Chapter 481: Slaying the Ape

"Demon beast attack!"

"Tie the horned horses in place, form a formation on the spot!"

"Prepare the bows and crossbows!"

A man's loud shout immediately rang out in the convoy.

The originally panicked mortal guards immediately acted according to their words, taking out bows and crossbows from the giant vehicles one after another, and lined up on the side where the convoy was attacked.

Several men and women in different clothes walked out from a vehicle, took out talismans and tore them, creating white clouds under their feet, and floated directly to the low altitude. They were all Qi Refinement cultivators.

However, looking at the spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies and their nervous expressions, they were only at the third or fourth level of Qi Refinement.

With the "swish-swish" sound of the nearby woods, dense apes flew out from within.

Each of them was no more than a meter tall, but their arms were unusually long, their noses were unusually large, and they held weapons like stones and branches in their hands, pressing toward the convoy in a chaotic manner. Looking at the quantity, there were no less than a thousand of them.

"Shoot!"

Under a roar, the bows and crossbows in the hands of the mortal guards were fired simultaneously. In the flashing cold light, dozens of apes rushing to the front row fell down in a large area, causing the apes behind to fall into chaos, slowing their steps in fear, and even some at the very back turned around and ran away immediately.

Just then, over a dozen piercing chirps came from the mountain. With a muffled "Booming" sound, over a dozen giant apes, a zhang tall and covered in gray-white fur, rushed out.

"Boom," "Boom."

Over a dozen black apes that had turned to flee were jumped on by these gray-white giant apes one by one and then heavily trampled under their feet, turning into puddles of meat.

The black apes showed anthropomorphic expressions of fear one after another. Under the urging of the giant apes' chirps, they could only wave the stones and branches in their hands again and rush toward the convoy. Those closer even threw the things in their hands directly, and they actually hit a few human guards.

The dozen or so gray-white giant apes jumped high one after another, rushing to the very front.

"Whoosh," "Whoosh."

When several gray-white giant apes jumped up again, they were pierced through their bodies by two pitch-black giant crossbow bolts in the air, letting out mournful cries and falling from the air.

"Puff," "Puff."

"Bang," "Bang."

Several fireballs and several wind blades also shot down from the air, landing on other giant apes, causing them to either turn into fire apes or have their limbs severed, spraying large amounts of beast blood.

The remaining few white giant apes, carrying the black monkey group, rushed into the human guard formation with bared fangs and brandished claws.

In an instant, the human guards switched to close-quarters swords and fought with the giant monkey group, the scene very chaotic.

Just then, a thunderous roar came from the high mountain, and a pitch-black thing was suddenly thrown from the high mountain, smashing toward the convoy at the foot of the mountain.

Some guards looked closely and were scared out of their wits, shouting desperately to others:

"Run!"

The pitch-black thing that fell was actually a tree over ten meters high.

"Boom," a loud noise.

The tree crushed a vehicle carrying a giant crossbow into fragments. Two human guards and seven or eight black apes fighting nearby were also affected, screaming and chirping amidst the flying fragments.

And more black dots were thrown down from the mountain, all of which were trees just pulled out of the mud and giant mountain rocks.

"Booming."

Continuous loud noises came from the convoy, and other giant crossbows and vehicles were also smashed into powder by the trees and giant rocks.

"There are ranked demon apes!"

Among those low-rank Qi Refinement cultivators in the air, someone shouted in shock and anger.

As soon as the words fell, another black thing flew out from the mountain peak, falling toward the battlefield below.

This time, those few human Qi Refinement cultivators saw clearly that what fell was a ferocious demon ape, pitch-black all over, three zhang tall.

"Puff," "Puff."

Two wind blades about a foot long shot out from the talismans thrown by two Qi Refinement cultivators, and after a flash, they slashed onto the black demon ape.

A faint black gas rolled on the demon ape's body, and it bounced the two wind blades away, remaining unharmed itself.

"It's a late-stage Qi Refinement demon ape!"

These few Qi Refinement cultivators witnessed this scene, and after feeling the astonishing fluctuations emitted from the black gas, they lost color and could no longer care about other apes below, turning to deal with this great enemy.

Some chanted, pinching spells crazily, and some threw various talismans, turning into ice cones and fireballs.

There was also a fourth-level Qi Refinement cultivator who took out a short sword artifact pasted with a talisman from his sleeve, turning into a cold light and rolling toward the opposite side; it was a talisman sword that low-rank Qi Refinement cultivators could also drive.

"Roar."

The black giant ape saw the dense attacks coming, but took a deep breath in the air, then suddenly opened its mouth and let out a giant roar.

White sound waves sprayed out from the giant ape's mouth. Whether it was spells like ice cones and fireballs, or the cold light turned into by the talisman sword, all were scattered in the white sound waves, swaying, unable to get close to the demon ape at all.

"No, this is not late-stage, it's a perfect demon beast!" The mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivator who threw the talisman sword artifact lost his voice upon witnessing this scene, his face full of despair.

A perfect Qi Refinement demon beast was not something they, these early and mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivators, could be opponents of. Even if they all fought for their lives, I fear it wouldn't be enough for the other party to slap them once.

Just then, from a white cloud high in the sky, a "Clang" sound came.

A cyan-red two-colored shock rainbow swept out from the cloud, and after a flash, it arrived in front of the black giant ape, just circling around the demon ape, and then flew back into the white cloud as a long rainbow.

The black giant ape's body stiffened in mid-air. The next moment, it split into two from the waist and fell from the air, heavily hitting the ground.

This perfect Qi Refinement demon ape, which looked astonishingly imposing, died instantly under the circling of the long rainbow just now.

"A Foundation Establishment senior has taken action!"

"Thank you, senior, for your help!"

Those few Qi Refinement cultivators saw this and were overjoyed, bowing to the high sky one after another.

Those mortal guards also cheered thunderously, while the black monkey group and gray-white giant apes immediately abandoned the attack with mournful cries and fled in defeat.

In the white cloud, on a bone boat.

Wang Yu grabbed at the void with one hand, and the cyan-red long rainbow turned into a pitch-black long blade and fell into his hand, with cyan-red two-colored inscription phantoms vaguely flashing on the surface of the long blade.

"Fellow Daoist Wang has such exquisite artifact-driving skills. Although this perfect Qi Refinement Iron-Backed Gray Ape is nothing, it is proficient in escape techniques. If there is any disturbance, it will use escape methods to flee underground, making it difficult to find. It was not in vain that I dragged the fellow daoist to squat here for most of the day." The Yan-surnamed young man, who was also standing on the bone boat, said to Wang Yu with a light laugh.

"If Brother Yan had taken action personally, you could have taken down this beast more easily. However, I didn't expect that your palace's patrol deacon would also be responsible for the task of slaying demon beasts." Wang Yu replied calmly twice, then flipped his palm, and the black long blade in his hand disappeared. ===== CHAPTER 482 =====
