Chapter 71: 073: Exotic Beast White Ape, Strength against Strength

"Is that the legendary White Ape?"

At the moment he sensed danger, Jiang Dali’s eyes focused and he took a light breath, placing the saber at his waist and walked towards the cave entrance’s corner.

Suddenly, the view brightened, and he saw a faint green glow illuminating the cave ahead, casting a ghastly and terrifying ambiance.

It was the bioluminescent creatures, mosses, and rocks inside the cave that emitted this light.

All around were ancient woods and new trees, each presenting bizarre shapes.

Some twisted like dragons, others leapt like tigers, creating a unique and rugged yet daunting landscape.

And at the spot where the hoarse growling and breathing were coming from, there was an area as white as jade.

A White Ape with extraordinarily long arms and eyebrows sat there, its frame as large as a grown man’s, completely still, its eyes filled with wariness and ferocity, staring at Jiang Dali who had just appeared at the cave entrance as if confronting him, eerily terrifying.

"Roar!"

The White Ape growled again, suddenly stood up on its hind legs, its eyes shining fiercely as it stared coldly at Jiang Dali, repeatedly striking its chest with both hands and baring its fierce fangs, as if issuing a warning.

"What a fellow! Worthy of being an old monster that has lived for nearly a hundred years."

At this moment, Jiang Dali could see a long blood bar and a string of slightly purplish question marks emerging above the White Ape’s head and couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, his expression grave.

This White Ape was even more powerful than he had anticipated.

It was probably a genuine Exotic Beast, and its combat power might be comparable to an expert at the Bursting Energy Realm.

Even though Jiang Dali was confident in his Martial Arts cultivation and believed that he could take on challenges above his level without any problems, he did not have any assurance that he could kill this Exotic Beast White Ape.

Speaking of this White Ape, its hair was not originally white, but in fact, it was called a Grey Ape, with quite an origin.

More than ninety years ago, Western Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kesi stole the Lengjia Sutra, which contained the Nine Yang Divine Skill, from the Shaolin Temple’s Scripture Pavilion and were pursued by Master Jueyuan to the summit of Hua Mountain.

Realizing they could not escape, they happened to have a Grey Ape by their side and came up with a plan: they cut open the Grey Ape’s belly and hid the scripture within.

Later, when Jue Yuan, Zhang Sanfeng, Yang Guo and others searched Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kesi, they found no scripture and allowed them to take the Grey Ape down the mountain.

Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kesi brought the Grey Ape back to the Western Regions.

Both harbored misgivings, each fearing that the other would learn the Martial Arts from the scripture first and kill them, so they kept each other in check and delayed taking the scripture out from within the ape.

Eventually, they reached Jingshen Peak on Kunlun Mountain, where they plotted against each other and ended up both gravely wounded. The Nine Yang Divine Skill thus remained in the Grey Ape’s belly.

As Jiang Dali remained on alert, the White Ape saw the intruder was not leaving and grew impatient, bellowing loudly. Suddenly, its long arms flexed forcefully, and its legs kicked off the ground fiercely, lunging at Jiang Dali with an evil gust of wind.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

In the blink of an eye, the White Ape’s long arms smashed out dozens of punches, causing fierce winds that echoed throughout the cave.

Its enormous fists tore through the air, producing explosive booms aimed at Jiang Dali’s entire body, the threat was overwhelming.

In such a short time, the distance of the space was crossed.

"Good! Bring it on!"

Jiang Dali couldn’t help but shout in surprise, emitting a roar like a ferocious tiger. His body shifted slightly, his muscles and bones thundering, his skin turned the color of green gold, his limbs and backbone tensed like a fully drawn bow, throwing punches with both fists.

Boom—

Terrifying Fist Power enveloped in dense Qi waves made the air quiver.

In a flash, he threw punches in every direction, which seemed to multiply into eight, resembling eight formidable and fearsome arms.

Four Directions Fist—Eight-Armed King!

Bang clack clack—

A series of incredibly intense and dense explosions erupted!

As the man and the ape collided with their fists, the air seemed to explode, releasing a torrent of strong wind and Qi waves.

Jiang Dali felt like a sack being violently thrown five meters away, the impact shattering an ancient tree. It felt as though his chest had been struck by a hammer—a bout of suffocation followed by what seemed like a gush of fresh blood.

A large "-110" floated above his head, shockingly indicative of the damage taken.

"How strong! Has my strength actually been overpowered for the first time?"

Jiang Dali was filled with alarm as he quickly flipped to his feet.

"Roar!"

The White Ape seemed to be momentarily stunned, not expecting that the clawless creature before it could withstand so many of its punches without dying. After a brief pause, it lunged to attack viciously once again.

"This time I won’t hold back anymore."

Jiang Dali no longer chose to meet force with force. Seeing the White Ape pounce, his eyes blazed with murderous intent as he roared and drew his saber.

Whoosh—

A brilliant, sun-like golden light instantly burst forth from the saber’s scabbard.

Under the effect of special gold powder, the light was dazzlingly blinding.

To a creature like the White Ape that lived in the dimly lit caverns, the glaring golden light was jarringly bright, causing it to panic and abruptly halt its charge.

"Die!—"

Jiang Dali’s narrowed eyes flashed fiercely!

Swoosh—

Jiang Dali’s body surged forward, the garments stretched over his large frame remaining still.

His body moved like a fierce tiger or a wild dragon; a five-meter distance, bridged in an instant.

With a resounding clash, the Nine-Ring Saber vibrated, emitting a terrifying, heart-palpitating demonic sound. The sharp blade, wrapped in powerful saber Qi, bore down on the White Ape.

"Roar!—"

The White Ape sensed the danger and quickly crossed its arms, forming a shield as thick as they were, stopping the sharp saber blow.

Crack—

The keen edge of the blade sank deep into its flesh, but surprisingly, it did not sever the White Ape’s arms.

"What a beast!"

Jiang Dali was even more shocked, as the White Ape’s physical resilience was almost on par with his own when he was in the state of practicing his Cross Training.

The White Ape roared in pain and counterattacked with furious madness, its offense resembling the frenzy of a deranged animal.

However, with Jiang Dali’s wealth of combat experience and incredible speed against the White Ape, which was less agile due to its bulky form, he was able to nimbly maneuver in tight spaces, relying on the Golden Nine-Ring Blade to leave horrendous wounds on the White Ape’s body.

Despite the White Ape’s berserk and dangerous attacks, Jiang Dali, having practiced the Iron Cloth Shirt, Golden Body Skill, and the Thirteen Grand Protectors Training, was extremely resilient—his body might as well have been made of iron.

In less than fifteen minutes, the White Ape was exhausted from excessive blood loss, its iron-like long arms almost completely disabled.

At that moment, Jiang Dali suddenly sheathed his saber and retreated, calmly addressing the blood-drenched, still fiercely glowering White Ape.

"You are an Exotic Beast and should roughly understand what I’m saying. As long as you submit to me, I could spare your life. What do you say?"

At this point, killing the White Ape would be an easy task for Jiang Dali.

But for such a creature that had lived nearly a hundred years and had even consumed an Immortal Peach, he was somewhat reluctant to just kill it off.

Even though the White Ape couldn’t compare to a Fire Qilin, a Phoenix, a giant dragon, or other holy beasts,

and perhaps not even up to Brother Eagle of Yang Guo.

It was still a rare creature a step below.

If it could be subdued, it would become another powerful pet for him after the Sword Gate Demon Hawk, potentially serving as a Village Guardian Spirit Beast for his Mountain Village...
