"S-Senior Brother Liu?!"
Yan Qun'er froze and murmured instinctively.
Though they had not met for nearly a century, she recognized that familiar figure from behind the instant she saw him again.
At that moment, it was just like over two hundred years ago!
Though the danger had yet to pass, with that towering figure standing before her, Yan Qun'er felt her heart settle.
For a moment, her gaze grew dazed. She could scarcely believe what she was seeing, thinking it a hallucination before death.
In that brief lapse, the Golden Jade Ring slipped from her control and lost much of its power, and another, slightly smaller golden giant ape punched it away.
Boom!!!
After knocking the golden ring aside, the golden giant ape, its eyes bloodshot, pushed off with both legs and hurtled toward Yan Qun'er like a bolt of golden lightning.
Its enormous eyes seemed to hold nothing but Yan Qun'er, as though they bore an enmity that could never coexist beneath the same sky, and it swore to kill her.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Its demonic body, more than a hundred feet tall, radiated an overwhelming pressure.
A fierce wind swept along its path, pressing the grass and trees low.
"Oh no!"
Yan Qun'er snapped out of her daze, but in those few distracted moments, the golden giant ape had already charged within half a li. It was too late to mount an effective response.
She had accepted a mission from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and, while the Mountain Giant Ape Tribe's demon cultivators were away, killed many of their young and low-tier demonic apes.
But she had been a little too slow, and the two returning demon cultivators had caught her at the entrance.
Protecting their young was an instinct innate to many living creatures, humans included.
No matter
