“Senior Brother Liu?!” Yan Qun'er was taken aback, instinctively murmuring.
Although it had been nearly a hundred years since they last met, she recognized that familiar figure at first glance.
At this moment, it was as if they were back over two hundred years ago!
Even though the crisis had not yet been resolved, with that tall figure blocking her in front, Yan Qun'er felt a sense of peace in her heart.
For a moment, she was in a daze, unable to believe what she was seeing, thinking it was a hallucination appearing just before death.
During this moment of distraction, her golden jade ring lost control and its power diminished significantly, being knocked away by a slightly smaller golden giant ape with a single punch.
“Bang!!!”
After knocking the golden ring away, the golden giant ape's eyes turned blood-red, and it lunged towards Yan Qun'er like a golden lightning bolt, its legs propelling it forward with incredible speed.
In the enormous eyes of the demon, it seemed that only Yan Qun'er remained, as if they held an irreconcilable grudge, swearing to kill her.
“Whoosh whoosh”
The massive figure of the demon exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure.
As it passed through the area, it stirred up a strong gust of wind, causing the grass and trees to bow low.
“Not good!”
Yan Qun'er woke up, but during her moment of distraction, the golden giant ape had already closed in within half a mile, leaving her no time to execute an effective strategy.
She had accepted a mission from the Seven Nations Alliance and, taking advantage of the giant mountain ape clan's absence, had killed many of their young and low-ranking apes.
However, she never anticipated that she would be blocked at the entrance by two returning demon cultivators.
Protecting the clan's young was an instinct shared by many beings, including humans.
A clan that does not understand how to protect its young, regardless of its exceptional talents, is often eliminated by the harshness of natural selection, fading into the river of history.
With her actions, Yan Qun'er had already formed an irreversible hatred with the giant mountain ape clan!
Thus, it was not at all surprising that, even knowing Liu Yu's immense strength, the two demons would choose to recklessly seek revenge against the enraged late third-stage ape.
“Humph!”
“You vile beast, how dare you be so audacious?”
At a critical moment, Liu Yu let out a cold snort and summoned the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear.
“Buzz~”
Infusing it with body refinement and qi refinement magical power, the spear trembled instantly, its power maximized, and its shaft turned a blazing red.
“Whoosh~”
Aiming the spear's tip, flames of scarlet roared around it. Liu Yu skillfully swept it forward with one hand.
“Boom!!!”
The overwhelming force erupted, sending the mid-stage giant mountain ape flying back faster than it had come, crashing into a small mountain.
“Drip”
A drop of golden blood fell to the ground, immediately forming a deep pit.
Under the sharp edge of the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear, in just a brief exchange, that mid-stage giant mountain ape had nearly severed one of its hands.
“Junior Sister Yan, I apologize for the trouble.”
Liu Yu turned to say, and without waiting for Yan Qun'er to react, his enormous left hand enveloped her, grasping her in his palm.
At this time, having reached the late third stage in his star body cultivation, his body had grown to a towering height of nine zhang.
Holding the average-sized Yan Qun'er in his palm, his hand could completely cover her.
His eyes flashed a cold killing intent as he looked at the two demons, whose eyes flickered with fear yet were still unwilling to give up.
“Whoosh whoosh~”
With surging magical power circulating within him, he shot out in an instant, heading straight for the strongest late third-stage demon ape.
Thrusting his spear through the heart!
Golden-red spiritual light shone as Liu Yu chose to strike; at that moment, there was already no room for suspense.
