The wind from the canyon blew towards my face, carrying the smell of blood.
Jiang Fa was holding the ghost head knife, his legs were still trembling, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the slender black figure in front of him.
The girl in black stood on the bridge with her back to him.
Her figure is not tall, she can even be called petite, her shoulders are no more than two feet wide, and her waist is so slender that it can be broken by a gust of wind.
He was dressed in black, which was blown by the wind in the canyon, and his clothes fluttered, revealing a long black sword at his waist.
But just such a petite figure blew away the huge Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape with one punch.
This scene is really unbelievable.
Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape.
The beast was over a foot tall, covered with black mane like steel needles, its arms were as thick as buckets, and its blood-red eyes glowed fiercely in the dim light.
There is still saliva hanging from the corners of its mouth, its fangs are exposed, and white mist is sprayed out between its breaths.
But at this moment, two words were clearly reflected in those blood-red eyes.
Afraid.
Even fear!
It slowly lowered its upper body, its two forelimbs thicker than a bucket rested on the bridge, its muscles bulged high, and it let out a threatening growl.
The girl in black squinted her eyes and looked at the demon ape for a few times, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly. "What, you're not running away?"
Before she finished speaking, she moved.
As soon as her feet kicked off the bridge, she rushed towards the demon ape like a fired cannonball.
The bluestone slabs stepped on were crushed to pieces, and the gravel shot out in all directions, leaving a series of footprints several inches deep on the bridge.
This rush was faster and more violent than when he swooped down from the cliff just now.
The demon ape roared, raised its right paw as big as a millstone and slapped the girl in black on the head.
When the giant claw passed by, five waves of air were torn out of the air that were visible to the naked eye. The claw wind howled and rolled up all the gravel and dead leaves on the bridge, forming a small whirlwind.
The girl in black did not dodge or evade, and punched out with her right fist from bottom to top.
One punch.
Just one punch.
The fists and claws collided, and a loud bang that was duller than any previous collision exploded in the canyon.
Jiang Fa only saw a wave of air visible to the naked eye erupting from the center of the collision, sweeping in all directions with a devastating force.
Wherever the air wave passed, the stone pillars on the bridge railings were all cut off, and even the shrubs growing on the cliffs on both sides of the bridge were uprooted by the air wave and swept into the depths of the canyon.
He subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes, but he was still shaken by the shock wave and slid back several feet. His back hit the bridge railing before he could barely stabilize his body.
When he put down his arms and looked again, the scene in front of him made his pupils suddenly shrink.
The Peak Second Tier and Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape were knocked back more than a foot by the punch from the girl in black.
Its four sharp claws plowed four shocking grooves on the bridge deck. The gravel continued to fly from the edges of the grooves, and the rammed soil layer inside the bridge could almost be seen in the deepest part.
On the other hand, the girl in black only made two shallow pits on the bridge with her feet, and her body did not move at all.
Transforming Force.
And he is a master among Transforming Force.
Jiang Fa was inexplicably shocked.
"Even if Master takes action, it's nothing more than this, right?"
He has seen Zhao Zhong take action, but the feeling of oppression is far less than that of the girl in front of him.
The petite and frail-looking girl in front of her is obviously more than a step stronger than Middle Stage of Transforming Force's Zhao Zhong in terms of strength.
"Cruel, really cruel!"
Seeing the girl's figure punching her flesh, Jiang Fa was secretly speechless.
Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape steadied its body and let out a frightened and angry roar. The fear in its blood-red eyes became a little stronger.
The girl in black shook her right hand, as if the punch just moved her muscles.
She turned her head and glanced at Jiang Fa,
His voice was crisp, but with a hint of impatience. "Hey, stand back and stay out of the way."
Jiang Fa was startled and looked around, only to realize that the girl was talking to him.
"It seems that she regards me as a streetwalker..."
I want to go back to my thoughts, but Jiang Fa's body is very honest,
"Oh, okay, okay."
He stood up with difficulty holding the Ghost Head Sword, and dragged his legs slowly back.
In a battle of this level, he really couldn't intervene, and would actually get in the way.
But I can't blame myself for this. If I were to blame, I could only keep my legs from running away. Even now, I'm still weak...
Those dozens of knives I just fought with Tu Lie,
The qi and blood in his body have not completely calmed down yet, and his arms are so weak that he can hardly hold the handle of the knife.
"Peak An Jin is definitely not someone I can touch now!"
Jiang Fa couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Seeing Jiang Fa walking aside obediently, the girl in black turned around again and faced Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape.
She stroked the black hair beside her ears and walked towards the demon ape.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
Every time she took a step, her aura increased.
When she took the fifth step, her whole body was like a peerless sword being slowly unsheathed, glowing with a cold light.
The energy all over her body was like a physical entanglement, and her clothes were fluttering and making a hunting sound.
Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape felt this oppressive momentum and let out a low and uneasy whimper.
Its hind legs retreated slightly, assuming a defensive posture.
It raised its head to the sky and let out a deafening roar. It thrust its limbs on the bridge, and its huge body crashed towards the girl in black like a black hill.
There was nothing flashy about this collision, it was just pure brute force. With its size several times larger than that of an ordinary black ape, if this collision were real, even a city wall would be knocked down.
The girl in black didn't hide.
She took half a step back with her right foot, lowered her center of gravity, crossed her arms in front of her, and assumed a defensive posture that Jiang Fa had never seen before.
Boom!
The huge body of the demon ape collided with the girl in black, making a loud noise like a mountain falling apart.
The bridge deck shook violently, and with the two people as the center, all the bluestones within a few feet were shattered, and the gravel flew in all directions like rain.
Jiang Fa felt his feet shake and almost fell to the ground.
He inserted the ghost-head knife into the crack of the bridge deck with his backhand, and managed to steady himself with the support of the knife blade.
The smoke and dust cleared.
His eyes widened.
The girl in black didn't move at all.
Her feet sank deeply into the bridge deck, up to her calves, but her whole body was like an iron stake driven into the ground, firmly blocking the full impact of Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape.
Her arms firmly pressed against the demon ape's head, as steady as a rock.
"Is this enough strength?"
The girl in black grinned.
The next moment, she exerted force with both arms and pushed the demon ape's head to the side.
The demon ape's huge body was pushed half a foot to the side, its center of gravity was unbalanced, and it staggered a few steps back.
The girl in black seized this opportunity and stepped into the demon ape's arms like a ghost, punching out like raindrops with her fists.
Punch to the flesh.
The dull sound of blows was continuous and resounded throughout the canyon.
Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape's fur, which was as tough as iron armor, seemed to turn into a piece of tissue under her fist.
Every time a punch landed, a deep punch mark was dented on the demon ape's body. The black fur was shaken by the force of the punch, causing it to stand on end and break into pieces.
The demonic ape let out a series of shrill screams and waved its front paws desperately in an attempt to fight back, but the girl in black's movements were too weird.
She always moved close to the demon ape's chest and abdomen, and her body had shifted to another position with each punch. The demon ape's counterattacks were half a beat too slow every time, and its sharp claws cut through the air, but they always brushed against the corner of her clothes.
When the blow reached its peak, the girl in black let out a loud cry, and her right fist was fully charged.
She clenched her five fingers tightly, with a faint whirlwind wrapping around her fist, and punched out, hitting Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape in the chest.
The power of this punch was more terrifying than any previous punch.
Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape's huge body was lifted off the ground by the punch, flew backwards and hit the bridge more than ten feet away.
A ferocious Third Tier beast weighing two to three thousand kilograms was blown away with a punch by a girl who looked like she weighed only a hundred kilograms.
Everyone present was dumbfounded and shocked.
The moment the Demon Ape landed, the entire Bridge of Helplessness jumped violently, and the section of the bridge that was hit collapsed directly. The bluestone slabs shattered inch by inch, revealing the rusty iron beams underneath.
The bridge body made an overwhelmed creaking sound, cracks spread from the collapse point to both ends, and rubble continued to fall into the bottomless canyon.
The demon ape was lying on the collapsed bridge, with a fist mark that was deeply visible on his chest, and dark red blood gurgling from the depression.
Its limbs twitched a few times, and it struggled to get up again, but failed.
The girl in black slowly closed her fist, stood on the bridge, looked down at the dying Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape, took out the wine gourd from her waist and took another sip.
"You shouldn't be able to run away now, right?"
Seeing that the dust had settled, Jiang Fa took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart.
He stood up holding the Ghost Head Sword, straightened his clothes, then walked up to the girl in black, bowed and clasped his fists in salute.
"Um... thank you girl for saving my life."
He said in a hoarse voice.
The girl in black turned her head, glanced at him, and said with a cold expression, "You're welcome, I didn't come here specifically to save you."
Looking at Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape on the ground, there was no movement at all.
She continued, "This beast has been entrenched in the depths of Black Wind Ridge for many years. Recently, I don't know what kind of stimulation it has. It suddenly rushed out of the mountains and injured many hunters and herb collectors. I chased it for three days and three nights. I should thank you. If you hadn't blocked it for a moment on the bridge, this beast would have rushed all the way to the official road, and it would have been troublesome."
Jiang Fa's heart moved slightly, remembering Lin Feng's instructions to him, he couldn't help but ask, "Dare I ask girl, what happened deep inside Black Wind Ridge?"
The smile on the girl's face in black faded a bit.
She was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Why do you ask this?"
"I have been in and out of Black Wind Ridge before, and I am quite familiar with it." Jiang Fa said truthfully.
The girl in black didn't speak, she just glanced at him lightly.
She turned around and looked at the dark forest on the other side of the canyon, and was silent for a long time.
She finally spoke, her voice a little lower than before,
"Listen to my advice. It's best to stay away from Black Wind Ridge these days."
She didn't explain why.
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the corpse of the demon ape.
Then in Jiang Fa's shocked eyes,
She knelt down, pointed her right hand like a knife, attached her strength to it, and lightly slashed the demon ape's chest.
The tough fur was easily cut open by her, revealing the dark red muscles and bones inside.
She fumbled with her hand in the wound for a moment and pulled out an egg-sized animal core that emitted a faint light.
The girl in black weighed the beast's core in her hands and put it in her arms.
She stood up, patted the blood on her hands, and pouted at Jiang Fa: "This beast's body belongs to you."
Jiang Fa was slightly startled. "Girl..."
"I said, you're welcome."
The girl in black interrupted him, "The fur and bones of this beast are worth some money. It is considered as payment for your hard work in disposing of the body of this beast."
She turned around and walked toward the other end of the bridge, her steps brisk and her clothes fluttering.
Halfway through, she stopped again.
She did not look back, but simply asked, "By the way, are the goods in your car destined for Lin County?"
Jiang Fa was slightly startled and nodded subconsciously. "Yes."
"Then leave quickly."
The voice of the girl in black came from afar, and her figure had disappeared around the corner of the cliff. "The person just now was not seriously injured. I am afraid that he will notice the movement here soon. You are lucky this time, so it is best not to stay here."
Her voice became farther and farther away, and when the last word came, it was almost inaudible.
