The Tiger Ape was more than a hundred feet tall. Every step it took caused the ground to tremble slightly. It was like a small mountain moving horizontally, bringing with it a violent aura.
Roar!!!
Seeing Xiong Meng and the others, the Tiger Ape let out an angry roar. It picked up a huge rock from the ground and threw it at them.
Ha!
Xiong Meng roared. He waved his hand and shot out a divine light to blow the huge rock away. Then they quickly retreated dozens of feet away.
"Senior Xiao is responsible for cutting off its retreat. We will deal with it directly!" Xiong Meng reminded Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu was happy that they didn't have to fight directly. He nodded slightly and circled behind the Tiger Ape.
At this time, Xiong Meng had already taken out a big iron shield in front of them. The Tiger Ape was constantly punching the iron shield.
What surprised Xiao Lingyu was that the strength of a Divine Lord stage demonic beast was extremely formidable. Xiong Meng was actually able to rely on the strength of one person and one magic weapon to block the Tiger Ape's fist.
Taking a closer look, Xiao Lingyu discovered that the large iron shield had the quality of a peak mid-level defensive artifact. Every time it was hit, a large part of it would immediately be dented. However, when the tiger ape withdrew its fist, the dented part would immediately be restored to its original state. It was truly miraculous.
The two brothers, Ma Chun and Ma Qiu, were in charge of attacking together with Zhang Hai. They were all holding an extremely sharp mid-grade divine blade, constantly rushing out from under the iron shield. After slashing the Tiger Ape Beast, they would immediately retreat, allowing the furious Tiger Ape Beast to retaliate against the big iron shield.
Xiao Lingyu had already seen that the reason why they dared to challenge the Tiger Ape was because of Xiong Meng's strength and the magical defense of the big iron shield.
However, Xiao Lingyu felt that it would be difficult for them to defeat the Tiger Ape. After all, it was at the Divine Monarch stage.
Although the three cultivators in charge of attacking were able to hit the Tiger Ape Beast, the wounds left by their divine sabers were only able to slow down the Tiger Ape Beast's condition. It was not enough to pose much of a threat.
If this Tiger Ape Beast did not have any other attack patterns, and if Xiong Meng was able to persevere, then he would be able to wear down this Tiger Ape Beast to death. But a God Monarch stage existence should be able to withstand a bit more than a Heavenly Deity stage cultivator.
In fact, as the Tiger Ape Beast became more and more violent, Xiong Meng's resistance became more and more strenuous. Every time the Tiger Ape Beast smashed into the big iron shield, Xiong Meng would retreat a few steps, and the clothes on his upper body would be torn by him.
However, Xiong Meng had already taken out the wineskin that contained the fruit wine. Every once in a while, he would take a small sip to maintain his condition.
When the Tiger Ape Beast saw that its attacks were not effective, it shifted the focus of its attacks to deal with the three people who were constantly harassing it. Its two legs quickly kicked out, and even though the three people were very careful, they were still inevitably hit.
The three people also had good defensive methods, but being kicked by a God Monarch stage demonic beast was no joke. As long as they were hit, they would spit out blood and be sent flying far away.
What made Xiao Lingyu flabbergasted was that Miss Jing waved her hand at her injured companions and released a circle of holy white light. Then, her injured companions immediately recovered from their injuries and continued to fight in good condition.
"This healing divine technique is really very powerful and very useful!" Xiao Lingyu could not help but praise in his heart.
This Miss Jing was the biggest reason why this team was able to defeat this seemingly stupid tiger-ape beast.
Xiao Lingyu also keenly discovered that the holy white light from Miss Jing's hand was actually released by the delicate bracelet on her wrist. From her effortless expression and posture, it could be seen that the holy white light released by the bracelet did not consume much of her energy.
Zhang Hai and the other two did not have any worries about the rear. They had been attacking without regard for their own safety. Even though their attack power was not high, but after a long time, they would still pose a threat to the Tiger Ape Beast. And Xiong Meng, who was fully focused on defense, had the fruit wine in his hand, so he would not be in a state of physical exhaustion. As a result, they were able to deal with the Tiger Ape Beast.
The Tiger Ape Beast was repeatedly provoked. It was clear that the other party's strength was not as good as it, but it could not do anything to the other party. This made it very angry and unwilling, so it was still desperately attacking. It seemed to think that it should not retreat and that the other party should not be able to hold on for too long.
Unfortunately, after fighting for a long time, Xiong Meng and the others were still in good condition. They continued to attack, and not only did the Tiger Ape Beast's condition continue to decline, but its injuries also became more serious.
Once again, it realized that it could not continue to fight, so it decisively chose to retreat like the previous few times.
At present, it was not far from its territory, which was the fruit forest full of fog. It was precisely because of this point that it came out to fight. Moreover, before coming out, it had already made up its mind to not go too far from its territory.
But what it did not know was that this time was very different from the previous few times. The other party had one more person, and this person had the strength of a Divine Monarch.
When the Tiger Ape Beast turned around and prepared to escape, Xiao Lingyu made his move. He did not use any magic weapon, only a fist fiercely smashed over.
This Tiger Ape Beast's speed was not fast, and its body was also injured. Naturally, it was unable to dodge Xiao Lingyu's long-prepared attack.
It also did not prepare to dodge. It felt that this person in front of it was a stupid act to fight with its strength.
"Since you dare to block me, then taste my fists filled with anger!"
As the Tiger Ape Beast rushed towards the fruit forest, it quickly smashed out a fist.
Xiao Lingyu's size was originally much, much smaller than the Tiger Ape Beast. His entire body was not even the size of the Tiger Ape Beast's fist, and was not even the size of a finger. Purely based on size, he would definitely not be able to block the Tiger Ape Beast's fist.
But just as the two fists were about to collide, Xiao Lingyu's arm rapidly expanded. His entire arm suddenly turned into a dragon claw, and his fist turned into a dragon fist.
Boom!!
The dragon fist and the ape fist collided. What was surprising was that at this moment, Xiao Lingyu suddenly appeared behind him.
The golden dragon's image flashed, and Xiao Lingyu's body continuously retreated several tens of feet before stabilizing.
That Tiger Ape Beast's huge body also retreated a few steps.
After Xiao Lingyu stabilized his body, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. After a moment, he rushed towards the Tiger Ape Beast again.
At this moment, Xiong Meng's group of five also caught up and launched an attack from behind the Tiger Ape Beast.
With Xiao Lingyu's powerful obstruction, the Tiger Ape Beast definitely did not think of escaping safely. It seemed to know that it could not escape today, so it angrily attacked Xiong Meng's group. It probably felt that it could not harm Xiao Lingyu.
Once a Divine Monarch stage demonic beast went berserk and fought back like a trapped beast, that was when it was at its most dangerous.
Even if Xiao Lingyu continuously attacked the Tiger Ape Beast, it relied on its thick skin and high cultivation to withstand a few attacks. Under its fierce attacks, Xiong Meng's group, with the exception of Miss Jing, were all in danger.
Although his mission was only to block the Tiger Ape Beast, Xiao Lingyu still saved the weaker Ma Chun, Ma Qiu, and Zhang Hai several times.
In the end, the Tiger Ape Beast collapsed with a loud bang, and its enormous body was swiftly sealed by Xiao Lingyu.
"Fortunately, Senior Xiao was here. Otherwise, even if we killed it in the end, we would have suffered great losses." Xiong Meng said with a face of lingering fear.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao." Miss Jing said sincerely.
"Hehe, I also wanted to earn those sixty thousand high-grade spirit stones. No need to thank me, this is what I should do." Xiao Lingyu waved his hand and said generously.
"The mission is completed. Let's find a place to rest and then return to the city to receive the commission!" Xiong Meng said with a face of joy.
They casually found a cave to rest for half a day, and then everyone went back to the city together.
Xiao Lingyu also had to follow them because they could not take out sixty thousand high-grade spirit stones. They had to return to the city to receive the commission before they could pay the promised reward.
Because of Xiao Lingyu's strength and the fact that he had saved several people's lives, Zhang Hai finally became more polite to him. Not only did he call Xiao Lingyu senior, but he also asked him a lot of questions very attentively.
"Senior Xiao, are you interested in joining our team?" Zhang Hai asked on the way.
Xiong Meng and the others also looked over with concern, as if they also wanted to know the answer.
"I like to be alone." Xiao Lingyu shook his head and smiled.
Xiong Meng and the others all showed a bit of disappointment. If they could have such a powerful Divine Monarch powerhouse join, the team's combat strength would undoubtedly increase by a lot.
"What's so good about being alone? Not only will you be lonely, but you also won't have a companion. When you encounter trouble, you won't even have someone to help you. People say that a good man needs three helpers. An expert like you also needs a few assistants and errand boys, right?" Zhang Hai said, unwilling to give up.
"Hehe." Xiao Lingyu just smiled indifferently.
"Brother Xiao, this should be your first time in the city, right?" Miss Jing asked.
"Yes." Xiao Lingyu nodded in response.
"Brother Xiao, are you planning to stay here for a long time, or are you just passing by?" Miss Jing asked again.
"I don't think I'll be staying for long." Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment before answering.
Miss Jing didn't say anything else, and everyone fell silent.
Although Xiong Meng and the others were very familiar with the forest, it still took them a full four years to walk out of the forest. With Xiao Lingyu following them, and with their own strength, the journey was very peaceful.
Outside the forest was a grassland, but the area wasn't too big. It took them less than half a month to cross it and arrive in front of a large river.
The river was very wide, more than a hundred miles wide. Across the river, they could see the outline of the city in the distance.
What was a little surprising was that there was actually a big bridge across such a wide river.
This big bridge was made of more than a dozen thick chains strung together with countless iron plates. It looked like a steel dragon. Although it looked swaying, it gave people a solid and safe feeling.
Through this big bridge, they could reach the other side of the river. After walking for another few dozen miles, they would reach the city.
