Chapter 197: Chapter 176: Ruthless Enough

"OOH OOH OOH."

Not far away, a rather mournful and furious cry rang out.

The Spiritual Ape that had been killed was discovered!

Xia Yu’s eyes narrowed.

Immediately after, a chorus of cries rose and fell, startling in number and terrifying in volume.

The pressure on everyone doubled.

Soon.

"SWOOSH."

A Spiritual Ape burst into everyone’s line of sight.

SHING!

In an instant, everyone’s gaze locked onto it.

Silence fell all around.

"SWOOSH."

The next moment, a figure descended from the sky, its Long Blade flashing with a cold white light. Before the Spiritual Ape could react, the blade plunged into its skull.

The force was so great that the entire blade sank in.

The hilt pressed against the top of its head.

The tip emerged from between its legs.

Fresh blood dripped from the tip of the blade.

DRIP.

DRIP.

The method was brutal.

The scene was gory.

Everyone subconsciously squeezed their legs together, a chill running up their spines.

"SQUELCH."

Little Flower pulled out the Long Blade. With a blank expression, it shot up from the ground, leaping several meters high, grabbing a branch, and swinging its body to hide securely amidst the dense foliage.

It vanished in the blink of an eye.

Even Hong She and Xie Shaokun couldn’t find a trace of it.

’So strong.’

As everyone came back to their senses, those were the two words that first appeared in their minds.

Whether it was its speed...

...or its power,

even though they were just ordinary people, they could still intuitively sense Little Flower’s immense strength.

’They’re this strong, but they still need so many of us as cannon fodder. It seems the enemy this time is even more dangerous than we imagined.’

Brother Dong and Second Sister-in-law had the exact same thought, their expressions turning grim.

Soon.

"OOH OOH OOH."

Two Spiritual Apes were drawing closer, a fact they could tell just from the cries and the rustling of leaves and branches.

Everyone’s hearts leaped into their throats once again.

’One female, one male.’

Xia Yu’s gaze was sharp. Peeking through a gap in the foliage, she vaguely glimpsed the two Spiritual Apes’ physical characteristics and was able to determine their gender, age, and strength. "Adult Spiritual Apes."

"Their strength is infinitely close to the First Grade Spiritual Ability Realm."

This was the normal level of strength for a Spiritual Ape.

"SWOOSH."

"OOH OOH OOH."

When the two Spiritual Apes appeared before the pile of rubble, they saw the abundance of ’tasty morsels’ and froze for a second, feeling as if happiness had come too suddenly. They were immediately overcome with ecstasy and were about to shriek with excitement.

"SWOOSH."

Little Flower attacked again.

"Superpower: Weakening."

"Superpower: Enhancement!"

To prevent the two Spiritual Apes from making too much noise, Hong She and Xie Shaokun both used their superpowers to provide support.

And then,

in an instant, the two Spiritual Apes felt a mortal threat. Their bodies felt constrained, and their condition seemed to have inexplicably plummeted. Even their reactions were half a beat too slow.

And then,

all they had time to do was tilt their heads back.

"SQUELCH."

"SQUELCH."

Gripping a Triangular Military Dagger in each hand, Little Flower precisely stabbed into the center of each Spiritual Ape’s brow.

Upon closer inspection, the position and angle of the daggers’ entry points were perfectly symmetrical.

"OOH OOH OOH."

The two Spiritual Apes feebly stretched out their claws, trying to grab Little Flower. Even at death’s door, their first thought wasn’t to beg for mercy, but to fight back!

To die with the enemy!

"SWOOSH."

Little Flower departed once more, its movements clean and efficient.

Hong She, meanwhile, looked down below and saw that much of the terror had faded from the expressions of the burly, bear-like man and the others. Their will to fight was stronger, and some of the bolder ones even had a look that said, ’These Spiritual Apes are nothing special.’

He shifted his gaze.

He saw Manager Hong and his group still trembling and quite frightened, but their emotions had stabilized considerably.

"Yu’s goal has been achieved."

Hong She said.

"Of course."

Xie Shaokun had unconditional trust in and admiration for Xia Yu, so he immediately replied, "Yu has never miscalculated. That feeling of having everything under control is truly reassuring."

"I’ve been with her for so long, and I always feel like she’s a robot."

"She’s so serious."

"She acts cautiously and methodically."

"I’ve never even seen her make a mistake. Isn’t that terrifying?"

Hong She nodded.

That was indeed very Xia Yu.

Even he was no match for her, which only made him more curious about her.

’What must a person go through to become like this?’

"Stop thinking about it."

Xie Shaokun clapped Hong She on the shoulder and stretched his body. His eyes were filled with a boundless will to fight as he said excitedly, "Based on my intuition, a large-scale battle is about to begin."

Hearing this, Hong She nodded. He had no doubt about it.

Based on what he knew and what Little Nannan had told him, Xie Shaokun’s intuition in combat was exceptionally sharp. You could say he was a natural-born fighter.
