until now, from his infant form to his complete form, ah zhou had fought all sorts of transcendent species.

things like flying, metal flames, spirits … they had everything.

he didn’t dare to say that he was knowledgeable, but he was definitely a battle-hardened man.

however, it was a dark gold demonic ape of the same race that was 99.9% similar.

this was the first time.

ah zhou was very excited.

this was an unprecedented and novel experience. he experienced a surge of adrenaline, a rapid heartbeat, a contraction of blood vessels, and an expansion of the respiratory tract.

however, the existence of the calm eyes allowed him to preserve his body’s activity and suppressed the unnecessary emotions and thoughts in his brain.

the shadow demonic ape was the same.

it seemed to be ferocious and every move it made killed ah zhou.

however, every time he attacked, it was not chaotic and without order.

it didn’t matter if he used the ‘smoke’ to cover his body, the ‘hidden shadow’ to shift positions, or the ‘shadow substitution technique’ to avoid fatal attacks.

he still used [ dark sphere of destruction ] to create a diversion, [ air palm ] to disrupt the rhythm, and [ quadruped fist ] to give a desperate blow.

they were all relaxed and at ease.

it was as if everything was an instinct, like an arm directing its fingers, as if he was familiar with it.

it was a fusion of violence and skill, free of any restraints.

ah zhou was actually suppressed at the start. his arms were cracked and his leg bones were broken.

even if he could recover time and time again, the pain was inevitable. it was ten times more painful than frying the fire gu and the nine rotations of the intestine.

as an audience, bai wushang could see it with his naked eyes, and he could also feel the psychological fluctuations shared by the contract.

he only felt extremely worried.

the forceful recall of the light ray was ready to be released at any time.

however, ah zhou managed to withstand it and counterattacked with a disadvantage.

under the pumping of his muscles was a will that never gave up.

under the bloodbath, there was unparalleled valiance and the belief that they would win this battle.

he didn’t leave the last drop of blood, and he didn’t squeeze out the last bit of strength.

it would not stop!

……

after fighting for nearly half an hour, the boiling blood qi had long disappeared, and the rock arm had also disappeared.

even the third eye on his forehead had closed.

ah zhou, who had lost his left arm and leg, did not have enough precious blood to regrow his flesh.

on the other side, the shadow demonic ape seemed to be on the same level.

its legs were still intact.

however, there was a large hole in his chest, and he could see that many of his organs were bleeding.

the speed of flow was very slow, thanks to the remnants of his self-recovery ability.

“roar!”

the two giant apes panted heavily and gradually became the most primitive beasts, engaging in close combat.

it’s either you pester me or i hold you.

fangs, horns, nails, shoulders and elbows … everything that could be used was a weapon.

as they fought back and forth, their injuries were getting worse.

finally, in a narrow gap between attacks, ah zhou took a punch from the shadow demon ape.

he grabbed its arm and thrust the horn on his head into its chest.

then, it opened its mouth and bit down on the other party’s neck.

in just a few moments, the carotid artery was torn open, and blood gushed out.

the shadow demonic ape was in pain, and it swung its fists several times, wanting to withdraw and retreat.

ah zhou didn’t give it the chance.

with a flip of his hand, he pushed him to the ground.

with his knee as the axis, he locked his opponent’s body.

a headbutt, an elbow strike, and a bite.

they were both as fast as lightning and as swift as the wind, attacking with no regard for their lives.

the shadow demonic ape’s head fell off.

however, its lower body was still exerting strength and struggling.

as the only weakness of the dark gold demonic ape, the blood nucleus hidden in its body had not been destroyed.

therefore, in principle, it was half-immortal.

but the other way to die was to use up all of his precious blood.

the blood nucleus could not be destroyed, but the precious blood stored must be provided in a sufficient amount.

otherwise, it could be fatal, such as the head exploding and losing the brain.

if he didn’t recover in time, he would still die!

it was a battle of trapped beasts and trapped birds.

the shadow demonic ape’s struggle gradually turned into twitching, and finally, it quieted down little by little.

it was dead.

ah zhou, who was on the verge of death, had successfully defeated his other self!

excluding the part of luck, the rest was a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life, blood for blood.

even if it was fighting against a stronger transcendent creature.

even if it was to fight against the evil curse, the remnant soul of the king of gluttony.

nothing was as meaningful as this battle.

it was like the eve of dawn, or the first sunny day after a storm.

everything was suddenly enlightened.

the next second, a gust of wind blew.

the withered, weak, half-dead dark gold demonic ape ah zhou.

he raised his head and roared angrily!

in an instant, strong winds swirled and rippled endlessly.

the baleful qi was like a mist, sweeping across his face.

bai wushang retreated another ten steps.

in his surprise, he witnessed the dark gold demonic ape’s aura, which was like a sword cutting through the air.

its body grew by more than a meter, and its loose muscles were full again. the whole ape was given new vitality.

it had advanced.

the middle stage of the perfect body!

“roar!”

as he felt the life force of a withered tree coming back to life, ah zhou let out his pleasure to his heart’s content.

after a while, he lowered his head and walked toward bai wushang.

the corpse of the shadow demonic ape behind him had silently turned into a black shadow and dissipated into the air.

including the blood splattered all over the battlefield, the part that originated from it had all disappeared into thin air.

it was as if it had never appeared.

bai wushang’s gaze shifted back.

there was no warsong at the moment, but in his eyes and ears, ah zhou was stepping on the triumphant war drums. he came to him with joy that rippled through his chest.

it wanted to share its happiness with its master.

what an honorable thing it was to defeat him!

not to mention extraordinary creatures, even if it was bai wushang against bai wushang, he had no confidence at all.

outsiders could still find ways to deal with him.

however, it was easier said than done to defeat and kill his other self who had the same strength and knew himself like the back of his hand.

hence, ah zhou’s defeat of the demonic ape and the baptism of his soul was no less than breaking through the limits of his life.

it was completely understandable and acknowledged that he had advanced to the mid-stage of life, which was only a small step away.

of course, bai wushang had thought this through thoroughly.

plans could not keep up with changes. aunt lu’s unfinished medicine might not be able to be used for a breakthrough.

however, it could still be consumed. it could help ah zhou accelerate his growth in the middle stage of the complete form.

” not bad, you’ve learned another skill. as expected of you! ”

bai wushang’s face was full of smiles. using the knowledge he had, he analyzed, ”

” ‘counterattack’ is a general skill. it’s not too rare, but it’s very practical. ”

” the more damage you take after activating it, the more damage you will receive.

” your next attack will gain a certain amount of enhancement. ”

” however, it’s important to note that the upgrade is a one-time release, and it can only be used on physical skills. ”

” for example, double fist, mountain splitting fist, air palm, and so on. they should be reasonable choices. ”

” skills like the dark element and the ‘vajra’s finger’ released with precious blood have little effect and are difficult to use. ”
