A Single Slash (For the Warm Sun Alliance Leader's Extra Update, Sixth Update)
Under continuous injuries, the golden-backed savage ape king became even more brutal and ferocious. Its muscles bulged and expanded, and terrifying black power surrounded its arms like hammers of destruction.
Every blow it struck against the ground created large craters several meters deep.
In contrast, every collision with Li Hao sent his blood and energy boiling, causing his blood vessels to rupture, and even shattering his battle armor.
Despite this, the momentum around Li Hao grew increasingly frenzied.
As he swung the iron pillar, it seemed as if blood-colored true power surged forth, each blow exploding the air and creating horrifying white shockwaves, making him appear like a madman.
Faced with such a crazed Li Hao, even the golden-backed savage ape dared not to underestimate him, afraid to let the iron pillar, carrying such terrifying power, land on him or even his head.
Whenever the golden-backed savage ape king attempted to unleash a full-force attack on this dangerous human, Xia Youhui would run out from the side to distract it.
Holding the Heavy Shield, Xia Youhui's defense was formidable, barely managing to block the golden-backed savage ape’s full onslaught, although each strike would leave him exhausted.
However, whenever Chen Chu and Li Hao drew its attention, he would have a moment to catch his breath and recover.
Thus, whenever Li Hao was blasted away, Xia Youhui would use the true martial black tortoise moving mountains to forcibly redirect the golden-backed savage ape’s attacks onto the Heavy Shield.
This taunting tactic enraged the golden-backed savage ape, causing it to miss several opportunities for a follow-up attack.
As if that wasn’t enough, it also had to be wary of that unparalleled sharp-edged insect.
Boom!
Li Hao, wielding the iron pillar, clashed head-on with the golden-backed savage ape once more, with his lower body being slammed deep into the ground by the terrifying force, creating a scene as if the earth itself was upheaving.
Under Li Hao's desperate and frenzied strike, the golden-backed savage ape staggered back a couple of steps.
At that moment, the air behind it exploded, and Chen Chu appeared like a shadow on its left side, his straight knife exuding black blade qi, slicing through everything.
Having fought for so long, despite Chen Chu leaving dozens of deep wounds on the left hind leg of the savage ape, only two of those wounds were in the same spot.
This savage ape, though seemingly violent, was actually very cautious, always on guard against Chen Chu targeting the same spot with consecutive attacks.
But this time, seizing the moment when the ape hesitated, Chen Chu once again grabbed the opportunity, the blade light leaving a trail in the air as it struck down on the largest wound in the bend of its leg.
Puff! The blade qi tore through the sinewy muscle, layer by layer, finally cutting into the muscular bone of the golden-backed savage ape's thick leg, the blade even penetrating several inches deep.
However, just then, Chen Chu sensed a strong surge of danger; he saw the muscles around the wound suddenly tighten, clamping down on the straight knife.
At the same time, the golden-backed savage ape, which had seemingly been pushed back by Li Hao, revealed a ferocious expression, its massive body suddenly turning around, its right arm’s muscles swelling.
A terrifying power was gathering, the black light swirling ominously.
Boom! The enormous black fist exploded through the air, blocking out the sun. Before it even landed, the resulting fierce wind and pressure made Chen Chu feel short of breath.
In that moment, the savage ape king's blood-red eyes glinted with an incredibly fierce light, as if it was saying to Chen Chu, “Finally caught you, insect.”
Yet, as a sinister smile appeared on the ape king's face, there was no sign of panic on Chen Chu's.
“You think you're the only one with great strength?”
In his calm voice, Chen Chu’s left arm’s muscles inflated like a balloon, and his raging power erupted, akin to a furious giant elephant.
