The people from the Nine Provinces only knew that spiritual beasts were usually differentiated by their physical sizes and species.
A massive body, as well as a rare high-quality bloodline, would determine a ferocious beast's battle prowess. A commonly seen monkey like Lu Zhiruo's would have limited power even if they could use simple weapons.
Therefore, Liu Mingdeng didn't take the monkey that had been squatting on Lu Zhiruo's shoulder seriously. However, the moment the battle started, he realized that his judgment was a little wrong.
This thing was very fast!
Swoosh!
Liu Mingdeng moved his head and dodged the attack. At the same time, he slashed out with his longsword, wanting to chop off this monkey's head. However, it did an agile somersault, avoiding the slash. Moreover, the stone spear pierced toward Liu Mingdeng's eyes once again.
Steady, accurate, vicious, not holding back at all.
