Chapter 524: Rouge Cultivators
Lin Xuan Qi changed direction and dodged the projectile that shot at him from below.
But it was not the end of it.
More of these projectiles came at him.
He was at the limit of his flying distance and he had no choice but to descend while the projectiles came pelting at him.
Crack.
Lin Xuan Qi used his Earth Spell and he created a wall made of rocks to protect himself from these projectiles and they made a cracking sound upon impact onto his protective wall.
He descended through the canopy of the trees and bashed through branches while he was on his way down.
Plop.
When he landed on the ground, he saw who was firing the projectiles at him.
It was a bunch of demonic beasts that were in the form of apes with blue glowing fur staring at him.
All of them were standing tall at around his height.
They were holding some sort of fruit in their hands that they had used as the projectiles.
"Eek!"
One of them, which was larger in size than the others, gave out a loud shriek and the others followed.
The shriek echoed through the forest and birds that were resting on the trees flew into the air.
Lin Xuan Qi frowned and he wanted to turn around and get away.
But there was another group of them that had surrounded him at the back.
These demonic beasts were much smarter than the others.
Lin Xuan Qi thought and decided on his next move.
He flung a bunch of talismans into the surroundings at the demonic apes.
The talismans shot through the air and they gave out an amber glow when they got close to the demonic apes.
Boom!
Explosions ensued and the fire caught some of the demonic apes.
The demonic apes panicked and they tried to put out the fire that was raging on their fur.
Lin Xuan Qi took the opportunity and he lunged at the largest demonic ape.
Using his hammers he turned his body sideways, pulled back his left arm and swung it at the demonic ape’s head right after.
Dang!
The hammer turned into a shimmer and it hit onto the head of the demonic ape, giving out a loud metallic ring.
"Eeek." The demonic ape gave out a shriek and it shook its head trying to get itself out of the momentary stun from the Oblivion Steel from his hammer.
Its body’s glow extended and a water sphere began to appear.
Lin Xuan Qi saw it and he figured that it must have been something that would protect the demonic ape, so he quickly dealt out what he had to the demonic beast.
He made use of the momentum and turned his body in the opposite direction and swung his right arm at the demonic ape’s head with his right hammer.
The hammer hit again and it smashed into the cheek of the demonic ape.
It caused the demonic ape huge pain and the demonic ape tried to grab at Lin Xuan Qi with its hand.
Whoosh.
But it was a moment too slow for him.
Lin Xuan Qi had dodged to its side and he gave another swing with his hammers at the demonic ape’s waist.
The hammers hit and it made the demonic ape crouch in pain from the impact.
And the water sphere that was materializing dissipated.
Other demonic apes in the surroundings saw what was happening and they hesitated.
Their instinct told them that the man who was now smashing at their apex leader was much stronger.
All they dared to do was to thump their chests and give out their loud shriek in unison.
Lin Xuan Qi wasn’t bothered with them and he raised his arms.
Without any warning, he smashed his hammers down onto the head of the apex demonic ape.
Splatter.
This time, the hammers cracked the skull of the apex demonic ape and the flesh, bones and white matter of it splattered into the surroundings.
It gave the signal to the other demonic apes that it was time to flee and that was what they did immediately.
They scattered away in different directions and they got up into the trees.
Plop.
The body of the apex demonic ape dropped onto the ground motionlessly and it dissipated after a few moments.
A few Spirit Stones appeared where the body of the apex demonic ape was.
Lin Xuan Qi picked up the Spirit Stones and after he kept them in his toad statue, he heard footsteps coming near him.
These footsteps sounded like they were running.
He frowned and he turned around.
Better for him to leave or be caught up with other shenanigans which he wanted to avoid.
And he was right.
Rogue cultivators appeared and they shouted at him when they saw him leaving.
"Don’t go, young master!" One of them shouted and the other tried to catch up to him.
"We want to make a deal with you."
"Yeah. Let’s work together for our safety before we get killed by all these demonic beasts."
"Everyone saw how you dealt with the demonic beast earlier and we are willing to give you a fair share of the treasures in the secret realm."
Lin Xuan Qi shook his head at them but he didn’t stop.
Anyone would know that these rogue cultivators were trying to freeload from his labor and kill him when the time was right for them.
He had better things to do than dealing with them.
"Damn it!" One of the rogue cultivators cursed when he saw the figure of Lin Xuan Qi become a small dot in the distance.
He turned around and grabbed onto a woman that was dressed in a cultivator’s robe from an unknown sect.
"I should have ripped off your clothes and used you as bait."
The woman’s tears rolled down her cheeks and the other rogue cultivators gave out a burst of laughter.
Lin Xuan Qi continued his way through the forest but he decided to go on foot instead.
Flying in the air was too prominent and dangerous.
