Breaking the barrier

The baby-fire monkey momentarily froze in its tracks as it was panic-stricken by the sudden appearance of its enemy in front of it.

Moreover, its body was completely covered in blood from the previous cuts from the outer sect disciple's sword.

"Little monkey, you have the potential to break through the limits of a normal fire monkey; however, I am going to kill you now,"

While saying that, he struck his sword at the baby fire monkey, which was frozen in its tracks and it closed its eyes as it was already tired from dodging the sword strikes from the outer sect disciple.

'Boom'

Just when the sword strike was able to land on the baby-fire monkey, a huge explosion came from the above.

"What is it? Am I discovered by some high-level outer sect disciple or an elder?"

Without a second thought, he immediately moved away from the baby-fire monkey and ran away into a tunnel inside the small canyon.
