Seeing this, Wu Fang immediately felt a strong sense of a death crisis rising in his heart. He hurriedly withdrew his hands to protect his chest. At the moment the punch hit his chest, he spat out three mouthfuls of black poison.
However, the poison was blocked by the Red-eyed Giant Ape with one hand and fell entirely on the back of its hand.
Just like before, the poison stuck like saliva, without any reaction.
His counterattack was ineffective, but the Red-eyed Giant Ape made its punch!
Even though Wu Fang had already used his arms to protect his chest, when all the impact hit his arms, Wu Fang still felt his brain shake violently. Following it was the transmission of pain, as if his chest was being cut open, and a hand reaching inside to squeeze his heart.
This suffocating sensation instantly spread throughout his body, leaving him powerless.
At that moment, he even felt his heart had stopped.
Up to now, how could he not understand that the person in front of him was not human, but a Great Demon who had concealed its qi.
And it was a Middle Profound Realm Great Demon!
However, realizing this is now pointless.
Wu Fang was directly hit by a punch and smashed onto a small hill, the blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth within the night was so clear. With the night’s rendering, the blood became even colder.
Ling Yun softly called out, rushing a few steps to Wu Fang’s side, then quickly supported him as he laid on the hillside, urgently asking, "Hong Ye, are you alright?"
Wu Fang swallowed the blood in his mouth, sending it back into his stomach like water, then said with a trembling voice, "Master, this is a Great Demon that has concealed its realm, already at the Middle Profound Realm!"
"Middle Profound Realm Great Demon!"
Ling Yun immediately focused her gaze on the Red-eyed Giant Ape.
In the dark night, the person who had punched Wu Fang away seemed very sturdy, with Wu Fang’s stature appearing like a child in front of him. She couldn’t believe there was a Middle Profound Realm Great Demon above the Starless Sect.
Middle Profound Realm, none other than a giant dominator.
How could one sleep on such a desolate hill?
Although she thought it a little far-fetched, Ling Yun had to believe Wu Fang because she couldn’t discern the opponent’s strength. Wu Fang was a demon, so he knew demons better and could tell what realm the person who hit him was in with a test.
Wu Fang suddenly stood up again at this moment, using his hunched body to block in front of Ling Yun, saying, "Master, you go do your thing, Hong Ye will restrain this Great Demon for you!"
"There’s no but, if we delay any longer, my ten years of life will be wasted."
Having said that, Wu Fang swiftly crouched on the ground, transforming his arms into forelegs and legs into hind legs, and quickly revealing his demon form—an imposing red steed, but with claws on its hooves, and fangs in its mouth.
The Red-eyed Giant Ape was surprised seeing this and murmured, "Wu Fang?"
As a Demon King, the desire to subdue Great Demons instantly surged within.
Wu Fang being an extremely rare Great Demon, the whole East Lake might not have a second one. If it grows to the Middle Profound Realm, the poison from its mouth could instantly erode a Lower Profound Realm person, turning them into lifeless bones.
Having such a Great Demon as a minion would surely bring prestige!
The thought of killing him with a punch slowly disappeared from the mind.
On the other side, seeing Wu Fang already prepared to risk his life, Ling Yun unwillingly turned around and tried heading towards the mountain top.
The Red-eyed Giant Ape snorted instantly, sneering, "Little lady, did you think you could leave after finishing your business?"
With those words falling, the Red-eyed Giant Ape shot forward explosively!
Raising a fist towards Ling Yun’s back, seeing this, Wu Fang quickly leaped and ran furiously on four hooves behind Ling Yun, then raised his head, baring his teeth, ready to confront the punch from the Red-eyed Giant Ape.
The Red-eyed Giant Ape reached beside Wu Fang, raising its hand and directly swatted Wu Fang flying.
A Lower Profound Realm Great Demon was like a mosquito to the Red-eyed Giant Ape.
Ling Yun, turning her head, saw Wu Fang being swatted away, and the approaching Great Demon was imminently close. In desperation, she had to open the Meridian Gate on her left hand.
The Vibrating Vein Sound rang out.
With the shock of the Meridian Gate, Ling Yun took out a bell.
After the sound, endless streamers shot out of the bell, darting at the Red-eyed Giant Ape.
"Dare hurt my mount, then I will show you my Great Success Realm Yellow Level Middle Grade Vein Technique!"
This move of infinite streamers was intended for her competition opponents; they were the real enemies of this bounty. She had intended to use this move to kill a Middle Profound Realm opponent to spread her reputation.
But now with a Middle Profound Realm Great Demon suddenly emerging from Yunlan Mountain, beating her Wu Fang like a dog, she couldn’t take it anymore. Tonight, she would use this Yellow Level Middle Grade Vein Technique to kill the Great Demon before her, even if it meant the Profound Middle Realm cultivators in Cangwu City sensing the battle aura on Yunlan Mountain doesn’t matter.
She wouldn’t take the head bounty of Wen Ping tonight.
But she would surely face this Middle Profound Realm Great Demon!
When the streamers reached the Red-eyed Giant Ape, a scream of pain was heard coming from the Red-eyed Giant Ape.
Accompanied by the painful cry, the Red-eyed Giant Ape slowly took steps back.
Ling Yun continued to glare coldly at the opponent, the sound of the bell intensified, increasing the number of streamers.
However, due to the overwhelming amount of streamers, they also fluttered around.
Any tree trunk touched by the streamers would be directly pierced, regardless of how thick it was.
A sapling snapped with a sound.
Then, the second, the third...
Seeing the opponent being suppressed, Ling Yun instantly flashed a smile, "Great Demon, this is the price for blocking me!"
The Red-eyed Giant Ape originally used its arm to block the streamers, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the saplings it had planted being mostly destroyed by the cautious streamers, its blood-red eyes suddenly turning cold. With a single stomp on the ground, an angry roar was issued.
The slumbering night was instantly awakened by the roar!
Ling Yun’s smile abruptly ceased.
Upon that stomp, the Red-eyed Giant Ape revealed its true form!
Standing three zhang tall in front of Ling Yun, moving towards her like a small mountain.
Seeing this scene made Ling Yun’s face instantly pale.
Retreating several steps, the sound of the bell ceased!
Ling Yun couldn’t possibly have imagined; the Great Demon before her wasn’t an ordinary Great Demon but a Demon King with regal dominance.
Rumors said Demon Kings rivaled Upper Realm Cultivators, and even Upper Realm Cultivators did not dare provoke them.
Their strength crushed Middle Profound Realm like squeezing vegetables.
If they ever ventured out of their territory, none could oppose them throughout East Lake.
And such overlord was planting trees in this Immortal Sect!
Unintentionally, retreat was already forming in her heart!
She understood well, if she didn’t retreat now, she might die here tonight.
Ling Yun immediately shouted, "Hong Ye, go!"
But as she shouted, the Red-eyed Giant Ape had already grabbed the rushing Wu Fang in one hand and stuffed him directly into its mouth. With a crackle, even Wu Fang’s bones were instantly crushed.
Then, a giant hand swung at Ling Yun!
Ling Yun quickly released the Vein Technique to block it, but the infinite streaming light was directly scattered like swatting mosquitoes.
The next moment, Ling Yun was swatted away.
Flying over ten meters, she fell under a gnarled ancient tree.
Ling Yun immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood, with intense pain rushing from her chest, and her brain felt dizzy, unable to maintain the opening of the Meridian Gate.
Just as she was planning to struggle to get up and escape, she was pinched by the Red-eyed Giant Ape between two fingers, brought right under its gaze.
The Red-eyed Giant Ape deeply breathed, causing Ling Yun’s disheveled hair to flutter backward, and covering her face with some mucus.
Then the Red-eyed Giant Ape tossed her to the broken saplings, angrily saying, "Little lady, if you cannot replant these trees of my king, my king will eat you!"
