Chapter 85: Golden Giant Ape

Just when Yi Qianmo could no longer hold on, everything suddenly brightened, the surrounding water pressure disappeared, and a fierce wind came towards him. He realized that the dragon turtle had leaped out of the lake, soaring high above the surface, reaching several dozen yards in height.

"Are we done yet!"

Yi Qianmo felt a deep sense of fear inside.

He was on the belly of the dragon turtle; if he fell into the water, it would be just like hitting a stone slab, and he would definitely be shattered.

"Almost there, my lord, just hold on a little longer!"

The voice of Taoist Qingmu came from Repel Evil. After absorbing the dragon turtle’s essence, the sword turned blood red, and countless souls swirled around, tearing at the dragon turtle’s flesh.

However, although the souls on Repel Evil were powerful, they were not at their peak, and the dragon turtle’s body was enormous. If things continued like this, the Repel Evil Sword could drain the dragon turtle completely.

But Yi Qianmo could not hold on any longer; before the dragon turtle was drained, it would kill him.

At that moment, the dragon turtle flying out of the lake began to fall. A strong wind howled past. Taoist Qingmu seemed to sense Yi Qianmo’s wavering spirit and said, "My lord, just hold on a little longer. It will be over soon!"

But Yi Qianmo did not believe his words. He activated the mark on Repel Evil, pulled with all his strength, and released Repel Evil.

"Waaaah…"

A chilling howl echoed through the air, the dragon turtle’s body shook, and a terrifying force erupted. Yi Qianmo was thrown far away.

"Boom!"

Soon after, the dragon turtle plunged into the water, and a massive wave rose in the lake. Yi Qianmo also fell, but in mid-air, he adjusted his body and landed feet-first on the surface of the lake.

However, even so, once he hit the water, Yi Qianmo spat out a mouthful of blood, as he had suffered great injuries from the dragon turtle.

Just after he fell into the water, the dragon turtle, which had also fallen, immediately locked onto his scent and opened its mouth to swallow him. At that moment, Yi Qianmo didn’t even have the strength to move; he could only watch helplessly as he fell into the dragon turtle’s jaws.

But just then, a dark shadow darted through the water, grabbing Yi Qianmo and pulling him away from the dragon turtle’s gaping mouth. With the push of the waves, they quickly distanced themselves from the dragon turtle.

"You’re not dead!"

Yi Qianmo stared in surprise at the person in the water.

"Brother Su is not dead either! That’s a relief, I thought Brother Su was gone, and it worried me all day." The one who saved him was Guan Shanqing, who was much lighter in the water than on land.

"What is happening here?"

Yi Qianmo asked curiously.

"That monkey king has returned to its roots!"

Guan Shanqing said, "When the dragon turtle almost swallowed me, that monkey king suddenly burst out from the dragon turtle’s belly, leaving a bloody hole, and it transformed into gold. It is also a royal beast."

"Golden!"

Yi Qianmo suddenly thought of something, "Could it be the Golden Giant Ape? There are monkeys with Golden Giant Ape blood in the Yanshan Mountains!"

"This is not the time to talk about that. The dragon turtle is coming again!"

Guan Shanqing pointed to the lake in the distance.

But at that moment, Yi Qianmo did not feel afraid. When he fell into the lake earlier, he was hurt and had no time to react, but now it was different.

He held the Repel Evil Sword, which shone with a bloody red light in the lake, making Guan Shanqing feel uneasy all over.

"You are good at swimming; when it comes near, you take me to that bloody hole on its belly!"

Yi Qianmo said.

Guan Shanqing couldn’t believe it, but he still stopped. The dragon turtle swam closer, and when it saw them standing still, a questioning light appeared in its lantern-like eyes.

For some reason, the dragon turtle suddenly turned around midway and sank to the bottom of the lake, disappearing in no time.

Guan Shanqing looked at Yi Qianmo, then at the sword in his hand, stunned.

But Yi Qianmo knew that the dragon turtle wasn’t afraid of him; it was afraid of the Repel Evil sword. The bloody hole made by the monkey king could heal, but it was not easy to recover from a stab of the Repel Evil.

Most importantly, the Repel Evil had absorbed enough blood. As long as he united with the sword, Yi Qianmo could briefly gain the power of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

His judgment was correct; Taoist Qingmu wanted to use him like a knife. If he had a single greedy thought in mid-air, he might have already died in the lake.

However, he didn’t have time to settle scores with Taoist Qingmu right now, and he pushed Guan Shanqing.

The two immediately surfaced, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boom!"

Just as they swam to the shore, a giant ape, three meters tall, landed before them. This giant ape had golden fur all over its body, but its eyes were blood-red.

"Monkey King!"

Guan Shanqing, who came ashore, was so scared that his whole body went limp.

The Golden Giant Ape before them, although only a second-grade spirit beast, was definitely close to third-grade in strength. The pressure coming from it made it hard for Guan Shanqing to breathe.

"Get lost, or die!"

Yi Qianmo said coldly while holding the Repel Evil.

Although he was injured, he still had the strength to fight.

"Brother Su… are you crazy?"

Guan Hanqing looked at Yi Qianmo in disbelief; after all, this was a Golden Giant Ape, and Su Muzhi was actually threatening it!

However, what shocked him was that the Golden Giant Ape seemed to understand, and Guan Shanqing saw fear in its eyes!

Indeed, a Golden Giant Ape with the battle power of a third-grade spirit beast was afraid of a cultivator at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage. This surprised him and also gave him a glimmer of hope.

But the Golden Giant Ape clearly wasn’t going to back down. It suddenly stepped forward and charged at Yi Qianmo with its massive fist, like a boulder, aiming to smash him.

If that hit, wouldn’t Yi Qianmo be turned into a pile of mush?

Just then, Yi Qianmo grabbed him and dodged the punch, then threw him fiercely back into the lake.

Guan Shanqing thought he would follow him into the lake, but he found that Yi Qianmo did not go down; the sword in his hand burst with a strange blood light.

Soon after, Guan Shanqing saw the most shocking scene of his life.

The blood light on the sword surrounded Yi Qianmo, and that blood light flowed into his body. Suddenly, a thick layer of black scales grew on his fair skin, and his body gradually began to grow taller, reaching a full ten feet, like a giant.

Even more terrifying, countless vengeful spirits swirled around Yi Qianmo’s sword, clawing and snarling.

He had seen people from the Blood Demon Sect, but Guan Shanqing felt that those people were like little ghosts compared to Yi Qianmo, who was like the King of Hell.

"Foundation Establishment… The aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage, what… is happening?!"

Guan Shanqing slapped himself, feeling like he was dreaming, but he realized it was not a dream.

Just then, the Golden Giant Ape charged at Yi Qianmo, shimmering with a golden light, a sign of its immense spiritual power.

"Xun is the wind!"

Yi Qianmo whispered.

Around him, a light wind suddenly swirled. He held the Repel Evil tightly and advanced. The vengeful spirits on the sword merged with him. At that moment, Yi Qianmo looked like an evil god descending to earth.
