Chapter 40: Chapter 38: Could it be Coveting the Treasured Technique?_i

The Jiao Snake was surrounded by a dark glow pulsating like thunder and lightning, accompanied by the crisp sound of crackling. The spear above its head shimmered with a menacing cold light. Both the momentum and the sound were several times stronger than before.

Its heart screamed a wild warning. If it continued to hold back, it might very well perish here today. However, even after unleashing its most potent attack, the Jiao Snake was still frightened.

The pressure from the few humans before it was too overpowering. Their power was astonishingly mighty, totally different from what it had encountered before.

“Hiss!!!”

Lin Zhuang held the lead, his fist lunged out like a dragon, stirring up a furious gust of wind in his movements.

Lin Chen and the others closely followed, equalling in their formidable presence, as if they’d transformed into humanoid Ferocious Beasts.

Lin Xin Tong and Tu Dequan, who had conducted the most comprehensive study on the Treasured Technique, knew the evolution of Treasure Runes by heart. As they flipped them over like flowing water, their proficiency was extremely startling.

Their bodies dramatically grew close to five meters in height, their whole bodies bursting with a greyish-white light.

Moreover, behind these two were the huge shadowy figures of an ape-like specter, standing tall and fierce, baring its teeth and snarling at the Jiao Snake. This was the result of cultivating the Ferocious Ape Body to a certain extent, a fierce form of attack.

“Boom!”

An explosion sound as if land had collapsed rang out.

Mid-air, two different Treasured Techniques collided violently, instantly leveling the surrounding area. Stones were scattered, the ground shook, and even the giant trees that took five or six people to encircle could not escape, directly shattered to pieces.

Both of these Treasured Techniques were extraordinary. One focused on defense while the other, on the offense. Both could, however, unleash terrifying power.

Eventually, the Treasured Technique of the Jiao Snake seemed slightly stronger, breaking through the humans’ Ferocious Ape Body and repelling them.

However, thanks to their Treasured Techniques, the group was not severely injured.

“Hahaha, invigorating!”

Lin Zhuang was the first to rise, being the sturdiest among them, his recovery the quickest. Despite feeling the sting in his flesh as if needles were pricking him, he leaped up again, diving down like a mighty eagle.

“Bang ~”

Lin Zhuang’s relentless attack didn’t waver. His fist, massive as a pot, blasted through the air, hitting directly on the Jiao Snake’s body.

Without the Rune Spear for offense and defense, the Jiao Snake was no match for this punch. The force of tens of thousands of pounds came crushing down, directly knocking off several of its scales, its blood splattering everywhere. The Jiao Snake howled. The dark light around its body gathered again, aiming to use the Treasured Technique once more.

Lin Zhuang didn’t give it a chance, grabbing the Jiao Snake’s head directly, his legs wrapped tightly around it. In the next moment, his Iron Fist rained down like droplets, breaking the Snake’s attempt to use another Treasured Technique.

Meanwhile,

Lin Xin Tong charged from one side, her Ferocious Ape Body gathered again. After the greyish-white light once again enveloped her body, Lin Xin Tong extended her hands and grasped the tumour atop the Jiao Snake’s head like large fan-shaped hands holding tight.

This tumour seemed to be the Jiao Snake’s weak point. Once she got hold of it, the Jiao Snake went berserk, its body trembling violently, trying to shake the ’ pair off.

Moreover,

A dark beam of light suddenly burst from the Jiao Snake’s mouth.

The black light was so majestic it directly pierced Lin Zhuang’s body.

Lin Zhuang instantly felt like he was hit by a bull, a rank taste filled his throat and his body was pushed away, unable to resist, he flew out and crashed heavily onto the rocks.

“Big Brother!”

Lin Xin Tong’s face changed.

This young girl completely revealed her craziness. The grey-white light shines brightly from her hands, and the shadow of the ferocious ape behind her became more solid, transforming into even larger rune-etched monkey palms. With a clap, the giant strength directly crushed the lump on the top of the Jiao Snake’s head.

Finally, the snake meets its end and its huge clumsy body falls heavily, stirring up rolling thick smoke…

“Still not dead.” Lin Zhuang furrowed his brows tightly, forced a bitter smile, and a trace of blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.

The dark light that spurted out from the Jiao Snake’s mouth was clearly its Essence, on top of this he was so close to it, that it directly pierced through his abdomen.

It was only because Lin Zhuang’s flesh and blood had long been tempered to be incredibly solid, that only his organs were slightly shaken. If it were anyone else, they would likely have been torn into pieces on the spot.

“Let me have a look at this ferocious beast!”

As soon as Lin Zhuang thought of the Jiao Snake potentially housing a Treasured Bone, his heart couldn’t help but pound, even his sense of pain seemed to diminish a lot.

He had a lot of healing herbs on him, which was why he didn’t worry too much about his injuries.

One day.

They dissected the body of the Jiao Snake. True enough, they discovered a Treasured Bone, the whole bone was crystal clear, shimmering with a dazzling light.

Plus, there was a circulating Rune on it that kept changing, it was truly extraordinary.

“Why is there only one Rune on it?” Tu Wa Zi Tu Dequan was puzzled. He remembered very clearly when he first learned the Ferocious Ape Body Treasure Technique, it was densely recorded with many minuscule runes.

“My father once said, the strength of a Treasured Technique cannot be measured by the number of Runes. Treasured Techniques derived from ferocious beasts are often simple yet unimaginably powerful. Although this Treasured Bone appears simple and only has one Rune, it is however unpredictable, with many other Runes contained within it. It changes all the time and one can only further cultivate it if they remember all the changes in the Rune.”

Lin Xin Tong’s eyes were bright and clear, she had spent a deeper amount of time studying Treasured Techniques and knew things the others didn’t.

“So, this is still a good thing?”

Lin Zhuang grinned, his face turned into a flower, and he felt that his desperate fight was completely worth it.

“Take the body of this Jiao Snake with us and let’s head back to the village.” Lin Zhuang waved his large hand and decreed.

Although Beast Meat can be stored for a long time, the strong smell of blood would quickly attract other predators. The last time, it didn’t matter as much because the Black Python Protector was by their side, but now there were only a few of them. It is always better to be safe than sorry, especially since he was seriously injured at the moment. If they encountered another ferocious beast, it would be tough to be as fierce as they were just now.

However, just as Lin Zhuang and the others were about to start their return journey, there was a sudden rustling from the nearby bushes.

The sound was not loud, but it was still noticed by the group.

“Who’s there, come out!”

Lin Zhuang shouted in a cold tone, his eyes sharp as lightning.

“We’re just passing through, brothers.”

The moment the voice fell.

From behind the bushes, more than ten brawny men jumped out,

The leader was wild, wearing a Beast Robe decorated with patterns. His robust body shines like a tiger or leopard, his tough ancient skin was bronze, his black hair was draped over his shoulders, and he carried broadswords weighing more than two hundred pounds.

“Passersby, I think you’re looking to steal my Ferocious Beast and Treasured Bone!” Lin Zhuang raised an eyebrow, his entire body ready to spring into action..
