“It’s fine.” Earth-Rooster winked at Earth-Monkey. “You don’t need to feel inferior about your appearance.”
“Fuck, me inferior? I was fine before I met you two. Now I’m really going to feel inferior.” Earth-Monkey waved his hand. “After I get out, I’ll shave my beard, comb my hair, and wash my face. Can you say less for now?”
After saying this, he cleared his throat and spat on the ground again.
Earth-Rooster felt this didn’t seem like a problem that shaving and washing could solve.
As soon as the words fell, the two “Heaven-level” attacked again.
Several medium-sized ore stones suddenly flew through the room, and some thin vines wrapped around the two “Earth-level” bodies.
Everyone exchanged fists and kicks. Although the young man and woman before them looked frail, every move they made seemed like they had been trained before. Earth-Rooster was quickly knocked to the ground, and after Earth-Monkey held out for a while, he was also sent flying.
“Fuck…” Earth-Monkey rolled to his feet on the ground. “They seem to be stronger than before…”
Earth-Rooster also stood up at this moment. She looked at the state of those two “Heaven-level” and felt that “Rage” had accumulated to a certain degree. Then she looked toward Earth-Monkey and winked at him.
Earth-Monkey nodded, cleared his throat, and said to the two “Heaven-level” before him: “Hey, can you two really do this or not? Heavenly-Monkey, setting aside the ‘Twin Flowers’ on you that you don’t even know how to use, you have one ‘Original Object’ and one ‘Wild Growth,’ plus Heavenly-Rooster’s ‘Clever Object’ and ‘Lush Wood’… Each of these skills sounds like they’re designed to work together, so how come when you fight it’s like child’s play? With so many ‘Immortal Arts,’ you still haven’t seriously injured us two.”
“Earlier we were careless…” Heavenly-Monkey said. “It won’t happen again… Right?”
She looked toward Heavenly-Rooster, but found that Heavenly-Rooster’s expression never looked very good. He stared at Earth-Monkey’s eyes, as if he had some apprehension.
“Heavenly-Rooster, won’t you use your ‘trump card’ yet?” Heavenly-Monkey said. “These two people aren’t easy to deal with… They seem to have…”
Heavenly-Monkey felt that fighting these two was inexplicably frustrating. As soon as that Earth-Rooster touched her, it would disrupt her “Conviction,” and that Earth-Monkey seemed able to predict which “Immortal Art” she was about to use, allowing him to dodge in advance.
Even the most obtuse person would now feel that these two “Earth-level” were unusual. They clearly carried some invisible “Immortal Art.”
Could it be that in all these years from “Human-level” to “Earth-level,” not a single person had ever discovered the abnormality about them?
“My ‘trump card’… right now…” Heavenly-Rooster still looked troubled. “Heavenly-Monkey, why don’t you first release the ‘Twin Flowers’…”
“Release the ‘Twin Flowers’… What do you mean?” Heavenly-Monkey frowned. “Do you think I’ve gotten too injured and am dragging you down?”
“No…” After hearing this, Heavenly-Rooster also became somewhat annoyed. “I’ve also been injured, which was also fed back to you. This means we’ve received double the damage, which isn’t conducive to fighting…”
“That’s not what you said when you cast ‘Twin Flowers’!” Heavenly-Monkey shouted. “You said connecting together would allow us to better experience the unity of yin and yang. Now you’re telling me to release it?”
“Can you focus on the main point…” Heavenly-Rooster also raised his voice. “Don’t you want to defeat them?!”
“Yo yo yo yo.” Earth-Monkey laughed. “Young folks, don’t quarrel. When we first came in, you two even spoke in sync. Now how come you’re each arguing your own way? Breaking up on the spot?”
Seeing Earth-Monkey fan the flames, Earth-Rooster also laughed: “Don’t talk nonsense! Their relationship is great. Right now, heart connected to heart, life connected to life. If one dies, both die. This bond is much deeper than ours.”
“Oh? Really?” Earth-Monkey laughed. “Then I misunderstood. I thought they’d fallen out.”
Listening to Earth-Monkey and Earth-Rooster sing in harmony, Heavenly-Rooster and Heavenly-Monkey’s expressions became even more gloomy.
“But little sister Heavenly-Monkey is truly puzzling.” Earth-Rooster folded her arms across her chest. “A perfectly good ‘Twin Flowers,’ how come you only know ‘Life Connection’? Doesn’t this thing have many wonderful uses? Heal your wounds, make us get injured.”
“You…” Heavenly-Monkey looked quite angry. The anger she already couldn’t suppress became even stronger now. “Do you two think that being able to injure us means you can defeat ‘Heaven’?”
“That’s right.” Earth-Rooster nodded. “If we can injure you, we can kill you. Now your two lives are still connected together. It really saves this sister effort.”
“You delusional old men and old women truly disgust me…” Heavenly-Monkey said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this sentence, Earth-Monkey gasped and hurriedly waved frantically at Heavenly-Monkey.
Heavenly-Monkey frowned: “What? Why are you waving at me?”
“You foolish child!” Earth-Monkey said nervously. “It doesn’t matter how you comment on my appearance, but you…”
“Shut up…” Veins bulged on Earth-Rooster’s forehead, but her expression was still a sweet smile. “Little thing, you called me an ‘old woman’…?”
“You have such a strange face—how would I know your age?” Heavenly-Monkey said with an angry laugh, that delicate face already full of rage. “Old sister… No matter how you think about it, you can’t possibly be younger than me, right? I’d actually like to ask you, do you need to apply primer when you put makeup on your feathers?”
Earth-Rooster nodded: “Good, good, good… From now on, no one else move. I’ll go tear this little bitch’s mouth apart myself.”
As soon as the words fell, she rushed forward and fought with Heavenly-Monkey without any method whatsoever. The two grabbed each other’s hair, both looking extremely angry.
Earth-Rooster completely disregarded her image, repeatedly saying “This old lady will show you whether I wear primer or not.” She found an opportunity and scratched three bloody marks on Heavenly-Monkey’s face. Fresh blood immediately spilled from Heavenly-Rooster’s face on the side as well.
“Ah!!” He shouted in panic. “Heavenly-Monkey! Quickly release the ‘Twin Flowers’!”
“You…” Heavenly-Monkey shouted while grappling with Earth-Rooster, “Heavenly-Rooster, if you don’t use that damned ‘trump card’ of yours… I’ll definitely drag you to death with me…”
Earth-Monkey watched the two with interest, then gave Heavenly-Rooster a look: “Young fellow, I think you should display it.”
“You… what do you know…” Heavenly-Rooster said through gritted teeth. “If I display my ability, it’ll be… troublesome…”
“Troublesome how?” Earth-Monkey said. “You want to release the ‘Twin Flowers’ and save your own life, but Heavenly-Monkey refuses. You should know that too, right? Right now, you two can no longer maintain the same frequency. She’s much more furious than you, even her ‘Conviction’ has been affected. Continuing to stay connected will only result in one plus one being less than two.”
After hearing this, Heavenly-Rooster clearly began to hesitate.
