Chapter 78

"Sixteen Overlapping Wave Palms!"

A shadow flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before the white ape, his palms overlapping as if the sea was roaring, creating a flurry of palm shadows that quickly approached the white ape. With a fierce shout, he lunged forward.

The true essence energy around his body surged like a tidal wave, suddenly pouring into his hands as he struck the giant ape.

The palm wind howled, and sensing the danger, the giant ape abruptly stopped, its massive palms about to strike the young girl!

Perhaps sensing the challenge from an outsider, it let out a fierce roar and turned to charge at Wang Chen.

Bang...

In an instant, the two vastly different palms collided, producing a dull explosion.

An invisible wave of energy spread out like a solid force in all directions.

The moment they made contact, Wang Chen immediately felt a terrifying impact force surge through his arms, shaking his entire body. Under the immense force, his bones seemed to groan.

Thud... Thud... Thud...

In the next moment, his figure was violently pushed back several meters! The impact on his internal organs made his face flush. For a brief moment, his entire arm lost all sensation.

On the opposite side, the white ape only retreated a few steps before stabilizing, roaring and charging at the human who had challenged it.

Under the Sixteen Overlapping Wave Palms, Wang Chen's strike could unleash a force of nearly four thousand pounds. Even so, it did nothing to move the white ape, demonstrating its formidable strength.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help!" Seeing the white ape charge again, Wang Chen took a deep breath and shouted at the stunned girl. His strike had drawn the white ape's attention, but the girl was still in a daze, leaving Wang Chen in a difficult position.

"Oh... Coming... Coming!"

Jolted by Wang Chen's shout, the girl snapped out of her shock.

Earlier, she had clearly felt the presence of death, seeing the white ape's massive palms about to strike her, even imagining herself being turned into a pulp.

At that moment, she was completely despairing, thinking she would die there. Just as she was utterly hopeless, the young man suddenly appeared.

In the nick of time, he blocked the white ape's strike, saving her.

She was saved? Thinking of this, the girl let out a long breath, her face turning slightly red as she looked at his slightly rugged and stubborn expression. It wasn't until then that his angry shout made her realize it wasn't the time to be in a daze.

She secretly pouted and stuck out her tongue, then quickly leaped up, picking up the longsword she had dropped during the chase and running to join Wang Chen in the battle.

"I'll take the left, you take the right. We need to work together, or we won't stand a chance!" Seeing the girl run over, Wang Chen loudly instructed, fearing she wouldn't understand.

From their previous encounter, the girl's strength seemed to be at the level of a Fifth Rank True Warrior. With her help, Wang Chen believed they might have a chance against the white ape.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

The white ape roared and charged, its massive feet stomping the ground with a thunderous sound, causing the entire earth to tremble.

Its palms raised high, it struck directly at Wang Chen!

Seeing the white ape's attack, Wang Chen used the Ghost Step, swiftly dodging the fierce blow and circling around to attack from the side.

With the girl's help, the two of them managed to divert the white ape's attention, and together, they managed to inflict some wounds on it.

At this moment, the power of the Overlapping Wave Palms was fully unleashed in Wang Chen's hands.

Each time, he poured all his strength into the Sixteen Overlapping Wave Palms, unleashing a force of four thousand pounds.

However, compared to the white ape's eight thousand pounds of strength, Wang Chen's power was still insignificant, seemingly having no effect. The numbing pain in his hands made him suffer greatly.

The girl's strength was also fully unleashed, her Fifth Rank True Warrior level slightly easing the pressure on Wang Chen. The longsword in her hands created a flurry of sword shadows, whistling through the air with a sharp sound, flashing with a cold, icy light, dancing through the sky!

Despite this, the two of them were still in grave danger against the white ape.

Dust filled the air, and the wind howled. Wang Chen's body was covered in several wounds, looking disheveled, and the girl was in no better condition.

Bang...

After another direct confrontation, Wang Chen was thrown back, flying through the air in a brilliant parabolic arc before crashing to the ground.

Spit...

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, incredibly vivid!

Then, the girl was also thrown back with a scream, slamming into a large tree.

The white ape, however, only had a few shallow wounds from the girl's longsword, barely noticeable.

"This won't do, we'll both die if this continues!" Frowning, Wang Chen inhaled sharply and muttered to himself.

Even with the girl's help, the two of them were no match for the white ape. Although it was only a Sixth Rank True Warrior, its strength was comparable to that of an Eighth or even Ninth Rank True Warrior. This level of power was beyond what the two of them could handle together.

"There's no other choice!" Wang Chen exhaled, a determined look flashing in his eyes.

"You hold it off, give me some time!" He shouted to the girl, his voice tinged with urgency.

Hearing Wang Chen's words, the girl was momentarily stunned. Seeing the white ape charge again, she didn't have time to think and quickly picked up her dropped longsword, charging forward with a shout.

Perhaps because Wang Chen had saved her, or because there was no time to think, she chose to trust him. A minute, though dangerous, should be enough to hold on.

"Green Light Burst!" Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen shouted, watching the girl's perilous situation.

The remaining true essence energy in his body surged into his hands, and the external essence energy also rushed in.

A ball of energy gradually formed in his hands, changing from white to green, emitting a sharp, high-pitched sound.

At this point, Wang Chen knew that only the Green Light Burst could be tried, and he had only one chance.

His current Green Light Burst could condense six layers of energy. With his improved strength, a six-layer Green Light Burst, if fully unleashed, could deal a fatal blow to the white ape. However, this required the girl to delay the white ape, giving him enough time and a good opportunity to hit the white ape's vital points.

Otherwise, even if the full power was unleashed, it wouldn't be enough to kill the white ape.

As the energy continued to grow, Wang Chen's breathing quickened, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face.

His heart was filled with anxiety, like a thousand ants crawling, as the girl was clearly struggling, her wounds increasing, her face pale, and she was on the verge of death. Every second was crucial.

"Kid, hurry, the girl can't hold on much longer, damn it!" Ling Zhan also urged, as the girl was thrown back again by the white ape, spitting out bright red blood.

"Almost, almost done!" Wang Chen muttered to himself, as if to reassure himself. The energy in his hands continued to grow, forming a green light ball about the size of a fist, shimmering with a green light and emitting a sharp buzzing sound.

"Draw it over here!" Finally, when the Green Light Burst was fully condensed, Wang Chen anxiously shouted to the girl.

With six layers of true essence energy condensed into the Green Light Burst, the remaining energy in his body was less than two layers, all used to control the Green Light Burst. Therefore, he had to have the girl draw the white ape closer, so that he could unleash the full power of the Green Light Burst and hit the most accurate spot.
