Chapter 20: The Cautious God of Wealth

"Is the combat power of the Monkey Kingdom’s top levels really this strong?"

Su Wen stood outside the city, watching the battle scene above, his lips twitching slightly.

Comparing himself, he realized he had underestimated the Monkey Kingdom’s top-tier combat power.

Initially, he thought there was a Black Coin Monkey between the Copper Coin Monkey and the Silver Coin Monkey.

So, between the Silver Coin Monkey and the Gold Coin Monkey, there should be another type of monkey.

The Silver Coin Monkey was an ordinary Level One, and that intermediate monkey should be at the peak of Level One.

The Gold Coin Monkey was at most Level Two!

Still, he figured it probably wasn’t as strong as him.

After all, he had gone through two Level Ups, and his Foundational Body Refinement Technique 2.0 had reached a state of perfection and mastery.

In the future timeline, Du Baihua had managed to break through to become a third-tier warrior using the Foundational Body Refinement Technique 2.0.

Sure, Du Baihua’s breakthrough likely involved external factors like rare treasures, guidance from powerful beings, and his own insight…

But the potential of the Foundational Body Refinement Technique 2.0 was undeniable.

Most importantly, if he really couldn’t beat the Gold Coin Monkey, he could always use the means of attack left by the Star God!

But what was happening right in front of him?

The shockwaves from the battle were nearly tearing apart Monkey King City—was he really sure he wanted to jump into this?

Could the white chess piece left by the Star God really handle this?

What if his trump card, the white chess piece, was casually shattered by the enemy? That would be beyond embarrassing.

"I remember the Star God saying his trials in the Arrow Realm involved killing a few minions and a minor general before he returned, right?"

"So… even if the Star God is incredibly strong, the means he left for me might only be enough to deal with a minor general, meaning it could at most crush the Silver Coin Monkey?"

"But I’ve already reached that level myself!"

"Maybe I should just leave?"

Su Wen fell into deep thought. Honestly, he had already gained a lot from entering the Arrow Realm.

On one hand, he had become a first-level God of Wealth.

On the other, he had become a Level Two warrior.

All in all, his gains far surpassed what the Star God had achieved during his trials in the Arrow Realm.

He had already profited enough; leaving now wouldn’t be a loss.

The danger on the other side was immense, and their power levels were off the charts—who knew if they were Third Level or even Fourth Rank?

With such a massive gap, it might be wiser to stay out of it.

Even a casual attack from them—or just the shockwaves—could be too much to handle if he got too close.

"Anger Liar, strike down the king and kill the ruler; today, you will die!"

As a cold voice rang out, a black lotus blossomed in the sky.

"Boom!"

The black lotus exploded, sending a massive shockwave that cleared the clouds from the sky.

The crimson figure was thrown back by the explosion, clearly hurt.

As the battle continued, the crimson figure began to falter, overwhelmed by the combined force of three powerful beings.

"Damn you, Yesa! How long are you going to just stand there and watch?"

The crimson figure’s energy spiked sharply, and he suddenly bellowed in rage.

"Coming, coming!"

A voice called out from the east.

Suddenly, a spear, accompanied by the sound of a dragon’s roar, shot through the air, knocking the golden figure aside.

"Anger Liar, as promised, I’ll take on Skew for you!"

A figure glowing with royal purple light joined the fray, grabbing the spear and clashing with the golden figure.

Instantly, the sky above Monkey King City was alive with fierce combat, with powerful moves that dazzled and shocked onlookers.

Even the most casual observer could see this was no staged fight; one of the powerful beings had already lost an arm, and blood was raining down on the city.

This was a real fight to the death!

"Men of the Black Flag Army, follow me into battle!"

A commanding shout rang out from above.

At the command, the soldiers stationed at Monkey King City formed ranks and charged forward.

"Is the general rebelling, leaving Monkey King City undefended?"

Su Wen looked at the deserted gates of Monkey King City and muttered, "Wait! Could there be more to this in the Arrow Realm?"

"This whole scenario feels like the fate bearer stepping in to help the good guys win."

He shook his head and chuckled.

In the future, the outcasts were supposed to escape the Arrow Realm.

This couldn’t just be some scripted event, could it?

And even if it was, there was nothing he could do about it right now!

"Let’s see how this plays out."

"If I can, I’ll take advantage of the chaos; if not, I’ll just make a quick exit."

"After all, leaving the Arrow Realm is just a thought away."

Su Wen concentrated, and the white chess piece appeared in his hand.

He pondered whether to test the white chess piece now.

It contained the power of the stars, and activating it could release sword energy, effectively turning it into a weapon.

Maybe he should try a strike towards the sky to see what happens?

"Wait a bit longer and see how things unfold."

At the same moment, on the other side.

"King, the God of Wealth is still here outside the city."

A monkey holding an Ancient Fan and resembling a human frowned and said, "If the God of Wealth doesn’t enter the city and come before us, we can’t make our move!"

Old Monkey watched the battle in the sky, seemingly ignoring Ancient Fan Monkey’s words.

After a moment, Old Monkey suddenly said, "You go too. Attack that Anger Liar with everything you’ve got; they aren’t suffering enough!"

Ancient Fan Monkey was momentarily taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

No sooner had he spoken than his figure vanished from the spot.

In the sky, with Ancient Fan Monkey’s addition, Anger Liar was being beaten terribly by Golden Light Monkey, his arms were chopped off, blood gushed continuously, his left leg was severed, and even one eye was gouged out.

With such a beating, Anger Liar was clearly feeling the pressure.

In the battlefield, who was suffering more than him?

As Anger Liar "erupted," other monkeys were being pushed back, their faces and bodies gradually becoming more and more battered.

But they were well aware that only by severely injuring themselves and putting themselves in a dangerous position could they lure the weaker God of Wealth into their trap.

"Why hasn’t the God of Wealth entered the city when things have gotten this bad?"

Anger Liar grumbled, taking hits while sending a thought message.

"Who knows?"

Ancient Fan Monkey replied, "He might be worried that we still have the strength to resist. It’s clear that the God of Wealth is very cautious."

"Then, Anger Liar, since things have gone this far, why don’t we take it a step further?"

Anger Liar felt a chill in his heart and asked, "How do we go further?"

For some reason, a feeling of unease surged within him.

"Split your head in half!"

Before the words finished, terrifying attacks surged toward Anger Liar.

In the next moment, his head was cleaved in two, and his broken body fell into the city, his aura extremely weak.

"The Monkey King is my dear friend. How could such a big event happen in the Monkey Kingdom without informing me?"

Suddenly, a tyrannical voice echoed from afar.

Below, Old Monkey’s pupils constricted, and his face turned a sickly pale.
