98: Guardian of the secret realm, overlord-level monster!

In the distance, the sounds of fierce battle continued.

The Red Palm Grandmaster was covered in blood, his right arm hung limply, and his left hand barely fended off the encirclement of six Martial Masters.

The Cloud-Treading Grandmaster was pushed to the brink, with three broken blades stuck in his back and his Protective Aura nearing exhaustion.

The only unharmed Green Edge Grandmaster, though uninjured, was also caught in a ten-person siege, his sword sheath showing signs of sluggishness as he wielded it.

These controlled Martial Masters completely disregarded their own lives, each move striking directly at vital points!

“Damn it… damn it!” Lei Qianjue roared internally.

He could, of course, see that if they dragged this on any longer, the elites he brought would be completely wiped out!

But just as he was about to make a decision—

“Roar—!!!”

An earth-shshattering roar suddenly came from the peak of the snowy mountain,

The sound wave swept down like a tangible force, causing the accumulated snow on the entire mountain to collapse!

Everyone looked up simultaneously.

They saw the clouds at the top of the snowy mountain suddenly torn apart by some terrifying force, and a giant black shadow flickered in and out of sight within the mist.

The black shadow was shaped like a giant ape, but it had six arms, each entwined with visible crimson Evil Qi.

When it roared at the sky, the sky mysteriously darkened, as if even the sunlight was swallowed!

“Six-Armed Blood Fiend Ape?!” Lin Qianqian’s face turned pale, her voice trembling.

Wang Kai’s eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, “No! Even a second-tier Yao Beast couldn’t cause such a celestial phenomenon!”

Su Lei’s gaze deepened, “This isn’t a simple second-tier Yao Beast; it’s a Overlord (Overlord-level)!”

As if responding to his question, the Yao Beast suddenly stooped, its six crimson eyes simultaneously locking onto the group on the mountainside.

The next second, it pounded its chest with its six arms, and a visible wave of blood-colored energy violently spread out!

“Rumble—”

The entire snowy mountain began to tremble, and countless snow cascaded down like a tsunami!

“Avalanche! All units, defend!”

Su Lei was the first to react, his Mental Energy instantly contracting, causing the controlled Martial Masters to stop in unison, standing blankly in place.

Lei Qianjue no longer cared about pursuing them, glaring fiercely at Su Lei.

“This isn’t over… Let’s go!”

Chen Xuan sheathed his sword, silently following behind the team.

Lei Qianjue suddenly looked back.

“You traitor… What are you still following for?”

“Get out!”

The word was squeezed through his clenched teeth, carrying a thunderous rage.

Chen Xuan was silent for a moment.

Without saying anything, he turned and walked towards Su Lei and his group.

Lin Qianqian subconsciously wanted to stop him but was halted by Su Lei’s raised hand.

“Let him come over.”

Chen Xuan looked at Su Lei with a complicated expression, “The Six-Armed Blood Fiend Ape is a guardian beast; it won’t easily leave the mountain peak.”

“Even if the two of us work together…”

Su Lei narrowed his eyes, looking at Lei Qianjue, who was clumsily organizing his defense in the distance.

A slight smile played on his lips.

The next moment, he took a deep breath, and a faint blue light appeared in the depths of his pupils.

His Mental Energy spread like a tide, passing through the wind and snow, pressing directly towards the colossal beast on the mountain peak.

Completely controlling a Grandmaster would take at least half an hour, let alone this Overlord-level Yao Beast.

As soon as his Mental Energy made contact, it was dispersed by the Aura emanating from the Six-Armed Blood Fiend Ape’s body.

Su Lei’s gaze sharpened, and he gritted his teeth, condensing all his Mental Energy into a fine needle, piercing it into the depths of the opponent’s consciousness.

He applied a subtle, almost imperceptible mental suggestion.

The next moment,

“Roar—?!”

The Six-Armed Blood Fiend Ape suddenly turned its head, its six crimson eyes locking firmly onto Lei Qianjue and his group.

“Not good!” Lei Qianjue’s face changed drastically, “That beast is targeting us!”

His lightning shield was already precarious in the avalanche, and now it was almost collapsing under the impact of the Yao Beast’s Evil Qi.

“Retreat! Quick, retreat!”

Lei Qianjue no longer cared about his dignity, leading the remaining Martial Masters and two severely injured Grandmasters in a frantic retreat.

And the Six-Armed Blood Fiend Ape roared, pounding the ground with its six arms, leaping down from the mountain peak like a blood-colored meteor, chasing after them!

“Go!” Su Lei shouted, and the team immediately sped towards the mountain peak.

In the wind and snow, Chen Xuan ran and said in a deep voice, “The star marrow is in the ice cave on the mountain peak, but there must be other dangers there.”

Wang Kai grinned, “No matter how dangerous, it’s better than being hunted by those lunatics from the Lei Family!”

Lin Qianqian looked at Su Lei worriedly, “Are you… are you okay…?”

Su Lei took a deep breath and slowly shook his head, “Enough to last until we get the star marrow.”

...The wind and snow howled, and the group quickly ascended to the mountain peak.

At the foot of the mountain, lightning soared into the sky, and intense battle sounds continuously echoed.

Deafening roars of beasts resounded through the clouds, as if the entire snowy mountain was trembling slightly!

The team members occasionally looked back, the shock on their faces refusing to fade for a long time.

“Su Lei… How exactly did you do it?”

Lin Qianqian couldn’t help but ask, her tone filled with undisguised admiration.

Just minutes ago, they were ambushed by Lei Qianjue and five Grandmasters, with almost no chance of winning.

But in the blink of an eye, Su Lei not only controlled thirty Martial Masters to turn against them but also swayed one of the enemy’s Grandmasters,

He even incited this terrifying Overlord-level Yao Beast to hunt Lei Qianjue, completely reversing the situation!

This was simply… incredible!

Wang Kai ran wildly, laughing aloud, “Boss, I’m convinced! Completely convinced! That grandson Lei Qianjue is probably regretting it so much his guts are turning green now!”

The other team members also nodded, their eyes sparkling with awe and worship.

They had thought they would surely die today, but Su Lei had forcefully carved out a path to survival in a desperate situation.

Now there were no more obstacles ahead; as long as they reached the mountain peak, they could harvest those precious star marrow!

Chen Xuan followed at the back of the team, his gaze complex as he looked at Su Lei’s back.

During his time in the Western Theater Command, he knew that the other party was no ordinary person.

But he didn’t expect him to have grown to such an extent… controlling thirty Martial Masters with Mental Energy?

Influencing an Overlord-level Yao Beast with mental suggestion?

This had already exceeded the scope of ordinary Mentalists!

“Su Lei.” Chen Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “What Realm has your Mental Energy reached?”

Su Lei didn’t look back, only saying faintly, “Enough to keep us alive.”

He didn’t explain, nor did he need to.

At this moment, his temples throbbed, and his vision swam.

The intense pain of Mental Energy exhaustion washed over his nerves like a tide; each breath felt like swallowing razor blades.

—He was almost at his limit.

He bit the tip of his tongue, and the bloody taste exploded in his mouth, forcing himself to stay awake.

“No time.”

“Split into three teams. I’ll be one team alone, Chen Xuan will be one team, and the rest will follow Lin Qianqian.”

Lin Qianqian suddenly looked up, “But, without Mental Energy scanning, what if we encounter…”

“This is an order.” Su Lei interrupted her, his eyes like knives, “The avalanche and the Yao Beast won’t delay Lei Qianjue for long. We must find the star marrow before he comes back.”

Wang Kai clenched his fists, his knuckles white, but finally nodded heavily, “Understood!”

The other team members also silently accepted the arrangement, without a single question.

Chen Xuan looked deeply at Su Lei, “In your current state… are you sure you want to act alone?”

Su Lei tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Are you afraid I’ll die?”

Chen Xuan gently shook his head, “Alright, the southeast side is my responsibility.”

The wind and snow swallowed his retreating figure.

Lin Qianqian still wanted to say something, but Su Lei interrupted her.

“Meet up alive. That’s an order.”
