Chapter 1048 Red Ape; Slaughter_2

"Not only are those two Red Apes at Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, but that One-Eyed Cultivator is also a Seventh-Layer Body Cultivator."

She withdrew her Divine Sense, turning her head to look at Qing Jun,

"Qing Jun, it seems the three attackers are all Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. Although their cultivation is considerably higher than ours, with the cooperation of the Vine King and the methods taught by the Master, we can certainly fight them off. Helping won’t pose too much risk."

The little girl could no longer hold back after hearing this:

"Then what are we waiting for! We can’t wait any longer; the big monkey is bullying Su! If something happens to Su, Qing Jun won’t learn the medicinal cuisine, and you won’t get to eat it today!"

Jin’er smiled softly, knowing that her senior sister claimed it was for the medicinal cuisine, but in reality, deep down, she wanted to save Su Qingdai’s life.

However,

She considered that the Master’s trip to Yan Nan was originally for the Medicine King Valley. If Su Qingdai, a greatly significant True Inheritor of Medicine King Valley, was attacked and killed, it might disrupt the Master’s plans.

With this thought, Jin’er whispered:

"That’s right, let’s loosen up a bit, then."

...

On the other side.

Su Qingdai wielded her magic skills, straining to fend off the attacks from the two Demon Apes with her long sword.

The little snake on her shoulder was lethargic, having suffered considerable injuries in the previous magical battle.

"Senior Sister Su!"

The two injured fellow sect members barely stood by Su Qingdai’s side; the sword-bearing male cultivator wiped the blood by his lips, gritting his teeth:

"Senior Sister, they are targeting you. Let us hold them off..."

"No. You can’t hold them... For now, only by cooperating can we drag this out until the sect elders realize, avoiding being picked off one by one."

Su Qingdai forced herself to stay calm, feeling slightly relieved with help from two sect members.

But they were only at Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer and injured, clearly unable to endure much longer...

Su Qingdai caught a glimpse of her fellow members taking more hits, feeling both alarmed and enraged, her anxiety growing.

"The True Inheritor of Medicine King Valley, is that all?"

The One-Eyed man sneered, his fists burning with red flame even fiercer, advancing step by step, while the two Demon Apes recklessly attacked without fear of death.

Since these people dared to strike,

they must have been well prepared, not worried that Su Qingdai and the others could wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"Could it be... that today, I will die here in shame?"

Su Qingdai’s face turned slightly pale, bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and her eyes were full of unwillingness.

Years ago,

She obtained the Dragon Blood Bodhi in Luoxiao Grotto Heaven, clearly establishing a solid foundation, with Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer within reach... and she still had the confidence to strive for the future Golden Core Path.

Yet today, at Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, she was about to be defeated here.

She only regretted her past obsession with Alchemy Dao, although her cultivation was refined, her magical battle skills were lacking.

"Big monkey—take this!!"

Suddenly, a youthful but boisterous shout echoed.

This unexpected voice caused everyone in the battlefield to pause.

Before One-Eyed Dragon could regain his composure, a small fist unexpectedly slammed into his back.

"Uh..."

One-Eyed Dragon immediately felt an unimaginable immense force surging like an overturned sea, and his prideful fiery golden body was shattered by this single punch, dispersing his protective energy!

He staggered back several steps, barely managing to stabilize himself.

"Who?! Who ambushed me?!"

One-Eyed Dragon turned around, shocked and furious.

Only to see behind him standing a twelve or thirteen-year-old Little Young Master in Red Clothes, lips red and teeth white, handsome like a demon.

"..."

One-Eyed Dragon felt a jolt in his heart; if a young cultivator had come, he wouldn’t be so apprehensive. But it was an inexperienced child in front of him!

"Ambush? Does fighting you, big monkey, require an ambush?"

The Little Young Master in Red Clothes retorted crisply, eager and excited,

"You clearly couldn’t react; why call it a sneak attack!"

She held the green essence at her waist, with nine True Seals hiding the swords inside, Sword Qi pervaded, making hearts skip.

One-Eyed Dragon’s vicious nature honed in Yan Nan’s battles had long become deeply rooted; he knew this person aimed to take his life. Since the plot to assassinate the True Inheritor of Medicine King Valley had been exposed, there was no reason to stop.

His eyes flashed with fierceness:

"Which little brat dares to meddle in my business! Rip him apart!!"

"Roar—!!"

The two Red Apes twisted their massive bodies, instantly abandoning the nearly-dead two other disciples of Medicine King Valley and smashed the ground as they rushed towards the Little Young Master in red from both sides!

"Careful! These two beasts possess immense strength, don’t engage them head-on!"

Seeing this, Su Qingdai cried out in alarm.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground collapsed.

Dozens of vines burst from the earth, their venomous thorns gleaming, entangling the Demon Ape’s ankles and winding upward along its leg bones. The vines were incredibly tough, constricting into flesh, piercing with poison!

"Ow!"

The Demon Ape roared in pain, struggling violently.

Yet the Vine King was also late-stage Foundation Establishment, a rare Demon Plant!

The Way of Heaven depletes the surplus and replenishes the deficient.

Demon Plants have difficulty achieving the Dao, being tightly bound by restrictions.

But once they do achieve the Dao, they possess unique traits, making them formidable within the same rank.

No matter how the Demon Ape pounded and tore, the vines only tightened further, causing its leg bones to creak loudly, drawing cries of pain.

"Qing Sui, go!"

Seeing this, Qing Jun’s slender fingers brushed across the sword’s blade, and nine True Seals transformed into sword beams, slashing out!

"Rip..."

The sword beams manifested in mid-air, yet they were not aimed at the Demon Ape.

The young girl seemed reckless, but her talent in magical battles was high; she understood the key and decisively abandoned the Demon Ape in front, directly slashing towards the One-Eyed Cultivator!

The One-Eyed Dragon’s cold light stood erect, prompting an immediate dread:

"Who on earth is this... What magic is this... What cultivation level is this?!"

A moment of life and death.

The One-Eyed Dragon exhausted all his means, barely escaping with his life, yet his abdomen was sliced by the sword beams, bleeding profusely.

"True Inheritor Su, strike quickly!"

Qing Jun took a moment to turn her head and shout at the still somewhat dazed Su Qingdai.

She had conferred with Jin’er, agreeing not to expose identities.

So Jin’er refrained from intervening, as using fire magic would easily be recognized by Su Qingdai.

As for Qing Jun, she was adept in the use of True Seals, sufficient in hiding them within the sword so they were not detected by outsiders.

"Junior brother, junior sister, let’s assist him quickly!"

Su Qingdai reluctantly gathered some spiritual power, sacrificed essence blood, feeding it to the little snake on the brink of death.

The already languid little snake, having consumed the qi-blood, seemed rejuvenated, shooting out once more.

Its body inflated rapidly mid-air with the wind, transforming into a massive green serpent several yards long, coiling around one of the Demon Apes bound by vines!

The two fellow sect members behind also bit down on healing spirit pills, struggling to stand, and rushed towards the other Demon Ape.

Although they were at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer, they had deeply learned the True Inheritor Yao Wang’s teachings, barely able to contend with the late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Rumble—

Magic emerged together, screams were continuous.

In a mere few moments, dozens of exchanges had occurred.

"Big monkey, your life is mine!"

Qing Jun seized an opportunity, seeing the One-Eyed Dragon wounded by Su Qingdai, she held Qing Sui, her toes stepping into a circle of air waves in the void, immediately charging towards the One-Eyed Dragon.

"Slice!"

The sword gleamed, the One-Eyed Dragon only felt heaven spinning, his fine head tumbling to the ground, dying right there.

As for the other two Demon Apes, even their strength exceeded the One-Eyed Dragon’s, but faced with the newly joined Qing Jun, Jin’er, and Vine King, they too were doomed, dying in succession.

"Thank you, fellow cultivator, for your assistance..."

Su Qingdai hadn’t finished speaking before seeing the Little Young Master rushing to the headless corpse like an arrow from a bow.

"Big fat sheep! Such a big fat sheep!"

Qing Jun exclaimed excitedly, skillfully reaching out and grabbing, spiritual light flickered, swiftly throwing the contents of the waist-bound Storage Bag and the broken pieces of the Magical Treasure into the Storage Bag.

This seamless looting maneuver made Su Qingdai’s lips twitch slightly in the distance.

This... this little cultivator, has probably killed quite a few people, right?

No.

The little cultivator is quite young, with a pure aura, likely hasn’t stained much blood, probably learned this from family...

"Young Master, there are two more here."

Jin’er also joined, sweeping her long sleeves, the vines wrapped around the Demon Ape corpses, sinking them into the earth.

"Oh, nearly forgot!"

The little girl said delightedly,

"Although they’ve become corpses, they are Foundation Establishment Seventh-Layer Demon Beasts! Definitely worth a lot of money, maybe..."

Saying this, she glanced at the One-Eyed Dragon.

Yet, recalling her master’s teachings, she shook her head, quickly pinching a strand of spiritual fire, burning the One-Eyed Dragon to ashes.

"Whew... cough cough..."

The crisis resolved, Su Qingdai finally relaxed, barely managing to tuck Qing Huan into her sleeve, looked at these two strange individuals who had suddenly appeared with some lingering fear.

"Thank you... thank you both for your help. Without you two benefactors today, we three brothers and sisters would likely have perished in this Ant Market corner."

Su Qingdai held her chest, exhaled a breath of stale air, and gave a respectful bow to the two little girls.

The delicate female cultivator with a broken right arm and the sword-bearing male cultivator struggling to stand also supported each other, stepping forward, with mixed expressions.
