145: Chapter 145 The Fiery Vajra Ape Battles City Lord Chang Yingwei

Because of the appearance of the Burning Fire Vajra Ape, the entire base was on high alert; that terrifying figure was deeply etched into everyone's hearts.

Everyone's gaze converged on City Lord Chang Yingwei, for they knew that when an Evolved Beast of that caliber from the depths of the Great Mountains appeared, only the City Lord could stop it.

The Burning Fire Vajra Ape drew closer and closer to the base before finally stopping at a certain spot. Beneath its feet was a river, which it crossed with ease.

Yet, this river separated the base from the Great Mountains, as if they were two different worlds.

Chang Yingwei's figure also appeared here. At this moment, the City Lord's expression was grave, yet even when facing such a terrifying existence, there was not the slightest ripple in his eyes.

"Burning Fire Vajra Ape, are you intending to tear up the agreement between my Jianghai City and the Great Mountains?"

"Are you not afraid of the Human Race intervening and shattering the tripartite balance between you?"

City Lord Chang Yingwei's voice was not loud, yet it reached the ears of the Burning Fire Vajra Ape. After hearing this, the Burning Fire Vajra Ape's rumbling voice rang out.

"Of course not."

"I, the Burning Fire Vajra Ape, am not an ape that breaks its promises. I am just feeling a bit itchy for a fight right now and want to find someone to spar with."

"How about you accompany this old ape for some practice?"

There was a hint of playfulness and excitement in the Burning Fire Vajra Ape's voice. City Lord Chang Yingwei's expression turned somewhat ugly; he did not believe what this giant beast before him was saying.

The agreement he mentioned earlier was established after he arrived in Jianghai City and discovered the threat of the Great Mountains. At that time, the Great Mountains had already become a force to be reckoned with, and the three major Evolved Beasts were incredibly powerful.

However, they did not get along with each other and frequently fought among themselves.

Chang Yingwei had clashed with them but could not gain any upper hand. With no other choice, given the circumstances at the time, he made an agreement with them: the three major Evolved Beasts were not allowed to attack Jianghai City.

Correspondingly, Chang Yingwei would not disrupt the tripartite balance between the three, nor would he help two of them surround and annihilate the third, otherwise, he would face their combined siege.

Although this agreement seemed very easy, it had been achieved only after enduring countless hardships; the difficulty involved was known only to those who had participated in the plan at the time.

Of course, Chang Yingwei also knew that this agreement could not act as any real constraint; anyone could tear it up. It could even be said to be letting a tiger return to the mountain, giving these three Evolved Beasts more time to develop and grow.

However, Jianghai City had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure at the time; only by doing so could Jianghai City be preserved. If one day one of those three Evolved Beasts from the Great Mountains were to emerge victorious, the first target would be Jianghai City.

And if Jianghai City's strength were to far exceed that of the Great Mountains, it would also disregard this agreement entirely and directly annihilate the Great Mountains.

This was something both sides were well aware of.

Now that the Burning Fire Vajra Ape had come, could it be because something happened in the Great Mountains? Chang Yingwei felt that things would not be so simple and would absolutely not be as it claimed.

Moreover, most importantly, he also discovered that there were quite a few wounds on the Burning Fire Vajra Ape's body, as if a battle had just taken place recently.

"Let me see how your strength has been lately."

The Burning Fire Vajra Ape's voice rang out again. The Burning Fire Vajra Ape attacked directly without the slightest hesitation, unleashing its full strength.

The earth trembled as the true martial tree trunk in its hand smashed fiercely toward Chang Yingwei.

Chang Yingwei was immediately shocked, for within this aura, he sensed that the Burning Fire Vajra Ape's strength had grown stronger once again.

"How could it be this fast?"

Chang Yingwei felt some disbelief in his heart; the last time he clashed with the Burning Fire Vajra Ape, he could only barely fight to a draw, but now he felt a strong sense of crisis.

"Boom!"

Chang Yingwei's expression was grave as he unleashed his full strength. Bolts of lightning filled the sky around him, and his entire body was surrounded by electric light, as if a Thunder God had descended to the mortal realm.

"Domain: Thunderstorm!"

City Lord Chang Yingwei roared and swung his arms violently, instantly consuming a quarter of the energy in his body; he had used his most powerful Move.

Only in this way was it possible to repel the Burning Fire Vajra Ape. As the City Lord of Jianghai City, he absolutely could not show any signs of weakness; otherwise, Jianghai City would be in danger.

In an instant, under Chang Yingwei's control, countless azure lightning bolts descended upon the head of the Burning Fire Vajra Ape, striking it fiercely.

It was completely submerged within them.

City Lord Chang Yingwei stared fixedly at the Burning Fire Vajra Ape being bombarded by the lightning. Strike while the iron is hot; since you wanted to make a Move, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Suddenly, a lightning spear dozens of meters long appeared.

It was thrown violently at an extreme speed, already countless times the speed of sound, and it pierced fiercely into the Burning Fire Vajra Ape's body.

"How is that?"

Chang Yingwei exhaled a breath; using two major Moves at once was a bit taxing for him. He seized the time to recover his strength, his eyes fixed gravely on the center of the lightning.

Everyone far away in the base was staring fixedly at this scene.

"Is that Burning Fire Vajra Ape dead?"

"Having suffered such a terrifying attack from the City Lord, even if it's not dead, it should be heavily injured, right?"

Many people murmured, but Chang Yingwei on the battlefield did not feel the slightest sense of relief; he heard the sound of a heartbeat, getting louder and louder.

"Hiss..."

"That actually hurts a little."

The Burning Fire Vajra Ape's voice rang out, and Chang Yingwei's breath hitched. How was this possible? How could it not be injured?

The Burning Fire Vajra Ape's figure emerged from the sky-filling lightning. The power of the lightning seemed to have caused it no harm whatsoever, and in its huge hand, it was gripping that lightning spear tightly.

The lightning spear was only a few dozen centimeters away from its chest.

It exerted force with both hands, and the incomparably terrifying lightning spear instantly shattered, turning into a sky full of lightning radiance.

"But if this is all the strength you have, it's not enough to face me."

"This level of lightning power is about the same as a massage for my body."

The Burning Fire Vajra Ape said with a hint of disdain in its eyes. Although Chang Yingwei's attack had injured it, it was still far from enough to defeat it.

Chang Yingwei clenched his fists tightly; he had used his full strength, yet it was easily caught. A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead; the evolution speed of this Burning Fire Vajra Ape far exceeded his imagination.

How could its strength be this strong?

It had only been three months since the last time the two clashed.

He even felt some doubt in his heart, wondering if his previous decision had been wrong. Back then, he should have risked everything Jianghai City had to annihilate the threat of the Great Mountains.

But it was too late to say anything now.

The Burning Fire Vajra Ape made a Breakthrough of the thunderstorm area and came toward Chang Yingwei, a ferocious smile on its face; it seemed that coming out of the mountains this time was much easier than it had thought.

It had not expected Chang Yingwei's strength to be so much weaker than it had imagined.

It seemed that it had truly overestimated Jianghai City; it had not expected it to be so weak.

In that case, then go to hell.

The Burning Fire Vajra Ape's terrifying power erupted, and the true martial tree trunk smashed toward him fiercely. In an instant, phantom images of the true martial tree trunk seemed to appear from all sides of Chang Yingwei.

Chang Yingwei had nowhere to escape.

Chang Yingwei could feel that, in an instant, killing intent appeared in the Burning Fire Vajra Ape's eyes. His thoughts flew in an instant, and he realized that the Burning Fire Vajra Ape intended to kill him.

After seeing that his strength was inferior to its own, it had developed the idea of killing him.

Was the Great Mountains really going to make a Move against Jianghai City?

For a moment, Chang Yingwei faced a life-or-death crisis, and just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Burning Fire Vajra Ape, do you want to die?"
