In the center of the canyon, a fierce battle was raging.
A giant ape that was three feet tall and whose entire body seemed to be made of pure golden rock was roaring deafeningly.
Every time it waved its giant arm, which was thicker than a human waist, it would bring up evil winds that tore through the air, and when it hit the ground, there was a huge hole, with golden crystal fragments flying everywhere.
[Vajra Rock Ape], Meridian Opening realm late stage monster, famous for its terrifying defense and great strength.
Besieging this giant ape was a team of five people.
The leader was a woman wearing a light blue dress. She was slim and graceful, but her eyebrows were frowning at the moment, and the hair on her forehead had been soaked with perspiration.
She held a gleaming soft sword in her hand. Movement Method was as nimble as a butterfly piercing a flower. Every time, she swam through the cracks of Vajra Rock Ape's violent attacks. The soft sword in her hand was like a spirit snake spitting out a message, and it was positioned at the vital points of Iwazaru's joints with incomparable precision.
With her cultivation in the middle stage of Meridian Opening, she was actually the main force to contain this late stage Great Demon head-on.
But obviously, the True Qi in her body was consumed a lot, and her breathing was already a little short.
Behind her, the remaining four team members were all male warriors in the early or middle stages of the Meridian Opening realm. Their performance at this moment made Lu Chen on the high cliff flash a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"Beast! Die!" A tall team member shouted loudly, and he slashed out with a thick-backed sword in his hand, slashing Vajra Rock Ape on the thigh.
"Clang!"
There was a crisp sound, just a burst of sparks, leaving a shallow white mark on the golden rock skin.
It seems like they are struggling, but in fact these four people are always on the edge of the battle circle.
The swords in their hands seemed to hit the target with every move, but they always retreated in unison just before Iwazaru was about to counterattack, leaving all the storm-like attack pressure to the blue figure in front.
He works hard but doesn't work hard, and he has evil intentions.
Lu Chen defined this team with just one glance.
His eyes fell on the Vajra Rock Ape.
With the power of the soul at the peak of the Meridian Opening realm, he easily understood the nature of this giant ape.
Although its defenses are as strong as a fortress, they are not invulnerable.
Whenever it waves its giant arms to launch a fierce attack, at the center of its back, there is a diamond-shaped crystal that is slightly darker than the surroundings. It will be exposed for a moment due to the pulling of its muscles.
There is where its Demon Core is, and its only cover.
"These idiots ignore huge flaws and only scratch the outside." Lu Chen snorted in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, like the most patient hunter, he continued to lie dormant, waiting for the best opportunity.
The war situation is developing in the direction he expected.
"What are you waiting for! My True Qi can't hold it any longer!"
Su Qingxue, who had been unable to attack for a long time, had a hint of anxiety and anger in his voice.
She gritted her teeth, obviously preparing to use the Secret Method at the bottom of the box.
She suddenly spun around, and the soft sword in her hand suddenly straightened, like a living silver dragon. At an incredible angle, it instantly wrapped around Vajra Rock Ape's right arm that was about to be smashed down!
"Secret Method·Binding Dragon Rope!"
She let out a sweet cry, and her whole body True Qi was poured into the soft sword without any reservation. The soft sword glowed brightly, locking Iwazaru's giant arm in the air.
She created a golden opportunity for her teammates!
But at the same time, she herself turned pale and staggered because True Qi was momentarily distracted.
"Now! Attack its back!" She shouted with her last strength.
However, when the four team members saw Iwazaru's other violent fist sweeping in with devastating wind pressure, instead of the ecstasy of seizing the opportunity, their eyes flashed with horror and flinching at the same time.
They unexpectedly unanimously chose to retreat to protect themselves again!
They abandoned their captain.
On the high cliff, in Lu Chen's eyes, murderous intent flashed away.
"It's stupid, but it's also... the best opportunity."
Su Qingxue's eyes flashed with deep disappointment and a trace of determination. She was ready to close her eyes and bear this thunderous blow alone.
At this moment, just when Vajra Rock Ape's violent fist wind was about to hit her delicate body--
A black shadow, faster than a shadow and more silent than a ghost, flashed away from the high cliff!
Its goal is not rescue.
Rather, it points directly at Iwazaru's exposed backdoor!
Between lightning and flint!
The speed of the black shadow reached an unnatural level.
The retreating team members in the canyon felt their eyes blurred, as if an illusion had flashed across them.
Su Qingxue, who was about to face death, could not even capture the trajectory of this shadow.
The figure of Lu Chen, as if teleporting, crossed a distance of a hundred feet and appeared silently behind Vajra Rock Ape's thick mountainous back.
The perfect state of <Shadow Demon Trace Steps>, coupled with the power of his soul at the peak of the Meridian Opening state, makes his grasp of timing extremely exquisite!
The moment he appeared, even before the moment he took action, an invisible, needle-like terrifying power shot out from the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows!
Soul Impact!
"Ho...?"
Vajra Rock Ape was about to smash the annoying female creature in front of him into a pulp with one punch, when his huge body suddenly stiffened, and a trace of confusion and sluggishness flashed in his giant copper bell-like eyes.
Its soul felt as if it had been stabbed hard by a hot iron, and the severe pain left its thinking blank for a fraction of a second.
This tenth of a second is an opportunity for Lu Chen!
The short black blade [Shadow] obtained from Judge in his hand was infused with his black True Qi as powerful as a river, and a layer of condensed ink-like halo appeared on the tip of the blade, which seemed to be able to swallow all light.
There is no gorgeous sword light, no earth-shattering momentum.
Only the simplest, fastest and most deadly direct thrust!
Poof!
There was an almost inaudible sound of penetration.
The short blade sank into the dark diamond-shaped crystal at the back center of Vajra Rock Ape without any hindrance and with incomparable precision until it had no handle!
An overbearing force of suppression burst out from the tip of the blade!
That hard Demon Core, together with all the vitality around it, was instantly turned into a cloud of powder under the crazy strangulation of this force!
Vajra Rock Ape's raised fist stopped in front of Su Qingxue, and the wind from the fist made her long hair dance wildly.
The violent and fierce light in its eyes quickly dimmed, replaced by complete silence.
