C7 A Blessing in Disguise

At this moment, not only was the Earth Strength Ape in front of him twice as strong as before, but more importantly, an extremely faint aura was faintly visible on the surface of his body. Although Lei Yan did not possess it yet, he clearly knew that this thing was called Spirit Qi!

In other words, the Rank One Earth Strength Ape in front of him now possessed the strength of a Rank Two. Unless he was a Astral Qi Stage warrior, he would not be his opponent at all. Moreover, Lei Yan was only at the second level of the Tibia Bone Stage realm. Compared to a Third Stage Tibia Bone Stage, but compared to a true Astral Qi Stage, the difference was too great!

Without caring about the sweat dripping down his forehead, a pair of pitch black eyes stared at the Earth Strength Ape that had undergone a mutation. If he was distracted at this moment, he would be severely injured if he was accidentally attacked.

Seeing the explosive muscles and the beast eyes that were completely covered by blood, no matter if it was in terms of strength or speed, they were far from what they could compare with before. What worried Lei Yan even more was the spiritual energy. If the current Earth Strength Ape could release astral spirits, it would undoubtedly be a destructive blow to Lei Yan.

Bang!

A foot stepped out, causing even the ground to shake a little. The palm, which was the size of Lei Yan's head, covered Lei Yan without any fear. Wherever the palm passed, it seemed to carry a strength of several thousand pounds. The sound of the air being torn apart sounded along with it.

Damn it!

Before he could curse, the palm had already landed on Lei Yan's head. What a fast speed! Without thinking too much, his body bounced back. At that instant, That palm directly covered the ground and forcefully created a palm print that was a few feet deep. It looked quite chilling.

The strong wind that came from above caused Lei Yan's scalp to go numb. Seeing the conspicuous palm print that was left behind, Lei Yan's face quickly distorted. If he had not reacted quickly earlier, just this palm was likely enough to turn him into meat paste.

However, Lei Yan did not choose to flee immediately. Instead, he held the sword in his hand once again. His face turned red due to nervousness. Although the attack just now had caused him to have the urge to turn around and leave immediately, the resilience he felt after so many years forced him to once again face the Earth Strength Ape in front of him.

Once again, he barely avoided the approaching body of the Earth Strength Ape. The sword in his right hand stabbed towards his body. Before Lei Yan could stabilize his body, The arms, which were as thick as his own, flashed again, startling him.

In his hurry, Cang had no choice but to protect his chest with both hands and forcefully withstand the Earth Strength Ape's full strength palm.

Bang!

When the flesh palm came into contact with Lei Yan's chest, even though he had his arms protecting him, the sound of ribs breaking still came from within his body. That pair of arms seemed to have been crushed. The sound of bones breaking made Lei Yan have the urge to faint.

Lei Yan, who had flown out, felt his blood clogging up. The great pain made him unable to help but cry out loud in the end.

Boom!

In just two breaths' time, he once again fell down from the sky. He forcefully pulled out a frightening physical imprint, causing his already heavily injured body to be even more tattered. At this moment, Lei Yan's head was dizzy from the heart-wrenching pain. His eyes turned black and the entire world became still.

"Evil creature, stop!"

Just as the Earth Strength Ape behind the Blood Sacrifice was about to once again punch towards Lei Yan, who was breathing extremely weakly, a stern cry mixed with the sound of thunder sounded. Suddenly it rang. In the blink of an eye, a white-clothed old man stood in the sky above the man and beast. However, the Earth Strength Ape's hand seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier. It couldn't go down at all.

At this moment, the Earth Strength Ape, which had discovered something unusual, looked at the human figure standing in the sky. The blood red color in its eyes had completely faded. Fear and extreme fear were mixed within its eyes!

Although the person above did not release any aura, the Devil Beast's natural sensitivity to danger allowed it to know this person. This wasn't a plan that he could afford to provoke. As it looked at that person, a powerless feeling appeared in the Earth Strength Ape's heart. It even felt that as long as the person above was willing... With a flip of his hand, he could destroy himself.

Without any hesitation or doubt, regardless of whether Lei Yan was dead or alive on the ground, it turned around and ran. If he did not run now, he would not even have the chance to run.

"Trying to run, it is too late..."

Looking at the Earth Strength Ape jumping out from the forest and trying to escape, Mu Qingya only gently extended his hand for no reason. His five fingers curled in the direction of the Earth Strength Ape and slowly closed together.

When the fingers had completely gathered, a bang sounded from below. He looked again. The Earth Strength Ape with its huge body was nowhere to be seen. There was only a cluster of blood mist, and the area within a few kilometers was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Just as Mu Qingya was about to save Lei Yan, he raised his brows, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"I never thought that there would be such a treasure. It seems like Young Master's injury isn't a bad thing. Hehe."

Mu Qingya's mind moved after his words sounded. He saw an object flying out of the blood fog. It was merely the size of a dragon eye. However, that bright red color was like a layer of light, causing that object to appear extremely mysterious.

"I've woken up. Originally, I thought that I would need some more time, haha."

The moment he opened his eyes, a familiar voice entered Lei Yan's ears. Looking at the extremely familiar furnishings around him as well as the somewhat familiar human figure, Lei Yan finally let out a slight sigh of relief in his heart.

Just as he was about to sit up on the bed, a wave of intense pain caused Lei Yan's face to appear rather distorted. A cold air emerged from his heart and he could only helplessly lie down once again.

Only at this moment did he notice that his entire body was being controlled tightly. Apart from his face, there seemed to be no place to breathe. At this moment, his entire body seemed to be unable to move. If he moved a little, that piercing pain would immediately attack him.

"Looks like he's not dead yet..."

Closing his eyes, he recalled the scene back then. Lei Yan could not help but feel a lingering fear. That attack... He didn't even have the strength to fight back. Even his weapon didn't break through the Earth Strength Ape's defense. It was truly too powerful. Thinking about it, it should be Elder Mu's appearance in the end that allowed him to save his life. Otherwise, Lei Yan wasn't so naive as to think that the Earth Strength Ape was the one who brought him back.

"Fortunately, I was only unconscious for five days. However, seven or eight of my ribs were broken. My chest was a little collapsed. Even my internal organs were slightly shifted. Not to mention my hands, they were almost completely useless."

It seemed like Elder Mu's words were very ordinary, but in his heart, every word he said made his heart beat wildly. Back then, he had never thought that he would be so seriously injured. After all, even he himself had never expected that this Earth Strength Ape would be so powerful after going through the Blood Sacrifice!

But at least in the end, Young Master was safe and sound. Otherwise, it would really be hard to escape the blame of a hundred deaths. He was even more sorry for the people who had fought to the death for the sake of their escape that night.

"However, I can be considered to have saved my life this time around. After consuming a specialized healing medicine, it is estimated that I will be fine after lying down for half a month." When he said this, Mu Qingya felt a little more relaxed in his heart.

"Although this time, it is extremely dangerous, but I have grown quite a bit. It seems that the true martial artist that you mentioned back then could only truly grow after going through the baptism of blood and fire. It is indeed so. Hehe."

As if he could see the deep guilt hidden in Elder Mu's eyes, Lei Yan quickly said it, but it was also true.

"I just didn't think that I would encounter a Earth Strength Ape that knows the Blood Sacrifice in the end. But Elder Mu, why do I feel that the strength of that Earth Strength Ape isn't a normal improvement after the Blood Sacrifice?"

Thinking of that slap, Lei Yan's body twitched unnaturally. Although that palm strike was very heavy, Lei Yan could faintly feel that even an ordinary Astral Qi Stage warrior wouldn't be able to match it. After all, Elder Mu had personally demonstrated the strength of a Astral Qi Stage warrior to Lei Yan. It was just that one strike. It was much better than Elder Mu's demonstration.

"You're right. Even I didn't expect it. But this time, it was a blessing in disguise."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Elder Mu take out the red object that was the size of a longan... (The Mid-Autumn Festival is about to arrive. Let me tell everyone in advance that the festival is happy!)
