Chapter 231: Striking the jackpot (for real)
The endless remote mountain.
It was the Blood Eyed Demonic Ape’s territory, a highly ranked beast clan.
Almost no other beasts were a match for them one on one.
Boom!
The ground shook, and two gigantic Demonic Apes stomped into view.
One was incredibly huge, and the other one was slightly smaller.
If Lin Fan was present, he’d definitely be able to recognize the smaller Ape, as he had died under its Ape’s hand numerous times.
Now, the Ape had grown. It’s had grown significantly taller, and its muscles had enlarged. It also had a more potent and fiercer aura now.
There was a huge altar filled with congealed blood in the distance. The blood might have been left behind since ancient times, but it was still emanating strong energy.
A group of Demonic Apes stood around the altar. They were larger and had terrifying auras. When they saw the two other Demonic Apes coming from afar, they stepped aside.
Fear could be seen in the smaller Demonic Ape’s eyes, but it mustered up its courage and walked towards the altar.
It knew that it was his coming-of-age day ceremony, and he would be receiving the blood of his ancestors.
It went up to the altar and stood at the altar silently, waiting for the ceremony to start.
All of a sudden.
The altar lit up brightly, and an aura belonging to its ancestors could be felt.
The Demonic Ape looked to the sky and let out a fierce growl. A drop of blood fell down from the sky. Seeing this, the Demonic Ape opened its mouth and looked up, waiting for the blood to land in its mouth.
It waited and waited, but instead of the drop of blood landing in its mouth, all it heard were angry growls all around him.
A tiny Demonic Ape that as small as a human could be seen out of nowhere. It caught the drop of blood with its hand, taking a small amount of the blood, and threw the rest into the maturing Demonic Ape’s mouth.
“Calm down, I’m only borrowing a small amount from you. The little guy is unable to refine that much ancient blood anyways. It would be a waste if I didn’t take it.” Tian Xu, who was currently in the form of a Demonic Ape, said before slashing s.p.a.ce apart, leaving.
He wasn’t interested in offending the Demonic Ape’s as they were well known for holding grudges. They might take action against the humans if they realized that it was a human who s.n.a.t.c.hed their blood.
Just then, a Demonic Ape, which had been in hibernation for an extended period, smacked the s.p.a.ce. The violent force caused s.p.a.ce to tear open. The Demonic Ape possessed such strong force that it was utterly terrifying.
Tian Xu, who was in the air, turned around to look at the Blood Eyed Demonic Ape. He found it somewhat familiar.
“You’re all grown up now?”
“Roar!” the Demonic Ape let out an angry growl. “Leave and never return…”
The surrounding Demonic Ape dropped to the ground when they saw the Demonic Ape flying over. It was their king, the being closest to their ancestors and their supreme leader.
However, they saw a crystal clear drop roll down from the corner of their king’s eyes.
Leading the eleven inner disciples, Lin Fan head back towards the sect.
Suddenly, smoke rose to the sky from a city in front of them and covered the sky.
“What’s going on?” Lin Fan asked.
“Senior Brother, that’s a smoke signal. It seems like something has happened there.” w.a.n.g Qianzhong said after taking a closer look.
“Let’s go and take a look.” Lin Fan said. ~There might be a surprise waiting for me.~
Eleven rays of light could be seen shooting across the sky from afar.
Black mountain city. Soldiers wearing armor could be seen standing on the city walls. They all wore a solemn expression, and some were overwhelmed with fear.
“Mayor, your humble servant thinks that there is somebody behind all this.” A soldier wearing silver armor said.
He wore a frown while keeping his eyes on the situation in front of him. He had a bad feeling about this.
“Somebody behind this? Who would have the ability to do this?” The Black Mountain City mayor asked seriously.
“Beasts normally would never attack a city, but this time around, they keep gathering as if they were an organization. It seems like they are here to ruin our city.”
The general said, looking at the distance. This was the first beast attack tide they had come across, and the city wasn’t prepared for such an attack. It was unknown if the city walls could withstand the beast’s attacks or not.
“Mayor, we’re here.” Just then, a group came over.
The Black Mountain City’s three largest tribes leaders brought their tribesmen over.
The Black mountain city was currently facing a beast’s attack. They were facing a new threat that they had never seen before. If they didn’t stand united, they wouldn’t be able to face the consequences.
“Thank you, tribe leaders, for being willing to lend a hand. The Black mountain city citizens will remember your deeds.” The Mayor said.
“Mayor, it’s all good. We aren’t just part of the Black mountain city, but we are also Magnificent Flame Sect citizens. Now that we are in such a situation, we could only overcome the crisis if we work together. Have you sent somebody to inform the Magnificent Flame Sect? Our strength is limited, and we can only defend for a few days. If there’s a beast with high enough cultivation among them, we won’t even be able to survive for more than a day.” A tribe leader said.
“I’ve sent a lord, who is a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. He’s of the Earth Star Border Stage Seven, and he will be able to reach the sect quickly because he can fly.” The Mayor answered.
“Mayor, there are only two Earth Star Border Stage Seven elites here in the city!” Another tribe leader said in shock. “What should we do if we come across a beast of high cultivation?”
“I’m the only other person of the Earth Star Border Stage Seven in the city, but I couldn’t leave. If we can survive until the lord returns with help, then we’ll live. If not, at least the lord will be able to survive, and the sect won’t have to lose such a talent.” The Mayor shook his head.
Hearing him, the crowd kept silent. They understood what the Mayor meant.
In every city under the Magnificent Flame Sect, an inner disciple would guard the city to ensure its safety. After spending a long time in the cities, some stayed in the cities and made a family. Amongst the three families, two were descendants of the Magnificent Flame Sect lords.
Roar!
Suddenly, a loud roar could be heard.
“Mayor, the beasts have started to attack!” A soldier shouted in fear. He grabbed his weapon tightly as cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
The ground shook, and fierce growls could be heard throughout the city and its walls.
The citizens of the Black mountain city were anxious too. If the soldiers were unable to stop the beast, they would be doomed.
The crowd hurried towards the city walls. When they saw the large number of beasts streaming towards the city, they were dumbfounded.
This wave was mostly made up of Body Tempering beasts, with fewer Earth Star Border beasts too.
“Shoot!” The Mayor shouted. He wore a solemn expression on his face.
A distance away.
“Hold your fire!”
Twelve rays of light shot across the sky and towards the ground.
Whoosh!
Arrows shot up into the sky, and an arrow rain could be seen flying towards the beast tide.
“No! These are all mine!” Lin Fan dashed towards the beasts and destroyed the arrows with his attacks.
Seeing this, the Mayor’s heart sank. He didn’t know what was going on, but he let out a shout when he saw one of the figures. “Lord, why did you return?”
“I ran into my Senior brothers, and they came to help.” The disciple guarding the Black mountain city said.
“This…” The Mayor couldn’t tell what the person blocking the arrows was trying to do.
“Senior brother Lin, we are here to help.” w.a.n.g Qianzhong said.
“Don’t move without permission and go to the city wall! Leave this to me!” Lin Fan said, breathing heavily when he saw the beast tide. His eyes reddened in excitement.
~How long had it been?~
~I’ve never come across such a large number of beasts before.~
~I used to hunt for beasts to kill back then.~
~How am I supposed to remain calm when I come across such a huge number of beasts?~
~These are all points! They might be weak, but they will slowly add up.~
“Senior brother, let us help.” w.a.n.g Qianzhong said. He felt that the beast tide was too much for Lin Fan to handle alone.
But as soon as he finished his words, he saw Lin Fan staring at him. He looked up, and his heart jumped into his throat.
“I said that none of you are allowed to attack, or I’ll beat you all up.”
“These are mine. n.o.body is allowed to s.n.a.t.c.h them from me.”
He let out a shout.
~Give it my all!~
Violent body!
Cruel blood!
The magic of the seven G.o.ds!
After all the skillsets were activated, a powerful aura could be felt.
~These are all mine. All mine. I’m going to be invincible.~
The beasts looked up, unaware of what the human was trying to do. They were confused about why the man helped them block the arrows.
Destroyed!
Lin Fan raised his hand and made s.p.a.ce shatter with his attacks.
Bang!
Bang!
The beasts began to explode one by one.
Lin Fan’s points started to increase too.
“Transformation into G.o.d swordsmanship.”
Within no time, a terrifying sword intent shot up to the sky. The swords floating behind Lin Fan shot down onto the beasts on his command.
In no time, everything was destroyed.
“I can’t take it anymore. This feels so good! It’s something I’ve never felt before. This is great. Where did all of them come from?”
Lin Fan felt like he was on cloud nine.
Beasts, you arrived just in time.
The city wall.
The Mayor was dumbstruck. “The lord, he…”
~Is so powerful. He’s so powerful that I felt that the city would be destroyed within a second if he were to attack us. We wouldn’t even have the power to fight back!~
Within the blink of an eye, many beasts had died.
Blood and flesh could be seen everywhere.
Blood red hair, eyes, and a red and black body. ~Is this something that a human should look like?~
