Chapter 2794: Question
Shen Yue shuddered.
Not only did the emerald green light destroy his Illusory Sword Dao, it also struck the weakest point of his immortal sword and was extremely powerful. His arm that wielded the sword shuddered and he felt a sense of numbness! Shen Yue focused his gaze. The emerald green light was a green sword with a sharp edge that was even above his Destiny Immortal Sword!
His attack was obstructed and the trajectory of his sword deviated. The power of his immortal sword dissipated and he was naturally no longer a threat to the female ape in front of him.
However, the female ape’s eyes shone with a sanguine light without any intention of stopping.
The green sword did not stop at all. The moment it separated from Shen Yue’s immortal sword, it suddenly s.h.i.+fted sideways and landed on the female ape, flicking the latter gently.
The green sword was not even as thick as the arm of the female ape. However, with such a casual flick, the female ape’s charge stopped immediately. Her tall body was thrown high and she landed steadily on the ground.
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat when they saw that.
At the same time that the green sword broke through the Illusory Sword Dao, it collided with Shen Yue’s immortal sword and released an incomparably ferocious power.
In a flash, the green sword landed on the female ape and transformed into a gentle force.
The change between toughness and gentleness revealed the exquisite control the sword wielder had over his strength.
“Who is it?!’1
Shen Yue hollered and took a deep breath. He circulated his blood qi and held his sword horizontally in front of his chest. He took a step back and focused on defense.
“Peak Master Su?”
Shen Yue turned around and saw Su Zimo standing not far away with the green sword in his hands.
Lin Xunzhen, w.a.n.g Dong and the others were stunned as well.
Earlier on, they only saw a figure flash past them. To think that the person who attacked was Su Zimo!
What was going on?
Peak Master Su could actually see through Brother Shen’s Illusory Sword Dao and even force him back with a single strike?
w.a.n.g Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others exchanged glances and could see the confusion and disbelief in each other’s eyes.
The greatest possibility was that Shen Yue did not use his full strength and Peak Master Su Zhu acc.u.mulated all his strength to attack him unprepared, resulting in the earlier effect.
In reality, Su Zimo had only used 30% of his strength earlier on because he was afraid of injuring Shen Yue.
“Peak Master Su Zhu, what’s the meaning of this?”
Shen Yue frowned and his expression darkened with a hint of anger in his tone. Earlier on, Su Zimo stopped him from killing that monkey cub. Although he was displeased, he did not say anything.
After all, the monkey cub that was a few months old posed no threat to them and did not possess any Battle Merits.
However, the female ape in front of him clearly had strong hostility towards them. Furthermore, they could obtain ten Battle Merits by killing this female ape. Now that Peak Master Su Zhu stopped him again, Shen Yue could not help but feel a little angry.
Furthermore, both parties had just exchanged blows!
This was much more serious than mere verbal disputes.
When w.a.n.g Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others saw that, they hurried over. Although everyone did not say anything, they looked at Su Zimo with doubt.
“Peak Master Su Zhu.”
Shen Yue said in a deep voice, “Although your cultivation realm is inferior to mine, you’re a Peak Master. As such, I’ve never ever looked down on you in the slightest.”
“Peak Master Su, I’d like to ask you about your intentions. It’s fine that you protected that monkey cub earlier on, but what’s the meaning of you saving this beast now?”
Lin Xunzhen, w.a.n.g Dong and the others looked at Su Zimo as well.
Indeed, they could not understand Su Zimo’s actions.
When the female ape saw so many top experts running out of the cave, she quietened down as well. The red light in her eyes gradually retracted and she did not attack rashly.
Furthermore, through Shen Yue’s words earlier on, she at least knew that her child was not dead!
The female ape looked at Su Zimo’s back view and a hint of doubt flashed through her eyes. She did not understand why this Perfected Spirit from the outside world would appear to save her and even protect her child.
Although she did not know the reason, the female ape could vaguely sense that the green-robed man was not hostile towards her.
“I have a few questions I want to ask her.”
Su Zimo said.
“And then?”
Shen Yue stared fixedly at Su Zimo and asked.
Su Zimo was silent.
“Forget it, forget it.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, w.a.n.g Dong coughed gently and stood out to smooth things over. “This beast is useful to Peak Master Su. Let Peak Master Su ask him first before we talk.”
As he said that, w.a.n.g Dong nudged Shen Yue, indicating for him to go out and calm down first lest they had more conflicts.
Shen Yue took a few steps and sneered when he saw that w.a.n.g Dong and the others were still there. “Peak Master Su wants to question the beast. Why are you guys still there?”
w.a.n.g Dong said, “I’ll watch over here to prevent this beast from injuring others.”
Shen Yue pursed his lips. “As a Peak Master, Peak Master Su Zhu repelled me with a casual attack. Do you think he needs your protection, Brother w.a.n.g?” w.a.n.g Dong glanced at Su Zimo with an awkward expression.
Su Zimo had a calm expression and was not angry.
After all, Shen Yue was the number one of Illusory Sword Peak. It was understandable for him to be indignant that his Illusory Sword Dao was dispelled by a single attack.
Furthermore, as a Peak Master, he could not be bothered to argue with Shen Yue.
Suddenly, Lin Xunzhen said, “You guys can leave. I’ll guard here.”
w.a.n.g Dong and the others naturally had no objections to Lin Xunzhen’s words. Shen Yue shrugged and turned to leave.
Lin Xunzhen took a few steps back, giving Su Zimo and the female ape sufficient s.p.a.ce.
At the same time, if anything happened at that distance, she would be able to attack in time!
Right then, the young monkey in the cave heard the commotion outside and crawled out as well. When it saw the female ape, its face was filled with joy as it cried out.
When the female ape saw the young monkey, the malevolent aura on her body vanished instantly and her gaze softened.
All living beings had maternal instincts.
The female ape leaned forward and hugged the young monkey. After checking that there were no injuries, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Of course, the female ape still looked at Su Zimo warily.
Su Zimo arrived in front of the female ape and circulated his True Essence, condensing an ancient mirror in his palm that revealed the image of Monkey. “He’s also from your Sanguine Ape race. Do you know him?”
Su Zimo asked.
The female ape looked at the image on the ancient mirror with a confused expression. She stared at it for a while before shaking her head.
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief.
From the looks of it, Monkey should not be in the Evil Fiend Battlefield.
At the same time, he was a little disappointed that he did not obtain any news about Monkey.
The female ape was covered in injuries and licked the wounds on her body carefully with a fatigued expression.
“Where’s his father?”
Su Zimo asked.
The female ape paused in her licking and fell silent.
After a long while, she said, “He died in battle.”
What she meant was probably that he was killed by the living beings of the ten thousand races that descended here.
In the Evil Fiend Battlefield, even an adult Perfected Spirit Sanguine Ape could face danger at any moment, let alone a cub.
Even so, the female ape did not abandon her child and was even willing to fight to the death!
Was this the so-called Sin Spirit?
Su Zimo could not sense any difference between the female ape before him and the living beings of the trichiliocosm.
The only difference was that she bore the t.i.tle of a Sin Spirit..
