This baboon was powerful. By Li Qingyue's judgment, it might already have reached the Soul King level.
It might even have reached the peak of that level, making it a formidable presence within the entire Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.
Facing such a powerful soul beast, Li Qingyue's gaze grew more solemn.
But seeing Li Qingyue dare to charge toward it, the enormous baboon sprang into the sky before he could do anything else.
Its body shot forward, and its huge, palm-leaf-fan-sized hand swung straight at Li Qingyue.
As he watched it rapidly approach, Li Qingyue's third soul ring lit up, and he abruptly teleported forward.
Then he raised the Longbow in his hand, drew it, and nocked an arrow.
A streaking arrow of light shot forth, its terrifying power piercing outward as it struck the baboon.
It punched a hole through the baboon's body, but did not fully detonate.
The baboon's defenses were powerful. To Li Qingyue's surprise, it actually blocked the terrifying destructive force unleashed when the arrow of light shattered.
Normally, that should have effectively hindered its recovery, yet the wounds on the baboon's body continued to heal little by little.

Under normal circumstances, victory was almost impossible for Li Qingyue.
Feeling the immense power radiating from the soul beast, Li Qingyue's brows knitted tighter and tighter.

At the same time, he activated Rainbowlight Instant Flash repeatedly, fleeing into the distance without a moment's pause.
He was not someone who charged blindly ahead. If
