Chapter 86: Thunder of Shock

“Clang!”

Yi Qianmo swung his sword heavily. The terrifying spiritual power emanating from the Repel Evil Sword rivaled that of the Golden Giant Ape.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

Three consecutive strikes landed squarely on the ape’s massive fists. Ripples of spiritual energy coursed through the Golden Giant Ape’s body, and the sharp, metallic echoes reverberated around the lake.

“How is this possible… it’s being suppressed?”

Guan Shanqing stared in disbelief, his face pale. This felt like a clash between a Golden Core warrior and a third-grade spirit beast.

A blood-curdling aura erupted from Yi Qianmo. The spiritual energy surrounding the Repel Evil Sword swirled ominously, a sickening mix of black and red that gnawed at the ape’s golden protective energy.

What unnerved Guan Shanqing even more were the spectral faces clinging to the sword—vengeful spirits, devouring the Golden Giant Ape’s power with every strike.

Yet it wasn’t just the sword that shocked him.

It was Yi Qianmo’s swordsmanship.

The agile Golden Giant Ape seemed sluggish and outmatched. Every thrust, slash, and chop of Yi Qianmo’s sword left it scrambling to block, never finding an opening to counter.

Still, the Golden Giant Ape was a formidable foe. Yi Qianmo was only artificially elevated to the Foundation Establishment Stage, while the ape, with its ancestral Golden Giant Ape bloodline, could rival even a Golden Core expert.

Boom!

The ape seized an opening and struck Yi Qianmo with a thunderous punch, sending him flying dozens of yards.

But Yi Qianmo simply spat out blood, his eyes burning with resolve. He rose to his feet and charged again.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

The exchange continued. Yi Qianmo’s relentless assault pushed the Golden Giant Ape onto the defensive. The blood curse energy entwined around the ape, worsening its wounds and slowing its movements.

After hundreds of exchanges, the ape began to falter.

“Bang!”

A desperate punch from the ape sent Yi Qianmo skidding back, but the blow lacked its earlier force. The ape’s strength was waning.

And then, something unthinkable happened.

The Golden Giant Ape—proud and battle-hardened—turned and fled toward the forest.

Guan Shanqing gasped.

“A monkey king… running away?!”

But Yi Qianmo’s voice rang out cold and unyielding.

“I gave you a chance to leave earlier. Now it’s too late!”

Without hesitation, he chased after the fleeing beast, sword blazing with murderous intent.

Deep within the forest, the Golden Giant Ape roared, its golden aura flaring as it prepared for a final stand.

Yi Qianmo, however, was ready. He activated the Sword Pill, condensing the blood curse energy into pure sword intent.

“Wind is coming! Thunder is rumbling!”

Combining the Wind Word Sword Technique with the Thunder Word Sword Technique, Yi Qianmo unleashed the full power of the Chaotic Sword Body.

His movements became a blur, his blade howling with spectral cries. Lightning flashed, and the wind roared as he closed the distance.

The Golden Giant Ape swung its massive fist, but it was too late.

“Boom!”

Yi Qianmo’s sword struck the ape’s back with devastating force, shattering its golden spiritual barrier. Vengeful spirits poured into the ape’s body, accompanied by ghostly wails that echoed through the forest.

The Golden Giant Ape collapsed, its massive frame hitting the ground like a felled mountain.

Guan Shanqing, finally catching up, froze at the scene before him.

The once-mighty ape lay lifeless, its golden fur dull and brittle, its body shriveled as if drained of life.

“It’s… dead!”

He stared at the corpse, then at Yi Qianmo, who was leaning on his sword, barely standing.

Yi Qianmo’s aura was faint, his body trembling with exhaustion.

Greed flickered in Guan Shanqing’s eyes.

Slowly, he stepped forward, his voice carefully neutral.

“Brother Su… are you okay?”
