Chapter 161

The disciples all around were left completely dumbstruck.

Most of them were still only in the Aperture Opening Realm, so this had completely transcended their understanding.

Even the likes of Mad Blade Xiao Zhen and the others were the same.

Even though they had already reached the Sea Opening Realm.

Yet the blade radiance and array light they condensed with their true qi were only four or five meters long!

But what about Meng Meng Zhangqing!

A full one hundred and fifty meters!

What kind of terrifying gap was this?

It was almost like the difference between clouds and mud!

"How on earth did this guy manage to do that?"

Mad Blade found it hard to believe.

"And his true qi volume is also ridiculously high."

Xiao Zhen, standing beside him, added a sentence.

【Note: The source text here appears to be garbled/corrupted.】

He only saw him clench his hands tight; while his eyes were filled with shock, there was also a hint of unwillingness.

They were both top-tier geniuses.

But at this moment, he felt a profound sense of distance!

As well as helplessness!

This was a gap that was impossible to catch up to!

If it were he himself facing that sword strike, just imagining it made him feel like he was suffocating.

――

As the ice mist slowly dissipated.

The situation inside was gradually revealed.

He saw the Red Violent Vajra Ape already lying in a massive deep pit, its body covered in sword marks, riddled with wounds, with thick blood gushing out.

It looked severely injured.

In reality, it was not.

"Why did you not kill me?"

The Red Violent Vajra Ape murmured in a low voice.

It did not stand up, but remained lying down.

That sword strike just now could definitely have killed it, but it suddenly vanished at the end; clearly, he had held back.

"Why would I want to kill you?"

Meng Meng Zhangqing's figure flashed, and he had already arrived before it.

Even after experiencing such an intense battle.

His state was still very good.

Even the clothes on his body did not have many signs of damage.

"Because this is my destiny."

It was unknown why, but the Red Violent Vajra Ape's words became fluent, no longer intermittent as before.

"Destiny?"

Meng Meng Zhangqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I am the whetstone for you disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect; killing me can prove the path to becoming a supreme powerhouse."

The Red Violent Vajra Ape said.

Hearing this, Meng Meng Zhangqing understood.

The Red Violent Vajra Ape was perhaps a threshold; killing it would prove that one's potential was far above that of top-tier geniuses, and that one had the qualifications to step onto the path of the supreme.

The so-called supreme.

Naturally meant a peerless powerhouse.

And killing versus winning were two different concepts.

If you want to defeat the Red Violent Vajra Ape, you only need to be a little stronger than it.

But if you want to slay...

"You are a bloodline spirit beast; would the sect not feel it a pity if I killed you?"

Regaining his composure, Meng Meng Zhangqing said casually.

"I am a spirit beast; even if my bloodline is good, they would not pour resources into me,"

The Red Violent Vajra Ape said in a gloomy tone, "My life is destined to remain at the Tier Three realm, becoming a whetstone."

Regarding this.

Meng Meng Zhangqing did not feel any sense of sympathy.

A war between races is just like this.

The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit.

If countless years ago, it was the human race that had failed, then the one acting as the whetstone now might be him.

The sect indeed would not spend resources on a spirit beast.

Wouldn't it be better to use these resources to cultivate the disciples under their banner?

Those not of my race must have a different heart.

"Killing is just a formality."

"Whether I kill you or not, I will still step onto the path of the supreme."

Meng Meng Zhangqing stood with his hands behind his back.

A cold wind blew, his black hair danced lightly, and his eyes seemed to flicker with a confident radiance.

"Your potential is far above mine; you can indeed become such an existence."

The Red Violent Vajra Ape looked at Meng Meng Zhangqing.

That dazzling youthful demeanor truly made it envious.

It also wanted to be like that, to stand tall, but fate was just that cruel.

"Compared to killing you, I would rather become friends with you."

Meng Meng Zhangqing looked at it and smiled slightly.

"Friends?"

A look of obvious bewilderment appeared on the Red Violent Vajra Ape's face.

In the twenty-plus years since it came into this world, no one had ever said such words to it.

In the eyes of the human race, it was nothing more than a slave beast.

Yet this person wanted to become friends with it.

"Yes, you are the strongest spirit beast I have seen so far, both in strength and potential, so I want to become friends with you."

Meng Meng Zhangqing reached out his hand toward it, "I hope there will be opportunities to spar in the future."

This was the truth.

This battle with the Red Violent Vajra Ape could be said to have yielded many benefits, yet he still felt unsatisfied.

It would be great if they could fight a few more times.

Additionally, the main purpose was naturally the attributes on the Red Violent Vajra Ape.

Ancient Ape bloodline.

And the final bloodline talent 【Vajra Ape Divine Strength】; the boost to strength was too ferocious.

If he hadn't cultivated the "Exquisite Great Luo Heaven".

If he wanted to defeat it, he would truly have to fall into a protracted battle, and finally rely on his massive true qi volume to drag it to death alive.

But could spirit beast bloodlines be fused?

After all, he was a pure human.

Never mind, he would ask the system later.

Even if it didn't work, it could be decomposed; he believed that an attribute of this level would definitely decompose into high-quality items.
