Chapter 611 - 711: Black Ape King
In the forest, it is the absolute king.
The book only contains this one sentence, because the Black Ape King is too mysterious, with few in number, yet exceedingly powerful and possessing the ability to foresee danger. It can sense the dangers it will face next, thus easily avoiding them.
As for the demon beasts or humans that can't harm it, it bullies them with great arrogance.
In short, it's a demon beast with a truly terrible temperament.
The most crucial aspect is that the Black Ape King's strength is unknown. The author of this book was originally at the third or fourth level of the Ten Directions Sect, but after encountering the Black Ape King, barely escaped with his life, and soon after died from severe injuries.
Before dying, he left this sentence: In the forest, it is the absolute king.
The habits and characteristics of the Black Ape King were later supplemented by his descendants, who, in order to complete the Black Ape King's data, went to investigate. Yet, they incurred great losses and only learned this.
After the Black Ape King entered, the large door behind it did not close. However, no new demon beasts entered.
Ye Tianfan was filled with doubt at this moment.
Yes, doubt, because Ye Tianfan found that this Black Ape King was not as formidable as he imagined, just slightly stronger than himself.
It completely mismatched the rumored strength of the Black Ape King.
Because in the rumors, the Black Ape King could seriously injure even Ten Directions level individuals, yet now, this Black Ape King only had this much strength.
Seeing that everyone had hidden well, Ye Tianfan became alert. If the Black Ape King's strength were at the Ten Directions level, Ye Tianfan would not have had them remain on guard, as merely the aura released by the Black Ape King would be enough to crush Ye Tianfan.
But after the initial shock, Ye Tianfan found the Black Ape King was not strong, hence he wanted to face this Black Ape King.
It should be noted that demon beasts are treasures all over. Although this Black Ape King's strength is not high, its bones and skin might not be so valuable. But for Ye Tianfan and his group at the time, they were considered good things. At the very least, the Black Ape King's physique alone was enough to feed them for several days, and its bones could even be used for broth, a free source of nutrition.
Although Ye Tianfan could sense that this Black Ape King was not strong, others could not. Just its physique terrified them, along with the oppressive bloodline pressure.
This Black Ape King, despite not being strong, was still the Black Ape King, and its bloodline was there. The bloodline pressure alone suppressed these people immensely.
So everyone watched the Black Ape King in fear, and when they looked at Ye Tianfan, their eyes were filled with admiration, for they thought that Ye Tianfan facing such a powerful demon beast without fear was something to be greatly respected.
At this moment, the Black Ape King took a step toward the crowd. Despite it being just one step, with its enormous body, this single step covered one-fifth of the distance from the gate to the crowd.
The crowd, seeing the distance of this step, trembled in terror, as this fear also stemmed from the bloodline pressure, though these people didn't understand what bloodline pressure was. They simply perceived the Black Ape King as very powerful.
At this moment, Ye Tianfan's mind was racing. He was searching for a weakness in the Black Ape King, hoping to see if he could strike it with a critical blow, making things much easier afterwards.
Ye Tianfan never considered killing the Black Ape King with one blow, as the Black Ape King was inherently stronger than him, and demon beasts are known for their physical toughness. Merely injuring the Black Ape King would greatly reassure Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan never worried about the Black Ape King going berserk if injured because he surely couldn't inflict a fatal wound at once, so the Black Ape King might get angry, but it wouldn't go berserk.
At this moment, the Black Ape King stepped toward Ye Tianfan once more, eliciting fearful cries from the group.
The bloodline pressure nearly drove them to collapse, though the ordinary people who had not experimented felt suppression but nothing else, since they didn't sense the bloodline pressure.
Just then, Ye Tianfan noticed that when walking, the Black Ape King exposed the tender skin under its armpits.
Ye Tianfan observed that the Black Ape King's skin was generally thick and tough, except for the tender skin under its armpits. He deduced that its armpit skin was the weakest defensively, so he decided to attack this area, hoping it would cause significant harm to the Black Ape King.
Preparing himself, Ye Tianfan drew his Xioayao Sword, intending to exert his full strength this time. If effective, it would prove his method of attacking the Black Ape King's armpit valid. Otherwise, he would have to aim for its eyes, which would be much more troublesome!
By this time, the Black Ape King had already taken its third step.
At the moment when the Black Ape King raised its hand, Ye Tianfan's eyes lit up—it was time.
Ye Tianfan took a deep breath, fetched a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, and swallowed two pills. Then he infused the Xioayao Sword with four techniques, consuming almost ninety percent of his spiritual power, and since he hadn't fully mastered the techniques, the surface of the Xioayao Sword began to blaze with intense flames, emitting an extremely high temperature.
Without letting the heat on the Xioayao Sword fully dissipate, Ye Tianfan charged at the Black Ape King.
As Ye Tianfan moved, fierce flames surged along his path. Or rather, the ground the Xioayao Sword passed over; grass was quickly vaporized, and the soil melted and burned into lava.
Seeing Ye Tianfan's fiery demeanor, the Black Ape King tilted its head in confusion, not understanding why this person suddenly ignited and seemed mightily impressive.
Moreover, as Ye Tianfan, cloaked in intermittent flames, rushed towards it, the Black Ape King didn't understand the approach. Was it to play with it?
But this small fiery thing was too small. Even if it wanted to play, it couldn't grasp it. However, seeing this person so eager to play, it decided to humor him!
