"Arooo!"
Agony flooded the Titan Ape's heart, igniting its rage. It roared in utter fury!
Then, its left arm lashed out, transforming into a blur as it slammed towards Jiang Li.
The next instant!
The Titan Ape's eyes widened again, a flicker of fear crossing them!
Because it saw!
The Blood Shadow Battle Sword that had injured it was now being relentlessly fired from a strange box!
This time!
There were twenty-four of them!
"Swish," "Swish."
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Ignoring the searing pain, the Titan Ape lashed out with lightning speed, trying to swat Jiang Li out of the air.
The terrifying sonic booms nearly deafened the other apes. The resulting shockwaves sent weaker apes flying, crashing into the hillside. Rocks and stones tumbled down, hinting at a landslide.
Many apes were directly crushed by the falling boulders.
Jiang Li, stepping on his flying sword, drew an eerie arc in the air, like a flickering white light.
Indeed, different!
Jiang Li's figure spun, his eyes focused.
The other eighteen SS-grade Blood Shadow Battle Swords emitted a simultaneous sound as they descended.
"Buzz!"
Following that, they crisscrossed and pierced into the ape group.
"Swish!"
Zhao Ruo, having just slashed open two high-level beast generals with her long blade, was confronted with the giant palm of a low-level Lord Great Strength Demon Ape, which was already slapping towards her.
"Not good!"
A massive beast's paw blotted out the light, a summons from the reaper himself, bearing down on Zhao Ruo.
"If I don't die, I'll be crippled!"
Zhao Ruo's expression turned grim, her face paling as she desperately wielded her hexagonal shield to brace for the impact.
'Swoosh!' 'Swoosh!'
'Swoosh!'
From the side, three streaks of crimson light, swift as lightning, pierced the Great Strength Demon Ape's arm with perfect accuracy. The immense force of the strikes forced its attack to veer off course, slamming down six meters away from Zhao Ruo.
Boom!
It was like a meteorite strike, creating a massive crater.
"Jiang Li, thank you!"
Zhao Ruo immediately felt like she'd survived a disaster. She looked up to express her gratitude, but then her expression suddenly changed, and she showed a look of horror: "So, so many!"
In mid-air.
There were actually thirty or forty Blood Shadow Battle Swords circling, completely exceeding her understanding of a mentalist.
Everyone knew Jiang Li was strong, but how strong exactly was never defined.
And at this moment!
It wasn't just Zhao Ruo who had this thought.
The Titan Ape was already covered in blood. Seeing more and more Blood Shadow Battle Swords, its giant eyes widened.
Despite its unwillingness, it suddenly turned around and decisively chose to flee!
"My mental power is really different!"
Jiang Li was also trying it out.
He had never controlled so many Blood Shadow Battle Swords before, but he found that even controlling dozens of them simultaneously was effortless.
In fact.
He wasn't a so-called mentalist. The strength of his mental power depended entirely on his 'Sea of Consciousness', which was his 'Domain'.
Within the confines of his Domain, let alone ninety-nine Blood Shadow Battle Swords, even ten times that many wouldn't necessarily be impossible for him to control, given his soul's strength after ten fusions!
"Can you escape?"
Jiang Li's eyes were cold as he stared at the fleeing Titan Ape, and he sneered, "Go!"
With his command!
The Blood Shadow Battle Swords hovering around him shot out abruptly, as if they had heard their king's decree.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Roar!
Even at the speed of a high-level Lord, it couldn't compare to the Blood Shadow Battle Swords.
The Titan Ape let out a desperate roar, frantically dodging while still trying to kill Jiang Li.
However…
The number of Blood Shadow Battle Swords was immense, and their speed, exceeding ten times the speed of sound, was impossible to avoid.
Only the sounds of "Pfft," "Pfft," and "Pfft" could be heard, like water dripping through stone. The Blood Shadow Battle Swords continuously shot towards the Titan Ape's forehead.
Red light mixed with pale golden blood, creating an extremely eerie scene.
In a few short seconds, the Titan Ape's skull was pierced through. Its massive body couldn't even withstand the impact, collapsing with a crash. The corpse rolled nearly a hundred meters, crushing many other ape monsters.
Boom! Boom!
As the Titan Ape fell, the other Great Strength Demon Ape was momentarily stunned. Shi Jiang seized the opportunity, his figure instantly leaping forward. His long blade moved like a storm, slashing dozens of times at the Great Strength Demon Ape's neck.
Blood gushed out.
"Yaaaah!"
With the two leader monsters down, the Great Strength Demon Ape, which had been fighting with Zhao Ruo, let out a terrified cry. It leaped with great force, crashing into the forest on the other side. Trees and vegetation were knocked down, and it fled for its life.
The other apes, upon seeing this, shrieked "Eee-eee-ah-ah" and scattered like birds and beasts.
Soon.
In the vast canyon, there wasn't a single living ape left.
Zhao Ruo plopped down on a dead ape, her chest heaving as she gasped for air.
If Jiang Li's flying swords hadn't been so swift just now, she might have been done for.
"Jiang Li."
Shi Jiang sheathed his battle blade, also clearly shaken by Jiang Li's display.
"I didn't expect you to be able to control dozens of flying swords at once?"
"Besides you, it seems only existences beyond battle gods can do that!"
"Maybe."
Jiang Li leaped down from mid-air, his eyes flickering slightly.
One after another, the Blood Shadow Battle Swords returned to the alloy box like homing birds, neatly arranged in layers.
This scene was clear.
The two of them let out another cry of surprise.
Suddenly.
Shi Jiang's communicator lit up.
"It's Liu Zheng?"
Shi Jiang answered the call, and Liu Zheng's voice came from the other end: "Senior Brother Shi Jiang, something's happened!"
"Are you with Jiang Li?"
"You contacted me to find Jiang Li?"
Shi Jiang was a bit bummed.
"Senior Brother Shi Jiang..."
Zhao Ruo, who was beside him, finally came to her senses and rolled her eyes, "Out of all the students in the Elite Training Camp, only the two of us have Jiang Li's contact information..."
That was indeed the case.
Jiang Li hadn't interacted with the other students since arriving at the Elite Training Camp.
He had registered his contact information as a martial artist, but Jiang Li never went on Limit Home. Otherwise, his emails wouldn't have piled up to 99+.
"Are we with Jiang Li? What happened?"
Shi Jiang didn't dwell on it and asked, "We found a 'Spirit of Plants and Trees' near an island, but the plants there are exceptionally powerful. Even Lemart and Simon died!"
Liu Zheng said with lingering fear, "William and the others are also contacting others. Senior Brother Chu Qiang asked me to contact you and Jiang Li. Let's join forces from our Hanxia side and try again!"
"Spirit of Plants and Trees?!"
Shi Jiang's expression changed drastically when he heard those four words. "Liu Zheng, are you sure it's a Spirit of Plants and Trees?"
"Yes, I've sent you the coordinates!"
"What is a Spirit of Plants and Trees?"
Zhao Ruo, who was nearby, saw Shi Jiang's dramatic change in expression and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Jiang Li, do you know?"
"Yes."
Jiang Li nodded slightly and thought for a moment. "Let's put it this way, after a High-Level War God consumes it, they have a high probability of breaking through."
