My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

Chapter 219 - 121: Killing for Treasure (Part 2)

’If there really is Earth Vein Yin Marrow, a Yin Marrow Pearl has likely formed. It would be useful for tempering my Mixed Element Gang Body.’

Just as Liang Cheng was plotting his move, the unexpected happened!

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape suddenly opened its eyes!

They were a pair of eyes, crimson as blood, filled with brutality and savagery.

It hadn’t discovered Liang Cheng. Instead, it turned its head toward the valley’s other entrance and let out a low roar.

The fog churned, and four figures slowly emerged from it.

The one in the lead was a pale-faced young man in a green robe with a sinister gaze. The three behind him were all dressed in black, their auras dense. Shockingly, they were all at the True Essence Realm.

"So it really is here."

The green-robed young man looked at the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold sneer. "Everyone, stick to the plan. Trap it, and I’ll retrieve the Yin Marrow Pearl!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

The three men in black responded in unison, quickly fanning out to take their positions.

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape seemed to sense the threat. It rose up on its hind legs, beat its chest, and let out an earth-shattering roar. The rolling sound waves shook the cliff walls, causing stones to rain down.

Liang Cheng held his breath, his focus absolute. He remained hidden in the shadows, watching the events unfold with a cold detachment.

"Go!"

the green-robed young man barked.

The three men in black struck simultaneously, their coordination seamless. Their combined attacks enveloped the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape, which roared in fury and swung its giant palms in response.

But the men in black were elusive and incredibly fast. For a time, they managed to keep the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape tied down.

"We’ve got it trapped! Young Master, go now!"

The green-robed young man sprinted toward the patch of Dark Blue Moss at the base of the cliff. He waved his White Bone Banner, and a gray beam of light shot out, disappearing into a crevice in the rock beneath the moss.

An intense blue light immediately erupted from the crevice!

A dark blue pearl, the size of a pigeon’s egg, slowly floated out. A liquid appeared to be swirling within it.

"The Yin Marrow Pearl!"

A look of ecstasy flashed in the green-robed young man’s eyes as he reached out to grab it.

But in that instant, everything changed again!

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape, which had appeared to be trapped by the three men, suddenly revealed a glint of cunning in its crimson eyes. It opened its massive maw and brought its palms crashing down!

"Oh no!"

one of the men in black cried out in horror.

The four dodged the attack, but their formation was broken. The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape swept its giant palm sideways, swatting the nearest man in black through the air. The sound of cracking bones was sickeningly clear!

Its other palm was already reaching for the green-robed young man’s back!

The green-robed young man’s face fell. Forgetting the Yin Marrow Pearl, he blasted a wave of gray-black True Essence straight at the giant palm.

BANG!

The True Essence scattered, and the palm’s advance slowed slightly. The green-robed young man used the impact to retreat. The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape flew into a rage, ignoring the others and charging straight for the young man, clearly resentful that he had tried to steal its treasure.

The two remaining men in black tried desperately to intercept it, but the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape casually swatted them aside. They were either killed or gravely wounded.

The green-robed young man fell back repeatedly. His longsword wove streaks of gray energy, but it was all he could do to defend himself, and he was constantly in peril.

As the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s giant palm came crashing down again, a vicious glint flashed in the green-robed young man’s eyes. He grabbed a heavily injured man in black beside him and hurled him toward the beast!

"Young Master, you—!"

The man in black shrieked in terror.

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s palm landed, instantly reducing the man to a pulp.

The green-robed young man seized the opportunity to retreat another few dozen feet, bringing him close to Liang Cheng’s hiding spot.

He suddenly whipped his head around to look in Liang Cheng’s direction and offered a cold smile. "Friend, you’ve been watching for long enough. Isn’t it about time you came out to lend a hand?"

A chill went down Liang Cheng’s spine.

’He’d known I was here all along!’

At that moment, the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape also turned its enormous, scarlet eyes toward them. With a roar, it charged!

The ground trembled as a foul-smelling wind washed over them.

Liang Cheng knew he could no longer hide. He simply stepped out, Zhenxian Saber already in hand.

With the tip of his saber angled toward the ground, he looked at the green-robed young man, his gaze as cold as ice.

"A fine trick, leading the trouble my way."

The green-robed young man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced a smile. "This beast is ferocious. If we work together, we both stand to gain. Once we get the Yin Marrow Pearl, we’ll split it fifty-fifty. I, Li Feng, am a man of my word!"

He spoke rapidly, his eyes glued to Liang Cheng’s expression. But Liang Cheng didn’t have time to answer, because the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s attack was already upon him!

A giant palm, like a falling mountain, came crashing down!

Liang Cheng’s figure blurred. He pushed his Wandering Dragon Step to its absolute limit, sidestepping a few feet in the nick of time as his saber flashed to life!

Wind and Thunder Slash·Thunderbolt!

The saber’s light slashed viciously at the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s wrist!

CLANG—!!!

An earth-shattering clang, like metal striking metal!

The dark bluish fur on the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s wrist was sheared away, revealing a white line on the skin beneath. But the blow hadn’t even broken the skin!

’What tough defenses!’

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape roared in pain and fury. Its other palm swept toward him, kicking up a howling gale.

Liang Cheng didn’t dare meet the attack head-on. As he dodged, he formed a sword sign with his left hand, and three streams of Profound Yin Sword Qi shot straight for the Ghost Ape’s eyes!

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape instinctively shut its eyes. The Sword Qi struck its eyelids, leaving behind only three specks of white frost, failing to pierce its defenses.

However, the invading Cold Yin Qi from the True Essence caused the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s movements to stiffen for a fraction of a second.

Liang Cheng seized the momentary opening. True Essence surged into his Zhenxian Saber, which began to glow with a faint golden light!

He brought the saber down in a vertical slash!

The Sword Aura tore through the air with a piercing shriek!

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape seemed to sense the danger. It pulled its giant palm back to defend itself, blocking its chest.

SCHHHK—!

The blade sliced half an inch into the palm before it was stopped by the tough bones within!

Enraged, the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape clenched its fist, intending to shatter the blade!

Liang Cheng decisively wrenched his saber free and shot backward.

The Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape’s fist didn’t stop, smashing into the cliff wall. Its crimson eyes locked onto Liang Cheng and Li Feng as it lunged forward again, its giant palms descending to envelop them both.

Li Feng immediately fell back. "You hold off this beast! I’m going for the Yin Marrow Pearl."

He had expected Liang Cheng to be defeated quickly, but he’d never thought the man could hold his own against the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape for this long. Seeing his chance, Li Feng began to quietly move closer to the Yin Marrow Pearl at the base of the cliff.

Liang Cheng’s figure weaved between the giant palms and their gale-force winds, pushing his Wandering Dragon Step to the extreme. His Profound Yin Sword Qi clung to the Ghost Ape like maggots on a corpse, relentlessly targeting its old wounds and the vulnerable spots on its eyes and nose.
