Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Protected Lin Xiu
In the field, before the discussion could progress, the Snow Demon Sky Ape, sensing the presence of several individuals, couldn't contain itself any longer.
It raised its black iron-like claws and slammed them heavily onto its chest covered in white fur.
A visible wave of energy suddenly spread out.
Some nearby boulders, upon being struck, showed cracks on their surfaces.
"You foolish humans, don't think about taking the Core Quenching Body Milk! Leave now, and I might spare your lives!"
The Snow Demon Sky Ape lifted its huge head, its blood-red eyes staring fiercely at the group.
Thinking that displaying anger could scare them away.
Unexpectedly, after it personally confirmed it, the few individuals who had been arguing with Lin Xiu Ya and Yan Hao fell silent all at once.
"Did everyone hear that? This big guy just admitted it himself."
Yan Hao pointed at the Magic Beast with his hammer, emitting undisguised mockery.
"If we had known it had such low intelligence, we could have just asked it directly."
"If it didn't speak up, you wouldn't have known it could talk either."
With the confirmed news of the Core Quenching Body Milk, the atmosphere among the group noticeably improved.
Although the Snow Demon Sky Ape couldn't fully understand the meaning behind their words, it could read their expressions and laughter.
"Roar!"
With a roar, the Snow Demon Sky Ape stomped its foot fiercely on the ground.
The entire valley shook violently!
Utilizing this powerful thrust, it transformed into a white lightning bolt, rushing towards Yan Hao at the forefront.
The extended claws exuded a chilling aura, swiftly condensing, and in the blink of an eye, formed a cold ice claw over half a foot long.
The claw aimed directly at Yan Hao's heart.
"Be careful!"
Lin Xiu Ya hastily warned.
This beast's attack was unexpectedly ruthless, filled with sharp killing intent!
It was evidently thoroughly enraged, moving with murderous intent!
It was surprising that despite its massive body, the Snow Demon Sky Ape could move so swiftly.
As the primary target, Yan Hao seemed momentarily stunned.
Fortunately, due to his frequent combat experience, he immediately adjusted, swinging his iron hammer almost instinctively.
The speed and force were so great that it caused the air to emit a piercing scream as they clashed.
Bang!
The hammer collided with the ice claw, producing a deafening sound.
Yan Hao was sent flying, breaking over a dozen giant trees along the way before stabilizing his figure.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, which he wiped away casually. "Indeed, you're worthy of being the mighty Snow Demon Sky Ape known for your strength! But thinking you could kill me with one blow is a bit far-fetched!"
"If you're not dead, hurry up and come help, less talk."
Lin Xiu Ya, sword in hand, charged out and blocked the Snow Demon Sky Ape's retreat.
The others also rushed forward one after another, surrounding the Snow Demon Sky Ape.
"Here I come, don't rush!"
Yan Hao, hammer in hand, rejoined the battlefield.
Each swing was forceful, creating a whistling sound that made the surrounding inner courtyard disciples instinctively avoid.
Except for Yan Hao, who dared to get close, the others used Dou Qi to attack.
Surrounded in the middle, the Snow Demon Sky Ape was bombarded with various colored Dou Qi, causing large chunks of ice and white fur to fall to the ground.
"Senior Sister, I'll go help them," Lin Xiu volunteered.
Although Lin Xiu Ya and the others had suppressed the Snow Demon Sky Ape, they hadn't actually caused much real damage.
Magic Beasts of the Fifth Rank, like this one, often possess intimidating physical strength.
If they couldn't inflict some damage, given its recovery speed, it wouldn't be long before Lin Xiu Ya and the others would fall into a disadvantageous position.
"No, Junior Brother, this is too dangerous!"
Han Yue grabbed Lin Xiu, not giving him a chance to break free, her expression very serious. "I brought you here to offer you an opportunity, not to put you in harm's way."
She was well aware that Lin Xiu was more formidable than herself.
But now they were facing a Fifth Rank Magic Beast. Lin Xiu Ya and Yan Hao had both been training in the inner courtyard for three to four years.
They hadn't gained any advantage; Lin Xiu's training time wasn't even half of theirs. They couldn't let him take the risk.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Lin Xiu Ya hasn't made a real move yet. They hold the second and fourth positions on the Strong Rankings; there must be a reason for that."
Han Yue comforted him.
For the moment, unable to break free, Lin Xiu felt somewhat helpless.
Even if he were to claim to be a Dou King, he doubted Senior Sister would believe him.
He could sense that Han Yue was genuinely concerned for his safety.
"Okay, Senior Sister, I'll listen to you."
Lin Xiu no longer insisted.
After all, he could handle a Snow Demon Sky Ape on his own if need be. He could always intervene once they were defeated.
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Han Yue visibly relieved.
"Just focus on collecting the Core Quenching Body Milk," Han Yue was confident in the people she had chosen.
In the distance.
"Well done, Senior Sister Han Yue!"
Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his tense heart returning to its place.
"Old man feels that you should find an opportunity to intervene later, preferably by joining them."
Yao Chen suddenly spoke.
"Teacher, do you think Lin Xiu will intervene later?" Xiao Yan asked with a furrowed brow.
"Yes! With those few people, they definitely won't be able to deal with the Snow Demon Sky Ape. Once they are defeated, unless Lin Xiu intends to take all the credit for himself, he will definitely help," Yao Chen said.
"Take all the credit? That's impossible. According to our investigation, Lin Xiu has always been fair-minded. Since Senior Sister Han Yue invited him, he will definitely lend a hand," Xiao Yan said.
These days, Xiao Yan had been trying to get closer to Lin Xiu, so naturally, he had done some investigation on him.
Among other things, he had investigated Lin Xiu's relationship with his mentor, Huo Lan, and some other trivial matters.
According to Hu Jia, Lin Xiu is a man of his word.
And Lin Xiu usually has a bottom line even when taking advantage of situations; not all advantages are taken solely for himself.
"Especially when others treat him well, Lin Xiu will always remember it."
Xiao Yan learned this from his cousin, Xiao Ning, when he mentioned a person named Lin Dun in his dormitory.
"But Teacher, how can I join in? If I show up now, they won't voluntarily include me," Xiao Yan said, looking troubled.
"Just wait, there will be opportunities. The Snow Demon Sky Ape is becoming increasingly agitated; it's likely to enter a frenzy soon," Yao Chen said.
On the other side.
"Yan Hao, block it!" With a green long sword in hand, Lin Xiu Ya's voice was heavy.
In mid-air, a terrifying force was brewing.
Yan Hao and the others immediately understood that he was about to unleash a powerful move.
They immediately intensified their attacks, restraining the Snow Demon Sky Ape and not giving it a chance to interfere with Lin Xiu Ya.
"Junior Brother, you see I was right, don't you?" Han Yue pointed at the Snow Demon Sky Ape, showing signs of unease and panic.
The more unsettled it became, the more it indicated the threat posed by the onslaught Lin Xiu Ya had unleashed.
"Be careful, Brother Lin!" However, Lin Xiu realized the intent of the Snow Demon Sky Ape and loudly warned.
Suddenly, the Snow Demon Sky Ape erupted with waves of cold air, forcing Yan Hao and the others back, then swiftly dashed towards Lin Xiu Ya in mid-air.
Its massive claws reached for Lin Xiu Ya's head.
If this attack landed, it would undoubtedly result in a gruesome outcome.
"Lin Xiu Ya!"
"Old Lin!"
"Senior Brother!" Yan Hao, Han Yue, and the others witnessed this scene and couldn't help but cry out in shock.
At this moment, Lin Xiu Ya was unable to leverage any support in mid-air, without even a chance to dodge.
"Oh no, it's too far, I won't make it in time to save him."
In the forest, Xiao Yan realized this was a perfect opportunity. If he could save Lin Xiu Ya, he would definitely be able to join them.
However, his Purple Cloud Wings had limited speed.
Lin Xiu's feet shimmered with lightning, a sign that the Three Thousand Lightning Movements had been activated.
But just as he was about to dash out, he suddenly stopped.
