Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Adding Trouble (Three More)
The chimpanzee and the lion had been fighting continuously for an hour, both of their physical strengths were greatly depleted, and they began to pant heavily. However, neither could gain the upper hand over the other.
Especially after they had transformed, the direct confrontations of punches and claws were extremely draining of their Qi.
Bang!
The lion launched another Ice Ball attack at the chimpanzee.
The Ice Ball exploded, and a side was shrouded in ice fog, instantly freezing everything in the vicinity.
At the same time, the chimpanzee’s Hurricane Wind Blade swept away the incoming Extreme Cold Ice Fog.
Just then, the lion felt the ground beneath its feet suddenly shake violently, and a powerful surge erupted from the ground, causing its body to stumble and nearly fall.
A huge spike burst through the ground, directly hitting the rocks beneath the lion’s feet, and large pieces of rock were thrown into the air.
Boom!
The gorilla threw a punch, bringing in a strong storm.
The enormous ground spike surged upwards rapidly, generating even more powerful shockwaves.
The lion’s body swayed a few times, it just managed to swing its claw to fend off the storm from the gorilla’s attack, but ultimately, it couldn’t withstand the simultaneous attack from both forces. The massive body staggered, and then with a thud, it fell to the ground.
Yang Xiao had been waiting for this opportunity for a full hour.
Following that, Yang Xiao summoned the Black Hole Swallowing power, and a huge Monster head appeared from mid-air. Just as the lion got up from the ground, a hundred-meter-wide vortex had already formed nearby.
The strong suction directly pulled the massive body of the lion several meters.
The lion was shocked, it let out a huge roar, its four huge claws pressed down on the ground, clinging desperately to the rocky surface.
Seeing this situation, the chimpanzee finally couldn’t contain its grin and laughed heartily.
"Heh heh... Annoying lion, pretty impressive, my brother, huh? Heh heh..."
The lion managed to choke out a sentence that nearly made Yang Xiao faint:
"Attacking from the shadows isn’t the mark of a true warrior!"
Yang Xiao held back his laughter, focusing his concentration on controlling the Black Hole Swallowing.
After the lion had transformed, its strength was phenomenally great. It raised a forepaw and slammed it down on the hard rocky ground with a boom, creating a half-meter-deep crater.
It thrusts its claw into the crater, bracing hard, then lifted another claw and stretched forward, slamming it down to create a similar depression.
"This crappy hole, you think it can trap me? Humans, you really underestimate me, the Lion King."
The lion’s limbs kept striking the ground, advancing forward, and it was about to break free from the Black Hole’s swallowing grasp.
Yang Xiao gave a look to the chimpanzee, shouting:
"Black Jinkang, attack!"
The chimpanzee, hearing Yang Xiao’s command, strode forward with huge legs, raised his enormous fists, and pounced towards the lion on the ground.
In an instant, Yang Xiao canceled the Black Hole Swallowing, to avoid interfering with the chimpanzee’s attack.
Shocked, the lion suddenly felt an intense killing aura from the attacking chimpanzee. It was too difficult to dodge; it barely managed to summon a Defensive Light Shield to protect its body.
Boom!
The fist of the chimpanzee smashed onto the lion’s back, and the lion’s Defensive Light Shield was suddenly deformed, sticking close to the lion’s body.
The lion’s arched body suddenly felt a jolt of pain in the spine; its body went limp, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Barely, the lion leaped up and bolted forward several dozen meters, then turned around, glaring angrily at the chimpanzee.
"Cough, cough..."
The Lion felt a surge of pain and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, having just been harshly struck by a punch from the Black Jinkang. Thankfully, the Defensive Light Shield had taken some of the impact; otherwise, it might have resulted in a broken spine.
The Lion had barely spat out the blood when things turned dire.
A chilling Killing Aura approached from behind, and turning, it saw a hundred-meter-long tail of a giant Monster sweeping towards it.
At the same moment, the Black Jinkang naturally wouldn’t pass up such a perfect opportunity. It leaped into the air and punched towards the Lion, a fierce Killing Aura accompanied by a huge gust of wind sweeping toward the Lion.
The Lion let out a furious roar, swiping its left claw to counter Yang Xiao’s Sweeping Void while using its right claw, enveloped in a Defense Light Screen, to fend off the attack from the Black Jinkang.
Boom!
Yang Xiao’s attack arrived first, the giant Monster’s tail directly striking the Lion’s left claw.
The Lion grabbed the Monster’s tail with its left claw and squeezed hard; a snapping sound was heard, and the massive tail immediately broke into two pieces.
Bang!
The fist of the Black Jinkang came smashing down.
The Lion’s right claw, with the Defense Light Screen, desperately held on.
The Defense Light Screen vibrated violently, cracks appearing all over it.
The Lion could no longer hold on, its body trembling incessantly, it retched, a mouthful of fresh blood spraying out, its massive body flung dozens of meters to the left, stumbling to the ground and rolling before swiftly standing back up.
At that moment, Lan Xin and others arrived by leaping over.
Everyone was firstly frightened by the hulking size of both the Black Jinkang and the Lion, then delighted to see Yang Xiao unharmed.
Lan Xin, overcome with excitement, called out while flying toward Yang Xiao:
"Yang Xiao!"
Lan Xin ran to Yang Xiao, but completely forgot about the two King Level Mutant Giant Beasts nearby.
The Lion, injured and severely drained of its Qi, was looking for a way to escape when it suddenly saw Lan Xin running towards Yang Xiao. With a leap, it positioned itself in front of Lan Xin and reached out a giant claw towards her.
Lan Xin felt a tightness in her body as she was constrained by a tremendous force. Turning her head, she saw the twenty-meter-tall Lion using its paw to grab her, her heart filled with shock.
Yang Xiao never expected that Lan Xin and others would rush in at a critical moment. Seeing Lan Xin caught by the Lion, he panicked and with a roar charged at the Lion, unleashing several One Finger Splitting Earth in quick succession.
The Lion had been on guard against Yang Xiao and leapt up to avoid the intense shock coming from the ground as the spikes emerged.
After all, the Lion was a King Level Mutant Monster that, when prepared for Yang Xiao’s attack, could deal with it with ease.
However, as Yang Xiao released four consecutive One Finger Splitting Earth, the Lion was pressured into a rather embarrassing struggle, landing only to be forced to hop and dodge, coated in dust.
The Lion was particularly wary of Yang Xiao’s Black Hole Swallowing, fearful of being controlled by it again, knowing if the Black Jinkang landed another punch it would be finished.
The Lion clung to Lan Xin, who was restrained by the Lion’s strength, utterly unable to launch any attack. Her heart raced with fear, thinking, "Is this my end? Am I about to die at the hands of a Lion? Will Yang Xiao be moved?"
But then she thought again and realized it wasn’t right; she hadn’t saved Yang Xiao and seemed to have had no effect, even making matters worse. How could Yang Xiao be moved? She’d be lucky if he didn’t scold her for being a burden.
Thinking this, Lan Xin felt a deep sense of grievance. Wasn’t she just adding chaos?
The Black Jinkang, upon seeing so many people invade this place, paused for a moment, then understood they were all friends of Yang Xiao, probably in search of him.
Seeing the Lion clutching a girl, with Yang Xiao desperately attacking the Lion, the Black Jinkang roared and charged over.
Zhi Ruo, Ben Yin, Zhang Hai, and others also readied themselves, preparing to join in the assault on the Lion.
The Lion, having evolved to King Level and now possessing a certain level of wisdom, surveyed the surroundings and then stood still. Holding Lan Xin in its right claw, it shouted loudly:
"Stop, strike me again and I’ll crush her with one swipe!"
