Battle Against the Raging Giant Ape!

"What a savage Magical Beast. No wonder it's a Raging Giant Ape!"

At this moment, Flowing Cloud stood more than a hundred meters away from the Raging Giant Ape.

Even so, he could still smell the pungent stench of blood emanating from the Raging Giant Ape before him.

"Terrifying!"

Flowing Cloud's heart tightened, and he became wary.

The Raging Giant Ape before him had likely reached the level of a mid-tier third-tier Magical Beast.

Such strength made it the strongest Magical Beast Flowing Cloud had encountered so far.

"Fight or not?"

Watching the Raging Giant Ape continue to roar, Flowing Cloud hesitated.

He had no ties whatsoever to the human trapped in the crevice. There was no need for him to fight such a powerful Magical Beast as the Raging Giant Ape for her sake.

But just as he was hesitating, a bone-piercing glint suddenly shot toward him.

Flowing Cloud's heart skipped a beat. He immediately looked toward the Raging Giant Ape, only to meet a pair of enormous pupils gleaming with bloodthirsty light.

"Looks like this bloody battle can't be avoided..."

Sensing the killing intent filling the Raging Giant Ape's eyes, Flowing Cloud nodded helplessly.

He could not help but marvel inwardly. As expected of a third-tier Magical Beast—its senses were truly terrifying.

Since that was the case, he could only fight!

In an instant, a surging battle intent rose from Flowing Cloud.

With his strength, he was not about to retreat without fighting!

Meanwhile, inside the crevice, the White-Clad Maiden held her head and hid against the mountain wall. Everything had suddenly gone quiet, and the monster outside seemed to have stopped making noise.

"Has the monster left?" With a trace of hope in her heart, the White-Clad Maiden cautiously moved toward the crevice's exit.

Roar!

But at that moment, the monster's roar rang out again. The White-Clad Maiden's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly retreated.

At the same time, seeing that the Raging Giant Ape had already discovered him, Flowing Cloud stopped hiding and stepped out directly.

The Raging Giant Ape's enormous crimson eyes locked tightly onto the appearing Flowing Cloud, icy light flashing within them.

Under that crimson gaze, Flowing Cloud actually felt as though he could barely breathe.

This damned pressure!

Looking at the Raging Giant Ape's thick hide and sturdy flesh, Flowing Cloud felt at a loss for where to strike.

When I get back this time, I must learn a Sword Skill Technique.

The bloody battles of the past few days had also revealed his shortcomings.

He still lacked a sharp divine weapon.

When facing Magical Beasts with thick hides and sturdy flesh, fighting them head-on was simply too disadvantageous.

If he knew a Sword Skill Technique or a Blade Technique, and had a sharp Demonic Core Weapon as well, battles would definitely become much easier.

Why not test the power of the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf's Wolf Claw? Looking at the Raging Giant Ape before him, an idea surfaced in Flowing Cloud's mind.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf's claws might be able to break through this giant's defenses.

With a thought, a bloodthirsty glint flashed through Flowing Cloud's eyes. He directly activated the blood aperture within his body, and his palms gradually transformed into a pair of Wolf Claws.

As he activated the power of the blood aperture within him, a bloodthirsty aura also spread from Flowing Cloud's body.

Bang!

Sensing the change in Flowing Cloud's aura, the Raging Giant Ape seemed to be provoked. It let out a deafening roar, and its enormous body lunged at Flowing Cloud like a cannonball.

The ground shook, and the towering trees along its path swayed in waves.

Seeing this, surprise flashed through Flowing Cloud's eyes. That Raging Giant Ape looked huge, but it was actually this fast.

It truly was a troublesome opponent.

In the blink of an eye, the Raging Giant Ape appeared before Flowing Cloud. Its broad foot stomped down, and its speed suddenly increased as it lunged at him.

Roar!

The Raging Giant Ape immediately opened its cavernous maw, unleashing a roar like ten thousand thunderclaps that shook the air violently.

Countless leaves rustled down from the sky.

At that moment, Flowing Cloud felt as though his ears were about to go deaf.

Crack! Crack!

Amid the swirling fallen leaves, an incomparably sharp giant palm tore through the air and came crashing toward Flowing Cloud.

Feeling the pressure brought by the Raging Giant Ape's massive palm, gravity flashed through Flowing Cloud's eyes.

If he took that strike head-on, he would likely die without question.

Naturally, Flowing Cloud would not sit and wait for death. He stomped hard, and his figure vanished from where he stood.

A streak of cold light burst forth like scattered stars in the night sky.

Phantoms flickered as Flowing Cloud split into more than a dozen afterimages, rushing straight at the Raging Giant Ape.

After all the bloody battles of this period, Flowing Cloud's mastery of the first stage of Demonic Shadow Tracing, Clone Demonic Shadow, had reached a consummate level.

With a casual step, more than a dozen afterimages would appear, instantly confusing the Raging Giant Ape.

As the phantoms flickered, Flowing Cloud's sharp Wolf Claws had already struck the giant ape's body.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A series of sparks burst through the air, accompanied by the thunderous clash of metal.

Flowing Cloud's expression darkened. This giant's defenses were even stronger than he had imagined.

Its seemingly soft fur was actually as tough as metal.

What a troublesome beast!

I refuse to believe you have no weakness!

A ruthless glint flashed through his eyes. Flowing Cloud moved his feet and rapidly closed in on the Raging Giant Ape. Streaks of cold light flashed as the Wolf Claws in his hands came crashing down.

Clang!

The piercing sounds grew increasingly intense. Flowing Cloud's movements were incredibly fast, and claw marks struck the same spot on the giant ape's body again and again.

Within a short time, Flowing Cloud unleashed dozens of attacks. Only when he saw a trace of blood staining his Wolf Claws did he stop.

"There's a chance."

The Raging Giant Ape looked at the wound on its shoulder, its enormous pupils revealing icy light.

Clearly, having been injured, it was now consumed by towering fury.

As the ruler of this region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, when had the Raging Giant Ape ever suffered such humiliation?

Roar!

With an enraged roar, the Raging Giant Ape suddenly opened its mouth wide. A howl powerful enough to shatter mountain rocks surged forth with terrifying ferocity.

Clang!

Flowing Cloud's figure visibly faltered, and his expression changed slightly.

Enduring the impact of that roar, Flowing Cloud felt as if he were caught in a violent storm. A wave of dizziness even flashed through his mind.

At that very instant, the giant ape's enormous body charged forward. Its huge arms swept out, snapping trees in half and sending them crashing to the ground.

Flowing Cloud held no advantage whatsoever in strength, so he stepped with strange footwork and leaped away as swiftly as a fleeting ray of light.

At the same time, Flowing Cloud swung his Wolf Claws and struck furiously at the giant ape.

A fierce roar erupted as the giant ape dragged a blurred afterimage behind it. The forest shook violently as it erupted with an overwhelming momentum, its rippling muscles brimming with unparalleled explosive power as it rammed into Flowing Cloud in the simplest manner possible.

Its sharp claws viciously struck toward Flowing Cloud's head, endless killing intent filling its crimson eyes as its bloody maw opened once more.

Roar!

The Wolf Claws swiftly drew together. Flowing Cloud's gaze was like lightning as his arm shook, and his sharp Wolf Claws collided head-on with the giant ape's claws.

A vast force like a falling galaxy erupted completely. The fierce Wolf Claws poured down like surging river waves.

Leaves flew wildly through the air.

As the sound of clashing metal rang out, Flowing Cloud felt his right arm go numb, and the Wolf Claws on his hand were immediately knocked aside.

The next moment, a sharp claw gleaming with cold light appeared strangely before Flowing Cloud. The terrifying force radiating from it made his cheek ache faintly.

Fearless!

Having been tempered through more than a dozen bloody battles, Flowing Cloud's reactions had become incomparably swift.

At the instant the claw was about to fall, Flowing Cloud directly unleashed Clone Demonic Shadow, splitting into several phantoms and easily evading the fatal blow.

Faintly, Flowing Cloud's understanding of Demonic Shadow Tracing, this Movement Technique, deepened further.
