Boom!!
Ye Ningze was sent flying back several meters, his face flushed red. His right shoulder had taken a solid punch, his clothes torn. A searing pain twisted in his chest and abdomen.
Pfft!
He spat out another mouthful of blood. The protective spiritual light on his body had been completely eroded by the Tongbei Demon Ape's fist energy, rendering it utterly useless!
This time, Ye Ningze's true essence was severely depleted. He felt as if all the strength within him was being drained away.
I don't believe your body can truly be that tough. If this continues, you'll lose eventually!
Ye Ningze gritted his teeth.
If that's the case, then I'll fight to the death!
Ye Ningze's eyes turned cold. He raised the black saber in his hand and fiercely slashed at the Tongbei Demon Ape once more!
This saber strike carried an aura of utter destruction!
Ye Ningze's eyes were filled with madness. He had thrown caution to the wind, disregarding his own life and death.
His current actions were driven by a resolute determination to die.
Even if he had to die, he would never compromise with the Tongbei Demon Ape!
The Tongbei Demon Ape was taken aback by this.
The fur on its head bristled.
In Ye Ningze's eyes, there was no trace of fear or timidity, only an overwhelming madness and stubbornness.
Ye Ningze's expression caused the ferocious beast an inexplicable sense of dread!
Has this damned human brat been beaten silly by me?
Such a thought flashed through the Tongbei Demon Ape's mind.
However, the thought was fleeting. It was, after all, the master of this forest!
It could not tolerate its dignity being repeatedly challenged by this damnable human youth!
At a certain moment, the Tongbei Demon Ape's snow-white fur turned blood-red. It let out a roar to the heavens, and its already massive body began to swell once more.
Ye Ningze's heart leaped in alarm: This fellow can actually use secret techniques!
Ferocious beasts also possessed their own secret techniques, though they differed from human ones. Beast secret techniques were often embedded in the memories of their bloodline.
Only members of the same species could master them.
This Tongbei Demon Ape had clearly mastered such a technique, otherwise it wouldn't have transformed like this in an instant. Its fur had turned crimson.
This crimson hue was the Tongbei Demon Ape's own blood, its vital energy boiling and burning. Its inherent ferocity was ignited to its absolute peak.
In mere moments, its strength had increased by more than threefold!
Roar!!!
With a roar, the Tongbei Demon Ape's massive hands clawed fiercely at Ye Ningze!
This claw strike was like a mountain crashing down upon Ye Ningze, carrying an irresistible, overwhelming power!
With a single claw, it seemed as if the void itself was torn apart by deep fissures. The terrifying might made Ye Ningze dare not resist head-on!
Whoosh!
A flash of saber light streaked across the air. Crimson saber energy fiercely met the Tongbei Demon Ape's sky-obscuring giant palm.
The saber light struck the Tongbei Demon Ape's arm, instantly scattering countless sparks.
A deep bloody gash appeared on the Tongbei Demon Ape's massive arm!
Aow!!! The Tongbei Demon Ape cried out in pain, quickly retracting its giant palm.
This sight caused a flicker of surprise in Ye Ningze's eyes!
The strength of this Tongbei Demon Ape was far more formidable than Ye Ningze had anticipated!
Ye Ningze scrambled to respond, already panting heavily and appearing weary.
His true essence was severely depleted, and he needed to rest to recover.
He raised his gaze to the Tongbei Demon Ape, his expression grave.
The Tongbei Demon Ape, in turn, looked at Ye Ningze with a face so dark it seemed water could drip from it.
Ye Ningze's face was pale, and he stared intently at the Tongbei Demon Ape. He knew that the battle with the Tongbei Demon Ape had only just begun!
Roar!
The Tongbei Demon Ape let out an enraged roar and charged at Ye Ningze again, its speed astonishing. In the blink of an eye, it was before Ye Ningze.
Its massive arm, carrying a terrifying gale, slammed down fiercely at Ye Ningze!
The Tongbei Demon Ape threw a punch, the air exploding with a sound like thunder!
Ye Ningze dared not meet this blow head-on. His body flickered, evading it. He pushed off the ground and rapidly retreated into the distance.
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in the Tongbei Demon Ape's eyes.
Boom!
A dull thud echoed as the punch slammed into the ground.
The residual force of this blow shook the ground, creating a crater nearly ten zhang in diameter!
As soon as Ye Ningze regained his footing, the Tongbei Demon Ape pursued him relentlessly, charging at Ye Ningze like a cannonball.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!
The Tongbei Demon Ape was incredibly fast, leaving Ye Ningze no time to dodge.
In this instant, he could only meet the Tongbei Demon Ape's attack head-on.
Clang clang!
A sound of metal clashing rang out as Ye Ningze's saber met the Tongbei Demon Ape's fist!
Ye Ningze was sent flying back, his face pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swaying precariously.
The force of the punch left his entire arm numb, as if it had lost all sensation. Blood seeped from his wrist!
The Tongbei Demon Ape's ape claws were covered in tough, metallic scales. This punch had forcefully pried open Ye Ningze's hand, which was gripping the saber!
Ye Ningze managed a wry smile, acknowledging the Tongbei Demon Ape's true toughness.
The moment he was injured, Ye Ningze immediately retrieved several pills from his storage bag and swallowed them. Within moments, his injuries had completely healed.
Roar!!!
Seeing Ye Ningze recover his mobility, the Tongbei Demon Ape let out an enraged roar. It stomped its feet, and its massive body charged forward once more.
This time, Ye Ningze no longer evaded. Since it was like this, he would fight with all his might!!
Ye Ningze steeled his heart and urged his spiritual power once more!
Hum!
Fierce true essence circulated within his body, a surge of powerful vitality churning within him!
Then.
A colossal pillar of light condensed around Ye Ningze. A layer of pale blue mist continuously coiled around the pillar, faintly revealing the phantom image of a saber.
Slash!!
Ye Ningze’s saber cleaved down fiercely. A terrifying blade of light materialized out of thin air, carrying an endless sharpness, and descended upon the Tongbei Demon Ape!
Roar!! The Tongbei Demon Ape's massive claws clawed fiercely at the blade of light!
The two attacks collided, erupting in a blinding flash of light.
Within the radiance, their powers clashed fiercely, constantly canceling each other out, their offensive speeds increasing with each exchange.
