Chapter 40: The Chase
The other masters also locked the ape spirit at the moment when he took out the mountain opening axe, even the Buddhist disciples who had already gone away were no exception, and immediately these people gave up the battle and turned around to chase the ape spirit. However, the battle did not end there, there were too many casualties now, some people died of friends, some of them died of relatives, in short, in order to avenge them, they also forgot their original purpose, and now they only want to kill their enemies.
The ape spirit turned the variety into a shoe, and ran wildly, but it didn't expect that although it was only for a short moment, it was still locked by someone, which made it smile bitterly in its heart, it was really impossible to act quietly in front of the real master, and now it just wanted to be able to escape. Thinking of this, he suddenly began to accelerate, this time he used all his strength, the speed increased by one layer, and the silver light that was originally connected became intermittent, leaving only one afterimage after another, each of which was dozens of meters apart, which showed what kind of state its speed had reached.
Originally, the speed of the variety into wings would be faster, but that was in the air, and the target flying in the air was too big, if he encountered other cultivators blocking the way on the way, then he really couldn't escape, on the contrary, there were dense leaves in the woods to cover it, plus it was a monkey, it liked to swing around in the trees, and the speed did not slow down in the slightest, and it was better to use shoes in such a densely wooded place.
The cultivators who pursued it looked at the afterimages along the way, and they were surprised in their hearts, it was hard to imagine that a demon clan in the Bone Forging Stage would have this kind of speed, or a monkey who was not good at running, which made them make up their minds in their hearts that they must not let this monkey run. Now their purpose is not for the reward of Xuanjizi, but the spirit treasure breath they just felt, this is something better than the heaven-level magic weapon, how can they not be tempted.
The demon power in the ape spirit's body was rapidly consumed under the full speed of running, and the primordial spirit locked on his body did not disappear, and the sound of the flying sword breaking through the air could gradually be heard behind him, and his heart was becoming more and more anxious. He knew that it would be a matter of time before he was caught, and that it would be all over.
At this time, it saw the space ring in its hand, and suddenly remembered the words of the great demon five years ago, and understood that if it was really caught, the ten thousand years that the old demon had worked so hard to save would continue to fall into the hands of the cultivator, which was not what it wanted to see.
So he took advantage of the fact that the cultivators had not yet rushed over, it hurriedly moved most of the treasures in the space ring to another space ring, hunted a lot of cultivators before, what he didn't lack now was the space ring, after dividing the things inside, it summoned the doppelganger, handed the space ring to it, let the doppelganger return to the cave, and at the same time brought a letter to his little brother.
After the doppelganger got the ring, he quietly escaped from the side, and the ape spirit looked at the space ring of the old demon, which was always given, and it was reluctant, so it just divided the contents into another ring, and then turned his heart horizontally, opened his mouth and swallowed the space ring.
However, what made him feel was that the space ring did not enter his stomach after swallowing it, but came to the side of the demon pill, floating quietly.
The ape spirit didn't know why this was happening, but it didn't have time to think about it so much now, the cultivator behind it was already about to catch up, and now all it had to do was run wildly.
Slowly, its breathing began to become heavier, and its speed slowly slowed down, and the demon power in the demon pill had been consumed by more than half, and the cultivator behind it was also slowly closing the distance between the two, and it was only a matter of time before it was caught.
Chi Yan was a thousand meters away from the ape spirit, because he was the first cultivator to start pursuing, so there was a distance from other cultivators, as for Helian Zhu who was chasing behind him, he was not interested at all, but unfortunately that guy was crazy and bit himself, which made him unhappy and planned to put an end to future troubles. So the body that rushed forward suddenly stopped, turned around and flew backwards, and at the same time there was a soul snatcher in his hand, Helian Zhu was only a hundred meters away from him, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Helian Zhu, and the soul snatcher in his hand was aimed at the throat and stabbed straight up.
Helian Zhu kept an eye on Chi Yan, and when he found him stop, he knew what the other party wanted to do, Zhen Yuan was transferred, but unfortunately he had already been injured once before, so calling Zhen Yuan would immediately make him spit out two mouthfuls of blood, but he didn't care, the strong hatred had blinded his eyes. He didn't even feel the fleeting aura of the spirit treasure just now.
Seeing that the soul snatching in Chi Yan's hand was pointed straight at his throat, a crazy look flashed in his eyes, and he didn't even need to flash, the ancient sword in his hand let out a crisp chirp, emitting a dazzling blue light directly towards Chi Yan's chest.
What he was most afraid of was this kind of deathless, Chi Yan didn't expect that the other party would want to die with him, and scolded in his heart, but it was a pity that Helianzhu's Yuan Shen locked him, coupled with that indomitable momentum, he felt the threat of his life, and finally had to give up the idea of killing Helianzhu with one blow, but avoided it sideways, which also made the soul snatcher slightly deviate, and slashed past Helianzhu's neck, leaving a five-centimeter sword mark.
And Helian Zhu's attack failed to kill Chi Yan, the ancient sword stabbed into Chi Yan's arm, and blood splattered, making Chi Yan frown slightly. Glancing at the ancient sword inserted in his arm, a crazy look flashed in his eyes, and he directly grabbed the ancient sword body with his hand, and at the same time held the soul snatcher in his backhand, his arm was close to the side of the sword body, and at the same time, his waist was twisted, and the tip of the sword slashed towards Helian Zhu's neck again.
Helian Zhu saw Chi Yan grabbing the ancient sword, he was disdainful, no matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to block the power of the magic weapon with his physical body, and just wanted to use the sword to directly cut off Chi Yan's arm, but he found that the ancient sword did not move at all, which made him feel shocked, so he paused for a second, but unfortunately the master duel could make a lot of things happen in one second.
Chi Yan's soul snatching slashed mercilessly through Helian Zhu's neck, he has always killed people so simply, he can kill with one sword, and he will never use a second sword.
After killing Helian Zhu, he collected the ancient sword and space ring inserted in his arm, and turned his head to chase after the ape spirit, and the battle took less than a minute from the beginning to the end, which he could still afford to consume.
After feeling the other cultivators chasing after him, Chi Yan understood that if he continued to procrastinate, he would definitely let the others catch up, so he didn't keep it anymore, and his speed increased to the fastest, but he left an afterimage in the same place, and it was not until more than a minute later that the afterimage gradually disappeared.
The running ape spirit immediately felt that the first cultivator who locked on himself came at an extremely fast speed, and he was shocked, and he couldn't care so much, and he turned into wings and rushed out of the woods directly and flew into the air, and after stretching, the huge wings that were three meters long shook up, and the speed increased again, and it was on par with the speed of Chi Yan's pursuit.
Chi Yan had been locking on to the ape spirit, and naturally understood that the ape spirit was flying high in the air, but before he could think about what was going on, he found that the speed of the ape spirit had increased sharply, so fast that it was the same as the speed he was chasing, so that the distance between the two remained at about a thousand meters.
Not only Chi Yan, but also the cultivators chasing behind him all discovered this fact, and they were surprised in their hearts, the only ones who can shorten the distance with the ape spirit now are the two people in the Buddhist sect, they are masters of the out-of-body period, no matter how fast the ape spirit is, it is not faster than the two of them, but these two people can't catch up with the ape spirit for a while.
The ape spirit has no idea in his heart now, the only thing he can do now is to run at full speed, but unfortunately although the speed has increased after the variety has become wings, the speed of the demon power consumption in the body has also become faster, it has almost consumed three-quarters, and the remaining demon power can only last until it flies for a meal, and then he can only be caught up by the cultivators behind him, and then he will not be able to fight against the group of Yuan Infant cultivators without demon power.
At the moment, he couldn't care so much, he took out a bottle of pill from a space ring, which was snatched from the cultivator's hand, and he didn't know what it did, he poured it directly into his mouth, and more than twenty pills of pills in it were eaten by him, and suddenly a hot current came out of his stomach, but before the ape spirit could enjoy the warmth brought by this hot current, the warm current became violent, as if a volcano erupted, and a strong pain came out of his stomach, making him scream, and the flying body fell straight down.
Looking at the ground that was getting closer and closer, the ape spirit gritted its teeth, its wings fluttered, and it flew back into the air with a whirlwind, and at the same time urged the demon pill to try to absorb the aura contained in the pill, but it just ate too much pill in a hurry, so that the demon pill could not be absorbed at the first time, although half of the aura has been absorbed and transformed into demon power, but the rest of the aura is still raging in the body, making the ape spirit very painful.
Immediately, it began to cultivate the Golden Muscle Jade Bone Technique again, but fortunately, as soon as the magic method used the remaining aura, it was immediately absorbed by the bones on its body, and the demonic power recovered most of it after absorbing the previous half of the aura, allowing it to hold on for a little longer, and the speed that had slowed down slightly increased again.
This made the cultivators chasing behind him begin to complain, although they were masters of the Yuan Infant Stage, it did not mean that their True Yuan was endless, and flying at high speed would still consume their True Yuan, and gradually Chi Yan felt that his True Yuan was somewhat insufficient. Originally, when he noticed that the speed of the ape spirit had slowed down, he was overjoyed, and he understood that the monkey's demonic power was estimated to be about to run out, but he didn't expect that its speed would immediately increase again, which made him curse in his heart, and the other cultivators who were chasing after him also had this mentality.
There was no way for Chi Yan to take out a bottle of pills, but he didn't eat them all in one go like the ape spirit, but only took out two pills and swallowed them, and immediately the original consumed true yuan was replenished, and the speed remained the same as chasing towards the ape spirit, secretly ruthless in his heart, as long as he was caught, he would definitely peel the skin and bones of the other party.
In this way, the ape spirit took several masters behind him and started the chase battle, as long as the demon power was a little depleted, he immediately swallowed the pill to replenish the demon power, anyway, these things were snatched from the hands of the cultivators, and it didn't feel distressed when it ate it. But the cultivators behind him were different, those pills were all collected by them with hard work, and every pill they ate would make them feel distressed, but when they thought that as long as they caught the ape spirit, they could get a spirit treasure, and they gave up the little reluctance in their hearts. Compared with Lingbao, they can still afford to use this elixir.
