Time passed swiftly; in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.
Amidst the dense forest, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground below.
Xiao Yan and Bo Hai Dong strode along a narrow forest path, their steps light yet firm, their sharp gazes scanning their surroundings with vigilance.
Guided by Shui Wuya's instructions, Xiao Yan set out for the great forest, intent on obtaining the Core-Temper Body Milk.
Suddenly, the sharp sound of air being torn apart echoed through the forest, accompanied by bursts of explosive noise, as though two formidable forces were colliding.
Xiao Yan and Bo Hai Dong immediately tensed, exchanging a brief glance before quickening their pace, heading toward the source of the sound.
The narrow forest trail stretched ahead, with the two men moving in single file. Their postures were upright, their eyes unwavering. A faint aura of battle readiness radiated from both of them.
"Where's that sound coming from?" Xiao Yan asked, his voice low and steady, tinged with tension and caution.
Bo Hai Dong frowned, his gaze fixed on the dense woods ahead, his expression revealing a mix of doubt and unease.
"It should be just up ahead. Let's go."
The two hastened their steps, drawing closer. The sounds of combat grew increasingly distinct, a clash of immense power generating explosive echoes through the forest.
At last, they arrived at the source of the commotion. In a clearing, two figures were locked in fierce combat. The surrounding trees had been shattered, their broken branches and scattered leaves whirling through the air.
Xiao Yan and Bo Hai Dong stopped a short distance away, their gazes riveted on the two combatants. A sense of awe welled up within them as they took in the intensity of the battle.
The forest shadows danced as an earth-shaking confrontation unfolded on a nearby mountainside.
A woman dressed in white stood at the peak of the mountain. Her long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her clear eyes sparkled with resolve. Her demeanor was both graceful and unyielding.
This was Han Yue, the eldest daughter of the Han family from Tianbei City.
Han Yue's silver hair flowed freely with her movements, enhancing her ethereal beauty, which seemed almost otherworldly.
She wielded a magnificent longsword, its gleaming blade flashing like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.
Opposing her was a colossal ape-like beast, its presence exuding ferocity and power. Its thick fur gleamed with a metallic sheen under the sunlight. This was the legendary Snow Demon Ape, towering and majestic, its piercing eyes radiating intelligence and menace.
Han Yue fixed her gaze on the Snow Demon Ape, her eyes shining with courage and determination.
"Snow Demon Ape, today I, Han Yue, will witness your strength firsthand!" Her voice was gentle yet resolute, her sword emanating a radiant aura. She unleashed her extraordinary combat skills, engaging the beast in a fierce battle.
As sword light and ape shadow intertwined, each collision generated powerful gusts of wind, causing the surrounding trees to sway violently.
Han Yue moved with agility and precision, each strike of her sword targeting the beast's vital points. The Snow Demon Ape, unwilling to yield, swung its massive fists in a bid to overpower her.
Her bright, unwavering eyes remained locked on the imposing creature before her, her heart brimming with determination and bravery.
Her swordsmanship was like a dragon weaving through the air, each thrust carrying a piercing sound as it neutralized the ape's ferocious attacks.
The Snow Demon Ape roared furiously, its massive arms flailing with unrestrained ferocity. Its eyes burned with wildness and savagery, as though it intended to tear Han Yue apart.
Han Yue gripped her longsword tightly, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead. Despite her fatigue, her aura grew even more resolute.
"Snow Demon Ape, today I, Han Yue, will show you that I am not someone to trifle with!" Her voice was crisp and unwavering, as unyielding as steel.
With her sword in hand, Han Yue moved like the wind—light yet powerful. The blade shimmered with each swing, every strike precise and deadly, forcing the Snow Demon Ape to respond with its full strength.
The ape's towering, muscular frame radiated menace, its silver fur gleaming like metal and its crimson eyes burning with savage fury.
It lashed out ferociously, its massive claws gleaming with cold light as it sought to force Han Yue back.
Han Yue's sword gleamed as she moved with the agility of a feline, deftly evading the ape's brutal strikes before launching her own relentless counterattacks.
Each swing of her blade carried a chilling sharpness, slicing through the air and targeting the ape's vital points.
The Snow Demon Ape roared in anger, its massive arms pounding furiously as it sought to overpower her.
Yet, Han Yue's swordsmanship was unparalleled, each move flowing with elegance and precision, neutralizing the beast's overwhelming strength and plunging it into a hard-fought battle.
The ape's massive frame shifted suddenly, its bloodline erupting in a wild surge. Its aura swelled explosively, and its crimson eyes burned brighter, like flames ignited by raw ferocity. It lunged at Han Yue with unstoppable aggression.
Sensing the intensified savagery emanating from her opponent, Han Yue's expression shifted slightly. A flash of caution crossed her face as she braced herself, realizing that the beast had become far more dangerous.
Steadying her stance, she raised her sword, pouring her full strength into fending off the Snow Demon Ape's relentless attacks.
"This Snow Demon Ape... it can grow even stronger!" she muttered through gritted teeth, a note of urgency and defiance in her voice. "I must end this quickly!"
With a leap, she dodged a vicious claw strike, channeling all her energy into her ultimate sword technique. Her body radiated a brilliant aura as her spiritual power surged, and she unleashed a devastating slash toward the ape.
The sword aura was sharp and blinding, like a bolt of lightning ripping through the forest. A fierce wind tore through the clearing, sending the surrounding trees swaying wildly.
Yet, the Snow Demon Ape stood unyielding. With a deafening roar, it met her attack head-on, its enormous claws colliding directly with her blade.
The impact unleashed a powerful shockwave, engulfing everything around them. Han Yue stumbled back several steps, her face pale and streaked with exhaustion.
At the brink of life and death, the battle between Han Yue and the Snow Demon Ape reached its climax.
Han Yue's movements remained swift and graceful, her blade flashing with brilliance. Despite her unwavering efforts, the ape's relentless ferocity began to overwhelm her, and she started to lose ground.
The Snow Demon Ape's eyes gleamed with a cruel light as it bared its teeth in a sinister grin, sensing its imminent victory.
"Hahaha! Little girl, let's see where you can run now!" it bellowed, raising its massive arm and slamming it down toward her with crushing force.
Han Yue's face turned pale as the moment of life and death approached. Suddenly, a shadow darted forward like lightning—Xiao Yan appeared by her side, stepping in front of her.
"Beast, dare to harm her in my presence?" Xiao Yan's voice was sharp and commanding, his eyes blazing with fury as he raised his Heavy Xuan Ruler, exuding an aura of deadly menace.
The Snow Demon Ape paused, its eyes flickering with a trace of surprise before it sneered in disdain.
"A mere human dares act so boldly before me!" it roared, its murderous aura growing even stronger as it prepared to face Xiao Yan in battle.
Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile, his fighting spirit surging to its peak.
"Let's see if you're as tough as you think!" he shouted, unleashing his ultimate skill—Eight Extremities Collapse!
