When the true form of the Dragon Horse was discovered, the Seventh Divine General's killing intent exploded, his malevolent aura surging to engulf the entire valley.
“What kind of demonic beast are you?”
The Seventh Divine General asked, holding his spear, his voice icy, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
At the same time, Madam Poison and Xing Zhan also locked onto the Dragon Horse, not to kill it, but to capture it.
The Dragon Horse remained in place, finally realizing its exposure, its heart filled with despair.
It wished it hadn't stepped forward. Its spiritual senses hadn't warned it before because the Seventh Divine General and the others were there to capture Qing Lin.
But now, with its involvement in Qing Lin's affairs, its heart was filled with terrifying omens of disaster.
It was finished!
“Escape!”
The Dragon Horse roared and immediately activated its speed, preparing to flee the valley.
“Heh heh!”
Just then, it heard a woman’s light laugh, and then, the sky above the entire valley was inexplicably covered by a layer of poisonous mist.
When the Dragon Horse collided with the mist, a powerful force instantly rebounded, exposing its form.
That poisonous mist was also part of a formation.
The valley was sealed!
“I never imagined my luck would be this good, to encounter the legendary Dragon Horse beast.”
From behind, Madam Poison chuckled leisurely. As soon as she suspected the Dragon Horse, she had silently laid out a grand formation to prevent its escape.
“Roar! Old hag, you deserve to die!!!”
The Dragon Horse roared. It was finished. Rebounded by the formation, it was now locked by the aura of the Seventh Divine General and the others. Even if the formation was gone, it couldn't escape.
“Hmph! Such ferocity from a little creature.”
Madam Poison’s expression immediately darkened upon hearing this.
“Buzz!”
At the same time, the Seventh Divine General made his move, his killing intent soaring. He intended to kill the Dragon Horse.
“Damn it!”
The Dragon Horse was greatly alarmed and didn't even dare to think of resisting, running wildly within the valley.
But it had long been locked onto by the Seventh Divine General and couldn't dodge.
More importantly, its injuries had not yet healed, and with its current strength, it was certain it couldn't evade this attack.
“Pfft!”
Qing Lin, standing nearby, wanted to cast a spell to empower the Dragon Horse, but she was also severely injured. As soon as she began, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, that slight enhancement was insufficient for the Dragon Horse.
Just as the spear was about to pierce the Dragon Horse—
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a thick stone club blocked the Seventh Divine General’s spear.
The clash of their attacks instantly sent sand and stones flying, dust billowing throughout the valley.
It was the Giant Ape Emperor who intervened. It bared its teeth, standing between the Dragon Horse and the Seventh Divine General.
“Giant Ape Emperor, you dare to obstruct me?!”
The Seventh Divine General roared, his eyes shooting out divine light, his killing intent boiling even more fiercely.
“Our demon race has finally produced a rare beast of heaven and earth. If the Empress knew I watched the Dragon Horse get killed by you, I’d probably have my skin peeled off at least once.”
The Giant Ape Emperor spoke with some frustration. It could see that the Seventh Divine General wanted to kill the Dragon Horse, and the other two also harbored ill intentions. If it stepped forward today, it would have to fight with all its might.
Thinking of this, it couldn’t help but curse the foolish Dragon Horse inwardly. It had been fine before, but it insisted on interfering with the matters of the Ancient God tribe. Wasn’t that deliberately seeking death?
“Giant Ape Emperor, move aside! My Young Master Chen was provoked by this creature into offending Li Xiaotian. If you hinder me, you are making an enemy of our Ancient God tribe!” the Seventh Divine General said coldly, his spear humming as he prepared to attack again.
The Giant Ape Emperor, however, shrugged, remaining motionless, its attitude clear.
“Then you die!!!”
Seeing this, the Seventh Divine General was furious and thrust his spear directly.
“Heh heh, it’s been so many years since I last made a move, and I’m actually being looked down upon by a junior.”
The Giant Ape Emperor laughed, then roared, its body instantly growing larger. It swung the stone club in its hand towards the Seventh Divine General.
One person and one beast began to fight, the entire valley instantly assaulted by terrifying energy, destruction erupting everywhere.
“What do we do now?”
Seeing the Seventh Divine General blocked by the Giant Ape Emperor, the Dragon Horse remained anxious, the sense of crisis not dissipating.
Qing Lin also frowned. With only the Giant Ape Emperor, it couldn’t hold back the Seventh Divine General and the other two.
“Heh heh, Dragon Horse, what belongs to the capable shall be taken. Giant Ape Emperor, apologies!”
At the edge of the valley, Xing Zhan suddenly laughed and then stepped towards the Dragon Horse.
“This little brat belongs to my Western Alliance tribe!”
At the same time, Madam Poison also made her move, a cloud of poisonous mist drifting towards the Dragon Horse.
“Heh heh, it seems you all underestimate this emperor. You dare to attack in my presence?”
At this moment, the Giant Ape Emperor laughed, repelled the Seventh Divine General with a single blow, and then seamlessly struck at Xing Zhan, while also kicking Madam Poison.
“Come at me! As long as I’m here, none of you can harm it!”
The Giant Ape Emperor roared with laughter, its body continuously growing larger. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a colossal ape, its scarlet eyes exceptionally piercing, its entire body pitch black, exuding a fierce aura as if from ancient times.
“Hmph! Giant Ape Emperor, you want to stop the three of us? Be careful you don’t perish.”
Xing Zhan’s face darkened, and he was forced to face the Giant Ape Emperor.
On the other side, Madam Poison released a vast expanse of poisonous mist and joined the fray.
The three joined forces to fight the Giant Ape Emperor.
However, the Giant Ape Emperor did not retreat, instead fighting more vigorously.
It opened its mouth and directly swallowed Madam Poison’s poisonous mist, then held the stone club with both hands, striking at the Seventh Divine General and Xing Zhan from left and right.
Moreover, it seemed to be subtly suppressing the three.
“Hmph! Giant Ape Emperor, you are courting death! No matter how powerful you erupt, you will eventually be defeated if you oppose the three of us!”
The Seventh Divine General snorted coldly, his aura growing stronger. His spear instantly thrust out a hundred times, countless spear shadows piercing the Giant Ape Emperor.
The Giant Ape Emperor did not respond, but instead let out a roar, and waves of sound emanated from its mouth, destroying the spear shadows.
“Kill!”
Xing Zhan seized the opportunity, his great axe chopping down, cleaving through space, heading towards the Giant Ape Emperor’s head.
“Roar! Get lost!!!”
The Giant Ape Emperor roared, gripping the stone club with both hands, and swiped it horizontally.
“Rumble!!!”
The entire valley trembled, and countless cracks appeared on the ground.
The battle fluctuations of four late-stage overlord experts were far too much for this small valley to withstand.
The Dragon Horse watched, shocked and anxious. It was shocked by the Giant Ape Emperor’s strength and anxious because it knew the Giant Ape Emperor would eventually falter.
“Break the formation! Find a way to break the formation and leave!”
Qing Lin said to the Dragon Horse.
At this moment, Madam Poison was fully engaged with the Giant Ape Emperor, and her control over the formation was certainly not as it was before. This was their opportunity.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Horse immediately acted, its dragon horns violently colliding with the formation.
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, the formation remained still.
“Not good! It’s poisoned!!!”
The Dragon Horse suddenly roared, sensing an abnormality within its body, and its heart sank to the bottom.
It had been poisoned.
The poison had been administered subtly. When it touched the formation, the poisonous mist from that side had intensified, causing a large amount of toxins to accumulate in its body.
“Damn it! Damn it! That old hag is too hateful!”
The Dragon Horse cursed, its nostrils spewing blue smoke in anger.
“Heh heh, my poison can affect even top-tier overlords. What are you, a little brat at the early overlord stage?”
Madam Poison laughed from afar.
Furthermore, not only the Dragon Horse was poisoned, but Qing Lin’s face had also turned pale, with a faint greenish hue. She too, had been poisoned.
“Roar! That stupid horse is right. You old hag, you only know how to play dirty!”
The Giant Ape Emperor roared and punched directly at Madam Poison.
It had also been poisoned, but its strength was immense, and it wouldn’t be affected by the poisonous mist for a while.
Seeing this, Madam Poison hurriedly retreated. At the same time, the Seventh Divine General and Xing Zhan also joined forces and attacked.
“Bang!”
With a loud crash, Xing Zhan’s axe struck the Giant Ape Emperor, forcing it back several steps.
Although it wasn’t injured, this blow disrupted the Giant Ape Emperor’s rhythm, forcing it to defend.
“Buzz!”
Seeing this, the Seventh Divine General quickly seized the opportunity to thrust his spear towards the Dragon Horse.
“You’re courting death!!! I said, it cannot die!!!”
The Giant Ape Emperor roared and lunged forward again.
The Dragon Horse roared, forcibly blocking the Seventh Divine General’s attack, and immediately vomited blood, its aura weakening.
Moreover, the blood it spat out was black, polluted by demonic energy and poisonous mist.
“The Giant Ape Emperor is failing!”
Qing Lin said softly, her eyes gradually dimming.
“What should we do? Damn it, I should have kept that drop of Ancient God’s blood back then!”
The Dragon Horse roared, its eyes filled with unwillingness. It didn't want to die!!
“That foolish horse, can you still use your speed? I can’t hold on much longer. Later, I’ll break open the formation, and you hurry and escape, find that Li Xiaotian.”
Just then, the Giant Ape Emperor’s voice echoed in the Dragon Horse’s mind.
