#168 - Chapter 167: The Golden Ape Shows Its Might (for the book friend "The Sparrow Who Likes

The Fire Crow Taoist possessed dual fire and wood spiritual roots. Although he primarily cultivated fire techniques, he could also wield wood-attribute magical treasures. Therefore, while closely pursuing the late-stage Core Formation demonic red hound on his sword, he also manipulated a wood-attribute flying sword to incessantly attack it.

The red hound had thick skin and flesh and wasn't afraid of ordinary flying swords or magical treasures. However, the Fire Crow Taoist's wood-attribute flying sword had an extremely potent ability: it could generate a type of wood poison. This poison, like smoke and dust, could enter from the pores of demonic beasts or cultivators, seeping into their muscles and causing their physical strength to be consumed exponentially. Moreover, the more excited the fleshly body was, the easier it was for the poison to seep in.

This late-stage Core Formation red hound was repeatedly attacked by the Fire Crow Taoist. Although it only suffered some superficial wounds, it was enraged. Thus, it exerted more force, increasing its running speed by twenty percent, attempting to shake him off.

The Fire Crow Taoist was naturally delighted by this and immediately increased the speed of his flying sword, still closely following behind it. The wood-attribute magic sword then struck the red hound again and again.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the red hound felt its physical strength rapidly decline, and its escape speed became unsustainable, slowing down imperceptibly.

The red hound sensed the anomaly and refused to run any longer. It immediately roared towards the sky and stopped to focus on dealing with the flying sword. Seeing this, the Fire Crow Taoist put away his playful intentions and concentrated his divine sense to control the sword, engaging in a close fight with it.

After a dozen or so breaths, Ape Thirteen arrived on his flying sword, directly wielding his Chaos Sky Cudgel and smashing it down from the air. Seeing that Ape Thirteen's cudgel was like the sky splitting open, with power capable of shattering the earth, the red hound didn't dare to block it head-on, retreated a few steps, and dodged the attack.

The last time Ape Thirteen fought Fire Cloud Supreme, he never engaged in close combat from beginning to end, but instead suffered countless heavy blows from the opponent, leaving him feeling very frustrated. This time, seeing that the red hound was no longer fleeing, he was extremely excited, roared fiercely, and wielded his long cudgel to fight with the beast.

The Fire Crow Taoist, worried about accidentally injuring Ape Thirteen, put away his flying sword and re-summoned his natal magic treasure, the Xuan Tian Grand Calabash, hovering it high above his head, ready to release fire crows to assist in case of any unforeseen events.

Ape Thirteen was immensely strong, and his Chaos Sky Cudgel was powerful and heavy. As he unleashed a set of Vajra Subduing Demon Cudgel techniques, the red hound repeatedly dodged. When it was accidentally hit a few times, its skin immediately split open, and blood flowed freely. The red hound roared repeatedly, but it didn't use any powerful innate abilities.

After another dozen or so breaths, the other two red hounds arrived, with Ape Twelve and the Azure-Eyed Suanni beast closely following behind. One of the red hounds rushed towards the Fire Crow Taoist in the sky, controlling the air. The remaining one engaged in a fight with Ape Twelve and the Azure-Eyed Suanni beast.

According to the agreed-upon tactics, Ape Twelve was supposed to work with the Fire Crow Taoist to kill one of the red hounds first. He was much more steady than his grandson, Ape Thirteen, and didn't forget his mission due to the provocation of another mid-stage red hound. He immediately shook off the entanglement of the red hound beside him and controlled the air to chase after the one in the sky.

As a result, the one on the ground also chased after Ape Twelve. Clearly, these two red hounds had received orders from the late-stage red hound to entangle the Fire Crow Taoist at all costs.

The Fire Crow Taoist naturally understood their intentions and immediately reminded Ape Thirteen in a loud voice, "Ape Fellow Daoist, be careful of the late-stage red hound's Hellfire!" Of course, he also meant to remind the Azure-Eyed Suanni beast to observe the late-stage red hound.

As soon as he finished speaking, the late-stage Core Formation red hound suddenly took a step back, opened its mouth towards the frenzied Ape Thirteen, and spat out a ball of bright red flames, enveloping Ape Thirteen's body. The fire instantly surged, the color turning dark red, and burned fiercely.

Golden light automatically flashed on Ape Thirteen's body, resisting the burning of the flames. His cudgel techniques didn't stop, and he continued to chop, smash, and pick at the red hound, unaffected by the flames.

The red hound was stunned, completely unexpected this result. It was immediately hit by another cudgel, and its ten-foot-long body flew horizontally for dozens of feet, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times before standing up. It roared angrily and spat another stream of fire at the charging Ape Thirteen, like a waterfall flying horizontally, hitting Ape Thirteen's chest.

Ape Thirteen roared loudly, protecting his body with golden light, and then swung his long cudgel to shatter the stream of fire. Sparks flew everywhere, scattering among the grass. He was still unharmed, rushed forward a few steps, and the shadow of his cudgel enveloped the red hound again.

The battle situation in the sky was very strange. The Fire Crow Taoist, because fire techniques had limited effect on the red hound, only used flying techniques to circle around with the red hound chasing him, while also using the wood-attribute flying sword to release wood poison and weaken its physical strength.

Ape Twelve's escape technique was poor, and his air control flight wasn't as fast as the mid-stage red hound. Although he wanted to fight it to the death, he couldn't catch up. As for the red hound chasing Ape Twelve, it couldn't catch up either due to the interference of the Azure-Eyed Suanni beast.

After the late-stage Core Formation red hound was entangled by Ape Thirteen, it was hit hard again after dozens of moves, and one of its left forelegs was broken. Thus, it no longer had the means to escape.

This red hound stood on three legs, with one leg bent, its ferocious red face bursting with anger, and its eyes flashing with hatred. It raised its head and let out a mad roar, its whole body flashing with fire, as if its original fiery red fur had all turned into flames. Then, it suddenly lunged forward, actively entangled with Ape Thirteen.

At this time, the Azure-Eyed Suanni beast in the sky cried out "Guā guā", reminding Ape Thirteen that this red hound was about to release a very dangerous innate divine power.

However, Ape Thirteen was delighted that this beast was engaging him in close combat. He didn't take the Azure-Eyed Suanni beast's warning to heart at all, only attacking wildly, never thinking about dodging.

In less than two breaths, the red hound suddenly burst into flames, turning into a huge fireball several feet in diameter, wrapping Ape Thirteen inside, like a prison of flames. From the outside, it was impossible to tell who was who. This fireball was initially crimson in color, but soon turned pale white, looking very frightening.

Ape Thirteen, suddenly caught in this emergency, didn't panic. The golden light on his body flowed, the color slightly dimmed, but it became thicker.

He still firmly locked onto the figure of the late-stage Core Formation demonic red hound, enduring the burning of the flames and the piercing pain, wielding the Chaos Sky Cudgel, chasing the red hound that was escaping in the fire.

Fortunately, the range of this ball of fire wasn't too large. Even with the advantage of the fire escape technique, the red hound was still hit by Ape Thirteen's long cudgel from time to time. However, within this huge flame, the beast's movements were much lighter, and it could skillfully dissipate the force when it was swept by the long cudgel.

The Fire Crow Taoist in the sky was shocked when he saw Ape Thirteen wrapped in the red hound's Hellfire. Most cultivators were careful to guard against this ultimate move of the red hound and would never allow themselves to fall into it. Unless they had techniques or treasures to restrain this fire, death was almost certain.

However, at this time, he couldn't say anything discouraging to shake the morale of the army. He just watched coldly. If something went wrong, he would first protect Zhang Yuanjing and retreat.

As for Ape Twelve, having received the Azure-Eyed Suanni beast's reminder, he wasn't worried at all. The Azure-Eyed Suanni beast had naturally fire eyes and golden pupils. The red hound's Hellfire might be able to isolate ordinary divine sense detection, but it couldn't stop his innate divine power, and he could see the situation inside clearly at a glance.

The battle situation in the sky had changed somewhat under the Fire Crow Taoist's adjustment. Ape Twelve and the Azure-Eyed Suanni beast worked together to besiege the red hound that was chasing it, while the Fire Crow Taoist, while being chased by another red hound, also used his flying sword to attack the red hound that was chasing Ape Twelve. Thus, one person and two beasts worked together to deal with one red hound, quickly injuring it.

Knowing the danger, the beast gave up its air control and landed on the ground. However, Ape Twelve and the Azure-Eyed Suanni beast, having received guidance from the Fire Crow Taoist, didn't chase it, but instead joined forces to deal with the red hound chasing the Fire Crow Taoist.

The red hound on the ground wanted to help the late-stage red hound deal with Ape Thirteen, but couldn't enter the Hellfire. It wanted to help the red hound in the sky, but it was beyond its ability. For a moment, it hesitated, allowing the Fire Crow Taoist and the others to gain the upper hand.

Meanwhile, Ape Thirteen in the Hellfire, surrounded and burned by a terrifying flame, felt no fear, but instead was full of fighting spirit and boiling with enthusiasm. His Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique was strongest when facing strength, and most firm when facing danger. Golden lights intertwined, forming a thick golden cocoon, protecting his whole body. Apart from the physical pain caused by the Nine Revolutions Technique itself, he wasn't harmed by the Hellfire at all. And the physical pain had to be relieved by violently displaying the Vajra Subduing Demon Technique.

Therefore, in the Hellfire, he wielded the Chaos Sky Cudgel even more fiercely and madly, constantly expanding the covered area, compressing the space for the red hound to use its fire escape technique.

The red hound's consumption was getting bigger and bigger, and it gradually became powerless. In the middle, it was swept by the Chaos Sky Cudgel, which weighed tens of thousands of pounds, several times, and was heavily wounded, making its movements more and more sluggish. It knew that it was time to fight desperately, so it took advantage of the moment when it passed Ape Thirteen and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood on him, then turned around and jumped out of the Hellfire.

At the moment it left, the Hellfire, which was several feet in diameter, suddenly shrank, completely enveloping Ape Thirteen. With the help of the red hound's essence blood on his body, it suddenly exploded.

There was a loud "boom", sparks splashed, rubble flew into the sky, and the huge impact overturned the late-stage red hound, which had retreated more than ten feet away, several times, and fell to the ground weakly. And where Ape Thirteen stood, a several-foot-large pit appeared, but the golden giant ape was gone.

The battle in the sky suddenly stopped, and both sides, one person and five beasts, looked at the place of the explosion with suspicion and uncertainty. There, apart from the messy soil, rocks, and trees, there were no remains, nor was there Ape Thirteen's long iron cudgel.

"Roar!" A shrill and manic roar came from the big pit.

Ape Thirteen, with golden light all over his body, jumped out of the big pit like a demon god, wielding the Chaos Sky Cudgel in his hand and smashing it at the red hound more than ten feet away. The late-stage Core Formation demonic red hound tried its best, even detonating the Hellfire it had cultivated for many years, but still failed to subdue its opponent. For a moment, it lost all hope, and was unable to escape. It was immediately smashed in the head by the cudgel and died on the spot.

The other two red hounds were scared out of their wits. The one on the ground ran away, and the manic Ape Thirteen bent the Chaos Sky Cudgel and flicked it at it. The long cudgel was like a blue dragon probing the water, hitting its majestic body and breaking all its bones on the spot, causing it to collapse on the ground.

And the one in the air lost its composure and was also smashed in the head by Ape Twelve, who found an opportunity. Thus, within half a day, the three red hounds that had blocked Ape Twelve and the Azure-Eyed Suanni beast for decades were all eliminated.
