When he heard that, Xuan Yi chuckled. "Fufu, our Misty Peak is one of the five major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty after all. It's a rare paradise as well. That monkey sure is smart to know to head up the mountain to learn from a master."
"Yes, that monkey's movement technique is not bad. I wonder how long he can last against little crane's attacks."
"Judging from little crane's cries, she's a little angry, haha!"
"That monkey is in for it."
"Let's go and take a look."
Wen Xuan and Xuan Yi smiled with relaxed expressions. Each of them carried a child and soared into the air, speeding towards the peak in the distance.
They were getting closer.
After breaking through the thick fog, the smiles on Wen Xuan and Xuan Yi's faces gradually disappeared. Their gazes were strange, as though they had witnessed something unbelievable.
After a momentary silence.
"Cough, that black shadow … doesn't seem like a monkey?" Xuan Yi pointed at the black shadow that was still climbing the peak and coughed with a hesitant tone.
"Yes … it seems like a person," Wen Xuan chuckled dryly with an awkward expression.
As peak masters, both of them could not help but feel embarrassed for committing such a low-level mistake.
In reality, they could not be blamed for that.
From afar, the black shadow on the peak was blurry, darting left and right as though it was even more agile than a monkey. Even though both of them were Perfected Jin Dan and were knowledgeable, they had not expected that black shadow to be a person!
When they got closer, their expressions changed once more.
"That … doesn't seem like a person."
"Yes … there should be two of them."
After another momentary silence.
Wen Xuan's expression darkened and he could not help but grumble, "Is there something wrong with that person? It's fine if he's climbing the mountain, but what's with that Little Fatty?"
"Eh, that's not right. That person is carrying a bow and saber. I seem to have heard of that before," Suddenly, Xuan Yi remarked.
Right then, the fat child beside Wen Xuan shouted excitedly as he pointed at the figure scurrying up and down the cliff, "Peak master, that's him! That scholar! "
…
On the steep peak.
Each time the crane flapped its wings, Su Zimo would stick tightly to the stone wall and dig his fingers and feet deep into the rock.
Under Su Zimo's fingers, the tough rock was as soft as tofu.
If other mortals wanted to climb the peak, they would have to find a place to rest.
But Su Zimo did not have to do that.
If not for the crane's obstruction, Su Zimo would have been able to climb on the peak as though it was flat ground.
Right now, many of the mortals behind Su Zimo had already been blown away by the wind created by the wings of the immortal crane, leaving Su Zimo the only one still climbing the mountain.
To be precise, there were two of them. Su Zimo was even holding onto a little fatty.
The crane's eyes shone with a hint of anger as it cried out and soared into the skies. Swooping down, it extended its sharp claws and swiped at Su Zimo.
It!! Swoosh!!
Su Zimo wanted to dodge but it was too late.
In a flash, Su Zimo suddenly let go of his grip and fell half a foot. He then reached out and dug his palms into the stone wall!
Snap!
Above Su Zimo's head, a large piece of rock was crushed by the crane's claws. Gravel flew everywhere and landed on Su Zimo's face but he did not notice it at all.
Some of the gravel landed on Little Fatty's body, causing him to shudder visibly.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he hoisted Little Fatty in the air and hollered, "Don't play dead or I'll throw you down!"
Little Fatty shuddered and opened his eyes, saying hurriedly, "Bro, don't scare me. I was wrong."
"Do you still want to climb the mountain?" Su Zimo asked hurriedly.
"Yes, of course."
"Lie on my back. Hold on tight. Don't blame me if you fall."
"Alright, alright!"
Little Fatty moved a little and wrapped his arms and legs around Su Zimo's neck and waist like an octopus.
That way, even though Su Zimo was still carrying someone, he had an empty hand.
The crane's initial attack was not fierce and its intention did not seem to be to hurt anyone. Instead, it was to stop Su Zimo from climbing the mountain.
After its repeated futile attacks, the crane was enraged. Just Now, if Su Zimo could not dodge in time, his head might be crushed by the crane's claws!
Against an enraged early-stage Foundation Establishment spirit demon, Su Zimo did not dare to be careless. That was why he had Little Fatty lie on his back so that he could use both hands to deal with the crane.
To be fair …
Su Zimo, who had only cultivated to the third section of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, was not a match for a spirit demon, even if the crane was only at early-stage Foundation Establishment.
However, Su Zimo did not want to fight the crane. Instead, he wanted to avoid the crane's interception and ascend the mountain. That way, it would be much easier.
Swoosh!
The crane swooped down once more. Su Zimo's eyes lit up and he exerted strength in his legs, shifting horizontally on the steep and slippery mountain walls. Dodging the crane's attacks, he exerted strength in his entire body and dashed upwards.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Su Zimo's fingers and toes dug into the rocks as he climbed the mountain at a speed comparable to running on the ground!
"Caw, caw!"
When the crane saw that, it was enraged and soared into the air at an extremely fast speed. Like a sharp arrow, it arrived behind Su Zimo and attacked repeatedly with its sharp claws and beak.
Its long and thin beak was even sharper than a flying sword. With every stab, Su Zimo would hear the sound of the wind, causing him to shudder in fear.
As long as he was struck by the sharp beak, there would be a bloody hole in his body.
Little Fatty was so scared that he shut his eyes tightly and shivered.
Su Zimo dodged repeatedly. His tendons and bones sounded at the same time, stretching and shrinking his body. His flesh was filled and his tendons were trembling continuously – he was almost at his limits.
With his spirit perception, Su Zimo avoided the crane's attacks by the skin of his teeth and continued climbing.
The crane's cries turned more hurried and even carried a hint of killing intent!
The peak was getting closer.
The crane's attacks were getting more ferocious as well!
…
At the peak of the mountain, two young Dao children watched everything as though they were in the situation. They looked nervous and could not help but break out in cold sweat for the green-robed scholar.
A man and a crane were wrestling on the steep mountain peak. Even though one of them looked like he could not retaliate, it was extremely intense and dangerous.
If the green-robed scholar was slightly slower, he could have died under the crane's sharp claws!
Wen Xuan and Xuan Yi had grim expressions as well. They watched everything intently and were prepared to save him at any moment.
"To think that the scholar would still have some strength left. Even after emptying his hands, he can still climb towards the peak despite little crane's attacks," Xuan Yi's tone was emotional.
Wen Xuan said in a deep voice, "If I'm not wrong, the saber on the scholar's waist and the bow on his back are both made from spiritual items of the universe. Even though they are pseudo spirit weapons, the total weight of these two pseudo spirit weapons is almost one thousand kilograms!"
The meaning behind Wen Xuan's words was clear. If Su Zimo had removed his Cold Moon Saber and Sanguine Crystal Bow, he would have been able to reach the peak with more agility and speed.
Wen Xuan and Xuan Yi exchanged glances.
Both of them had a tacit understanding and the same thought flashed through their minds at the same time. "This scholar … is interesting."
