CHAPTER 326: CHAPTER 325 ALL BURN TOGETHER

"Roar... Xu~ Ling~jun!!!"

The Giant Ape couldn’t speak.

Even though it had extremely high intelligence, in the short time it managed to remember only those three nerve-wracking syllables.

And in its rage, it continued to roar these three syllables... accompanied by a heavy, violent outburst of anger.

The entrance was too narrow.

Its enormous body simply couldn’t enter, but previously, when the Ice Snow Leopard hid inside the cave, it was driven out by it.

It’s just a mere cave, if you don’t come out, I’ll smash it.

"Bang~~~!"

"Bang bang~~!"

Amidst a series of violent roars, the sound of the ice layers, formed from snow that had accumulated over the years, could be heard cracking and splintering.

Li Jingjun’s face was extremely grave, watching as the white ceiling of the cave above her head shook violently, revealing one brutal, long crack after another that spread like a spider web in all directions...

The cave couldn’t hold on.

Even knowing that the outside world was filled with danger, going out might not escape the attack of the Giant Ape.

Li Jingjun dared not hesitate for even a moment, leaping into the narrow passage leading several hundred meters away.

And in the next moment as she bent over to enter...

A large amount of broken snow and ice fell, completely filling the space she had just occupied. If her actions or decisions had been slightly slower, she might have been buried alive in the cave.

Yet even so, the crisis was not over.

Li Jingjun moved swiftly, her hands and feet sliding across the ice as if skating.

She knew that the Giant Ape had ambushed the Ice Snow Leopard here before, killing both of them, which showed its cunning nature... it couldn’t possibly be unaware of the existence of this other exit.

But at this moment, the snow under her continued to accumulate upward.

She could only climb relentlessly... a slight slowdown in movement and she would be buried in the snow, and in this cold temperature, if covered by snow, within a few minutes, she would be frozen to death.

Both sides were dead ends.

She could only grit her teeth and move forward, secretly holding an elixir in her mouth.

This was one of her life-saving aces, but its side effects were too severe; she didn’t want to take it unless absolutely necessary.

By holding it in her mouth, it was merely a precaution.

A distance of a few hundred meters was only a matter of a few dozen breaths for Li Jingjun.

But in the intense process of escape at this moment...

She could clearly perceive the low, forcibly suppressed breathing sounds from the outside world.

Sure enough, it was lying in wait.

Li Jingjun did not stop her movements yet suddenly halted right before escaping the passage.

Taking a deep breath, she struck several successive punches into the nearby ice and snow at the exit.

Ice and snow are the firmest yet the most fragile things in the world...

So firm that once buried in it, the chance to escape is nearly impossible, but so fragile that a slightly loud noise can result in the disaster of an avalanche.

Just like now.

Li Jingjun used True Qi through her fingers, penetrating the snow from within the passage on both sides.

Under attack from below, the ice and snow collapsed.

With a loud crash audible in all directions.

The previously solid ice surface crumbled completely in an instant.

This passage, dug out by the Ice Snow Leopard for such a long distance, had become extremely vulnerable, and now, after Li Jingjun’s sudden assault...

Li Jingjun could clearly feel the once stable ground lift like a massive winnowing basket, with snow and ice flying into the air and then falling heavily downward.

In a flash, the world turned upside down.

The once flat ground spread at an unbelievable speed in all directions and then collapsed.

In the mere blink of an eye, Li Jingjun was immediately buried in the snow.

"Roar... Xu Lingjun~~!!!"

The roar from the outside carried a hint of panic, clearly indicating that the sudden collapse of the ground caught it totally by surprise.

Amidst the thumping sounds, it seemingly attempted to escape, but after only a few steps, the sound faded away, buried in the endless wind and snow.

Li Jingjun’s single strike caused the collapse of the surrounding ice and snow across dozens of miles, with far-reaching impacts.

Even for a Level 8 Giant Beast, how could it withstand the might of heaven and earth, how could it escape?

"An extraordinary young girl."

From a distance.

Zhou Qianmo had been observing from the shadows all along, watching as Li Jingjun, unable to escape the Giant Ape’s assault, decided to bring mutual destruction and directly triggered an avalanche, burying both herself and the Giant Ape within.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but admire, thinking if Xiaomu had this decisive reaction, perhaps she wouldn’t have perished in this Ice Snow Realm.

What a pity...

If it weren’t for my current situation that cannot see the light of day, I would’ve certainly wanted to rescue this little girl.

Unfortunately, I cannot afford to be exposed.

Moreover, this little girl seems to have some connection with that Xu Lingjun...

Following her, perhaps Xu Lingjun will fall into the trap, who knows.

Zhou Qianmo’s eyes were filled with resentment. He risked enormous danger, even narrowly escaped death numerous times to get here... naturally to kill Xu Lingjun, to avenge his son.

Xu Lingjun not only participated in the plot against his son.

He was also inextricably linked to Xiaomu’s death.

His son was experienced, superior in some ways... since he said Xu Lingjun contributed to Xiaomu’s death, now, with no evidence, he had no choice but to believe his son’s words.

And in the Secret Realm, he inadvertently overheard the Giant Ape repeatedly roaring Xu Lingjun’s name, clearly holding a grudge against him... at that time, Zhou Qianmo thought, if he quietly followed this Giant Ape, maybe it would lead him to Xu Lingjun.

The result was finding a woman.

The woman indeed had a very intimate relationship with Xu Lingjun... Zhou Qianmo initially thought if he quietly followed this woman, there would be a greater chance of finding Xu Lingjun.

Who would’ve thought so soon, the woman and the Giant Ape would perish together.

He couldn’t help but sigh in regret; it seems now he could only risk venturing deeper into the safe zone.

With Xu Lingjun’s strength, he certainly would enter the rescue team.

The structures of Nanyun Martial Mansion and Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion are extremely similar, that’s why Zhou Qianmo could guess with his knees how Liu Zhiyuan would react to sudden Demonic Beast attacks.

And when Xu Lingjun enters the Secret Realm.

This would be his best opportunity.

But now it seems...

He still missed... uh...

Zhou Qianmo suddenly froze, holding his breath, focused on the snow surface that collapsed and fell into dead silence.

From that pile of snow,

a battered figure slowly crawled out.

Li Jingjun... she was still alive.

Though dangerous, she had caused the avalanche herself, so she had prepared, using the Wind Returning Snow technique to dispel some of the weight from falling on her.

Though the force of nature is hard to resist, Li Jingjun only avoided it instead of forcefully resisting... she narrowly escaped with her life.

But she was clearly also seriously injured.

Her right leg was in an irregular shape, obviously crushed and broken by the ice and snow.

Crawling out from the snow, Li Jingjun lay powerlessly on the ground, breathing rapidly... at this moment, she couldn’t even feel the pain in her leg.

If her action had been a little slower, she could have been frozen by the ice and snow and suffocated to death.

Narrow escape... what a narrow escape.

Li Jingjun lay on the ground, breathing rapidly, unable to help but show a slight smile of relief at narrowly escaping death.

Luckily...

Bang~~~!!

"Xu Lingjun~~!!"

All around, ice and snow splattered, a gigantic figure of a Giant Ape tens of meters high forcibly crawled out from the snow and ice.

The Giant Ape was in much worse shape than Li Jingjun.

Its previously pure white fur now covered in blood and mud, looking like it’s bleeding profusely, the loss of blood could drown a person.

"Roar!"

With a furious roar, it glared at Li Jingjun full of rage and punched all out at the prone Li Jingjun.

The gaze mixed with terror, clearly even a Level 8 Demon Beast couldn’t resist the power of nature, it had genuinely almost died just then.

Still alive?

Li Jingjun helplessly closed her eyes, ready to swallow an elixir in her mouth; even if she died, she intended to make it pay by chipping a few of its teeth.

But then...

A loud shout sounded beside her.

"Beast, stop!"

Xu Lingjun!!!

Zhou Qianmo’s eyes suddenly widened, his gaze filled with excitement.

Li Jingjun’s eyes also flashed with a sudden light, and she excitedly looked upward.
