1216 Surprising Yield (1/2)

The armor plate hit the ground, flesh and blood exposed, as if its skin had been ripped off.

The knife marks on the throat and chest were fatal.

Just like that, the Armored Ape King died a gruesome death without even knowing what hit him.

One strike, one instant kill!

”Good weapon! Even better wielding technique!”

Chen Xiaobei held up the Dragon's Edge with both hands and examined it. Since its fortification, there were not much physical changes to the saber. One of the newer features was the brilliance that twirled endlessly like a gust of wind wrapping itself in a black space.

When Chen Xiaobei wielded it, the gust of wind would transform into a deadly tornado, making his battles as easy as he had expected it to be.

Chen Xiaobei then reached into the bodies of the Armored Apes, and dug out the Beast Cores. The larger one belonged to Armored Ape King, which was Silver-grade; and the smaller one belonged to the Ape Soldier, which was Platinated-bronze-grade.

While he was doing that, Chen Xiaobei also used the Chaos Blood Sword to absorb their blood essences and souls. The energy stored inside the swords were about 80,000 combat power.

He then left the Armored Apes' bodies on the ground as they were because Gu Congwen had said that a damaged Demonic Beast was worthless and the bodies were solid evidence that Chen Xiaobei had killed the Armored Ape King anyway.

When Chen Xiaobei was fighting the Armored Ape King, the white fox hid a few hundred meters away. Doubtful that Chen Xiaobei would be able to win the battle without any trouble, it dared not approach.

There was a Chinese saying that went, 'to know if a person is alive, we need to see them in person; to know that a person is dead, we need to see their corpse'.

If Chen Xiaobei took the body of the Ape King with him or the White fox and the rest of the Wicked Beasts would not believe that Chen Xiaobei had completed the feat of executing it.

”The Ape King's Beat Core could increase my combat power and health by 10,000. The Ape Soldier's could increase them by 2,000. Combined with the dozen of Black Steel Beast Cores, this was indeed a rathe profitable yield!”

Chen Xiaobei was elated with his spoils of war but he also had his reservations.

”I have the 3,000 year Ginseng Fruit, and if I add that to my current 2,070 years, I can use the Blood Descendants' Dark Powers once! I will need collect more Beast Cores! It's easy to get them anyway. What's difficult is adding years to my lifespan. Let's hope that Old Leader completes the 3,000,000 words so that I can get the next Ginseng Fruit!”

Instead of rushing to spend his haul, Chen Xiaobei practiced a careful approach to his situation. He put the Beast Cores away and left the cavern to meet with the white fox at the rendezvous point to deliver the news.

”What?! You did it? How is that possible?!”

The white fox dared not believe what it was told.

”If you don't trust me, then just pretend I didn't say anything. See you when I see you!”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged and turned to leave.

The body was where it was, and the truth would be made known sooner or later. The public would soon know about the Armored Ape King's death.

Chen Xiaobei was not in the mood to try to convince white fox. He chose to let it savor the shock on its own when it learns of the truth itself.

”No! No! It's not that I don't trust you!” The white fox tried to explain. ”It's just that, that was too fast! It's like nothing happened… It's naturally quite unbelievable…”

Chen Xiaobei had indeed killed the Armored Ape King within seconds. The entire operation took less than a few minutes, and not a stir was made.

It was only normal that the white fox found it hard to believe.

”I won't repeat the same thing thrice. The metal-skinned monkey is dead!”

Chen Xiaobei walked away.

”Please stay!” The white fox quickly said, ”Please just wait here for 3 minutes. I have something that I'd like to give to you!”
