Chapter 901: The Enraged Ape King
The appearance of a Golden Core Stage cultivator made all the loose cultivators raise their heads to look, their eyes filled with envy and awe.
Among these loose cultivators, without a fortuitous encounter, they would be unable to break through to the Golden Core Stage in this lifetime, hence their hearts were quite envious.
The newcomer had a handsome appearance, though he seemed somewhat ostentatious, as if indulging excessively in lust.
Seeing the frenzied Green Ghost Yaksha Ape, a hint of disgust appeared on his face.
Especially when the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape roared at him, baring its teeth, a murderous intent appeared in his heart.
"Noisy!"
His gaze turned slightly cold, and his clothes fluttered without wind, as if the surrounding wind was attracted to him, swirling around his body.
In the next moment, he raised his hand and pointed, instantly causing the wind beside him to coalesce into terrifying Wind Blades, which whistled toward the massive body of the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape.
The gale made it impossible for the loose cultivators to keep their eyes open, yet they forced them wide to watch.
The Wind Blades sliced through the air; while the loose cultivators combined force could only leave a shallow wound on the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape, the Wind Blades easily tore through its defense.
With a few slashes, blood splattered from the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape, deep wounds visible down to the bone appeared on its body.
All the loose cultivators were shocked, indeed deserving of being a Golden Core Stage cultivator, whose attack possessed such terrifying might.
Even the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape was subdued, no longer daring to shout, instead turning and running wildly ahead.
"Hmph, a beast is just a beast."
The Golden Core cultivator snorted coldly, feeling pleased as he sensed the awed gazes from the loose cultivators, and slowly descended to the ground.
Several cultivators quickly gathered behind him; they were clearly direct disciples of the Yunxiao Sect.
And this Golden Core Stage cultivator was none other than Xu Wencheng, who had pursued all the way!
"Young Master Xu, we've gathered information; although Chen Nan has yet to show himself, his companions are ahead," one direct disciple reported.
"Companions?" Xu Wencheng was somewhat surprised, "Who dares to mix with him?"
"Just a few loose cultivators from Ten Thousand Beasts City, presumably acquaintances from within Wuyin Forest, lacking deep connections," another direct disciple said disdainfully.
Cultivators from sects, possessing backgrounds in cultivation forces, naturally held a contemptuous attitude toward loose cultivators.
"So, if we capture them, we can draw out Chen Nan?" Xu Wencheng raised an eyebrow.
His concern was whether he could locate Chen Nan, while the lives of a few loose cultivators were negligible.
"Probably,"
The direct disciples were rather uncertain.
Xu Wencheng, without hesitation, moved forward with the direct disciples following, while the loose cultivators trailed behind, unwilling to give up.
After all, with a Golden Core Stage cultivator present, perhaps they could pick up some benefits.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Nan was completely unaware that Xu Wencheng was already pursuing them.
After a brief rest, he proposed to leave.
"Brother Mo, we should hurry up and leave here; there are still many loose cultivators behind us, and the scent of blood can easily attract other demon beasts."
"Indeed, we must move quickly," Mo Yan said, his expression slightly unnatural.
Chen Nan was puzzled but did not pursue the question. Just as he was about to leave, a roar sounded from afar.
Turning to look, several ancient trees were snapped directly, the massive body of the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape appearing before them, its eyes fixed intently on Mo Yan.
Its eyes even turned crimson, clearly in a state of rage.
"Roar!"
The Green Ghost Yaksha Ape let out a long howl, its enormous body pouncing savagely toward Mo Yan, its gigantic hand coming down like a small mountain.
Chen Nan was momentarily stunned, pulling Mu Wanqing and Xu Man for a rapid escape, barely keeping up with Mo Yan.
Just as they left the area, the enormous hand slammed down, leaving a gigantic handprint on the ground.
All of them grimaced, knowing that if that handprint hit them, they'd be crippled if not killed.
With no time to question, the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape launched another attack directly targeting Mo Yan!
"Brother Mo, I only asked you to snatch the Dragon Breath Grass, has the Ape King gone mad?"
Wave after wave of attacks fell, instantly clearing the surroundings; the ancient trees were smashed to pieces.
The Green Ghost Yaksha Ape's arm swept through, clearing large patches, while the stout ancient trees seemed like mere weeds before it.
This was abnormal behavior, and Chen Nan noticed the wounds on the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape's body, the ghastly injuries strikingly apparent, quite severe.
Mo Yan, hearing that, looked slightly awkward but continued to dodge the attacks while explaining the reason.
"I encountered the Ape King's child while collecting Dragon Breath Grass, and in a moment of panic, I killed that little Yaksha Ape."
Chen Nan smacked his forehead; no wonder the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape went berserk with its relentless rage; they had killed its child.
He finally understood why his plan had a hiccup; who could have anticipated that there was a little Yaksha Ape in the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape's lair?
Now Mo Yan was tainted with the little Yaksha Ape's scent, which wouldn't dissipate quickly, ensuring the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape wouldn't relent.
Being pursued by such a giant, forget resting; surviving was already a stroke of luck.
Mo Yan felt deeply ashamed; such an unexpected incident could have been avoided, yet in his panic, he made a grave mistake, regretting it now.
Glaring at the massive Yaksha Ape, he shouted resolutely, "Brother Chen, you take them and leave first; I'll distract this beast!"
Chen Nan naturally disagreed; the matter originated because of him, so he gently pushed Xu Man and Mu Wanqing several meters away.
"Brother Mo, you should take them and leave first; I'll handle this beast. If it catches up, none of us will escape!"
Mo Yan wanted to refuse but knew his power was too feeble; his outcome if he tried to distract the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape would be certain death. Chen Nan had previously managed to defeat the Thunder Wing White Tiger, and now he's fearless of the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape.
"Alright, we'll wait for you to return!"
He stepped back quickly while Chen Nan rushed toward the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape, golden flames surging from his body.
"Heaven-Burning Transformation!"
Chen Nan transformed into a blaze, charging straight toward the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape's face, his terrifying power roaring like a fierce wind, even taking the Ape King by surprise.
The Ape King picked up a massive rock and hurled it toward Chen Nan.
With a bang, the rock shattered, exploding into countless small fragments, making the Ape King instinctively squint.
At that moment, Chen Nan used the momentum to reach the Ape King, his fist striking directly at the Ape King's nose, making its entire body stagger.
The Ape King was further enraged by being repelled by a mere human finger's size.
It angrily beat its chest, letting out a deafening roar!
