"Little one, you hide to the side first and watch Daddy fight the four beasts."
Qin Yi placed the little one on the bridge, then loosened up his body, shook his wrists, walked back, and beckoned with his fingers, "All four of you, come at me together."
Crash!
Qin Yi turned his head to see the ground's rubble trembling, flying towards the dismembered Stone Ape, instantly forming a new stone arm.
"This... you guys are cheating, aren't you?" Qin Yi screeched.
The severed arm can regenerate, how can you fight like this?
Roar...!
A dull roar echoed like thunder, as the four Stone Apes charged furiously at Qin Yi like four small mountains crashing in.
Boom!
Purple Light swept through, Qin Yi's fists turned into Purple Gold Stone-like, and with one punch, light rolled all around.
Bam!
Without any fancy moves, he clashed head-on with a fist from one of the Stone Apes, and the force was so strong it tore the surrounding air apart.
Crash!
The Stone Ape towering over ten meters was smashed to pieces by Qin Yi's punch, turning into a heap of rubble.
"Your young master here has an unrivaled physique, to go head-on with me, aren't you courting death..."
Bam!
Before Qin Yi could finish his sentence, another Stone Ape directly blasted him away.
"Damn it, you guys have no manners. Shouldn't you at least greet before attacking? That's a sneak attack," Qin Yi steadied himself, rubbed his shoulder; these Stone Apes, made of rocks, almost shattered his shoulder with their punch force.
Crash, crash...!
The ground's rubble rolled, and the Stone Ape shattered by Qin Yi's punch reassembled.
"Again."
Qin Yi shook his wrist, then forcefully lunged, punched in mid-air, and Fist Marks burst out, expanding in the wind to millstone size.
Boom!
Half of a Stone Ape's body was directly blasted apart by the Fist Mark.
One head was blown away, and the remaining two were smashed into pieces.
"Useless." Qin Yi akimbo, full of pride.
He realized that these Stone Apes were just strong but had no Cultivation.
"Little one, isn't Daddy amazing?"
"Awoo~"
The little one jumped around the edge, seemingly cheering for Qin Yi.
Qin Yi grew even prouder. If an ordinary Qi Refiner faced this situation, they might just flee, but with his unparalleled physique, he had no fear of these Stone Apes.
The ground rolled at any time, and the Stone Apes began to reassemble.
Soon, the four Stone Apes returned to normal.
But Qin Yi was dumbfounded, then burst into laughter, because the shattered stones mixed together. The Stone Apes fought for the stones on the ground, with heads on each other's arms and arms on each other's legs, becoming a total mess.
That Stone Ape without a head rushed over, tore off another Stone Ape's arm, then picked up its head and put it on.
"Hahaha..." Qin Yi laughed till he rocked back and forth.
It turns out dealing with these Stone Apes is so simple.
Violent Purple Light surged from Qin Yi's body, and with a wave of his hand, like a stormy wave, blasted towards the four Stone Apes.
Boom!
The four Stone Apes were overwhelmed by the purple tide, smashed into stone pieces instantly, and the terrifying destructive power turned even the ground's bluestone slabs to powder.
Qin Yi raised his hand, a gale arose, scattering the surging storm.
The four Stone Apes turned into a pile of rubble.
"With your dense stone brains, it's really too simple to deal with you, let's see how you regroup now?" Qin Yi laughed proudly.
"Little one, wait there for Daddy, I'll pick Spirit Fruits for you to eat."
Qin Yi walked leisurely, taking his time approaching the Spiritual Fruit Tree, leisurely picking two Spirit Fruits with a special technique and taking out a box to store them.
Immediately, Qin Yi walked up to the massive Stone Gate, looking it over.
This Stone Gate was grand and tall, standing before it gave a strong sense of oppression.
The Stone Gate was covered with carvings, Qin Yi stepped back a few steps to see clearly; they were Qilin reliefs, vividly carved, exuding immense beastly might.
Above the Stone Gate were three large characters carved in elegant strokes: Array Emperor Residence.
Array Emperor?
An emperor through the Array, perhaps?
Qin Yi couldn't help but be shocked; this person was bold enough to call himself an Array Emperor.
How does this door open?
Qin Yi stepped forward to try, and to his surprise, with a gentle push, this massive Stone Gate opened a crack, making no sound.
This...
Qin Yi even suspected this Stone Gate was made of paper.
"Awoo~"
At this moment, the little one let out a cry.
Qin Yi turned his head, immediately taken aback.
The Stone Apes had reassembled, but this time not into four, but one. The Stone Ape, originally tens of meters tall, became dozens of meters tall and had four heads, bizarre and fearsome, making one's heart chill.
Roar!
The Stone Ape roared, shaking the ground.
Its massive feet lifted, directly stomping towards Qin Yi.
"You want to die? I ought to crush you to powder." Qin Yi was enraged; dare to stomp on his head?
Purple Light rolled, surging like a tide into the sky.
Boom!
The storm swept, and the rolling Purple Light was directly stomped into an explosion by the Stone Ape's great foot.
Qin Yi's face drastically changed; the combined Stone Ape's strength was tens of times more powerful than before.
Swoosh!
Qin Yi's body flickered and he dashed out.
With a thud, the plaza trembled; the ground was stomped to explosion by the Stone Ape's enormous foot, surrounding bluestone slabs shattered into powder, and terrifying cracks spread crazily like centipedes.
Damn it, seems like I did something stupid; I shouldn't have smashed all four Stone Apes.
The four Stone Apes, when merged, had exponentially increased in strength, seeing this momentum; I can't possibly withstand it.
Whoosh!
The strong wind howled, and with a punch, the Stone Ape smashed towards Qin Yi, like a small mountain falling.
Qin Yi lightly tapped his toes, shooting backwards like a streak of light, and at the same time, threw two punches in succession, Fist Marks expanded in the wind to millstone size, colliding with the Stone Ape's fist.
Boom! Boom!
Two explosive sounds, only a few giant stones on the Stone Ape's fist crumbled.
Qin Yi's expression changed drastically; the Stone Ape's Unification also enhanced its defensive power.
Boom!
The Stone Ape's fist slammed into the ground, smashing a big pit, stones burst, the ground cracked, and within dozens of meters around, it was turned into a cobweb.
Roar!
The Stone Ape roared, its voice like Thunder Shock, its massive foot raised again, stomping towards Qin Yi.
Qin Yi dared not meet head-on, dashed to the little one, picked it up, and was forced to rush towards the bridge.
Boom!
The ground shook incessantly, the Stone Ape stomped another big pit on the ground, demolishing a third of the entire plaza.
Qin Yi's scalp tingled, holding the little one, rushing wildly. Along the way, he glanced back and suddenly stopped; the Stone Ape didn't chase onto the bridge.
This bridge was narrow, barely two meters wide, the Stone Ape dared not come over.
"Big gorilla, come chase me." Qin Yi taunted; as long as the Stone Ape dared to chase onto the bridge, he had a way to make it fall off.
However, the Stone Ape wasn't fooled, pounding its chest with hands, voice like muffled thunder, continuously letting out earth-shaking roars at Qin Yi.
