Ye Mo looked at Yun Shan, who had appeared out of nowhere, also frowning slightly. He said, “You? You are still a member in the Qingyun League, which means you should follow the rules of the test. You have no right to participate in our duel.”

“Yun Baitian is still a member of my family. I plead for you to show mercy on him. Perhaps we can even be friends in future in the Qingyun League,” replied Yun Shan.

“Brother Yun Shan, why are you begging him for mercy? We should kill him now. Heaven is looking down on us, nature is witnessing us. We do not owe anyone any explanation.” Yun Baitian did not expect Yun Shan to bow down to Ye Mo.

“Shut up!” Yun Shan shouted coldly before changing his tone to one of humility and politeness as he spoke to Ye Mo, “Ye Mo, Yun Baitian didn’t know that the three members of the Tianxiang Society are your friends. I hope you can forgive him and show mercy.”

“Hmph, this will be the last time!” With Yun Shan’s tone so reserved and respectful, Ye Mo was not going to make Yun Baitian suffer further. Killing him would have brought him no benefits.

“Still here? What are you waiting for?”

Seeing that Ye Mo had agreed to his pleads, the slightest of a sinister smile was revealed on Yun Shan’s face. “If you need any help in the Qingyun League in future, don’t hesitate to find me. I have a bit of rank and status in the league, if I do say so myself.”

As he spoke, Yun Shan began to leave with Yun Baitian, with the two of them gone in lighting speed.

Yun Baitian was extremely perplexed. Yun Shan was definitely strong enough to block Ye Mo’s attack.

“Yun Baitian, do you really think that I am scared of Ye Mo? If we don’t leave now, there won’t be a chance for us to take care of him later.”

Just as Yun Shan finished his sentence, the whole forest started to shake with dried leaves scattering around, branches shaking wildly, a frightening sound of authority that seemed to suggest the arrival of a monster.

“What is that thing?”

A giant dark shadow cast over the whole forest, threatening to engulf it. Behind the shadow, Yun Baitian saw a 30-feet tall giant ape. The giant ape had golden-colored fur and a pair of bloodshot eyes, similar to that of a fierce devil.

The thick, enormous pair of arms of the giant ape in particular were rested on the ground, seemingly hiding a limitless amount of strength inside of them.

Every time the giant ape walked, the ground trembled violently with gravel scattering around everywhere.

“Is that a Long Armed Ape Monkey King?” Yun Baitian was in shock.

“Yes, and this Long Armed Ape Monkey King is after Ye Mo’s life. It may not have fully developed to its highest level, but its powers is in the Energy Shaping Third Realm at least, perhaps even in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm. The Long Armed Ape Monkey has been one of the four legendary monkeys for centuries with spiritual power passed down through the memories of generations. Not even a warrior in the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm can guarantee victory over it, so what chances do Ye Mo have to keep himself alive?”

Yun Shan explained as he quickened his pace. An evil smile could be seen on Yun Baitian as well.

Ye Mo was the first to react to the Long Armed Ape Monkey King’s arrival. Staring at the Monkey King as it charged towards him with authority and aggression, he immediately understood that this beast was after him.

“Brother Ye Mo, I could feel that something was wrong before, but now I finally understand. Yun Shan basically gave you a death sentence by getting Long Armed Monkey Ape blood on you,” Ling’er called from Ye Mo’s Energy Center, her voice filled with urgency.

Ye Mo recalled what had happened moments ago, and his face changed as realization dawned on him. With a stern look on his face, he spoke.

“You three, hurry down to the Formation Center first. I will hold off the big guy.”

He could feel how scary the Long Armed Ape Monkey King was. He could not guarantee that he could defeat it even if he summoned his Sky Blood Spear.

Li Suifeng and company obviously knew the dangers of the Monkey King. They shouted at Ye Mo wildly, “Ye Mo, are you crazy? Holding it off on your own, are you trying to get killed?”

“Ye Mo, that Monkey King’s power is in the Energy Shaping Third Realm at least, perhaps even the Fourth Realm. No matter how impressive your powers are, you are no match for it. You will not be able to contain it. Let us all escape,” Ling Xue suggested as she attempted to rush over to stop Ye Mo.

Even Tong Qian, who disliked Ye Mo, was moved by his actions. Tong Qian advised, “Ye Mo, I know you mean well, but don’t go punching way above your weight. Let’s escape now, while we still can.”

Tong Qian used to hate Ye Mo because he had taken advantage of Ling Xue. Ye Mo’s arrogance had always greatly annoyed Tong Qian as well. Now, witnessing Ye Mo trying to hold off the enormous Monkey King and letting the rest of them escape first, he immediately felt Ye Mo was a man of generosity and heroism.

“All of you better leave quickly. I’ve fallen for Yun Shan’s schemes – there seems to be blood from the Ape Monkey still on my body, and the scent of it must have attracted the beast to me. No matter how I try to run, I will not be able to escape from the Long Armed Ape Monkey’s pursuit.”

Before he could speak, Ye Mo’s whole body trembled as a huge wave of energy was released, pushing the other three far away. Ye Mo laughed loudly, saying, “Come and get me if you can, beast.”

Whoosh!

Ye Mo took a leap and ran off in the opposite direction with the frightening Monkey King chasing after him after it had changed directions.

“Ye Mo!”

Ye Mo’s attack was gentle, not wounding any of his friends despite pushing them far away. Ye Mo was decisive, leaving no room for negotiation, sending them to a safe place in an authoritative manner.

“Ling Xue, Tong Qian, let us hurry too and fight the Long Armed Ape Monkey to the death. As members of the Tianmeng Society, we cannot be cowards.”

“That’s right, if Ye Mo can do it, what reason do we have to be cowards? Our powers may be limited, but if we can deploy the Tianxiang Formation, we will be able to trap the Monkey King momentarily,” added Ling Xue.

“Calm down, both of you,” Tong Qian immediately exploded. “If Ye Mo is doing this, it surely means that he has a way of exploiting the enemy’s weakness. If we brazenly join in the fight now, won’t that be acting against Ye Mo’s good intentions? We should rush to the Formation Center now, enter the Qingyun League, and seek for help from the experts there.”

“Tong Qian, how can you be like this? I must’ve been mistaken about you,” replied a furious Ling Xue.

“Ling Xue, even if we go there, what can we do? When have I, Tong Qian, ever feared death? At most we will end up as corpses, but will there be any meaning behind us dying?” asked Tong Qian.

“Sister Ling Xue, Tong Qian is right. If we act on our own accord and join in the fight, it will be meaningless. We should hurry towards the Formation Center in the Qingyun League to seek help from the higher-skilled experts.”

The three of them looked towards the direction of where Ye Mo had ran off, clenched their teeth, and made their way to the Formation Center.

Meanwhile, Ye Mo was embroiled in a fierce battle with the Monkey King!

The body of the Long Armed Ape Monkey King had already reached an impenetrable level, which was extremely scary. The few times Ye Mo managed to stab at the Monkey King’s body, he was largely unsuccessful.

A jab at the Monkey King’s body had no effect on its skin. The Black-Rock Wooden Spear that Ye Mo was using, on the other hand, was bent in unimaginable ways.

“Brother Ye Mo, that Long Armed Ape Monkey King’s power has already reached the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm and is able to train its body to reach an impenetrable level. It is going to be very difficult to defeat it!” Ling’er said, shaking her head.

Energy Shaping Fourth and Fifth Realm fighters have reached the level of great strength both on the outside and on the inside. Energy is first used to strengthen the exterior flesh, then used to strengthen the internal organs inside the body. The defence of one’s body is improved by leaps and bounds, similar to a body made of steel.

Not even level one of Dragon Blood strength could reach such scary levels of defence.

“Let’s see if I can reconstruct it with the Sky Blood Spear!”
