Chapter 388 A Blood Case Triggered by a Sword

Qingyun Gang.

One of the high-level powers in Geshan City, its disciples take pride in being part of the Qingyun Gang.

After all, being qualified to join a high-level gang is inherently a glorious achievement.

Moreover, with such a powerful backing, both their personal safety and future development would be exceptionally promising.

Today, the Qingyun Gang leader was in good spirits and personally guided the cultivation of the inner elite disciples.

This sent the elite disciples into a frenzy of excitement!

The opportunity to be personally instructed by the Gang Leader was exceedingly rare!

Listening to the Gang Leader's cultivation insights was like a sudden enlightenment!

Without exaggeration,

These insights could save them hundreds of years of detours!

"From now on, when you cultivate..."

Mid-sentence, the Gang Leader suddenly stopped.

The disciples were bewildered, unsure of what was happening.

The other elders present also changed their expressions abruptly!

They all looked in one direction in unison!

It was from that direction.

A strong energy fluctuation suddenly emanated!

Something valuable was about to appear!

Something they would call "valuable" would certainly not be of low quality.

Similarly,

Since they could sense it, those of the same realm as them could no doubt feel it too.

At this moment,

The leaders and elders of many high-level powers in Geshan City all focused their gazes on the Monster Beast Forest!

There was no need for further discussion at this time; they prepared briefly and set off.

Instantly, Geshan City was in turmoil!

Countless powerful figures soared through the air, all converging in one direction!

This sent the "newbies" on the ground shrinking their necks in fear.

Their instincts told them that something big was about to happen in Geshan City!

Not long after, these powerful figures began to encounter each other.

Those who were familiar greeted each other warmly or gathered to chat.

Their attitudes were incredibly friendly, and their conversations were remarkably harmonious.

However, they all knew that this was merely a temporary illusion.

Once they reached their destination, it would be time for conflict!

Soon, these cultivators arrived outside the Monster Beast Forest.

They could clearly feel a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation emanating from not far within.

It was undoubtedly the very thing they had sensed earlier!

A thought stirred in everyone's minds.

Judging by the distance, the location of the item was still within the outer reaches of the Monster Beast Forest.

This was good news!

After all, the monsters in the outer regions were like weaklings, and there was no need to worry about any formidable beings suddenly appearing.

The only remaining threat was...

With this thought, they exchanged glances.

Then, they proceeded into the forest, maintaining distance and moving in groups based on their affiliations.

Although the treasure was within reach, it was not advisable to act without understanding the full situation.

What if something went wrong and the treasure benefited others for nothing?

The closer they got, the more vigilant they became.

They stopped flying and proceeded on foot, weapons clutched tightly.

Combat could erupt at any moment, and absolute vigilance was required at all times!

A quarter of an hour later.

They finally reached their target location.

The Purple-Backed Vajra Apes, which had been frolicking wildly moments before, instantly fell silent.

They all turned around, their eyes fixed intently on the two-legged creatures.

In their eyes...

Flashed a glint of excitement!

The human cultivators were stunned...

"What?

This is the outermost part of the Monster Beast Forest!

Why would Purple-Backed Vajra Apes be here?

Although these creatures tend to wander around randomly, for them to travel from the central region of the Monster Beast Forest to the outskirts is a bit too far-fetched, isn't it?"

...

Immediately, some unpleasant memories surfaced in many minds...

Clutching their pants tightly with their left hands, their legs trembled uncontrollably...

"I didn't expect Purple-Backed Vajra Apes to appear here," the leaders of several factions communicated telepathically, "This is getting a bit tricky..."

Although their respective factions weren't particularly afraid of Purple-Backed Vajra Apes, the problem was the danger to their subordinates.

While Purple-Backed Vajra Apes didn't kill people as readily as other monsters, their playful antics could be quite troublesome.

Yes, they didn't kill people.

But they could drive you to your absolute limit!

This was not an exaggeration, as there were vivid examples before their eyes!

In the past, many unfortunate cultivators in Geshan City had encountered Purple-Backed Vajra Apes.

They returned alive, but their minds were completely shattered.

They were in a state of being utterly "played out"...

Afterward, they lived in a daze, completely becoming useless individuals...

At once, these leaders issued orders to their subordinates.

"All those below the eighth level of the Void Refining realm, withdraw from the Monster Beast Forest immediately!"

The subordinates below the eighth level of the Void Refining realm breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great!

If we were to be socially ruined today, we might as well be dead..."

Then, these subordinates turned and fled towards the outside of the forest without looking back.

It's not that we're scared or cowardly.

Obeying the boss's orders is the basic quality of a qualified subordinate!

Seeing these toys about to escape, the Purple-Backed Vajra Apes became agitated!

"Roar, roar, roar—!"

"Bang, bang, bang—!"

The leader of the Purple-Backed Vajra Apes let out a strange cry and beat its chest, emitting a powerful pressure!

Although this tribe wasn't particularly serious, their pressure attacks were undeniable!

The fleeing subordinates immediately stiffened...

They couldn't move...

"Everyone!" a Gang Leader pointed at the Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King, "What he's holding should be the thing we're looking for. How about we join forces to take down this beast first, and then make plans?!"

The sharp appearance of Frostmourne had naturally caught their attention long ago.

And the dense spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from its blade made their mouths water!

"Let's do it!"

Several other Gang Leaders echoed, and then raised their hands to launch their attacks!

"Swish, swish, swish—!"

Several spells of various colors shot towards the Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King!

The aura emanating from these spells was no weaker than its pressure, and they even tore through the demonic energy pressure along the way!

"Roar—!"

The Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King roared, and actually charged out, facing the sky full of spells!

It had to be said that they were indeed a species with poor intelligence.

If it were any other monster beast, facing so many attacks no weaker than its own, it certainly wouldn't be so reckless.

But the Purple-Backed Vajra Apes were different!

Fighting?

I like it the most!

Retreat?

Non-existent!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—!"

The spells in the sky all struck the Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King's massive body!

The resulting dust instantly engulfed its towering figure!

Several leaders rejoiced in their hearts!

This beast is truly brainless!

This time, we're sure to win!

However...

After the smoke cleared, they discovered in horror that the Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King was charging towards them with undiminished speed!

Let alone being injured, not a single hair had fallen!

This was impossible!

They had encountered Purple-Backed Vajra Apes before, and their defense could never have been this strong!

Soon, they discovered the problem!

The Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King's eyes flashed with an eerie red light, and its body was somehow covered in a layer of pale blue ice crystals!

There was no doubt that the Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King's extraordinary resilience was definitely related to this red light and ice crystals!

The several Gang Leaders exchanged glances and launched their attacks again!

Previously, due to their ulterior motives, they hadn't used their full strength when attacking.

Now that the situation was urgent, they could no longer hold back!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—!"

The spells once again slammed heavily onto the Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King's body.

But this time, not only did they not stir up any dust, but they didn't even cause the beast to pause for a single moment...

It was clear that the Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King's strength was abnormally strong!

When they realized they were in trouble and prepared to tactically retreat, it was already too late...

The towering figure of the Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King, like a mountain of flesh, had already reached them!

Its palms, larger than human heads, swept towards them with the sound of wind!

Have you ever seen a billiards break shot?

The scene at this moment was quite similar to that...

The several Gang Leaders spat blood and were sent flying backward...

A single move, decisive and swift!

"Roar—!"

"Bang, bang, bang—!"

The Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King triumphantly beat its chest and cast a disdainful gaze upon those who had fallen.

A bunch of trash!

"Pfft—!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

These Gang Leaders tumbled several times after falling before stopping, coughing up blood incessantly.

At this moment, they were in despair.

The Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King, despite only having the strength of the Void Refining realm, had somehow batted away these Nascent Soul realm cultivators...

This made no sense in cultivation!

Their worldview had instantly collapsed...

What made them even more despairing was that the Purple-Backed Vajra Ape King, with its subordinates, was now approaching them...
