Chapter 551: The Whereabouts of the Path of Ingress (1/2)

Blood streaked down from the corner of the golden scarlet ape’s mouth as well—the full power of the Black Emperor was just too horrifying. Caught off guard, grievous wounds instantly visited themselves upon Scarlet Ape.

Lu Yun’s condition was no better. Although Xing Chen had borne the brunt of the backlash, Lu Yun’s internal organs were a compact ball of gore as well. He would’ve died, if not for the Tome of Life and Death.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he activated the three hundred weapons of war. Pillars of white light blazed at the two scarlet apes in terrifying ferocious unison.

When they were all fired at full power, the three hundred weapons of war would critically injure even the former nine celestial emperors if those august personages took the blows to the face.

Hum.

However, a resonant hum sounded in the air as silver radiance spread across the area. Three hundred rays of light rammed into a silver barrier, shattering it upon impact. Blowing past that line of resistance, the pillars of light then rammed into another barrier of white light.

Silver and white rippled and intertwined in the air, finally offsetting each other and eventually dissipating.

Taking a firm stance before the golden scarlet ape, the silver one had brought up a giant silver shield to protect its dao partner. The shield had blocked the concerted blows of three hundred weapons of war, yet remained completely free of damage.

“Kekeke—” The silver scarlet ape let out a peal of strange and grating laughter. “Lu Yun, isn’t it? I knew it must be you!”

“Heh, the maximum power of three hundred war treasures, hmm? I, too, would’ve been decimated if I’d faced it head on!” The golden scarlet ape glared at Lu Yun with bloodthirst in its fiery eyes, cutting its partner short. “Now, die—”

It raised its iron rod and swung it at Lu Yun, but before it could complete the move, silver flashed across the scene as its partner bashed it in the back of its head with the shield.

Thud!

The golden scarlet ape was smacked straight to the ground, its short legs twitching from the impact.

“I don’t know how, but I know you resurrected me, Lu Yun.” The silver scarlet ape flicked a glance at Lu Yun with its pale blue eyes. “In return, I’ll spare your life this time.”

It grabbed the legs of the golden scarlet ape and slowly dragged it out of the area, while Scarlet Ape clung to its iron rod like its life depended on it.

“Of course, there wasn’t much bad blood between us to begin with,” the silver scarlet ape called back faintly. “If you return the piece of the iron rod that you took from my Goldie, I won’t kill you the next time we meet, either.”

Lu Yun didn’t dignify the proposal with an answer.

Peace returned to the premises after the two scarlet apes left. A weak ray of light from an unknown source cast upon the clearing, providing faint illumination.

Thud!

Lu Yun plopped down on the ground, breathing heavily and drenched in cold sweat.
