The Ice-Fire Demon Ape certainly wouldnât let things go easily.
With a roar from his mouth, he swung his fists, launching a red fireball and a blue ice sphere towards the Deer Monarch and Fushan Monarch respectively.
Meanwhile, the red-blue Icefire spirit light surged across his body, and he charged directly at Fushan Monarch.
Boom, boom!
As the two ice-fire projectiles hit their targets, they caused a violent explosion on the spot.
The Deer Monarch sacrificed another segment of Doppelganger Spirit Wood to dissolve the power of the strike using the [Wood Spirit Substitute] Divine Skills, accelerating his retreat to the ground.
Fushan Monarch could only raise a defense and endure, being frozen by the frost power, turning into a giant ice chunk and rapidly falling to the earth.
Then, the grayish [Magnetism Divine Light] surged out, cleansing away the frost power completely, restoring the original appearance of the stone turtle.
But the Ice-Fire Demon Apeâs figure was already rapidly approaching, and if he couldnât be stopped, Fushan Monarch wouldnât be able to touch the ground in time to use his Earth Escape Divine Skills.
Fortunately, Silver Dragon Monarch was loyal enough, directly casting [Dragonâs Leap Across Thousands of Miles] Divine Skills at this moment, appearing in the nearby sky with doubled speed, wielding the [Heavenly Thunder Annihilation Slash] and activating the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Cleaving Sword] to strike at the Ice-Fire Demon Ape.
However, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape seemed to anticipate Silver Dragon Monarchâs intent and didnât dodge at all, seemingly unaware of the lightning blade and flying sword striking from behind, continuing his charge at Fushan Monarch unabated.
The red-blue spirit light on his back shimmered, helping him block most of the power of the two attacks, leaving only two shallow scars on his shoulder and back.
Seeing this situation, Fushan Monarch realized the danger, resolutely controlling the stone mountain on his back to smash into the Ice-Fire Demon Ape.
Boom!
When the Ice-Fire Demon Ape wielded his fists to smash the incoming stone mountain, it unexpectedly self-exploded.
The powerful explosion engulfed him, inevitably slowing him down.
And Fushan Monarch, who had self-destructed the stone mountain, continued his painful dive toward the ground.
Ultimately, when the Ice-Fire Demon Ape rushed out of the explosionâs center, he could only watch helplessly as Fushan Monarchâs massive body disappeared into the earth, vanishing without a trace.
This scene enraged him immensely, causing him to emit a furious howl, then locking his eyes on Silver Dragon Monarch still nearby.
However, Silver Dragon Monarchâs speed wasnât slower than his, far surpassing him in agility.
With a swing of his tail, aided by the [Dragonâs Leap Across Thousands of Miles] Divine Skills, his figure transformed into a silver lightning bolt, shooting toward Green Lotus Peak, within moments covering tens of miles.
Seeing this, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape was further enraged and chased after without hesitation.
And because Zhou Chun and his Demon King Spirit Pets were buying time, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators chasing out also gradually returned to the array.
Zhou Chun, who transformed into the human-faced Feihu, appeared outside the Mountain Gate Great Array and immediately revoked the Secret Technique, separating from Yishan Monarch, then returned to the array together.
"Attention, fellows! Once that demon ape comes over, concentrate your attacks on him together. Donât let him have a chance to breach the formation!"
Upon returning to the array, he immediately ordered the returned Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to focus fire.
Knowing well that with the current state of the [Heavenly Yi Green Dragon Formation], it might not withstand the Ice-Fire Demon Apeâs explosive attack.
Soon after, Silver Dragon Monarch led the Ice-Fire Demon Ape over.
Once Silver Dragon Monarch entered the array, Zhou Chun gave the order, and over a dozen Nascent Soul Stage cultivators activated their signature Divine Skills to strike at the Ice-Fire Demon Ape behind.
Facing such a fierce offensive, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape immediately ceased his pursuit, quickly transforming into a red-blue phantom and leaving the spot.
It was clear that even the formidable Ice-Fire Demon Ape had to temporarily retreat, facing the concentrated fire of over a dozen Fifth Order powerhouses!
Yet, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape evidently wasnât intending to give up easily, soon launching a long-range assault on Zhou Family Mountain Gate from a hundred miles away.
Swinging his fists, he cast red fireballs and blue ice spheres toward Zhou Family Mountain Gate.
But Zhou Chun had anticipated this, having already instructed the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators on how to respond.
Those fireballs and ice spheres were detonated mid-air by the cultivatorsâ Divine Skills long before reaching their destination.
Though the explosionâs power could affect the array here, it wasnât enough to pose any threat to the array.
And once the Ice-Fire Demon Ape dared to approach the array, over a dozen Nascent Soul Stage cultivators would focus fire on him.
After exchanging blows for a while and seeing he gained no advantage, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape considered retreating.
Just then, a piercing boom sounded from afar, with a platinum sword light rapidly approaching Zhou Family Mountain Gate.
Upon realizing this, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape immediately decided to leave.
He could bully Zhou Chun and the others, but facing Tai Geng Divine Venerableâs incarnation was just asking for trouble.
This opponent should be left for "Saint Junior Jin Xuan" to handle!
However, Tai Geng Divine Venerableâs incarnation seemed unwilling to let him go easily, turning the sword light to pursue him directly.
Meanwhile, a transmission flare flew toward Zhou Chun on Green Lotus Peak.
At Green Lotus Peak, Zhou Chun caught the transmission flare, and after reading its contents, he joyfully exclaimed, "Great news! Senior Tai Geng has severely injured that King Fire Flood Dragon, determining that it wonât be able to fight anyone for three to five years. We can strike and annihilate those Demon Beast Army!"
