Chapter 124 - A surge in strengthIn the darkness, an illusionary figure suddenly stood up. With a few light tap of its feet, its body was actually as fast as lightning, as fast as a gale!
The latter instantly appeared behind the back of the ape. Both of its legs exerted force and its body jumped high into the air. Suddenly, it jumped onto the top of the ape"s head.His two hands suddenly clawed upwards, just in time to grasp the sword hilt of the Wandering Dragon Sword that the Dark Golden Ape had previously stabbed into the ceiling of the cave!
"Chi!"
The Wandering Dragon Sword"s blue radiance and electric arcs flashed once more. It streaked across the sky and was grasped by both of his hands. He flipped the sword in the air and thrusted it at the ape"s face!
Everything happened too quickly and too suddenly. Not only did Fatty Ox not react, even the Black Gold Ape could not react in time!
When it loosened its grip on the fat cow"s huge claw and was about to attack the person standing on its shoulder, the Wandering Dragon Sword had already fiercely inserted itself into it. The scarlet red eye on its right side!"Swish!"
With an ear-piercing sound, the Wandering Dragon Sword"s blade sank into the sword. The jet black and scarlet liquid sprayed out in all directions!
"Roar!"
At this moment, the Black Gold Ape"s howl almost broke through the sky!
It shook its body crazily, throwing a punch at the figure on top of its head. Under this craziness, it burst out with incomparable tyrannical power!
However …
The moment the Dark Gold Ape struck the fist, the figure standing on its shoulder did not dodge nor evade. Instead, it faced the attack head on!
The two disproportionate fists were full of shock as they clashed brazenly!
"Bam!"Shi Potian"s punch landed on the ape"s shoulder and sent it flying. After a few somersaults, the ape finally fell to the ground.
The Dark Gold Ape, on the other hand, was actually forced to stagger a few steps by the recoil from the punch!"Boss, you"re not dead!"
The figure and the golden ape collided and fell onto the ground. Only then did Fatty Niu finally see the figure clearly. He could not help but cry out in surprise!
Xiang Yun looked at the shocked Fatty Niu and could not help but laugh.
"What? You"re the only one allowed to play dead? Can"t I play once?"
"But …"
Just a moment ago, he had clearly detected that Xiang Yun"s heartbeat had ceased to exist. It was obvious that his life force had been cut off. How could he have come back to life?
"You brat, not bad. It seems like this sabre and sword are all decorations."
"Boss, let"s not talk about this for now, you should just run away. Although this beast is injured, we are still no match for him."Just now, Fatty Niu had unsheathed his sword. Although he had severely injured the Black Gold Ape, he was still unable to pose a fatal threat to it. This caused him to feel despair.
However, Xiang Yun only replied to Fatty Niu"s worries."Just now, I wasn"t his match, but now, it"s not certain."
As he finished speaking, Xiang Yun"s body shook, and an aura several times stronger than before was abruptly released!
"Boss, how strong are you?" Astonishment filled the eyes of the fat cow.
"Hehe, I accidentally made a breakthrough." Xiang Yun grinned, very pleased with himself.It turned out that Xiang Yun had channeled all of his cloud energy when he faced the last punch from the Dark Gold Ape. He had originally wanted to block the latter"s attack and preserve his life.
Unexpectedly, although the Dark Gold Ape"s punch had caused quite a bit of damage to him, it had coincidentally also forcefully broken through Wuyun"s neck!
At the critical moment of his breakthrough, Xiang Yun could only use his Turtle Aura Technique to kill himself. At the same time, he madly gathered Yun Li within his body to complete the entire process, finally successfully advancing in the nick of time and saving Fatty Niu!
"You can do that?" Fatty Niu looked at Xiang Yun in shock!
"Boss, be careful!"
Suddenly, the ox pointed at Xiang Yun. At this moment, a gigantic black shadow leaped over, roaring and throwing itself at Xiang Yun!
Seeing the colossal creature charging at him, Xiang Yun was not fearless. Instead, his eyes burned with excitement!
"Good job!"Without the slightest hesitation, Xiang Yun also stepped forward, his body leaping up as he brandished both fists, heavily smashing them against the golden ape in the air!
"Bam!"A man and a beast were sent flying back at the same time. Xiang Yun flew back dozens of feet, but the Black Gold Ape only took one step back!
However, the moment he landed, Xiang Yun stomped down on the ground, crushing the stones beneath his feet. Borrowing the force of the impact, he instantly charged towards the Black Gold Ape, his fist striking out like lightning at its chest!
"BOOM!"
At the same time as his chest was struck, the Golden Ape kicked Xiang Yun"s abdomen!
"Bam!"
The two separated once again, both retreating backwards!However …
Xiang Yun was like a mad bull at this moment. Just as he was forced to retreat and stabilize his body, he immediately charged forward!
Now that he had advanced, Yun Li and his physique had greatly improved. The Black Gold Ape had suffered a heavy injury and its strength had weakened. With this increase in strength, Xiang Yun was actually able to fight on equal footing with the Black Gold Ape!
When the two fists met, every move would have the power to split open mountains and split the earth.
Just the aftermath of the battle had caused the tiny rocks in the cave to be blown all over the place. Fatty Ox, who was watching at the side, was dumbfounded!
As for the outside of the cave, it was no longer just Yang Guanglin who was standing at the entrance. Other than him, Xiang Changan was also beside him. Around the cave were a few dozen people riding horses to watch.
At this moment, everyone had astonished expressions on their faces as they looked at the sealed cave. The cave entrance was constantly shaking, and even the ground beneath them was gently shaking!
"This …"Yang Guanglin"s face was extremely ugly to behold. It had been a very long time since Xiang Yun and the rest had been trapped in the cave.
Originally, from his point of view, Xiang Yun and Fatty Niu had long since been devoured to the point where not even their bones were left.I didn"t expect such a long time to pa.s.s.
There was such a large commotion in the cave, and it even attracted a lot of hunters who came to watch.
Everyone looked in bewilderment in the direction of the cave, not knowing what was going on inside.
Xiang Changan approached Yang Guanglin with an extremely unsightly expression. He nervously looked around for anyone nearby and asked in a low voice.
"Second brother, what"s going on?"
Yang Guanglin was a little gloomy, but he did not dare to hide it from Xiang Changan. He could only tell him his plan from the beginning to the end.
Hearing this, Xiang Changan was shocked!
"Are you saying that Xiang Yun and Niu Yaotian have been trapped inside the cave by you, and that there"s also a Six-Cloud level Black Gold Ape inside?"
Yang Guanglin quickly gestured at Xiang Changan to keep quiet and carefully nodded his head!
"Then why aren"t you moving the shattered rocks away and saving them? There are already so many people here, don"t blow the matter up!"
Xiang Chang An said anxiously as he looked around at the crowd."You can"t!" Yang Guanglin"s expression changed, and he quickly pulled at Xiang Chang An.
"Boss, they saw that I personally blocked off the cave. If they come out, I"m dead for sure!""This …" Xiang Chang An was momentarily at a loss, at a loss of what to do.
"But when the others arrive, someone will definitely open up the cave. This matter will be exposed sooner or later!" Xiang Changan persuaded.
"Why don"t you personally go and rescue them? When the time comes, I will help you beg for mercy. I definitely won"t make things difficult for you for them!"
Hearing this, Yang Guanglin shook his head decisively, "No, definitely not. Xiang Yun definitely won"t let me off. Now, it"s either him or me dying. This time, I"ll make sure he dies without a burial ground!"
Yang Guanglin"s face revealed a crazy expression!"But …"
"No, but it can"t be. Boss, are you going to stand on my side or on his side? I"m doing all of this for the sake of our An Lin Party and you, boss!"
At this moment, Yang Guanglin"s voice was harsh and his face distorted. Surprisingly, Xiang Changan felt a tinge of fear. It seemed that if he did not agree with what Yang Guanglin had done, the latter would eat him up.
Yang Guanglin seemed to realize his att.i.tude, so he forced out a flattering smile and said.
"Boss, don"t worry. With the violent temperament of the Golden Crow Ape and the strength of a Seven Cloud martial pract.i.tioner, Xiang Yun and Niu Yaotian will definitely not be its match."
"At this moment, they might have already been smashed into meat paste by the Black Gold Ape. These vibrations are just the Black Gold Ape venting its anger!"
"Is he really dead?" Xiang Chang An"s heart was still fl.u.s.tered, a little worried and a little relieved. It could be said that his emotions were incomparably complicated.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that there was no meaning in being the leader of the An Lin Party. If he had to be on tenterhooks all day, he"d rather not be the leader of the An Lin Party.
However, he couldn"t back down now. Yang Guanglin had to force him to join the fray.Just as Xiang Changan"s heart was suffering, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Everyone turned around and saw a graceful figure riding a fiery red steed, galloping over from afar!
"Sister!"
"Seventh Princess!"
Everyone cried out in alarm. The one who had come was the Princess Pheonix, Xiang Fei. The latter had also heard the huge commotion in the canyon. Thus, she rode her horse and galloped over. Behind her were tens of other contestants who had rushed over upon hearing the news!
Xiang Fei spurred her horse to gallop right in front of Xiang Changan and Yang Guanglin. She asked Xiang Changan, "What happened? Who"s inside the cave?"
"I … I …" Xiang Chang An was nervous to begin with, and the moment he heard his royal sister"s question, he was so frightened that his mouth went agape and his tongue-tied. He couldn"t utter a single word for a long time.
On the side, Yang Guanglin was worried that he would be exposed, so he quickly answered, "Reporting to Your Highness, it"s the crown prince and Young Master Niu."
They were trapped in a cave by a Black Gold Ape! ""What!" Xiang Fei was also shocked to hear these words.
When Yang Guanglin had been chasing after Fatty Niu and the others, many people had seen it happen. Xiang"er naturally knew about it as well."What the h.e.l.l is going on?"
At this moment, her pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were like a torch as she stared at Yang Guanglin and asked.
Facing the questioning of a middle stage Huang Yun and a high and mighty princess, Yang Guanglin broke out in cold sweat.
However, he forced himself to remain calm and told Xiang Fei everything that had just happened.
However, Fatty Ox and Xiang Yun had discovered the injured female Dark Gold Ape in his story, so they had chased them into the cave.
At the same time, the male Dark Golden Ape rushed back from outside. It originally wanted to go in and save the two of them, but it was no match for the ape. It was injured and escaped!
As he spoke, he displayed the wounds on his body. Everyone looked over and indeed saw that the armor on Yang Guanglin"s chest had caved in. Obviously, he had been hit hard.
Xiang Fei"s gaze turned as she looked at the shattered remnants of the cave. "Why did this cave collapse again?"
"I don"t know either. It seems like the male ape punched the cave entrance, and the broken stones from the mountain tumbled down, blocking the entrance of the cave. The eighth prince also saw this scene, so you can ask his Highness if you don"t believe me."Everyone"s gaze immediately focused on Xiang Changan. Xiang Changan"s body trembled, his heart speeding up in the face of everyone"s questioning gazes. A feeling of unease quickly spread throughout his entire body.
"Is that so, brother?" Xiang Fei asked.
"I …" Xiang Chang An stuttered once again.
"Boss, quickly tell us!" Yang Guanglin called out nervously from behind Xiang Changan.
"It"s like this!" Xiang Changan nodded in the end and testified for Yang Guanglin.Hearing this, everyone believed in what Yang Guanglin had said. Meanwhile, Xiang Fei furrowed her brows.
Suddenly, a series of violent sounds came from inside the cave as the latter"s expression changed!
"They seem to be alive!"
Hearing this, Yang Guanglin was surprised and quickly said, "Impossible, they"ve already been inside for quite some time, that Dark Gold Ape is the Cloud Beast that"s close to the Seventh Cloud Level!""Humph, even if you"re dead, you should at least see a corpse. You"ve been here for so long, why haven"t you come to rescue them yet?" Xiang Fei coldly reprimanded!
"We don"t dare to either." Yang Guanglin lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye.Xiang Fei gave a cold snort. She cast a cold glance at Yang Guanglin before riding her horse at full speed towards the entrance of the cave.
The moment they saw that Xiang Fei was going to save someone, all the surrounding juniors from influential families and families, as well as the commoners, immediately followed her. They all wanted to help her save someone!
Firstly, they naturally wanted to show off their skills in front of Xiang Fei. Secondly, with a middle Huang Yun expert like her present, they naturally were not afraid of any accidents.
Yang Guanglin harbored ulterior motives, while Xiang Changan was extremely worried. The two of them also followed along!
In just a short moment, over a hundred people had surrounded the entrance of the cave. Many were carrying tools or carrying stones with their hands. However, Xiang Fei had ordered for everyone to stop!
"Get out of the way, I"ll do it!"
Saving a life was akin to saving a fire. How could she allow these people to move around leisurely? Xiang Fei pulled out the flexible sword at her waist and raised it high above her head!As the light on the sword converged, a majestic aura suddenly rose. Everyone was forced back by this aura, creating a semicircle of a vacuum area!
"Is this the power of the Yellow Cloud Realm!"
Everyone present could not help but feel shocked as they stared at the longsword in Xiang Fei"s hands!Just as Xiang Fei was about to slash down at the shattered cave entrance, the earth suddenly shook before a faint sound rang out from within the cave. A low, shrill, and mournful cry rang out!
"Bam!"
All of a sudden, the rocks that were tightly piled up at the entrance of the cave exploded with a loud bang and flew out in all directions. A gigantic body made of alternating silver and black flew out from the entrance of the cave!
