Chapter 184: Chapter 162 Battle with the Beast King_1
At the same time that a black shadow appeared around the old woman’s body, the Bai’s Martial Marquis also stood up.
His body was also enveloped in black fog, constantly emitting crackling sounds, and the bones broken by the punch of the giant red ape were being quickly reset and healed.
Similarly, a black shadow also emerged from him.
From what could be detected, the black shadow around the old woman took the form of a giant insect, resembling a praying mantis.
The black shadow emanating from Bai’s Martial Marquis, on the other hand, was the form of a double-headed wolf.
Roar!
On seeing the figures of the two, the giant ape let out a massive roar that shook the area for dozens of miles around.
Up ahead, Lu Yan was in full flight, in search of Dao food. All of a sudden, the roar of the giant ape reached his ears, making his heart tremble and his body frost over.
"Such a roar, could it be from a Rank Three Monster King? This is not good, I must leave quickly."
No longer worrying about the Dao food, Lu Yan turned and rushed towards the outskirts, crossing the Crimson Jade Flower Sea and charging madly towards the outside of Kunwu Mountain.
It wasn’t just Lu Yan who had heard the ape’s roar. Everyone within dozens of miles in Kunwu Mountain heard it, their faces changing instantly.
"This sound, like thunder roaring, furious as fire, and an intimidating force. Could it be a Rank Three Monster King?"
"Did someone offend the Rank Three Monster King? Otherwise, why would it be so angry?"
"The Rank Three Monster King wouldn’t really come out, would it? Should we retreat first?"
"It shouldn’t be. The Grandmasters have a the agreement with the Rank Three Monster Kings. While the Grandmasters do not step foot into Kunwu Mountain, the Rank Three Monster Kings from Kunwu Mountain cannot attack us. Maybe someone ignored their warnings, entered the Crimson Jade Flower Sea, and enraged the Rank Three Monster King."
Many people were discussing.
The more timid ones started to retreat to the outskirts, ready to leave in case the Rank Three Monster King broke its prohibition. They would be received by Grandmasters on the outside.
The more daring ones did not retreat, but they have heightened their alertness.
....
The crimson-giant ape was flying out, attacking the old woman again. His red fists fell with fierce force.
The impact stirred up sand and stones.
The old woman tried to dodge with her agility, but she couldn’t keep up with the giant ape’s speed. She braced herself for the hit.
Her body was enveloped in black mist and a cold aura. Her arms deformed causing her arms to resemble the claws of a praying mantis striking at the giant ape.
The praying mantis-like shadow also sprang out from her.
Bang!
The old woman, along with the praying mantis shadow, was swatted away by the giant ape’s hit.
But a wound appeared on the giant ape’s chest.
The wound was caused by the attack of the mantis shadow. The ape with its diamond-like toughness could not withstand the attack of the mantis shadow.
The wound made the giant ape even more furious. It roared, and a vast amount of Energy of Earth Blood gathered around it.
The already bulky and robust body of the giant ape swelled again, making it look as if it was covered by a layer of red-colored battle armor. Its aura became even more terrifying.
Bang!
With a leap, the giant ape jumped fifty meters high and smashed its enormous foot down on the old woman from above.
"We must join forces, join forces against him."
The old woman screamed in fear.
Bang!
The next second, she was trampled under the foot of the giant ape. Her body exploded into pieces, and even her Martial Spirit’s strong life force couldn’t restore her.
Only the praying mantis shadow remained, trying to flee to the distance.
But it was caught by the giant ape, its fists the size of water vats, continuously hammering down.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The ground was pounded into a giant pit, and the mantis shadow completely dissipated under the brute and relentless attack.
Bai’s Martial Marquis stood aghast, daring not to make a move. He turned around and ran.
But he didn’t get far before a huge claw fell, smashing him into the mud.
The owner of this claw was a large white tiger.
It stood three meters tall and nearly ten meters long.
Another Rank Three Monster King.
This Rank Three Monster King obviously came after hearing the roar of the giant ape, and coincidentally intercepted Bai’s Martial Marquis.
Bang! Bang! ....
The White Tiger Monster King was continually smashing him with its claws, attacking him for more than a dozen times in a row. It brutally pulverized Bai’s Martial Marquis into a bloody pulp, and even the black shadow of his wolf spirit was dissipated.
Roar! Roar...
The crimson giant ape roared at the White Tiger Monster King, as if narrating something.
The White Tiger Monster King looked at the corpse of the leopard Monster King and let out an angry roar.
Next, the two Rank Three Monster Kings rushed towards the humans outside the Crimson Jade Flower Sea, targeting the human Martial Cultivators.
"No good, the Rank Three Monster King is coming."
Someone’s face changed drastically, turning to run.
But how could they compete with a Rank Three Monster King?
The Crimson Giant Ape, with a few leaps, caught up with a human Martial Cultivator and smashed a punch.
This human Martial Cultivator had strong abilities, second only to those who exist on the Martial Marquis List, but he could not even stand one attack and exploded under the giant ape’s punch.
Then the giant ape searched for something through the pile of flesh and blood but found nothing. So it roared in anger and rushed onwards.
The White Tiger Monster King went in a different direction.
The two Monster Kings, burning with rage, swept across the forest like a tide.
"Run quickly, the Rank Three Monster Kings have gone mad."
"Quick, go ask for the help of the Grandmaster."
All the people in that area were running for their lives, rushing outwards.
But no matter how quickly they ran, how could they be quicker than a Rank Three Monster King?
Moreover, this was happening inside a Blood Land Vein.
Soon, the two level three monster kings caught up with the human cultivators respectively.
The red giant ape caught up with the two human cultivators and started to smash them with its fists.
These two human cultivators were extremely strong. They were high up in the Martial Marquis List.
One of them has cultivated three bone strengths, while the other one has cultivated four bone strengths.
In the face of the red giant ape, the two men chose to join forces, exerting their utmost power with a single blow.
With two thuds, the Martial Marquis who had cultivated three bone strengths, was blown away dozens of meters, hitting several large trees, his face pale as he coughed up a significant amount of blood.
The Martial Marquis who had cultivated only slightly better, having four bone strengths, retreated by a few tens of meters, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.
"At level three, the Monster King’s strength is augmented with the energy of the Blood Land Vein in the Blood Lands. We are too far behind. We should split up."
The Martial Marquis who had cultivated four bone strengths turned around and ran in the other direction.
And the Martial Marquis who had cultivated three bone strengths, desperately suppressed his injuries, also scrambling to escape.
Roar!
The giant ape roared, fixed its gaze on the Martial Marquis who had cultivated four bone strengths, and rushed after him.
This Marquis who had cultivated four bone strengths had a decent speed. However, in the Blood Land Vein, he still fell short. He had not run more than a few miles when he was overtaken and had to strike back.
But the power disparity was too great; one punch forced the man to retreat dozens of meters, vomiting blood.
But he managed to widen the gap from the giant ape thanks to this punch’s force, sprinting again.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw three or four figures also running wildly towards the outside of Kunwu Mountain.
He quickly charged towards them, yelling, "Join forces to resist the Monster King, or else we’re all going to die!"
"Lin Feng, damn you!"
A man in front cursed vehemently.
The giant ape would not have noticed them had Lin Feng not pursued.
But Lin Feng was unfazed and continued rushing towards them.
At that moment, the giant ape caught up again and aimed a crushing blow at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn’t fight back but only sought to protect himself. He blocked the attack with his weapon, despite being hit and coughing up blood, he was able to retreat a hundred meters thanks to the momentum of the block, approaching the four men ahead.
"Lin Feng, you’ll get what’s coming to you."
"Damn Lin family."
The men cursed angrily, but they had no choice; they had to join forces to resist the giant red ape.
However, the gap between them and the giant ape was too substantial. They were beaten back one by one, vomiting blood, and suffering heavy losses.
A weaker one was killed instantly.
The giant ape examined the dead man’s body for a moment but did not find what he was looking for. It roared angrily and turned toward the remaining men.
Lin Feng and the others took advantage of the moment the giant ape was searching to flee.
"Is the level three Monster King looking for something?"
"Who took the Monster King’s stuff? Give it back! Are you trying to get us all killed?"
The men cursed angrily as they continued to run desperately.
However, the giant ape soon caught up again.
"Are we going to die here today?"
The thought crossed their minds, but just then, they saw a large figure standing ahead.
This man was shirtless, covered in black scales, carrying a Wolf Fang Club thicker than a person, like a demon god.
"Zhao Dongyang, it’s Zhao Dongyang."
"Third on the Martial Marquis List, Zhao Dongyang."
The men exclaimed in joy.
"The fastest among you get out and notify the Grandmaster, the rest, stand with me and resist this Monster King."
Zhao Dongyang spoke then galloped forward. He then jumped and swung the Wolf Fang Club towards the giant ape, colliding with its giant fist.
It was like two mountains crashing into each other, causing a loud rumble.
Whoosh!
Zhao Dongyang was forced backward, retreating over twenty meters before stopping. His face was slightly pale, but he did not vomit blood.
The giant ape’s attack was also blocked.
"He took it. Zhao Dongyang withstood the giant ape’s attack. The power of five bone strengths is indeed not in vain."
"This creature does not understand martial arts, it merely relies on brute force. Zhao Dongyang, with his five bone strengths and high-level martial arts, can hold his own."
"We can assist Zhao Dongyang and hold on until the Grandmaster arrives. Then we’re safe."
The men quickly exchanged ideas while they formed a defensive line beside Zhao Dongyang.
Roar!
The giant ape roared and rushed toward the men.
Zhao Dognyang swung his Wolf Fang Club to meet the creature, Lin Feng assisted from the side, and the others either shot arrows or tried to disrupt the ape with their weapons.
For the moment, they just managed to resist the giant ape. But they were clearly at a disadvantage, and they certainly wouldn’t be the victors if the fight drags on.
On the other side, the White Tiger beast king was also chasing the human cultivators.
Fortunately, in this direction, there were fewer human cultivators. Those who were careful had heard the roar of the Monster King earlier and had retreated to the outskirts. Only one or two people were left in the inner circle.
So those remaining one or two people were just unlucky, chased by the White Tiger beast and killed with a few swats.
By the time the White Tiger beast king chased to the outskirts, the other people had nearly run out of Kunwu Mountain.
Among them was Lu Yan too.
"That was fast. If I hadn’t fled early, the Monster King would have caused massive trouble."
Lu Yan took a large step forward, covering a hundred meters with each stride. He was getting close to the edge of Kunwu Mountain.
Behind him, the White Tiger beast king continued to chase relentlessly.
At this moment, two figures ran swiftly towards Kunwu Mountain from outside, leaping hundreds of meters with each stride.
The Grandmasters had arrived.
The two Grandmasters leapt over the crowd and simultaneously blocked the White Tiger beast king.
