Chapter 66 - Arc 6: Pinglan County Wang Family | Chapter 66: Xuangang Giant Ape

Translator: Lynn

Nian Hongzhi and the others, who had previously mocked Xu Ziqing and attempted to cause his demise, ultimately met their own demise instead. Their malevolent intentions led to their own retribution, leaving no trace of their bodies. Their grand ambitions of immortality ended in failure, showcasing the irony of their misguided cleverness.

In a matter of seconds, from the confrontation between Bloodthirsty Demon Vine and Ruan Yuan to the point where the three of them were completely drained, the Gui Yin-Yang sisters stood in shock, unable to react in time.

The once lively trio transformed into bloody skeletons in an instant, their skeletal remains scattering on impact, leaving behind an eerie and terrifying scene.

The two blood vines were extracted and swayed in the air.

At that moment, the two sisters felt their Qi being locked, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of danger that gripped their hearts.

Could it be that the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine intended to feast on them as well?

Regret began to seep into Guiyin and Guiyang’s minds for staying behind.

While they genuinely wanted to aid Xu Ziqing, risking their lives was never part of their plan. The two sisters immediately became cautious, their yin and yang spiders on their faces appearing as if they were on the verge of unleashing their power at any moment.

The two blood vines did not rush toward them immediately; instead, they seemed to hesitate.

One of the vines leaped forward, as if preparing to strike, but halted midway, seemingly struggling with an internal conflict. The other vine appeared patient, extending and retracting without haste.

The Gui Yin-Yang sisters exchanged glances, maintaining their vigilance while the unsettling feeling within them intensified. LaaTest novels on (n)ovelbi/n(.)com

What was happening with these two Bloodthirsty Demon Vines?

They glanced at the blood-stained young man in the green shirt once again, noticing that he remained motionless. They couldn’t help but wonder if he had been affected by a backlash.

Since the blood vine originated from Xu Ziqing’s palm, it must be his technique. However, such a terrifying method could not be easily controlled.

What they didn’t anticipate was that a gentle and polite young man, possessing the benevolent attribute of wood, would be accompanied by such a peculiar plant. It was truly surprising.

If these sanctimonious individuals were to witness the act of bloodsucking, regardless of Xu Ziqing’s true character, they would undoubtedly condemn him as a practitioner of demonic arts.

Just as these thoughts raced through their minds, the sisters contemplated using the power of the sun spider to halt the situation and escape as quickly as possible.

In the next moment, it seemed that the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine could no longer contain itself and lunged forward. The sun spider swiftly detached from the sisters’ faces and dashed towards the approaching vine.

However, the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine abruptly halted, reluctantly retracting itself in slow motion.

At that moment, a gentle voice of a young man resonated.

“Thank you, fellow cultivators, for your assistance.”

The two sisters hastily scanned their surroundings, only to discover that the young man in the green shirt had awakened and was looking at them with kindness.

“Xu Ziqing?” Guiyang called out.

The young man in the green shirt smiled faintly. “Yes, it’s me.”

During Xu Ziqing’s brush with death, he instinctively triggered the bloodthirsty Bloodthirsty Demon Vine. However, due to his earlier emotional turmoil and severe injuries, the bloodthirsty intent of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine merged with his own anger, momentarily influencing his consciousness.

Having witnessed Nian Hongzhi and the others’ sinister calculations and encountering the infamous Gui Yin-Yang sisters, Xu Ziqing felt differently. The Blue Frost Grass held no value to him, but for the Gui Yin-Yang sisters, it was an extraordinary treasure. How could he not offer it as a token of appreciation?

Seeing the sisters hesitate, Xu Ziqing said, “You need not refuse. If you reject it, it would make me seem too humble. Moreover, please let me know if you find this item beneath you. I will do my utmost to fulfill my gratitude.” He smiled warmly, his eyes filled with sincerity.

The Gui Yin-Yang sisters exchanged glances and found themselves contemplating Xu Ziqing’s character. They realized that he was genuinely kind-hearted, and if someone treated him with kindness, he would undoubtedly repay it. He wasn’t the type to be petty, greedy, or cruel.

No longer pretending, they discussed among themselves. If they rejected Xu Ziqing’s offering, they would truly be seen as lacking in ambition. So they accepted and said, “Thank you very much.”

Guiyin suggested, “Daoist Xu, you are not severely injured. If you don’t mind, you can leave with my sister.”

Guiyang also smiled and added, “Please don’t refuse.”

Sighing, Xu Ziqing looked into the distance and spoke quickly, “It’s not that I want to reject your kindness, but those people used some means to make the Vajra giant ape consider me its mortal enemy. The ape met a miserable end, and I fear that even now...”

Perhaps due to the influence of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine’s consciousness, Xu Ziqing had a sense that the matter was far from over.

As if confirming his intuition, a fierce roar suddenly erupted from the distant forest!

It was the cry of the ape!

Having received the Blue Frost Grass from Xu Ziqing, the Gui Yinyang sisters were now unwilling to leave in this precarious situation. Guiyang spoke, “My spider might be of some use, friend Xu Daoist...” But before she could finish, Xu Ziqing interrupted, “Let’s split up and save our lives. Xu Ziqing will always remember the kindness of the two fellow cultivators.”

This time, he didn’t wait for the sisters’ response. His figure flickered, and he swiftly vanished into the forest.

Realizing his departure, the Gui Yin-Yang sisters attempted to track his whereabouts, but he eluded their search effortlessly. No matter how diligently they examined the area, there was no trace of him.

At that moment, a gust of wind infused with monstrous energy rushed towards them—a raging monster ape! Its presence was so overwhelming that even the surrounding trees bowed in reverence, and weaker monsters prostrated themselves on the ground, unwilling to challenge its dominance!

Unable to stand still, the Gui Yin-Yang sisters, with their exceptional evasion skills, swiftly disappeared without a trace.

Just moments after the sisters departed, a colossal monster ape standing five feet tall appeared on the scene.

It possessed a single black horn on its head, its entire body golden and devoid of hair. Yet, the short fur tightly adhered to its ape skin, resembling a solid piece of pure gold—an unbreakable whole!

A fourth-tier monster, the Xuangang Giant Ape!

The monster ape’s eyes were crimson, and the aura emanating from its body was so potent that it seemed tangible.

Upon seeing the lifeless body of the Vajra giant ape, it rushed over and cradled it in its arms, crying out in anguish, “My grandson—”

For the Xuangang giant ape, this third-tier Vajra giant ape was its most outstanding descendant, capable of succeeding in its position and advancing to a fourth-tier monster. It was also recognized as the patriarch of the Iron Skin ape clan—an immensely important figure.

Thus, when the cub encountered danger, the Xuangang giant ape sensed it but didn’t pay it much heed, allowing the Vajra giant ape to lead the ape clan in condemning it. However, when the Vajra giant ape faced trouble, terror seized the Xuangang giant ape, and overwhelmed by intense emotions, its demonic energy ran amok, nearly driving it mad!

With an eruption of soaring killing intent, the Xuangang giant ape opened its mouth and devoured the Vajra giant ape’s corpse.

Bitterly, it vowed, “My dear grandson, Grandpa will make that immortal cultivator pay for taking your life!”

Narrowing its eyes, the Xuangang giant ape twitched its nose and carefully discerned the scent. It then dashed in the direction where Xu Ziqing had fled.
