Chapter 113: Where is that bastard?

——(POV third person)——

Li Huang nodded and turned to face Cai ZhenKang.

"Cai ZhenKang, you too put someone in charge of your sect's disciples before you forget about it…" Li Huang said as he was sure that Cai ZhenKang could forget this easily.

"Oh!" Cai ZhenKang nodded and turned toward Kong Zexi.

"Kong Zexi you are in charge when I'm gone. If even one of you is slightly injured I will hack your bones until they turn into sawdust, understood?" Cai ZhenKang said. He motivated his fellow disciples with the best method that he knew; death threats.

The Blue Bulls sect disciples could only nod repeatedly to let their senior brother know that they understood.

Li Huang and Hu Anjing were stunned by this.

"What?" Cai ZhenKang said as he didn't understand why they were looking at him like that.

"…You need to work on your human skills." Li Huang shook his head. In what world 'don't get injured or else I will kill you' is considered motivational?

Cai ZhenKang didn't say anything as he didn't even know what these 'human skills' were…

"You should follow us from a distance so that we can have enough maneuvering space." Li Huang told Li Wanrou and others and after some more minor details, they start running toward the gargantuan apes.

…

Along the way, Li Huang sent a sound transmission to Hu Anjing.

~'Use the sword you got in the formation for this fight.'~ He didn't want to waste such a good sword and not use it in this situation.

~'Is that the reason you told Li Wanrou that she should be in the second team?'~ Hu Anjing asked him as she had some thoughts about this. She remembered that Li Huang told him that she shouldn't use this sword in front of any crowd as that might create problems for her so it was weird if he changed his mind all of the sudden.

~'It was one of the reasons, Li Wanrou and others could detect the grade of that sword if they see it in action, especially Li Wanrou but Cai ZhenKang doesn't know anything about swords so there isn't any problem when using it in front of him.'~ Li Huang said. He didn't want to take chances when this sword is very precious. It wasn't that he didn't trust Li Wanrou, even if Li Wanrou and others do not tell anyone about it, if the elders were to check their memories they could see it in their thoughts.

~'yes. Let's start killing these apes.'~ Hu Anjing nodded and said.

"Let's use scrolls as much as we can!" Li Huang said. He didn't plan on getting overwhelmed by the apes so it was better to waste some scrolls just to finish the fight a little faster.

"HAHAHA, Li Huang, this time you can see me fight with all my power." Cai ZhenKang said and took out a new axe from his storage ring. The axe was clearly from a higher grade than what he was using normally.

"With this axe in my hands, I can cut mountains. These oversize monkeys have no chance at all." Cai ZhenKang said and charge toward the closest gargantuan ape that he found after he activated a few auxiliary scrolls for speed, healing, and more.

Cai ZhenKang in normal situations is destructive enough but now he was on a completely new level.

A blur moved toward the gargantuan ape's head and just as the beast felt his movement, Cai ZhenKang slashed his axe and decapitated the beast in a swift motion. Although the other apes got more vigilant, this had no use for the dead beast.

"HAHAHAHA. ZhenKang, one!" Cai ZhenKang laughed and started counting his kills.

"We should start too." Li Huang said and he too used a couple of auxiliary scrolls to up his performance. Hu Anjing too started by using scrolls and followed that with taking out her new sword from her storage ring.

Li Huang had an easier time as he was getting help from the [Peeping eye of heaven] to attack their weak points and finish a beast in less than a minute.

Cai ZhenKang's kill was fast because the beasts didn't expect this puny creature to pose any danger to them but now that they felt insulted, it was way harder to attack them.

…

Forty minutes passed and the team was successful in dealing with all the gargantuan apes before they could get to the walls and pose any danger to the fort. They were panting and exhausted but it was a good victory for them as they didn't lose even a single person in this front.

"HAHA, Li Huang… I had 45 kills." Cai ZhenKang said between breaths.

"I guess you win this time…" Li Huang said as he had 44 kills in this fight. The truth of the matter is that Li Huang had fewer kills because he found something out. He found out that some of these beasts had higher power than their other siblings and they also had fewer weak points. Because of this, Li Huang put his effort into eliminating these 'mutated' beasts before they could surprise anyone with their higher power and resilience.

Hu Anjing was also there and throw a jab at Cai ZhenKang.

"Do I need to remind you that I had 90 kills?" She declared proudly. Hu Anjing plus her new sword were a terrifying duo that you wouldn't want to go up against. Li Huang thought that using her new sword could add to her power by a percentage but he never thought that their compatibility would be this high.

'I guess this is why the formation called to her…' Li Huang thought.

Cai ZhenKang who was showing off to Li Huang didn't dare to do the same with Hu Anjing. He saw firsthand how strong she was in this fight so going against her would only show stupidity.

"Ahahaha, as expected of the leader!" he said and cupped his fists toward Hu Anjing. He tried to imitate his fellow disciples when he would perform well.

"…" Hu Anjing who was weirded out, didn't know what to say so she just looked at Li Huang to see his reaction. Li Huang was hardly controlling his laughter as he knew how much Cai ZhenKang was afraid of Hu Anjing.

"Let's go back." Hu Anjing just shook her head and gestured to both of them.

——(POV third person, second line of defense)——

"Your name was Ye Ling, right? Your knowledge on these beasts was helpful." Li Wanrou said. They only had to handle 34 gargantuan apes but the information that Ye Ling had made it much easier for them to fight the apes.

"Yes, thank you." Ye Ling said with a small frown. She didn't know how she should act with a chief disciple of another sect.

"How did you know all this information?" Li Wanrou asked. She guessed that Li Huang had fought this beast before but she wanted to make sure.

Ye Ling wasn't stupid and knew that Li Wanrou was getting information from her but as long as it was public knowledge she didn't have a problem with answering it.

"Me and senior brother and senior sister fought one of them in the trial." Ye Ling said.

"I see." Li Wanrou nodded and said.

…

"Senior brother, senior sister." Dai Bao cupped his fists when he saw Li Huang and others.

Li Huang and others who fought the gargantuan apes got together soon after the fight was finished and ran back toward the walls after some small talks.

"No problems on your side?" Li Huang asked Dai Bao. Cai ZhenKang and Li Wanrou too went toward their fellow disciples to ask about their fights. As all the smaller beasts would run from the gargantuan apes, these disciples had to fight them with all they had so their work wasn't easy.

"Nothing much, some small injuries here and there but we can continue fighting." Dai Bao said. He and others worked together to stop the horde of the smaller beasts.

"Good job, only a few more hours it left." Li Huang said. He could feel that fatigue was building up in everyone.

"Thank y—" Dai Bao was about to thank Li Huang that Cai ZhenKang's shout stopped him.

"What? Where is that bastard? How dare he get injured?" Cai ZhenKang shouted at his fellow disciples. He was looking for Kong Zexi and got a little angry because he didn't come here to greet him as he wanted to brag that he won against Li Huang in the number of kills and gained face for their sect. The disciples hesitated at first but when Cai ZhenKang told them that he might accidentally crush their skulls, they told him that Kong Zexi had an injury that made him unable to fight for an hour. At that moment, Cai ZhenKang snapped.

The truth of the matter is that Cai ZhenKang was only worried for Kong Zexi but didn't want to appear weak so he started cursing him so that no one can see his true feelings.
