Ch 728: Leaving The Nine Realms Mountain
In the Desolate Mountain, where dust had been stirred up by the King Kong Ape, an arc of Electric Light extended from the sky, instantly traversing a vast distance to land on the foremost ape.
Clang!
After a deafening sound, a gaping wound appeared on the King Kong Ape’s shoulder and neck, a large plume of Blood Mist spraying forth.
“Such strong Defensive Power! My One Sword couldn’t even sever its Head.” Li Hanzhou, somewhat exhausted after his full-power strike, leaped off the severely wounded ape, seeking to regain a safe distance.
Just as Li Hanzhou was about to escape, a yellowish-brown aura enveloped him. Li Hanzhou felt as if his body had sunk into a mud swamp; every movement became difficult and heavy.
“No good! This is the King Kong Ape’s Special Ability!” Li Hanzhou felt as if a Mountain Peak was pressing down on him. Facing the King Kong Ape’s swinging fist, he couldn’t even move half a step.
Bang!
Li Hanzhou only felt a sharp pain before his vision plunged into darkness.
“I’m dead.”
“What a frustrating death.”
Li Hanzhou didn’t wait long before feeling his Divine Soul drift to the ground, with light flickering before his eyes.
He opened his eyes, and before him was the Sixth Floor again, with a hundred King Kong Apes, none of them being the one he had severely wounded.
“In this Virtual Illusion, though death leads to resurrection, enemies revert to their full strength.”
“Wasting time to wear them down isn’t very effective. I need to aim for direct kills. Reducing their numbers will make this battle easier.”
“Compared to the Black Robed Persons on the Fifth Level, the King Kong Apes are larger, more numerous, have stronger Defensive Power, and possess methods that prevent escape.”
“My body is now recovered. Jun Lei has a high probability of instantly killing one, but facing the other King Kong Apes’ assault, I’ll likely die as well. Trading lives is pointless.”
Facing this situation that could be called a desperate deadlock, Li Hanzhou calmly assessed his abilities, pondering possible Methods to Break the Situation.
“The King Kong Ape’s Special Ability only makes my body heavy and prevents escape, but it doesn’t weaken my Physical Body.”
“If my 《Sun Moon Demonic God Diagram》 could be Cultivated to the third level, raising my Physical Body to another level, the King Kong Ape’s fists would be nothing to fear.”
“Unable to escape, I can only clash head-on. If I can withstand the King Kong Apes’ attacks without fear, even if their numbers are greater, they are just lambs to the slaughter, it will just take more time.”
Li Hanzhou, having a solution in mind, boldly walked into the King Kong Apes’ sight.
Although he couldn’t currently contend with them, he had to try, confirming the feasibility of his Method.
“Bring it on!”
Li Hanzhou boldly approached, causing the King Kong Ape group to immediately stir, charging towards him on all fours.
Li Hanzhou stood still. When the King Kong Apes approached within a hundred meters, the yellowish-brown aura appeared again. Li Hanzhou felt his body slow and stiffen, but his Force didn’t change.
“The King Kong Ape’s ability has a range of about a hundred meters. If I use a Ranged Flying Sword…” Li Hanzhou discarded his Long Sword. The materialized Low-grade Spirit Artifact flashed with Electric Light, flying straight towards a King Kong Ape.
Ding ding ding!
Li Hanzhou used all his strength to control the flying sword, but the King Kong Ape’s Defensive Power was extraordinary, only leaving a few White Spots.
“This level’s design is clearly intended to counter me.”
At this moment, the King Kong Apes were already before him. Li Hanzhou had no time to think; after a failed attempt at dodging, he was forced to use Jun Lei again.
Li Hanzhou, almost transformed into lightning, finally broke free from the restraints. A meandering Sword Light followed the King Kong Ape’s arm upward, instantly severing its Head.
“Success! I killed one!” Li Hanzhou felt a sense that even if he died, it was worth it.
Unfortunately, using Jun Lei put too much strain and consumption on his body; he needed a moment to recover before using it again.
“I need to buy some time; I can still kill another one!” Li Hanzhou’s body was slowed, only able to barely dodge and flee, but the King Kong Apes attacking him were too numerous.
Attacks from all directions, ceaselessly, prevented his escape. A huge bronze-colored fist slammed down on him, embedding Li Hanzhou directly into the ground.
Li Hanzhou persisted for a few breaths before his vision turned black; he died again.
“With my current Realm, there’s no way I can pass this level.”
Li Hanzhou calmly thought it over and decided not to waste any more time.
He must quickly break through the 《Sun Moon Demonic God Diagram》 upon returning! He would repay this mortal injury!
“Leave.”
With a movement of Li Hanzhou’s mind, the scene flickered, and he was back at the entrance of Nine Realms Mountain.
The slovenly White-Clothed Scholar was still holding his Wine Gourd and drinking. Li Hanzhou, having urgent business, bowed slightly to him and quickly walked towards the Teleportation Array…
“Hmm?”
The White-Clothed Scholar was quite Curious about Li Hanzhou, a feeling that itched at his heart. Waiting impatiently for his return, he ended up drinking heavily, becoming slightly tipsy.
The moment Li Hanzhou appeared, the White-Clothed Scholar immediately noticed, straightening up to maintain his Expert image.
Li Hanzhou’s hurried exit clearly indicated his failure to pass the Sixth Floor. He was probably at a loss against the King Kong Apes. If he humbly sought guidance, the White-Clothed Scholar might offer some instruction.
“It would also be a good opportunity to ask Li Hanzhou how he passed the Fifth Level.”
The White-Clothed Scholar’s thoughts raced; he had already thought up his response to Li Hanzhou’s request for advice, and even formulated two different approaches if he had to initiate the conversation himself.
But the White-Clothed Scholar never expected that Li Hanzhou would only glance at him before hurrying away as if fleeing.
“Hmm? Qin Luotian showed such respect for me in his presence, yet he doesn’t even have any thought of seeking guidance?”
The White-Clothed Scholar had lost his appetite for drinking. He casually hung his Wine Gourd at his waist, frowning and contemplating the reasons.
At that moment, a tall and thin man emerged from Nine Realms Mountain, looking troubled.
The White-Clothed Scholar, seated cross-legged on the ground, looked over. The man’s gaze met his for a moment before quickly lowering his head, shrinking as he hurried toward the Teleportation Array.
“Come back! I’m not going to eat you, why are you running so fast!”
“Sen… Senior Jiu, you… you called for Junior, is there something…” The man approached trembling, stealing a glance at Senior Jiu, his words catching in his throat.
Seeing the man’s timid demeanor, the White-Clothed Scholar became even more displeased. “You’ve cleared Nine Realms Mountain and will become an Inspector in the Son of Heaven’s Mansion, a face for the Son of Heaven’s Mansion! Why are you so cowardly and timid!”
“Yes… yes… Junior humbly accepts your teachings.” The man dared not quibble, only repeatedly bowing in apology.
Seeing the man’s relatively sincere attitude, the White-Clothed Scholar’s expression softened slightly. “Let me ask you, you failed the level and came out of Nine Realms Mountain; why didn’t you ask me for guidance!”
“Ah?”
