Chapter 686: Chapter 281: Spreading the Great Wilderness Border Village’s Renown!

Great Wilderness Border Village.

Gazes stared in shock at the Peregrine Falcon that had been knocked back by the White Ape, and for a moment, the hopeful expressions of the onlookers turned dull, extinguishing the glimmer of hope that had just risen for the villagers.

In the village, apart from the Sick Tiger, the strongest contender on the surface was the spirit pet raised by the Xu Family—the small white-feathered Peregrine Falcon. With a wingspan of a full sixty centimeters, it possessed abilities and methods unmatched by ordinary people, with a pair of piercing, falcon-like eyes that were particularly intimidating.

Its very appearance gave hope to the entire village!

After all.

The villagers were not foolish.

Even if they handed over Xu Ran obediently, they feared they would not survive much longer. Could they truly trust the monster’s words?

Moreover.

Xu Binghu would never agree!

So the only choice was to find a way to repel the White Ape! To exalt the name of Great Wilderness Border Village!!!!!!

The appearance of the Peregrine Falcon gave them hope, but now, the White Ape had smashed that hope to pieces.

"This... this White Ape’s strength is too formidable! Even the Peregrine Falcon was repelled with a single blow!"

Old Qi watched the towering buildings of each household collapse thunderously, astonished at the unexpected outcome.

"Rustle rustle---"

Amidst the ruins, Little White lay on the ground, spread its wings, and shook off the boulders pressing down on it, standing up with resolute eyes, unscathed save for some dust. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The previous strike, although imposing in appearance, did not actually cause any damage, primarily intending to teach these ungrateful people a lesson.

Next, the real battle would commence.

The Peregrine Falcon instantly vanished from its original position, reappearing moments later high in the cloudless sky, with white vortices swirling around it, proudly overlooking the White Ape below.

The White Ape, discerning the Peregrine Falcon’s intent, removed the black stone rod from its back, grasped it in its hand, and pounded it into the ground with great force, shaking the surrounding land.

"Roar---"

The White Ape let out a roar that echoed through the mountains and forests, and the overwhelming battle intent poured out, causing everyone present to experience a ringing in their ears.

At this moment.

The Peregrine Falcon remained in the sky, allowing the roar and battle intent emitted by the White Ape to envelop it entirely. Its faintly golden feathers appeared suddenly, and within its sharp eyes was also a hint of pride.

"Hoo---"

Suddenly.

A silent breeze brushed across the Peregrine Falcon’s face.

"Swish---"

In the next moment, a fierce whooshing sound came from the sky; even from a thousand meters away, it was clearly audible.

Upon closer look, the Peregrine Falcon had disappeared.

"Where did the Peregrine Falcon go?"

"It disappeared in an instant. This spirit pet is incredibly fast!"

"It feels like there’s a chance!!"

The villagers, seeing the Peregrine Falcon disappear, began to chatter, and the hope that had been extinguished in their hearts ignited once again.

The White Ape looked at the spot where the Peregrine Falcon had vanished, grinned, and gripped the stone rod tightly, then positioned it in front of its chest.

"Clang----"

A crisp and resonant sound suddenly rang out, and a flash of fire rose instantly before the White Ape’s eyes, while that black stone rod now emitted a faint black glow.

Following the sound, they saw that the Peregrine Falcon had already appeared before the White Ape, its incredibly sharp claws only a fraction of an inch from the White Ape’s eyes.

Seeing its attack fail, the Peregrine Falcon immediately ascended again, letting out a sharp cry, then once more charged toward the White Ape at lightning speed.

This time, it didn’t vanish from everyone’s sight like before. Having experienced it twice, it clearly understood that no matter how fast it was, it would be blocked by the White Ape; the White Ape’s speed was no less than its own.

Even if its trace vanished from sight, by attacking with all its strength, its form would inevitably be revealed, and in that brief moment, the White Ape could react.

This time.

The Peregrine Falcon utilized all its speed, exceeding the combined speed of its previous attempts, like a shooting star plummeting down, igniting a fiery red trail in the sky as it smashed toward the White Ape.

This strike from the Peregrine Falcon, no matter who faced it, could easily inflict serious damage.

However, confronted by the Peregrine Falcon hurtling toward it, the White Ape stood unmoved, its eyes merely fixed intently on the incoming Peregrine Falcon with a trace of mockery.

Then, it lowered the stone rod in its hand, stepped back with one foot, clenched its five fingers into a fist, and threw a punch. In the next instant, it collided heavily with the rapidly approaching Peregrine Falcon.

This time, when facing the Peregrine Falcon, the White Ape once again chose to meet force with force.

At the moment of contact, the Peregrine Falcon’s expression paled significantly.

The clash of talons and fists immediately produced a vortex of chaos, dispersing outward centered on the falcon and the ape.

The trees lining the sides of the forest path swayed and rustled in the turbulent wind, some smaller trees even uprooted and drifting in the air.

In an instant, everyone present was buffeted by the sudden gusts, rendered unsteady. The winds kicked up the surrounding yellow dust, obscuring their view.

"The pressure is terrifying, merely from the two sides clashing, leaving us unable to muster any will to resist!!"

"With the cultivation of the White Ape and the Peregrine Falcon, if we weren’t compelled to stay here, we wouldn’t even dare to watch!"

"The Peregrine Falcon must win!"

"With such a battle, even if Xu Ran wakes up, can he get involved?"

...

The villagers covered their eyes, unable to see the surrounding scene, further amplifying the fear in their already panicked hearts.
