The old man with a red glow on his face paused in mid-air, not expecting that enemies were hidden within the forest below!
"Bang, bang, bang—"
At that moment, several towering ancient trees in the forest exploded, with broken branches flying and leaves scattering everywhere.
Standing at a height of five hundred zhang, the heavenly slayer demon ape revealed its terrifying presence.
Simultaneously, the demon ape's left hand, covered in purple-black fur, lightning-fast, grabbed the disciple who had reached great perfection of the divine soul realm!
“Ah! Lord steward, save me…”
“Crack!”
The disciple's desperate cries suddenly halted as the heavenly slayer demon ape crushed him to death, turning his ten divine souls to ash!
The sixty-year-old elder stared intently at the dark giant staff crashing down toward him, then glared at the demon ape, roaring, “Do you think this old man fears a mere fifth-level initial stage beast? Die!”
“Vroom—”
The sky within several thousand feet trembled and fractured. The elder swung his right arm downward to meet the incoming giant staff. Instantly, a thousand-foot-long, dazzling and domineering bolt of thunder power surged forth, crashing into the giant staff from below!
The elder felt a jolt of fear when he saw the unexpected fifth-level initial stage demon ape appear, yet he was confident that with his thunder sacred soul, he could easily defeat it!
However, he soon realized just how fragile his strength was under the blow of the heavenly slayer demon ape!
“Bang—”
“Boom—”
In the instant the thousand-foot thunder power struck the dark giant staff, it crumbled to dust!
“No! How can your strength be so formidable? Grandfather Ape, spare me! Let’s talk this over; I'm a steward of the eternal immortal sect!”
“My status is not low; I’m a VIP beside the young master! You can’t kill me!”
The elder was terrified and retreated in mid-air, pleading for mercy. At that moment, the five-hundred-foot tall heavenly slayer demon ape instantly shrunk to human height, and the massive staff in its hand also rapidly decreased in size!
The demon ape charged in close, swinging its right hand as the black staff struck the elder's right leg!
“Crack, crack!”
“Bang!”
With a clear sound of bones shattering, the elder's entire right leg exploded, and amidst the blood mist, his left leg also detonated!
“Ah! My leg…”
As the elder screamed in agony, the heavenly slayer demon ape bared its fangs menacingly, saying, “Get down!”
“Crack!”
The demon ape swung the staff, smashing the elder's right shoulder. Under the tremendous impact, the elder, now missing an arm and both legs, shot down toward the forest like a cannonball!
“Rustle—”
“Thud!”
As the leaves fell, the elder's body, spraying blood, crashed into the forest.
“Whoosh!”
The heavenly slayer demon ape descended, appearing beside the elder, pressing the black staff against the elder's head. “Shut up! From now on, without my master's command, you are not allowed to speak. Otherwise, I’ll make your head explode!”
The elder trembled in fear, nodding repeatedly to show he understood.
Meanwhile, he began to panic, thinking that the person the demon ape referred to as 'master' must be a strong individual!
Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to notice something, suddenly turning his head. When he saw Tan Yun approaching with bloodshot eyes and an aura of chilling killing intent, he was completely dumbfounded!
Tan Yun did not recognize the elder, but the elder had seen Tan Yun when he went to the eternal immortal sect to participate in the eternal land trial.
The elder was filled with confusion!
Wasn’t Tan Yun at the distant Huangfu Sacred Sect? How could he suddenly appear here?
Tan Yun was only at the sixth level of the divine soul realm! How could he possibly have a fifth-level initial stage super lackey?
Moreover, he clearly remembered that more than a decade ago, when Tan Yun participated in the eternal land trial, he was just at great perfection of the fetal soul realm. How could he have skyrocketed to the sixth level of the divine soul realm in just a few short years?
