Demon Ape finally regained some consciousness at the last moment.
It felt a foreign object approaching the back of its head, and quickly mobilized the remaining Blood Baleful Intent in its body to condense on the back of its head.
Lin Chuan's sword didn't even pierce its skin before, so it wasn't too worried. As long as it can hold on this time, as long as--
The tip of the sword touched Blood Baleful Intent without making any sound. Azure Ribbon's sword edge passed through the layer of defense like a layer of gauze Penetration, and Blood Baleful Intent seemed to not exist in front of the sword edge.
The tip of the sword pierced the back of the head and came out from between the eyebrows. It was clean, quiet, and silent.
Demon Ape's eyes dimmed instantly.
Demon Ape's huge body froze in place. His left fist still held Qin Tiexin's wrist, but the strength in his hand had completely disappeared. It slowly tilted forward, and then fell to the ground. Qin Tiexin released its left fist and took a step back.
There was only a small sword hole on the back of Demon Ape's head, and no blood even flowed out, but it was indeed dead.
Qin Tiexin watched Lin Chuan put the sword into his waist, and the sword edge disappeared into the belt sheath in a flash. Lin Chuan raised his head and looked at Qin Tiexin, and they both fell to the ground at the same time.
"That Lion's Roar of yours almost made me deaf." Lin Chuan coughed and pulled the wound on his chest, grinning in pain.
"Your sword is so fast and so good Sharpness, thank you for coming." Qin Tiexin leaned next to Demon Ape's body, glanced at the tiny sword hole on Demon Ape's head, which was close at hand, then looked up at Lin Chuan's pale face, and suddenly smiled.
Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed. The two of them were leaning on Demon Ape's body, one on the left and the other on the right. Their laughter ricocheted back and forth in the valley covered with gravel and bloodstains.
Xu Ying walked over quickly. Her eyes were still red, but there was no hesitation in her hand movements.
First, he stuffed a Reconnect the Veins healing elixir into Lin Chuan's mouth, then pulled back his clothes, and pressed his palm on the spot where Demon Ape hit him on the chest. Light green healing light gushed out from his palm, flowing back and forth on the bruises on his chest.
After doing this, she walked over to Qin Tiexin, checked his left arm, and confirmed that there was no fracture, but some muscle strain. She handed him a bottle of Qi Recovery Pill and gave him a few instructions.
Not far away, Liu Suifeng was still kneeling on the ground, gasping for air.
He looked at Demon Ape who had fallen to the ground, then at the nervous expression on Xu Ying's face who was treating Lin Chuan's injuries, and then at the soft sword at Lin Chuan's waist that was hidden in the belt sheath again, and let out a long breath.
"Finally I can see the captain's Azure Ribbon again. It's really pleasing to the eye."
His voice was a little dry due to fatigue, but the familiar tone returned.
Xu Ying obviously paused for a moment, but did not raise his head. Lin Chuan happened to turn his head to watch Xu Ying apply medicine to the wound on his chest. The moonlight shone through the remaining glow of the medicine garden and fell on his pale but slightly red side face and his moon-white brocade robe.
Xu Ying looked at that face, lowered his head again, and his voice was softer than usual.
"I have a bodyguard Law Artifact, don't stand in front of me next time." Xu Ying looked at the wound he had healed and suddenly said, with a trace of imperceptible complaint in his tone.
Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Demon Ape's body was lying in the middle of the medicine garden. Even if the two-foot-tall body fell, it would look like a hill.
The dark red sky gradually dimmed, and the cliffs on both sides of the valley cast long shadows, shrouding the entire medicinal garden.
The smell of blood in the wind was stronger than before, mixed with the burnt smell left after Lightning was burned and the sweet and fruity aroma emitted after Dragon Blood Fruit was broken, stirred together, and slowly settled in the night.
Lin Chuan put Azure Ribbon back into the belt sheath, put his hand on the chest where Demon Ape hit him, and took a gentle breath.
"It's getting late. Du Heng's spiritual power has been exhausted. Suifeng's spiritual power has also bottomed out. Senior Brother Ming and I have also consumed our energy. We will rest in the medicine garden tonight and set off early tomorrow morning."
No one had any objections.
Xu Ying took out a few top-quality Qi Recovery Pill from the storage bracelet and distributed them to everyone. Du Heng took the elixir and swallowed it, then leaned cross-legged against the stone wall with his eyes closed and breathed. Liu Suifeng stuffed the elixir into his mouth, chewed it twice before swallowing it, took another big gulp of water, then stood up with the array and walked towards the outskirts of the medicine garden.
Since we are going to spend the night here tonight, the warning and defensive formations must be rearranged. The previous defensive formation was smashed by Demon Ape's two punches, and the broken formation flags have to be recovered.
Xu Ying walked to Lin Chuan, squatted down, and pulled open the placket of his chest.
In the center of Lin Chuan's chest, where he was hit by Demon Ape's left fist, the skin turned dark red, and the blood vessels bulged slightly under the skin, like a red-hot spider web. Golden Thread Wood-Grain Armor withstood the most fatal impact for him, but the remaining force still passed through the armor and injured the meridians and ribs in the chest.
Xu Ying's palm was suspended an inch above the wound, and light green healing light poured out from the palm and slowly penetrated into the dark red skin.
Lin Chuan looked down at her focused side face, moved her lips, and wanted to say something. In the end, she just looked away and fell on Liu Suifeng, who was arranging the formation flag in the distance.
Xu Ying's healing light lasted for a full quarter of an hour, until the dark red gradually faded into light pink. She took back her hand, took out a bottle of external ointment from the storage bracelet, dipped a little of it with her fingertips, and gently applied it on Lin Chuan's chest.
"Don't use your spiritual power tonight."
After applying the ointment, her fingers rested on Lin Chuan's chest for a moment, then she took her hand back, stood up and walked towards Du Heng.
Qin Tiexin was leaning on a boulder not far from Demon Ape's body.
His injuries were the lightest among the five. His left arm muscles were somewhat strained. The skin on his fists had a few cracks in the continuous exchange of blows with Demon Ape. Qi and Blood also suffered a lot of loss of spiritual power. There were no major wounds. They were all caused by excessive consumption.
Fire of Life continues to beat in the ventricle, and the warmth flows along the blood vessels through the left arm. The strained muscles are itching slightly in the warmth, and they are recovering quickly.
He took out the water bag and took a few sips, then took a look at the medicine garden. The fighting between the few people was so fierce that they couldn't even care about the spirit medicine inside the medicine garden. Now it looked like a mess.
Of the three Dragon Blood Fruit Tree trees in the center, two were broken by the impact, and only one was still standing. Bodhi Tree was intact, but a few branches were broken by the air waves. White Jade Elephant Ganoderma was not so lucky, and most of them were completely broken by the force of the air.
Du Heng was the first to complete the recovery.
His spiritual power was consumed a lot after that sword strike. After taking Qi Recovery Pill and adjusting his breath for a moment, Dantian had recovered 40% of his spiritual power. Although it was far from its peak state, his actions were no longer affected.
He stood up with a broad sword, walked to Demon Ape's corpse, and turned over Demon Ape's severed right arm with the tip of the sword. The tip of the sword hit the muscles of the severed arm, and it was still as hard as iron as before.
"The strength and defense of this Demon Ape far exceed the Golden Core Early Stage from the outside world. Demon Beast." Du Heng inserted the broadsword on the ground and took out a short knife from Storage Bag. The blade was only as long as the forearm, the blade was extremely thin, and there was a very thin blood groove carved on the back of the knife. This was not like It is Law Artifact for combat, more like a hunting knife specially used to dissect Demon Beast. Qin Tiexin made similar ones for many pig butchers when Ink City was a child.
"I don't know whether it was infected by the mutant Spiritual Qi on the battlefield, or whether it was caused by eating spirit medicine all year round." Qin Tiexin also stood up and walked to Demon Ape.
"They should all be there."
