Xiang Beifei couldn't think of a corresponding desolate beast at the moment, so he decided to take a look at the strange rocks to see if he could block the crevices and prevent them from emitting sounds again.
However, just as he approached the Gobi, before his foot even touched the ground, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the rocks of the Gobi!
It was a gigantic white ape with wounds all over its body, roughly over three meters tall and extremely muscular. It had four arms; two of them had steel-like white blades, resembling two gleaming steel knives.
One of the ape's arms seemed broken, with a grisly white bone protruding from where the limb had been torn off, as if it had just been ripped apart, and it was unclear who had done it.
Xiang Beifei recognized this white ape as a very powerful desolate beast called the "blade ape," known for its special characteristic of attacking its enemies with its steel-like bladed arms— a particularly violent type of ape desolate beast.
The blade ape had come from the other side of the Gobi, and when it saw Xiang Beifei, its eyes filled with boundless rage.
The Three-Armed Saber Ape waved its two sabers angrily, chopping at Xiang Beifei.
The two sabers were incredibly formidable, with their blades flashing, whooshing through the air, and mixing with formidable force. The power of the strike made even Xiang Beifei frown slightly.
It was much stronger than him, probably at least the power of the mid-stage Meridian Opening!
The blade ape's blade crashed forth, locking onto Xiang Beifei with deadly intent and a terrifying aura. With one slash, it seemed to cut a million times, locking down every possible direction for Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei held his breath and watched intently. This strike was not for play!
His fists immediately conjured up powerful flames that roared and interweaved in front of him, forming a burst of violent gusts.
Xiang Beifei also channeled the "Counter Blade" Cultivation Technique on his body, driving it into the gust in front of him.
The terrifying blade light smashed onto Xiang Beifei's violent gust. The immense force spread rapidly, making Xiang Beifei feel as if he'd been hit by a small mountain. The sinister blade was incredibly powerful and rolled toward him.
He had tried his best to use "Counter Blade" to fight back the blade's light, but the opponent's strength was much greater than his, making it impossible to dissipate the tremendous force completely. He was still blasted away.
Xiang Beifei was sent flying backward ten or so meters by the force, feeling as if his chest was being crushed by a massive stone, almost suffocating him. He crashed into the rocks behind him, smashing them into powder.
"What a wicked thing."
Xiang Beifei touched his chest where it seemed he had broken a rib. The blade ape's cultivation level was strong, stronger than him, at least in the mid-stage of Meridian Opening.
He had only just stepped into the Meridian Opening phase recently and was utterly incapable of withstanding the force.
"Strange, how could a four-armed blade ape appear in this desert?"
Xiang Beifei quickly pondered in his mind. He remembered that the books said four-armed blade apes liked to hide in snowy areas, not deserts.
The blade ape did not give Xiang Beifei any time to think, as if blinded by rage, it swung its shiny saber at him again!
"No good, I can't take it head-on."
Xiang Beifei's gaze sharpened. He knew the weakness of this type of blade ape: their whole body was tough, and it was very hard to cut through their hide without the power of the mid-stage Meridian Opening, except for an acupoint on the neck, about the size of a thumb. That was where the blade ape's Beast Pill was located. If he could poke into it, he could kill the creature!
Xiang Beifei immediately got up, ignoring the pain, and thrust his hand forcefully into the sandy soil beneath him; his Spiritual Power rapidly spread into the sand—
The sand, filled with a yellow haze, was made lighter by force and quickly floated into the air, then changed direction. The sand became heavy again; each grain weighed a pound and instantly smashed down on the blade ape.
He first needed to restrict the blade ape's speed, then, by surprise, strike its fatal point.
Each grain of sand weighing a pound, the numerous grains descended like meteorites, thunderously striking the blade ape.
At the same time, Xiang Beifei took the opportunity to use the sand as cover and dashed closer to the blade ape!
However, Xiang Beifei soon startled!
Because the sand actually went through the blade ape's body as if it was an illusion, unable to be hit by the grains at all!
And the breath soil in his hand had already turned into a blade, stabbing at the blade ape's neck— but his breath soil also passed through the blade ape's body, completely missing!
Was this an illusion?
Xiang Beifei was quite surprised; he remembered blade apes only relied on brute strength and their two large sabers to fight, without any special ability to dodge attacks. Its physique was already tough, and most of the time, it took hits head-on.
But on second thought, it didn't seem right!
If it were an illusion, why did the blade ape's strike on his own violent gust produce such terrifying power earlier?
Xiang Beifei couldn't be certain of this at the moment. This blade ape that didn't belong here had abilities completely different from the blade apes he understood.
But the blade ape had already recovered and swung its hand again, blasting Xiang Beifei out, sending him crashing into the ground, creating a trench twenty meters long.
"Why is this creature so eerily strange."
