Chapter 519: The Depressed Chen Chao

Forced into revealing his true form, Yuan Ling's eyes burned with a red fury, filled with murderous intent.

“I'm going to dig out your heart and liver, and savor them to see what they taste like!”

While demons naturally consume human flesh, higher-level demons actually lose interest in blood prey. Demons had their own cultivation methods, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, much like human cultivators. This was the heaven-defying trait that gave demons a significant advantage. Having an unparalleled physique to begin with, coupled with demonic arts, they naturally held a great advantage when fighting with humans.

This was why, over the years, the foreign cultivators had been reluctant to confront demons head-on, leaving the Great Liang in a perpetual state of passive defense.

Chen Chao gripped Cloud Mud tightly and said nothing more. He just exhaled a breath of white mist. Looking at the much larger green ape, he smiled then beckoned his hand at him.

Bring it on.

When I didn't draw my saber, you weren't my match. After drawing my saber, what ability do you have to surpass me?

The green ape howled at the sky and the sound wave shook the heavens. The snow-covered hillside in the distance was affected by the sonic wave, collapsing instantly. Countless accumulated snow fell, forming one snowball after another, rolling toward this side.

The wind and snow howled.

Yuan Ling began to charge at Chen Chao, the black spear in his hand flickering with an eerie light. Demonic qi erupted, carving a clear path through the wind and snow!

As their figures drew closer, the towering green ape was majestic, with arms thicker than a normal person's thighs. Beneath the green fur, it seemed to conceal immense power. When they were only a few dozen feet away, Yuan Ling finally thrust his spear. The powerful aura was accompanied by the wind and snow, feeling like a great gale had arisen, making Chen Chao's clothes rustle loudly.

Chen Chao's expression remained unchanged. Cloud Mud had long been unsheathed, but he did not swing it until they were within twenty to thirty feet. At that moment, he swung fiercely.

In an instant, the snowstorm was filled with a saber light that blotted out the skies and covered the earth, flashing everywhere.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

The two auras collided abruptly in the snowstorm, grinding the surrounding snow into powder.

The black spear cut through the wind and snow, thrusting straight for Chen Chao's chest. This spear was exceptionally domineering, and the powerful aura contained at the spear tip suggested that if it struck Chen Chao, it would likely cause severe injury instantly.

At this moment, Cloud Mud's handle had already turned black. It was raised high by Chen Chao, who then brought it down with a mighty swing.

Sparks flew!

However, this time, Chen Chao could not hold his ground. Instead, he was forcefully pushed forward by Yuan Ling's true form's immense power. The spear remained in front of him, with demonic qi continuously surging. Chen Chao's expression changed slightly. Aside from the demoness he had encountered before, he had not fought with a true prodigy of the demon race. Facing such a demon with a powerful bloodline, he had somewhat underestimated him. He had thought that he would at least be evenly matched, but he did not expect that after Yuan Ling revealed his true form, his strength surged dramatically. In terms of physical prowess alone, Chen Chao was likely at a disadvantage.

However, this was not unacceptable. After all, the demon race's physique was inherently superior to that of humans, and the green ape before him was clearly among the elite of that group.

Chen Chao continued to swing his saber, cutting through the demonic qi in front of him, but his body was involuntarily sliding backward non-stop.

Soon, two long tracks appeared on the snowy ground, but they were quickly covered by increasingly larger snowballs rolling from behind.

This created a bizarre scene: Chen Chao and Yuan Ling in the front, with the snowballs chasing after them from behind.

After several hundred yards, Yuan Ling roared again, lifting the spear's tip. Chen Chao blocked with his saber, but the immense force caused the Cloud Mud in his hands to nearly slip from his grasp. The webbing between his thumb and index finger was also impacted and in pain.

Enraged, Yuan Ling let out another long howl. The shockwave from his roar flattened the nearby snow hills, causing an avalanche to rush down in an instant!

Chen Chao looked at the might of heaven and earth unleashed by a mortal's fury, his expression becoming rather ugly.

......

......

Even with an avalanche triggered, neither of them was deterred. They continued to fight fiercely amidst the wind and snow.

Yuan Ling's broad back did not fear any wind or snow, but Chen Chao could not afford such luxury. While fighting Yuan Ling, he had to constantly remain vigilant. It was not fear of the snowstorm itself but rather the concern that if the avalanche interfered, the increasingly frenzied green ape would likely seize the opportunity to kill him.

Chen Chao sighed deeply.

The green ape before him was not dumb, but it was not easy to kill.

The two finally had a real exchange of injuries in the storm.

Yuan Lin's spear pierced through Chen Chao’s shoulder, impaling him directly, while Chen Chao's saber almost entirely penetrated Yuan Ling's body.

They were mere inches away from each other's vitals.

Chen Chao felt a deep sense of regret but obediently withdrew his saber, increasing the distance between himself and the green ape.

Both of them were now covered in blood, appearing extremely miserable.

Unfortunately, the next moment, Yuan Ling was crushed by a massive snowball from behind, losing his balance. Chen Chao narrowed his eyes, but chose not to advance at that moment. Instead, he cautiously retreated several dozen feet.

Sure enough.

The spot where Chen Chao had been standing suddenly collapsed, taking a large portion of the surrounding snowfield with it.

Chen Chao avoided the trap that Yuan Ling had hastily set up and shook his head, saying, “Why is an animal like you learning about the schemes of humans?”

Yuan Ling remained silent, merely releasing his black spear. A powerful aura suddenly emerged between heaven and earth.

The wind and snow seemed to freeze in place.

Then, countless ice spears erupted from the ground, shooting up into the sky.

Chen Chao sighed, “Damn it, even a demon knows how to do these things now. How are we supposed to live?”

At this moment, Chen Chao was truly feeling depressed.
