Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1198 - 1198 1158 Slaying the Demon Beast

1198: Chapter 1158 Slaying the Demon Beast 1198: Chapter 1158 Slaying the Demon Beast Lu Chuan rode out of Guan Residence, heading straight for the outskirts of the city.

At the northern city gate, it was still bustling with people and vehicles.

The gate was usually congested, and Lu Chuan had to wait in line for a long time before he could pass through and reach the outside of the city.

Riding along the road, Lu Chuan surveyed the surroundings.

“If we’re planning a stealth attack outside the city, we can’t be too far away.

Otherwise, by the time Lu Qianyu falls back, the Demon Beasts probably won’t have reached their positions.”

“And hiding in the dense forest will narrow down the search area.”

Lu Chuan pointed towards a thick forest in the distance.

“Let’s check out that area.”

He rode over there, with Dongfang Cheng closely following behind.

As they neared the forest, towering trees and thick fallen leaves covered the ground, filling the air with the fresh scent of earth.

Lu Chuan rode slowly through the woods.

“Lu Chuan, if there are Demon Beasts hiding here, it should be quite obvious, but so far on our way, I haven’t seen any.”

“Keep looking; we’ll find them.”

Lu Chuan continued searching, and soon, he sensed something was off.

There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.

He followed the scent.

Soon enough, he saw a massive figure from afar.

In the dense forest, the figure was blurry, but Lu Chuan could still see it moving.

As he approached slowly, Lu Chuan realized that it was a Black Bear, robust and apparently four or five meters long.

Lu Chuan drew out his Soul Terminating Sword, “Dongfang Cheng, deal with that creature.

It’s probably one of the Demon Beasts.”

Dongfang Cheng pulled out his Peijian, stood on the horse’s back, and leapt forward, vaulting from tree trunk to tree trunk until he reached the bear’s back, then stabbed down into it.

“Die!”

He plunged the sword with both hands into the bear’s back.

Puchh!

The blade went in, but there was no reaction.

The bear was like a statue, motionless.

Dongfang Cheng, baffled, couldn’t understand.

“What… What’s going on?”

Swoosh!

He pulled out his sword and stepped back two paces.

Then, he saw a bear skin being thrown aside.

Underneath the bear skin was a large monkey.

It had blood all over its mouth and body, with bits of flesh hanging from its lips, clearly having just feasted.

The bear hadn’t been eating; it had been eaten.

“Hmph!

Daring to enter my territory, you must be seeking death!”

He raised his right hand, pointing his index finger at Dongfang Cheng.

“A monkey that can talk!”

“I am a Black Ridge Ape, cultivated for nearly a hundred years; speaking is normal!”

“You are one of Lu Qianyu’s people, right?” asked Dongfang Cheng.

“Yes, I obey her orders.

How?

She can aid my cultivation!”

“You came here, now don’t expect to leave; you’ll be my dinner!”

He flashed his claws, his nails looking extremely sharp.

Swoosh!

He swung his arm, and his sharp nails tore through the bark.

“Hmm, you’ll soon die by my hands!”

He laughed smugly, completely humanlike.

If not for his entire body being covered in fur, anyone would think he was human!

“Good!

Let’s see what you’re capable of!”

Swoosh!

The Black Ridge Ape charged towards Dongfang Cheng, swinging his arm!

His speed was extremely fast, Dongfang Cheng hurriedly raised his Peijian to block.

Clang!!!

After sparks flew, Dongfang Cheng continuously stepped back, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge, and after regaining his composure, he charged towards the Black Ridge Ape.

“You still dare to take the initiative?”

The Black Ridge Ape looked down on Dongfang Cheng and quickly turned around, lashing its tail like a whipping.

Snap!!!

As the tail lashed over, Dongfang Cheng hurriedly raised his sword to block.

However, the immense force directly sent him flying.

Swoosh!

His entire body flew backward, but mid-air, he suddenly shifted, dissipating the damage.

He directly maneuvered in the air, using the force of the surrounding tree trunks to charge at the Black Ridge Ape again.

“Take this strike from me!”

Dongfang Cheng swung his Peijian, sending out a Sword Qi first.

Following that, he slashed down with his sword.

The Black Ridge Ape clenched its fist and smashed towards the Sword Qi.

Boom!!!

The tremendous force caused the Black Ridge Ape to continuously step back, its fists also suffering from cuts.

Just as Dongfang Cheng was about to land his slash, the tail of the Black Ridge Ape suddenly whipped out, wrapping around Dongfang Cheng’s waist.

The falling Dongfang Cheng was immediately restrained.

With a flick of the tail, Dongfang Cheng was thrown against a tree trunk and heavily fell to the ground.

Spurt!

Blood spewed from his mouth, and Dongfang Cheng struggled to get up.

He didn’t dare to hesitate for a moment, quickly popped an elixir pill into his mouth, and prepared to continue fighting.

In this kind of combat, any hesitation could potentially lead to death.

He quickly got up and charged at the Black Ridge Ape.

“Hahaha, you can really take a few hits, but you are no match for me!”

The Black Ridge Ape charged again.

“Let me show you my Swordsmanship, you’ll regret opposing me!”

Dongfang Cheng danced his sword blade, consecutively shooting out several Sword Qis, cutting down the surrounding tree trunks, and striking at the Black Ridge Ape.

Firing several Sword Qis consecutively is something ordinary Swordsmen can’t accomplish, but Dongfang Cheng’s newly learned martial arts skill indeed enabled him to do so.

The Black Ridge Ape had no chance to advance; it could only swing its claws to strike the Sword Qis, continuously blocking and being forced to retreat!

After retreating several meters, it was left panting heavily.

Its body was covered with cuts, blood bathing its entire form.

It glared at Dongfang Cheng with deadly eyes, baring its fangs and emitting a piercing scream.

“I will cripple you, you bastard, you’re seeking death, you’ve enraged me!”

The Black Ridge Ape, as if driven mad, rushed rapidly towards Dongfang Cheng.

Seeing this, Dongfang Cheng hurriedly fired another Sword Qi.

Swoosh!!!

The Black Ridge Ape dodged with a blink, seemingly disappearing from the spot.

However, the next time the Black Ridge Ape appeared, it was already above Dongfang Cheng’s head, it climbed the tree, capitalizing on the height advantage, preparing to pounce on Dongfang Cheng—a sure determination of death if struck!

Swoosh!!

Just as the Black Ridge Ape was about to land.

Suddenly, from the dense forest, came an intensely forceful Sword Qi that suddenly struck.

Spurt!!

The Sword Qi sliced through the middle of the Black Ridge Ape, cleanly bisecting it.

Seeing this, Dongfang Cheng hurriedly lunged forward.

Thus, he was not crushed by the falling Black Ridge Ape.

He turned back to look at the body of the Black Ridge Ape, gasping for breath.

“Almost, so close!”

His heart pounded with fear; if not for Lu Chuan’s sudden intervention, he would have already been pounced on and then mauled at a major artery!

If that truly happened, the consequences would be unimaginable; it would only be a matter of time before Lu Chuan would need to come quickly to the rescue.
