Heifeng Guai

"Who dares to barge in here as if this is his own room?" She fumes, speaking to the bear beside her.

"Boss! Let me handle him!" He immediately responds, leaping in front of Wukong with his katana drawn.

"You! How dare you charge in here! Now there's no one to save you!" He threatens, poised to strike Wukong's head with his katana.

Wukong grabs the blade of the katana and pushes the monster away.

The bear is surprised, not expecting the second strongest individual after the boss to be hindered by a mere soldier.

He looks at Wukong's face and sees her sticking her tongue out as if taunting him.

"You..." gritting his teeth, he intends to strike again.

"Stop!" A voice from behind speaks out, causing him to pause and turn to look at the boss.

"Boss! He dared to insult me!"

"Shut up" she says coldly and sternly, making him break out in a cold sweat.

Then she looks at Wukong, who is disguised as one of her soldiers.

"You're good at concealing your power and energy, stranger."

"Hehe, tricking you from the beginning, does that count as a plus?" Wukong returns to her original form, standing arrogantly as she looks at her.

"If you want to, but I'm afraid you don't need to" she stands up this time, walking down.

"My name is Heifeng, what's yours?" She walks in front of Wukong, and because they are of equal height, facing each other feels like they're both exerting equal pressure.

"I don't think you deserve to know my name" she quickly responds, truly indifferent to who the enemy is.

"You're quite arrogant, you know? Tell me, what are you doing here?" She doesn't yield either, staring straight at Wukong.

"Hehe, where's the fun in telling you?" she continues playfully, not taking it seriously at all.

"YOU DAMNED MONKEY! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO?!!" At this point, the bear interrupts, shouting in Wukong's face.

"I don't know and I don't want to know," Wukong lazily replies.

"Then I'll tell you!"

"Oi, I said I don't want to know already, didn't I?"

"Boss's name is Heifeng Guai, often referred to by the monster world as the Black Demon Wind! She's a demon, a more powerful evolved species of monster!"

"Since birth in the Black Bear clan, she's considered much stronger than her own kind!" He continues to boast about Heifeng, although both Wukong and Heifeng are not very interested.

Suddenly, Heifeng's nose catches something.

"You... why do you smell like my little brother?"

"Huh?" Wukong is confused, not understanding what she's talking about.

"Although it's faint, I'm certain, have you had any dealings with my little brother?"

"If I did, so what? Planning revenge or something?" Although she doesn't know, it's not very important because she's killed so many enemies that she's used to forgetting who they are.

"If you killed my little brother, then thank you."

"...what?" Wukong looks puzzled at her.

At this point, she starts explaining "My little brother is considered a failure of our clan, unable even to use language. It's nothing but humiliation to me as his elder sister."

"Your sibling bond is truly touching, you know?" Wukong mocks.

"It doesn't matter now that he's dead. It actually relieves some pressure for me" she sneers, not caring much.

But then she looks at Wukong again, this time with a more serious expression.

"But my brother still belonged to our clan. If he died by someone with no reputation, it would surely be the greatest humiliation for our clan."

She begins to radiate purple energy, causing objects around her to be pushed against the walls.

Wukong is now serious as well. She really isn't in the mood for a fight because her master and younger sister are still at the temple, but she won't hesitate if there's danger.

'...Level 5 huh?, not weak but not strong either' she begins to assess the enemy's strength.

'Using half my strength is enough!' Wukong boasts with an arrogant smile, completely ignoring any authority.

"Oh, let me remind you of one thing," Heifeng says this time, looking at Wukong.

"Never judge by appearances, she starts to smile sinisterly, then immediately disappears.

"!!" Wukong is surprised, suddenly feeling an arm preparing to collide with her face.

*Bump!!

"Ouch! What was that?!" The monsters startle awake, looking around.

Nearby, the dust clears, revealing a girl sitting down on a shattered wall.

"I have to say, you're quite tough," Heifeng remarks, walking over and flexing her arm.

Meanwhile, Wukong was genuinely surprised.

It wasn't that she misjudged the enemy—after all, she had the ability to assess their astrological signs. However, there was one thing she couldn't see.

"Power..." Wukong murmured, looking at her own hand.

At this moment, Wukong was bleeding from her nose. It had been a long time since someone with such physical strength had come along to break through her defenses.

She had always been proud of her physical defense (but magical defense is weak), and now someone had injured her. And for some reason, her energy was stuck and couldn't be used.

"...hehehaHaHAHAHA!!" Wukong laughs loudly.

Heifeng looks at Wukong laughing and thinks she must have hit her head too hard that she go insane.

Then, Wukong stands up and looks at Heifeng, her eyes now glowing red.

Heifeng sense that something is wrong and goes on the defensive.

*BUMP!!!

A punch hits her stomach, sending her flying.

"Huh?" The bear with the katana sees Heifeng flying towards him and tries to catch her... but the punch was too strong, and he goes flying too.

*CRASH!!

The sound of breaking stone echoes, dispersing dust around.

Blood drips onto the ground, but it's not Heifeng's blood.

Heifeng gets up and sees the bear with a dislocated jaw and broken arm, his blood drop from his mouth.

Then she looks at Wukong.

"I seem to have overestimated myself a bit."

"Quite right, and that last blow was payback for you" Wukong responds with a mischievous grin.

"Your physical strength is quite commendable. Perhaps it has something to do with the explanation from your attendant" Wukong asks, pulling out her staff.

"So you don't listen, huh? I thought you had ears or something" Heifeng taunts.

"At least it's better than being overconfident in your own strength without knowing who you're really fighting" Wukong retorts.

They look at each other for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"hahahaha"

"gihihihaha"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

"GIHIHIHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

The two girls charge at each other, beginning their battle to the death.
