Chapter 184: Chapter 181 Killing the Water and Fire Golden Ape

Roar!

The Water and Fire Golden Ape let out an angry roar, spewing a fire dragon from its mouth that stretched a hundred meters. Wherever the fire dragon passed, ordinary Demon Soul Soldiers and Ten-Man Commanders of Demon Souls all turned into ash, their blood light retracting and transforming into Demon Soul Blood Crystals.

"Kill!"

A Hundred-Man Commander of Demon Souls leapt up, his blood-colored spear, like a blood dragon, thrusting straight at the Water and Fire Golden Ape!

However, the Water and Fire Golden Ape neither dodged nor evaded. Extending its twenty-something-meter-long arms, it caught the blood-colored spear and with a light squeeze, the spear dissolved into nothing.

The ape’s arms swung like windmills, tearing the Hundred-Man Commander of Demon Souls in two. As his blood light scattered, he transformed into a Demon Soul Blood Crystal.

With the Water and Fire Golden Ape leading, along with four other Mid-grade Earth Level demon servants, even when facing three Demon Soul Hundred-Man Battalions, it was a one-sided slaughter.

Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner Da Hai didn’t even need to use his secret techniques to enhance the demon servants’ abilities to handle these three Demon Soul Hundred-Man Battalions.

"Three Demon Soul Hundred-Man Battalions, nine hundred Demon Soul Blood Crystals, that’s a decent loot! But, it’s still far from my goal. If I can’t kill that guy after today, I’ll need to start collecting Demon Soul Blood Crystals in earnest!"

"Also, I could try hunting a Thousand Demon Soul Group..."

At that moment, Da Hai leisurely collected Demon Soul Blood Crystals, very contentedly.

The battle progressed rapidly. In just 15 minutes, two Demon Soul Battalions were annihilated, and the last Demon Soul Battalion, desperately clinging to their formation, was simply delaying their inevitable destruction.

Each Spirit Practitioner of the Southern Barbarian Tribe was an exceptional hunter, always maintaining a high degree of alertness, or else Da Hai wouldn’t have repeatedly avoided traps set by Ye Zhen.

Now was no different. Despite his rewarding gains, Da Hai’s vigilance was not diminished one bit, and every 15 minutes, he scanned his surroundings.

With a casual gesture, the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk flew over. He flipped onto it, preparing to scout the area from above.

Da Hai’s Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk, linked by a Divine Soul through a tribal inheritance, was far superior to the juvenile demon beasts Ye Zhen tamed slowly using the Blood Sacrifice Technique, not to mention having a soul connection.

Once he was up high, seeing the winding blood tide coming from twenty miles behind made Da Hai gasp in shock.

Judging by the size, the approaching Demon Soul Legion definitely numbered over two thousand men.

Without hesitation, Da Hai clapped the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk, preparing to descend, but in the moment he turned around, his gaze froze once more.

An even larger torrent of blood was rolling in from the rear, its size at least two to three times that of the approaching Demon Soul Legion.

"Barbarian God above, when did my luck become so terrible!"

Back on the ground, strange musical notes burst from the corners of Da Hai’s mouth.

"Roar, roar, roar, roar!"

Four demon servants roared in unison, each beginning to slaughter the remaining Hundred-Man Demon Soul Squad in the most ferocious way. Da Hai wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible and then retreat.

"Grand Marshal, the enemy might be retreating. I’ll personally scout ahead!"

The square-faced commander nodded slightly, and Ye Zhen immediately soared into the sky with Cloud Winged Tiger, charging towards the clouds.

The moment Ye Zhen took off, the square-faced commander waved his hand, and the blood-colored military flag beside him swiftly swept through the air. The surging blood light around it instantly rushed towards the feet of the Demon Soul Legion like a tide.

"Charge!"

These two words, thunderous as they burst from the mouth of the square-faced commander, doubled the advancing speed of the Demon Soul Army enveloped in the cloud-like blood light.

The speed of their terrestrial rush was almost comparable to that of a Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist.

This scene delighted Ye Zhen, and at the same time, made him ponder; this time, he absolutely could not let Dahai, this guy, get away!

The Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner Da Hai’s high-grade Earth Level Demon Beast, the Water and Fire Golden Ape, was simply a sky-defying presence on the Battlefield of Demon Souls. Ye Zhen estimated that even his Origin Sword Vein, a Vital Vein Forging Divine Ability, might not necessarily be able to slay the Water and Fire Golden Ape.

High-grade Earth Level demon beasts, soul sea realm powerhouses could barely handle them, but whether they could be slain was another matter.

Ye Zhen estimated that once the Demon Soul Hall opened, with Dahai and the Water and Fire Golden Ape, they could absolutely sweep through the Demon Soul Hall. With the Water and Fire Golden Ape present, the chances of the Southern Barbarian Tribe capturing the War Soul Blood Flag were very, very high.

Roar!

When the last Hundred-Man Demon Soul Commander was slaughtered by the Water and Fire Golden Ape, the six thousand strong Demon Soul Army led by the square-faced commander had already appeared in the sightline of Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner Da Hai!

"They’ve arrived so quickly, how is this possible?"

Startled, a fierce light flashed in Da Hai’s eyes, and he immediately made a decision.

One of the five demon servants, the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger, pounced to meet the advancing six thousand Demon Soul Army.

The inherently murderous nature of the Demon Soul Army meant that once in their sight, it was a fight to the death.

Therefore, Da Hai had to make a heroic amputation!

He used one demon servant to distract the six thousand Demon Soul Army, creating a chance for himself and the other demon servants to escape!

The moment the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger leapt out, Da Hai, riding the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk and accompanied by the other three demon servants, swiftly retreated south.

Fifteen breaths later, the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger was only a distance of one mile from the charging six thousand Demon Soul Army. Just as they were about to collide, under Da Hai’s command, the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger suddenly made a sharp turn and ran wildly north.

A thousand-man surge split abruptly from the six thousand Demon Soul Army to chase after the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger fleeing north, but the main force continued to directly pursue the retreating Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner Da Hai.

Suddenly, the upward gaze of the observing Da Hai in the sky became stupefied.

"Damn, since when did the Demon Soul Army become so clever?"

Both the experiences of the elders and Da Hai’s own previous encounters had proven one thing, although frightening, the Demon Soul Army was, at best, just a more powerful group of collective demon beasts.

Its intelligence was even lower than that of an average Demon Beast.

According to the elders in the clan who had survived the Battlefield of Demon Souls, the technique "Heroic Amputation" had once successfully enabled them to escape a pursuit by a Ten Thousand Man Demon Soul Army.

But now, this six-thousand-strong Demon Soul Legion had completely overturned his previous understanding!

Da Hai, somewhat incredulous, blurted out strange syllables, and his other demon servant, a Middle-grade Earth Level Moon Pattern Silver Horned Rhinoceros, suddenly lunged from the formation to meet the Demon Soul Legion.

Similarly, when it was less than a mile away from the Demon Soul Legion, the Moon Pattern Silver Horned Rhinoceros abruptly veered east.

This time, the Demon Soul Legion, like a torrential flood, completely ignored the Moon Pattern Silver Horned Rhinoceros tasked with luring the enemy. It did not even divert a Thousand-Man Demon Soul Squad to pursue the chase or change its direction to pounce on him.

The next moment, Da Hai understood.

The two-thousand-strong Demon Soul Legion flanking from the east went straight for the Moon Pattern Silver Horned Rhinoceros.

This adaptability, this intelligence, left Da Hai utterly dumbfounded.

Was this the same Demon Soul Legion he knew, known for its low intelligence, only versed in slaughter and growth?

In fact, the Demon Soul Legion hadn’t changed. The only change was the addition of a man named "Ye Zhen" to the Demon Soul Legion!

"Kill!"

"Roar!"

The skies echoed with the Demon Soul Legion’s cries of attack and the furious roars of the Water and Fire Golden Ape, sounding simultaneously.

The time wasted during two failed attempts at luring the enemy allowed the Demon Soul Legion to catch up to the Water and Fire Golden Ape.

The fifty-meter-tall stature of the Water and Fire Golden Ape, once it started sprinting, could be overtaken by a peak Spirit Summoning Realm Martial Artist, but definitely could not match the speed of a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist.

The six-thousand-strong Demon Soul Legion, with the enhancement of secret techniques, had all soldiers’ Cultivation raised to the Mid-stage Spirit Summoning Realm. Their sprinting speed was only faster than that of Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists!

Amid thunderous roars, the colossal Water and Fire Golden Ape clashed with the six-thousand-strong Demon Soul Legion.

No, it should be eight thousand!

Because the two-thousand-strong Demon Soul Legion that had flanked from the side had already dealt with the Moon Pattern Silver Horned Rhinoceros and merged with the others!

Watching the Water and Fire Golden Ape surrounded by the six-thousand-strong Demon Soul Army, Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner Da Hai was first stunned, then burst into a furious roar.

Amid the roaring, strange syllables exploded from the corners of Da Hai’s mouth, summoning the ancient secret curses of the Southern Barbarian Tribe to enhance the strength of his demon servants!

Roar! Roar! Roar!

In the thunderous roars, the body of the Water and Fire Golden Ape suddenly swelled by half, shooting up to eighty meters high. A swing of its forty-meter long arms turned hundreds of ordinary Demon Soul Soldiers to ash!

In just a few seconds, nearly a thousand ordinary soldiers from the Demon Soul Army lay dead, but another one of Da Hai’s Middle-grade Earth Level demon servants was also stomped into minced meat by the Demon Soul Army!

"Prepare the Blood Killing Crossbow!"

Watching the Water and Fire Golden Ape instantly kill a Hundred-man General, the Square-faced Commander did not act himself but simply waved his hand lightly!

In the rear of the Demon Soul Army, silhouettes flickered, and the sound of crossbows being rapidly strung could be heard sharply!

A Ten-man General, along with ten ordinary Demon Soul Soldiers, had to channel all their Blood Light into it to fully activate a Blood Killing Crossbow.

Seconds later, a Thousand-man General of the Demon Soul Legion suddenly bellowed, "Fire!"

In an instant, a hundred blood lights as thick as arms, like crimson thunderclaps, surged toward the Water and Fire Golden Ape!

"No!"

Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner Da Hai let out a harrowing roar, his gaze filled with boundless pain and regret.

The Water and Fire Golden Ape, which the tribe had spent years accumulating resources for and paid a huge price to the Soul of the Barbarian King to suppress, had become his demon servant.

Its power was meant to help the tribe capture the War Soul Blood Flag!

It must not die!

The Water and Fire Golden Ape was the tribe’s hope. It absolutely must not perish!

But now, the situation was out of his control.

As Da Hai screamed, even though the Water and Fire Golden Ape responded with furious roars, destroying most of the blood-lit bolts with its forty-meter-long arms, at least a dozen blood-lit bolts still hammered into the flesh of the Water and Fire Golden Ape!

The sound of splattering was incessant, numerous blood holes burst forth from the body of the Water and Fire Golden Ape, blood pouring out like river water from the wounds.

The intense pain made the Water and Fire Golden Ape even more frenzied!

But in the next moment, another wave of Blood Killing Crossbows tore through the sky, this time adding nearly a hundred transparent blood holes to the Water and Fire Golden Ape, one of which was right at the heart!

"Roar..."

In a diminishing roar, the Water and Fire Golden Ape fell unwillingly!

"No..."

With a painfully intense roar, Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner Da Hai slapped the Sky-soaring Thunder Hawk he was riding on and fled toward the clouds!

Unbeknownst to him when, Ye Zhen’s figure within the Demon Soul Army had already vanished! (To be continued.
