Austin activated his spiritual sense and instantly knew the exact movements of the evil ape. He could
easily tell its attack from all directions.
With the Wind-commanding Skill, he moved quite swiftly like a leaf in the wind, flashing from left to right
as if he was disappearing and reappearing. As a result, he was the most relaxed of the six.
Brandishing his shining sword, Austin skillfully and smoothly performed the Cloud Swordsmanship,
striking the ape more than a dozen times in succession. And each time, the evil ape was stabbed in the
rough part of the flesh causing blood to ooze from the wounds.
This scene impressed everyone including Marvin and Ralf because they hadn't hit the ape yet. All they
did was dodging the ape's attack.
Austin's attacks didn't do much damage to the evil ape but at least it got disturbed.
His uncanny bodily movement skill enabled him to be unusually agile and swift. Eventually, the evil ape
began to take Austin as its greatest threat.
"Ow!"
The evil ape let out a deafening roar, and the black energy gathered around its enormous claws rapidly.
It temporarily abandoned its attack on the others and focused its attention on Austin.
Sensing the terrifying power of the evil ape, Austin flashed and moved to the left of the evil ape.
But the evil ape was quick to chase after him. It made a turn and charged at Austin again.
The powerful energy that came towards Austin pressed his vital energy slightly stagnant and unable to
flow smoothly.
Austin groaned as he wondered why the evil ape just frantically chased him.
The other five started to realize what was happening.
Ralf rushed hastily to the back of the evil ape. As he was about to land on its back, he waved the white
chain in his hands and immediately wrapped it around the ape's neck from behind.
The evil ape might have great strength, but it was weak in bodily movement skills. As soon as the white
chain was winded around the ape's neck, it shrank and tightened automatically.
At this point, the rest of the team acted. William wielded his hammer and slammed it at the evil ape's
head; Mindy raised her dagger and lunged at the ape's left breast; George took his sword which carried
faint tiger's growls and cut the ape in the right rib.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the evil ape pursued Austin only, the other five held their
weapons and attacked the ape's vital parts.
Sensing a great threat, the evil ape let out a roar again and instantly, its body size doubled. The
miasma of red and black around it ran swiftly, and the black energy rapidly gathered on its surface.
The roar was so loud that it made everyone's eardrum almost burst. The evil ape struck their weapons
with its two huge claws.
William's purple and gold hammer got hit, and he was knocked against a nearby rock. The hit was so
hard that he spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately turned pale.
George's sword was also hit and its hilt shook violently that made his right palm bleed. It flew away
from his hand and struck into the ground deep.
Mindy noticed the evil ape's attacks and darted to the side in a flash. Yet, the ape's huge claw still
managed to brush against her shoulder.
The powerful energy attached to its claw tore her clothes, revealing half of her charming breasts
causing her bright red breast protector to be faintly visible. The fierce force also made her dizzy, stuffy
in the chest, and sick.
As the three were repelled, Austin finally found the opportunity to attack. He appeared in front of the
ape in a blink of an eye, brandishing his sword and thrusting the evil ape at its throat.
At this point, a flash of blinding white light with surging and swirling force swooped down on the evil
ape's right flank.
Austin and Marvin got the timing right. The evil ape was chained to its neck and could not move freely.
Moreover, after it fought off William, George, and Mindy, its strength was not yet restored.
And because of its own clumsy bodily movement skill, it didn't escape the attacks from Marvin and
Austin.
As Marvin withdrew his silver trident, a stream of blood gushed out of the evil ape's right flank, and half
of its intestines fell out.
Even though Marvin's silver trident was a low-grade spiritual weapon, it was unusually powerful. And
since the abdomen was a soft part of the evil ape's body, the silver trident caused harm to it.
At the same time, Austin's sword punctured the black energy around the ape's body and pierced his
throat. A stream of blood suddenly spurted out.
At that time, Austin's vital energy was only in the fifth level of Energy Gathering Realm and his sword
was made of ordinary iron.
If Austin were holding a spiritual weapon, his blow would have pierced the evil ape's neck.
The ape's demonic nature was aroused by the two heavy blows on its body. It let out a whine with its
head raising to the sky.
Then it seized the chain around his neck with its two huge claws and swung it frenziedly. Ralf was
caught off guard, thrown off like a kite and crashed into a rock. Startled, he let go of the chain and
rolled on the ground several times until he finally stopped.
As the evil ape exerted so much effort, more blood spurted from the wounds on its right flank and neck.
The long intestine on his right flank also continued to fall out to the ground.
The crowd was overjoyed. If the ape continued to bleed like this, it was likely to die.
The evil ape kept howling as it waved the chain wildly, making it look like a windmill while hurling itself
at its enemies like a great chariot.
Austin suddenly realized what the ape was doing. He exclaimed, "It's calling for his companion. Kill it,
everybody. Hurry up!"
The others were startled upon hearing this and remembered that there were two evil apes in the valley.
But so far, they had only met one and the other hadn't shown up yet.
It turned out that recent disciples who broke into the valley for training were weaker compared to the
two evil apes.
The two evil apes had defeated dozens of stronger disciples easily and thus despised the human
cultivators that entered the valley.
There was a male and female evil ape. The male evil ape stayed by the entrance of the valley to keep
watch and stop any human from breaking in, while the female evil ape guarded the earth spirit fruit.
When the male evil ape met Austin and the five others, it didn't take them too seriously and thought it
could kill or chase them away after a fight.
It never occurred to it that these human cultivators were extraordinarily powerful, and thus it was
severely injured.
The two evil apes' hearts were interlinked. As the male evil ape roared, the female ape in the depth of
the valley sensed it immediately, so, it rushed towards the male ape's rescue.
With its huge body making the valley shake with thunder, the grass and trees were broken as it passed
through them, and smoke billowed in its path.
The animals and birds were disturbed. One could tell that even the animals feared the evil apes from
the sound they were making as the valley shook.
The team immediately sensed the stir and knew that the other evil ape was coming.
But instead of fear, they felt overjoyed and were discreetly glad that the two evil apes were separated in
the beginning.
If they had met the two evil apes at the same time, the six of them could already be defeated, or worst,
dead. Judging from the strength of the male evil ape, there was no way they could win if they fought the
two simultaneously.
Had it not been for Austin's uncanny ability to keep the evil ape at bay, the six might haven't pinned it
down yet.
"Everybody, hurry up and kill this evil ape first. If the two evil apes join forces, it will be hard for us to
handle them," Marvin urged.
He considered himself as the leader of the team.
Despite being annoyed, the rest of the team agreed to him at that moment. So, they all tried their best
to attack the stricken male evil ape.
