Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 326 - 310: Solving Trouble

"Huff!"

As the monkey burst forth, Qin Qing had not even discerned its form before feeling a blaze flash before his eyes.

Only when it brought down its spear did Qin Qing clearly see that it was a monkey bathed in flames.

The monkey was clad in golden armor, wielding a golden halberd, from which seven-colored lights flowed, its sharp edge like the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven, instantly striking towards the Thunder Lightning Eagle.

The pupils of the Thunder Lightning Eagle suddenly revealed a look of alarm; its feathers flared out completely, halting its body mid-air and retreating instantaneously.

"Damn monkey! I knew you would show up!"

The Thunder Lightning Eagle’s pupils coldly regarded the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape.

"Disheveled bird, to think you narrowly escaped death."

The Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape’s eyes showed unwillingness, but it quickly launched another attack, swinging the halberd at the Thunder Lightning Eagle once more.

"Qin Qing, make your move!"

Old Bull glanced at Qin Qing and quickly shouted.

Qin Qing got the message, leaping up, his entire form like that of a roc, shooting up from the ground. In that leap, he soared over ten meters high, his Azure Dragon Spear thrusting towards the Thunder Lightning Eagle.

At this moment, the Fire Rhino Beast King charged towards Qin Qing, precisely positioning itself beneath him as he rose to his peak height. Qin Qing stepped on the back of the Fire Rhino Beast King and charged at the Thunder Lightning Eagle.

The battle erupted swiftly.

The strength of the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape was evidently more formidable than Qin Qing had anticipated.

After a few exchanges, the Thunder Lightning Eagle was completely suppressed.

This Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape itself boasted the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm—although also in its preliminary stage, it was in peak condition, whereas the Thunder Lightning Eagle was wounded.

So even if Qin Qing and the Fire Rhino Beast King did not intervene, the Thunder Lightning Eagle would still be subdued.

"Slash!"

The word "slash" fell from the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape’s mouth as its halberd burst forth with dazzling flames, hacking repeatedly in the air. Its edge zigzagged through the sky, like the meandering course of a river, slashing towards the Thunder Lightning Eagle.

The Thunder Lightning Eagle fell into passivity, urgency apparent in its eyes.

Upon seeing the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape’s halberd slash down, terror filled its gaze.

It hastily flapped its wings, and in a flash, countless bolts of lightning shot from them, forming myriad thunder swords in the air like a torrential downpour, enveloping the skies.

"Be careful!"

The Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape looked back and shouted, its halberd moving with impervious speed.

Old Bull breathed out fire, its body similarly blazing brightly, forming a fiery protection aura.

Lightning continuously struck the fiery shield, nearly piercing it, when Qin Qing’s Azure Dragon Spear moved swiftly, its spear lights like a fierce cloudburst, effectively countering the thunder swords and greatly alleviating the pressure on the Fire Rhino Beast King.

"Ding!"

The Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape’s halberd struck the body of the Thunder Lightning Eagle.

A shower of sparks burst forth; its body’s feathers were harder than steel and gold.

Yet the strike managed to slice through its skin, feathers fell, and fresh blood spattered out.

"Yoo Yoo..."

The Thunder Lightning Eagle cried out mournfully, fleeing to the side.

But on this side, the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape closely pursued, with Old Bull and Qin Qing following right behind.

"Huff, huff..."

But at this instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantaneously.

A ridging chill emanated from the Thunder Lightning Eagle’s body, rippling out like ripples on water.

"Not good!"

Old Bull abruptly halted, "It’s the Ice Spirit Pearl!"

"Qin Qing... the Ice Spirit Pearl has completely suppressed us, now it’s all up to you!"

The Fire Rhino Beast King said anxiously.

Above the Thunder Lightning Eagle’s head, a white bead appeared.

From this bead, milky white cold mist continually wafted out.

The surrounding air turned icy cold in an instant, and one could even see frost forming from nothing.

Frost also rapidly formed on Qin Qing’s brows and hair tips.

Cold!

Extreme cold!

Even Qin Qing felt an unbearable chill.

As for the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape and Old Bull, their movements slowed dramatically in that moment, their internal spiritual power as if frozen.

Old Bull and the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape, both Fire Attribute ferocious beasts, naturally had flaming spiritual power within; ice and fire are incompatible, each suppressing the other.

But this Ice Spirit Pearl was evidently no ordinary object, hence both Old Bull and the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape were subdued.

"Whoosh!"

Seizing the opportunity, the Thunder Lightning Eagle transformed its wings into a sharp blade, slashing furiously at the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape.

The Ape’s speed plummeted, and unable to dodge, it was struck by the wing.

"Ding!"

Its golden armor emitted a clangorous collision noise as it was toppled, coughing up golden blood.

In that moment, Qin Qing suddenly burst forth.

He specialized in the Fire Attribute as well, and his spiritual power was also predominantly fiery, but Qin Qing’s flames were out of the ordinary—they were the flames of the Azure Dragon, divine fire!

The Ice Spirit Pearl could suppress the "fire" within Old Bull and the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyes Ape, but it couldn’t continuously suppress the "fire" within Qin Qing...

Qin Qing charged forward, his Azure Dragon Spear slashing out once again.

"Courting death! Human!"

Confronted with Qin Qing’s attack, the Thunderhawk didn’t even take it seriously.

Although Qin Qing’s strength greatly exceeded its expectations, in the eyes of the Thunderhawk, Qin Qing was still too weak!

With a sweep of its claw, a mass of thunder and lightning condensed into an eagle’s claw, which then reached out to grab Qin Qing.

It possessed the terrifying destructive power of thunder and the sharp force of shredding!

"Boom!"

Qin Qing was directly blown away, tumbling through the air before landing on the back of the old ox once more.

"Cough cough!"

Qin Qing coughed up blood.

This collision inflicted heavy damage on his internal organs, and at the same time, tore multiple gashes across his body.

Even though the Thunderhawk was seriously wounded, it was not something that Qin Qing could contend with at the moment.

"If it’s no good, we retreat. This blasted bird is too powerful," the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape shouted to Qin Qing and the old ox.

"No good? That may not be the case..." Qin Qing grinned, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

And at the same moment, a white shadow suddenly rushed above the Thunderhawk—it was Xiao Bai!

Xiao Bai flew towards the Ice Spirit Pearl and swallowed it in one gulp!

"Whoosh..."

The Ice Spirit Pearl was directly swallowed by Xiao Bai.

"Xiao Bai, come back here!" Qin Qing quickly called out, and then turned to the other side, shouting to the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape, "Quick, attack the Thunderhawk."

Understanding Qin Qing’s intent, the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape immediately swung the Crimson Gold Halberd, striking at the Thunderhawk.

The Thunderhawk initially wanted to try to control the Ice Spirit Pearl, to snatch it back.

But it hadn’t truly refined the Ice Spirit Pearl, so it couldn’t simply control the Ice Spirit Pearl and take it back into its control.

At this time, the attack from the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape was already closing in!

A strong sense of unwillingness filled the Thunderhawk’s eyes, but it knew that without the Ice Spirit Pearl, given its current state, it was impossible to fend off the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape.

Not to mention, there was also a Beast King that was a fire attribute rhinoceros and another troublesome human...

The Thunderhawk flapped its wings and flew away, its speed was very fast.

Flying creatures seeking to flee would generally be unmatched by normal Nascent Soul Ancestral Beasts.

In the blink of an eye, the Thunderhawk had vanished into the horizon.

The Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape had no intention of pursuing and instead turned to look at Qin Qing.

Qin Qing stood on the back of the flame rhinoceros, feeling a sudden alertness in his heart.

The situation was indeed very passive at the moment, and Qin Qing was in the air, unable to fly... Of course, Qin Qing also had his own trump cards, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken such risks.

What came next was whether the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape and the Fire Rhinoceros Beast King would turn hostile.

If they turned hostile or demanded the Ice Spirit Pearl from Qin Qing, then Qin Qing would tear his face with them.

However...

Clearly, Qin Qing was overthinking it.

"Thank you."

The Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape didn’t ask Qin Qing to hand over the Ice Spirit Pearl but instead sincerely thanked him.

Then, the Fire Rhinoceros Beast King came to the ground, and Qin Qing also returned to the surface.

The Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape spoke again, "Qin Qing, you’ve really helped us out this time. I’d like to invite you for a drink. It’s the fruit wine brewed by our Ape Clan. Would you like to give it a try?"

The Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape extended a warm invitation.

In the conversation not long ago, the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape learned Qin Qing’s name from the Fire Rhinoceros.

As for the Ice Spirit Pearl, it seemed that the old ox had already come to an agreement with it beforehand, so it didn’t even ask.

This made Qin Qing feel a sense of goodwill towards the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape.

If it were humans, most might be tempted by greed, considering that both the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape and the old ox saw Qin Qing as a Divine Might Realm martial artist, with strength equivalent at most to that of the Golden Core Realm.

If the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape had wanted to forcefully take the Ice Spirit Pearl, it would have already made its move.

"Sorry, Brother Monkey King."

Qin Qing bowed his fist, "I have an urgent matter this time and can’t try your Ape Clan’s fruit wine... If I get the chance next time, I will definitely come to find Brother Monkey King."

"Alright, you’re most welcome. Most welcome!" the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape said with a grin.

"Qin Qing. In the future, if you come across our Fire Rhinoceros Clan, please show mercy!" the Fire Rhinoceros Beast King said to Qin Qing as they parted ways.

"Okay. Definitely!" Qin Qing grinned.

Afterward, Qin Qing bade farewell to the old ox and the Monkey King again.

The Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape once again urged Qin Qing to make time to taste the ape clan’s fine wine in the future.

"This Monkey King is actually quite straightforward," Qin Qing mused, shaking his head with a smile as he left.

After all, the disposition of the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape was quite compatible with Qin Qing’s.

It was just that he couldn’t try the fruit wine this time.

This trip, he helped the Crimsonflame Gold-eyed Ape and the old ox out of a fix, and of course, Qin Qing’s gains were not small either.

The Ice Spirit Pearl was the biggest gain.

"Let’s go! To Heifeng Valley first!" Qin Qing peered through the dense jungle toward the sky, feeling that time was running out.

Then, Qin Qing hurried towards Heifeng Valley with Xiao Bai, speeding along.

Meanwhile, high in the clouds a thousand feet above, a Roc appeared faintly visible and the Zhuiri Ancestor was sitting cross-legged upon it, closely watching every move of Qin Qing below...
