Raise a sword!

Stones kept flying from behind.

Jiang Peng moved left and right constantly, using the White Ape Force that he had already mastered, while also urging his Wind Chasing Boots to increase his speed.

In just a few breaths, the human and the demon had already crossed a distance of fifty feet.

The ape demon behind them pressed closer and closer.

However, Jiang Peng was not flustered at this moment. Although he looked quite disheveled and kept dodging the attacks flying from behind.

But in reality, he did not try to escape with all his might, and always maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far from the white ape.

Moreover, after luring the demon fifty feet away, Jiang Peng could already sense some covert surveillance. He knew that someone from the demon-hunting team was secretly observing the situation.

Therefore, Jiang Peng slowed down even more, and at the same time, she suddenly stumbled and her body swayed precariously.

In that instant, the white ape behind them caught up.

The enormous hand, almost half the size of Jiang Peng's body, was swung around by the white ape, creating a howling wind that almost blinded Jiang Peng.

In her haste, Jiang Peng suddenly ducked down, narrowly avoiding the attack, and then turned and continued to run away.

"We can't be too relaxed, lest we have a falling out later," Jiang Peng thought to himself.

After putting on a show for a while, the human and the demon returned to their initial rhythm, arriving one after the other in front of the thick bushes.

They were less than ten feet away from where the demon-hunting team had set up their formation.

Jiang Peng could already see the thick thicket of bushes that had been torn open when they arrived.

So he suddenly increased his speed, and when he looked back, he saw that the ape demon was still following, and had entered the formation area one after the other with Jiang Peng.

The moment the white ape stepped into the formation, an extremely strong repulsive force suddenly appeared, forcing Jiang Peng out of the formation.

Jiang Peng turned around in surprise and saw that the arrogant white ape was struggling to maintain its strength under the repulsive force, letting out a series of beastly roars and howls. However, it only lasted for a few breaths before being suppressed and falling to the ground.

The white ape continued to struggle, but even just trying to lift its head seemed to be under immense pressure.

Even now, though the white ape was clearly under the control of the formation, not a single member of the demon-hunting team showed up.

Jiang Peng peered out of the formation with some curiosity.

He saw that the white ape's body had swelled up even more, becoming even more imposing than when it had been summoning the demon earlier. At the same time, its demonic power had begun to leak out, emanating a sense of unease and threat.

However, the white ape was still unable to break free from the formation's constraints.

Time passed by, second by second.

Finally, after suppressing the white ape for half an hour, one of the demon hunters appeared in the treetops, descending from the sky with a short sword in each hand.

Just as the short knife was about to fall on the white ape, the white ape, which had been suppressed, suddenly stood up.

"Be careful!"

"retreat!"

The sudden turn of events immediately drew gasps of surprise from the people hiding in the shadows.

The one who made the first move to test the waters was no ordinary person; he seemed to have anticipated this scene.

His figure paused in mid-air for a moment, as if his feet were on air, abruptly stopping his descent and even changing direction, landing on a nearby tree branch.

Jiang Peng secretly cheered from the side.

This demonstrates experience.

The demon-hunting team probably knew all along that the white ape wouldn't be so easily subdued, so they waited patiently for a long time.

Even when it came to the final test, they were extremely cautious.

Qi cultivators cannot fly. The limit is to briefly take to the air with the help of magical artifacts or movement techniques.

The cultivator wielding the twin swords managed to escape danger even while in mid-air, proving that he possessed at least a highly skilled movement technique.

"It seems like nothing unexpected should happen."

After realizing it had been tricked, the white ape was quick-witted enough to pretend to be restrained, hoping to provoke the person hiding in the shadows to make a move, and then launch a counterattack.

Unfortunately, it encountered an experienced demon-hunting team, leaving it no chance whatsoever.

"That's good too. At least the white ape didn't fight to the death, so it can leave behind more essence and blood." Jiang Peng was slightly relieved.

Inside the formation, all six members of the demon-hunting team had appeared.

Each of these six people has their own methods.

Wielding two swords, he moved with ease and agility in close combat.

Old Liu stood at the very front, wielding a large knife and slashing repeatedly, leaving bloody marks on the white ape's body.

The others either activated talismans or cast spells.

In an instant, the six of them displayed their unique abilities, defeating the white ape that was suppressed by the formation and could only move with difficulty, causing it to retreat step by step and scream in agony.

Just when Jiang Peng thought that he was about to win a great victory in this battle.

An unexpected change occurred!

The white ape, which had been moving slowly and was covered in countless wounds, suddenly let out a long howl.

It punched Old Liu in the front.

Seeing this, Lao Liu instinctively tried to dodge, but then he saw the white ape suddenly display extremely terrifying agility. The fist that had been swung out actually changed direction and landed on the small man holding two swords beside him.

bang——

A powerful punch sent the short man flying out of the formation. He coughed up blood in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Fourth brother!" Old Liu exclaimed in surprise.

At the same time, Jiang Peng also came to the side of the short man known as the fourth brother, and immediately saw his completely sunken chest.

The injuries are so severe that they are clearly visible from the outside; the internal organs are likely completely shattered.

Sure enough, the fourth brother coughed heavily, each cough bringing up chunks of bright red flesh—broken internal organs.

He struggled to take out a bottle of pills and poured them directly into his mouth.

After doing all this, his pupils began to dilate in just a few breaths, and he became completely still.

Jiang Peng's expression turned serious.

This guy, called the fourth one, has the same cultivation level as him, both at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Such a cultivator was only hit once and died on the spot.

Thinking of this, Jiang Peng looked into the formation.

But then they saw that the white ape, for some reason, had begun to ignore the formation and was killing so many of the remaining five members of the demon-hunting team that they could hardly hold their own.

In that brief moment, Lao Liu even exchanged a glance with Jiang Peng, his eyes full of questions.

Jiang Peng shook her head slightly.

Seeing this, a hint of resentment flashed in Old Liu's eyes.

But this resentment was of no use whatsoever.

bang——

Hot blood splattered all over Lao Liu's body.

This time it's the one who led the way at the front before.

He was caught off guard by the white ape, which slapped him on the head. His neck and above were instantly blown into a mixture of flesh, blood, and bone fragments, which fell everywhere.
