Chapter 114: Glow of Sword Aura

“Roar!”

Seeing Ji Ye walking to the battlefield, the Forest Monster King huffed air out of its mouth and nose.

It was hard to tell its expression because it was a different species, but there was clearly surprise and vigilance in its eyes.

After all, it had proven its unparalleled strength by defeating the baldy who held a strange stick and who was as brawny as itself. A champion who dared to fight it after that must be very capable!

“Wula, wula...”

However, the other Forest Monsters all roared excitedly.

After all, thanks to Lu Zhishen’s detection, apart from Lu Zhishen who had a fight with the Forest Monster King, all the human beings had straightly admitted defeat the moment it arrived.

The Forest Monster had almost lost interest. Now that a human being joined the battlefield again, they could appreciate their boss’ magnificence for another time!

“I’ve known that you’re buying yourself more time since the beginning, but so am I! Now, I’ve already bought enough time. I wonder if you still need more,” Ji Ye said while staring at the Forest Monster King.

“Roar!”

The Forest Monster King bellowed with aggressive eyes.

It didn’t really understand what Ji Ye said, but it clearly sensed something with its wisdom.

So, without further ado, it simply moved and charged at Ji Ye.

Whoosh!

However, a bronze arrow was even faster than it.

Ji Ye wasn’t holding the Black Serpent Sword. Instead, he used the Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow that he hadn’t used for a long time!

Schwing!

The Forest Monster King had quick action and great dynamic vision. It suddenly raised the red shield more than one meter tall and blocked the incoming bronze arrow!

The bronze arrow was powerful enough to break the Black Serpent’s scales from a hundred meters away like a large-caliber bullet, yet it failed to penetrate the Forest Monster King’s red shield.

That was because the shield was made of strange materials although it seemed to be made of wood. The bronze arrow was stuck after pressing three inches.

Also, it appeared that the shield could absorb momentum. The arrow didn’t cause any brunt when it hit the shield.

“Wula!”

The Forest Monster King’s arms couldn’t have been more agile. While the other Forest Monsters cheered for it, it waved its arms at a high speed and blocked all the bronze arrows that Ji Ye shot out with the red wood shield that wasn’t large at all. It was absolutely unscathed.

However, this was within Ji Ye’s expectation.

Something would’ve been wrong if an Extraordinary Rank-5 Forest Monster King was hit as easily as the Violet Jade Mantis was!

Hum!

Seeing that the Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow didn’t work, Ji Ye stuck a yellow talisman to a sword container which seemed to be made of jade without hesitation.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, a white glow dashed out of the white jade sword container straight at the Forest Monster King’s forehead!

Pa!

Just like before, the Forest Monster King intended to block the attack with the red wood shield.

“Pew!”

But it failed this time. The glow penetrated through the shield and the Forest Monster King’s leg behind it, leaving a wound deep to the bones from which blood was spraying out crazily.

At this moment, the glow finally revealed its true self. It turned out to be the Superior flying sword Ji Ye obtained from the Battlefield of Providence.

With his divine sense power that had long reached Rank-4, and boosted by Yan Chixia’s Sword Breeding Talisman, the attack was definitely as powerful as Extraordinary Rank-5.

Even the Forest Monster King was hurt by the attack.

Clang!

The white jade sword that wounded the Forest Monster King flew back after a certain distance and accelerated again at the Forest Monster King’s head!

“Roar!”

The Forest Monster King roared furiously and smashed the yellow mallet in its other hand at the white jade sword that was coming again!

Hum!

Faced with that, Ji Ye controlled the white jade sword to dodge, circumvent the Forest Monster King, and return to the sword box as a glow.

That was because the yellow mallet that the Forest Monster King held was a special treasure that could break the items it hit.

The white jade flying sword that survived multiple strikes from the Black Serpent Sword would likely be destroyed if it was hit by the yellow mallet!

It was the important lesson Lu Zhishen learned when his Frost Metal Meditation Staff was partly shattered during the battle earlier.

According to Elder Jiao, the yellow mallet’s ability was to cause reverberation within the target, thereby destroying its internal structure. So, not just physical equipment, the defensive spells, such as the Soul race’s shields and the defensive aura from Earth’s Boon, could also be broken by the mallet.

Ji Ye suspected that this item might contain some sort of Transcendent power, just like the Totem Wolf Skin and the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Whoosh!

So, Ji Ye recalled the white jade flying sword and threw a black cannonball at the Forest Monster King.

His level had reached Extraordinary Rank-5, and his strength could be increased by the Nine Yang Divine Art and the Flood Dragon Bloodline. The cannonball he threw out was no less powerful than the white jade flying sword!

“Roar!”

Obviously, the Forest Monster King didn’t really dare to block the attack with the shield. It simply opened its mouth and released sonic waves at the incoming cannonball.

Boom!

The black cannonball immediately exploded, but the red ores inside the cannonball were set ablaze the moment they touched the air!

These were the incendiary bombs that the Twin Dragon Mount made by developing and refining the ores from the Sludge Monsters’ settlement.

“Roar!”

As if it feared the flames, the Forest Monster King quickly raised the shield before itself in case it caught the fire.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, another two black cannonballs had been thrown at it, giving it no room to dodge. It could only detonate them with sonic waves far away from itself!

Boom! Boom!

Another two explosions burst out.

“Roar!”

The Forest Monster King looked tired after destroying three cannonballs.

Apparently, launching the remote sonic waves was quite exhausting.

On the other hand, Ji Ye, who took out another two black cannonballs, was casual and energetic. He didn’t even bother to move.

Getting to the bottom of it, while the Forest Monster King had all the Extraordinary resources of the Forest Monsters, the Twin Dragon Mount had successfully conquered two alien settlements, and Ji Ye, as its master, could only have more resources.

...

“Roar!”

However, after taking consecutive remote strikes from Ji Ye, the Forest Monster King still managed to approach Ji Ye. Its hands were shivering with the sticks and the mallet that they were holding as it desired to smash Ji Ye into smithereens.

Whoosh!

But in the next moment, Ji Ye simply moved away and continued throwing the cannonballs at the Forest Monster King!

“Roar!”

The Forest Monster King roared furiously but couldn’t catch up to Ji Ye at all.

That was because the Forest Monsters were creatures that lived on trees. They were agile only because of their four thick arms. However, their legs had slightly retrograded, not to mention that Ji Ye had heavily wounded one of the Forest Monster King’s legs with the flying sword.

Under such circumstances, how could it be possible for it to catch up with Ji Ye?

However, as the creature who was likely to reach Extraordinary Rank-5 first on the whole battleground of ten species, it was quite smart and wouldn’t be tricked so easily.

“Roar!”

Realizing that it could not catch Ji Ye, the Forest Monster King howled angrily.

Pop! Crackle!

The one-meter-long sticks that it was holding suddenly emitted purple light. Then, their sizes and lengths increased out of the blue, catching up to Ji Ye who was backing off!

“Eh?”

It was out of Ji Ye’s expectation that the Forest Monster King’s sticks could change like the Monkey King’s bar.

But he wasn’t too surprised. A layer of yellow light popped up on his body and deflected the two sticks.

Crack!

After blocking the attack, the yellow light from Earth’s Boon vanished too.

That was because, while the purple sticks weren’t as destructive as the yellow mallet, both their lengths and their weight had increased when they were enlarged.

When they hit Ji Ye just now, they were as powerful as the white jade flying sword’s outburst just now!

“This pair of sticks are definitely of a high level!”

Ji Ye was quite certain of that.

“Roar!”

After stopping Ji Ye from escaping with the pair of sticks, the Forest Monster King roared and launched a sonic wave attack at him.

The attack missed its target and only blew up the mud and grasses on the ground because Ji Ye had suddenly turned around and jumped back to the Forest Monster King!

Now that it was impossible to finish the battle remotely, he might as well fight a melee one!

Pa!

Ji Ye’s return was completely beyond the Forest Monster King’s anticipation. It had been hit on the chest by Ji Ye’s fist before it was able to protect itself with the shield.

Sizzle!

After Ji Ye’s fist hit it, the Forest Monster King’s metal armor instantly turned red, and smoke was popping up from the point of impact.

The fragrance of barbecue, mixed with the smell of trees being burnt, immediately spread out!
