Chapter 272: Mr. Chen, How About Saying Your Last Words?
Chapter 272: Mr. Chen, How About Saying Your Last Words?
"Mr. Chen, the battlefield is just ahead!"
Chen Ye didn't need the lieutenant's reminder.
He had already seen it—just a few hundred meters ahead, smoke billowed, explosions raged, and a fierce battle was unfolding.
He could even hear the resonant cries of dragons and saw energy-formed flying dragons soaring through the air.
What kind of ability was this?
"Right now, President Ba and Captain Qin are fighting the Beast King."
The lieutenant added, "Mr. Chen, before you go, do you want to make a call to your family? Or leave a message we can deliver?"
Chen Ye: "???"
Did they think he was marching to his death?
"No need."
Leaving only those words behind, Chen Ye walked forward.
At that moment, he was slightly surprised.
Because on the battlefield, he spotted a familiar figure.
It wasn't Ba Liming or Qin Muyin, but another familiar presence.
Seeing Chen Ye leave without a word, his head held high, the lieutenant's eyes filled with admiration.
At that moment—
He and his comrades felt that the bald man's back looked truly heroic!
A few soldiers instinctively raised their right hands in salute, watching his departure…
Chen Ye moved swiftly.
In just a few breaths, he had reached the battlefield's perimeter.
He could have moved even faster, but he deliberately slowed down to observe this so-called "Beast King."
When he finally saw its appearance, his mind went blank.
At that moment—
A figure suddenly flew out from the battlefield.
It was sent flying by a strike from the Beast King's weapon.
Chen Ye's sharp eyes quickly recognized Ba Liming and immediately rushed forward to catch him.
"Ugh!"
Ba Liming coughed up a mouthful of blood, clearly heavily injured.
His massive two-and-a-half-meter form shrank back to normal.
Realizing that it was Chen Ye supporting him, Ba Liming looked surprised.
"Chen Ye? What are you doing here? Where's your father?"
"Shibo, let's talk about that later."
Chen Ye replied, "I'm going to take on the Beast King first!"
Hearing this, Ba Liming's expression darkened.
This Beast King, though small in stature, possessed terrifying strength.
He had just unleashed his full power in an attack—and it didn't leave the slightest mark on the Beast King.
Such an absurd level of defense was almost incomprehensible.
And it wasn't just its defense—the Beast King's raw strength was also overwhelming!
Had Qin Muyin not been using her telekinesis to restrict its movements, Ba Liming would have already been killed.
"Chen Ye, don't be reckless. I know your true strength isn't weaker than mine, but this Beast King is beyond what humans can handle."
Ba Liming grabbed Chen Ye's arm and warned him solemnly, "I can tell—it's been playing with us this whole time. It hasn't even used its true strength. If it got serious, Qin Muyin and I would have already lost."
Chen Ye was slightly surprised.
As expected of a master of the Unbreakable Body technique—he had already noticed something unusual about him.
At that moment—
The battlefield took another drastic turn.
Without Ba Liming's suppression, Qin Muyin was left completely vulnerable to the Beast King.
With a single roar, the Beast King sent her flying.
Then—
The Beast King looked at Qin Muyin and… spoke.
"You two aren't bad. I had a lot of fun!!"
Qin Muyin was momentarily stunned.
She probably hadn't expected the Beast King to be fluent in Mandarin.
But the next moment—
A killing intent flashed across the Beast King's face.
It had grown bored.
Casually, it threw the iron staff in its hand.
The weapon shot through the air like a piercing arrow, letting out a ghostly wail as it hurtled toward Qin Muyin at terrifying speed.
"Woo!!"
Qin Muyin knew how dangerous the Beast King was—she didn't dare block the attack head-on and immediately dodged.
But strangely enough—
The iron staff curved midair, like a tracking missile, continuing to pursue her.
"Damn it!"
Realizing that the Beast King had finally decided to kill, Ba Liming let out a furious growl.
Ignoring his injuries, he pushed Chen Ye aside and charged back into the fray.
He knew very well—
Qin Muyin's telekinetic shield wouldn't be able to withstand the Beast King's weapon.
If Qin Muyin died and her telekinesis interference ceased, everyone here would be doomed!
The next moment—
Whoosh!
A figure shot past Ba Liming like a gust of wind, leaving a deafening sonic boom in its wake.
Even with Ba Liming's keen eyesight, all he could see was a gleaming bald head streaking through the air…
It was Chen Ye!
…
Seeing the iron staff hurtling toward her, Qin Muyin's eyes widened, her face turning pale.
At that moment, she could feel the presence of death enveloping her.
She knew very well that her telekinetic shield wouldn't be able to block the Beast King's weapon.
This time, she was certain to die.
Qin Muyin's eyes were filled with despair…
At the last possible moment.
Suddenly.
A hand reached out from beside her and firmly grabbed the iron staff!
The staff, which carried immense power, came to a complete stop in that hand, unable to move forward even an inch.
Qin Muyin was stunned and immediately turned her head.
There, standing beside her, was that familiar bald head, a confident smile on his face.
For some reason.
Seeing that bald figure, Qin Muyin felt an instant sense of security.
The terrifying Beast King was still there, yet she found herself filled with confidence in the man before her.
"Qin Jie, I wasn't too late, was I?"
Chen Ye's voice rang out.
Qin Muyin let out a relieved smile.
"No, you weren't."
"Good. Qin Jie, take a rest now! This damn monkey is mine."
That's right!
The Beast King was a monkey.
A monkey Chen Ye was very familiar with.
The very same Monkey King from Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons—Sun Wukong!
Chen Ye also found this strange.
He couldn't understand why the Sun Wukong from the Journey to the West world had turned into a Beast King and appeared in his world.
Although his mind was full of questions, right now, his priority was to teach this monkey a lesson first.
If not for this damn monkey, he would be napping in the car by now.
Qin Muyin wanted to warn Chen Ye that this Beast King was incredibly dangerous.
But she also knew that Chen Ye was just as terrifyingly strong.
So, in the end, her warning was reduced to just two words: "Be careful."
Chen Ye nodded.
At that moment.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang in his grasp was still struggling violently, emitting a loud humming sound.
Chen Ye's expression darkened as he tightened his grip.
Crack!
The golden staff instantly shattered, turning into a pile of broken fragments that scattered onto the ground.
Ba Liming, who had just arrived, witnessed the scene and his eyes lit up with astonishment.
He stared at Chen Ye in shock.
"Who dares?!"
On the other side, the Monkey King seemed to have sensed his weapon being destroyed and let out a terrifying roar of fury.
Chen Ye glanced at the shattered remains of the golden staff and curled his lips in disdain.
So it really wasn't the real thing!
It had broken with just a squeeze.
No wonder even that frail scholar had managed to break it before.
Then, Chen Ye started walking toward the Beast King.
When Sun Wukong finally got a good look at Chen Ye's face, his expression changed drastically, and he instinctively backed away in fear.
"Why is it you?!"
