Demon Ape Transformation

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

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

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

"You ignorant kid, and you dare speak such wild boasts!"

At those words, Luo Jiu's expression darkened. With a cold sneer, he suddenly stomped his foot.

Boom!

Dark red Yuan Power erupted like swirling flames. Luo Jiu leaped into mid-air like an eagle swooping down on its prey. His face cold and grim, he fiercely swung the pair of low-grade spiritual treasure hammers in his hands.

Heaven-Shaking Hammer!

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

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

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

Only Jiang Lei and the others from Eagle Martial Arts School, who had witnessed Lin Langtian fight in the Misty Forest before, revealed looks of hope.

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

As more and more enormous Yuan Power hammers floated overhead, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, clenching his right fist, he threw a completely unadorned punch at the massive Yuan Power hammer.

Seeing Lin Langtian act so recklessly, the surrounding passersby were stunned. Some even shut their eyes, unable to bear watching such a cruel sight.

Boom!

Yet unexpectedly, at the instant his fist collided with the massive Yuan Power hammer, a thunderous roar rang out. The one sent flying backward was not Lin Langtian, but Luo Jiu!

"This kid has tremendous strength!"

After retreating dozens of meters in succession, Luo Jiu finally stopped himself. He stared gravely at Lin Langtian and snorted. "Brat, I was careless just now. This hall master will get serious next!"

In Luo Jiu's eyes, Lin Langtian had not even used Yuan Power, so perhaps he merely possessed great physical strength. Once he used his full power, wouldn't killing this kid be effortless?

With that thought, crimson Yuan Power like blazing flames surged explosively from within the body of Luo Jiu. From afar, he looked as though he had been wrapped in rising flames.

Moreover, as his Yuan Power surged forth, Luo Jiu's pupils began to change subtly. A dangerous aura like that of a wild beast seeped from within him strand by strand.

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

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

At that moment, Jiang Lei's shout swiftly reached Lin Langtian's ears.

"Demon Ape Transformation?"

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

Luo Jiu's hands had expanded considerably, veins writhing over them like coiling dragons, brimming with a sense of immense power. Dark red Yuan Power wound around his palms in thin strands, continuously entering and leaving through his pores.

This kind of martial art that amplified one's strength greatly interested him. He was about to hunt the Ancient Dragon Ape anyway, so obtaining this martial art would be quite useful.

"Kid, you should have no regrets even if I kill you, since you forced me to use Demon Ape Transformation!"

Luo Jiu's pupils had changed as well, making him look like a warped demonic ape. He gave Lin Langtian a savage grin, then stomped violently, his body transforming 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 palm, dazzling Yuan Power gathered in the sky and directly formed an almost tangible demonic stele.

The demonic stele floated in mid-air, exuding the steadiness and weight of a mountain. Many people stared in shock, clearly not expecting Lin Langtian to condense such a solid Yuan Power demonic stele.

Boom!

Once the demonic stele formed, Lin Langtian slammed his palm downward. The stele fell from the sky like a mountain, smashing fiercely toward that streak of red light.

"Break!"

Seeing the terrifying demonic stele crashing down and casting a vast shadow, Luo Jiu's expression immediately darkened. A faint sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

Could this kid be pretending to be weak while hiding his true strength?

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

At this point, there was no turning back!

The heavy hammers in his hands swung like Giant Rocks, colliding fiercely with the falling demonic stele.

Great Strength Demonic Ape Hammer!

The red in Luo Jiu's pupils deepened further. A roar almost like an ape's howl suddenly burst from his throat.

Then his body turned into a streak of red light and shot out. The enormous hammer shadow in his hands carried terrifying force, so powerful that even the intangible air scattered before it!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Deafening, earth-shaking crashes erupted across the area. Wave after wave of powerful Yuan Power fluctuations exploded in the sky. The savage collision left many people dumbfounded.

Yet just as everyone thought Luo Jiu's great hammers would shatter the demonic stele, it suddenly emitted a dazzling radiance. At the same time, the Yuan Power fluctuations upon it surged tenfold!

With that sudden change, the demonic stele crashed down in that instant, directly smashing the great hammers apart before striking Luo Jiu's body with lightning speed.

Bang!

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

This revealed a close-fitting inner armor he wore beneath them. Light rippled across the armor—it was also a spiritual treasure.

However, a low-grade spiritual treasure inner armor was clearly unable to withstand such a powerful attack.

Thus, when the force of the demonic stele containing terrifying fluctuations spread out, the glow on the inner armor 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, while even his internal organs were directly shattered. His life hung by a thread!

Victory and defeat had seemingly been decided in a flash. With an almost overwhelming impact, the powerful demonic stele destroyed all of Luo Jiu's attacks and defenses!

Luo Jiu stared fixedly at the Green Shirt Youth in the distance. Before dying, he finally spat out several resentful words.

"It's actually... the Qi Shaping Realm..."
