CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: JUST A BUNCH OF LACKEYS, HOW DARE YOU BE SO ARROGANT!

At this moment.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

A gust of foul wind blew over.

Two gigantic brown bears had already seized the chance to charge towards Jiang Che.

Their eyes were fierce, filled with murderous intent, and their gaping maws reeked of a noxious stench as they lunged at Jiang Che.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several fist-sized Thunder Balls had already formed, spinning through the air like cannonballs, their lightning illuminating the sky as they streaked through.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosive Thunder Balls continuously detonated, sending the two massive bears, as large as small mountains, flying into the air, their bodies spewing blood mist.

The Thunder Power was incredibly destructive, tearing the bears’ bodies apart, revealing numerous fissures beneath their scorched fur.

Bang!

The bodies fell to the ground.

At this moment, the two giant bears had already lost their breath, a pool of blood flowing beneath them, staining their bodies, appearing extremely tragic.

Easily dispatching the attacking beasts, Jiang Che continued forward with Nangong Luo.

The purple battle pattern on his neck glowed with a stream of purple light, shimmering with a radiant glow.

His eyes were like torches, scanning the mountains and forests without fear, emanating a dense murderous aura.

Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!

More than a dozen Black Poison Wolves surrounded them, their eyes cold and bloodthirsty.

Waves of black poisonous mist emanated from their bodies, gathering above the wolf pack, gradually transforming into a dense, oppressive poison cloud hovering overhead.

As the Black Poison Wolves moved, the oppressive poison cloud drifted toward Jiang Che.

This poisonous mist was extremely toxic, withering and drying the bushes and flowers it passed, causing them to quickly wither away.

"Roar!"

Jiang Che let out a long howl, numerous bolts of lightning appearing from within his body, flickering rapidly around him.

His four tiger claws shone with a golden light, which gradually solidified, transforming into extremely sharp golden blades.

Jiang Che, with a mighty leap, crashed directly into the wolf pack.

The moment the toxic black mist touched the external purple lightning.

The lightning flickered, transforming the black mist into a wisp of green smoke.

Swish! Swish!

Rumble!

The golden blade light flickered among the wolf pack, tearing through wolf corpses, blood and flesh flying; bolts of lightning pierced through the black mist, striking each Black Poison Wolf, reducing them to charred corpses.

The entire poisonous mist resounded with the eerie wails of the Black Poison Wolves!

A moment later, the poisonous mist gradually dispersed.

The entire Black Poison Wolf pack lay in a pool of blood, shattered and charred wolf corpses littering the ground, filling the air with a sickening stench.

Jiang Che stood amid this bloody hell, his tiger eyes filled with coldness, thunder rolling over his tiger body, exuding a powerful, murderous aura.

Retrieving the heavily expended Thunder Power back into his body.

Jiang Che continued forward!

With every step through the mountain path, a chilling murderous intent surged from the forest!

Fierce beasts emerged from the woods, clawing and roaring, pouncing toward Jiang Che.

"Roar!"

The tiger’s roar sounded like thunder!

Jiang Che, unstoppable, swept all before him!

The overwhelming scent of blood swept through the entire forest.

At this moment, the cries of fierce beasts echoed continuously in Changbai Mountain.

Their anguished wails resounded through the forest, terrifying like the cries of ghosts.

Slaughtering the beasts that charged out, Jiang Che carved a bloody path with his immense strength.

Using the blood and bones of countless fierce beasts in Changbai Mountain, he forged his supreme notoriety!

"Haha! If Second Brother were here, it’d be great! These are all prime blood meals; if he devoured them all using the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Scripture, his power would undoubtedly increase greatly!

What a pity!"

Looking back at the path of beast corpses that paved a bloody road, Jiang Che couldn’t help but think.

At this moment, Jiang Che was covered in blood, his murderous aura towering, like a living Demon God!

"This..."

Nangong Luo’s mind was shaken, her tiger eyes dazed.

"Only someone this powerful is worthy of being the First Brother of this Emperor!"

An uncontrollable trace of admiration unexpectedly emerged in her heart.

By the time Nangong Luo came back to her senses, Jiang Che had already moved forward again.

Nangong Luo hurried to follow.

A moment later.

Jiang Che had fought his way into the depths of Changbai Mountain.

The Spiritual Qi here was more intense, and the trees were much taller than those on the outskirts. Occasionally, one might even encounter late-stage second-order fierce beasts.

Perhaps Jiang Che’s notoriety was too great.

Or perhaps the beast blood covering him frightened them.

All around, the fierce beasts that originally approached hesitated to come forward, their bodies trembling, fear in their eyes.

"Roar!"

With a roar from Jiang Che, all beasts shivered with fear, letting out a wailing sound, tails between their legs, scattering in all directions.

After driving away the pesky beasts.

Jiang Che and Nangong Luo finally began their search for the Bodhi Holy Tree in the depths.

Because of the Bodhi Holy Tree’s own Gathering Spirit characteristic, the place it grows is usually the area with the densest concentration of Spiritual Qi.

Therefore, every time Nangong Luo entered a new area, she would perform the Spirit-Seeking Secret Technique.

She observed the density of Spiritual Qi around her to determine the location of the Bodhi Holy Tree.

"What a dense fluctuation of Spiritual Power!"

On a mountain top, Nangong Luo’s eyes widened, staring toward a nearby valley in surprise.

Ahead were four towering peaks encircling one another, forming a massive valley in the center.

Within the valley, a dense mist shrouded the area, obscuring vision.

One couldn’t see the specific situation clearly at all.

And above the valley.

Nangong Luo was filled with shock.

At that moment, there was a massive vortex of Spiritual Qi continuously rotating, drawing threads of Spiritual Qi from all directions.

It could be said that the entire Spiritual Qi of Changbai Mountain was converging towards the Spiritual Qi vortex, surging like a Spiritual River flowing downwards, appearing extremely spectacular!

"The Bodhi Holy Tree should be here! With such powerful Gathering Spirit ability, ordinary Spirit Plants or Spiritual Medicines cannot possibly achieve this!"

Nangong Luo was certain in her mind, her eyes filled with joy.

Then, the two tigers quickly climbed over the ridge, entering the valley smoothly.

The first thing they felt was the Spiritual Mist rushing at them!

Indeed.

The Spiritual Qi here was so dense that it had begun to liquefy!

Such an environment opened Jiang Che’s eyes.

Looking forward.

There before them was a Peach Grove!

These peach trees were only two zhang tall, with gnarled branches, tough and steady, lush leaves glistening with a vibrant green.

Fist-sized pink fruits hung densely on the branches, hidden among the green leaves.

The entire valley was filled with the intoxicating aroma of peaches.

"The Bodhi Holy Tree should be within this Peach Grove!"

Nangong Luo’s gaze swept over the Peach Grove.

Just as they were about to step into the Peach Grove.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A group of towering figures surrounded them from within the Spiritual Mist, making ear-piercing cries.

As they drew closer, Jiang Che discovered they were a group of giant apes.

These giant apes varied in height, the tallest being over one zhang tall, their bodies covered in red fur, muscles bulging, looking ferocious and aggressive.

The most alarming thing was.

All these giant apes were first-order fierce beasts, with many in the middle of the first order.

However.

"A pack of monkeys, daring to be impudent!"

Jiang Che sneered internally, his eyes filled with ferocity, his body overflowing with murderous intent.

"Roar!"

With a mighty roar, Jiang Che charged forward instantly!
