Chapter 233: Old Fogey Doesn’t Cheat Old Fogey

"Humans, did you steal my son's wine?"

Although the Black Scale Demon Ape's voice was low, every word seemed to carry a world-destroying pressure.

Jiang Tianheng and Ying Wu Dao's expressions changed simultaneously.

Emperor Realm Second Layer!

The aura of this Black Scale Demon Ape was even more terrifying than they had imagined. Moreover, in a godforsaken place like Burial God Ridge, the suppression of rules had a far smaller effect on native Yao Beasts of Burial God Ridge than on humans. The price was their inability to leave Burial God Ridge.

"Senior, there has been a misunderstanding!"

Jiang Tianheng spoke up, biting the bullet: "We were just passing through and didn't touch that jar of dog… Monkey Wine at all!"

"Yes, yes!"

Ying Wu Dao also hurriedly chimed in: "The wine was stolen by someone else, it has nothing to do with us!"

The two were surprisingly in sync at this moment; just a moment ago they were at each other's throats, but now they immediately formed a united front.

"Someone else?"

The Black Scale Demon Ape narrowed its eyes, its gaze sweeping across the cave: "Besides you two, this old one didn't sense any other aura."

"There really was someone!"

Jiang Tianheng was sweating from anxiety and said quickly: "Just now, there was indeed someone who teleported over with us!"

However, he still deliberately concealed the person's identity as a Jiang Clan Disciple.

"Right, right, right!"

Ying Wu Dao nodded repeatedly: "That kid took the Monkey Wine and ran off, we really were just passing through!"

The Black Scale Demon Ape stared fixedly at the two and spoke slowly: "If it wasn't you who stole the wine, then it must have been you who injured my son, right?"

Before the two could react, it raised its massive demonic palm, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire cave.

"Die!"

A palm struck down.

Space instantly froze; Jiang Tianheng and Ying Wu Dao didn't even have a chance to react.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Tianheng gritted his teeth, the flames around his body surging to the extreme: "Join forces and fight!"

"Fine!"

Ying Wu Dao ignored everything else, his spiritual energy exploding instantly, and the temperature within the attack dropped visibly to the naked eye.

Boom!

The full-strength strike of the two erupted with world-destroying power in the cave, blasting the entire nest significantly wider.

However, in the next second—

Bang!

The two attacks containing the power of Law were shattered by a single palm from the Black Scale Demon Ape.

The terrifying force slammed directly into the two of them; Jiang Tianheng and Ying Wu Dao simultaneously spat blood and were sent flying hundreds of feet back.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Tianheng crashed to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth. More fatally, the old injuries within his body were completely triggered by this palm strike.

"Dao injury…"

Jiang Tianheng's face was deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down his body.

Years ago, he had sustained a Dao injury during a fight with someone. He had been suppressing it all these years, but today, it was completely detonated by this strike from the Black Scale Demon Ape.

"Jiang Tianheng! Don't hold back anymore!"

Ying Wu Dao struggled to climb up, covered in blood: "We must go all out, or we'll both die here!"

"Fine! Let's go all out! Hold it off for three breaths for me, I need to perform a secret technique! Old fogey doesn't cheat old fogey!"

Hearing this, Ying Wu Dao blocked the front without a second word, forcefully enduring for three breaths.

However, a scene occurred that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Jiang Tianheng let out a strange cry, his spiritual energy surging, and he suddenly turned and shot toward the teleportation array.

"Old fogey doesn't cheat old fogey" became a complete lie.

"You…"

Ying Wu Dao's eyes widened, instantly understanding Jiang Tianheng's plan.

This old thing was going to escape!

"Jiang Tianheng, you are shameless!"

Ying Wu Dao roared and also immediately rushed toward the teleportation array.

But Jiang Tianheng was faster.

Ignoring the churning old injuries in his body, he forcefully burned his essence blood, and his speed soared.

"Ying Wu Dao, I am indebted to you for your great kindness today; this debt can only be repaid in the next life!"

Jiang Tianheng sneered as he rushed onto the teleportation array, spiritual energy surging in his hands.

The teleportation array activated, its light flickering.

"You dare!"

Ying Wu Dao chased desperately, but he was still a step too slow.

Just as Jiang Tianheng's figure was about to disappear, he threw out a one-time secret treasure, a Palm Thunder.

The Palm Thunder didn't target the Black Scale Demon Ape, but instead blasted directly toward the core runes of the teleportation array!

"Bastard!"

Ying Wu Dao's face changed drastically.

One breath later.

Rumble.

The Palm Thunder exploded instantly.

The runes of the teleportation array were hit head-on by the Palm Thunder and immediately began to collapse. Countless cracks spread, and the entire Formation shook violently.

In the next second—

The teleportation array completely blew apart, turning into countless fragments.

Jiang Tianheng's figure disappeared into the light, while Ying Wu Dao remained standing in place, completely stunned.

"Jiang Tianheng… fuck your mother!"

Ying Wu Dao gritted his teeth, wishing he could eat the man's flesh raw.

This old thing not only escaped himself but also destroyed the teleportation array, cutting off his path of retreat!

"Interesting."

The Black Scale Demon Ape sneered: "Humans are indeed cunning. However… since he ran away, you can die in peace."

Ying Wu Dao trembled all over.

It was over.

Facing the Emperor Realm Second Layer Black Scale Demon Ape alone, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

"Senior!"

Ying Wu Dao gritted his teeth: "The wine really wasn't stolen by me, it has nothing to do with me! That wine thief is in cahoots with the person from just now, you can search my storage ring!"

"No need."

The Black Scale Demon Ape walked over slowly, each step making the entire cave shake: "Regardless of whether you stole it or not, all you intruders must die."

"Then come!"

Ying Wu Dao knew he couldn't escape, and madness flashed in his eyes: "Even if I die, I'll bite off a piece of your flesh!"

As a Great Emperor of an Imperial Clan, he had his own pride; he never lacked the courage to strike when facing the strong.

Ying Wu Dao flipped his hand, and an ice-blue long saber appeared in his grip.

Imperial Rank Low Grade Spiritual Artifact—Frost Saber!

"Ice Domain!"

Ying Wu Dao shouted, and the cold Qi around him surged. The temperature in the entire cave dropped instantly, and a thick layer of ice formed on the ground.

"Paltry tricks."

The Black Scale Demon Ape raised its hand and gave a wave.

"Gravity Domain."

A terrifying gravity instantly enveloped the entire cave.

Ying Wu Dao's Ice Domain had just expanded when it was forcefully suppressed by the Gravity Domain. The ice layer cracked, the cold Qi dissipated, and Ying Wu Dao was pressed down onto one knee.

"This… this is the power of Law?!"

Ying Wu Dao's eyes widened.

The power of Law was a power that only those at the Emperor Realm Third Layer or above could fully master!

This Black Scale Demon Ape was not at the Emperor Realm Second Layer at all, but the Emperor Realm Third Layer!

"It's over…"

Despair filled Ying Wu Dao's heart.

The Black Scale Demon Ape struck down with its palm, the terrifying gravity condensing into a mountain and pressing toward Ying Wu Dao.

"Ah!"

Ying Wu Dao frantically drove the Frost Saber, saber light crisscrossing as he tried to block this palm.

But the Law of Gravity was too strong.

Crack!

Ying Wu Dao's right arm was snapped directly by the pressure, the entire arm becoming a bloody mess with bone fragments exposed.

"Pfft!"

Ying Wu Dao spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale to the extreme.

"No!"

He gritted his teeth and instantly made a decision.

Ying Wu Dao threw the Frost Saber at the Black Scale Demon Ape, simultaneously detonating the spiritual energy within it.

Rumble!

The self-detonation of an Imperial Rank Low Grade Spiritual Artifact was incredibly powerful.

The entire cave was instantly enveloped in ice-blue light, and a terrifying cold Qi and explosive shockwave swept through everything.

The Black Scale Demon Ape was forced back, and a thick layer of frost formed on its scales.
