Enraged, the giant golden ape bellowed viciously, but could not help shuddering when it saw Jiang He's and Wang Hou's faces, and stammered, "Jiang … Jiang He … Wang Hou?"
Being a Daemon King that had lived for centuries, it had countless Ferals and Ferals under its command even though it had not left Skull Island for centuries. Naturally, it had built its own intelligence system.
Though it had become harder to obtain information about the Hua Nation over the last two months, the ape king knew about Jiang He and Wang Hou.
It was not aware that Jiang He had destroyed the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance and fought in outer space, even killing many Heavenly Immortals, True Immortals, and Golden Immortals. However, it knew that Jiang He had wiped out the Penglai Sect and the Green Hill Foxes, as well as subjugating every immortal sect, demonic sect, and daemon cultivator in the Hua Nation.
Just this point alone was enough to strike fear into Ape's heart.
Therefore, the ferocious ape king promptly withdrew its aura, its ugly face even showing signs of ingratiation.
Jiang He glanced at the ape king and sighed dejectedly, "What a shame. That ape is a little too cowardly, and here I was thinking of finding a reason to kill it … now that it's acting like this, I can't do it."
Beside him, Wang Hou could not help laughing and said, "It's just a Mahayana-tier ape king. At most, it has some divine beast bloodline, but its real combat ability is a class below average Heavenly Immortals. Wouldn't killing it be a walk in the park?"
"That won't do."
Jiang He shook his head and said seriously, "I, Jiang He, am a man of reason. Though I've killed thousands or even tens of thousands of people every day in less than a year since I started cultivating, I have my reasons for killing them. How could I kill an ape king for no reason?"
The golden ape king shuddered.
Killing thousands or even tens of thousands of people every day in less than a year?
Are you bragging?
Doesn't that mean that you've killed tens of millions of people in less than a year?
In fact, Jiang He was not bragging. Instead, he had miscalculated and said much less. Leaving aside the number of Ferals he had slain, he had killed hundreds of Sky Demon Cultists and millions of Sky Demon legionnaires since he had started on the path of cultivation …
In the battle of the Black Demon Star of the Sky Demon Star, the Hundred Races Alliance's legion alone numbered in the tens of millions, and that did not even include the natives of the planet.
One had to know that the Black Demon Star was a large habitable planet with a diameter of more than 100,000 kilometers, nearly 20 times the size of Earth. Even if the living conditions were worse and the population density was much lower than Earth's, there were still billions of people on the planet.
In this way, it would be more than a few hundred thousand a day.
Jiang He did not even count the humans and daemons he killed here and there.
He spoke casually, but the Golden Ape King was so frightened that its liver trembled. It opened its mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.
That was when Jiang He's eyes lit up.
He turned around and looked at the trembling golden ape. "Right, I heard that this guy launched several strikes of beasts, which led to the destruction of several small countries in the West. Even the stronger countries suffered great losses. Several base cities were destroyed and nearly 300 million people were killed or injured …"
Thump!
The golden ape immediately knelt down.
Shuddering, it said, "Spare me, Lord Jiang He. I've never harmed a single Hua Nation citizen … I've even restrained the culprits of Skull Island so that they wouldn't harm a single Hua Nation citizen."
"That's why I launched the Feral Swarm and attacked the western countries for revenge."
Beads of sweat were dripping down the ugly ape's face.
Jiang He laughed out loud. "Don't be afraid, I …"
Even before he finished, one of the six western elites who had been subdued by Skull Island's array roared in rage, "Kill it! That demon wreaks havoc everywhere and harms countless people! Kill it, Jiang He!"
It was the blonde lady who had shouted.
She could actually speak Mandarin and clearly knew about Jiang He.
Jiang He turned to look at her and flatly said, "Are you telling me what to do?"
Gritting her teeth, she said, "Jiang He …"
Pow!
Jiang He slapped her to death with a single palm and sneered, "How dare a mere sacred mage call me by my name? You really have a death wish!"
Having slapped the blonde lady to death nonchalantly, he turned towards the other five sacred elites and asked, "What's with the western pantheon and the return of the western gods? I've never heard of any western elites fighting in the celestial battlefield. "
All five western elites were left stunned.
They all knew about Jiang He and had information about him, knowing that he was a decisive killer who had killed innumerable people since his rise to power.
Even so, knowing was one thing — the shock of seeing it in person was different from hearing about it.
With a single word, Jiang He had killed her …
"Damn it!"
One of the sacred warriors roared in rage, spitting out a string of English words. The gist of it was that they were all humans, but Jiang He killed Kalisa instead of the Daemon King. You animal, you wretch! You will go to hell after you die!
Pow!
Jiang He slapped him to death again.
After that, he turned towards Wang Hou and asked, "Did he curse me just now, Minister Wang?"
Taken aback, Wang Hou exclaimed in shock, "You killed him without knowing what he was saying?"
Then, with some awkwardness, he said, "I did learn English in the past, and my results in English were among the best in the school. But if you gave me a test paper, I would definitely get a high score. It's just that it's a little difficult to understand what the other side is saying."
Jiang He was speechless.
Who could not do a test paper?
Most importantly, he did not have much contact with foreigners in his past life or this life. He had long since forgotten even if he had learned some simple spoken English.
In fact, it was easy for them to learn a foreign language with their current cultivation, mastering it in just two or three hours … but wouldn't it be better to use those two or three hours to cultivate and sleep instead?
Still, he could use his opponent's mind ripples to learn what he was trying to say, but Jiang He was too lazy to do that.
On the other hand, the golden-furred ape seized the opportunity and quickly said, "Lord Jiang He, Minister Wang, I … I know foreign languages … he was definitely cursing you, calling you an animal, a wretch, and cursing you to hell after you die."
Jiang He: "…"
He was not an ape.
The golden-furred ape could speak Mandarin better than most Hua Nation people, and yet he could understand English?
His hand rose and fell, slapping another sacred warrior to death. The remaining three western elites were shaking, and one of the sacred warriors had a look of despair on his face as he spoke in awkward-sounding Mandarin, "I'll speak, I'll speak … don't kill me!"
The black-robed sacred mage quickly spoke as well.
Over two thousand years ago, the western cultivators were no weaklings either.
Just like in the legends, the western elites had even built a 'pantheon', with the most powerful 'god' being Zeus, an Overgod. There were also greater gods such as the Sun God, the God of War, the God of Fire, and the God of Hope, as well as many Intermediate and Lesser Gods.
Later, when the Dragon Vein of Earth was cut off and Spirit Qi gradually dried up, the western gods left Earth, riding the pantheon.
"Why haven't I heard about that before?"
Wang Hou frowned, puzzled.
Jiang He, however, said, "Perhaps the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist and the others felt that the western gods were too weak and did not have to mention it. If my hunch is right, the western Overgod Zeus was a Grand Luo who had mastered a Dao, and he would be the weakest among the superior beings. There were countless eastern cultivators at the time, including Grand Luo and Demi-Saints. Who would care about the western gods?"
He waved his hand impatiently, and the three western elites understood his meaning and promptly fled away from Skull Island.
Jiang He smiled at the golden ape and asked, "Little ape, is this Skull Island a grotto-heaven?"
The golden ape's face fell.
Still, considering Jiang He's ability, he eventually gritted his teeth and nodded, admitting, "This place is definitely a grotto-heaven left by a daemonic superior being. The grotto-heaven shattered over three hundred years ago, and this grotto-heaven floated above the ocean's surface, while I gained some providence to gain sentience and embark on the path of cultivation."
"Oh?"
Jiang He then asked, "You monopolized a grotto-heaven left by a daemonic superior being, cultivated for three hundred years, and only reached Mahayana?"
That was …
He was being underestimated.
Was three hundred years a long time?
Cultivating up to Mahayana in three hundred years was already very fast, alright?
It lowered its head and said, "I used to be an ordinary little ape. My speed of cultivation was very slow. It was because my cultivation was weak that I couldn't enter the core area of the Heaven's Grotto. It was not until nine years ago that I had a breakthrough in my cultivation that I was able to enter the core area of the Heaven's Grotto. I obtained the inheritance of the great figure from the Monster Clan and improved my bloodline. After many years of cultivation, I finally achieved my current cultivation."
