Chapter 668: Flying Titan

Xu Yang sneered, "You're right. We're here today to wipe out all Cloud City forces. Before we unleash a full-scale massacre, you still have time to escape. After all, the air in this First Realm is so fresh; I truly wouldn't want your filthy blood to contaminate this environment."

The female assassin leader said nothing more. She immediately signaled the white-clad assassins behind her, and countless white lights swiftly ascended, forming an incredibly powerful killing formation high above the clouds.

In an instant, endless black light blades from the center of the formation continuously bombarded Xu Yang's team. Each blade contained an immensely powerful divine killing force!

"Be on guard!" Xu Yang calmly commanded. With a gentle wave of his hand in the void, an incredibly transparent protective shield materialized, completely enveloping and safeguarding everyone in his team.

However, these endless light blades soon shattered Xu Yang's defensive formation.

"Such powerful force," someone commented. "These light blades must be extremely corrosive. Boss, should we counterattack immediately?"

Xu Yang, however, shook his head.

"I haven't yet figured out the true mysteries of this place. If we act rashly and let endless blood stain this area, it could very well defile the pure angelic life force. Don't forget, the blood of the angelic lineage is very special and possesses strong neutralizing properties. If it mixes with the contamination from their bloodline, the ultimate fate of those three young ones could be sealed by our actions."

It had to be said, Xu Yang's consideration was remarkably thorough. However, this approach made it challenging for the team to swiftly eliminate the Cloud City female assassins before them.

Just then, Xu Yang suddenly turned his gaze to Taishan, the giant ape beside him.

"Senior Giant Ape, if I gave you a pair of wings, could you, with your immense strength, conquer all of them by yourself?"

It was the first time Taishan had ever been asked such a question. For a true king of the land like him, if he truly possessed the ability to fly, then the giant ape could soar through the heavens and delve into the earth, unbound by the sky. His power could then be unleashed to its absolute maximum, without any limitations.

"To be honest with you, kid," he replied, "that's the power I've always dreamed of possessing. It's just a shame our giant ape lineage isn't blessed with such a gift."

Xu Yang burst out laughing. "Meeting us," he declared, "is your greatest blessing!"

The next moment, Xu Yang thrust out the Jade Bone Divine Sword. Under his spiritual control, the divine sword transformed into a flying medium, and in an instant, it lifted the colossal body of Taishan, the giant ape, into mid-air.

A triumphant roar!

Taishan, like a child who had received a beloved toy, grasped the Jade Bone Divine Sword with one hand and flipped repeatedly in mid-air. He played for a good while before finally getting serious and entering battle mode.

"This big ape is truly exasperating," Long Kun muttered, shaking his head and grumbling about the ape's antics. But when the giant became serious, dragged by the Jade Bone Divine Sword, and flew into the center of the sword formation composed of dozens of white-clad women, the terrifying combat power he displayed in that single encounter truly silenced Long Kun.

He clearly understood that he had no right to mock the giant ape Taishan; his power was simply too immense!

"My heavens, he's incredibly powerful! This is unbelievable!"

Everyone was completely dumbfounded at that moment, for they clearly saw the giant ape, with a single punch, utterly pulverize ten of the female assassins! Even more terrifying was its power: once it locked onto their auras, the dozen or so female assassins seemed to have their movements completely suppressed. No matter how they struggled, they couldn't break free from the giant's aura blockade.

"See?" Xu Yang explained. "This is the most terrifying aspect of the giant ape lineage. They possess ultimate power, like the pure brilliance of dawn and dusk! Through an unparalleled explosion of their power attributes, they can even influence the very form of the surrounding void! That punch just now might have seemed devoid of technical skill, but it held Taishan's profound essence and the invaluable experience accumulated over countless years of conquest. The sheer power unleashed by that single punch was enough to forcibly distort the void at the location his aura locked onto, thereby creating an effect of spatial imprisonment on the target."

As Xu Yang finished speaking, everyone nearby was filled with endless exclamations of awe, gaining a completely new understanding of Taishan, the giant ape.

The remaining dozen or so white-clad figures were utterly terrified by the giant ape's horrifying might. They had completely lost the will to continue fighting, but despite their desire to flee the battlefield, they were powerless to break free from his terrifying, overwhelming grasp.

Just as the giant was about to unleash another annihilating punch, Xu Yang suddenly soared into the air. With his own immense power, he forcibly shattered the giant ape's aura blockade. However, Xu Yang did this not out of pity, but because he needed a few puppets who could speak the truth.

The few female assassins who had already prepared for death opened their eyes in bewilderment, only to find that the giant ape's death punch had not arrived as expected. Instead, Xu Yang's remarkably handsome figure had suddenly appeared directly before them.

"I'll give you a chance to save your lives. Tell me what you've discovered in that clear spring over the past few years."

The female assassin glanced at Xu Yang timidly. She had intended to resist, but when her gaze met Xu Yang's incredibly domineering and sharp eyes, she felt an involuntary tremble deep within her soul.

"The aura of the angelic bloodline is hidden within this clear spring," the assassin confessed. "But we spent three years and still couldn't find its ultimate source. It's like a divine spring that descended from the heavens. Anyone who tries to investigate its origin inexplicably falls into a unique mental state, entering a dream-like trance."

As Xu Yang listened to the assassin, his certainty grew even stronger.

Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Yang waved his hand at the few remaining individuals.

"I will keep my promise and spare your lives. However, your ancestor in Cloud City might not be as lenient as I am. You'll have to decide your own path from now on. Oh, and take your companions with you when you leave this place."

Xu Yang's celestial power descended, offering these three female assassins a chance to survive. All three gratefully bowed and repeatedly thanked Xu Yang. Then, they swiftly cleaned up the area, each soaring into the air and quickly vanishing from sight.
