**Chapter 74: Killed the Young One, the Elder Arrived.**
April 4, 2023 By Fu Hejun
This was a baboon approximately six meters tall, covered in brownish-yellow fur, with brown eyes. Its arms were extraordinarily long, its claws bore sharp nails, canines protruded from its lips, and a fierce gleam shone in its eyes. The faint purple light emanating from its body indicated it was a Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
Generally speaking, Thousand-Year Soul Beasts varied in strength; weaker ones could only contend with Level 30 Soul Venerates, while stronger ones could easily defeat Soul Kings. Thus, as a Thousand-Year Soul Beast, even when facing Tang San and the other Soul Venerates, it showed no signs of backing down.
However, when this baboon saw Zhao Wuji behind the group, its instincts as a Soul Beast screamed a frantic warning!
Thus, this Thousand-Year Soul Beast, which had originally been roaring in challenge at Tang San and the others, instantly turned around. It pushed off the ground powerfully with its hind legs, frantically running towards the distance.
With wind surrounding its body, this Swift Gale Baboon's speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, it had already sprinted over ten meters away.
"Trying to run?"
Seeing the Soul Beast decisively escape, the well-prepared Zhao Wuji sneered. He instantly activated his Martial Soul Possession, and seven soul rings flashed around his body. Then, his third soul ring lit up.
The Swift Gale Baboon, which had been racing, suddenly stiffened, and its speed dramatically decreased. This was due to Zhao Wuji's third soul ring skill, Gravity Enhancement.
Immediately afterward, Zhao Wuji's fourth and fifth soul rings lit up simultaneously. His body suddenly leaped into the air, and when he landed again, guided by his fourth soul ring skill, Positioning Tracking, he arrived directly above the Swift Gale Baboon. Gravity Compression activated simultaneously.
No matter how fast the Swift Gale Baboon could run, against Zhao Wuji's formidable soul power, it was utterly meaningless. Dealing with a Thousand-Year Soul Beast was a piece of cake for the Immovable King of Light.
Still in mid-air, Zhao Wuji clapped his bear paw, directly slapping the Swift Gale Baboon on the head.
"Bang!"
The Swift Gale Baboon was instantly smashed, its head bleeding, its massive six-meter-tall body crashing thunderously to the ground.
Zhao Wuji landed gracefully, the entire capture process a seamless one. He controlled his strength perfectly; this palm strike only heavily injured the Swift Gale Baboon, making it lose its ability to resist, without directly killing it.
"It's done."
Tang San and the others simultaneously cheered excitedly. After several days of hard work, they had finally succeeded in their goal. Oscar's excitement was palpable as he dashed quickly towards Zhao Wuji.
"Alright, quickly finish it off," Zhao Wuji urged, handing him a knife.
Looking at the dying Swift Gale Baboon on the ground, Oscar didn't hesitate, fearing another would come to snatch it. He immediately used the knife to end the Swift Gale Baboon's life.
A faint purple soul ring rose!
Oscar sat down right next to the Swift Gale Baboon, raising his hand to summon his Big Sausage. Under the cover of a faint pink light, he guided the Swift Gale Baboon's soul ring to flow into his body. He began absorbing his third soul ring.
Seeing Oscar begin absorbing the soul ring, Zhao Wuji relaxed. As soon as he finished absorbing the soul ring, their objective for this trip would be fulfilled. They could return.
After some time, Oscar successfully absorbed the soul ring.
"Congratulations, Little Oscar." Zhao Wuji smiled as he looked at him. After obtaining his third soul ring, Oscar had undergone some subtle changes. His figure seemed to have grown a few inches, and he looked much more energetic.
Oscar smiled too, just as he was about to say something. Zhao Wuji's expression across from him suddenly changed. A cold aura burst forth from his body, and with a low growl, he instantly activated his Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul Possession.
"Teacher Zhao, what's wrong?"
Tang San and the others were initially puzzled by Zhao Wuji's sudden actions. But soon, a violent aura surged towards them like a tide, instantly letting them know the reason.
"Roar!!"
An earth-shattering roar sounded.
Accompanying it was a gust of wind!
"Boom!!!"
A gigantic figure descended from the sky, crashing onto the ground.
When Tang San and the others saw the true appearance of this massive figure, their expressions drastically changed. For what appeared before them was a great ape about 30 meters tall, whose appearance was not just similar, but absolutely identical to the Swift Gale Baboon lying on the ground.
At this moment, this enormous Swift Gale Baboon had streams of green wind swirling around its body. Its muscles bulged, its eyes were blood-red, and its face was greenish with exposed fangs! Its appearance was extremely ferocious and terrifying.
"ROAR!!!!"
The colossal Swift Gale Baboon lowered its head to gaze at the tragically dead little Swift Gale Baboon on the ground. Then, it threw its head back and let out a sorrowful roar of fury, continuously pounding its chest with its massive fists, venting its grief and rage!
Even Tang San and the others could feel the rage of this Swift Gale Baboon before them, and the kind of berserk power that wanted to destroy everything!
Undoubtedly, they had killed the young one, and the elder had arrived.
Zhao Wuji's mouth twitched. Why was he so unlucky lately? Who the hell would have thought that killing a Thousand-Year Soul Beast would attract a Ten Thousand-Year Soul Beast? And one conservatively estimated to be at least sixty thousand years old!
Now he could only be grateful that this Ten Thousand-Year Soul Beast had arrived a bit late. If it had arrived while Oscar was absorbing his soul ring, then they would have truly been in massive trouble.
It was still better now; at least they could retreat freely and wouldn't be forced to stay put and take a beating.
"You guys, I'll hold it off for a bit; you escape as fast as you can!" Zhao Wuji whispered, instructing Tang San and the others.
"Teacher Zhao, how can we leave you here...?" Oscar said anxiously.
"Idiots!" Zhao Wuji softly cursed at him. Then he lowered his voice, "I can feel that this Soul Beast's strength is very great; I might not be its opponent. If I'm alone, I can still escape. But if I have to protect you, it'll be troublesome. I'll stay and block it; you guys escape quickly, and I'll escape once you're far away."
Hearing his words, and knowing that this was indeed the best course of action at the moment, Tang San and the others could only nod, agreeing to his plan.
Seeing that the colossal Swift Gale Baboon had fixed its blood-red eyes on them, Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice, "I'll hold it off; you all leave this place immediately with your fastest speed." Dropping these words, the seven soul rings on his body shone brightly as he charged towards the Swift Gale Baboon.
The first, second, third, and fifth soul rings lit up simultaneously. Facing such a powerful opponent, Zhao Wuji directly unleashed four of his total seven soul skills. First, he activated Immovable King Body for protection. Gravity Control comprehensively enveloped the Swift Gale Baboon, centered on Zhao Wuji. Gravity Compression was fully activated in conjunction with Gravity Control, limiting its body as much as possible. At the same time, he channeled soul power into both palms for Mighty Vajra Palm, without reservation, and charged towards the Swift Gale Baboon.
"Boom!"
The enormous Swift Gale Baboon and Zhao Wuji collided, commencing an intense combat.
Tang San and the others on the side, seeing this scene, were just about to escape according to the plan when an unexpected change occurred.
"ROAR!!!"
Accompanied by an angry roar.
Another enormous Swift Gale Baboon emerged. The black light shimmering on its body proved that this baboon was also a Ten Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Its height was approximately fifteen to sixteen meters. Perhaps it was a mate or something similar to the thirty-meter-tall baboon?
Tang San and the others speculated.
Looking at this Swift Gale Baboon, which was only half the size of the fifty to sixty thousand-year Soul Beast, and feeling the immense pressure washing over them, they knew that even if the few of them teamed up, they were absolutely no match for this baboon.
After exchanging glances, they decisively scattered and fled.
These four each chose a direction to escape. This way, it could not only serve to confuse the enemy, but also ensure that even if one person was caught, the other three had a high chance of escaping. Now it was just a matter of who was more unlucky.
The newly arrived Swift Gale Baboon watched the four people fleeing in different directions. After a moment of hesitation, it still targeted one direction and gave chase.
Unfortunately, that direction was exactly where Tang San was fleeing.
