Chapter 308 Thunder is Coming_1
Luoyun Mountain Range, northern part.
At the border between Luoyun Mountain Range and Hengyang Mountain Range, within a vast valley.
Here, life thrived; towering trees were everywhere, rivers and lakes densely scattered, and colorful plants dotted the landscape between the mountains and waters.
It was now noon, sunlight scattered across the ground, reflecting a picturesque scene.
Yet within this beautiful valley, a fierce battle was erupting.
Looking over, two demon beasts, one large and one small, were locked in combat.
From their auras, it was clear that they were undoubtedly Third Order demon beasts.
At this moment, anyone who had participated in the defense against the beast tide in Yuyao City would recognize the origins of these two Third Order demon beasts.
The two embattled Third Order demon beasts were none other than the Third Order Wind Dusk Beast that had fled during the great battle in the Tianluan Mountain Range, and the Zhenyang Sect's Third Order spiritual beast, the Tyrant Spirit Ape.
After the battle in the Tianluan Mountain Range, several Third Order demon beasts had scattered in all directions, and among them, the Wind Dusk Beast had fled south for thousands of miles, reaching the border between the Hengyang and Luoyun Mountain Ranges.
At that time, Chen Jingtian and Zhu Yun were each chasing after the escaping Third Order demon beasts, with the Tyrant Spirit Ape relentlessly pursuing this way.
During the chase, the two Third Order demon beasts had fought several rounds, and the Wind Dusk Beast had been wounded before and was constantly at a disadvantage.
However, the Wind Dusk Beast's speed was extremely impressive, and even when suppressed, it was still able to break free from the Tyrant Spirit Ape and continue its escape.
As the Tyrant Spirit Ape gave chase all this way, it had never managed to catch the Wind Dusk Beast and had itself accumulated many injuries.
Therefore, the infuriated Tyrant Spirit Ape kept up its relentless pursuit of the Wind Dusk Beast, vowing to take its life.
In such a situation, the Wind Dusk Beast's predicament became more and more difficult, with each battle adding to its injuries, causing a decline in its speed as well.
In their most recent skirmish, the Wind Dusk Beast, exhausted and severely injured, had nearly lost its life to the Tyrant Spirit Ape.
At the critical moment, the Wind Dusk Beast devised a plan and deliberately fled towards the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.
Depending on its speed and destructive power, even the Defensive Great Formations of the Foundation Establishing Families were mercilessly trampled by it.
Capitalizing on the chaos and with the Tyrant Spirit Ape somewhat reluctant to involve humans, the Wind Dusk Beast temporarily shook off the pursuit and finally escaped all the way here.
Believing this place to be safe, it thought that as long as it could hold on for half a day, with its speed, it could easily enter the territory of the demon beasts.
However, before it could catch its breath and stop, the Tyrant Spirit Ape caught up once again.
Seeing no chance to shake it off, the two beasts were forced into a great battle right there.
Under the relentless assault of the angry Tyrant Spirit Ape, the Wind Dusk Beast was still no match; its injuries were now too severe to bear.
If this continued, it wouldn't last much longer, and the Wind Dusk Beast was sure to meet its end here.
"Roar, roar..."
At this moment, the confidence of the Tyrant Spirit Ape surged; it thumped its chest and roared furiously, then swung its enormous paws, charging at the Wind Dusk Beast.
Though the Tyrant Spirit Ape was not known for its speed, it was clearly less injured than the Wind Dusk Beast.
Thus, the Tyrant Spirit Ape was still quite fast, and its attacks were filled with powerful force.
Seeing the paw drawing nearer and nearer, if struck by it, even at the same Third Order Early Stage rank, the Wind Dusk Beast would undoubtedly die on the spot.
Seeing this, the Wind Dusk Beast was infuriated but did not dare waste time.
At this moment, it suddenly whipped up the wind beneath its feet, its speed surged dramatically, and in a rush, it moved a hundred zhang away.
Seeing the danger averted, the Wind Dusk Beast hesitated not at all and spat out a grey gas from its mouth, shooting it towards the Tyrant Spirit Ape.
Having done this, the vitality of the Wind Dusk Beast decreased significantly, which meant it had activated its Innate Divine Ability, and its wounds had worsened.
"Whoosh..."
The grey gas flew swiftly, instantly forming a fierce tornado that enveloped the Tyrant Spirit Ape.
Having fought many times before, the Tyrant Spirit Ape could not have expected the Wind Dusk Beast to still be able to activate its Innate Divine Ability, and it was caught off guard.
In that instant, unable to dodge and with no way to escape, it had to rely on its defensive power to withstand this counterattack.
"Roar, roar..."
No sooner said than done, the tornado, like countless blades, cut numerous wounds into its body, each one deep enough to reveal the flesh beneath.
At that moment, the expression of the Tyrant Spirit Ape was ferocious, as though it was undergoing intense pain.
The tornado came swiftly and dissipated just as quickly; and after it faded, the Tyrant Spirit Ape was revealed once more.
Now, the Tyrant Spirit Ape's body was covered in blood, and it was riddled with wounds, as if shredded by a thousand knives.
Luckily, its defensive power was exceptionally strong and its vitality robust, plus the Wind Dusk Beast had already activated its Innate Divine Ability multiple times, reducing its potency significantly.
Otherwise, with the Innate Divine Ability at its peak, even with its strong defensiveness, the Tyrant Spirit Ape wouldn't have dared to withstand it so boldly.
Even with the weakened potency of this attack, the symmetry managed to just increase its injuries, unable to kill it outright.
"Roar, roar..."
The surviving Tyrant Spirit Ape roared angrily and immediately turned its gaze around, searching for the Wind Dusk Beast with its blood-red eyes.
However, in the instant it was attacked by the tornado, the Wind Dusk Beast, without looking back, hesitated not and forced its severely injured body to continue fleeing southward.
It was clear that the Wind Dusk Beast seemed to know the tornado wouldn't be enough to deal with the Tyrant Spirit Ape and, before the attack was over, had already turned into a fleeting shadow, widening the gap between them.
