Chapter 91

The mountains undulate, giant trees tower, and massive vines twist like pythons, with huge beasts occasionally emerging, their roars shaking the mountains and rivers.

"Roar"

A towering golden-furred gorilla, standing three zhang tall, let out an angry roar, shaking the leaves of the entire forest to a rustling fall.

In the clearing of the forest, the golden-furred gorilla was staring at a human whose size was completely disproportionate to its own.

The man stood tall and elegant, his black hair flying, like a celestial emperor descending, radiating intense waves of energy. This was Long Chen.

Originally, this was a dense forest, but now, within a few hundred zhang, everything was in chaos, with trees toppled and rocks rolling, forming a clearing.

Long Chen had received a map from the village chief, marking some dangerous areas, one of which was the territory of a second-stage magical beast.

That was the golden-furred gorilla before him. In the past, the ancestors of the village had accidentally intruded into its territory, resulting in heavy casualties.

The villagers both hated and feared the golden-furred gorilla. When they heard that Long Chen wanted to hunt a second-stage magical beast, they immediately thought of it.

However, Long Chen refused everyone, including Xiaohua, and came alone, easily finding this place according to the map.

Sure enough, the golden-furred gorilla had a very strong territorial awareness. As soon as Long Chen stepped into the forest, he was immediately attacked.

"Roar"

The golden-furred gorilla, with fists as large as water jars, pounded its chest like a drum, letting out an angry roar, and then leaped at Long Chen.

The golden-furred gorilla was also a strength-type magical beast, but as a second-stage magical beast, it was even more terrifying.

Its massive body, like a moving small mountain, moved with astonishing speed, reaching Long Chen in the blink of an eye.

Long Chen spread his fingers and quickly formed a fist. The moment he clenched his fist, the air around him stirred, and a fierce wind rose within ten zhang.

By this time, Long Chen had been in a fierce battle with the golden-furred gorilla for over half an hour. The golden-furred gorilla, as a second-stage magical beast, was extremely powerful.

According to Long Chen's estimation, the ferocious bear he had previously killed would not have lasted a single blow against this golden-furred gorilla.

A casual strike from the golden-furred gorilla exerted a force of several tens of thousands of pounds. If Long Chen had not advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm, his physical strength alone would not have been enough to match it.

However, after such a long battle, they were evenly matched in strength. Long Chen did not intend to waste any more time.

"Wind-Breaking Fist"

With a low shout, Long Chen swung his fist, and a fierce wind surged, enveloping his fist in a faint glow.

"Bang"

Long Chen's fist struck the golden-furred gorilla's arm, producing a dull sound. The massive golden-furred gorilla was pushed back several dozen zhang, breaking a dozen trees behind it, creating a terrifying scene.

Indeed, after advancing to the Blood Condensation Realm, his physical strength had greatly improved, and his mastery of combat techniques had become more proficient.

The power of the Wind-Breaking Fist was much stronger than when he was in the Qi Gathering Realm, and combined with his own strength, it was enough to push back a second-stage magical beast.

Long Chen did not expect that advancing to the Blood Condensation Realm would bring such a significant improvement. His use of combat techniques had become even more fluid.

"Roar"

The golden-furred gorilla, in a wretched state, let out an angry roar, its eyes, like small lanterns, filled with rage.

It was the king of this area, having dominated for hundreds of years. Today, it was being challenged by a mere human for the first time, and it could not bear it.

"Boom"

The golden-furred gorilla punched the ground, and suddenly its black fur stood on end, emitting a terrifying aura.

Long Chen was startled. He immediately sensed the change in the golden-furred gorilla, not expecting this magical beast to still have reserves.

The golden-furred gorilla's terrifying fangs were exposed, its eyes fixed on Long Chen. It stomped its foot, causing dust to fly, and charged at Long Chen like a meteor.

Long Chen suddenly felt immense pressure and did not dare to be careless. He burst with full strength and unleashed another Wind-Breaking Fist.

However, this time, when his fist struck the golden-furred gorilla, Long Chen felt a shock, and he was thrown back, flying over twenty zhang before stopping.

"Such a blow is comparable to that of a Muscle Transformation Realm expert. This is the body of a magical beast, truly terrifying."

Long Chen shook his slightly numb arm. The golden-furred gorilla's blow was incredibly powerful. If he had not advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm, his arm might have been broken.

Although this blow was not as strong as the power displayed by Ying Hou, it was only slightly inferior, showing that magical beasts were truly invincible at the same stage for humans.

Clearly, this golden-furred gorilla had its own trump card. At this moment, it was in its strongest state.

The golden-furred gorilla let out another roar and charged at Long Chen. Before Long Chen could react, a streak of light suddenly shot through the air, heading straight for the golden-furred gorilla.

"Snap"

It was a green light, moving extremely fast. Before the golden-furred gorilla could react, it was struck by the light.

However, the light only grazed the golden-furred gorilla's fur and was shattered.

Long Chen was slightly startled, noticing that Xiaoxue, who had been hiding in the distance, had run to his side, still with her mouth open.

"Is it a wind blade?"

Long Chen was surprised. He had heard that third-stage magical beasts had their own inherited combat techniques, and it seemed to be true.

Although the wind blade Xiaoxue spat out was weak, it was still impressive considering her size. She was not even a first-stage magical beast, yet she could already perform a ranged attack.

Seeing that her attack had no effect, Xiaoxue opened her mouth to attack again, but suddenly felt a tightness and was thrown out.

"Don't interfere"

Long Chen threw Xiaoxue away. This little one must have thought he was in danger and came to help.

However, her attack was not even enough to tickle the golden-furred gorilla. Afraid that she might get hurt, he threw her out of the battle.

As the golden-furred gorilla charged, Long Chen let out a low shout:

"Come out, Divine Ring"

Buzz!

Suddenly, a ring of light appeared behind Long Chen, a thousand zhang in diameter, no longer resembling the original vortex. The thirteen vortices had merged into one, looking like a rainbow from a distance.

When the Divine Ring appeared, the earth trembled slightly, and the spiritual energy within hundreds of miles rushed toward Long Chen. He immediately felt invigorated, his body filled with power.

Long Chen realized that when the thirteen vortices merged, it had the same effect as when he injected the spiritual energy from the Fengfu Star into the vortices, causing a terrifying surge in power.

At this moment, the golden-furred gorilla had already charged to Long Chen's side. Without hesitation, Long Chen slapped out a palm.

"Bang"

The explosion was deafening, a terrifying shockwave radiating out. Long Chen's long hair danced, his clothes fluttered, and the Divine Ring behind him made him look like a reincarnated celestial emperor, towering over the nine heavens.

The golden-furred gorilla's terrifying blow was blocked by Long Chen. At this moment, Long Chen felt an unprecedented strength.

He had underestimated the Divine Ring. The叠加 of the thirteen vortices had increased his strength to an unimaginable level, so powerful that even he found it hard to believe.

He still knew too little about it. The connection of the thirteen vortices was even more powerful than injecting the spiritual energy from the Fengfu Star into the vortices. This cultivation technique was like a bottomless pit, and he needed to continue exploring.

"Rise"

Long Chen shouted, like a thunderclap, and the massive golden-furred gorilla was thrown into the air.

"Swish"

A broadsword sliced through the sky, a sword beam like a whip cutting through the heavens, slicing through the golden-furred gorilla's body, blood splattering everywhere.

"Bang Bang"

Two pieces of the corpse fell to the ground with a dull thud.

"Truly a ground-level combat technique, what terrifying killing power."

Seeing such a powerful golden-furred gorilla cut into two pieces, he was amazed. He had underestimated the power of ground-level combat techniques.

In fact, Long Chen did not know that not all ground-level combat techniques could be used for ranged attacks. On the contrary, most techniques were activated by attaching them to weapons.

Coincidentally, the Three Styles of Wind was a technique that harnessed the wind attribute within the body, allowing the generation of sword qi for ranged attacks.

Such techniques were very rare, and most importantly, they required a practitioner with wind attribute spiritual energy to cultivate.

Unlike ordinary ground-level combat techniques, which did not require attributes and could be activated by injecting spiritual energy into weapons.

Techniques like the Three Styles of Wind, although rare, had their own drawbacks. If the spiritual energy did not contain the wind attribute, they could not be used.

Long Chen, a novice in the cultivation world, did not know what attributes were and, in a muddled state, had managed to cultivate it.

If Xia Changfeng knew about this, would he be so angry that he would die again?

"Roar"

While lost in thought, Long Chen was startled awake. He noticed that Xiaoxue had run to the golden-furred gorilla's corpse and was tearing at its flesh.

The golden-furred gorilla's body was extremely tough, evident from its terrifying strength, yet Xiaoxue managed to tear off a piece of flesh and chew it.

However, chewing was very difficult. It was clear that even the best teeth would struggle with it.

Xiaoxue, like Ah Man, seemed to draw strength and growth from flesh, and would eat it whenever she saw it.

Long Chen took out a knife and tried to cut some softer meat for Xiaoxue, but she ignored it and continued to struggle with the tendons on the golden-furred gorilla's arms and legs.

Helplessly, Long Chen had to help her cut. This golden-furred gorilla was meant to be offered to the Forest God.

However, Long Chen thought that the Forest God, being such a benevolent being, would not be so petty as to care about a little flesh.

Xiaoxue had traveled a long distance to be with him, enduring many hardships. If he did not let her have a full meal, he would feel even more guilty.

When the little one's body was almost round from eating, she finally stopped. Long Chen tidied up, tied the golden-furred gorilla's corpse, and dragged it along the ground.

The golden-furred gorilla's body was too large to fit in the spatial ring, and Long Chen intentionally let its flesh be exposed, heading deep into the forest.
