King Kong Angry Ape

Mountains rolled and dipped, towering trees reached for the sky, and giant vines coiled like pythons. From time to time, massive beasts appeared, their roars shaking the mountains and rivers.

"Awoo!"

A Vajra Enraged Ape standing three zhang tall let out an angry roar, causing the leaves in the entire mountain forest to rustle and fall.

In a clearing within the forest, the Vajra Enraged Ape was staring at a human whose size was completely disproportionate to its own.

That person stood tall and elegant, his black hair dancing in the wind, appearing like a heavenly emperor descending, his body emitting intense fluctuations. It was none other than Long Chen.

This place used to be a dense forest, but now, the area within a radius of several hundred zhang was in ruins; trees had collapsed, rocks had rolled, forming a clearing.

Long Chen had obtained a map from the village chief that marked several dangerous areas, one of which was home to a Tier 2 Demonic Beast.

That was the Vajra Enraged Ape before him. Years ago, the ancestors of the village had accidentally trespassed into its territory, resulting in heavy casualties.

The villagers both hated and feared this Vajra Enraged Ape. When they heard that Long Chen wanted to hunt a Tier 2 Demonic Beast, they thought of it immediately.

However, Long Chen refused everyone, including Xiaohua, and went alone, easily finding this place according to the map.

Indeed, the Vajra Enraged Ape had an extremely strong sense of territory. The moment Long Chen stepped into this forest, he was immediately attacked.

"Roar!"

The Vajra Enraged Ape's fist, the size of a water vat, slammed heavily against its chest like a war drum. Simultaneously, it let out an angry roar, kicked off the ground, and charged toward Long Chen again.

The Vajra Enraged Ape was also a strength-type Demonic Beast, but as a Tier 2 Demonic Beast, it was even more terrifying.

Its massive frame was like a moving hill, and its speed was shockingly fast, arriving in front of Long Chen in the blink of an eye.

Long Chen splayed his fingers and quickly formed a fist. The moment he clenched his fist, his body moved without the wind, and a fierce gale rose within a radius of ten zhang.

By this time, Long Chen had been fiercely battling the Vajra Enraged Ape for over half an hour. The Vajra Enraged Ape was truly worthy of being a Tier 2 Demonic Beast, its strength extremely formidable.

According to Long Chen's estimation, the Violent Bear he had killed previously wouldn't be able to withstand even a single blow from this Vajra Enraged Ape.

A casual strike from the Vajra Enraged Ape carried a force of over tens of thousands of jin. If Long Chen hadn't advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm, he likely wouldn't have been able to contend with it using his Physical Body strength alone.

However, after fighting for such a long time, they were evenly matched in strength, and Long Chen was not prepared to waste any more time.

"Wind-Breaking Fist!"

With a low shout from Long Chen, he threw a punch, and the gale surged. A faint halo appeared on Long Chen's fist.

"Bang!"

Long Chen's fist slammed heavily onto the Vajra Enraged Ape's arm, producing a dull thud. The hill-like Vajra Enraged Ape was actually knocked back over a dozen zhang, snapping a dozen large trees behind it, a display of shocking momentum.

Indeed, after advancing to the Blood Condensation Realm, his Physical Body had improved significantly, and his mastery of combat techniques had become more effortless.

The power of the Wind-Breaking Fist was much greater than during the Qi Gathering realm. Combined with his own strength, he could knock back a Tier 2 Demonic Beast.

Long Chen hadn't expected that after advancing to the Blood Condensation Realm, he would receive such a massive boost, making the use of combat techniques feel much more natural.

"Awoo!"

The Vajra Enraged Ape was in a wretched state and erupted with an angry roar, its eyes, like small lanterns, filled with rage.

It was the king of this area and had dominated here for hundreds of years. Today, for the first time, it was being provoked by a tiny human, which it could not tolerate.

"Boom!"

The Vajra Enraged Ape slammed its fist into the ground, and suddenly, all the black fur on its body stood on end, while its entire body emitted a terrifying aura.

Long Chen was startled; he immediately sensed the change in the Vajra Enraged Ape. He hadn't expected this Demonic Beast to still have reserve strength.

The Vajra Enraged Ape's terrifying fangs were exposed, its eyes glaring at Long Chen. It stomped its large foot on the ground, sending dust flying, and charged toward Long Chen like a meteor.

Long Chen suddenly felt immense pressure and dared not be careless. He unleashed all his strength and exploded with another Wind-Breaking Fist.

But this time, when his punch landed on the Vajra Enraged Ape, Long Chen felt his body jolt, and he was sent flying backward, not stopping until he had flown over twenty zhang.

"It actually rivals the strike of an expert in the Tendon Transformation Realm. This is the body of a Demonic Beast; it truly is terrifying."

Long Chen shook his slightly numb arm. The force of the Vajra Enraged Ape's previous strike was shockingly great. If he hadn't advanced to the Blood Condensation realm, there would have been a danger of his arm being snapped.

Although this strike didn't match the power displayed by Ying Hou back then, it was only slightly inferior, showing that for humans, Demonic Beasts really are invincible existences within the same rank.

Clearly, this Vajra Enraged Ape had its own trump card; only now was it in its strongest state.

The Vajra Enraged Ape let out another wild roar and charged at Long Chen. Before Long Chen could act, a streak of light suddenly cut through the space, heading straight for the Vajra Enraged Ape.

"Snap!"

It was a cyan-colored light, moving extremely fast. Before the Vajra Enraged Ape could react, it was struck by the light.

However, as soon as that light struck the Vajra Enraged Ape, it shattered without even damaging its fur.

Long Chen was slightly startled, discovering that at some point, Xiaoxue, who had been hiding in the distance, had run to his side, its mouth still open.

"Is that actually a Wind Blade?"

Long Chen was shocked. He had heard that Demonic Beasts above Tier 3 possessed their own inherited combat techniques, and it turned out to be true.

Although the Wind Blade Xiaoxue spat out had pitifully little power, Xiaoxue was only so small, not even a Tier 1 Demonic Beast, yet it could already perform long-range attacks, which was truly shocking.

Seeing that its attack had no effect, Xiaoxue opened its mouth, about to attack again, but suddenly felt its body tighten and flew outward.

"Don't make trouble."

Long Chen tossed Xiaoxue away. This little guy must have thought he was in danger and came to help.

However, its attack wouldn't even count as scratching an itch for the Vajra Enraged Ape. Fearing it would get injured later, he threw it directly out of the battle circle.

Seeing the Vajra Enraged Ape pouncing, Long Chen gave a low shout:

"Come out, Divine Ring!"

Hum!

Suddenly, a ring of light appeared behind Long Chen, a thousand zhang in diameter. The original Qi cyclones were no longer visible; the thirteen Qi cyclones had merged into one, looking like a rainbow from afar.

When the Divine Ring appeared, the heavens and earth trembled slightly, and the Spiritual Qi from hundreds of miles around surged toward Long Chen. Long Chen immediately felt refreshed, his body filled with power.

Long Chen discovered that when the thirteen Qi cyclones merged, it was just like the effect when he had injected the Spiritual Qi from the Fengfu Star into the Qi cyclones; it would skyrocket to a terrifying level.

By now, the Vajra Enraged Ape had charged to Long Chen's immediate front, and without thinking, Long Chen struck out with his palm.

"Bang!"

An explosive sound shook the sky, and a terrifying wave of energy radiated outward. Long Chen's long hair danced, his clothes fluttered, and the Divine Ring behind him set him off, like a reincarnated heavenly emperor, looking down arrogantly upon the nine heavens.

The Vajra Enraged Ape's terrifying strike was actually blocked head-on by Long Chen. At this moment, Long Chen felt unprecedented strength.

He had still underestimated the Divine Ring. The Divine Ring formed by the superposition of thirteen Qi cyclones caused his strength to skyrocket far too much, so powerful that even he himself found it hard to believe.

He still knew too little about the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art. The connection of the thirteen Qi cyclones was even more powerful than injecting Spiritual Qi from the Fengfu Star into the Qi cyclones. This Cultivation Technique was like a bottomless pit; he still needed to continue exploring it.

"Rise!"

Long Chen let out a great shout, like a spring thunderclap startling the heavens, and the massive Vajra Enraged Ape was actually thrown directly into mid-air by Long Chen.

"Shhh!"

A broadsword sliced through the sky, and a Sword Qi, like a long whip, slashed through heaven and earth, cutting across the Vajra Enraged Ape's body, sending blood filling the sky.

"Bang bang!"

Two pieces of the corpse fell to the ground, producing two dull thuds.

"Worthy of being an Earth Rank combat technique, what terrifying lethality."

Looking at such a formidable Vajra Enraged Ape being cut into two pieces by the Gale Slash, he couldn't help but click his tongue, feeling as if he had underestimated Earth Rank combat techniques.

In fact, Long Chen did not know that not all Earth Rank combat techniques could perform long-range attacks; on the contrary, most combat techniques were attached to weapons to be activated.

It just so happened that the Three Styles of Gale was a combat technique that controlled the Wind attribute within the human body, capable of activating Sword Qi for long-range attacks.

Such combat techniques were extremely rare. Most importantly, they required a Martial Artist with Wind attribute Spiritual Qi in their body to cultivate.

Unlike ordinary Earth Rank combat techniques, which did not require an attribute and only needed Spiritual Qi to be injected into the weapon to be executed.

Combat techniques like the Three Styles of Gale, although rare, had their flaws; people without the Wind attribute in their Spiritual Qi simply could not use them.

Yet Long Chen was merely a rookie in the cultivation world and had no idea what an attribute was. In a muddled state, he had actually managed to master it.

If Xia Changfeng knew about this situation, would he be so angry that he would die again?

"Awooo!"

While lost in thought, Long Chen was startled back to reality. He discovered that Xiaoxue had run to the Vajra Enraged Ape's corpse and had started frantically tearing at its flesh and blood.

The Vajra Enraged Ape's Physical Body was extremely formidable, as one could tell from its terrifying strength, yet Xiaoxue was actually able to forcibly tear a piece of meat from its body and start chewing on it.

However, it was chewing very laboriously. One didn't need to think to know that even with the best teeth, that thing was tough.

Xiaoxue seemed to be like A-Man; flesh and blood seemed to be the source of their strength and growth, and it would eat desperately whenever it saw meat.

Long Chen took out a small knife and tried his best to cut off some soft meat for Xiaoxue, but Xiaoxue ignored it, continuing to struggle with the muscle on the Vajra Enraged Ape's arms and legs.

In desperation, Long Chen could only help it cut the meat. This Vajra Enraged Ape was meant to be sacrificed to the Forest God.

However, Long Chen imagined that the Forest God, being such a kind person, shouldn't be so petty as to fuss over that little bit of flesh and blood.

Xiaoxue had come thousands of miles for him and had suffered so much along the way. If he didn't let the little guy even eat a full meal, Long Chen would feel even more guilty.

Only when the little guy had eaten until its whole body was almost round did it stop. Long Chen tidied up, tied the Vajra Enraged Ape's corpse up, and dragged it along the ground.

Because the Vajra Enraged Ape's size was too large, his spatial ring couldn't hold it. Furthermore, Long Chen intentionally let its flesh and blood be exposed as he headed straight into the depths of the dense forest.
