Chapter 687: Chapter 281: Spreading the Great Wilderness Border Village’s Renown! (Part 2)

The same.

As attendants of the White Ape, a group of monkeys on the giant tree were equally terrified, watching the scene unfold before them.

All the monkeys clung tightly to the branches in their hands. The fierce gale left them no room for relaxation; otherwise, they would only be blown away.

As the first general under the White Ape, one of the only two white monkeys that could speak could now stand steadily on the branch.

"I didn’t expect such a small border village would have a raptor with such cultivation, reluctantly able to confront our king."

There was quite a bit of surprise in this monkey’s tone.

Previously, the outskirts of the Great Mountain were places where beasts resided. When people from the Great Wilderness Border Village went hunting, they would often suffer considerable casualties even against ordinary beasts.

In such a weak little village, someone actually raised a Spirit Pet, and this Spirit Pet’s strength was not low.

Its eyes, filled with calculation, looked at the Peregrine Falcon and estimated, "The strength of this Peregrine Falcon is much stronger than mine, but..."

Suddenly, an endless frenzy appeared in its small eyes, staring at the White Ape.

"It’s simply incomparable to our king; their cultivation is worlds apart. Now it seems to be evenly matched, but in reality, it’s just a starter dish. The king’s true strength has not yet been displayed!!"

...

At this moment.

In the center of the vortex.

The White Ape’s white fur was blown around by the gale, appearing disheveled. In reality, its entire body remained unmoved, very relaxed.

"Is this all you got, Peregrine Falcon?" The White Ape looked mockingly at the Peregrine Falcon in front of it, tauntingly speaking.

The Peregrine Falcon’s eyes sharpened, showing an unwilling expression. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Peregrine Falcon was fully aware that with its current strength against the White Ape, it couldn’t shake it in the slightest; it was not a match for this White Ape.

However, its master Xu Ran was currently asleep. Even if it was not a match, even if it meant risking its life, it had to stop the White Ape from taking Xu Ran away; even if it meant dying, it would die only after its master Xu Ran awakened.

Instantly, the unwillingness in the Peregrine Falcon’s eyes turned into a firm resolve, a determination to face death unflinchingly.

"Pffft---"

The White Ape saw through the Peregrine Falcon’s intentions and couldn’t help but sneer, its eyes then turning fierce.

"Since you want to protect your master so badly, then you can die alongside him. Just right, one person and one falcon, you can be companions on the road to the afterlife!"

Having said that.

The aura around the White Ape surged once more, and the previously balanced situation was instantly overturned, causing the vortex to disperse.

Immediately, a faint golden figure was sent flying out of the vortex.

"Boom---boom---boom---"

The Peregrine Falcon’s body crashed through dozens of giant trees, each several dozen meters tall, lining both sides of a forest pathway. Monkeys on the trees were also flung away until the Peregrine Falcon’s body slammed into the mountain behind it, finally coming to a stop.

However, at this moment, the Peregrine Falcon’s body was embedded in it, continuously dripping bright red blood, staining its originally golden feathers crimson red, the deep pit in the mountain behind dyed a blood-red as well.

The entrance to the somewhat chaotic Great Wilderness Border Village fell silent at this moment; even Xu Binghu, who had always had absolute confidence in the Peregrine Falcon, stood there in disbelief, staring at the scene before him.

In his eyes, the Peregrine Falcon, with supreme cultivation, had been defeated just like that, and lost so miserably, blood continuously flowing.

Seeing this scene, Lian Ji also looked distressingly at the Peregrine Falcon, and although there was some distance between them, she could clearly see the blood continuously flowing from its body.

Over the past year, the Peregrine Falcon had indeed done a lot for the Xu Family. Every day, it would bring back a prey large enough from the Great Mountain, ensuring their family had no worries for food and clothing.

It even saved the Xu Family from dire situations multiple times, naturally forming a deep bond with the Peregrine Falcon.

Now that the Peregrine Falcon was so heavily injured, to say she wasn’t distressed would be a lie.

"Is... is the White Ape’s strength really unstoppable?"

Old Qi stared dazedly at the White Ape’s back, its five-meter tall frame like an insurmountable Great Mountain, making the entire Great Wilderness Border Village feel like they had no hope of ever catching up no matter how hard they tried for a lifetime.

Suddenly, a feeling of despair rose from within him, and he knelt to the ground, staring powerlessly at the sky.

"Could it be, heaven seeks the demise of our Great Wilderness Border Village?!!"

...

The White Ape shook its fists and gripped the Stone Rod once more, "I haven’t tasted blood food for a long time, unexpectedly got carried away playing with you ants for so long."

Then it set its gaze on that cluster of purple light.

"After I eat this human, I will grant you a painless death!"

With that said.

It started walking towards Xu Ran step by step, the terrifying aura it emitted made everyone afraid to get close. Every step felt like it was pronouncing a death sentence on Xu Ran.

"Beast, stop!"

Hearing this, Xu Binghu snapped back to reality. Seeing the White Ape gradually approaching Xu Ran, he was furious, drawing a machete from his waist, dense Spiritual Qi erupted from his body, faintly surrounded by a light fog. It looked similar to the fog that once rose in the Great Mountain, only not as dense.

"Beast, regardless of your cultivation, no matter what you want to do to us, if you want to harm little Ran, you’ll have to step over my corpse first!"

The Spiritual Qi surged within him, and feeling that tidal wave of power, Xu Binghu suddenly felt a surge of confidence. Watching the Peregrine Falcon’s earlier actions, it seemed he too could put up a fight.

After saying that, Xu Binghu shot towards the White Ape like an arrow, gripping the blade with both hands, and fiercely slashing at the White Ape. Although not as fast as the Peregrine Falcon, the power was still not to be underestimated.

"Oh? Interesting?!"

The White Ape looked at Xu Binghu’s form, suddenly a bit intrigued.

Staring at the incoming Xu Binghu, it merely placed the Stone Rod against its chest, the intense aura within it burst forth once more, sweeping towards Xu Binghu.

Like Gravity Suppression, an overwhelming pressure suddenly appeared over Xu Binghu, yet the faint fog surrounding his body wiped out this pressure entirely, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, the White Ape’s eyes instantly lit up.

"It seems, you father and son are not simple!"

With that said, gripping the rod in its right hand, the white fur on its arm stood upright like a myriad of needles, then swung fiercely forward, precisely colliding with the advancing Xu Binghu.

This strike from the White Ape seemed ordinary, but contained boundless power, a power Xu Binghu currently could not bear.

The wind from the rod, even shook the air, emitting a low humming ’whoosh’ sound.

Though Xu Binghu was worried about rescuing his son, this didn’t mean he lost all his rationality, and in the next moment, he made a change in strategy.

He quickly took down another machete from his waist, crossing the two blades in front of his chest.

Just as the change was completed, the terrifying Stone Rod arrived.

"Bang---"

With a loud crash, Xu Binghu’s figure was hurled backward.

Xu Binghu braced his feet against the ground, body leaning back to release force. Even so, he left a long drag mark on the ground.

After coming to a complete stop, Xu Binghu suddenly relaxed his hands, with a ’clang’, the two machetes fell to the ground. On closer inspection, his hands were now continuously shaking.

This was due to the severe shock force Xu Binghu’s hands endured, causing them to tremble uncontrollably.

"It seems that prior fog in the Great Mountain has something to do with you!"

The White Ape looked at Xu Binghu and said indifferently.

A month ago, a fog appeared in the Great Mountain, entrapping all the demon beasts within, and they didn’t know why such a scenario occurred.

The White Ape was trapped in the Great Mountain for five days, long enough to etch that fog into its memory.

It thought it would never again encounter such a strange fog again in this lifetime, yet, unexpectedly, it saw it again on a weak human, truly surprising!
