After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 273

Jiang Chen was very clear that the snow ape’s displeasure with him was not because it was some kind of righteous demonic beast.

Rather, this was an opportunity prepared by the heavens for Lin Feng.

As a villain arriving here, he naturally faced the hostility of the guardian beast of the opportunity.

And the reason he found the snow ape displeasing was very simple.

He was just annoyed.

Through nine cycles of reincarnation, he was chased by this snow ape every time he entered this cave, running around in a sorry state, and nearly losing his life.

This time, he had to get his revenge.

Jiang Chen slowly descended on his sword.

After instructing Jiang Lianyue and Zhang Hu to hide at a distance, he stood alone in front of the snow ape.

“Human, you’re not running?” the snow ape was somewhat puzzled.

“How about we make a deal?” Jiang Chen countered.

“A deal?” the snow ape narrowed its eyes.

“That’s right, a deal,” Jiang Chen nodded.

“You leave quietly, let me enter the ice cave to retrieve the treasure, and I’ll spare your life.”

“!”

Upon hearing this, the snow ape became furious.

How could it tolerate such mocking words?

“Roar!!”

It opened its mouth and let out a loud roar, showing its sharp teeth and spraying saliva everywhere.

Although the saliva had no lethal power, it was extremely insulting.

Jiang Chen seemed to have anticipated this and immediately stepped on an azure lotus, dodging with a ghostly speed.

The saliva grazed his body and sprayed all over the face of Zhang Hu, who was hiding behind and ready to cheer.

“Ugh—!”

The thick stench on his face made Zhang Hu vomit.

Jiang Lianyue, with a look of disgust, quickly moved a few steps away.

While the snow ape was shocked by Jiang Chen’s speed, Jiang Chen instantly slashed out several crimson sword qi while maintaining his rapid movement.

The sword qi intersected, creating a surge of blood light.

The snow ape raised its huge fist and threw a punch, intending to counter with brute force.

Unexpectedly, the rapidly approaching sword qi, moved unpredictably fast and slow as if sentient, impossible to track.

Even more bizarre was the sword qi that had been solid one second would suddenly disperse the next, then pass over its fist and reassemble, accurately hitting its chest and leaving many bloody marks. RＡ𐌽ỒꞖËṥ

This is sword intent.

Compared to sword qi, it not only possesses greater power but also carries the will of the swordsman when it is swung, making it difficult to resist.

“…”

Looking at its own injuries, the Snow Ape’s eyes turned blood red, and it exhaled a hot breath from its nostrils.

He is a Demon King!

Although it’s only a Demon King in the Penetrating Comprehension stage, it can match a cultivator in the Initial Insight realm of the upper four realms!

But now, it has been wounded by a cultivator in the Core Formation realm?

The more he thought about it, the redder the Snow Ape’s eyes became.

Its chest heaved violently, and spiritual energy gathered around it.

As its aura continued to rise, the wound inflicted by the sword was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This made Jiang Chen frown.

“Roar!!”

The Snow Ape pounded its chest and let out another roar.

Unlike the previous roar, this one stirred the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, forming a sound wave with extremely strong lethality.

The power of the sound wave was immense, causing the blood and qi within the human body to surge and the world to tremble.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen let out a muffled grunt.

Jiang Lianyue’s body swayed, her complexion growing even paler.

Zhang Hu directly spat out a mouthful of blood and nearly fainting.

Glancing at these two, Jiang Chen’s frown deepened.

The reason why there is a chasm between the upper four realms and the Core Formation realm is because of the different sources of spiritual power.

The spiritual power of Core Formation cultivators comes from the Core Formation, and the spiritual energy contained within the Core Formation determines the upper limit of a Core Formation cultivator’s combat power.

To become a cultivator of the upper four realms, one must shatter the Core Formation to form a Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul can not only generate consciousness and contain more spiritual energy but also control the natural spiritual energy between heaven and earth!

From this point, it is clear that the levels they are on are not on the same scale.

This also means that it is almost impossible for a cultivator in the Core Formation realm to defeat a cultivator in the upper four realms.

Although the cultivation method of demon beasts is different from that of human cultivators, they all lead to the same destination.

After becoming a Demon King, although the demon core of the demon beast does not change, it can also control the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

This is why the Snow Ape can use the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to attack, and because of the abundant spiritual power, it can recover from injuries quickly.

‘I must make a quick decision.’ Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Although he possessed the combat power of an upper four realms cultivator and had many trump cards, a prolonged battle would exhaust him to death.

Furthermore, even if he could hold on, Jiang Lianyue and Zhang Hu would not be able to endure.

The good news is that the Six-Eyed Snow Ape is just an ordinary demon beast.

If it had an ancient bloodline, even he would have no choice but to flee now.

‘A quick decision is not enough. I must kill it in one strike!’ Jiang Chen thought to himself again.

To achieve this, the ancient Way of the Sword would not suffice.

After all, that First Form: Ancient Sword has a wind-up. Someone of the same realm might not be able to react in time, but if it were the Snow Ape, it would definitely have ample time to dodge.

In that case, there was only one choice.

Phoenix Fire! Phoenix Fire is a heavenly fire, and even if the Snow Ape is extensively exposed to it, it would be hard to escape death.

Of course, the opponent would not just wait to be burned alive, so some strategies would still be needed.

“Brother Ape, your strength is really extraordinary, I concede!”

With this in mind, Jiang Chen clasped his hands and praised while putting away the Flame Blood Dragon Sword.

After speaking, he walked towards the Snow Ape with a faint smile on his lips.

The Snow Ape was puzzled, and the red glow in its eyes faded somewhat.

It clearly didn’t understand.

How did this human, who was so arrogant just a moment ago, suddenly become so submissive?

Although it didn’t understand, it remained on guard.

Standing in front of it, Jiang Chen looked up and asked, “Brother Ape, do you wish to leave this secret realm? I can help you!”

Upon hearing this, the Snow Ape was shocked.

Of course, he wanted to!

The natural formations in this secret realm not only suppress the cultivation of the demon beasts within, but they also trap the demon beasts inside the secret realm.

The Snow Ape was very clear that after being trapped here year after year, its cultivation could not advance any further!

“Ignorant human, do you really think you can break the formation of this secret realm?” the Snow Ape didn’t believe it at all, looking at Jiang Chen skeptically.

“Who doesn’t know that I, Jiang Chen, am a man of my word, never speaking falsely?”

With a solemn expression, Jiang Chen said with determination, “Now I stand before you. If you don’t believe me, you can capture me first. If you find that what I say is false, you can simply crush me to death. How about that?”

Such a good deal?!

The Snow Ape was instantly tempted.

It could also see that Jiang Chen’s strength was far beyond that of other Core Formation cultivators.

But once in its hands, wouldn’t life and death still be under its control?

Moreover, what if what Jiang Chen said was true?

Wouldn’t it be able to leave this secret realm?

“Hehe, then I won’t be polite.” The Snow Ape grinned viciously, and its large hand reached out directly towards Jiang Chen.

Its huge body meant that its palm could just grab Jiang Chen’s entire body.

From beginning to end, Jiang Chen made no resistance.

Seeing Jiang Chen still with a calm expression, the Snow Ape somewhat believed him and eagerly asked, “Quickly tell me, how can you help me leave this secret realm?”

“Well…” Jiang Chen smiled wickedly.

“You can leave by dying.”

“Dying?” The Snow Ape was furious.

“Human, you dare lie to me?”

As soon as the voice fell, it prepared to crush Jiang Chen to death.

But before it could act.

“Screech—”

The cry of the phoenix resounded through the heavens.

Countless phoenix fires burst forth from Jiang Chen’s body, instantly enveloping the Snow Ape’s entire arm.
