Chapter 337: I Have a Way to Save Her

Awoooooooo—

The Berserk Violent Ape had just landed when it realized the muscle on its chest had been devoured. Only then did the pain begin to surge, and it immediately let out a painful, miserable shriek.

However, Lu Si's expression did not change in the slightest at the Berserk Violent Ape's shrieks. Instead, he erupted with power once more and charged toward the wailing beast. Ignoring its cries, he swung the Giant Devouring Sword down in a direct overhead chop.

Seeing the Giant Devouring Sword descend, the Berserk Violent Ape immediately endured the pain in its chest, but it was already too late to dodge. It could only cross its arms above its head. Although it could not avoid Lu Si's attack, it could at least protect its skull. Even though the Berserk Violent Ape was in a berserk state, it could still weigh the severity of the situation.

Boom—

The Giant Devouring Sword struck the Berserk Violent Ape's arms without any surprise. The immense force traveled directly through the beast's arms and throughout its entire body, forcing its legs to buckle. Its knees slammed heavily into the ground, sinking deep into the earth.

Just as before, violent devouring energy surged from the Giant Devouring Sword, instantly consuming all the flesh on the Berserk Violent Ape's arms. However, after devouring, the Giant Devouring Sword sprayed out the blood it had consumed.

In the blink of an eye, the flesh on the Berserk Violent Ape's forearms had been completely devoured. At the same time, because the Giant Devouring Sword had forced the beast to its knees, the Berserk Violent Ape was unable to break free for the moment.

The violent devouring energy surging from the Giant Devouring Sword, having finished consuming the flesh on the beast's forearms, immediately flowed along the arms toward the upper arms, clearly intending to continue devouring.

Roar—

The Berserk Violent Ape also knew that if it continued to let the Giant Devouring Sword's devouring energy consume it, it would surely die. Therefore, it suppressed the pain of its arms being devoured and instantly activated its magic.

Earth-element magic fluctuations constantly rippled across the Berserk Violent Ape's entire body, and these fluctuations grew stronger and stronger.

The next moment, just as the Giant Devouring Sword's devouring energy approached the Berserk Violent Ape's upper arms, the stone armor on the beast's body erupted in a violent explosion.

Endless, violent explosive energy burst forth instantly, blowing both the Berserk Violent Ape and Lu Si away.

Lu Si and the Berserk Violent Ape, like kites with broken strings, flew backward amidst the power of the explosion.

Boom— Boom—

With two sounds of impact, Lu Si and the Berserk Violent Ape slammed heavily into the ground separately, then continued to roll backward. In the end, the Berserk Violent Ape only stopped after flying back over a thousand meters, while Lu Si fared much better than the beast, flying back only about five hundred meters—half the distance of the Berserk Violent Ape.

The degree of injury for the man and the beast in this explosion was also different.

Because the Berserk Violent Ape had detonated all the stone armor on its body, this power far exceeded the limit of its body's defensive capabilities. Furthermore, because it was the center point of the explosion, the force was more concentrated, causing it much greater damage.

Lu Si, however, was different. Because Lu Si had already suppressed the backlash of the Giant Devouring Sword—meaning he had regained his reason—he had begun to prepare his defenses the moment the magic fluctuations appeared on the Berserk Violent Ape's body, before it detonated its armor.

The violent devouring energy that had previously been consuming the Berserk Violent Ape's forearms gave up on continuing to devour and retreated to his side, forming a protective barrier that wrapped Lu Si in layers. At the same time, Lu Si activated the shield of his mechanical armor, equivalent to two layers of protection.

Therefore, after the explosion, these two layers of shields could be said to have absorbed the vast majority of the explosive force. The power that penetrated these two layers was negligible, and the damage to Lu Si was minimized to the extreme; he had suffered almost no injuries.

Roar—

Magic fluctuations surged once more. Although the Berserk Violent Ape had been heavily injured in the previous explosion, it knew it had to cover itself in stone armor again as quickly as possible.

Therefore, the moment it hit the ground, it had already begun to activate its magic. By the time it came to a complete stop, the magic preparation was finished, and the surrounding sand and stone began to surge toward the Berserk Violent Ape.

"Don't even think about it." Lu Si, having suffered no major injuries in the explosion, was not slow to react. He knew he could not let the Berserk Violent Ape condense its stone armor again, or else killing it would require even more effort.

And the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it would be for Lya's injuries, so he had to finish this quickly.

Immediately, he kicked off the ground with both legs like a cannonball, launching himself forward. At the same time, to further increase his speed, he activated the propulsion array on his mechanical armor.

The array on the mechanical armor lit up instantly, spraying out immense propulsive force, causing Lu Si's speed to increase once more.

Lu Si did not stop. In the process of launching himself toward the Berserk Violent Ape, he swung the Giant Devouring Sword in a powerful chop. A sword Qi shot out from the blade, heading straight for the Berserk Violent Ape, which was in the middle of condensing its stone armor.

Boom—

About a breath after the sword Qi was fired, it struck the Berserk Violent Ape, which was condensing its armor, instantly interrupting the magic. The sand and stone surging toward the beast lost the guidance of the magic and stopped instantly.

Following closely behind, with another boom, Lu Si, carrying the Giant Devouring Sword, had already charged to the vicinity of the Berserk Violent Ape.

He swung the Giant Devouring Sword again, striking diagonally upward at the Berserk Violent Ape that had been hit by the sword Qi, directly launching the beast into the air.

Lu Si did not stop. His feet erupted with all his power, stomping heavily on the ground, and the direction of the propulsion array on his mechanical armor changed, pushing downward, directly launching Lu Si to the side of the airborne Berserk Violent Ape.

Gripping the Giant Devouring Sword tightly with both hands, Lu Si did not hesitate and swung the sword down in a heavy slash.

Boom—

The Giant Devouring Sword slashed heavily onto the Berserk Violent Ape's body. The immense force, upon striking the beast, directly created a small shockwave in the air, then blasted the Berserk Violent Ape downward like a projectile.

Rumble— With a violent impact sound, the Berserk Violent Ape was smashed deep into the ground, the immense force turning the ground around it into a deep crater.

"You hurt Lya, I want your life." Lu Si landed, his eyes glaring angrily at the Berserk Violent Ape lying on the ground. He roared and swung the Giant Devouring Sword again, slashing toward the beast. If this strike landed, the Berserk Violent Ape would surely perish.

"Stop." Just as Lu Si's strike was about to land, a voice came, and this voice continued, "If you don't kill it, I have a way to save her." ===== CHAPTER 338 =====
