98: The stick hits the stick, it's very smooth
“It’s not like we’re not letting you in. We’ve already told you the rules for entry, yet you still dare to be so boastful and bark like a mad dog. Even the Venerable Lord has never scolded you. What kind of thing are you?!”
The Golden Ape suddenly leaped into the air, the great rod at his feet flying up with him, which he gripped tightly in his hand, and then swung it down.
The terrifying force bent the great rod and also tore a black crack in the void, as if the heavens and earth were split in half with the great rod as the center.
The Sabertooth Tiger’s heart was suddenly startled. The great rod arrived in an instant, so fast that even with divine sense, he could only perceive a blurry afterimage.
Bang!
The rod came down, its end heavily striking the Sabertooth Tiger’s forehead. The terrifying power exploded the void.
The tough fur on his forehead instantly split open, his skull caved in, and blood splattered in all directions like arrows, staining his entire head red.
His airborne body was even slammed hard into the ground.
His massive head was dizzy and dazed by the blow, even forgetting the pain. Only the Golden Ape’s disdainful gaze flashed through his mind.
This guy actually dared to attack him, and his attack was so swift and domineering!
“Using a rod to hit a rod, it really is convenient.” The Golden Ape carried the white bone great rod, staring coldly at the Sabertooth Tiger who had been driven underground.
All relevant information about Tier B Ferocious Beasts had already been compiled by Li Chang’an and given to them.
So he knew that the ‘Sacred King’ the Sabertooth Tiger spoke of was the Tier B Ferocious Beast that South Korea worshipped as their godfather.
“You’re courting death!”
Buried under the mud, the Sabertooth Tiger, hearing the Golden Ape’s taunts, roared and sprang up, opening his blood-red maw, intending to tear the Golden Ape to shreds.
Meanwhile, Black Snake and other Tier C Ferocious Beasts who had arrived mostly stared at the Golden Ape with ill intent, their hearts more or less filled with anger.
They weren’t trying to right a wrong for the Sabertooth Tiger, but rather, they represented the Tier B Ferocious Beasts behind them, and they themselves were among the best of the Tier C Ferocious Beasts.
The Golden Ape not only lacked the proper etiquette but also dared to directly attack them, completely disregarding them!
Black Snake and the other ferocious beasts exchanged glances, seeing a hint of killing intent in each other’s eyes.
Since the Golden Ape showed them no respect, they had to teach him a lesson and let him know what awe meant!
Otherwise, even if they met Lu Yu, they probably wouldn’t be able to have a good talk.
For a time, multiple Tier C Ferocious Beasts gathered here, simultaneously releasing their auras and locking onto the Golden Ape.
The combined aura of the Sabertooth Tiger and other ferocious beasts pressed down, but the Golden Ape showed no fear.
His entire golden fur burned like flames, and a wild, arrogant aura that stirred heaven and earth erupted!
The Golden Ape’s fierce and unyielding aura made many ferocious beasts slightly stunned.
Is this guy crazy?
He dares to go against them!
Black Snake and the other ferocious beasts with determined gazes surged with spiritual energy, intending to quickly eliminate the Golden Ape together.
But just then, a clear phoenix cry rang out, and then a ball of scorching flame descended from the sky, transforming into the fiery figure of the Firebird, born from fire.
With her appearance, the surrounding temperature rapidly rose, and the blood on the Sabertooth Tiger, who was charging at the front, was even being evaporated!
“If you want to gang up on one, you’ll have to ask if we agree first!”
The Xuan Yu Divine Eagle and other ferocious beasts had already been alerted by the aura here, and they all rushed over, standing beside the Golden Ape, emitting their Tier C Ferocious Beast auras, confronting Black Snake and the other ferocious beasts.
They completely neutralized the terrifying pressure formed by their combined efforts.
Black Snake and the other Tier C Ferocious Beasts scanned the Xuan Yu Divine Eagle and others who had arrived, their expressions unconsciously becoming solemn.
As spokespersons for Tier B Ferocious Beasts, most of them were at the peak of Tier C, powerful and domineering.
However, the Xuan Yu Divine Eagle and other ferocious beasts, despite not having reached the peak of Tier C, emitted spiritual energy that could contend with them equally.
Their spiritual energy was incredibly refined.
If it came to a true life-and-death battle, even if they won, it would definitely be a Pyrrhic victory.
And the more this was the case, the more alarmed they became.
It would be one thing if one or two ferocious beasts had condensed spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy of these eleven ferocious beasts was all extremely refined. There must be something fishy going on!
It is highly likely related to the rich spiritual energy environment of Jiangzhou City!
“Everyone, today we are only here on behalf of our Great King to talk with the Great Golden Eagle King. There’s no need to make things so tense; it won’t benefit anyone.”
A Mountain Turtle, who seemed to carry a giant mountain on his back, glanced at the Golden Ape and other ferocious beasts, then stepped forward to mediate.
Continuing this standoff would not benefit either side.
Although they had a numerical advantage, Lu Yu, that Tier B Ferocious Beast, had not yet appeared.
Black Snake and the other ferocious beasts, hearing this, gradually reined in their auras.
The Sabertooth Tiger, who was at the very front, seeing this, could only glare fiercely at the Golden Ape, then rubbed his almost shattered forehead and retreated.
The Golden Ape scanned them, the great rod in his hand now resting on his shoulder again.
“It’s still the same thing: if you want to enter, you can enter for one million. If you have other valuable treasures, we can be flexible.”
“Other than that, the rules set by the Venerable Lord are ironclad!”
Black Snake and the other ferocious beasts immediately frowned.
The Sabertooth Tiger, fearing no chaos, scoffed, “So, Lu Yu doesn’t intend to talk with us? He wants to stubbornly guard Jiangzhou City alone?”
“Lord Sacred King has already spoken: three days! If Lu Yu can get out of Jiangzhou City within three days, his life will be spared!”
He knew very well that relying on his own strength, it was impossible to avenge today’s humiliation.
But as long as he stirred up the situation and angered both sides, he could act amidst the chaos!
As the number one ferocious beast under Lord Sacred King, he had always been vindictive; if he didn’t kill the Golden Ape, he simply couldn’t swallow this anger.
Black Snake knew the Sabertooth Tiger too well and understood that his words were mixed with personal desires.
However, she couldn’t refute him either; Lord Great Snake had also spoken, giving Lu Yu three days to make a decision quickly.
The attention of the other ferocious beasts was entirely on Jiangzhou City. At this moment, they were also very satisfied with the three-day period mentioned by the Sabertooth Tiger, deciding to tacitly agree to this timeframe and collectively pressure Lu Yu, who was behind the Golden Ape and his companions.
“I knew you guys weren’t up to any good coming here!” The Firebird flapped her wings, and rolling heatwaves swept towards the Sabertooth Tiger and other ferocious beasts.
“If this is your intention for coming here, then now, you can scram!”
Upon hearing the Firebird’s words, the Sabertooth Tiger jumped out again, “Lu Yu is truly domineering, isn’t he? I just wonder if he’ll be so scared he kneels and surrenders when our Great Kings arrive here.”
The Golden Ape’s hand gripping the great rod turned white at the knuckles. In an instant, he had already reached the Sabertooth Tiger.
“You little punk, I’ve tolerated you for too long!”
“How dare you utter the Venerable Lord’s name?!”
