"This beast doesn't have long to live. We shouldn't act recklessly!"
"That's right. The Grand Elder destroyed its meridians, and now it's just struggling before death. By driving it back into the lair, we'll let it die in there when it unleashes its final attack and becomes powerless again. This beast is too ferocious!"
"Yes, let's do it this way."
In the crowd, the Grand Elder issued a stern order, and many elders followed suit.
The massive Purple Ape had a somewhat unsteady gait. It had been driven all the way into the lair. This was the plan: severely injure it and prevent any greater harm, then wait for it to die inside the lair.
"Guard the lair and don't let this beast escape. As soon as it loses its vitality, Feitian can enter and replace his blood with its precious blood!" The Grand Elder commanded.
Many elders followed suit, surrounding the lair.
Directly facing a dying and frenzied Purple Ape was too dangerous, and it could result in the loss of Inner Elders' lives. This method undoubtedly seemed the best.
However, seeing this scene, Chen Feng's expression changed dramatically.
The Purple Ape, in a fit of anger, had been driven into the lair, cutting off his retreat. Nobody could have anticipated that Chen Feng would encounter this situation immediately after his breakthrough to the Mid Meridians Shattering Realm. His escape route had been completely blocked!
Roar!
The Purple Ape let out a long howl, and fresh blood continually flowed from its body, staining the ground red. It furiously entered the lair, constantly crashing into the boulders, venting its anger and the pain of fading vitality. At this moment, it had completely succumbed to madness, devoid of consciousness, only knowing to unleash its anger.
The lair was shaking.
Endless giant stones rolled, and loud noises rang out one after another. The Inner Elders waiting outside the lair were waiting for the final outcome.
"Feitian, are you ready? This Purple Ape is a rare opportunity; it took a great deal of effort for us to trap and kill it. Once it goes completely silent, we'll enter, and you'll replace the precious blood immediately. This blood is extremely valuable and can make your talent the most outstanding in Tianhuang City!"
The Grand Elder's gaze was focused as he kept his eyes on the entrance to the lair.
"Yes, I understand!" Chen Feitian clenched his fists, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Chen Feng? What will you have to compare with me after the blood exchange?
Originally, this Purple Ape was prepared by the Chen family for Chen Feng. However, unfortunately, Chen Feng had become a waste. Therefore, this precious blood naturally became his possession. As long as the blood exchange was done, he, Chen Feitian, would be the pride of Tianhuang City and the number one representative of the Chen family in his generation!
Thinking of this, Chen Feitian's heart could no longer remain calm.
At this moment, within the lair, the Purple Ape went berserk, charging deeper into the lair. Chen Feng's situation instantly became precarious. The colossal Purple Ape crashed into the cave, forcibly pushing Chen Feng out.
"This is bad!" Chen Feng thought in a flash. His figure moved in a frenzy, and he swiftly performed the Gale Step, moving nimbly through the lair.
The situation was highly critical. It was obviously impossible to leave the lair. The Inner Elders had every reason to want to kill Chen Feng now. If he appeared at the entrance, Chen Feng believed that they would not hesitate to attack him. Therefore, he could only confront the Purple Ape within the lair.
With a thought, Chen Feng's expression turned solemn. The beast at the brink of death, so there was still a chance to defeat it.
"Rampant Lion's Roar!"
He turned quickly, avoiding the Purple Ape's attack. He stood upright and clapped his fists together, unleashing a punch. His Vital Essence vibrated without restraint, like an enraged lion, surging forward and directly hitting the Purple Ape.
Bang, bang...
Dust surged, and the cave was shrouded in endless dust. The Purple Ape slammed into the rock wall with great force, growing even angrier. Its eyes turned crimson, and its purple flames raged, raising the temperature dramatically.
"What a ferocious beast! It's almost dying, yet it can still produce such immense destructive power. Fortunately, we didn't enter. Otherwise, we would have suffered heavy losses."
"Yes, the Grand Elder is truly wise!"
The Inner Elders sighed upon hearing the commotion inside the lair and looked toward the Grand Elder, lavishing him with compliments.
At this moment, the battle erupted inside the lair. The massive Purple Ape exhibited extraordinary agility and speed. Under the impetus of impending death, it reached its peak condition. Each movement and action exuded immense power, and its purple flames burned fiercely. Every punch it threw was accompanied by scorching light.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The airwaves were layers upon layers, and endless strength erupted, causing the sound to explode. The Purple Ape took a step forward, displaying unmatched ferocity. The ground rumbled like a rolling wave. Chen Feng's agile figure halted, and he could not utilize the Gale Step's ability to maneuver like the wind. The Purple Ape's single step had instantly disrupted his graceful movements.
Rumble!
With a mighty fist, it shattered the barrier of dust. The surging purple flames and the terrifying power of tens of thousands of jin were sent crashing down.
The Purple Ape was incredibly weak at the moment, but its strength had increased, becoming more formidable and irresistible. Chen Feng shifted his figure, and, at the critical moment, his body trembled suddenly, barely dodging. He managed to avoid the rampaging punch.
Crack!
As his body twisted, it suddenly shook.
After dodging the punch, Chen Feng's figure flashed, his gaze unwavering, and palm imprints were consecutively struck. With each step, each palm, layers of energy accumulated, forming a surging force, like waves surging forth as if a thousand mountains gathered.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three palms were struck in an instant, and with each palm, his footsteps followed closely. They found the gaps in the Purple Ape's punches, targeting its weak points. The vast power surged, and each palm caused the Purple Ape's figure to stagger back.
The vibrations within the lair grew more intense.
After three consecutive palms, the Purple Ape was sent flying, crashing into the rock wall. Its injuries became more severe, and its madness grew more terrifying!
Roar!
The Purple Ape roared, its red pupils locked onto Chen Feng after scanning around the lair. Its eyes were filled with murderous intent!
"Indeed, the Eight-Step Crushing Palms is a martial technique that erupts instantly with immense power, even more potent than the Rampant Lion's Roar. However... using this kind of martial technique is a bit too taxing for my current physical body!" With just one attack, Chen Feng felt his body sore and had a sensation of nearly splitting open.
The power of the Eight-Step Crushing Palm was tremendous, but the consumption was equally astonishing.
Kaba!
Suddenly, at this moment, the Purple Ape fell to the ground, crashing directly into a pool of water in front of the Purple Spirit Flowers. It was as if something had broken. The water in that pool rapidly drained away, revealing a small underground cave. Inside, there were purple flames surging.
Seeing this, the Purple Ape's eyes were filled with panic, as if it feared the purple flames.
"An opportunity!"
Chen Feng saw the situation and his eyes sparkled. Despite the discomfort in his body, he moved forward with determination. With three quick steps, the Eight-Step Crushing Palm surged with power and directly targeted the vital points of the Purple Ape!
