Chapter 1877: A Strong Man in the Fusion Stage

The group circled Red Glow Peak more than a dozen times, and as time passed, just as Ye Bufan had predicted, Di Rong’s True Qi was depleted, and his speed began to slow down.

Even though he was incredibly anxious and wanted to increase his speed, his strength was limited, and there was nothing he could do.

Meanwhile, due to the effects of the medicine, the Poison Horned Magic Ape had not been able to vent its frustration, and its mood grew increasingly agitated, making its speed slightly faster than before.

Seeing the distance between the two begin to shrink, getting closer and closer, the Poison Horned Magic Ape suddenly let out a furious roar.

“Woo-aoh…”

Hearing the roar from behind him, Di Rong was startled, his body trembled, and his speed involuntarily slowed down a bit.

The Poison Horned Magic Ape seized this opportunity, leaping directly to pin him beneath its body.

Di Rong was already exhausted, feeling as if a small mountain had been pressed onto his body, nearly suffocating him.

“Senior Brother!”

Feng Danian and the other person followed closely, their longswords thrusting directly at the Poison Horned Magic Ape’s back.

Chen Youyou leaped into the air, striking a sword at the opponent’s head.

It was just a pity that their cultivation was too weak; the Poison Horned Magic Ape didn't bother to pay them any mind, relying on its powerful defense to take on both sword strikes.

“Ugh…”

Seeing that the opponent was so powerful and that their Senior Brother was pinned underneath, the two of them swung their precious swords, hacking down frantically as if chopping vegetables.

Eventually, the Poison Horned Magic Ape grew annoyed by the two of them hacking at it, and with a sweep of its large paw, it sent them flying backward, causing them to spurt out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Afterward, it continued to swing its paws, tearing away the few remaining scraps of cloth on Di Rong’s body until he was completely naked.

Feeling a chill on his backside, Di Rong was practically in tears.

What kind of situation was this? He had traveled thousands of miles into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, only to be ‘rekt’ by such a powerful Yao Beast. How could he live after this?

On the mountaintop, seeing this scene, Hu Yaoyao immediately turned her head away. She was too embarrassed to watch such an overly explicit live broadcast.

Ye Bufan, at some point, had another bucket of popcorn in his hand, eating it with great relish as he watched.

As he watched, he secretly lamented in his heart, 'It’s a pity there’s no live streaming or similar things now. Otherwise, if I streamed this scene, the traffic and donations would surely skyrocket.'

Just as Di Rong’s heart had completely fallen into despair, a furious shout suddenly came from the sky.

“Beast, stop right there!”

Following a furious roar, a sharp Sword Qi shot straight into the sky, moving at an astonishing speed, instantly arriving above the Poison Horned Magic Ape’s head.

“Woo-aoh…”

The pressure from this sword strike was too strong; the sharp Sword Qi seemed to be more than the air could bear, continuously emitting a piercing shriek.

The Poison Horned Magic Ape also sensed the danger and raised its head, preparing to dodge, but it was already too late.

The fierce Sword Qi sliced across its neck, and then a large head flew into the air.

Seeing the scene before him, Ye Bufan, who was sitting in the tree, was startled, almost dropping the popcorn in his hand.

“This is too strong! I’ve never seen such sharp Sword Qi, such powerful pressure.”

Hu Yaoyao said with a serious expression, “This is a Body Integration Stage expert!”

Only a Body Integration Stage expert could kill a Peak sixth-tier Yao Beast with a single sword strike.

The person who arrived was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, dressed in white, holding a longsword that exuded a chilling aura. He looked like an unparalleled Sword Immortal, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Ye Bufan recovered and asked, “Who is this guy?”

Hu Yaoyao said, “I don’t recognize him either. He should be the second uncle Di Rong mentioned.”

Ye Bufan nodded, thinking that this must be the person.

At this moment, Di Rong, covered in the Poison Horned Magic Ape’s blood, quickly pushed the huge corpse off himself and got up in a disheveled state.

“Second Uncle, you’ve finally arrived!”

When he looked back at the middle-aged man, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

Everything that had just happened was an immense torment to him; he had never suffered such humiliation in his life.

“Alright, look at what you look like now. Hurry up and put your clothes on.”

The middle-aged man who arrived was indeed a strong individual from the Di family, Di Rong’s second uncle, Di Canghai, an Early Stage Body Integration expert.

After receiving the news, he rushed to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range to meet Di Rong, arriving just in time. If he had been a step later, his nephew would have truly been ‘rekt’ by the Poison Horned Magic Ape.

He reprimanded Di Rong, then looked up towards the mountaintop.

“Where did these juniors come from? Have you watched enough?”

Ye Bufan was startled, not expecting to be discovered by the opponent from such a distance. It seemed that a Body Integration Stage expert’s perception far exceeded his imagination.

Since they had been discovered, there was no point in hiding anymore. He and Hu Yaoyao leaped down from above and quickly arrived in front of everyone.

“Big Brother, Sister Hu, it’s you two!”

Although Chen Youyou had just suffered some injuries, she still enthusiastically stepped forward to greet them.

Di Rong had just changed into a new set of clothes. Seeing the two of them, he immediately gritted his teeth in hatred.

If Ye Bufan hadn’t used that abnormal medicine, he wouldn’t have been put in such a state by the Poison Horned Magic Ape.

He wouldn't consider his own mistakes, instead placing all his resentment on Ye Bufan.

Di Canghai glanced at the group: “You know each other?”

Feng Danian explained, “That’s right, we traveled together before and came to Red Glow Peak together.

Once we arrived, Brother Ye and his companion went to another side to handle some matters, which is when we separated.”

“Since you had the camaraderie of traveling together, why did you stand by and watch my nephew suffer without helping him?”

Di Canghai finished speaking, his gaze sharply sweeping over the two of them.

Chen Youyou saw that he seemed ready to attack if there was any disagreement and quickly said, “Second Uncle, Big Brother and Sister Hu are very good people; they must have their own reasons.”

Ye Bufan, however, smiled faintly at her, then looked at Di Canghai: “There’s no reason. We just didn’t want to save him.”

“This…”

Chen Youyou had originally wanted to say some good words for the two of them, but this left her speechless, unable to say anything.

Feng Danian was also anxious, repeatedly signaling to Ye Bufan that such words might anger Di Canghai.

Indeed, Di Canghai’s expression immediately turned cold: “Young man, is that really appropriate? Do you have no sense of morality in your heart?”

“I do have morality, but he doesn’t deserve it,” Ye Bufan said. “Why don’t you ask your nephew why he was wearing a night-walking suit in broad daylight? Why was he sneaking behind us?

The reason he ended up like this was because he was looking for an opportunity to secretly attack us from behind.

For someone who wanted to kill us, we didn’t kill him, which is already the utmost benevolence and righteousness. Are you expecting us to risk our lives to save him? What kind of logic is that?”

After he finished speaking, Chen Youyou and Feng Danian both changed their expressions. They had never expected that Di Rong’s secret departure wasn’t to gather herbs, but to act against Ye Bufan and Hu Yaoyao.

“This…”

Di Canghai’s expression changed slightly. He turned to look at Di Rong. Although his nephew was in a disheveled state, there were still traces of the night-walking suit.

He asked in a deep voice, “What exactly is going on?”
