Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 825

Caroline, the phoenix, felt relieved to see the monkey.

"Help me get rid of him!" she said in a sharp voice.

As soon as the scarlet figure saw the monkey coming, his attacks on the phoenix grew fiercer. He could sense the monkey's strong aura.

But the monkey didn't move immediately.

"If I help you, that means you'll write off your grudge on me," he bargained.

"Come on, monkey! It's not the time to talk about this. Help me out first, or I'll die here!" the phoenix shouted. Her anxiety was skyrocketing.

"Well then, I take it you agree to my terms." The monkey grinned.

He then muttered under his breath, "Devastation Skill!"

Boom!

The ground beneath them began to tremble as the monkey's power began to take effect. A shining stick covered in runes dropped from the sky. The sight of it made the blood red figure nervous.

With a mighty blast that was powerful enough to break the sky, it rushed towards the figure.

The blood red figure threw his long spear into the air. It instantly multiplied into a thousand spears, trying to fend off the incoming blow.

As the two were locked in battle, Caroline turned into a ray of light and charged towards the blood red figure.

Her pair of wings were sharper than swords, and she used them to stab at the blood red figure. Her attacks were like burning flames pouring out in torrents.

The blood red figure turned furious. A bright scarlet light exploded from his body and he directed it towards Caroline with the intention of hitting her.

Then the monkey suddenly appeared behind the blood red figure.

He bent the stick and started attacking the figure.

The entire area began collapsing. The stick disintegrated into a million shadows, raining down upon the blood red figure.

Bang!

The blood red figure blasted the phoenix with a powerful blow. She fell to the ground upon impact. At the same time, the monkey's stick made contact with the figure, throwing him backwards.

He would have crashed into the cliff if his body wasn't weighed down by eight iron chains wrapped around him.

"Damn it." His voice was cold and hoarse, mixed with fury.

He knew that he didn't have a chance against two such powerful people at the same time. It left him no choice but to flee the battle. "You have ruined all my plans! Just you wait. In a month, I will return and I will kill you!" he threatened before gradually disappearing.

"What?" The monkey tried to get one last strike on the figure, but it was already too late. He was gone.

"It's useless. The chains around him is a divine weapon that suppresses him and protects him at the same time. Since we can't see him now, we won't be able to attack him. Let's go."

Now that they were out of danger, Caroline flew up.

With the stick over his shoulder, the monkey followed suit.

As soon as Caroline landed, she transformed back into her human shape.

Her body was covered with wounds and her hair was a mess. It embarrassed her to be seen like this. Her proud stance was gone and she looked defeated.

"Hey, are you dying?"

The monkey landed beside her.

"This is none of your business," Caroline replied icily. Meanwhile, she let her body heal on its own.

"Come on! Shouldn't you be thanking me? After all, this is the first time I saved someone." And indeed, the monkey was telling the truth. This was the first time he saved a person instead of killing them.

"Let me remind you that you owe me. I don't need to thank you when you're only repaying your debt," Caroline snapped.

The monkey laughed. "Ha-ha, you are right. From now on, we're even." He slung his stick back on his shoulder and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

Caroline reluctantly called out.

"What's wrong?" The monkey turned around.

"Take me back to my home. My phoenix elixir is injured and it'll take me a month to recover."

It was obvious that Caroline was severely wounded. And when she flew out of the place, she had completely used up all her remaining strength. Now, she could barely move at all. She would probably keel over if she took any more steps, let alone fly back to her home by herself.

"Are you that badly hurt?" the monkey asked.

"If it isn't obvious, I won't even bother asking you to take me back home," she snapped.

"Aren't you afraid that I might kill you like this?" The monkey grinned, revealing rows of sharp teeth. His face looked ferocious.

"You…"

Caroline couldn't find the right words to retort back at him. It hit her that there was no way she could probably trust him.
