Demon Ape Transformation

"Kid, why are you meddling in this matter?"

A powerful aura swept through the area. Dark red Yuan Power wrapped around Luo Jiu's body, and an invisible pressure made some of the weaker onlookers struggle to breathe.

"I'll protect Eagle Martial Arts School. If you know what's good for you, leave quietly," the youth said calmly.

"You ignorant brat, and you dare speak such arrogant words!"

At those words, Luo Jiu's face darkened. With a cold sneer, he suddenly stomped forward.

Boom!

Dark red Yuan Power erupted like swirling flames. Luo Jiu leaped into the air like an eagle swooping down on its prey. His face icy, he swung the pair of low-grade Spirit Treasure hammers in his hands.

Heaven-Shattering Hammer!

Vast Yuan Power blasted from Luo Jiu's twin hammers like cannonballs.

Seeing this, the surrounding passersby looked at Lin Langtian with pity.

Daring to anger Luo Jiu in Great Eagle City was simply courting death.

Only Jiang Lei and the other members of Eagle Martial Arts School who had witnessed Lin Langtian fight in Mist Forest showed a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

After all, even the Leopard Crocodile King had been instantly killed by Lin Langtian. Though Luo Jiu was strong, he was only slightly stronger than that Leopard Crocodile King...

As more and more gigantic Yuan Power hammers hovered overhead, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he clenched his right hand and threw a completely unadorned punch at the massive Yuan Power hammer.

Seeing Lin Langtian act so recklessly, the passersby froze. Some even shut their eyes, unable to bear watching the brutal scene.

Boom!

Yet unexpectedly, when the fist collided with the Yuan Power hammer, a thunderous crash rang out. The one sent flying was not Lin Langtian, but Luo Jiu!

"This brat is incredibly strong!"

Luo Jiu retreated dozens of meters before stopping himself. He stared gravely at Lin Langtian, then snorted. "Kid, I was careless just now. This school master is going to get serious now!"

In Luo Jiu's eyes, Lin Langtian had not even used Yuan Power. Perhaps he was merely physically strong. Once Luo Jiu used his full strength, killing this brat would be effortless.

With that thought, crimson Yuan Power like blazing flames surged from Luo Jiu's body like a tide. From afar, he looked as though he had been enveloped in rising flames.

Moreover, as the Yuan Power erupted, Luo Jiu's pupils began to change. An aura as dangerous as that of a wild beast slowly seeped from his body.

At the same time, Luo Jiu's palms slowly expanded, becoming like the massive claws of an ape as they tightly gripped his heavy hammers.

"Young Master Lin Tian, be careful! That fellow is about to use Demon Ape Transformation. It's a high-grade martial art that can greatly increase physical strength for a short time!"

Jiang Lei's shout swiftly reached Lin Langtian's ears.

"Demon Ape Transformation."

Lin Langtian raised a brow and watched Luo Jiu in the distance with interest.

The latter's hands had expanded greatly, veins writhing like coiling dragons and brimming with immense strength. Dark red Yuan Power wound around his palms in strands, constantly flowing in and out through his pores.

This sort of martial art that enhanced one's strength greatly interested him. He was about to hunt the Ancient Dragon Ape, and acquiring this martial art would be quite useful.

"Kid, forcing me to use Demon Ape Transformation means that even if I kill you, you will have no regrets!"

Luo Jiu's pupils had changed. He looked like a transformed demon ape, and a savage smile spread across his lips as he faced Lin Langtian. Then he kicked off the ground, turning into a streak of red light as he shot forward!

"It really has increased quite a bit..."

Lin Langtian smiled. With a grasp of his hand, dazzling Yuan Power gathered in the air and directly formed a Demon Stele that seemed almost solid.

The Demon Stele hovered in the air, exuding the steadiness and weight of a mountain. Many people stared in astonishment, clearly never expecting Lin Langtian to condense Yuan Power into such a solid Demon Stele.

Boom!

Once the Demon Stele formed, Lin Langtian slammed his palm down. The Demon Stele fell from the sky like a mountain peak, smashing fiercely toward the streak of red light.

"Break!"

As Luo Jiu watched the terrifying Demon Stele descend with a vast shadow, his expression immediately darkened. A faint sense of dread rose in his heart.

Could this brat be pretending to be weak to lure out his prey?

As soon as that thought surfaced, Luo Jiu cast it aside. A ruthless glint flashed through his eyes.

At this point, there was no retreating!

The heavy hammers in his hands swung like enormous boulders, crashing fiercely against the descending Demon Stele.

Great Strength Demon Ape Hammer!

The crimson in Luo Jiu's pupils deepened. A sound almost like the roar of an ape suddenly burst from his throat.

Then he turned into a red streak and shot forward. The enormous hammer shadow in his hands carried terrifying force; even the intangible air seemed to flee beneath his hammer!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Deafening explosions erupted across the field. Powerful Yuan Power fluctuations exploded through the sky, and the savage clash left countless spectators dumbfounded.

Yet just as everyone thought Luo Jiu's massive hammers would shatter the Demon Stele, it suddenly emitted a dazzling radiance. At the same time, the Yuan Power fluctuations on the Demon Stele abruptly increased tenfold!

With this sudden change, the Demon Stele crashed down in an instant. It directly shattered the massive hammers and struck Luo Jiu's body with lightning speed.

Bang!

A deep, muffled sound spread through the air. The powerful Yuan Power covering Luo Jiu's body nearly collapsed in an instant, followed immediately by the explosion of his clothes.

A close-fitting inner armor was revealed beneath them. Light rippled across the armor—it too was a Spirit Treasure.

However, a low-grade Spirit Treasure inner armor clearly could not withstand such a powerful attack.

Thus, when the Demon Stele's terrifying force spread through it, the armor's glow rapidly dimmed. Cracks spread across it, and with another bang, it shattered.

Pfft!

With his final defense broken, Luo Jiu's face turned deathly pale in an instant. Blood sprayed wildly from his mouth, and even his internal organs were shattered. He was barely clinging to life!

The victor had seemingly been decided in the blink of an eye. With an almost unstoppable impact, the powerful Demon Stele had destroyed all of Luo Jiu's attacks and defenses!

Luo Jiu stared fixedly at the green-robed youth in the distance. Before dying, he spat out several resentful words.

"It's actually... the Qi Creation Stage..."
