362: Bah! What kind of lousy immortal is he! He just stands by and watches someone die!

"Pah! What kind of bullshit Immortal Masters! You refuse to save someone in mortal danger!"

The Yao Beast resembled a giant ape, but its entire body was covered in dark golden scales. Its fangs protruded outwards, its eyes were blood-red, and every step it took caused the ground to tremble!

The Vicious Beast's aura had reached the Peak of the Sixth Rank! It was equivalent to a human Cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection stage!

What was even more terrifying was that its dark golden scales shimmered with a metallic luster under the sunlight; one look was enough to know its defense was extremely astonishing!

"It's a Golden Armored Violent Ape! Peak of the Sixth Rank! Quickly, save him!"

The leader of the Liuyun Sect, a youth at the Middle Golden Core Stage named Hao Bangmang, saw this and his expression changed. Without hesitation, he let out a sharp cry, his figure turning into a streak of green light as he charged towards the Golden Armored Violent Ape!

Several fellow Disciples at the Early Golden Core Stage behind him immediately followed.

"Roar—!"

The Golden Armored Violent Ape was enraged by the sudden interception and abandoned its pursuit of the old man. Its massive fist, accompanied by a sharp whistle that tore through the air, smashed fiercely towards Hao Bangmang, who was charging at the front!

Boom!

A cyan long saber in Hao Bangmang's hand erupted with brilliant spiritual light, clashing head-on with the giant fist!

The deafening sound of metal clashing rang out! Hao Bangmang felt an irresistible force surge through, causing the webbing between his thumb and index finger to instantly split. His Qi and blood churned, and he was blasted backwards several dozen zhang before barely managing to stabilize his body, his face turning pale!

"Such powerful strength! Such hard scales!"

Hao Bangmang was shocked. His full-power strike at the Middle Golden Core Stage had only left a shallow white mark on the opponent's scales!

The attacks from the other few Disciples at the Early Golden Core Stage landed on the Golden Armored Violent Ape as if they were merely scratching an itch; sparks flew everywhere, but they couldn't break its defense at all!

Instead, it only made this Vicious Beast more berserk. Its fists slammed down frantically like beating drums, forcing everyone to dodge in a panic, constantly facing mortal danger!

In just a moment, the members of the Liuyun Sect had fallen into an absolute disadvantage, firmly suppressed by this Six-Rank Peak Yao Beast with its abnormal defense and terrifying strength!

The old man at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, who had been saved, hid behind a boulder, his heart still racing. Seeing that the Golden Armored Violent Ape was being entangled by the Liuyun Sect members, he felt not a shred of gratitude. Instead, he immediately poked his head out and shouted anxiously at Hao Bangmang and the others, who were desperately resisting the beast. His voice was sharp and piercing:

"Immortal Masters! Immortal Masters! My Storage Pouch! My Storage Pouch fell into the gully over there when I was running for my life! It contains my life savings! I beg you, please help me find it! Hurry!"

He pointed in a direction in the distance, his face filled only with greed and urgency for his wealth, completely ignoring the perilous situation his saviors were in!

"You bastard!"

A Disciple at the Early Golden Core Stage, who was struggling to dodge the giant fists, cursed in anger, "We are almost losing our lives trying to save you, and you're still worrying about your damn pouch!"

"Exactly! Ungrateful wretch!" The other Disciples also angrily rebuked him.

Hao Bangmang was so angry his face turned livid, his chest feeling stifled, and he was almost struck by the Golden Armored Violent Ape's fist!

He suppressed his rage and shouted sharply, "Ignore him! Form the array! Trap this beast!"

The Liuyun Sect Disciples forcibly suppressed their anger and successively summoned their Magical Artifacts, attempting to form a battle array.

However, the Golden Armored Violent Ape was too ferocious. Before the battle array could take shape, it was scattered by its violent attacks, and two more Disciples were swept by the wind of its fists, vomiting blood as they were sent flying!

Seeing that everyone was only focused on dealing with the Yao Beast and ignoring his request, the old man's face immediately showed a venomous expression, and he began to curse foully:

"Pah! What kind of bullshit Immortal Masters! You refuse to save someone in mortal danger! You won't even help an old man find a Storage Pouch! You deserve to be beaten to death by the Yao Beast!"

After saying this, he actually didn't look back at this side again, turned around, and ran towards the gully he had pointed to, stumbling along as he went to find his "lifeblood."

This scene fell clearly into the eyes of Yao Delong, who was high in the sky.

"Heh." A cold arc curled at the corner of Yao Delong's mouth.

The baseness of human nature was vividly displayed in the face of life, death, and greed.

In the old man's eyes, the grace of saving his life was far less important than that Storage Pouch, which might contain a few Spirit Stones.

Seeing the old man being so ungrateful, the last shred of pity in the hearts of the Liuyun Sect members completely dissipated, leaving only anger and regret.

Hao Bangmang felt a chill in his heart; if not for his momentary soft-heartedness, why would his fellow Disciples have fallen into such a deadly situation?

A flash of determination crossed his eyes, and he prepared to fight to the death!

Just at this critical moment!

An indescribable, terrifying Sword Intent that seemed capable of freezing the Soul and ending all things descended suddenly, like a cold tide from the Nine Heavens! It instantly enveloped the entire battlefield!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment!

The roaring Golden Armored Violent Ape had its giant fist, which was capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, suspended in mid-air, and its blood-red beast pupils were instantly filled with boundless fear and dead silence!

Its massive body seemed to be nailed to the spot by billions of invisible ice needles, unable to move even a single finger!

The immense fear stemming from the instinct of life made even its demon soul tremble!

The members of the Liuyun Sect, who were struggling and almost in despair, felt the mountain-like pressure on them suddenly vanish, and the violent Demonic Qi pressure was completely suppressed by a colder, more deathly force!

They looked up in shock.

In mid-air, a tall and upright figure had appeared, though no one knew when.

He was dressed in the attire of a Core Disciple of the Yin Yang Sect. His face was handsome, and his eyes were as indifferent as ten-thousand-year-old ice, as if he were just passing by and casually glanced at the squabbles of the ants beneath his feet.

He didn't even draw his sword; he simply flicked his finger towards the Six-Rank Peak Golden Armored Violent Ape below, which possessed monstrous ferocity.

"Nirvana."

A cold word, devoid of any emotion, was gently uttered like the pronouncement of the Grim Reaper.

Chi—!

A thread-thin, nearly transparent gray Sword Qi shot out silently from his fingertip.

This Sword Qi had no earth-shattering momentum, no high temperature capable of burning mountains and boiling seas; it only carried a pure "death" intent that ended everything!

Wherever it passed, space seemed to lose its color, and the light distorted and dimmed because of it!

The speed of the Sword Qi seemed slow, yet it appeared to ignore the distance of space, instantly sinking into the center of the Golden Armored Violent Ape's brow, which was covered in dark golden scales!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no gruesome scene of flesh and blood flying.

That massive, hill-like Six-Rank Peak Yao Beast's huge body suddenly stiffened.

The red, fierce light in its eyes, like a candle in the wind, extinguished instantly, leaving only hollow, dead gray.

Immediately after, its indestructible dark golden scales, centered on that point between its brows, rapidly lost all luster, becoming gray and decayed, as if it had experienced millions of years of weathering!

Its massive vitality was completely stripped away and annihilated in an instant!

Boom!

The Golden Armored Violent Ape's massive body, having lost all vitality, collapsed with a crash like a sand sculpture drained of all support, smashing into the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

Upon landing, those sturdy scales actually shattered like rotten wood, revealing the flesh and bones inside, which were equally gray and devoid of any vitality!

One finger!

Merely a gust of wind from a finger condensed with Nirvana Sword Intent!

A Six-Rank Peak Yao Beast with a defense comparable to a Low Grade Earth-Grade Weapon had its vitality severed, its form and spirit both destroyed!
