Mighty Ox King

Zhou Tai saw his weapon destroyed in an instant and immediately let out a roar, simply throwing the shield in his hand.

Then, like a cannonball, he charged straight at Yu Xian with his powerful explosive force.

It had to be said.

This style of fighting put even greater pressure on Yu Xian.

The giant ape was now a pure stat monster. Its strength, speed, and explosive power were all beyond standard. If Yu Xian had not used Blood of Silver to enhance his reactions, he would probably have been smashed to death in a second.

The giant ape radiated intense heat, like a scorching fireball when it drew near. Without the protection of armor, one could be burned by the heat even without being touched.

Whoosh!

Yu Xian fired two silver threads from both hands, wrapping them around a chair behind him and pulling. At the same time, a bubble formed beneath his toes to provide elasticity. He pressed down with his toes, and his body rapidly shot backward.

A massive fist grazed past him. Even through his mask, he could clearly feel the terrifying heat wave.

Boom!

The fist struck the ground, leaving behind a huge crater.

Yu Xian performed a backflip and landed on the backrest of a chair. Before he could catch his breath, the giant ape used the force of that punch to leap at him again, its other arm sweeping horizontally toward Yu Xian.

This sort of straightforward attack most tested one's overall ability. Yu Xian's nerves were taut, and he did not dare relax for even a moment.

He fixed his gaze on Zhou Tai's movements. When Zhou Tai controlled the giant ape's arm to smash down at him, he hurriedly used the elasticity provided by the Blood Energy bubbles to evade.

After missing once, the giant ape immediately grabbed a chair with its other hand and hurled it. Yu Xian was in midair, so he instantly used the silver threads to pull himself into movements he could never normally perform, narrowly dodging the chair's attack.

"So you're just a little fly!"

After a series of attacks, Zhou Tai finally came to his senses.

He realized that Yu Xian was not powerful at all. His appearance merely bluffed people, making him seem mysterious and unfathomable.

Once he had figured that out, Zhou Tai completely unleashed his attacks.

He controlled the giant ape's body to rise from the ground. Its muscles flexed as it charged toward Yu Xian, who had just landed, like a mountain crashing down. If it so much as touched Yu Xian once, he would be smashed to pieces.

Yu Xian retreated again and again, jumping from the stands into the arena, then from the arena back into the stands, constantly shifting and dodging.

Suddenly, both sides stopped and looked toward the ceiling.

Something was falling!

Boom!

A deafening crash rang out.

The ceiling exploded apart.

A five-meter-tall bull-headed giant descended from the sky. After smashing through the ceiling, it landed heavily in the arena like a demon god descending upon the world.

"Interesting. To think you awakened to this degree."

The minotaur glanced at the white ape and spoke in a rough, domineering voice.

In an instant, the urge to retreat arose in Zhou Tai's heart. Compared to Yu Xian, who had only been putting on a show, this minotaur was truly powerful.

But before he could make a move, the minotaur swept its gaze around the arena and said angrily, "But... you deserve to die!"

Boom!

Terrifying black demonic flames rose from the minotaur's body. Before Zhou Tai could even see the minotaur move, his head was chopped off with a single swing of its axe.

Zhou Tai's eyes widened. He could not believe that he had lost so abruptly, so helplessly.

After cleaving off the white ape's head, the minotaur's axe smashed heavily into the ground. The entire arena shook at once, and dense cracks spread from the axe in every direction.

Hiss!

Yu Xian could not help drawing a sharp breath at the sight.

The situation had turned around far too quickly. One moment ago, he had been hunted down; the next, the giant ape was dead.

This was far too powerful.

Worthy of the Mighty Ox King, Silver City's number one expert!

In Silver City, this man was practically a household name. His real name was Tang Dali, and he possessed the bloodline of the Ox Demon King. He was also Silver City's strongest superhuman.

He had many businesses under his name, though he only held shares and never managed them. Clearly, he also had a stake in this arena.

After killing the white ape, Tang Dali's imposing aura immediately receded.

"Thank you, little brother, for holding back that monkey-headed bastard."

"Otherwise, I probably would've lost a fortune this time. Thanks, thank you, truly thank you."

"Do me a favor later and have a meal with me. We can get to know each other properly."

Tang Dali strode quickly over to Yu Xian. Smiling warmly, he grabbed Yu Xian's hand without the slightest air of a powerful expert and repeatedly bowed.

"No need to thank me. I was only doing my duty. Just don't blame me for handling things by the book from here on out."

Yu Xian could not free his right hand from Tang Dali's grip, so he took out his ID with his left. Only after Tang Dali saw it did he awkwardly let go. Yu Xian then took out his phone and summoned the Combat Police to seal off the scene.

After completing the necessary procedures, he put away his phone and immediately condensed Blood Energy. In an instant, a blood-red longsword appeared in his hand.

He slowly walked up to the giant ape's head. Though he was certain there was a Brain-Hugging Neural Worm inside its skull, he had to dissect it and obtain conclusive evidence before he could report it to headquarters.

Tang Dali saw this and did not disturb Yu Xian. Instead, he ran over to Zhang Shou, who was treating the injured, and thanked him repeatedly.

Just as Yu Xian raised his blade to cut open the giant ape's brain, the ape suddenly opened its eyes. Its eyes glared at Yu Xian with hatred. If its throat had not been cut open, it probably would have wanted to say something.

Yu Xian ignored its glare and drove the blade in his hand into the giant ape's brow, then slowly began cutting open its skull.

In truth, the giant ape's bones were extremely hard. Yu Xian had to exert tremendous effort before he could open its skull.

When he saw the giant ape's brain, his eyes suddenly widened. Unlike a normal brain, the grooves in the giant ape's brain had actually formed ancient characters.

"Lin Bing Dou Zhe?"

Yu Xian took a picture of the characters on the brain, guessing silently to himself.

Then he stabbed his blade into the giant ape's brain. The instant he cut through the outer layer, countless nerves suddenly shot out. But he had been prepared and immediately used silver threads to restrain them.

"It really is a Brain-Hugging Neural Worm."

He took photos with his phone and sent them to Jin Sheng, then truthfully described everything that had happened in the arena. Less than ten seconds later, Jin Sheng replied, "Preserve the corpse and wait for support!"

Yu Xian looked at his phone and replied.

Less than a minute later, the Combat Police arrived by car.

In fact, from Zhou Tai's outburst to Tang Dali killing him, the entire process had taken only around three minutes. Everything had happened extremely quickly.

Yu Xian's confrontation with Zhou Tai had delayed him for only a dozen seconds or so. After that, Zhou Tai had been chasing him down and beating him. If Tang Dali had not arrived in time, Yu Xian would have needed to figure out how to flee after holding on for a few more minutes.

The Combat Police had not come because Yu Xian called them. They had already been on their way after the fleeing spectators called the police.

After Yu Xian met the team leader and showed his ID, he had the leader seal off the entire arena and forbid anyone from entering or leaving.

With Zhang Shou there, anyone who could be saved would certainly be saved. Those who could not be saved had no need for emergency treatment.

Therefore, when the ambulances arrived, the Combat Police asked them to wait off to the side.

Finally, around half an hour later, a streak of golden light flew down from the sky, entering the arena through the hole Tang Dali had smashed in the ceiling.

"Hello, I'm a member of the Qilin support department, codename Aether. Here is my identification."

The golden light landed on the ground. After it dispersed, a young man with a somewhat cynical appearance appeared before everyone.

He walked up to Yu Xian and, after introducing himself, took out his ID.

Yu Xian scanned the ID with the Qilin App on his phone. After confirming its authenticity, he nodded. "Hello. I'm a member of the Demon-Slaying Squad, codename Salty Fish. This giant ape and the Brain-Hugging Neural Worm are now officially being handed over to you. Please make sure they reach headquarters."

"Don't worry. Nothing will go wrong!" Aether said with a grin, patting his chest.

Then he looked at the giant ape's body and flicked his sleeve. The enormous corpse immediately vanished. Next, he took out a box, placed the Brain-Hugging Neural Worm inside, and finally tucked the box into his sleeve.

"Universe Within the Sleeve?" Yu Xian asked curiously as he watched Aether's movements.

Aether immediately said awkwardly, "Universe Within the Sleeve is a great divine ability. I merely sewed storage bags into my sleeves."

As he spoke, he raised his sleeve. Sure enough, several storage bags had been sewn inside it.

"Alright, I should head back and report in. Goodbye!"

Perhaps feeling embarrassed, Aether hurriedly said his goodbyes. Golden light enveloped his body, and he instantly soared into the sky, quickly vanishing through the hole in the ceiling.
