Chapter 66 - Ch 66: Killing The Ironback Apes
Lin Hao also saw this situation. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Looks like I have to use that move."
He swung his sword and brought it closer to his chest and stroke it with his other hand.
Suddenly his sword flashed with an intense red light. At that moment, as if Lin Hao's entire body was transformed into a gigantic sword light, rushing toward the leader of the Ironback Ape.
"Demon Slaying Sword: Slaying The Demons In One Slash"
Lin Hao shouted loudly. The sword light had a terrifying and sharp force, slashing at the third rank Ironback Ape.
The Ironback Ape also felt a terrifying force coming at him. It wanted to dodge and escape but it was two late. It was not able to escape. It was directly cut down in two pieces from its waist.
"Roar!"
It let out its last roar which was filled with unwillingness and hatred and then closed its eyes for forever.
"Phew!"
Lin Hao also let out a long breath.
When Ye Xiao saw this, he was left stupefied on his track. He could not help but praise Lin Hao.
"So, this is the power of a Low Grade Earth Rank martial arts technique. It really is on the whole different level than my Sacred Finger Art which is only a High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill."
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
When the leader of the Ironback Apes died, all the Ironback Apes, who were running toward their leader to help him, froze in their tracks. And when they came back to their senses, they became very angry and roared at Lin Hao. They speed up their pace, attacking at Lin Hao.
"What are you standing their for. Hurry up and kill as much Ironback Apes as you can." Lin Hao shouted loudly at Ye Xiao when he saw him standing their and looking at him like a fool and then he rushed toward the coming Ironback Apes.
Ye Xiao also came back to his sense when he heard Lin Hao and flew toward the Ironback Apes.
Back and front, from both sides, Lin Hao and Ye Xiao started their massacre. Ironback Apes were mainly trying to attack Lin Hao so Ye Xiao took this opportunity and started killing an Ironback Ape with each of his attacks. On the other side, Lin Hao was also slashing every Ironback Apes that came to attack him, killing them in one attack. Not long after, all the second rank Ironback Apes were killed by both of them.
After killing all of the Ironback Apes, they took out the beast core from them and divided half-half between themselves. Only the beast core of the third rank Ironback Ape remains. Lin Hao and Ye Xiao both looked at it then raised their heads to look at each other. Lin Hao was about to speak when he heard Ye Xiao saying, "You were the one who killed the leader so you keep its beast core."
Lin Hao was surprised after listening Ye Xiao. He knew the value of the third rank beast core. He can even exchange it for many medicinal herbs without any effort. He can clearly feel that Ye Xiao said those words without any hesitation. If it were any other men, even if they told Lin Hao to keep it because of his name and status, greed will definitely be seen from their eyes. But He didn't feel anything from Ye Xiao. It was as if Ye Xiao didn't care about it.
Well, this was also the truth. Ye Xiao really didn't care about the it. He was already richer than many flourishing clans of the Azure Dragon Country. Only the five great sects and the Imperial Family could be compared to him in terms of riches.
And it was not like the third rank beast core will be count for this round of the competition.
Lin Hao did not said anything and kept the beast core of the third rank Ironback Ape.
After everything was done, they both sat down on the ground to take some rest. Lin Hao suddenly raised his head and said, "You are just too powerful for a martial artist at the Fifth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm."
"Same goes for you." Ye Xiao replied and said, "Before I met you, I thought that with my current strength, it would not be much difficult for me to win the competition. But now, I know I was wrong. Looks like I can not underestimate anyone here."
"With your strength, you can already obtain a place in top ten or may be in top three." Lin Hao said. He also thought of the extremely beautiful wings of Ye Xiao at this moment.
"You also have a very rare flying type martial arts skill. During the fight, if you fly in the sky and then attack to your opponent, they will not be able to take it for long and will certainly lose." Lin Hao added.
"I never thought of using my this skill to fight in the competition. You have already seen it so I have to bother you to keep this a secret for me. After all you know, if I were to attract too much attention, only trouble will be waiting for me in the future." Ye Xiao said while taking a long breath.
He had already thought it through. He will not use the wings of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon during the second round of the competition.
Lin Hao looked at him deeply and nodded his head, "Don't worry. If you don't want anyone to know about this martial arts skill then I'll not reveal it."
Anyone, who had already seen the wings of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, or will see it in the future, all would only think that this is a flying type martial arts skill. No body will link it to a dragon. And only because of this, Ye Xiao was also in relief.
