This was a black giant ape standing nearly five meters tall.

Its entire body was covered with hair resembling black steel needles. Its physique was incredibly robust, with muscles knotted and prominently bulging, akin to a giant.

Its limbs were extremely stout and powerful, like huge pillars. The claws at the ends of its arms were like black long knives, shining with a cold light, emitting a fiercely aggressive aura, capable of cutting iron and splitting stone with a single swipe.

At this moment, the black giant ape's blood-red eyes were staring intensely at the Corpse Puppets like Undead One, filled with a human-like rage, and its whole body exuded a murderous aura.

"It's... it's the Protector making a move!"

"Great, we're saved, those damn zombies won't have a good end!"

"Everyone, don't panic, with Dharma Protector here..."

"..."

The appearance of this fourth-stage black giant ape suddenly filled the desperate members of the Beast King Sect with joy and hope.

With the Protector around, these Evolved Zombies surely cannot continue being rampant.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan immediately understood that the black giant ape before him must have been the formation of the Beast King Sect's Dharma Protector.

However, this mere fourth-stage Fierce Beast was entirely insufficient against Lu Chuan's team of Evolved Corpse Puppets.

Killing the opponent was as easy as flipping a hand for Lu Chuan.

"Roar!"

At this point, the black giant ape let out an angry roar, with its terrifying sound waves reverberating through the mountain, leaving the members of the Beast King Sect dizzy.

Daring to kill so many members of my Beast King Sect, you deserve to die without burial!

Boom!

The next moment, the black giant ape viciously stomped its legs, like iron pillars, onto the ground, shaking the mountain and causing the rocky ground to crack instantly, producing sharp cracking sounds.

Subsequently, the black giant ape swiftly charged towards the Evolved Corpse Puppets like lightning.

Facing the charging black giant ape, Lu Chuan directly manipulated the fifth-stage Undead One to meet it head-on.

Rumble~

Undead One made the first move, and as its body rapidly changed positions on the mountain path, the four pairs of fleshy tentacles on its back erupted with brilliant thunderlight.

Rumble~

A series of Bloodthirsty Thunderballs, resembling crimson bullets, continuously shot towards the black giant ape, forming streaks of blood lines in the air with constant howling sounds.

However, Dharma Protector Jiang had apparently observed the power of Undead One's Thunderballs and did not directly confront them, instead continuously dodging.

This resulted in many Bloodthirsty Thunderballs missing their target, colliding with the mountain and blasting huge craters into the rocky terrain, sending fragments flying everywhere.

Rumble~

However, the number of Bloodthirsty Thunderballs was too great and densely packed, making it impossible for Dharma Protector Jiang to dodge them all.

Amidst a series of explosions, Dharma Protector Jiang was finally hit by a Bloodthirsty Thunderball.

In an instant, a Bloodthirsty Thunderball exploded on Dharma Protector Jiang's chest, the explosion's power halting Jiang's charge, leaving his chest charred while Thunder Threads spread across his body, paralyzing his entire form.

While Dharma Protector Jiang's body was momentarily halted, several Bloodthirsty Thunderballs flew precisely at his chest, exploding directly.

Dharma Protector Jiang's massive form was flung away, crashing heavily on the mountain path, his chest a mess of blood and flesh, with some portions deeply exposing the bone.

"Dharma Protector!!"

Seeing this scene, the previously relieved spectators from the Beast King Sect were all shocked and soon became panicked.

If even the Dharma Protector is no match for these Evolved Corpse Puppets, isn't their fate surely sealed?

"Roar~"

Dharma Protector Jiang let out a series of painful roars, gritting through the severe pain in his chest, struggling to stand again, casting a ferocious gaze at Undead One, eyes filled with rage, charging forward.

Bang Bang Bang~

His massive ape feet swiftly pounded the ground, causing continuous tremors, as he charged towards Undead One at great speed, reaching its vicinity in just a few seconds.

Due to the excessive Spiritual Essence consumption from continuously generating Thunderballs, Undead One did not use it again.

Instead, as the opponent neared, eight fleshy tentacles shot out, biting into the black giant ape's body in Dharma Protector Jiang's astonished gaze.

Subsequently, Undead One jumped fiercely, aided by its tentacles, ascending above the black giant ape's head, its hands transforming into long scythes, slashing down fiercely upon the black giant ape.

Dharma Protector Jiang let out a furious roar, his ape arms flailing wildly, his black claws aiming to grab Undead One.

Boom~

The two sides collided instantly, the next moment, Undead One was flung away, its tentacles detaching from the opponent's body at once.

Dharma Protector Jiang let out a shrill cry of pain, with one of his ape arms breaking in the middle, severed by Undead One's scythe, the cut surface incredibly smooth, hot blood gushing forth.

With his arm severed, Dharma Protector Jiang screamed continuously, his body swaying.

Undead One also had a few scratches, which were inflicted by Dharma Protector Jiang's black claws during the attack.

Those claws were truly sharp, managing to penetrate Undead One's blackish-brown armored defense, reaching deep into the blood-red flesh.

Unfortunately, those already bleeding wounds instantly scabbed and healed, as the fifth-stage Undead One possessed extremely potent self-healing abilities.

"Monster!"

The sweat-drenched Dharma Protector Jiang, gazing at Undead One before him, showed a look of fear.

Knowing he stood no chance, the next moment, Dharma Protector Jiang clutched his severed arm and turned to flee up the mountain.

Regrettably, Undead One was much faster, catching up rapidly.

Within a few seconds, Dharma Protector Jiang hadn't run far before Undead One caught up from behind.

Whoosh!

Instantly, Undead One's four-lobed lips parted, and a blood-scaled long snake, like a blood-colored spear, directly pierced Dharma Protector Jiang's back, splattering a large burst of blood.

At that moment, Dharma Protector Jiang, who was initially fleeing for his life, abruptly froze, looking down incredulously at the tongue piercing through him, letting out a wretched cry.

Soon after, he felt his strength draining and collapsed forcefully to the ground.

Boom!

Dharma Protector Jiang's giant form fell, instantly transforming from the black giant ape back into his human form, continuously coughing up blood, his face pale, breath reaching its lowest ebb.

Feeling his control over his body diminishing rapidly, before death, Dharma Protector Jiang's unfocused eyes used the last bit of his strength to murmur unwillingly: "Monster... when our Sect Leader successfully controls that fifth-stage Fierce Beast, they will surely avenge us..."

Before finishing his words, Dharma Protector Jiang passed away.

However, his words did not escape Lu Chuan's ears.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan was also startled, realizing that a fifth-stage Fierce Beast was born in Shanchuan City?
