When he heard that, Xuan Yi laughed. “Fufu, what a sharp ape. Even he knows that we’re one of the five main sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty and that’s why he wants to be accepted as a disciple of this fortuitous sect.”
“Yes, that ape’s quite agile. I wonder how long it can last under the attacks of our lil crane.”
“Listen! Lil crane seems to be angry, haha!”
“Poor ape.”
“Come on, let’s go check it out.”
Wen Xuan and Xuan Yi were both smiling and relaxed as they soared towards the peak carrying a child each.
In all fairness…
Su Zimo was only at the third section of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness and was not a match for the spirit demon yet, even if it was only at early-stage Foundation Establishment.
However, Su Zimo’s goal was not to fight it out with the crane. Instead, he merely wanted to dodge it and reach the peak. With that, things were much simpler.
Swoosh!
The crane dove once more as Su Zimo’s eyes shone brightly. Pushing his legs, he continued striding horizontally on the smooth walls of the peak as he dodged the attacks of the crane while climbing up swiftly.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Su Zimo’s fingers and feet dug deep into the rocks. His speed was not inferior to when he was on the ground!
“Caw, caw!”
When the crane caught sight of that, it was even more enraged as it soared through the skies and burst off like a rocket, appearing behind Su Zimo and attacking relentlessly with its talons and beak.
Its long beak was even sharper than a flying sword such that every single poke sent a sharp, ringing sound reverberating through Su Zimo’s ears.
As long as the beak pierced him, there would definitely be a bloody hole on his body.
The little fatty was so scared that he was shivering with his eyes closed tightly.
Su Zimo dodged repeatedly as his tendons cried out. With every single expansion and contraction, his blood would be filled as his large tendon convulsed intensely, pushing his body to its limits.
Using just his spirit perception, Su Zimo dodged the attack of the crane countless times as he continued climbing.
The cries of the crane were getting more hurried and in fact, there was even a hint of killing intent!
He was getting closer to the top of the peak.
At the same time, the crane’s attacks were getting fiercer too!
…
As the two Dao children looked at everything unfold from the top of the peak, they were sweating from head to toe for the scholar as though they were the ones being attacked right at that moment.
The man and the crane contended against one another on the steep peak. Even though the man seemed unable to fight back, it was still extremely dangerous and intense.
Any bit slower and the scholar could very well be dead in the talons of the crane!
Wen Xuan and Xuan Yi had equally grim looks on their faces as they watched fixedly, prepared to save him if need be.
“To think that the scholar would still have strength left to be able to continue climbing while defending against our lil crane’s attack,” Xuan Yi’s tone was somewhat amazed.
Wen Xuan commented solemnly, “If I’m not mistaken, the bow and saber on the scholar’s waist are made from spiritual items. Even though those are pseudo spirit weapons, they weigh more than an entire ton together!”
Wen Xuan’s remark had a clear meaning behind it – if Su Zimo had not been carrying the Sanguine Crystal Bow and Cold Moon Saber, he would have been even more agile and might have even reached the top of the peak by now!
Wen Xuan and Xuan Yi exchanged glances.
There was a common consensus as a thought flashed through their minds. “This scholar… is interesting.”
