Chapter 96: Berserk Battle, Final Breakthrough
Tang Shan's highly mocking gesture made the Multi-Brain Monkey hiding in the mixed ape troop burn with rage; it raised its head and let out a sharp monkey cry.
In an instant, as if receiving some command, ape after ape of various shapes and sizes beat their chests and roared almost simultaneously. With violent momentum, they darted rapidly through the forest, sprinting along the branches. The ear-piercing sound of sharp claws scraping against tree bark rose one after another as they quickly closed the distance to Tang Shan.
"Oooooo!"
The Iron-Armed Monkey's arms, which reached down to its knees, had bulging, knotted muscles. With a powerful swing, a wooden club as thick as a bowl smashed toward Tang Shan's Face, accompanied by the whistling sound of breaking air. At the same time, it raised its fist, the wind from the punch carrying a fierce gale, striking at the human before it like a heavy cannon.
Whoosh!
Tang Shan caught it casually, his arm muscles tightening instantly. Subconsciously, he used a clever force to deflect the immense power carried by the wooden club, then pushed forward. The long wooden club snapped in response, wood chips splattering everywhere, but it barely managed to block the heavy punch that the Iron-Armed Monkey had followed up with.
Bang, bang, bang!
Punches flew like phantoms, the dull thuds of flesh meeting flesh making the air tremble. After trading three hard blows with his opponent, he instantly turned and leaped backward. The next moment, the branch they had both been stepping on let out a creaking sound of being unable to bear the weight and snapped, the broken end still trembling slightly.
That Iron-Armed Monkey could only grab a nearby branch again, turning its body to regain balance.
Bang, bang!
Leaping into the air, Tang Shan crossed his hands like heavy hammers. His waist bent at an extremely exaggerated angle, his body seemingly folded into a U-shape. Power was transmitted segment by segment, converging on his fists, and he smashed them forward!
In front of him, the burly Vajra Demon Ape took the full force of Tang Shan's charged punch-hammer directly to its chest.
Crack! The crisp sound of shattering bones merged into one. The opponent's chest instantly caved in, and its massive body was sent flying like a cannonball, smashing into the few baboons chasing behind it. After a series of chaotic screams, the number of enemies in front of him decreased significantly.
As his body fell due to gravity, Tang Shan's large hand reached out and grabbed, his fingertips hooking onto a thick vine. Using the momentum, he swung his body toward the persistent monkey troop behind him.
Since Snake Lance Douluo is present, what is there to retreat from? Why should he retreat? Today, he would fight to his heart's content!
Whoosh!
Fierce winds whistled past his ears as his figure moved through the forest like Gui Mei. With the enhancement of his first Soul skills, his muscles and bones surged. Every punch carried an explosive sound that tore through the air, stirring up a violent wave of attacks in the forest.
The muscles on his back bulged, and veins stood out like a thick suit of muscular armor. He took the blows of three wooden clubs head-on; the dull thuds made his arms go numb, but his hands naturally scooped the monkey lunging at him into his embrace. His knotted arm muscles suddenly exerted force, and with a series of sounds of bones snapping, the monkey in his arms instantly went limp like mud.
He swung his arm casually backward, and five or six apes were sent flying directly by Tang Shan's arm, which was as thick as a thigh. Some of the weaker ones, under the explosive force of Tang Shan's precise power, had countless bones broken, falling to the ground while screaming.
Casting away the corpse in his arms like a ragdoll, Tang Shan's figure moved and shifted through the forest once more. The branches beneath his feet trembled, yet there wasn't a single extra sound.
His spirit and energy were like a blazing sun, his blood surging like boiling water; it seemed as if he had merged with the surrounding slaughter, becoming one. As monkey-type spirit beasts died or were injured under Tang Shan's hands one after another, the invisible momentum on his body became increasingly intense and scorching, causing even the surrounding apes to subconsciously slow down their pouncing movements.
Wherever he passed, it was inevitably a scene of blood and gore. Figure after figure was sent flying, falling from the trees and crashing onto the ground, kicking up clouds of dust and fallen leaves. Screams echoed throughout the entire forest.
"Squeak, ga-ga-ga-ga!"
Seeing his subordinates being sent flying with almost no power to resist, the Multi-Brain Monkey was clearly anxious. No longer letting the guards beside it just watch, it danced and shrieked, commanding them to surround and attack Tang Shan from all directions.
In the process of fighting these spirit beasts, Tang Shan quickly discovered some problems. Although these spirit beasts were of many types, the vast majority of their attacks relied either on the wooden clubs in their hands or on physical punches. They basically didn't use their own innate abilities. Clearly, under the training of the Multi-Brain Monkey, they had gained strong physiques and proficiency with clubs, but they had also gradually forgotten their innate abilities. It was hard to say whether this was fortunate or unfortunate.
At the beginning, those surrounding and attacking Tang Shan were just some spirit beasts of ten to several decades; they posed no threat at all, and he moved through them as if entering an empty land.
However, following the command from the Multi-Brain Monkey in the rear, some spirit beasts of several hundred years also quickly surrounded and attacked Tang Shan. Sharp claws tore through the air, clubs carried fierce winds, and suddenly, the pressure surged.
Boom, boom, boom!
The airflow was stirred by the collision of fist against fist. After trading three hard blows with his opponent, he instantly turned and leaped backward. The next moment, the branch they had both been stepping on let out a creaking sound of being unable to bear the weight and snapped, the broken end still trembling slightly.
Whoosh! Crackle!
A fireball shot over from the left, shrouding Tang Shan's entire body with scorching heat waves. Intense cold air swept in from the right, instantly freezing a layer of white frost onto the right side of Tang Shan's body. From the front came the charge of a hundred-year-old giant ape carrying the force of a thousand jun. Silently, from behind, appeared a green monkey emitting a foul stench, toxic saliva dripping from its sharp fangs. Above his head, a hundred-year-old Iron-Armed Monkey inverted its body, its long monkey claws gleaming with cold light, aiming straight for Tang Shan's eyeballs.
In an instant, the killing intent from all directions shrouded Tang Shan's entire body like a physical substance, and even the air became stagnant.
Charging forward, Tang Shan did not retreat but advanced instead, crashing into the chest of the giant ape before him. Its thick fur helped Tang Shan block the vast majority of the elemental attacks from the Fire Monkey and the Ice Baboon. At the same time, a hidden force suddenly erupted from Tang Shan's palm, violently surging into the opponent's heart, causing its three-meter-tall body to suddenly stiffen.
Snap!
A light palm, devoid of any worldly aura, struck the opponent's chest. The giant ape's body suddenly stiffened, its vitality rapidly fading away, its eyes widening, and it collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.
His hands expanded and stretched, grabbing the spirit beasts on his left and right that were preparing to flee. He then swung them upward to meet the monkey claws reaching down from above. Puchi, the sound of flesh being torn rang out. Tang Shan didn't change his expression; after all, it wasn't his body being torn.
He pulled back the monkey he had held high, then held it behind his back, meeting the dark green poisonous gas sprayed from the mouth of that green monkey. The poisonous gas landed on the spirit beast, instantly corroding hissing blood holes into it.
His arm strength exploded. Even though the distance for exerting force was very short, Tang Shan's hands were still like cannons, throwing the bodies of the two monkeys out. They rolled into a heap with the monkey behind him, the screams and the hissing of the poisonous gas intertwining.
He turned to look not far away at the Iron-Armed Monkey, which had just dodged the previous ambush from above and was now free-falling because it had lost its balance.
Tang Shan's eyes were sharp, like a demon choosing someone to devour. Combined with the blood all over his body from the series of exchanges just now, it added a few points of ferocity and grimness.
The invisible, terrifying momentum pressed toward the Multi-Brain Monkey in the distance. The creature was so frightened it couldn't help but shriek. Feeling that it had lost Face, it was just about to demonstrate its power again, but the roar at its lips came to an abrupt halt.
"Compress, explode!"
Tang Shan's soles stomped fiercely against the tree trunk, two deep footprints embedded grimly into the bark. His body soared into the air again, pouncing toward the Multi-Brain Monkey.
Perhaps the accumulation of momentum was enough, or perhaps a flash of inspiration had struck his mind. In the instant Tang Shan leaped into the air, it was like a carp jumping over the Dragon Gate; his spirit and energy, which had climbed to the extreme, transformed with a bang, and an unprecedented clarity swept through his entire body.
Past slaughter, tempering, and willpower condensed at this moment. The originally surging and scattered momentum seemed to have found a backbone, instantly converging and refining, becoming sharp and terrifying.
