, the mutated Qilin tribe had always adopted human form. Through bloodline evolution, by this generation, the human form had become their primary body, while the Qilin body was more akin to a combat form, which they only used when battles became most intense.

Therefore, she preferred her human form, and upon seeing so many people present, she immediately reverted.

However, she hadn't fully grasped the situation: a person was still sitting cross-legged on her massive Qilin body.

Now, as her body suddenly shrunk, she realized something was wrong. The instant she knew someone was on her and perceived who it was, she nearly fainted again.
