Demons?
When Xu Que heard this word, he was startled.
Could it be Su Ling'er and her tribesmen?
"Ahhhhhhhh… Boy, save me quick! Damn, don't come near me. Ah, don't force this deity to attack you! Oww… don't chase me if you have guts!"
Buttface's howling could be heard continuously.
Xu Que raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "With such a cowardly pet by my side, everything is so f*cking embarrassing!"
He strode towards the forest.
But soon, Xu Que was shocked.
Inside the forest, countless black shadows were visible darting through the forest. He could not see their appearances clearly.
And Buttface was being pursued and attacked by the numerous black shadows. He was yelling at the top of his voice as he ran and jumped wildly about.
Boom!
Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard as a black shadow knocked into Buttface's back. The black shadow fell onto the ground as Buttface was still howling and running away as if nothing had happened.
Xu Que was speechless at the sight and he looked at the black shadow on the ground. His eyes immediately became big and wide.
A black monkey was lying on the ground!
The monkey was around the size of an adult human. It was skinny and had black, shiny fur. It even wore a weed woven skirt similar to those of prehistoric apes, who were evolving into humans and using them to cover their modesty.
Apparently, this black monkey had been the one to attack Buttface. But the moment it knocked into Buttface, it had fainted immediately.
Buttface was such a cheapskate and so were his body and bones... till now he had not yet come across anyone who could hurt him.
Xu Que recalled the scene that had taken place several days ago, when an Original Infant stage cultivator had tried to attack Buttface.
But when the Original Infant stage cultivator hit Buttface, he was the one who had ended up suffering a bone fracture.
However, although the black monkey had knocked into Buttface so strongly, he only seemed to have fainted. Xu Que could make out that the body of the monkey was rather tough as well.
"Oww, boy, you're finally here. Quick, release the Sword Spirit and destroy them! These demons are crazy!" shouted Buttface when he saw Xu Que and ran towards him wildly as if he had seen a lifesaver.
"Are you crazy? These are monkeys, not demons!" Xu Que's lips twitched heavily.
"Are normal monkeys anything like them?" shouted Buttface as he ran. "These monkeys look like half-humans and half-demons. They speak human language too. Aren't they f*cking monkey demons?"
Xu Que rolled his eyes. "Don't you speak human language as well? Why don't you call yourself a demon?"
"This deity is not the same as them!"
"Yes, you're right, you're a dog demon!" nodded Xu Que.
Buttface looked exasperated but he dared not challenge Xu Que. He could only wear a gloomy expression and continue running.
Xu Que now looked carefully at the countless black shadows in the forest.
The black shadows that were chasing after Buttface were all black monkeys!
According to what Buttface had said earlier, these monkeys knew how to speak human language. That meant they were demon beasts with intelligence.
Xu Que was glad and took a step forward. He gathered Qi into his dantian and shouted, "everyone, stop!"
This shout contained his enormous Soul Strength and was heard throughout the entire forest!
The trees and flowers in the forest swayed. All the black shadows stopped abruptly in their tracks.
In an instant, numerous black monkeys appeared in the trees. Every one of them looked at Xu Que.
Xu Que took a step forward with his hands on his waist. He asked the monkeys with a mighty air, "what are all of you doing? Have you ever heard of the saying, 'it's up to the owner to discipline the dog'? Go get your monkey king!"
"Damn, this deity is not a dog!" shouted Buttface as he ran to Xu Que with a bitter face.
Nonetheless, nobody bothered with Buttface.
Xu Que scrutinised the black monkeys in the forest. Some monkeys were scratching their ears, some scratching their butts. They were also looking curiously at Xu Que with very naïve and adorable expressions.
In no time, Xu Que was perplexed. These were such adorable monkeys, why would they move in collectively and attack Buttface?
Immediately, he turned to the dog. "Buttface," asked Xu Que, "did you f*cking create some trouble? Did you do it with a female monkey?"
Buttface instantly glared at Xu Que. "Boy, don't spout nonsense. This deity values chastity. Why would this deity ever do such a superficial thing?"
Swoosh!
At this time, they heard a deep noise from within the forest. A tall and strong black monkey suddenly sprang out in front of them.
With a loud boom, it landed heavily in front of all the monkeys, as if it was the king of the monkeys. It had a strange aura.
Xu Que was surprised. He was actually unable to check the stage of cultivation of this Black Monkey King. Not only that, but the strange aura of this monkey king actually felt ancient and totally out of place in this world.
In fact, all these monkeys, not only this monkey king, had that peculiar, ancient aura around them.
Xu Que couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.
At this time, the Black Monkey King's eyes glared at Buttface mercilessly. "You are bold enough to profane our sacred tree," growled the monkey king. "We must wash it with your blood today!"
Gasp!
Xu Que immediately took in a breath of cold air when he heard that. Instantaneously, he gave Buttface a tight slap!
Piak!
"Oww! Boy, what are you doing?" howled Buttface, who stared angrily at him.
"Are you f*cking crazy?" said Xu Que with a face full of shock. "I thought you did it with a female monkey. Never did I expect you to be so perverse! Tell me, did you do it with the sacred tree?"
"Ah?"
Buttface was terribly confused.
Do it with a tree?
The next moment, he suddenly realised what Xu Que was referring to and dashed over to Xu Que furiously. "F*ck," cursed Buttface, "this deity will fight it out with you!"
Xu Que was thrilled inside. He thought, now I have a chance to teach you a lesson.
"Lie on the ground!" he shouted and quickly chanted the collar-tightening spell.
"Owww!"
The dog collar around Buttface's neck contracted sharply, and Buttface fell to the ground and rolled around in pain.
"Ah! Boy, stop! This deity did wrong! Really wrong!" pleaded Buttface loudly.
A faint smile appeared on Xu Que's face and he stopped chanting the spell. "What did you do wrong?"
Buttface laid on the ground, he was gazing at the sky with a despondent face and took a few long breaths!
A short while later, Buttface stood up. "What did I do wrong?" asked Buttface, full of resentment. "This deity only peed under a tree earlier. Then this group of monkeys rushed in and claimed that it was a sacred tree. Isn't this injustice? They're obviously trying to blackmail me!"
"Darn, I just transformed the Imperial City into a civilised ancient city," said a vexed Xu Que. "And you pee and poo without qualms the moment we step out of the city. Yet you still have the cheek to call this an injustice?"
Buttface gave up immediately and turned his head away from him, pretending he had heard nothing.
The tall black monkey took a step forward. "Hmph, by trespassing upon our ancestral land, you already deserve death," declared the monkey coldly. "Now you even desecrated our sacred tree, don't think you can get away alive!"
"Wait, did you just claim that this is your ancestral land? asked Xu Que, staring at the monkey. "On what basis? Do you have proof? Do you have the title deed?"
The Black Monkey King was startled for an instant. "This has been the ancestral land of our tribe for countless years," replied the monkey king immediately. "We have lived here for generations and have guarded our ancestor. Why would we need proof?"
"You're wrong, this place is the border of the Metal Nation," grinned Xu Que. "And I'm the future heir of the throne of the Metal Nation. In short, your land also belongs to me!"
The Black Monkey King shook his head. "I don't care which country this is," said the indifferent monkey. "This place does not belong to you humans. If it were not for the recent unusual changes of heaven and earth that weakened the Five Elements Seal that is suppressing our ancestor, you wouldn't even have had the chance to see this place at all."
