"This beast's senses are surprisingly sharp!"
Yan Qingshan, seeing the Snow Demon Sky Ape rapidly approaching, quickly spread his wings and ascended. The Snow Demon Sky Ape missed its target, roaring angrily below.
This magical beast was extremely ferocious, filled with killing intent towards every living being that approached, as it wanted to ensure its secret was not revealed, the treasure that strengthened it.
"Human, why have you entered my territory?"
Seeing that it couldn't catch Yan Qingshan, the Snow Demon Sky Ape tried to find out why Yan Qingshan had come, whether it was for its secret.
Yan Qingshan soared in the sky, looking down at the Snow Demon Sky Ape below, and said, "What do you think? Snow Demon Sky Ape, there aren't many treasures that can make a fifth-rank magical beast speak human language, are there?"
"Foolish human, with your strength, don't even think about taking... the Core Quenching Body Milk... Retreat now, and I might spare you."
The Snow Demon Sky Ape raised its huge head, its blood-red eyes fixed on Yan Qingshan in mid-air. After a long silence, a low, violent voice suddenly resounded in everyone's ears like thunder.
"I admit I can't beat you, but you can't fly, can you? Now that I've found this place, do you think I'll leave empty-handed? I can't beat you, but you can't fly!"
Yan Qingshan flew around above, moving up, down, left, and right, which infuriated the Snow Demon Sky Ape.
Dou Qi Wings was an advanced Dou Qi technique mastered by human Dou Kings. Magical beasts that hadn't learned Dou Qi Methods couldn't do this.
In fact, unless they were born with wings, most magical beasts couldn't fly until they reached the seventh rank.
However, the reality was different. Sixth-rank magical beasts had high intelligence and could speak human language. It wasn't impossible for them to infiltrate the human world and collect Dou Qi Methods.
"You annoying insect!!!"
The Snow Demon Sky Ape roared, picked up a millstone-sized rock, and hurled it at Yan Qingshan in mid-air. The rock smashed into the spot where Yan Qingshan had been, and more rocks rained down.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape grabbed the surrounding rocks, crushing them into countless pieces with a slight force in its palm. It threw the icy shards at Yan Qingshan's area, scattering them in mid-air and covering a large area.
Even more terrifying, the flower-like stones carried sharp cold energy, constantly freezing and expanding in mid-air while also exploding, covering a much larger area than Yan Qingshan had imagined.
If the icy stones hit his body, his Dou Qi armor might not be able to withstand the attack containing such terrifying energy and force. He would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
After thinking of a way, the Snow Demon Sky Ape attacked Yan Qingshan with both hands, constantly.
"This Snow Demon Sky Ape's intelligence is unusually high, it must be the effect of the Core Quenching Body Milk."
Yan Qingshan constantly flew and changed positions, dodging by kiting from a distance. What the Snow Demon Sky Ape didn't notice was that a rope-like object quietly descended as Yan Qingshan flew, quickly moving after falling into its blind spot.
This Snow Demon Sky Ape was definitely the most intelligent and sharpest fifth-rank magical beast Yan Qingshan had ever seen.
Even though it couldn't fly, it quickly thought of a way to deal with Yan Qingshan, forcing him to dodge constantly. If he wasn't careful with so many stones flying, he could be finished.
"Little insect, I won't let you escape."
The Snow Demon Sky Ape held a pile of rubble in each hand, closing the distance with Yan Qingshan with leaps, shooting stones like locusts, preventing Yan Qingshan from quickly shifting positions to escape. It planned to eliminate Yan Qingshan this way.
But it didn't know that flying Dou skills were even more convenient than bird wings. Ordinary birds couldn't fly straight up from a fixed position, but flying Dou skills could.
Yan Qingshan's pretense of being restricted by the Snow Demon Sky Ape was actually to lure it to the position he needed.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape leapt up again, stepping on a large rock to gain momentum, preparing to step on a small hill in front to continue the pursuit.
This small hill was peculiar, with a crescent-shaped depression at the top, a curved arc of about thirty meters, with a height difference of about ten meters between the two sides and the middle.
Suddenly, two crimson snake heads appeared on the left side of the small hill, their mouths containing powerful energy fluctuations.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape had just passed the position facing the snake heads, exposing its left hindquarters, and it was still five or six meters away from the nearest solid ground of the small hill. But these five or six meters determined its success or failure this time.
A pillar of fire directly hit the Snow Demon Sky Ape's lower back, splashing and bursting open, a cloud of black and red smoke enveloping its entire body.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape immediately condensed frost with its energy, but it couldn't change the result. It was injured by the fire pillar and weakened by the poisonous smoke.
A pillar of fire rose from below, the smoke catching the Snow Demon Sky Ape off guard. Although it instinctively protected itself with frost energy, it couldn't dodge the second pillar of fire.
The powerful force sent the Snow Demon Sky Ape flying upwards, unable to find a foothold and flailing in mid-air.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape felt the wind whistling, something was approaching. Unable to exert force in mid-air, it could only assume a defensive posture, while its fangs opened wide, emitting a low roar, a circle of pale white energy shield surging out of its body like lightning.
The pale white ice energy tried to condense into a ball to protect it, but it was a step too late. The fiery snake tail, like a fire whip, lashed out in mid-air and slammed into its body.
A huge ice ball shattered rapidly and crashed heavily into the rubble not far from the valley entrance.
At the moment of landing, there was another explosion, and the ground was blasted into a deep pit, with arm-thick cracks spreading in all directions.
Two more pillars of fire fell from the sky, accurately piercing the deep pit. Terrified screams came from inside the pit, and then everything fell silent as the fire pillars weakened.
"Chi Lian, your combo is impressive."
Yan Qingshan quickly flew over, riding Chi Lian, who had conjured a pair of crimson fire wings, and flew towards the Snow Demon Sky Ape's location.
His plan wasn't a highly intelligent battle plan. It was essentially using information disparity to ambush the Snow Demon Sky Ape, like hiding in the bushes.
Yan Qingshan had the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent ambush at that position, while he attracted the Snow Demon Sky Ape's attention and lured it over.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape's attention was mostly on him, not as alert as usual, and it was too familiar with the surrounding environment, so it subconsciously didn't notice some subtle changes, which led to this ambush.
Chi Lian's combo was designed and taught by the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor himself. The two snake heads had slightly different flames and fired them in sequence.
The first wave of fire wasn't very powerful, but it contained a lot of smoke, sulfur, and other substances, putting the target in a bad state. The second wave came from below, knocking the target off the ground and preventing it from exerting force.
After knocking the target down, two more pillars of fire were unleashed. This combo was enough to take down most fifth-rank magical beasts.
