Let make up for my own mistake.
The Sword Elder’s strike was ineffective, and as he retreated from the battle, he failed to notice the red-haired Blood Monkey hopping vigorously from the tree canopy above, eyes ablaze as he pursued with all his might.
His thoughts were, in fact, the sa as the Sword Elder’s.
He felt even more humiliated than the Sword Elder.
At least, the Sword Elder had turned back to put up so resistance...
But what about him?
He could only watch from afar as the other side shot down the Young Master’s treasured Divine Eagle with a single arrow, powerless to stop it.
He didn’t even have the opportunity to intervene.
Caught in the cave, played for a fool, he felt like an utter idiot.
"He’s injured, he absolutely cannot withstand another strike from ."
Blood Monkey roared inwardly, feeling as if the trees beneath his feet transford into a flat grassland, and the sound of the wind brushed past his ears, reminiscent of those childhood races with friends at the village entrance under the setting sun.
A sudden shock passed through his body as the fifth ridian of the Extraordinary ridians forcefully opened.
His Qi chanism surged, and his staff montum grew even stronger.
As the staff descended, he felt as if the air shattered like glass, exploding into thousands of pieces.
And his opponent?
Seed to move a bit more sluggishly, lacking the agility seen during earlier pursuits.
"Die."
Blood Monkey was overjoyed, knowing the mont to achieve rit had co.
Though it was not honorable to take advantage of an injured opponent,
this was not a martial arts tournant but a life-and-death confrontation where anything goes, without the need for too much concern.
"If I don’t kill this damned monkey, I won’t be able to rest easy."
Chen Ping neither dodged nor fled, suddenly raising his hand.
He grabbed onto the head of the staff.
Bang...
The full-force strike from Blood Monkey landed as if it had smashed into a diamond monolith.
The force of the recoil surged, causing his muscles and bones to vibrate with a humming noise.
His arms went limp, his eardrums trembled, and golden stars appeared before his eyes.
As fiercely as he had struck, that was how fiercely he was shaken now.
Chen Ping’s injuries weren’t as severe as the opponent imagined.
At the very least, after his Qi and Blood circulated three tis, his strength and the soreness in his muscles and bones had already recovered.
Though his Inner Qi ridians were damaged and his internal organs had dimd vitality,
the oddly growing Divine Power in his body still existed.
In his previous clashes with Blood Monkey, he not only concealed his realm in archery but also his unparalleled Divine Power.
He relied only on skill, breaking techniques.
Because he knew that even if he used his overpowering force and could kill this damned monkey, he would instantly be targeted and locked onto by the Sword Elder.
Then, he would strike with a sword.
At that ti, he would still be injured.
In such a scenario, there would be no chance to escape the pursuit of the Divine Eagle.
Now the situation was different.
The Divine Eagle was dead.
The Sword Elder’s sword montum had been pushed back, the Qi chanism locking had been broken, and he couldn’t catch up in a short ti.
Since the monkey wanted to get close to die,
naturally, that would be fulfilled.
After grasping the head of the staff, Chen Ping didn’t hesitate.
He exerted force with one arm, giving a heavy pull.
A force of thirteen thousand jins exploded.
The monkey was pulled to him like a straw.
Before he could muster more strength to use his exquisite boxing techniques,
he saw a flash of coldness in Chen Ping’s eyes, and his arms closed to embrace him fully.
Crack... crack...
A series of sounds resembling firecrackers resonated in the forest.
They were truly chilling.
By the ti the Sword Elder caught up again, he discovered that Blood Monkey had truly beco a real blood monkey.
Not only was blood flowing from his seven orifices, but also from his skin pores, the valley gate below, and the Baihui point atop his head.
That wasn’t all.
If it were just bleeding, it wouldn’t be unsalvageable.
The main problem was that Blood Monkey’s body had turned into human-shaped mush... chest ribs, spinal bones, and even the skull had shattered into fragnts.
"With one embrace, to this extent?"
The Sword Elder’s two snowy eyebrows twitched repeatedly.
Recalling the imnse, flowing force felt when he struck earlier, even he had experienced his arms going limp, his Qi chanism slightly disrupted.
"What kind of monster is this, what has it ingested to grow such massive power?"
In his impression, achieving more than ten thousand jins of force at the Tier Three level was unheard of.
However, based on what he saw and felt firsthand, there was no mistake.
Watching the figure disappear into the dense forest again, the Sword Elder finally lost the will to pursue.
He knew that with the opponent’s Body and Footwork, since he could still make a move, his injuries weren’t too severe.
Now that the Divine Eagle was no longer locking onto a position, no matter how many experts were on his side, they couldn’t catch up.
Even if they did, it wouldn’t serve much purpose.
...
"Shall we continue the pursuit?"
Yuwen Ying stood on the hilltop, gazing at the forest sea swaying with the wind, his expression remaining very calm.
Everyone knew, however, he was rely pretending.
Inside, he was already burning with rage.
Everyone bowed their heads, now not daring to make clever remarks or voice their opinions, fearing Yuwen Ying would vent his fury on them.
This ti, even the Sword Elder stayed silent... rely standing quietly, stroking the long sword in his hand.
He seed to have lost all fighting spirit.
"If the Jade Spirit Snake Princess followed, we could still continue the chase. Presently... it’s better to retreat."
The middle-aged scholar Yuo Qiu sighed, knowing he had to speak up.
If people lost their resolve, the team would be difficult to lead.
He absolutely couldn’t let the Young Master make a wrong decision, thereby undermining his authority.
As the saying goes, victory and defeat are common in warfare.
No one can have smooth sailing their whole life without failure.
Sotis, setbacks can indeed be beneficial.
"Right, Aunt Bi, what the gentleman says is true, I will now invite Aunt Bi to take action."
"Young Master..."
Yuo Qiu’s face had already beco sullen, and his tone grew heavier.
