Chapter 193: Cutting the Dragon Ape! Scaring the Elder of the Ancient Sword!
In the valley, the intense battle between Lin Yan and the Ancient Dragon Ape continued. Although there was a great difference in power levels between both parties, the displayed strength didn't differ much. The Ancient Dragon Ape's advantage lay in its stronger body, rivaling that of warriors of the Creation Realm. Each blow it struck was like a falling mountain, with impressive power. On the other hand, Lin Yan's advantage lay in his numerous methods: secret techniques, celestial flames, combat skills, spiritual formations, and mental strength. However, relying solely on his physical strength, he was definitely no match for the Ancient Dragon Ape. Yet, with the support of these methods, Lin Yan unleashed a combat force much greater than his level, facing the Ancient Dragon Ape in an intense and fierce battle. This high-level confrontation naturally caused the entire Ancient Waste Canyon to tremble. Although the area was quite wide, the commotion caused by Lin Yan and the Ancient Dragon Ape was too significant to ignore. Not only were humans and monsters within the Ancient Waste Canyon affected, but even some warriors outside the canyon could often hear deafening noises from afar. Later, they could deduce from which direction these noises were coming, realizing that it was the Ancient Dragon Ape inside the Ancient Waste Canyon fighting against someone.
"Is that... the Ancient Waste Canyon? With such a commotion, should it be the Ancient Dragon Ape, right? But here's the question, what kind of creature can fight like that against that beast?"
Many warriors were perplexed by this, their faces filled with fear at witnessing the terrifying commotion.
"A demonic beast is unlikely because there are no other powerful demonic beasts within the Ancient Waste Canyon. If that's the case, then it can only be a human."
"It's really terrifying. To be able to fight like that against that beast, the human must also have the cultivation of the Creation Realm. Characters like these are rare even in the Great Desert County."
They continued to discuss, roughly guessing that it was the work of human warriors.
However, they didn't dare to approach to observe, as they knew very well that such a high-level battle would undoubtedly not end well for them. Warriors of their level, if they approached recklessly, could end up seriously injured or even dead. Therefore, they naturally kept their distance.
However, some elders and disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect were bold. They were already in the Ancient Waste Canyon, and upon feeling the commotion, they stealthily approached. Although they did, they didn't dare to get too close. They only watched from afar. They knew very well that if they were affected by such a high-level battle, it would not end well for them. Therefore, although these elders and disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect were quite far away, their extraordinary vision allowed them to see clearly what was happening.
"This young man is very talented. Although he only has the cultivation of the late Formation Realm, with his diversity of abilities, he was able to match the Ancient Dragon Ape."
"To which sect does this individual belong? How can he be so brave?"
The elders and disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect exclaimed with admiration. Although they couldn't clearly see Lin Yan's appearance due to the distance, they could tell he was a young man. But to think that a young man could possess such formidable strength was terrifying. If he continued to cultivate for a few more years and advanced to a higher level, what would become of him?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder. As for the disciples beside them, they answered the elder's previous question:
"This individual doesn't seem to be from our Great Desert County. After all, if he were from our county, so outstanding, he couldn't go unnoticed, and we would recognize him immediately. But since we don't recognize him now, that can only mean he's definitely not from our Great Desert County."
"Wait a moment, this individual's appearance seems quite similar to the reports we received earlier."
"I seem to recall that previously, the individual who killed many of our outer guardian disciples did so using a powerful transformation style that could instantly strengthen his body and flash with lightning. Elder, seeing him like this, he seems exactly the same."
Upon hearing this, the people suddenly became stunned because it seemed that Lin Yan was the individual who had killed many of their disciples. For a moment, everyone looked towards the elder on the side, seeking guidance on how to handle the situation.
"For now, let's observe from here. Even if it's a fierce beast, we cannot intervene while it's fighting the Ancient Dragon."
The elder couldn't help but curl his mouth at this. To be honest, he felt a bit fearful towards Lin Yan. But because of his special position, he couldn't show weakness, which left him in a difficult situation.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
After unsuccessfully using the Celestial Flame Splitting Waves, Lin Yan no longer had the intention to hold back. He directly pulled out his last trump card and summoned two celestial flames. With a simple movement, a brightly colored lotus flower appeared in his palm.
"Go, Fury of the Buddhist Fire Lotus!"
Pointing towards the Ancient Dragon Ape in front of him, Lin Yan showed no mercy and threw it forward.
Instantly, the colorful lotus flower flew towards the Ancient Dragon Ape, about to explode.
"But the Ancient Dragon Ape didn't lag behind. Seeing Lin Yan using the Fire Lotus, it let out another roar of fury.
Then, accompanied by the roar, once again, a huge beam of light was unleashed from its mouth.
Boom!
The Celestial Flame and the beam of light collided quickly, causing a deafening roar.
The exploding lotus was like a huge bomb, triggering a big explosion in the surrounding area.
The terrifying waves of fire spread from the explosion point, quickly engulfing Lin Yan and the Ancient Dragon Ape.
The disciples and elders of the Ancient Sword Sect in the distance were astonished to see this, looking at the terrifying fire looming as if they had seen a ghost.
"What kind of technique is this? It's so terrifying!"
"The lotus we just saw, does it really have such horrifying power? This is too exaggerated!"
The disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect involuntarily trembled as they expressed their fear at what they were witnessing.
After saying this, they looked back at the elder, expressing their greatest concern:
"Elder, should we attack that individual?"
The elder of the Ancient Sword Sect couldn't help but curl his mouth.
Looking forward once again, he saw that the waves of fire had already dissipated completely.
And with the dissipation of the flames, Lin Yan, controlling his energy, rose into the sky. As for the Ancient Dragon Ape, which had been directly hit by Lin Yan, it was so gravely injured that its whole body was burnt.
It lay on the ground, completely black, with its tongue out and eyes rolled back, obviously half dead.
"Attack? Attack nothing!"
"Run for your lives!"
Feeling Lin Yan's gaze towards them, the elders of the Ancient Sword Sect were so frightened that they turned around and fled with their disciples without looking back.
