Chapter 251: Buying Later Enjoys Discounts, Buying Early Enjoys Early Use
At this moment, the two people and one beast had completely left the range of the safety zone...
This area of the Ice Snow Realm is a place where even humans dare not tread lightly. Even the most talented students in the Martial Mansion wouldn't dare to come here easily.
Even Han Yun City didn't dare take the risk of coming here lightly.
But now, in this stretch of land...
The two people and one beast were each moving swiftly.
Li Jingjun was at the front, her strength was the weakest, but her figure was light as a swallow. Each step she took covered over ten meters, the Wind Seeking and Snow Returning Technique could release power and replenish energy. She used the pursuit of the Giant Ape behind her to leverage the wind, somewhat similar to Xu Lingjun's Lightweight Step.
The Giant Ape followed closely behind, roaring repeatedly, several times trying to tear apart Li Jingjun and snatch the prey in her hand... but it was constantly thwarted by Gu Xi behind her.
Its anger caused it to roar continuously for a while, wanting to simply turn around to kill that human woman, then go after its prey, yet worrying that human woman might be too troublesome, losing the best chance to pursue.
The greedy beast nature left it unable to make a decision.
Moreover, it clearly sensed that the woman's strength far surpassed its own; blocking it with her life was draining her greatly. If it persisted a while longer, she might become exhausted and die.
The three were at an impasse.
For a moment, it was only a matter of whether Gu Xi could hold out until Li Jingjun reached the safety zone... but at this time, was the safety zone really safe for them?
Demon Beasts dared not tread on the safety zone lightly, fearing to provoke the true wrath of human powerhouses.
But if the temptation was sufficient.
Just like now, the brains of two infant beasts were extremely pure and untainted. Although to Li Jingjun, they were just completely tasteless and even bit disgusting, in the eyes of the Giant Ape, they were the most exquisite delicacy...
Thump ~ thump ~ thump ~ !!!
Every step shook the ground and heavens. As the Giant Ape moved forward, its form was so massive that anything blocking its path was smashed with a casual punch, whether mountain body or ancient woods, even those sturdy ice forms that had existed for centuries couldn't withstand its punch.
Along the way, broken stones, shattered ice, and assorted woods flew wildly.
The violent movements were loud enough that even Xu Lingjun didn't need Xiaoya to detect it from a distance.
Piloting the Nanometer Armor, he flew to this place, landing on a mountaintop.
Then looked in shock at Li Jingjun being chased by the Giant Ape, along with the small transparent box in her hand.
And at this moment.
The giant stone where Xu Lingjun stood happened to block the Giant Ape's path, and it shattered the stone with a punch, sending countless fragments flying like bullets towards Li Jingjun.
Li Jingjun hurriedly dodged, but in the delay, the Giant Ape was already closing in.
Li Jingjun was in a panic, exclaiming in pain, her right leg was bleeding profusely, pierced by a small stone...
She stumbled and couldn't escape any further, seeing that she was about to be crushed by the Giant Ape.
Xu Lingjun couldn't afford to keep hidden, the thrusters burst to full power, turning into a red streak, catching Li Jingjun before the Giant Ape and soaring into the sky.
"Xiaojun!"
Gu Xi called out joyfully from right behind.
The Giant Ape saw its prey flying into the sky, angrily pounding its chest and roaring, leaping up like an arrow, charging towards Xu Lingjun.
Li Jingjun exclaimed, "Careful!"
"I know."
Xu Lingjun's voice echoed dully, under the Nanometer Armor, Xiaoya's power was showcased to the utmost. It even calculated the parabolic trajectory of the Demon Beast's leap with accuracy, and just as its form elevated several feet, the Giant Ape fell without success towards the ground.
Li Jingjun gasped heavily, even in such cold weather she was drenched in sweat, panting, "Senior sister Gu Xi is also down there!"
Xiaoya reminded, "Master, be careful, the Baoxue Giant Ape is a variant from the Baoxue Empire. An adult Baoxue Giant Ape is a Level 8 Demon Beast, unmatched by anything below the Upper Realm!"
"I know, I'm just rescuing people, not fighting it."
Xu Lingjun plunged downward.
But the Giant Ape saw Xu Lingjun rushing towards Gu Xi, seemed to understand his intentions, and roared first, pulling out by its roots a tree with at least a millennium of age, and with force, crafted a large club.
With a flick, the weighty wind pressure shook the Nanometer Armor.
The strength was too immense, Xu Lingjun dared not land, quickly turning to soar back into the sky, and the Giant Ape leaped again, its club expanding its range by dozens of times. Its dexterity rivalled any Martial Tao expert Xu Lingjun had known. The weighty wind pressure made Xu Lingjun vaguely recall the battle between Liu Zhiyuan and Tai Zhengyuan he had witnessed from afar back then.
Even with Xiaoya's reminders, carrying someone was still not nimble enough, and was directly knocked flying by a sweep of the club.
The nanometer armor sparked and splattered.
At the critical moment, Xu Lingjun only had time to shield Li Jingjun in his embrace, and Li Jingjun only had time to protect the box in her arms. The two of them were already heavily smashed into the snow nest.
"Ho ho ho~"
The Giant Ape let out a human-like laugh and leaped towards the direction where Xu Lingjun had fallen.
"Quick, take this box and leave. Don't let these two little ones fall into their hands!"
Li Jingjun, being protected, wasn't really hurt, just felt painfully bruised...
Yet she immediately shoved the box into Xu Lingjun's hand, exhibiting the full extent of a seasoned cat servant, as if trying to buy Xu Lingjun some time.
"No need."
Xu Lingjun wanted to fly again, but the nanometer armor was sparking everywhere, simply unable to lift off, as if it had malfunctioned from the impact.
He could only put away the nanometer armor.
This Giant Ape was powerful. Even after being hit with a stick, despite having two layers of armor, he still felt faint pain.
Especially since the opponent's attack was purely physical, Xu Lingjun didn't absorb a bit of True Qi.
"Xiaojun, go!"
Gu Xi shrieked as she once again entangled the Giant Ape from behind. But then, facing Xu Lingjun with effortless ease, she was now barely holding up in the battle against the Giant Ape, seemingly about to falter at any moment... Especially since the Giant Ape had a weapon in hand, with immense strength and unparalleled agility, akin to a powerful giant Martial Artist.
After a few brief exchanges, she was already in danger of defeat.
Level 8 Demon Beast, impossible to contend without reaching the Upper Realm...
Xu Lingjun took a deep breath, faintly understanding how that adult Ice Snow Leopard had died. In fact, facing this Baoxue Giant Ape, Gu Xi could persist until now entirely because the Giant Ape's focus wasn't on her; otherwise, she might have already been crushed into a pancake.
If I were to be hit by its punch, I would get injured as well, right?
Its power is too strong.
Xu Lingjun forcibly shoved the box into Li Jingjun's arms and said, "I understand it now. If we don't kill it, none of us will escape..."
"What?"
Li Jingjun had only half asked, wanting to know how he intended to kill the Giant Ape.
Xu Lingjun leaped towards the Giant Ape.
Simultaneously, his hand had already reached the small sword at his waist.
Small characters appeared before him as a reminder.
[Detected a false item, Sword of Oath and Victory. Would you like to grant it a real Origin? Consuming 2400 points of Origin Value is required!]
It had gone down in price quite a bit, but the rate was slower than before.
If I wait longer, maybe it will drop further...
But I can't wait any longer.
Get a discount if you buy late, enjoy it sooner if you buy early.
Without hesitation, Xu Lingjun chose to grant the Origin.
During his forward charge, seeing that the Giant Ape had left Gu Xi and was coming at him, Xu Lingjun suddenly gripped his hand tightly.
The familiar sensation...
The Giant Ape swung its stick at Xu Lingjun, who also struck a stance as if holding a sword, leaping towards the massive Giant Ape.
There was clearly nothing in his hand, yet the wooden stick in the Giant Ape's hand, which was almost thicker than Xu Lingjun and Li Jingjun hugging tightly together, suddenly split from the top towards the center, and at this moment, Xu Lingjun was already within arm's reach of the Giant Ape.
The Giant Ape's eyes revealed a fierce grin.
But the next moment, as the opponent drew nearer, an immense sense of crisis surged in its heart.
It unhesitatingly dodged back...
Instinctively raised its arm to block.
With a light swishing sound.
Its enormous arm was directly severed neatly from the elbow. From start to finish, it couldn't even see where the weapon was.
