"Demon, go to hell!"
The steel saber in his hand was bounced off, but Lu Zhishen wasn't surprised. Instead, he roared and exerted strength in his arm. The saber turned around and slashed at the demon's abdomen!
Lu Zhishen wasn't just good at fists. He was also very good at saber techniques and staff techniques.
After all, most of the heroes of Liangshan had to fight on the battlefield. If they only fought with their fists, they would definitely suffer a great loss on the battlefield!
Pew!
The demon obviously didn't know any saber techniques. Faced with the sudden change of the saber, it didn't make any movements to resist, and the steel saber slashed right into its abdomen.
However, the scene of "cutting open the demon's abdomen" didn't happen. The thick black hair on the demon's body turned out to have a very strong buffering effect, and the steel saber in Lu Zhishen's hand wasn't sharp enough. Although it cut through the hair, it couldn't cut through completely.
Moreover, when his saber was about an inch away from the demon's abdomen, the yellow light on the demon's abdomen flashed, and the steel saber bounced off again.
"Hoooo!"
Unlike before, this time, Lu Zhishen didn't have time to change his move at all. The demon's giant claw that was covered in yellow light had already grabbed the saber with its bare hands.
It was not Lu Zhishen's personal weapon. It was an ordinary steel saber that he had taken from the Twin Dragon City. After it was grabbed by the ghost-like creature's glowing yellow claws, the saber was directly broken into two halves from the middle with a crack!
If Lu Zhishen hadn't made a prompt decision to retreat the moment the saber in his hand was broken, he might have been hit in the head by the demon's other claw.
The consequences of that could be imagined from the scene where the tree next to his original position, which was so wide that it would take two people to wrap their arms around it, was hit by the demon's other claw.
Hum!
However, at this moment, a long sword that was entirely white and almost transparent suddenly attacked the demon's back from behind. Based on the structure of the human body, it should be the position of the demon's heart.
Pew!
The sharp blade of the sword pierced right through the evil spirit's chest, and the tip of the sword, stained with blood, even emerged from the evil spirit's chest.
"Hoooo!"
The "evil ghost" let out a loud roar, and the yellow light on his fist flickered.
"Master, be careful … This is a Mandrill, and its strength is above Extraordinary Rank-1!"
Lu Zhishen, who had retreated, had actually already noticed Ji Ye's arrival. He had purposely kept quiet so that the Mountain Elf wouldn't notice him, and only shouted a warning now.
"So it's a Mandrill!"
Ji Ye was slightly relieved to hear that Lu Zhishen had revealed the identity of the "evil ghost".
Although the Mountain Elf's name also contained the word "ghost", strictly speaking, it shouldn't be considered a "ghost" as he had previously thought.
The Mandrill was a type of monster that lived in the mountains. Its body was long and black, and it possessed extraordinary strength. It was said that it could run faster than a leopard, and it could tear tigers and leopards apart with its bare hands. It was the king of the mountains!
In Strange Tales from a Liaozhai, there was also a record of a mountain elf being slashed in the stomach with a knife, and the sound of stone being cut could be heard.
However, the level of this Mandrill inevitably made Ji Ye shudder.
Above Extraordinary Rank-1!
It was no wonder that even Lu Zhishen was no match for him.
At the same time, he also felt an invisible sense of pressure.
He originally thought that with a "hero" like Lu Zhishen in charge, the entire fort would be impregnable. At the very least, he wouldn't have to worry about monster attacks.
In the end, in just one day, a monster above Extraordinary Rank-1 had appeared.
However, now was not the time to be distracted.
Compared to Lu Zhishen's steel saber, the slender Black Serpent Sword was undoubtedly not restrained by the Mandrill's black fur. In addition, the Black Serpent Sword was also an Extraordinary item, so it pierced through the Mandrill with one strike.
Unfortunately, facing this creature that did not exist in reality, Ji Ye seemed to have become unlucky. His judgment of the location of the heart failed again.
"Roar!"
The Mandrill that had been pierced by the Black Serpent Sword did not die. Instead, it let out a beast-like roar from the pain. Then, it used its huge claws, which were once again enveloped in the yellow light, to slap the Black Serpent Sword in an attempt to break it.
In theory, with the Black Serpent Sword's Extraordinary Rank-3 Superior quality, Ji Ye believed that it shouldn't be broken so easily by the Mandrill.
However, just in case, he could only give up on the idea of continuing to twist its body to expand its injuries. With a shake of his arm, he pulled the Black Serpent Sword back.
Pew!
At the same time the sword was pulled out, a large amount of blood rushed out from the Mandrill's wound in a column.
Like a tap that had been opened, it splashed all over the ground. The Black Serpent Sword, which was originally white, turned a black-red color as if it had sucked blood!
The Beyonder characteristic is indeed useful.
Ji Ye, who had quickly retreated and dodged the injured Mandrill's attack, saw this scene, and his eyes lit up.
That's right, controlling the "water" in the blood.
This was the Beyonder power of the Black Serpent Sword.
It was also the reason why he didn't choose the Heavy Bulldozer Crossbow and chose this sword.
After all, if he really encountered the kind of ghost he thought it was, the Heavy Bulldozer Crossbow might not be effective. The Beyonder power of this sword might still be of some use.
In fact, Ji Ye originally thought that the Beyonder power of this sword was "poison."
After all, its blade was made of the Black Serpent's fangs. That was why there was a reminder in the description not to cut your fingers.
However, the true meaning was that even if it was just a cut on the finger, it might cause a large amount of blood to be lost.
And the consequences of excessive blood loss could be seen from the reaction of the Mandrill in front of him.
"Roar, roar …"
The injured Mandrill roared repeatedly.
Even though it was facing the siege of two Extraordinary humans like Lu Zhishen, it did not completely fall into a disadvantageous position with the layer of yellow light on its body that combined offense and defense.
However, after being stabbed three or four times by the Black Serpent Sword in Ji Ye's hand and about half of its blood was sucked out, its movements began to change.
Boom!
Then, after being punched in the back by Lu Zhishen again, the huge body of more than two meters suddenly lost its balance. It was hit and rolled down the side of the hill!
"Roar!"
Just as the Mandrill got up again and roared, making Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen think that it was going to charge up and continue fighting …
However, the Mandrill suddenly turned around and burrowed into the forest. It ran down the mountain, its footsteps clearly staggering.
Obviously, the Mandrill did not dare to fight anymore after losing too much blood. After all, it was not a real "ghost" but a "spiritual monster." Its basic life functions needed enough blood to maintain.
"It actually escaped!"
"Chase after it!"
Clearly, neither Ji Ye nor Lu Zhishen would let it go.
After all, it was not just for Ergou.
It was also because as a monster above Extraordinary Rank-1, they would definitely be able to obtain something after killing it.
The Mandrill seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of this area. It could find a path in the dense trees. However, due to the excessive blood loss, Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen caught up to it after a minute of escape.
Pew!
In the end, the Black Serpent Sword in Ji Ye's hand chopped off the Mandrill's head and ended the battle.
