High Martial Arts 2077: I Rely on Beast Taming to Cultivate While Lying Down

Chapter 102 Three Punches Shatter the Demonic Ape's Soul! Helping You Ascend to Emperor

Just as Su Chen rushed toward the Dark Demon Ape King, twenty meters behind him...

Zhang Yan pierced the abdomen of a demonic dog with a single shot and casually tossed the corpse aside.

She looked up and saw Su Chen charging towards the Black Demon Ape King all by himself.

"Why did Brother Chen suddenly get angry?" Wang Yichuan had just shattered the skull of a demon rat with his Seven Star Fist and was now frowning as he looked at Su Chen's back.

Zhang Yan tilted her head and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's childhood trauma or stress disorder?"

Wang Yichuan paused for a moment, then seriously considered, "This... Brother Chen shouldn't have experienced this situation before."

"Some people look normal, but their minds are already messed up. Su Chen doesn't look like a normal person at all—" Zhang Yan was saying when she suddenly heard an angry shout from afar.

"Zhang Yan! You muscle-bound freak, what are you standing there for?" Su Chen shouted without turning his head, charging forward, "Hurry up and come help! Beat these stupid black apes who are trying to stop me to death!"

Zhang Yan's canine tooth flashed reflexively.

But before she could retort, Su Chen's next words came: "If you don't work hard, I'll dock your pay when you get back!"

Zhang Yan's body reacted before her brain, and she immediately rushed forward.

"They're here! They're here!"

After rushing five or six steps, she suddenly realized what was happening.

Wait a minute! Why am I being so obedient?

She's not his employee! He's the master, and she's the apprentice. He's charging her tuition, not a pittance for her work!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the more I feel cheated.

But we've already broken through; we can't go back now.

With nowhere to vent her frustration, she could only take it out on the nearest black ape.

The black demon ape in front was about 2.8 meters tall, much smaller than the leader, and was squatting on the roof of an abandoned car, looking in Lin Xiyue's direction.

It suddenly sensed a violent aura coming from behind and instinctively turned its head.

Then... it saw a white fist.

The fist didn't look big, even a bit small, and the psionic energy surrounding it wasn't particularly dazzling.

But the power of that fist...

"boom-!!!"

A muffled thud exploded.

The black ape's skull caved in instantly, and its left eyeball burst open from the impact, spraying black blood from its eye socket.

Before it could even scream, its entire body was blasted away and crashed into the roller shutter door of a roadside shop.

His limbs hung limply at his sides, black blood trickling down the crack in the door. He twitched twice and then went completely still.

Zhang Yan shook her wrist, her breathing becoming more rapid than usual.

not bad!

It feels more solid than yesterday.

The Mountain-Opening Fist technique has likely reached its limit, but it can be continuously refined.

She turned around, ready to find the next unlucky black ape.

Then... she froze.

Not far away, a small black ape was staring blankly at her.

This black ape is only about two and a half meters tall and looks like a sub-adult.

It was charging towards Zhang Yan, but after witnessing its companion's head being smashed open with a single punch, it froze in place.

Seeing Zhang Yan looking at it, it subconsciously took a step back.

This one step made Zhang Yan's eyes light up instantly.

Because it's cute?

No! It's because this one is obviously an easy target!

She also loves squeezing the softest persimmons!

"Hmph! Don't even think about running away!"

Zhang Yan dashed out instantly, her speed increasing by 30% compared to before.

It had only taken two steps when its ankle was grabbed.

Zhang Yan gripped the black ape's legs tightly and twisted her waist and hips violently.

One lap... two laps... three laps!

Then Zhang Yan suddenly released her grip.

The black ape was thrown out and landed twenty meters away, rolling around before finally crashing into a pile of abandoned furniture on the street corner.

It endured its injuries and fled in a panic.

In its limited understanding, human females should be relatively gentle creatures, at least gentler than males, or even... easy to bully!

It had seen females who had been beaten to tears by the leader and then had their skulls opened.

But right now... this petite girl is too brutal!

Zhang Yan has already arrived.

"Boom!"

He was punched away, twitched a few times, tried to get up, but lay back down.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan dusted off her hands, pouted, and muttered, "Hmph~ It's a male after all!"

So you backed down already? I thought we'd have a good fight today!

On the other side of the street, the dozen or so people from Beishan University felt a sudden relief from the pressure and even had the leisure to observe the expressions of Su Chen and the others.

A boy wearing round-framed glasses exclaimed in shock after seeing Su Chen and Zhang Yan's performance, "These two are too fierce! Their strength is probably over a thousand!"

"That short girl seems even stronger!" Zhang He's tone was filled with undisguised shock.

Are all universities in Gangneung this amazing?

Could he be a sophomore?

That doesn't seem possible either!

Jiangling University has much richer resources, and students should have mastered spiritual arts by their second year, but these two have never used them.

Wu Qing's gaze passed over Zhang Yan and landed on the back of the figure that was charging towards the Dark Demon Ape King.

Her brow furrowed slightly, and her tone became more serious: "That boy in front is clearly the captain. He probably has many more tricks up his sleeve."

Zhang He slowly nodded: "That's true!"

He paused, then added, "This strength is like that of a sophomore at Jiangling University. Why hasn't he used any spiritual techniques yet? Does he think it's unnecessary?"

This question also silenced Wu Qing.

She thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with a reasonable answer, so she could only shake her head.

"I don't quite understand—let's fight first!"

In front.

The encirclement surrounding Su Chen is getting thicker and thicker.

The Dark Demon Ape King continuously emitted low, rhythmic roars.

It is deploying troops and testing the depths of humanity in its own way!

Within its limited intelligence, the aura of the human before it was not strong, not even comparable to that of the female who had just released the azure sword light.

But the aura emanating from him made the Dark Demon Ape King instinctively uneasy.

It has seen too many powerful humans, those truly terrifying humans, who never reveal all their cards at the very beginning of a battle.

It cannot let this human get close; it must find out what other tricks he has up his sleeve before he gets close!

As it roared incessantly, one black demon ape after another surrounded it, forming a wall of flesh.

Su Chen gripped his long sword, facing a black demon ape charging towards him from the front.

This black ape was of medium size, but it moved extremely fast, throwing out punches in rapid succession, each punch accompanied by the sound of wind breaking.

Su Chen dodged the first two punches by sidestepping, but the third punch grazed his shoulder, creating a terrifying amount of wind pressure.

Su Chen swiftly slashed at the Black Demon Ape's forearm. The blade cut into the hard callus, producing a screeching sound, but it only penetrated less than two centimeters before being trapped by the callus and muscle.

These elite black apes are incredibly tough and resilient!

Just then, a silver-white figure swept past from the side.

Xiao Zi's limbs were slightly bent, her center of gravity lowered, and all four paws pushed off the ground at the same time.

Thunderous body rams!

Its body shot out like a lightning bolt.

The moment it charged out, lightning exploded on its body, forming a layer of pale blue electric light that enveloped its entire body.

Wherever it passed, the rubble on the ground was scorched black by the electric arcs. A black demon ape blocking its way was unable to dodge in time and was hit squarely from the side by Little Purple.

The impact of the lightning strike, combined with the paralyzing effect, caused the black demon ape to stiffen, its body flying to the side and crashing into a stone pillar of a roadside shop.

Su Chen grinned when he saw this.

He held the Beast Hunter Type 3 submachine gun level with his left hand, moved the muzzle horizontally, and swept a Level 1 kinetic energy bullet toward the swarm of demon rats rushing in from another direction.

At the same time, he pushed off with his right foot on the roof of the abandoned car, his body lifted into the air, and he flipped onto Xiao Zi's back.

The moment he settled in, he reached out and patted Xiao Zi's head hard.

"Keep it up! If you do well this time, I'll buy you lots of bloodline purification treasures when we get back...maybe you can even advance to the peak! Then crushing these trash will be a piece of cake, right?"

After saying that, he took out a Wind and Thunder Pill from his waist and tossed it directly to Xiao Zi.

He swallowed it with a gulp.

Then, Xiao Zi's pupils suddenly contracted.

The medicinal effects spread rapidly, and the energy of wind and thunder surged.

"Awoo~!"

Xiao Zi raised her head and let out a powerful roar.

Then...it moved!

Using the full power of the Swift Step, he braced his four claws against the wall and spun back.

Thunder Fang activated, an electric arc exploded, and it bit the arm of a Black Demon Ape that was about to pounce from the side, the current coursing through its body.

Su Chen's long sword followed closely, piercing into his skull!

Little Purple didn't linger in the fight. As it released its grip, it pushed off its chest with its four paws, using the momentum to propel itself forward and flip in mid-air.

Wind and Thunder Claw!

Its claws, coated with azure-blue wind and thunder energy, drew three arc-shaped blades of light in the air, accurately striking the back of another black demon ape, tearing open a wound from which black blood flowed out. Then, before its body even hit the ground, it took a deep breath, and a flash of lightning appeared deep in its throat.

Thunder roar!

A ring-shaped wave of lightning spread outwards.

The three black demon apes that were closing in from different directions were hit by the lightning, slowing their movements by a full beat.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Zi landed, pushed off the ground with her four paws, and flipped back again. Her lightning protection was activated, and a light blue electric shield exploded on her body, shocking the two demon rats that attacked from behind, causing them to fall to the ground.

Swift Step, Thunder Fang, Thunder Roar, Wind and Thunder Claw, Heavenly Thunder Protection... activate all five skills in a flash!

Su Chen rode on its back, cooperating quickly and continuously reaping the rewards.

At the same time, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Awesome!"

"As long as you're willing to work hard, I'll help you ascend to the throne!"

"Awoo~!"

Xiao Zi was full of energy and high spirits, but the encirclement did not collapse because of Xiao Zi's outburst.

Surrounding the Dark Demon Ape King, three of the Black Demon Apes were high-level elites, several times larger than ordinary Black Demon Apes, with calluses on their arms as thick as black armor.

And the Dark Demon Ape King hasn't even made a move yet!

It remained hidden at the very back, staring intently at Su Chen, occasionally letting out a low growl.

It is observing, waiting, and searching for an opportunity to strike decisively!

Su Chen glanced at the increasingly smaller encirclement around him, but his expression remained completely calm.

He jumped off Xiao Zi's back, stretched his neck, and his cervical spine made a series of crisp, light cracks.

Then a slight smile appeared on his lips: "If you don't put some pressure on yourself, you'll never know where your limits are."

""

"What kind of skill is hiding and dodging? Come and fight if you dare!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light, light blue, shot out from behind him.

Arrows!

The azure arrow struck precisely in the chest of an elite mid-level Black Demon Ape.

The moment the arrow pierced the muscle, water-based spiritual energy exploded.

"Boom!"

The black ape's chest muscles were torn apart by this force, blood gushed out, and its body staggered back several steps.

Immediately afterwards, a dark bronze-colored bullet followed.

Level 4 heavy explosive projectile!

"Bang-!!!"

The level 4 bullet exploded just as the black ape's wound reopened, sending bone fragments and flesh flying in all directions.

Its body suddenly stiffened, its arms still outstretched forward, but it fell straight backward, twitched once, and then remained completely still.

The arrow and the bullet were linked together seamlessly!

Su Chen didn't turn around, but instead gave a peace sign to the person behind him.

He shouted, "Well done!"

Immediately, he gripped the long knife in his hand tightly.

kill!

He slammed his right foot down, initiating the Shadowless Step.

The figure vanished instantly, and the next moment it appeared beside an elite-level low-rank black demon ape.

Before the black ape could even react, Su Chen's left fist had already struck its side.

The explosive power of the Mountain-Opening Fist is concentrated at a single point on the fist tip, and the power chain of the Overlord Body Technique Iv3 resonates synchronously.

The fist pierced through the short black hair, smashed into the muscle layer, and then a wave of energy emanated from the other side.

Penetrate through!!!

The black ape's lumbar spine was broken by a punch, and its body bent at the waist. Before it could even scream, it collapsed to the ground.

Su Chen did not pause.

Using the recoil from his punch, he turned to the side, his right hand sweeping across with his long sword, the blade slicing into the lower leg joint of another black demon ape.

At the same time, taking advantage of the brief moment of airtime, Su Chen drew his Beast Hunter Type 3 submachine gun from his waist with his left hand.

He pointed his gun at the approaching horde of black apes and pulled the trigger.

"Da da da da da—!"

'

Three-stage kinetic energy projectile!

In just over ten seconds, two reloads, three magazines, 150 rounds, and 30,000 Federal Credits were all spent!

Bullets rained down on the black apes, pinning them down.

Several black apes were riddled with bullet holes.

After a burst of fire, the Black Ape formation clearly broke apart.

"Roar~!"

The Dark Demon Ape King let out a furious roar.

It slammed its fists into the ground, creating a shallow crater, and pebbles flew in all directions.

Then it let out a low, drawn-out roar.

The rhythm of this roar was clearly different!

The group of demon rats, demon hounds, and demon insects that were still surrounding the other team members almost simultaneously abandoned the battle at hand.

Instead of attacking, they turned around in unison and surged towards Su Chen.

An elite-level high-ranking black demon ape, wounded by a bullet, suddenly pounced.

Su Chen threw a punch and clashed head-on with him.

The two fists collided, and Su Chen was briefly knocked back a distance by the enormous force, leaving a trail under his feet.

His arm also felt slightly numb, but the black demon ape's arm was also knocked back, and its body staggered back two steps.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Dark Demon Ape King has retreated nearly thirty meters from the center of the battlefield!

It turned around without hesitation, its massive body weaving through the ruins.

It escaped!

"boom!"

These humans are too powerful; it doesn't want to take the risk here.

Seeing this, Su Chen's eyes narrowed, and he wanted to give chase, but the injured high-level black demon ape attacked again.

"snort!"

Enraged, Su Chen charged forward.

"court death!"

One punch, and his right arm was completely ruined.

"Will you dare to do it again?"

Two punches, and his skull split open.

"Do you dare?!"

Three punches...

"Boom!"

"You're not giving me any face when I'm asking you a question?!"

The heavily injured high-level black demon ape collapsed to the ground.

Ahead, the Dark Demon Ape King was fleeing frantically.

But the next moment, a flaming spear descended from the sky, shooting down from the rooftop of the residential building on the right!

The Dark Demon Ape King's pupils suddenly contracted.

It instinctively dodged to the left, but the flaming spear was too fast, and its tip pierced precisely through the muscle of its right chest.

The fire-attribute spiritual energy attached to the gun instantly exploded inside the wound, filling the air with a burnt smell.

"Roar~!"

The Dark Demon Ape King let out a piercing scream. It clutched the still-burning, penetrating wound in its chest, its body swaying violently, almost collapsing to its knees.

On the rooftop of the residential building, Jiang Yunxin made a hand seal with one hand.

Today she was wearing a deep red combat uniform, her red hair fluttering in the wind, and sparks from the flaming spear still lingered on her fingertips.

Her gaze swept across the battlefield, locking onto the figure of the Dark Demon Ape King.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of heavy machine gun fire erupted from the rooftop.

Li Yu!

More than half an hour later.

Only the Dark Demon Ape King remains on the battlefield!

It stood alone on a pile of ruins, surrounded by the corpses of black demon apes and their minions.

Its right chest was pierced by a flame spear, leaving a charred, bloody hole the size of a fist. Its entire body was riddled with bullet holes from heavy machine gun fire, with bullets embedded in the flesh and bone.

Its right kneecap was broken, and it walked with a limp.

But it's still standing!

As the leader, it will not fall easily.

Jiang Yunxin stood on the rooftop, raising her right hand once more.

In her palm, another flame began to condense, its flames dancing at her fingertips.

She prepared to once again summon the magical flaming spear to reap the life of the Dark Demon Ape King.

"Wait!"

Su Chen said calmly, "Leave the rest to me."

Jiang Yunxin glanced at him, didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and the flame in her palm slowly dissipated.

She took half a step back and crossed her arms over her chest.

Her gaze fell on Su Chen, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Although she arrived late and didn't see the specific situation, Su Chen single-handedly charged into the Black Demon Ape horde and even scared away the Dark Demon Ape King.

That's...so intense, so cool!

It far exceeded her expectations.

But based on our brief contact, Su Chen has indeed been able to create miracles time and again, which is quite unexpected.

Su Chen walked towards the Dark Demon Ape King.

The Dark Demon Ape King watched the human approach step by step and let out a low growl.

Those dark red eyes were fixed on Su Chen.

That look in his eyes was complex; it wasn't pure fear, nor was it entirely anger.

It's more like a mountain king who has ruled for many years, in his final moments, posing a question to a weaker being:

What right do you have to end my life?

What right do they have?!

Su Chen did not avoid its gaze.

He looked up at the enormous creature, which was at least five meters tall.

Looking at the detailed data of this Dark Demon Ape King on the system panel.

Leader-level bloodline potential, and also very high growth potential—7.7!

It also has a special ability—Dark Red Magic Runes!

With the dark red magic runes, it's like having an extra mobile command system in the wild. Low-level monsters are no longer a threat; they can even become your vanguard!

The system also unlocked containment rules: pets of rare quality or higher that have been successfully contracted can be contained in the pet space, and can even be placed in buildings such as the clan ranch or small spirit vein core.

This rule clearly solves the problem of how to complete a contract in front of so many people.

You can let it escape, and then contract contain it when no one is around!

The problem is, there are no spots available! Contracts are impossible!

But he was unwilling to kill it with just one strike.

What should we do?

This is a problem!
