In the Demon Beast Combat Zone, all the demon beasts are hostile towards the human race, and there happen to be four human cultivators at the Qi Condensation stage here. Wang Qi was willing to bet that this beast's target was definitely the four of them.
Thinking of this, Wang Qi's gaze immediately turned sinister.
Attack me and my companions? Haha!
At this moment, the battle between the demon deer and the demon ape began.
The Thunder Deer and the Ghost-faced Ape mutually despised each other. The Deer King used its full strength for the first strike. Its antlers once again emitted dazzling electric light, and the surging demonic power almost made Wang Qi unable to hold on. The Deer King lowered its head and charged forward at full speed.
The demon ape let out a deafening roar, and a black mist condensed on its fists. Then it leaped down from the tree and slammed down with all its might at the Deer King.
The demon ape's fists collided with the deer's antlers, producing a loud noise. Wang Qi was momentarily blinded by the shock. When he focused his eyes, he saw that the two beasts were evenly matched. The demon ape's fists were repelled by lightning before they even approached the Deer King's antlers, and the Deer King's lightning could not penetrate the black mist on the demon ape's fists.
The demon ape roared continuously, striking with its fists repeatedly. The Deer King let out a long howl to the sky, with electric arcs wrapping around its body, constantly repelling the demon ape's fists. At the same time, the demon deer kept dodging and turning, trying to use its antlers to give the opponent a hard hit. However, due to the size of its antlers, its movements were far less agile than the Ghost-faced Ape.
The aftershocks of the two demon beasts' struggle made Wang Qi's face turn pale. He could only suppress the Deer King by using his knowledge of electricity to counter its innate abilities. In a real fight, he would definitely not be able to defeat this demon deer.
The Thunder Deer seemed to have forgotten Wang Qi's existence, lowering its head and focusing on finding an opportunity to attack. But this action gave the demon ape a chance. The demon ape leaped high and punched straight at the Deer King's head.
Wang Qi, standing on the Deer King's head, was terrified and instinctively used all his strength to strike with his palm. A golden light flashed, and the demon ape actually retreated, clutching its hand!
"What is this..." Wang Qi was puzzled. He definitely did not have the strength to repel the demon ape. What exactly happened just now?
Taking this opportunity, the Deer King adjusted its posture and resumed the struggle with the Ghost-faced Ape. Wang Qi began to recall what had just happened.
What exactly happened?
What did I use just now?
Wang Qi closed his eyes and looked inward, quickly finding the answer.
"The lost mana in my body belongs to the Great Elephant Wave Power and the Ripple Profound Qi!"
After this incident, the Ghost-faced Ape became somewhat wary of the small creature on the Deer King's head. It no longer attacked the Deer King's head but instead kept probing the Deer King's body, causing the Deer King to constantly dodge and turn.
Seeing the situation become deadlocked again, Wang Qi became anxious. The Deer King was only at the early Qi Condensation stage, weaker than the mid-Qi Condensation Ghost-faced Ape. If the Deer King lost, he would also be injured. He asked Zhenanzhi, "Old man, do you have any experience dealing with demon beasts?"
Zhenanzhi smiled bitterly, "Even if I have experience, you can't use it. The methods you have cultivated are very different from mine, and this situation is unprecedented. You seemed to neutralize the demon ape's yin-type demonic power with pure yang-type mana. You might want to try this approach."
Pure yang? Wang Qi frowned. The "attributes" and "nature" in modern techniques are merely descriptive terms for the effects of the techniques, not essential characteristics of the cultivation methods. Therefore, the brief descriptions of the techniques do not necessarily specify whether a technique is fire or water. Modern techniques do not distinguish between "yin and yang" or "five elements." How would he know what "pure yang mana" is!
"Fortunately, there are only two possibilities. I'll just try them out." After making his decision, Wang Qi gathered the remaining wave power in his body and condensed it into a wave blade. He waited for the right moment and swung his hand, shooting the wave blade at the demon ape.
At this moment, the demon ape was enveloped in a thin layer of black mist. The wave blade, which had been unstoppable before, encountered resistance for the first time and failed to penetrate the black mist. However, this invisible attack still frightened the demon ape. It retreated a few steps and changed its attacks to probes.
"Haha, this is a bit unlucky... It turns out to be the Ripple Profound Qi." Wang Qi smiled bitterly. He was not yet proficient in controlling the Ripple Profound Qi. How could he use it to repel the demon ape?
Speaking of which, is the Ripple Profound Qi classified as pure yang according to ancient methods? This is somewhat interesting.
Wang Qi recalled the relationship between the Ripple Profound Qi and other techniques. The Ripple Profound Qi was inspired by the Great Elephant Wave Power, which in turn was derived from the Wave-Particle Duality. The Wave-Particle Duality came from...
The Wave-Particle Duality originated from the Blazing Sun Wave Qi and the Heavenly Light Transformation Technique, both of which are clearly yang-type.
So, is this the root of the Ripple Profound Qi being yang-type?
The Blazing Sun Wave Qi and the Heavenly Light Transformation Technique were of lower rank compared to other divine techniques before they merged, so Wang Qi almost never used them. But this time, the Blazing Sun Wave Qi seemed to have a significant role to play.
"Since I can't control the Ripple Profound Qi freely, I'll use all the related mana! After using the Great Elephant Wave Power and the Blazing Sun Wave Qi, I don't believe I won't bring out a bit of Ripple Profound Qi!"
Wang Qi tapped the Deer King's head with his heel and leaned down, saying, "Big guy, we need to coordinate our attack. Do you understand?"
After demon beasts pass the Spirit Opening stage, their intelligence approaches that of a human child. Although the Deer King couldn't understand human language, it could sense Wang Qi's "request for cooperation." Wang Qi pointed at the Ghost-faced Ape and said, "Let's take out that thing first, that thing, got it?"
The Deer King made a few sounds, but it was unclear what they meant. However, after seeing Wang Qi attack the Ghost-faced Ape, its hostility decreased. After Wang Qi showed his goodwill, it tried to keep its head steady to prevent Wang Qi from falling off.
"Now, what I need is an opportunity for a close-range attack." After communicating with the Deer King, Wang Qi smiled in satisfaction. Due to Wang Qi's two attacks, the demon ape was wary of the human and the deer, only daring to throw black mist balls from a distance. These attacks were harmless, and the Deer King's electric arcs could easily block them all.
Finally, the Ghost-faced Ape could no longer hold back. It leaped high and dove down from above.
"Right now!" Wang Qi pointed at the demon ape and shouted. To ensure the Deer King could see his gesture, he adjusted his position. Although the Deer King didn't understand what Wang Qi was doing, it instinctively used its antlers to block the Ghost-faced Ape's attack.
The demon ape and the Deer King were evenly matched, and the Ghost-faced Ape's terrifying ugly face was only a few feet away from Wang Qi. Wang Qi could even smell the stench from the Ghost-faced Ape's breath.
Wang Qi showed a disgusted smile, "Monkey, you need to brush your teeth."
He extended his hand straight toward the demon ape, and the Blazing Sun Wave Qi burst out from his palm, followed by a golden light wave.
"The power of the wave is the power of the sun! Die, monkey!"
