Chapter 1436: Borrowing Strength to Eliminate the Beast
Purple Mansion Level Divine Beasts are rare throughout Kunshan. If you really count them, you can count them on two hands.
These dozen or so Purple Mansion Level Divine Beasts are incredibly arrogant, treating Kunshan as their own territory. Apart from ancient monsters like the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon and the Purple Blood Flower Demon, which they avoid provoking, they completely disregard other beasts and cultivators below the Purple Mansion Level.
This Lion-Ape Beast naturally discovered five powerful practitioners below, but it was completely undaunted and continued chasing after Wang Xiaoqiang. Its purpose was simple and brutal: for those who dared challenge its bottom line and touch its reverse scale, kill the man and violate the woman.
Before landing, Wang Xiaoqiang clasped his fists in mid-air and bowed toward Elder Tiann, saying, "Elder Tiann, long time no see."
Elder Tiann felt a deep sense of shame and unease upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly appear because he had not fulfilled the task Wang Xiaoqiang had entrusted to him.
Wang Xiaoqiang had once instructed him at the Biluo Heaven Restaurant to disperse the four strongmen sent by Fang Yuntian, but a week had passed and he had not been able to disperse them. The reason was that these four were commanded by Fang Yuntian to stick together and never split up.
These four powerful practitioners, of course, followed Fang Yuntian's orders and did not take Elder Tiann's words seriously.
Feeling ashamed, Elder Tiann was also puzzled because a man in black was following Wang Xiaoqiang.
This man in black, exuding a beast's aura, was clearly a Divine Beast. Since it could transform into a human form, this beast had evidently reached the Purple Mansion level, with formidable strength.
"Haha, Young Master Fang, it's been a while." At this moment, Elder Tiann's innate sophistication and cunning were fully revealed. He had already seen that Wang Xiaoqiang, though outwardly calm, was actually being chased by a Purple Mansion Level Divine Beast. It was evident that he wanted to use them to kill the beast. Additionally, he knew that the four strongmen did not recognize Wang Xiaoqiang, so as long as he hid Wang Xiaoqiang's identity, they would not discover who he was.
So, he amiably clasped his fists and said, "Is Young Master Wang well these days?"
Wang Xiaoqiang, as cunning as a fox, realized that Elder Tiann addressed him as Young Master Fang and was so friendly and kind. He understood that the four powerful practitioners dispatched by Fang Yuntian did not recognize him and that Elder Tiann intended to hide his identity.
He then directly landed in the midst of the five, smiling casually at Elder Tiann. "Thanks to you, things have been going smoothly. It's just that today's luck is bad; I encountered such a perverted beast that keeps changing between human and beast, it's tricky, sigh..."
Saying this, Wang Xiaoqiang pointed at the approaching Lion-Ape Beast.
The five followed his finger, their gazes fixed on the man in black. Hearing Wang Xiaoqiang call him a perverted beast neither human nor beast, the man in black was so furious that he almost spat out a mouthful of essence blood. He leaped down, pointing at Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "You brat, today I will skin you and strip your bones, drain your blood..."
As he said this, he swept his gaze over Elder Tiann and the others, sternly warning, "Stand in my way, and you'll meet the same end."
"Wang Xiaoqiang cannot die; if he dies, who will expel the Yin Fiend from my body?" This belief flashed through Elder Tiann's mind. He immediately moved to stand in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, pointing at the Lion-Ape Beast and scolding angrily, "Beast, how dare you slaughter my Human Clan's living beings so ruthlessly! Surrender immediately..."
The four powerful practitioners had come to Kunshan to kill Wang Xiaoqiang, but they did not recognize him now. Seeing Elder Tiann facing off against the powerful Purple Mansion Level Divine Beast for a junior named Fang, they hesitated, wondering if they should help.
While they hesitated, Elder Tiann called out, "Everyone, join me in slaying this beast."
"Elder Tiann, this, this beast is powerful, not easy to kill..." One of the two-hundred-year-old practitioners said, his face reluctant. To fight a Purple Mansion Level Divine Beast for an unknown junior seemed not worth it at all.
"Young Master Fang is an old acquaintance of mine and has shown me kindness. He is also an old friend of the Domain Lord. If we let him die without helping, it would not be honorable. The Domain Lord would be infuriated. If anything happens to Young Master Fang, he would certainly take his wrath out on us... then we would be in big trouble..."
Elder Tiann lived up to his reputation, lying so naturally that the four strongmen believed him. Hearing that this Young Master Fang was also an old friend of Domain Lord Fang Yuntian, they no longer hesitated, their figures simultaneously flashing forward to stand in front of Wang Xiaoqiang.
When all five stood in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, the Lion-Ape Beast descended from the sky, charging at them,
Seeing the four cultivators block Wang Xiaoqiang, it suddenly transformed back into its beast form, with a lion's head and an ape's body, towering two meters tall like a small mountain, pressing down on the six.
In the face of this unparalleled beast, the four strongmen's faces changed slightly, showing some panic. Instinctively, they released their Immortal Swords, each sword aiming at the Lion-Ape Beast's body.
Swish, swish, swish, swish...
The four Immortal Swords glimmered with Sword Light, tearing through the air with explosive force, piercing into the Lion-Ape Beast's body.
The Lion-Ape Beast's massive body shuddered slightly, pain flashed across its face, and it roared in anger. Then, its arms shook, and the four Immortal Swords embedded in its body were forcibly expelled, flying back.
From the looks of it, the four sword wounds seemed to have little effect on it. Its momentarily paused body continued pressing downward, its massive form creating sonic booms, sending sand and rocks flying. The six below felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"Its weakness is its head; use the Immortal Sword to stab its head," shouted Elder Tiann in reminder.
Suddenly, the four practitioners seemed to awaken from a dream, swinging their sword techniques. The returning four Immortal Swords flipped around, charging at the Lion-Ape Beast, more precisely, at its lion-shaped head.
Wang Xiaoqiang also seemed to realize this, waving his hand to release the Penglai Immortal Sword, directly targeting the Lion-Ape Beast's head.
Following his reminder, Elder Tiann also waved his hand, conjuring an Immortal Liquid Spear, aiming it at the Lion-Ape Beast, more precisely at its groin.
Wang Xiaoqiang and the four practitioners lacked understanding of the Lion-Ape Beast, but Elder Tiann was well-informed, knowing its weaknesses were similar to those of a human, in the head and groin. Seeing the five target its head with magic treasures, he attacked the Beast's groin to catch it off guard.
Indeed, upon seeing the five Immortal Swords closing in on its head and an Immortal Liquid Spear aiming for its lower groin, the Lion-Ape Beast showed a look of shame and fear. It abruptly twisted mid-fall, narrowly avoiding disaster.
Ultimately, the Lion-Ape Beast landed a hundred meters to the six's right, like a small mountain. Despite the advantage of its massive body, facing six powerful cultivators, it felt immense pressure. Opening its mouth, it spoke one word in human language... "Divide."
Upon uttering the word 'divide,' its beastly body split in two, becoming two Lion-Ape Beasts, one the original and the other an avatar, both massive and majestic, their aura intensifying.
