Sii…
After hearing the loud roar came out from the Armored Ape King, thousands of Demonic Beasts around it kneeled on the ground. None of them dared to move a single muscle. Its fury was so dominating that no other Demonic Beasts had the guts to go against it. As he just killed the Crimson Haired Lion with one single punch, all the Demonic Beasts and even Chen Xiaobei were left in a shocked state.
In order to live longer, one should not be afraid of death. March towards it and one shall survive. The loud roar from the Armored Ape King had brought out the core values of the high-tier Demonic Beasts. To them, the reason why Demonic Beasts got to live so long amongst humans was because they were not afraid of death.
“The Crimson Lion is afraid of death! He missed a golden opportunity to defeat our enemies! That is why I have decided to execute him! Those that dare make the same mistake, I will grant them a death sentence as well!”
Armored Ape King’s words pierced though every single Demonic Beasts’ hearts like a sharp arrow. From today onwards, none of them would dare to disobey the order anymore. After he had finished dealing with the internal affair, the Armored Ape King turned around and looked at Chen Xiaobei.
“Kid! Do you know that you have messed my plan? In order to execute this plan properly, I have prepared for almost a year! You just made me miss the golden opportunity! All the Northern Wilderness soldiers will definitely be more cautious when we use the same strategy again! In other words, you have just destroyed everything that I have done!” said the Armored Ape King in an angry manner.
“I’m the one that destroyed it! So what?!”
As usual, Chen Xiaobeia cted really calm. In his heart, he was actually feeling really nervous. He had no doubt just encountered a foe that was way more powerful than him.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Middle phase of Celestial Cultivation. Lifespan: 1,300 years. Health: 180,000. Combat power: 100,000!]
Using the Netherspirit Battlescouter, Chen Xiaobei managed to examine the true strength of the Armored Ape King. After examining its combat power, he determined it was slightly lower than his. However, his health was at Ethereal Cultivation level! That was definitely ridiculous. Clearly, this was the talent of the Demonic Beast. They did not have weapons, martial art skills, or Qi skills but they had talents that came with them when they were born to this world.
Seemingly, Armored Ape King’s talent had something to do with defence. To Chen Xiaobei’s surprise, he had never expected that Armored Ape King had such high health! Initially, he had thought that this Armored Ape King was like the silver-tier Demonic Beast that he encountered earlier. But now, he was worried that he might not be able to defeat it even if he came out with all the items that he had in treasure chest.
“What did you just say? I’m going to tear your skin apart! Eat your flesh and drink your blood!”
It had seemed that the Armored Ape King had poured out a lot of effort to prepare for this Beast Horde. At the same time, he was looking forward to devouring six Silver Plume Regiment Soldiers. With that, he would be awarded with honor and a reward. Now that the honor and reward that he was supposed to receive were all but gone, wrath rushed up his heart when he knew that his dream had just fell from heaven to hell.
Now that it knew Chen Xiaobei was the one that caused its dream to crumble, it would certainly use the most brutal methods to torture and kill Chen Xiaobei.
“Since you want to battle me! I will stay here and do it with you! As for whether you can kill me or not, we will see if you are powerful enough to do so!”
At the most, Chen Xiaobei had a thirty percent chance of defeating it. This was, however, a golden opportunity for him to gather more combat experience. Knowing that its combat power was lower than him, Chen Xiaobei was confident enough that the Armored Ape King would not be able to kill him.
“Kid? Where did you find this courage? How dare you talk to me like that? I have killed tens of thousands of humans so far! I think I’m powerful enough to kill you!”
Immediately, the Armored Ape King charged at Chen Xiaobei.
“That kid is so dead… How dare he taunt our king?! I don’t think he knows how to spell the word, death!”
“That’s right… The Armored Ape King’s talent is usually powerful! Other humans that have the same combat power with him end up being tortured to death! Not even humans that possess an additional 10,000 to 20,000 combat power could defeat it!”
“It do our king good to kill that kid… By doing so, all his anger will be released and he would not make our life more difficult than it already is!”
Clearly, none of the Demonic Beasts thought that Chen Xiaobei could defeat the Armored Ape King. The truth was that Chen Xiaobei did not think that he could defeat it as well. All he wanted to do was to gather more combat experience.
Swoosh!
Armored Ape King’s fists were about to land on Chen Xiaobei like a rain or meteors. Such a terrifying attack had amounted to around 40 tonnes destructive force! Just like how Crimson Haired Lion ended, it had the same intention to crush Chen Xiaobei into a meat pile. Before its fists landed on Chen Xiaobei, the shockwave from the fists had caused the leaves and sand around him to fly around.
One could imagine that those that were slightly weaker than Chen Xiaobei would definitely be killed instantly. The reason why Chen Xiaobei could stand there so calmly was because he was powerful enough to defeat the Armored Ape King. His true strength was that he had achieved 80,100 combat power. With Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Skill, he could achieve up to 104,030 combat power! Because of his health limitations, he could only achieve 100,500 combat power at his max! It was only slightly higher than Armored Ape King.
Swish!
Seeing that the fists were about to approach him, Chen Xiaobei swung his sword immediately. Considering that his cultivation, consciousness, responsiveness, and speed were quite powerful, he could wield off the attack with ease.
“Eh? How old is the kid? As an outsider, how did he possess such powerful cultivation?” said the Armored Ape King who was taken aback.
It knew that Chen Xiaobei was powerful enough to instill fear in all the other Demonic Beasts, but it never thought that he had achieved such high level of cultivation. Judging by his age and living life without the resources from Silver Plume nobles, he could definitely be considered as one of the rarest prodigies! Of course, the Armored Ape King was shocked by Chen Xiaobei’s cultivation but its intenton to battle was resolute.
“I know that you are quite powerful! But! I can easily defeat humans that are powerful than me!” roared Armored Ape King.
Surprisingly, his attack did not become weaker but it actually became even more powerful!
Shinng!
The moment the fists and the sword clashed together, a loud and sharp sound could be heard. The destructive force created by the two attacks caused the ground to shatter and it blew away everything around them. Ironically, they were actually as equally powerful!
However, Chen Xiaobei was forced to take ten steps back while the Armored Ape King had only taken one step back. One could see who was the more powerful one here.
A war was about to break out!
