The shattered avatar transformed into a stream of air and swiftly flew toward the Monkey King, who absorbed it back into his body.

However, most of the mana had been destroyed and couldn't be recovered, so the majority of the mana consumed by this divine technique was lost.

"Still able to recover part of it, this divine technique is quite good."

Shen Wang became interested. In his perception, this avatar technique involved releasing a part of his own mana with a certain degree of autonomy to fight the enemy independently.

After completing its task, the mana could be reclaimed, reducing some of the consumption, making it a very exquisite divine technique.

"Roar!"

The avatar was destroyed, and the Monkey King let out an angry roar.

"Heh, you've gotten anxious. A monkey is just a monkey, lacking patience."

Shen Wang taunted, holding his saber.

"I will tear you apart."

The Monkey King was extremely furious. The blackness on his face intensified, and he suddenly felt dizzy and dazed.

Shen Wang's eyes glinted coldly as he had already closed in on the Monkey King.

He concentrated his power into a single strike, containing the evil qi, increasing the saber technique's destructive power to its peak, while stealthily injecting a trace of mana.

This slash was extremely fast, combining with Ghost Shadow Step, and in an instant, it struck at the Monkey King, whose voice was abruptly cut off, pupils contracting while hastily evading.

Shen Wang's saber was alive, immediately following up. At the moment of crisis, an iron rod appeared beneath the blade with a clang.

The blade sparked on impact, leaving a blood mark on the Monkey King's shoulder. With agile movements, he avoided his neck and blocked the weapon from Molan with his own.

For an ordinary Foundation Establishment or early-stage Golden Core cultivator, dodging this wouldn't be possible, but this guy managed to escape the crisis, quickly gaining distance, preparing for the next clash with Shen Wang.

Shen Wang frowned as layers of saber light fiercely slashed out over a hundred times, yet he still couldn't take him down.

Molan saw an opportunity and joined in the attack from the side, making it even harder for the Monkey King to cope, causing him to cry out in anger repeatedly.

Just as Shen Wang was contemplating whether to reveal his cultivation to kill this guy, the Monkey King suddenly turned to escape, darting into the forest, leaving behind a mouthful of toxic blood.

This was because the Monkey King, with his blood surging and the poison attacking his heart, couldn't suppress Molan's poison. Seeing that Shen Wang's skills were no joke, he decisively chose to flee.

The Monkey King's speed was incredibly fast. Shen Wang pursued for a hundred meters, realizing he couldn't deal with this agile monkey for the moment and chose to stop and return.

Molan also stopped and glanced at Shen Wang: "I didn't expect your skills to be so strong."

"I have even greater skills than this."

Shen Wang pouted, muttering: "The monkey's reaction is indeed quick. Even after being poisoned, it's so agile. No wonder it has the spiritual monkey lineage."

"Yes, it's naturally equipped with spiritual eyes and ears, able to see six sides and hear eight directions. Not to mention cultivating telescopic eyes and clairaudience, it's already much stronger than us human race cultivators."

Molan naturally stated, carrying a hint of caution: "If it weren't poisoned, reducing its strength significantly, it would truly be troublesome."

"This guy will definitely hold a grudge."

Shen Wang narrowed his eyes. When the adversary fled, it was with a gaze full of resentment and unwillingness.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Let it hold a grudge. Let's hurry and pick the peaches and meet up with the others, so we don't have to fear it."

Molan performed a hand seal, and a circle of black airflow spread out, hidden nearby.

Shen Wang noticed she was releasing poison. The Monkey King probably fell victim to this tactic.

"I'm going to break the array."

He didn't watch further and swiftly approached the Peach Garden, performing hand seals to guide runes into corresponding nodes.

An array is a special structure composed of both energy and physical components, with its foundation at the base level being runes.

The runes he cast were akin to a password that could unravel the complex array structure, allowing specific sections to be opened. Once the opened sections reached a certain level, the array could be opened without using violence.

In other words, he was essentially unlocking the door. Whether breaking it down forcefully or using a key, the effort required is naturally different. Sometimes, if the door is too tough, even brute force wouldn't work.

"I didn't know your array skills were so high; I wasn't aware before."

Molan, who was setting up a Poison Array, was quite surprised to see Shen Wang adeptly break the array.

She thought that even if this guy had deep foundations, given he'd spent some time studying the Poison Dao, it was unexpected for him to have such skills in arrays too.

"I didn't tell you I didn't understand arrays. However, please don't spread the word that my array skills are high."

Shen Wang specifically mentioned this, not wanting his array ability to be leaked; otherwise, the Sixth Prince might suspect he tampered with the Dragon Ship Array.

"I'm not one to gossip."

Molan said flatly: "How long until you break through? I feel that monkey will soon draw in other demons."

"Half a cup of tea's time."

Shen Wang casually replied that the array here wasn't too complex. Although it had connections with the overall array here, it still couldn't stop him.

"Then hurry up. If that guy comes back, he surely won't be alone."

Molan said.

Shen Wang nodded, deftly unraveling layers of array runes. The barriers obstructing him began to warp.

In less than half a minute, he disengaged one node and proceeded to the second. At least two nodes needed to be opened to provide enough space for them to pass through.

Just halfway through this, a sharp howl suddenly echoed from the forest: "You didn't leave, so die here!"

The Monkey King charged out, followed by a Tiger Demon and numerous Great and Small Demons, and judging by the Tiger Demon's strength, it was also a Demon King.
