Chapter 30 – Ma.s.sacring Sonic Blade (I)

———————————————————————————-

The climbing speed of the gigantic Apemen as they went up the mountain could only be described as terrifying. They only needed a few jumps to immediately arrive by a beast’s side. Despite their similarities to the majority of beasts, they would still s.n.a.t.c.h the beasts from the floor and grab both ends of the beast with their extremely thick arms. An ear-piercing shriek later, the beast would be torn into two. Those Apemen even grabbed at the beasts’ internal organs and stuffed them into their mouths, chewing on them loudly.

“Apemen?” Ye Yin Zhu, surprised, looked at Sura. At this time, Xiang Luan and Hai Yan’s complexions were very unsightly as they stood next to Ye Yin Zhu. Xiang Luan abruptly turned around, supporting herself against a tree as she vomited. This was the first time she saw such a horrifying scene.

Although Sura’s complexion also didn’t look too well, he still steadily said, “Apemen are the generals of a third of the beastmen fighting forces. With their extraordinary strength, they can easily tear even a tiger in half. The hair on their bodies are extremely tough; an ordinary sword would have a difficult time injuring them. Even if our human Heavy Cavalry comes across them, they would have trouble withstanding the Apemen. What are the beastmen up to, sending out these expert climbers? Don’t tell me they want to mount a sneak attack on Konya City?”

Ye Yin Zhu frowned and said, “Wrong! Although these Apemen appear to be very powerful, the difference between them and our Dragon Cavalry is still great. They number only a hundred…” As he said this, his eyes suddenly dilated. Just as he saw those hundred Apemen at the top of a nearby mountain peak, he also saw countless ash-gray figures appear, dotting the base of the mountain and continuously forging upward.

Sura bellowed, “Quickly! This is only a scouting party! We need to return and notify everyone.”

A shadow suddenly appeared across the sky. Sura raised his head to look, only to see a Apemen’s thick arm grab a tree trunk, ripping it out as it charged in their direction. Its target was the vomiting Xiang Luan.

“Watch out!” Sura shouted lowly, but Ye Yin Zhu had already moved.

Stretching out with his left hand, Ye Yin Zhu pulled Xiang Luan into his chest as a semi-circular arc flashed out like lightning from his right hand. Pure yellow dou qi clashed with the Apeman’s thick body. With a loud bang, the Apeman was immediately jolted and sent flying away.

At this time, a generous amount of Apemen had already used their astonis.h.i.+ng speed to climb up. Ye Yin Zhu discovered that the four of them were already surrounded.

“Let’s take advantage of the fact that their main forces aren’t here yet and kill them all.” Sura’s body rose without any hesitation, the dagger in his hand already exchanged for Angel’s Sigh. His slender silhouette flashed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he overtook the Apemen Ye Yin Zhu had sent flying with an explosion of speed. The black light of Angel’s Sigh flashed and immediately created a b.l.o.o.d.y streak that followed its trail.

Ye Yin Zhu’s reaction was very quick. Perhaps it was because the crisis had thoroughly aroused his potential, but as he lifted Hai Yang onto his back with his right arm, his left arm embraced Xiang Luan, allowing her to cling to his body. His legs pushed against the ground, and he followed Sura by das.h.i.+ng ahead.

Angel’s Sigh was indeed worthy of being a divine device t.i.tled the Uncrowned King within a.s.sa.s.sin circles. With Sura’s lightning-quick speed, its innate qualities were vividly and thoroughly on display. Each flash of black light would be accompanied by a storm of blood, as the Cursed Blade severed each and every Apeman’s throat. Sura’s entire body resembled a dagger as he pierced through the enemy faction.

If an a.s.sa.s.sin didn’t need to defend themselves, then their attacks were even more terrifying than a Dragon Cavalryman. The current Sura was exactly like this. During this crisis, and with the Eternal Subst.i.tute Puppet activated, his illusory figure had essentially no need to evade any of the Apemen attacks since all of them phased through his body. They were utterly incapable of bringing the slightest bit of harm to him. In addition, his Angel’s Sigh harvested their lives at a rapid pace.
