Chapter 459: Acting (Part One)
“Brother Zhang… You’re not joking, right? Scheming against the other generals, if the altar master finds out…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the Ape General suddenly realized that this was very likely the altar master’s intention.
If not for the altar master’s order, how could Victor cause Long Yi trouble for his own selfish desires? It was not worth it to go through all this trouble just to disturb the other party.
Moreover, he had heard a little about Long Yi’s previous status. He did not even put the altar master in his eyes and was very arrogant and despotic. Therefore, it was very likely that this was actually the altar master’s intention, and Victor was just a knife in the altar master’s hand… this knife was now lent to him, and the person wanted dead was Long Yi.
Thinking up to this point, the Ape General sighed softly, nodded, and said, “I understand, Brother Zhang. Thank you for your help.”
“Haha, easy. Then it’s settled. In a while, you’ll publicly challenge me. Remember to go all out. I’ll pretend to lose to you and then go challenge Long Yi to obtain his qualifications. Don’t worry, I’ll heavily injure him and make him lose his qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion completely.”
After saying this, Victor slowly stood up and walked in front of the Ape General, patting him on the shoulder.
“To tell you the truth, I think highly of you. Both the Tiger and Barbarian General rely on their own qualifications to bully the newcomers. They often carried out such behavior. Only you still have some courage and genuinely strive to climb upward from your position as the battle general. You must seize this opportunity.”
“Thank you for your help, Brother Zhang.”
“No worries. I still have something to do. I’ll leave first.”
Victor waved his hand and left the Ape Hall.
Honestly speaking, there was no purpose in Victor spending so much effort on these things. He just wanted to disgust Long Yi. It had nothing to do with what the Ape General thought regarding receiving an order from Feng Lian.
It was simply Victor’s bad behavior. He did not want to see Long Yi in the limelight. That was all.
After returning to the Golden Crow Hall, Victor told the mountain spirit about the wind-controlling pill. The latter had actually heard of such a thing and promised that as long as it could refine the wind-controlling pill, Victor would definitely be able to break through the extreme speed of the wind. This made Victor very happy.
In this way, out of the four stages of mountain, thunder, wind, and rain, only the two stages of thunder and rain were left. Although the extreme power of the mountain stage had not been broken through yet, the growth of qi and blood needed time after all. There was no rush.
Not long after, the bored Victor finally saw the Ape General. He challenged Victor in front of the five thousand Golden Crow Army.
The news spread like wildfire and soon attracted Feng Lian and the other three generals to watch the battle.
Of course, they did not think that the Ape General could win. They were just joining in on the fun.
“Hahaha, the younger generation is really awesome. I did not expect the two newbies to be the ones with the most drive.”
The Tiger General was grinning on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart. He stared at Victor’s back and wished that he could immediately go up and fight him to death.
After all, among the four great generals of the previous generation, apart from Long Yi, he was the strongest. If it was not for Victor, the second position should have been reserved for him. In the end, Long Yi finally lost, and an even more domineering Victor came along, not only that, Long Yi actually stayed behind and became the fifth general. He found it rather unacceptable.
However, what could he do? If he could not win, he could not win. There was no point in complaining.
“Heh, do you think that the Demon Slaying Division is filled with trash like you? You just muddle along and wait for death every day. Only during the Battle of the Generals will you bring out your true abilities. Otherwise, aren’t you all constantly hiding behind others?”
Long Yi glanced at the Tiger General with disdain and spoke sarcastically.
He really looked down on such people. When he needed help, not a single person could be found. However, when it came to benefits, they would be the first to appear.
“Flood Dragon General has taught me a lesson.” The Tiger General smiled and secretly sized up the Ape General’s strength. He continued, “However, the Ape General is still too inexperienced. There is naturally no need to say much about Phoenix General’s strength. I’m afraid that this battle will end very soon.”
“I see that the three battle generals have also arrived.” At the right time, Feng Lian arrived. Her eyes were staring straight at Victor’s figure, unwilling to part from it.
“Yes, altar master. After receiving the news, I thought of coming over to join in on the fun and also to admire Phoenix General’s techniques,” Long Yi explained.
“I see. However, has the other partic.i.p.ant been decided?”
“Yes, the Tiger General and Barbarian General spoke highly of me and agreed for me to be the other partic.i.p.ant.” Long Yi gave a fake smile and glanced at Tiger General and Barbarian General. The latter immediately reacted and echoed, “No such thing. The two of us are inexperienced and are unable to bear this heavy responsibility.”
Feng Lian naturally knew the true colors of this group of people and was too lazy to play games with them. After acknowledging it, she did not speak anymore.
On the other side, on the stage, Victor and the Ape General appeared one after another. The battle was about to start.
“Brother Zhang, are you sure you want me to use my full strength?” Faced with Victor’s request, the Ape General was somewhat hesitant.
Although he knew that he was not Victor’s opponent, he did not think that if he used his full strength, Victor could escape unscathed.
No matter what, he was still a cultivator at the completion stage of the core formation realm. How could his strength be compared to the slaughtering of pigs and dogs?
“Don’t worry, just go all out. If it’s too unconvincing, won’t it arouse the suspicion of others?” Victor chuckled and ended the voice transmission. He said loudly, “My demon beast isn’t here, so I won’t wait for it. I’ll fight two by myself.”
“Hehe, Phoenix General, although you’re powerful, isn’t fighting two on your own a little too arrogant?”
“Cut the c.r.a.p. I’ll fight you and your demon beast alone. What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and attack!”
According to the agreed script, after the two of them said their vicious words, the battle finally began!
Since it was one against two, Victor chose to strike first and attack the Ape General first!
However, Victor was lacking in strength since he did not have his demon beast. So, the impact of the Cloud-splitting Ape could not be ignored. After all, it was a beast and it did not understand what it meant to act. It roared and charged toward Victor!
Seeing this scene, the Ape General cried out in his heart!
No one knew the strength of the Cloud-splitting Ape better than him. If this punch was to smash down firmly, Victor would definitely be smashed into a pile of meat paste!
However, the speed of the Cloud-splitting Ape was too fast. He had no way of reprimanding it to stop. He could only watch helplessly as the two fists of the Cloud-splitting Ape were raised and smashed toward Victor!
However, in the next moment, the scene before his eyes shocked him so much that he could not close his mouth!
He could only see that in the face of the whistling wind-like smash, Victor actually managed to receive it with just one hand!
One had to know that the Cloud-splitting Ape was also a demon beast that was famous for its strength. Once its strength reached its peak, it could shatter mountains and split the earth!
However, a terrifying existence with a punch that was practically at its full strength, had actually been easily received by Victor. This scene had stunned everyone present!
