My ancestors were spiritual plant growers, so it's not surprising that I hunt demons every day,

"It's a leopard ape!"

Xue Changye stood in front of Cui Ying, gazing at the pairs of eerie green eyes in the bamboo forest ahead, his expression somewhat grave.

"And there's more than one!"

Cui Ying and her companion stood motionless at a distance. In the jade bamboo forest around them, several giant demonic beasts, each nearly ten feet in size and with leopard-like markings and ape-like bodies, slowly strolled out. Their imposing aura forced the three phantom wolves that had charged out to retreat repeatedly.

These leopard apes were covered in colorful fur, and their eyes gleamed with a chilling blue light, making them extremely eerie.

At the command of the largest golden leopard ape, all the other demonic beasts suddenly opened their mouths wide, unleashing rings of sonic attacks. Then, they moved, transforming into afterimages as they charged straight at the two.

"Do it!"

Upon seeing this, Xue Changye also let out a low shout, and his aura suddenly surged. At the same time, the bone chain around his neck immediately blurred in a pale white mist.

It transformed into a giant bone demon with a bull's head and a human body, and charged wildly toward one of the leopard-patterned apes.

At the same time, he flicked his sleeve, and a small bow made of white bone appeared in his hand. Moreover, the pale white smoke on his body churned violently and then condensed into a white palm, which he slapped out towards the other side.

The phantom wolves at his feet stopped retreating and, at their master's signal, began to bite at one of the smaller gray leopard apes.

Upon hearing this, Cui Ying moved without hesitation, picked up a blue leopard-tailed ape, and charged over to fight it.

The most powerful golden leopard ape on the opposite side raised its head and let out a long roar. It clenched its fists and pounded its chest. As its fur began to fall, it suddenly transformed into a colossal creature more than three zhang tall. Without saying a word, it punched the white palm.

At the same time, he raised his foot again and kicked the bull-headed bone demon that was rushing towards him with lightning speed.

Two sounds, "plop" and "plop".

The white palm was immediately shattered by the blow. Although the bull-headed bone demon managed to block with both hands, he was still sent flying by a kick, as if he were completely vulnerable.

Xue Changye was startled. Without thinking, he swung the bone bow in his hand against the wind, and it immediately transformed into a huge bow and arrow three feet long. As soon as he pulled it back, countless white smoke surged into it and condensed into white bone arrows.

With a flick of his wrist, the bone arrow vanished into thin air in a blur.

"roar~"

Almost simultaneously, the giant golden leopard ape opposite them suddenly paused, then opened its mouth wide, and with a violent roar, a white sonic wave swept out.

The first bone arrow appeared out of thin air, just a few feet away from the leopard ape, and after only managing to advance a foot or so with difficulty due to the sound wave obstruction, it came to a quiet stop.

There was a "pop" sound.

With a wave of its massive golden leopard-patterned ape paw, it grabbed the bone arrow and crushed it with a single squeeze.

Upon seeing this, Xue Changye's eyes flashed with horror, and his heart sank slightly, realizing that he had underestimated this golden leopard ape.

Fortunately, he only needs to focus on dealing with this one enemy for now.

As Xue Changye pondered this, he began chanting incantations, and the white mist around his body began to swirl wildly, creating a very imposing sight.

The giant golden leopard ape opposite him strode directly toward Xue Changye.

With a series of whooshing sounds, Xue Changye conjured five phantoms that flew out from their original spot and simultaneously fired five white bone arrows at the charging golden leopard ape.

Upon seeing this, the giant golden leopard ape was first taken aback, but then immediately flew into a rage, grabbing several times in the air with both hands, and instantly several black boulders materialized out of thin air.

A few "whoosh" sounds.

The giant golden leopard ape swiftly projected the black boulder floating in the air, instantly striking four bone arrows which then dissipated like bubbles.

A single bone arrow flashed and pierced the golden leopard ape's arm from behind.

Meanwhile, Cui Ying moved with a ghostly grace, flashing past the small blue leopard ape whose leg was being held tightly by Ta Xue. At the same time, several silver streaks flashed by, slicing it into several pieces, and blood stained the grass red.

Without pausing, Cui Ying raised one hand and sent four or five ice spikes, each several feet long, hurtling towards another leopard ape that had pounced on her.

At the same time, Cui Ying had already moved several times to get closer. With a flick of her wrist, she shook the Yao Guang sword, and immediately four or five chilling silver sword energies shot out towards the opposite side in one go.

Seeing this, the yellow leopard ape let out a threatening growl, summoning a stone wall to block the sword energy. With a swing of its arms, it actually uprooted a thick ancient tree and swept it towards Cui Ying. Before it could actually hit her, an invisible force pressed down on Cui Ying.

A glint flashed in Cui Yingmei's eyes, and with a twist of her body, she floated up like a willow leaf, propelled by an invisible force, and drifted over the ancient tree that was sweeping towards her.

At the same time, she muttered incantations while making a hand seal, and with a flick of her wrist, three ice spikes, each over a foot long, shot out.

But no one noticed that at the moment the ice spike was shot out, a wisp of dark light shot out from Cui Ying's fingertip from behind it.

The yellow leopard ape, naturally unaware of the hidden mechanism, slammed its two large, furry paws together, crushing the three ice spikes.

But in that instant, the dark light flashed and disappeared, piercing through the yellow leopard ape's right eye with indescribable speed.

With a piercing scream, the yellow leopard ape collapsed to its knees in excruciating pain.

Watch as it transforms into a one-eyed ape with its face covered in blood, then stands up again, roaring and charging at him recklessly.

Cui Ying pursed her lips, then suddenly stepped on the ground with one foot and flew backward instantly.

But just as the yellow leopard ape staggered two steps, another strange change occurred beneath its feet.

The ground, overgrown with weeds, quietly cracked open, and two silvery-white forepaws instantly emerged, clamping down on a furry toe with lightning speed.

The yellow leopard ape let out another strange cry, and almost instinctively bent down, reaching out its palm to scoop downwards.

With a loud hissing sound, more than a dozen golden threads shot out from the soil and pierced through the large hand in a flash.

The yellow leopard ape cried out in pain again, but in its rage, it suddenly clenched its other large hand into a fist and slammed it hard into the ground with a gust of wind.

There was a loud "boom".

A three-foot-wide crater appeared directly in the ground, and the little golden scorpion was thrown out, its head and tail stiff, looking as if it had almost fainted.

The yellow leopard ape, its face contorted in a ferocious grin, stomped its foot with tremendous force, sending the small golden scorpion from the edge of the pit flying into the air. Then, with a single scoop, it caught the scorpion between its fingertips.

Then it opened its blood-red maw, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and raised its hand to put the little golden scorpion into its mouth.

It was clear that it wanted to tear it to pieces to vent its anger.
