"Wait a moment!"
Seeing the two people so bold as to charge directly towards the stone platform, Wu Tian's face also changed drastically, and he quickly shouted.
But with treasure before them, not everyone could suppress their restless hearts.
Those two were already blinded by their greed, and at this moment, they couldn't care about anything else!
Even with Wu Tian's dissuasion, their steps could not be halted.
The two rushed to the front of the stone platform, seeing the wooden box only a meter away from them, they couldn't help but shout excitedly, "We've got it!"
But just then, the great ape suddenly opened its eyes, and within its eyes, green ghost fire flickered!
Instantly, a furious aura swept through the surroundings like a tidal wave!
The ape let out a deafening roar, then suddenly lunged, its thick arms grabbing firmly, and in one grasp, it held both of their necks tightly!
This sudden turn of events startled both Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao.
The expressions of the two people also turned to sheer terror.
The ape's strength was immense; it grabbed one person in each hand and lifted them directly into the air.
The two men's feet kicked wildly in the air, and their fists, imbued with immortal energy, continuously pounded the ape's arms.
But with their strength, they were utterly unable to shake the ape.
The ape roared domineeringly, its arm strength increasing with each passing moment. The two men's faces immediately turned purple from the strain.
"Don't move around!" Wu Tian shouted, "If you struggle, you'll die even faster!"
But the two were too terrified. Driven by a strong will to survive, they ignored Wu Tian's warning and continued to struggle.
The ape was clearly short-tempered. It roared in anger, and the strength in its hands suddenly increased!
In an instant, with a crisp crack, the necks of the two men snapped, and they went limp.
"This..." Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
In such a situation, there was nothing more to say; the two had clearly met their end at the ape's hands.
But the ape was not satisfied. It slammed their corpses heavily onto the ground, then continued to smash them down with punch after punch.
The entire space trembled with its immense power!
Under the ape's assault, the bodies of the two men were like garlic being pounded, their flesh becoming more and more mangled until they were reduced to a bloody pulp.
Such a terrifying scene left Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao's minds blank.
The ape's brutality far exceeded their imagination, and judging by the aura it exuded, its strength... clearly surpassed that of a high-grade immortal!
Wu Tian's heart clenched!
He had absolutely no chance of winning against such an opponent.
Acting decisively, he immediately said in a low voice, "Let's go, we need to leave quickly!"
Lei Qianjiao also reacted. Facing such a spirit beast, she knew her own strength was insufficient to deal with it. Thus, she turned to leave with Wu Tian.
But just then, the ape suddenly raised its head and locked its gaze squarely on Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao!
In that instant, Wu Tian felt an extreme killing intent surge towards him.
He instinctively roared, "Get out of the way!"
Before his words had even fallen, the ape let out a furious roar and charged forward with an aura that broke through everything!
Although Lei Qianjiao was a high-grade immortal, she was, in the end, still a young woman, and her mind couldn't quite process the situation in time.
With the situation so dire, Wu Tian had no choice. He summoned his Thunder-Chasing Sword and thrust it directly at the ape!
This time, he dared not be the slightest bit negligent, unleashing his full power from the outset.
His entire body was enveloped in a dense lightning glow, and the tip of the Thunder-Chasing Sword instantly collided with the ape's fist!
Boom!
In an instant, a violent shockwave erupted!
An unimaginably heavy pressure flowed along the Thunder-Chasing Sword and directly into Wu Tian's body.
For a moment, Wu Tian's expression changed dramatically.
He felt as if his bones were about to shatter. He was sent flying backward and only managed to land on the ground with great difficulty.
"How are you? Are you alright!"
Only then did Lei Qianjiao react and quickly helped Wu Tian up.
Wu Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face turning a little pale.
He said softly, "This is bad. We are no match for this guy's strength."
"If we're not careful, both of us might die here!"
"So from now on, we can't hold back anymore!"
"What did you say?!" Wu Tian's words made Lei Qianjiao's expression change abruptly. The ape, however, did not give them time to communicate further and continued to charge forward, enveloped in a heavy aura.
"No matter what, let's try first!" Wu Tian said, pushing Lei Qianjiao aside. Lightning flashed from both of them as they dodged the ape's attack.
Wu Tian had originally intended to summon the Thunder God Puppet, but he knew in his heart that although the Thunder God Puppet's strength far surpassed that of an ordinary middle-grade immortal, it ultimately did not possess the combat power of a high-grade immortal.
Facing such an opponent, the Thunder God Puppet might not only be useless but could also be shattered by the ape.
Therefore, Wu Tian abandoned the idea and, without a word, condensed lightning onto the Thunder-Chasing Sword and slashed down!
"Raging Thunder Slash!"
With an enraged shout, a ferocious blade of lightning light shot through the air and struck the ape heavily.
Although this move was only a low-grade immortal skill, it was a skill with astonishing destructive power.
However, after unleashing this move, Wu Tian's expression changed drastically!
Bad!
The ape was completely unharmed, not even a single strand of its fur was shed.
Instead, it was enraged by Wu Tian. Its massive body leaped up and lunged towards Wu Tian!
The heavy aura pressed down on Wu Tian like a mountain, making it difficult for him to move.
At this moment, Lei Qianjiao appeared before him and pointed her slender jade fingers at the ape.
"Violent Thunder Shot!"
A circular formation appeared in front of Lei Qianjiao's palm.
Soon, from within the formation, a beam of pure lightning shot out, striking the ape's body.
This move was a middle-grade immortal skill, but when released by Lei Qianjiao, its effect was significantly more astonishing.
Under this impact, the ape's massive body trembled slightly and was then repelled.
