Chapter 407: Chapter 0294: All Geniuses Must Die_2 Chapter 407: Chapter 0294: All Geniuses Must Die_2 Just as the Zombie Demonic Beast was about to bite into his neck, Ape King Sun Xiaotian roared and swung his fist, punching the creature in the neck. That punch certainly contained more strength than the peak of Ape King Sun Xiaotian’s ability before he had taken his medication. With that punch, the Zombie Demonic Beast was sent flying.

The royal family’s servant also rushed over. He held a flying sword in his hand, the runes on the sword flickered, and once his True Essence was transferred, the sword fired a yard-long sword light aiming to hack at Ape King Sun Xiaotian.

Ape King Sun Xiaotian didn’t dodge or hide. He reached out with his big hand and grabbed at the incoming sword light.

The royal family’s servant was surprised to find that his sword light, capable of splitting boulders, was grabbed by Ape King Sun Xiaotian. Although there was blood coming from the ape king’s palm, the sword light was trapped and could not move.

Pseudo Core Realm, this was definitely the strength of the Pseudo Core Realm.

Ape King Sun Xiaotian swung his fist towards the royal family’s servant. With a loud bang, even though the servant tried to dodge, he simply couldn’t match the speed of Ape King Sun Xiaotian who had now advanced to the Pseudo Core Realm. He was easily knocked to the ground.

Ape King Sun Xiaotian, like a true gorilla, beat his chest with both hands. He felt power rushing through his body, feeling both joy and unwillingness. He was happy because he finally possessed power comparable to the Gold Core Stage, no longer stuck at Half-step Golden Core. His unwillingness was naturally due to the fact that his path forward was now blocked and there was no chance of further advancement in this lifetime.

Thinking about this, how could Ape King Sun Xiaotian not harbor hatred? He turned around, looked at the royal family servant and the Zombie Demonic Beast, his eyes seething with barely concealed resentment.

Both the royal family servant and the Zombie Demonic Beast had been punched hard by Ape King Sun Xiaotian and were injured. At this time, when Ape King Sun Xiaotian looked at them, they were filled with fear. Even if they teamed up, they were no match for Ape King Sun Xiaotian in the Pseudo Core Realm. Now that they were injured, how could they possibly beat him?

Both the royal family servant and the Zombie Demonic Beast chose to flee at almost the same time, heading in different directions. At this point, this was the only way they could save their lives. As for who would die in the end, that depended on who Ape King Sun Xiaotian hated the most.

Ape King Sun Xiaotian roared. Instead of chasing after anyone, he threw himself at the foundation establishment cultivators who were tangling with Chen Yuben. His Pseudo Core Realm power was almost crushing among these people. With one wave of his left arm and one swing of his right, he easily downed the cultivators blocking Chen Yuben, causing heavy casualties.

Before Chen Yuben could say thank you, Ape King Sun Xiaotian grabbed him, and before Chen Yuben could react, Sun Xiaotian threw Chen Yuben towards the fleeing Zombie Demonic Beast.

Chen Yuben immediately understood that he was supposed to hold off the Zombie Demonic Beast. While he was in mid-air, he released his flying sword and chased after the beast that was fleeing at an increased speed.

After tossing Chen Yuben, Ape King Sun Xiaotian went after the fleeing royal family servant. He wanted to vent all his resentments from taking the Pseudo-True Pill. The royal family servant had to die, and the Zombie Demonic Beast could not be spared either.

The royal family servant was terrified, fleeing as fast as he could. Seeing Ape King Sun Xiaotian coming after him, he didn’t dare to waste any time. He took out his last prized possession to increase his speed in a desperate attempt to maintain distance from Ape King Sun Xiaotian.

But the gap between the Pseudo Core Realm and the Half-step Golden Core was massive; they were on completely different levels. The former had a crushing advantage over the latter. Moreover, Ape King Sun Xiaotian was already a formidable presence. After ascending to the Pseudo Core Realm, his strength had surged, making him even more formidable.

Before long, the wind-like Ape King Sun Xiaotian caught up. His punch landed without giving the royal family servant any chance of escape, hitting him in the back. The royal family servant spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled forward a few steps before falling to the ground. Ape King Sun Xiaotian followed, stepping on the servant’s back, drew his flying sword, and beheaded the servant with a single stroke.

The Ape King, Sun Xiaotian, didn’t even glance at the royal servant who had perished under his sword. He turned and pursued the Zombie Demonic Beast once again.

Whenever Sun Xiaotian, the Ape King, was on the hunt, he took the most direct route. It was faster and saved time. However, the route he had chosen happened to run closely past Qi Tian’s hiding place. The distance between them was very short.

A ruthless light flashed in Qi Tian’s eyes. He decided to take a gamble. This was his best opportunity to kill the Ape King, Sun Xiaotian. If he missed it, he possibly needed to advance to the Gold Core Stage for another chance.

Qi Tian could not forget the humiliation inflicted upon him by the Ape King, Sun Xiaotian. He was constantly planning his revenge. Now, the opportunity was right in front of him; how could he possibly willingly let it slip?

Just as Qi Tian made up his mind, the Ape King, Sun Xiaotian, dashed past like the wind. Even now, he hadn’t noticed Qi Tian’s presence. Initially, it was because Qi Tian’s Arrays were potent, but now it was due to his rage. His sole focus was on venting his anger by killing the royal servant and Zombie Demonic Beast. He never considered that Qi Tian could be hiding so close by. If Sun Xiaotian had been more cautious, given his current strength at the Pseudo Core Realm, he could have easily detected Qi Tian.

Easier said than done, the Ape King, Sun Xiaotian, reached Qi Tian’s side. Qi Tian, who was prepared, suddenly removed the array and threw out the muck.

As soon as the muck was released, even a strong being like Sun Xiaotian, the Ape King, could feel his True Essence turn sluggish. It was not entirely uncontrollable, but it was extremely uncomfortable. If he could originally manipulate a hundred units of True Essence in an instant, the interference of the muck reduced his control to less than a single unit.

The Ape King, Sun Xiaotian’s, speed instantly decreased. When he turned his head, he saw Qi Tian. “Who are you? How dare you obstruct this king! You’re asking for death.”

Qi Tian stayed silent, pushed the Heavenly Dao Engine to its limit, and lunged forward with a punch of Giving to the Jackals and Tigers directed at Sun Xiaotian.

The Ape King, Sun Xiaotian, snorted coldly and sent a fist towards Qi Tian as well.

With a thump, their fists collided. It was a tie – neither could claim the upper hand.

A cold glint flashed in the Ape King, Sun Xiaotian’s, eyes. Where did this little guy come from, and why was he so powerful? What he didn’t know was that Qi Tian was unable to use his True Essence and his meridian strength was not fully realized. Otherwise, the strength contained within Qi Tian’s punch would have been much greater – multiple times more potent, in fact.

This kid could not be left alive, not only because Qi Tian was in the way of him killing the Zombie Demonic Beast, but also because Qi Tian was too much of a genius. Now, the one thing Ape King Sun Xiaotian couldn’t tolerate was a genius – if someone was a genius, they had to die.

The Ape King, Sun Xiaotian, let out a roar, raised his fist, and launched an attack on Qi Tian.

Qi Tian wouldn’t back down either; he launched a new Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist that collided with the Ape King, Sun Xiaotian’s punch.

Boom, boom, boom, several punches were exchanged, and each time the result was a stalemate. But to his horror, the Ape King, Sun Xiaotian, found he was struggling to keep up with his strength. His losses were too significant. In contrast, Qi Tian seemed to grow more robust with each fight, as if he had an infinite supply of power. Every punch he delivered seemed to be at the peak of his strength, with no significant fluctuations or reductions.

The Ape King, Sun Xiaotian, couldn’t accept this outcome. How could he, the dignified Ape King, Sun Xiaotian, lose to Qi Tian in a fistfight?
