Not daring to be arrogant, Xu Ran’s violent Spiritual Qi suddenly burst out from within the White Ape. He immediately clenched his right hand, lifting the black Stone Rod stuck in the ground, which emitted waves of black aura, creating a violent humming sound, and held it horizontally in front of his chest.

"Boy, you think you can ambush with such insufficient strength? But your speed is still not fast enough!"

"I want to kill you, but it’s as easy as flipping my hand!"

At this moment, the white stream of light that suddenly appeared before the White Ape’s eyes was fully visible. It was a Pocket-sized Flying Sword, its blade glowing with a white stream of light, just like the white light that had treated Xu Binghu earlier.

The white stream of light was like a blossoming flame, crossing in front of the White Ape, and unbeknownst to him, a surge of inexplicable fear rose in his heart.

This Pocket-sized Flying Sword was precisely blocked by the Stone Rod, causing no substantial Damage.

"What... what is this thing? If it hits, it could cause serious injuries or even..." the White Ape thought to himself.

Despite these thoughts, he didn’t show it, only a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Xu Ran looked up, seeing the Pocket-sized Flying Sword in front of the White Ape, a cold smile appearing on his face, "Fool’s talk!"

This time, in the face of the White Ape’s taunts, Xu Ran didn’t use any other Techniques. He merely formed a seal with his fingers, transforming his entire arm into white jade. Innate Qi emerged from it, and he stepped forward, the Innate Qi trembling continuously.

At the same time, the Pocket-sized Flying Sword in front of the White Ape also began to tremble.

Originally, the Pocket-sized Flying Sword and the black Stone Rod made contact, and the White Ape was still holding the Stone Rod in his hand. The violent shaking frequency caused the White Ape’s hands to tremble as well, as if it were a unique reaction from the Stone Rod.

Moments later, the tremors which were initially only on the surface of his body suddenly transmitted inside his body. Uncontrolled, violent Spiritual Qi surged endlessly from within the White Ape.

"Ah!"

Immediate decision.

The White Ape immediately let go, the black Stone Rod fell to the ground. Then, the large black silhouette reappeared behind, waves of black Spiritual Qi rippling out like water. The Pocket-sized Flying Sword swiftly caught the falling Peregrine Falcon and the next moment, returned it to Xu Ran’s side.

Subsequently, Xu Ran transferred a stream of Innate Qi to the Peregrine Falcon, calming its chaotic aura.

"This child’s methods are too bizarre!" thought the White Ape, shaking his hands repeatedly.

This strange backlash was even more terrifying than his Stone Rod, able to directly affect the insides of his body, something even he couldn’t do.

It’s important to note, he’d cultivated in the Great Mountain for a long time, experiencing all sorts of adventures to reach his current Cultivation.

However, the child before him looked like he had been born only a few years ago. Even if he had a Special Constitution, it shouldn’t be possible for him to have such Techniques!

If it really was due to his Constitution, then why hadn’t the King of Yue’s court discovered it?

While the White Ape pondered.

The villagers saw that Xu Ran made the invincible White Ape suffer with just one move. Although it didn’t seem to cause much Damage, saving the Peregrine Falcon from the White Ape’s grasp was already the greatest success.

"Great! Xu Ran might really be able to slay it!"

"Indeed, as long as we held on until Xu Ran woke up, we could solve this White Ape!"

"Believe in Xu Ran!"

"Look at Xu Ran’s aura, it has greatly improved compared to before!"

...

The villagers were talking one after another, extremely excited.

With Xu Ran awake, and with him having swiftly rescued the Peregrine Falcon, it undoubtedly gave the villagers great confidence.

...

Due to the Innate Qi, the Peregrine Falcon had mostly recovered. Its fallen feathers and body wounds were now healed, but the injury was too severe; it needed time to rest or there would be endless troubles.

When it awoke and saw its master Xu Ran, its eyes gleamed brightly, gently nuzzling against him.

Xu Ran stroked the Peregrine Falcon’s head, calmly saying, "You all rest well first. From here on, leave it to me!"

A short sentence brimming with Xu Ran’s absolute confidence, naturally as Xu Ran’s Spirit Pet, the Peregrine Falcon also held absolute faith in him.

While the White Ape pondered.

From the path leading to the Great Mountain entrance, a piercing sound came.

"My King, that human is just a child. No matter how clever his Techniques are, his cultivation time is short and his foundation is weak. Such techniques can only be used a few times, as long as..."

Before he finished speaking.

A white stream of light streaked from the sky, like Lightning passing over the talking White Monkey.

Suddenly, the piercing sound abruptly stopped.

Following the white stream of light, looking over, all that was left was the White Monkey’s body standing there, its head rolling on the ground, staining it red.

The expression on that head was still one of excitement, an excitement from seemingly discovering Xu Ran’s weakness!

The white stream of light arced beautifully in the air before returning to hover above Xu Ran’s head.

"Noisy!" Xu Ran said coldly.

The White Ape stood motionlessly, head lowered. Behind him, the massive black shadow continuously emanated violent Spiritual Qi, creating a dark silent space within five meters of him.

"Good! Very good!"

Moments later, the White Ape slowly raised his head. His originally brutal eyes now glowed with a blood-red light, like eyes from Hell in that dark space.

"You dared to kill my kin before my eyes! You’re the first! And you will be the last!"

Suddenly, tremendous Spiritual Qi erupted. He clenched a large hand, and the Stone Rod with skulls appeared in his hand. The black Rune on it glowed with a dark light, as skulls hovered on it, rushing at Xu Ran.

"Boom---Boom---Boom----"

With each step the White Ape took, it was as though a Great Mountain was charging forward. The land shook violently, and those with low Cultivation could barely stand as their bodies trembled uncontrollably. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Even so, those monkeys descending the mountain were extremely excited seeing their king exuding such terrifying power.

"Chi---Chi---Chi---"

An endless barrage of discordant monkey cries rang out, deafening the ears.

In an instant.

Threads of Innate Qi streamed out of Xu Ran, weaving a large net, enveloping Xu Binghu, Lian Ji, and the Peregrine Falcon, lifting them into the sky. The remaining Innate Qi formed a white barrier in front of him.

"These monkeys are just too noisy!"

Xu Ran said calmly, his face icy, as his finger sharply pointed at the monkeys at the Great Mountain entrance.

The Pocket-sized Flying Sword hovering above received the command, darting like Lightning toward the yelling monkeys.

In that moment.

The Pocket-sized Flying Sword resembled a grass cutter, leaving no life where it passed.

Except, this grass was replaced by monkeys.

The monkeys’ heads rolled one by one to the ground, and with the White Ape’s massive shaking as he ran, those rolling heads formed a peculiar river, streaming into the depths of the Great Mountain.

"Boom---"

The White Ape, wielding the Stone Rod covered in skulls, slammed into the white barrier in front of Xu Ran. Instantly, the dust rose, but it was all thunder and no rain, causing Xu Ran no harm.

...

Meanwhile.

Not far from the Great Wilderness Border Village was a hill from which the village could be seen. The hill had no trees blocking the view, providing an extremely expansive view.

The Three-tailed Fox Demon came to the hill, seeing the scene of the White Ape’s violent aura spreading, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Whoa! This Great Mountain is truly full of hidden talents, could there really be a human who pushed this foolish ape to such an extent?"

Then, her eyes lit with a pink glow, examining closely, she cried out again in amazement.

"This... the one who pushed the foolish ape to this point is a baby who looks no more than two years old?"

Suddenly, the Fox Demon’s worldview seemed to collapse.
