Chapter 696 - 478: Treasure Acquired, Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape
"Boom..."
A path nearly fifteen hundred zhang long appeared, entangled with many Great Daos, and broke with a booming sound. The Dao Power swept in all directions, surging from the Void World into the real world, with many Great Daos continuously roaring.
The entire mountains and rivers trembled as if a dragon beneath the ground was turning over, some large mountains collapsed on the spot, and huge rocks rolled down.
Dharma Demon Saint Celestial Horned Elephant, die!
Even on the fiercely battling battlefield, many people took the time to look this way.
"How is this possible..."
The Two-headed Dog Saint looked at the scene before him in shock, having an urge to flee, but he knew if he dared to escape, the Demon Race would never let him go, and the Three-Eyed Toad Saint would be the first to kill him.
He was a member of the Demon Heaven Alliance, which had stricter rules compared to the Human Race’s Demon Hunter Organization.
[Slay Celestial Horned Elephant Saint, gain 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 3,000 years of Martial Saint Power]
[Ordinary Power: 3,810,000 years]
[Martial Saint Power: 3,000 years]
Wei Fan didn’t immediately go to kill the Two-headed Dog Saint but instead reached out with a large hand to collect the corpse of the Celestial Horned Elephant Saint; this was material for cultivating the Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Skill and couldn’t be missed.
In fact, the main reason he had been entangled with the Two-headed Dog Saint and the Celestial Horned Elephant Saint for so long was that he needed the Celestial Horned Elephant Saint’s body for training. The damage to the body couldn’t be too severe, and finally he managed to leave the Celestial Horned Elephant Saint completely intact, with the corpse almost untouched.
"Die!"
After storing the Celestial Horned Elephant Saint’s corpse, he turned to look at the Two-headed Dog Saint, whose fierce gaze almost scared the Two-headed Dog Saint into fleeing.
"Wei Fan..."
Suddenly, a shout came from afar. Wei Fan turned his head to see Li Jianchen covered in blood, with terrifying wounds running through his body, intestines exposed, barely holding on.
The two Saint Realm enemies besieging him were far stronger than him, even more so than the Golden Lion King of the past, and at this critical moment, another Dharma Demon Saint was attacking from afar.
"Hold on!"
Wei Fan stopped caring about the Two-headed Dog Saint and turned to rush towards Li Jianchen’s direction.
In fact, other Town Territory Envoys were also breaking out, trying to rescue Li Jianchen and protect the Transformation Path Wondrous Object, but their opponents were Dharma Martial Saints from the Demon Heaven Alliance, whom they could only match, unable to break through quickly.
Moreover, there were many enemies around Li Jianchen as well; if the battlefield shifted there, Li Jianchen would be in even greater danger.
With a distance of several dozen li, not even a Martial Saint Powerhouse could cross it in the blink of an eye, but Li Jianchen’s situation was already critical.
With a thought, Wei Fan’s forehead shone, and the Jiaolong Sunset Bow and Dragon Horn Arrow appeared in his hands.
He bent the bow and nocked the arrow, locking onto his target in one smooth motion.
His muscles swelled, Divine Power surged, and he pulled the Jiaolong Sunset Bow into a full moon, Dao Power flooding in like a tide, top-level Holy Soldier fluctuations shattered the sky, and in an instant, there was thunder and lightning.
"Boom!"
The next moment, Wei Fan loosened his fingers, and the Dragon Horn Arrow transformed into a thick lightning bolt that pierced the sky, roaring out.
His target was that Human Martial Saint, also a Sword Dao expert, and most of the wounds on Li Jianchen were left by him.
"You court death!"
However, he didn’t have time to see the result of this shot, as the Two-headed Dog Saint had already revealed his true form, seizing the moment to pounce.
"Boom!"
In a critical moment, Wei Fan used the Jiaolong Sunset Bow as a weapon, swinging it around to hit the oncoming Two-headed Dog Saint, who flew back like a ball, crashing into a mountain and splitting it open, rocks flying everywhere.
He continued to fly, like rolling thunder across the sky, piercing the heavens.
Turning his gaze back, that Human Martial Saint had not been killed by his arrow, seemingly having dodged it. The Dragon Horn Arrow created a bottomless hole in the ground, with underground spring water gushing out.
Evidently, the distance was too far, allowing the opponent to dodge, but although it didn’t injure him, it alleviated some of Li Jianchen’s crisis.
This person was dressed in a black robe, wearing a mask that could obscure one’s aura, clearly afraid of being recognized while snatching food from the Demon Hunter Organization’s mouth, hiding his identity.
However, Wei Fan wasn’t from Jinzhou, so even if the opponent didn’t hide his identity, he wouldn’t recognize him.
"Let’s see how many arrows you can dodge!"
His forehead flickered, and the Demon Horn Arrow appeared in his hand.
He rarely used the Demon Horn Arrow because, under normal circumstances, once the Dragon Horn Arrow was released, the enemy would be shot and killed, with almost no one able to escape.
However, the Saint Realm was clearly different from other realms. With extraordinary speed, reaction, and Martial Arts Spiritual Sense, the arrows shot from the Jiaolong Sunset Bow no longer had a guaranteed kill capability.
Racing forward, he once again bent the bow and nocked the arrow, as the Demon Horn Arrow emitted a chilling black light.
As his fingers released, a black light, swift as lightning, flashed across the heavens, nearly instantaneously reaching the masked Human Martial Saint’s side.
Unlike the Dragon Horn Arrow, the Demon Horn Arrow didn’t have such a grand momentum, and only when it was about to hit did the masked Martial Saint react.
At the last possible moment, the figure flickered and shifted in the void, with the Demon Horn Arrow grazing past his body, trailing black light.
Even so, the divine light on his body shattered in an instant, half of his body lost its vitality, and his flesh withered, like a mummy dead for hundreds of years.
"Pfft..."
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
The Demon Horn Arrow was originally refined by Wei Fan from the horn of the Five-Colored Demon Bull race’s clan leader in the Wilderness. It possesses a terrifying ability to extinguish vitality. When Wei Fan was struck once, even his palm withered.
The masked man’s eyes were filled with astonishment. His aura weakened, and he didn’t hesitate anymore. He turned his head, ready to flee.
"Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies Demon Suppression Fist!"
However, even if Wei Fan had not yet rushed to the battlefield, he wasn’t far away. He immediately threw a punch across the air, drawing out the Great Dao from heaven and earth, enveloping the masked man like a cage, blocking all escape routes.
With the fusion of the Earth Emperor’s Saint Slaying Technique and the Scripture of the Three Emperors, the power of the Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies Demon Suppression Fist far exceeded that of the past, carrying a trace of the Emperor’s aura.
As the void collapsed, the masked man instantly fell into the Void World, no longer caring about killing Li Jianchen to seize the Transformation Path Wondrous Object.
"Spare me!"
The aura of the Great Dao spread, and the masked man begged loudly for mercy.
If he were in his peak state, he could have withstood Wei Fan’s punch, but the Demon Horn Arrow took away more than half of his vitality, leaving him with only half of his strength.
Wei Fan naturally wouldn’t spare him. A dozen fists struck simultaneously, blasting the masked man on the spot in the Void World, leaving no corpse or bones behind.
He didn’t even look at the result because Li Jianchen was barely holding on, but with the collapse of the Dao, he knew the masked man had been slain.
After throwing a punch, he pointed a finger across the air.
Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger!
Although the Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger’s level was too low to kill a Demon Saint, it was quite suitable for the "besiege Wei to rescue Zhao" tactic because this low-level martial technique didn’t involve the Great Dao, allowing for free use without preparation.
A dragon-head-sized finger shattered the void, smashing apart the shadow of a club aimed at Li Jianchen by the Demon Saint, and the terrifying ripples even flipped Li Jianchen over.
The next moment, Wei Fan flashed over, supporting Li Jianchen, pouring boundless Qi Blood to help him recover from his injuries.
Even someone as composed as Li Jianchen felt a lingering fear at this moment; he had almost died.
"Hand over the Transformation Path Wondrous Object, and I will spare your lives!" The Demon Saint bellowed from the opposite side, exuding a violent aura as his blood qi surged, with demon qi soaring to the heavens.
He held a golden great club in his hand, with naturally formed Dao Marks on it. Each end had a ring, with patterns compensating, and his whole body was covered in golden fur, his eyes radiating a divine light that pierced the soul.
This was an Ape Demon, but unlike any Ape Demon Wei Fan had seen before. It didn’t have a wide mouth or fangs but had contours very similar to the Human Race, a Thunder God’s face, and a sharp mouth.
He wore a ring on top of his head, covered in Dao Runes, with sporadic Dao Yun flashing and merging into his body, seemingly suppressing him. Once these Dao Yun merged into his body, the violent aura on him would weaken, and the divine light in his eyes would return to normal.
The ape race was violent, prone to losing control and going berserk. Once out of control, they would fight to the death without regard for their own life, evidently this ring was a wondrous object used to prevent loss of control.
Wei Fan’s eyes showed a different expression, for it was the first time he saw an Ape Demon using such a method to prevent emotional loss of control, indicating that this Ape Demon likely had significant standing.
[Ape Celestial Traveler: Pathway Condensing Demon Saint, Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape bloodline, countless kills]
[Kill him to gain 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 2,700 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
"Be careful, it’s a Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape!" Li Jianchen’s weak voice sounded.
Through the panel and Li Jianchen’s words, Wei Fan finally understood why Li Jianchen almost got killed.
This Ape Celestial Traveler’s cultivation was clearly only equal to Li Jianchen’s, yet he almost pressed Li Jianchen down, because he was a Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape.
He had heard of such Demon Fiends, which were extremely formidable and frightening bloodlines among the Demon Race, considered the Imperial Family of the Demon Race.
The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape race was said to become a saint upon reaching adulthood, hence the title of Saint Ape, truly terrifying.
Even the descendants of a Demon Emperor’s bloodline couldn’t claim to become saints upon adulthood, which testifies to the terrifying nature of the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape race’s bloodline.
"Just you?"
Wei Fan released a sharp aura; Ape Celestial Traveler’s path was consolidated at only 300 zhang, less than half of his own. Even with this race’s strong bloodline, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to kill this Ape Celestial Traveler.
"What about with this saint?"
With a long roar, a gale swept through, and the Two-headed Dog Saint flew in, blocking Wei Fan and Li Jianchen from the side.
"Hand over the Transformation Path Wondrous Object, and this saint will allow you to leave!"
A thundering voice echoed from the other side, as a Dharma Demon Saint who had come to kill earlier arrived at this moment.
His fur was golden yellow, and he wore a ring on his head, with a Thunder God’s face, revealing himself to be a Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape, with a terrifying aura, far surpassing the already slain Celestial Horned Elephant Saint.
"Trouble!" Li Jianchen’s face turned grim. Even if he returned to peak form now, he and Wei Fan together wouldn’t be able to match.
The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape race’s formidable bloodline grants them extraordinarily strong combat abilities, making them almost invincible at the same level, not to mention the latest appearing Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape was a Dharma Demon Saint, with a realm far beyond Wei Fan’s.
"Destroy the thing and run immediately, forget the thing!"
Whether Wei Fan felt pressured, Li Jianchen didn’t know, but Wei Ying, battling in the distance, had already let out a long howl, telling Wei Fan to destroy the Transformation Path Wondrous Object and run, also sensing Wei Fan and Li Jianchen’s danger.
"Give the thing to me, you leave quickly!" Wei Fan wouldn’t obediently destroy the Transformation Path Wondrous Object.
