1531 Traveling Buddha Solos the Fire Gibbon!
Without a single word, Traveling Buddha had raised the huge rock and sent it flying straight for the mountain peak.

An explosion echoed in the air, and they saw the black silhouette of a large creature sail through the air, wrapped in a powerful force as he landed heavily on the ground.

*Rumble*

Flame Mountain’s peak instantly collapsed in on itself. Abodes that imitated those of humans were constructed on the peak, both houses and palaces. Almost half of them had now collapsed, and the beasts who could not dodge in time found themselves squashed like meat pancakes. The scene was an absolutely horrible mess.

“You two damned humans, do you not wish to like?!”

“Lord Blaze will immediately come and take your lives!”

“Don’t you flee if you’ve got the guts!”

There were still beasts standing atop the mountain yelling down. They were all in their original beast forms now, turning from their two-meter-tall humanoid forms into powerful wild beasts dozens of meters tall. Their fur grew everywhere on them, and they were threatening Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan through bared teeth.

It was a real pity that the threats of the beasts were completely disregarded by Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha. They were perfectly calm, climbing their way up the mountain while admiring the view.

Traveling Buddha did not have a good temper, so it did not take long before he was again annoyed by the beasts on the mountain peak. Lifting his right hand, he shot a beam of golden light endlessly into the horizon, the sounds of lightning, wind, and thunder accompanying him.

*Boom!*

All the beasts dodged everywhere, but there was still one among them who was unlucky enough to be hit by the blast. He ended up having his body blown apart, and was turned into a rain of blood and gore.

*Bang bang bang!*

Traveling Buddha continually raised his hand to aim at the beasts, shooting out the Killer Buddha’s Golden Light. It was simply too fast, hitting at close to light speed. There was no way to evade the shots, and so in the blink of an eye, over twenty of the beasts were taken out, none of their bodies were left intact. Pretty much all of them were blown to bits!

By the time the two of them reached the peak, the big base of the apes was already in a terrible state, ruins everywhere and the ground pooled with blood and parts of bodies.

The surviving beasts were shaken, their massive bodies trembling uncontrollably. They were desperately racing toward the forest in an attempt to escape, as only people who had truly fought against Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan realized just what was so frightening about them. These two were not only high-ranked, but their special abilities were synergistic. Battle Buddha’s Golden Light and Speed were without a doubt a very deadly combo!

“Quick, flee! These humans are too ruthless!”

“Where is Lord Blaze? Quick come and save us!”

The sapient beasts were completely overwhelmed by Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha, and were incapable of retaliating at all. They all hoped that the Fire Gibbon King would immediately appear and stop Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha’s fierce assault.

The Fire Gibbon soon appeared. He was wearing a human-made battlesuit, his red fur fluttering in the air. His eyes were cold, and there was a thick layer of killing intent about him. He stared at Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha from a distance away.

Traveling Buddha raised his head and said, “We heard you were looking for us, so we came!”

The collective wails and cries from sapient beasts could be heard all around them, the bodies of the Fire Gibbon’s underlings were strewn all over the place. Even the palace that he had personally constructed on the mountain peak was in ruins.

It was an utterly tragic scene. The old Fire Gibbon instantly sucked in a mouth of cold air and let loose a ferocious howl, the red fur all over his body standing on end.

Never in his wildest calculations did he think that these two humans would be so bold as to kill their way to his lair! To make an even greater mockery out of things, the reason Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha had made their way here had been at the request of the Fire Gibbon himself!

“You two cubs won’t be leaving with your lives intact after coming here today!” the Fire Gibbon roared at them, totally enraged.

His entire body began to burn intensely, as bright red flames immediately shot to the clouds with an explosive boom.

The special ability the Fire Gibbon had was very similar to Traveling Buddha’s. While Traveling Buddha had golden light imbuing his body, the Fire Gibbon had flames doing the same. His special ability was called Divine Flame Burning Heaven, and was considered one of the best special abilities of the Fire-type.

The frightening flame shot into the skies. They watched as the Fire Gibbon gently raised his arms and a pillar of flame pierced through the air, headed right for Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha. The mountain forest began to catch fire, yet while Traveling Buddha’s Golden Light was unable to penetrate the Fire Gibbon’s flames, the flames from the Gibbon King similarly could not harm Traveling Buddha’s actual body.

*Kaboom!*

A monster that was emitting golden light all over against a monster with a fiery glow all around his body; the two promptly clashed! It was an absolutely terrifying scene to behold, the two abilities seemingly canceling each other out when they clashed, generating the crackling sounds of multiple explosions.

This was a very powerful close-combat fight between both sides, as neither of the monsters with their imbued attributes were willing to back down. They traded blows with each other, neither wanting to give an inch to the other as they fought from the Flame Mountain peak all the way down to its base, the ground to cracking and crumbling wherever they went!

Xia Fan frowned. No wonder the Fire Gibbon had dared to threaten them; it turned out that his strength was comparable to that of Traveling Buddha’s! Since the Fire Gibbon was emitting intense flames from his body right now, Xia Fan also had a very hard time getting close to him, and would probably get badly burnt if he attempted an attack right now. After all, Xia Fan was no Traveling Buddha, and he did not have any Golden Light to protect himself with.

“This Little Old Buddha shall be the death of you!” Traveling Buddha roared out a shout that shook the very skies!

The Holy Buddha Clan’s Little Old Buddha was indifferent by nature, and aside from his fondness for brewing a good pot of tea, he did not have any interests in anything else whatsoever. But, that did not mean Traveling Buddha had a good temper. He simply did not care.

But at this moment, Traveling Buddha had suddenly grown angry, unleashing a wave of forceful attacks. His fists were firing rapidly, his Golden Light shining so brightly that it lit up the land and sky, covering them in his terrifying power. This was Traveling Buddha’s typical tactic, utilizing his gold-enshrouded body to clash against his enemies. The harder the Fire Gibbon fought back, the more Traveling Buddha would match and go even further!

The barrage of attacks was like a torrent of gold forcing the Fire Gibbon to retreat, step by step, until he was pushed into a position by the edge of a bottomless cliff.

“Die for me!” Traveling Buddha bellowed as the Fire Gibbon widened his eyes. There was a drastic change in his expression after facing Traveling Buddha’s crazy assault. He could hear the wind howling in his ears as the hardened fists of Traveling Buddha did not relent, continuing their repeated punches!

*Kaboom*

The two landed on the ground in unison. The powerful impact created a crater over a kilometer wide. Deep inside it, the sound of punches were still audible. Traveling Buddha was like a combat robot, still pummeling away with his fists. If a hundred punches were not enough, then a thousand would be thrown!

No matter what, today would be the day the Fire Gibbon was put into the grave!

Xia Fan stood by the lip of the crater, shaking his head slightly. When Traveling Buddha was enraged, it was no different from a Buddha being enraged. There was practically no way to stop him. It was the Fire Gibbon who had made a devastating miscalculation when he thought to pit himself against Traveling Buddha’s defenses.

In no time at all, the intense flame that covered the Fire Gibbon’s body had disappeared. That exposed the Gibbon’s body, which was very quickly turned into a battered corpse under Traveling Buddha’s crazed assault!

…

Still shrouded in his Light, Traveling Buddha flicked his hands clean of blood and got up, looking to Xia Fan with a nonchalant expression, “To think this scum even thought he could compete in toughness. He must have gone mad!”

Xia Fan shrugged. “Quick collect the beast crystals, then we can head back for dinner.”

And so they began collecting all the beast crystals. The sapient beasts of Flame Mountain had already been frightened witless. Never in their worst nightmares had they thought Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan would be so fierce and brutal, and were actually capable of killing the old Fire Gibbon!

Hidden Water watched everything quietly, a smitten smile on her face. Ever since they were acquainted with each other, she felt that Traveling Buddha was like Xia Fan’s younger brother, always listening to whatever Xia Fan told him, and his combat strength was nowhere as strong as Xia Fan’s.

But today’s battle had been about Traveling Buddha soloing the Fire Gibbon, and the ferocious might he displayed in his big and tall frame was deeply etched in Hidden Water’s mind. She admired Traveling Buddha to the extreme.

“Though he doesn’t usually speak a lot, when it come to actual combat, he’s still rather impressive!” Hidden Water foolishly giggled to herself.

“They are about to come back, I should go prepare food for them,” Hidden Water told Hidden Wind.

Hidden Wind had watched everything, and could not help but shake his head slightly.

*Kaboom!*

Another huge explosion could be heard from the sky, as the terrifying sound of thunder and lightning echoed. The sky became gloomy as the entire planet instantly dimmed, as if the apocalypse was here.

“Ah, the planet split again. I wonder how much longer can God Metropolis hold on,” Hidden Wind muttered to himself, knitting his eyebrows together.
