Chapter 183: Chapter 123: Divine Soul Slays the Demon Ape, Third Place in Celestial Soul Hall!

In the dark cave, the Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape fought against three, withstanding Qi Chuan and his two allies’ attacks using magical artifacts from different directions. It defended skillfully.

Boom!

A loud bang.

The Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape crossed its arms, blocking an attack from Zhao Tao’s Upper Grade Magical Artifact, sending him flying backward.

"Humph!"

Not far away, Zhao Tao grunted as the mana fluctuated violently around him, leaving his breath unstable.

"Roar!"

The Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape let out a furious roar, a thread of violent blood-red light shone in its pupils, its body instantly enlarged, becoming taller and more robust. The black magic rock on its body cracked and splintered, yet its constitution and strength abruptly advanced a tier.

"Not good, this Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape has entered a berserk state!"

Seeing this, Guan Fei’s expression turned fearful. Initially, the Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape could handle all three of them. Now in its berserk state, its power increased threefold, how could they contend with it?

Might this expedition to the Great Rift Demon Valley surely end in failure?

"Prepare to retreat."

Guan Fei hesitated; meanwhile, not far away, Zhao Tao took a deep breath and spoke up. Upon seeing the creature enter a berserk state, he knew the outcome of this encounter had been decided.

This was even with an extra person. If Qi Chuan hadn’t joined them, if the two of them alone encountered the berserk Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape, whether they could leave safely would be uncertain.

"I’ll cover you!"

Hearing his friend Zhao Tao’s words, Guan Fei didn’t hesitate. Among the group, he was at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer, possessing the highest cultivation and strongest power, and was positioned further in, making him suitable for covering the retreat.

As for Zhao Tao, who was at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, although somewhat strategic, his strength was one notch lower. It would be risky for him to cover the retreat.

Regarding the unexpected addition, Qi Chuan, the power he displayed was only at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer level, even though it seemed slightly superior to the average Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivator.

Upon Guan Fei’s words, Zhao Tao immediately made a move towards the cave’s entrance, yet his eyes remained on Guan Fei. The two had been friends for years and often cooperated, gaining rich experience, so they wouldn’t hesitate; otherwise, facing the berserk Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape, the longer they dragged, the more likely problems would occur.

Swoosh!

Guan Fei’s eyes locked onto the Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape, gritting his teeth, he expended all his mana from his Dantian. Two three-inch bladeless flying knives, with tips in red and blue hues, aligned together, merged into a Double-Bladed Strange Blade, and spun speedily toward the Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape’s eyes.

Mana rapidly depleted from his Dantian, giving him a sense of powerlessness.

This Top Grade Magical Artifact, only with this form, was slightly stronger than ordinary Top Grade Magical Artifacts. Its ordinary dual-knife form was merely an enhanced version of a Tier One Upper Grade Magical Artifact.

Under normal circumstances, such a strike could injure the Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape but would leave him weak in mana afterward, hard to maintain further pursuit, hence had never been used. But now, it was perfect for covering their retreat.

After such a strike, he would retreat immediately, allowing Zhao Tao to take the frontline, enabling both to leave safely one after the other.

"So decisive?"

On the other side, seeing this, Qi Chuan was somewhat surprised.

These two had excellent magical combat experience.

However, by doing this, it seemed the two were temporarily giving up on the Dust Suppressing Grass and Life and Death Flower. Only after returning to the sect and seeking reinforcements could they attempt again.

But knowing there was Dust Suppressing Grass and Life and Death Flower inside, he could not leave without collecting them today; when the two returned, they would only find an empty cave.

"Forget it, I’ll help them."

Qi Chuan sighed.

His gaze turned to the berserk Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape in the distance. A hint of ghostly light flashed deep in his calm pupils, unnoticeable in the dark cave, it swiftly shot into the head of the Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape nearby.

Offensive Divine Soul Secret Technique, Ninefold Soul Torture Technique!

"Roar!!!!"

As a demon beast, the Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape’s Demon Soul was naturally weak and at a disadvantage when facing soul attacks.

The previously berserk Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape turned its head, its eyes catching sight of the incoming Double-Bladed Strange Blade from Guan Fei, a fierce glint shot through its eyes as it raised its arms, ready to act.

But in the next moment, it seemed suddenly struck heavily, holding its head with both hands, letting out a heart-wrenching scream that echoed through the cave, alarming everyone present.

Witnessing this, both Guan Fei and Zhao Tao were startled.

Also under their watchful eyes, the out-of-control Giant Strength Demon Rock Ape was directly struck in the eyes by Guan Fei’s Double-Bladed Strange Blade Top Grade Magical Artifact, causing blood to flow profusely, its eye sockets turned inside out—the Tier One Peak Demon Beast was blinded!

This scene left Guan Fei and Zhao Tao extremely shocked.

Especially Guan Fei, he knew that his strike could injure the Demon Ape, but it could avoid, resulting in some damage. However, it was unimaginable for it to completely lose its sight.

Moreover, the fact that it didn’t dodge but took the hit from the Top Grade Magical Artifact head-on was not just about its eyes; its skull likely sustained significant injury, leaving it considerably crippled.

"Kill!"

Although shocked at how this unfolded, Zhao Tao, after a brief moment of daze, still shouted. His retreating figure was once again wielding his magical artifact, pushing forward aggressively.
